Y/N's POV

The day of the ball was upcoming, and boy was the king right. So many requests, so little time. Though, with all the requests i'm getting, I have so many opportunities to evaluate the competition's fashion, and me and the king have the best outfit pair so far, I don't know why exactly i'm turning it into a competition, but I am.

I finished up a white snowflake them dress, placing it on a hanger and hanging it on a moving rack, I say down on a beanbag, sighing, deciding now would be my breaking. I looked down at my hands, a few small punctures from the needles and sewing scissors, as well as being a little dry, but no matter, just the price of hard work. I trifled through my bag, grabbing a juice box, taking a long sip.

An knock occurred at the door, before I could reply, the king entered, his eyes glancing all oover, his cheeks a slight crimson.

Y /N: oh, Heeey! what brings you here?

I smiled, standing next to him, waving, he opened his mouth to answer, but noticed the conditions of my hands , he rubbed, y wrist, pulling it to my face, a subtle blush occurring on my cheeks.

Xavier: Oh, this will simply not do! I Shall get you a royal Hand massage and manicure!

I giggled, he's being so sweet, in such a bossy way.

Y/N: oh no, that's fine, it's just a sign of hard work..

Xavier: Oh no, I insist!!

He grabbed my arm, shouting something to Maya before taking me out the creek, much to my suprise, and to a nearby nail salon.

Y/N: is this really all necessary?

He made a slightly frustrated face

Xavier: Of course it is! You only deserve the best!

I giggled, deciding to tease him on it.

Y/N: And why is that?

He turnt beet red once more, so adorable. He stammered, his eyes averted, clearly making something up on the spot

Xavier: N-no because.. uhm.. well you see, your going with me to the winter ball, yeah, so you need to look presentable... so you don't embarrass me of course!

I giggled with a smirk

Y/N: If you say so, lead the way, my noble king

I offered my hand for him to hold, he Blushes as he stared st it for a bit, before he took it, his hand trembling, he's antsy, how adorable! you know... im beggining to think im a little off my rocker...

He lead me into the nail salon, the ladies sat me down and he paid quickly, they gave me a good, and I mean good massage, my hands soaking in water.

( This next part is only for characters who want their nails painted, it is not crucial to plot)

The king grabbed a pamphlet full of nail designs and colours, flipping through and suggesting different ones.

Xavier: Ooh, this purple-pearled one would pop with your pretty skin!

Xavier: no, no! these teal ones would make your eyes shimmer!

Xavier: ooh-Ooh-

I giggled at his ever going excitement, as he obsessed over my features without even realizing it, he's just so.... adorable..In the end, we agreed on a golden set, with 2 violet on the middle finger... I chose that finger for a reason.. heh...

The nail stylist began painting, the kind watched eagerly, almost proud,he boasted on about his generosity and kindness, and I just smiled, listening.

( End of Segment)

We exited the salon, I admired my hands

Y/N: Thanks, Xavier...

He blushed a Rouge, crimson red as he heard me say his name and thanks, he quickly shook it off, proudly pointing to himself.

Xavier: Of course, I'm the best of the best, the most generous..

And the reddest.... but I'll keep that to myself..

We returned to the creek, he sat in his Treehouse as I worked on orders, admiring the newfound softness of my hands.
