Dates and dress fittings

"No, if they tried to take her from him, he'd rip the world apart with his bare hands. And for some reason, that didn't terrify him"

Blossom's POV

"What do you think?" Asteria asked, looking at me sceptically as I looked at the dress myself in the mirror
It was beautiful. Gorgeous even
But it was so dark.

I don't know if I'll be able to get used to this... demon thing
I wasn't dark. Or scary. I wasn't able to hold myself with the same stoic attitude everyone seemed to hold.

"It's lovely" I said
"Hmm" she thought, before she circled me
"I think this one will do. All the others are rather... drab. And this brings out your complexion quite well" she said
"Um... Thankyou? I said confused.

She smiled, but it was a bitter one. One that didn't seem real, one that seemed more like a expression of amusement at me
"Right. Maria, pin where needed... then get it off. Don't want it ruined before the big event" she ordered

The maid nodded, before rushing up to the little stage I was on and beginning to pin the dress where needed.

Before Asteria just left me.
I felt a little abandoned
This was my first time being left here without Sin, and I know I shouldn't rely on him all the time. But when it came to hell... I had no shame in admitting I needed him here.

"It's good enough I suppose"
I jumped slightly from the intrusion of a new voice in the room
I looked in the mirror and saw Keane was in the doorway behind me
With a smirk on his face.

"Thank you" I said simply
I didn't want any part in his games
"You must be careful as a new queen" he warned casually
I sighed slightly
"Why?" I asked, indulging him.

"Because dressed like that... you may attract certain attention you don't want. Sin might have a run for his money" he chuckled, looking me up and down
I turned around, looking at him for a moment.

For an intimidating man, he really did where his emotions on his sleeve
He obviously never meant to. I don't think he knows how much he lets slip in his words.

"Thankyou for your concern Keane. But what I wear has no correlation to my ability to rule a kingdom. Nor is it my problem what people begin to think of me because of my attire. But I can agree with you on one thing" I said confidently.

"And what might that be my queen?" He asked
"It is certainly unwanted attention" I said simply, turning back around
I didn't want anyone's attention, especially not his.
