YOU WEREN’T SURE IF YOU SHOULD put a bid on anyone at the bachelor auction at the 118. you had helped set it up along may, so your attendance felt obligatory.

maybe, you could bid on harry, in case he doesn’t have a huge audience from the other girls and ladies in attendance. at least you’d know that you’d have some fun afterwards. but then, athena outbid you—and everyone else who tried bidding on her son.

then came ravi, doing his catwalk on the stage. no one was placing bids, so… you raised the board with your number, just to get the things going. you looked around, scanning the people bidding on ravi and you couldn’t help but bid on him again, and again, and again… until there was no one else to bid against.

may was laughing at your side, seeing the slightly sheepish expression on your face when you realized that you… kind of bought yourself a date with ravi.

“so… seven thousands, huh?” ravi chuckled, when he found you after the auction was over.
