.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ✦ ‧₊˚ ⋅ midsummers. the ever so dreadful event.

it wasn't something new to you to hate attending events of all kinds, especially when it involved playing dress up and acting like the golden daughter for as long as it needed. and with your preference to be more masculine in everything you do, it felt like hell wearing dresses and wearing excessive makeup, it felt like you were cosplaying someone you aren't.

of course, you'd wear things that go well with your style all the time, make yourself comfortable in your own skin, people pointed it out before, but never as much as people will during events.

so, this time, you decided to up your game a bit.

you showed up in a suit to the midsummers. a navy blue one, but not the boring kind you see on every other suit, it was the kind of navy you'd see in the sky just before dawn, the colour of blueberries, something like blue tourmaline. it had white beaded shoulder caps that shone, a tie equally as stunning, one that gave the expensive air about you, though it didn't cost much.

you didn't even need to look around to feel the weight of eyes on you, not quite appreciative, but judgy. it was uncomfortable, but at least it was mental, it wasn't about how you felt out of place. but you got compliments here and there, about how you made a suit less boring than it usually is, and it helped you get through the night.

ending up taking a fresh breathe of air outside, away from the chattering and the faint music. you'd noticed someone's presence accompanying you. JJ, wearing the waiter costume, was walking towards you with a tray in hand, two cocktails adorning it as he approached you with a smile.

"figured the lovely lady might want some company, best I could think of is the blue shimmer cocktail and this fine young man right here." he bows slightly, presenting the tray to you.

"you look beautiful tonight."
