Request: Day always loved June but June was dancing with Anden at the ball. He was waiting for the chance to ask her but it was always June and Anden. June wanted Day to ask her to dance. but Anden asked her first. and Day never asked her. When the ball was over. June was sitting alone but Day comes to ask her to dance. They realize they love each other and then KISS! — ilouvboooks

Ever since Day learn how to do the simplest of things, June had always been there. Being neighbors and childhood sweethearts, it is what Day always considers to be the best thing he ever knew. And he know deep down him that he'll never try to change the past of them being children playing role-plays and promises that they'll one day marry when both of them are old enough. But the two of them being the perfect duo had changed when the Stavropoulos family transferred just next door as well with them, and the young son of the couple befriended them two. Since then, it had been the three of them—Day, June and Anden Stavropoulos.

Day has no grudges against Anden Stavropoulos at all. But the boy is way much more posh and regal, everything that Day is opposite to. When it had been him and June, they would play without any regards of getting dirty. But when Anden arrived, they always keep order and cleanliness in check. Not to mention as well that Anden had told him once back then during their elementary days that he had a crush with June, and when he was asked by the other boy if he have feelings for June, he remembered saying that he don't and treated her like a sister. And when he learned that Anden will wish to court June by the time that they were old enough, he could swear that he almost punched the wall with how of an idiot he had been.

He had always failed to make the advancements. He had always been late to realize how rational his actions had been. He had always been afraid of being turned down that he didn't do anything. He had always wanted to do something but didn't.

Even during tonight's acquaintance ball. He could swear that his jaw falls to the floor when he saw June enter the hall in a dazzling red gown. Even with the laser-cut mask that she wore, he could swear that it doesn't hide the beauty that June has. In every way, he knew that he'll always recognize June no matter what disguise. And as always, he had been a minute late when Anden met her first and he was still about few feet away from acknowledging her. He stopped midway and watched from afar how the two first converse, and finally, his jealousy flares when Anden placed a hand by June's back, guiding her to the middle of the room for a dance.

Anden had always been the elegant and regal one. It is much visible on the way he guides June so well throughout the waltz. Day couldn't help but to feel the heartache that settled in his own chest as he watches how Anden looks at June so intently, as if she is the only person in the room, as if they are the only people who exist right there.

Day takes a glass of wine first before deciding to move towards the corner of the ballroom, searching then for women who'll hesitantly ask him for a dance than the other way around. He knew that he'll accept their offer as the chivalrous man he is, but it will not be enough to compensate his wish to dance with the lady in red.

The night ended with June disappointed of not being able to have the dance she so coveted. Early hour before the ball, June didn't know what to say with Anden's invitation to be his partner for the night. She politely declines and tells him that he should stop throwing hints at her for she couldn't imagine them being in a relationship at all. To which Anden accepted with a heavy heart, and she hopes that it will not end their friendship. And true to her, Anden didn't seem rather awkward when she is by the time that he asked her for a dance. The man assured her that he is offering her for a dance as a friend and nothing else, finally starting to accept her decision.

In the first place, June originally do not want to spend the entire night with Anden appearing as her partner. But no matter how hard she looks for the man she wanted to offer her a dance, she couldn't do so. And when she does found him, she saw him dancing with another girl, one after another. Completely disappointed she is that Day didn't offer her a dance at all. Until the very last dance, he didn't.

"I promised Metias that I'll wait for him," she assures. "He told me that he'll pick me up. He'll freak out if he arrived here with me being nowhere but on the way home already."

"If you say so," Anden replies with a smile. He draws closer to give June a friendly kiss on the cheeks, causing her to flush a little. He chuckles before heading off. "Well, I'll start to remind myself then that you don't. I'll surely need to suppress myself the next."

June smiles. "You should."

With a wave of her hand, she watches Anden heads on to his parked car and leaves. She remains by the front steps leading to the entrance of the very ballroom, sitting on one step as she waits for Metias, watching countless other students heading off as well. Until the entire place starts to be just her. For some reasons, she grows impatient of how long it takes Metias to arrive to pick her up; after all, the night is awfully chilly today that she starts rubbing her arms to warm her skin.

Suddenly, she feels someone placing his coat over her shoulders to stop her shiver, and someone tells her, "You know, you should not even wear something like that if you couldn't take the cold."

She looks up, almost gaping at the sight of the man she had wished for the entire night to ask her for a dance but didn't. And now, she wants to punch him for being all gentleman for keeping her company like any friend will do when he had been flirting and entertaining other women throughout the night, not even bothering to seek her. She watches as he sits next to her on the steps, hair disheveled for who knows how many times he had run his fingers through his locks, and his dress shirt's sleeves rolled until his elbows and his dark vest still firmly buttoned until the last button.

"What an eventful night it is, right?" he inquires.

"Spoken by someone like you, Wing," she remarks as she clutches onto the lapels of his coat on her shoulders to draw it closer to her, wanting his warmth and his smell so close to her. She looks away with a flush. "You have countless of dances tonight. How many of them had begged you to dance with them, huh?"

"Spoken by the woman I so wanted to dance to but couldn't with her partner being so closed by, Iparis," he counters.

"What?" She instantly turns to him, surprised by his words. When she looks at him, he is looking at her intently and honest and true. She couldn't help but look at his blue eyes and say for herself that he is serious right now.

"Just as what you've heard me saying," he answers as he draws closer to her that their faces are separated by six inches alone. He breathes in the same air as she does, keeping both of themselves warm if ever their close proximity will do that. He murmurs, "I wanted to dance with you, but Anden…"

"I've settled things with Anden," she whispers, still looking at him intently. "I told him that there's nothing more than friendship for him and me. It's just a dance, Day. And I've…"

"And you've?"

"And I've been waiting as well, you know. For you to ask me."

"Why?"

"Because… Because I like you." Ever since they were kids, even before Anden came in to their lives, she knew that she had always been attracted of him. But he had always been the popular one. She is nowhere in that part of his life.

Day smiles. "The feeling is mutual," he assures as he closes the distance between them and kisses her gently and lightly, testing if it had been real. After a few second, both of them pull away and he throws her a much bigger smile than ever, standing up right away as he offers a hand at her direction. "It isn't too late for the last dance, right?"

She chuckles as she takes his hand. "Yes."
