Tonight was the night of the formal and you were Ant’s date. You two weren’t dating, but there had always been some feelings between you two and with the formal approaching, Ant decided to act on it. Radical honestly or something. Who knows, apparently it was something Spider mentioned. Either way, it was a big grand gesture. A weird one, but a grand gesture nonetheless. SLT’s was the only class you and Ant shared together, so he decided that was the perfect time to ask you. In a sexual literacy class. Very fitting for Ant, somehow making something totally unromantic, romantic.

He had decided at the start of the class, before Jojo could announce what the subject would be, to stand on a table, rose in hand with a sign that said ‘formal’, scribbled on in messy handwriting, then gave a whole speech asking you to formal. You weren’t one for grand gestures, infact you hated being centre of attention, yet despite all this, you agreed.

Now you and Ant were gently swaying under the shining disco ball, a slow song playing in the background with other couples doing the same thing. Ant was staring at you as if you had hung the stars, something he’d done on multiple other occasions, you’d just never caught him.

With a small smile on your face, you gently asked him,

“What?”

I mean, you’d never seen him stare at you like this and you were a little confused. Without any hesitation, Ant replied,

“You’re the prettiest boy I’ve ever seen..”
