You walked down th steps with your brother and Xiumin, to where Zitao waited. "What are you doing here?" You asked, hesitantly.

"I was going to surprise you. I wanted to take you shopping for the dance. I mean, I am-" You cut him off, grabbing Jongdae's arm.

"You haven't met my brother, have you? This is Jongdae." You said and Tao's face dropped a little before smiling. You had warned him about your brother's behavior towards boys in the past.

"You're her what exactly?" Jongdae asked and Tao smirked.

"I'm her friend. Obviously." Tao said she wanted to die inside. He was being so childish.

"Well, we're taking Minseok to get a tux. I guess I could go shopping as well." You say, nervously.

Jongdae's face lit up immediately, forgetting about the two boys. "Yes, let's get you a new dress. What colr do you want?" He asked, pulling you away from the two boys and you smiled, nodding. Jongdae could be so over protective, but he was also doting and loving. You knew that if he could give it to you, you would have anything he so much as thought you wanted,. Sometimes, you wished he wouldn't do so much for you, but you couldn't help, but love him for it.

You went from store to store, trying on dresses, some for the dance, some just because Jongdae thought they would look god on you. You smiled, trying on a flowing babydoll dress that faded from silver to black. "I love it." You said, spinning in the dress. The pleated fabric billowed around you and you smiled to yourself. "Can I have it? Please? Pretty please?" You asked and Jongdae nodded, smiling.

"Let's get your not so imaginary friend a tux, shall we?" Jongdae asked and you nodded, smiling. Minseok chuckled a little, under his breath. He was trying very hard to seem unaffected, but you saw the way his eyes lit up as you. You smiled at both him and Zitao as they looked at you. You were more than happy to see   "Perhaps your other friend should consult his date before buying his suit?" Jongdae asked and Zitao almost visibly cringed. 

"I'll be wearing black. It suits my coloring." Zitao said and Jongdae frowned. 

"You would just arbritrarily pick a color based on your complextion and entirely disreagrd your date? Isn't that a bit selfish?" Jongdae asked and Zitao was taken aback. "Well, come on, then." Jogndae said, casually.

The boys tried on tuxes and suits as you watched, sitting next to your brother. It wasn't hard to remember what had drawn you to Zitao when you saw him wear a suit. He was flawless. He looked tragically elegant in every one he tried on. He was tall and handsome to the point of being stunning. He was vain, of course, but it was more than warranted.

Minseok was smaller, but had his own devilish charms. As innocent as he could be, he was dashing and dangerous in his own right. Looking between the two of them, you couldn't help, but bite your lip. Minseok smirked, all confidence and swagger as he slipped into your mind. {How do I look?} He asked, sounding almost shy.

{You look like a very dashing demon dumpling.} You teased, keeping your face relaxed. Minseok smirked as you walked up and fixed Tao's tie. Tao smiled as Minseok chckled in your mind. You turned around and looked at the mirror. You imagined the picture the two of you would paint together would be beautiful. As you watched Zitao try terribly hard not to show how much he adored you as his fingers slid over your wrist. You almost wished you could have loved him.

Soemthing flashed into your vision and you frowned, confused. Minseok's eyes snapped to you and Tao in the mirror and his lip twitched. {Come away from him.} Minseok said, very quietly into your mind and you smiled at Tao, patting his tie and stepping away.

{Now isn't the time to be jealous, Minseok.} You responded, stepping to his side. You fixed his jacket, ignoring the heat of Zitao's glare on your back. {Everyhing is fine. Do you know why?} You asked him, looking in his eyes. {I'm going to spend every night for the rest of my life the exact same way I have spent every night since my childhood. With you.} Minseok's bad boy act fell a little as he listned to you. You patted out his jacket as you returned to your bro
