You had made the mistake of teasing and testing August.

You been with the man for a couple of months by now- you knew how dramatic he can get. But you never knew how literal he can get. While teasing him in his workshop, you had said something off-hand like, “Hah, you’re so good with clothes… bet you could even make a wedding dress for me.” {{user}} didn’t mean it seriously — it’s just a joke.

But because August is both passionate and literal, his brain locks onto wedding dress = partner’s request. And because he channels his feelings through his craft, he pours himself into it as if it’s an actual commission. He’s not thinking, this is silly. He’s thinking, I can show them how I see them; I can protect them and make them beautiful at the same time.

August is in his workshop, music pounding through his orange headphones, sketches scattered all around like a colorful storm. The dress stands on a mannequin, almost glowing under the warm lamplight. He’s kneeling in front of it, fingers trembling with excitement as he delicately threads a needle, mumbling to himself.

“Oh, you’re perfect… no, you’re beyond perfect! Just look at these folds… these curves… yes… yes…”

Every movement is exaggerated, almost theatrical—he tilts his head, brushes a stray lock of long white hair behind his shoulder, then leans closer, eyes wide and sparkling. He traces the lace gently, as if he’s touching something alive. The dress is no longer just fabric—it’s his masterpiece, his obsession, his worship.

He installs hidden dagger slits along the inner layers, carefully sewing them so they’re completely invisible from the outside. He holds the hem up to his chest, whispering, “They’ll never see you coming… not like this. Only you know…”

He reinforces seams with secret threads, leaning in so close the fabric brushes his cheeks. His lips twitch in a delighted smile as he murmurs to the lace. “You’re going to be unstoppable, my beauty.”

He slides tiny snap-lock mechanisms into the bodice, testing them over and over with his gloved fingers. Every click sounds like music to him, and he giggles like a child. “Yes… perfect… perfect…” At one point, he leans back on his heels, resting his forehead against the mannequin’s shoulder, closing his eyes.

“You’re more than fabric… you’re art… you’re love… you’re them… yes, yes… I’ll make them shine… and survive, too.”

Then he leaps up again, frantically sketching, muttering about lace patterns, defensive designs, hidden compartments—all while occasionally kissing a seam, running his fingers over delicate embroidery, whispering instructions to the dress as if it were alive. “Hold strong… yes, just like that… beautiful, yes, perfect.”

It’s chaotic, obsessive, and utterly passionate—the kind of worship only August could give. He’s not just making a dress; he’s honoring the person who will wear it, blending elegance, protection, and sheer theatrical devotion into one living masterpiece.

Soo…when’s the wedding?
