Just waltz and waltz, nothing can hurt you if you just keep dancing. A dagger hidden underneath his dress. An uncomfortable feeling, the blade slightly piercing his porcelain skin, he winced as slight dark red blood ran down his legs, no one could see it though, they were all too busy either being scared or shocked from the sudden ambush by Xornoth and the others. People were hiding under tables or either surrounding the prince and Xornoth’s ‘pathetic’ sidekick. They were waltzing, ignoring everything around them, they gave each other attacks and such by weapons or by combat.
Scott couldn’t take it anymore, tiny cuts covered his beautiful porcelain skin. He never wanted to do this, his stupid brother somehow dragged him to dressing as a girl to take the prince to bed and then kill him, though nothing worked. He didn’t take the prince to bed nor did he kill the prince. Xornoth didn’t even give him enough time to even talk to the prince, they danced, no communication, the prince suddenly had just grabbed Scott’s hand and they started to dance, and then after a while Xornoth attacked, and that didn’t give Scott enough time to even grab his dagger.
“You look good in that dress, Scott.” The prince of the kingdom of Virtues said with a smirk as he tried to jab Scott in the stomach while twirling him around. Shock filled the other boy, how the hell did this blond himbo know it was Scott? God, he was even wearing a stupid ash-blond wig. The ballroom was destroyed, blood splattered on rocks and debris. Xornoth and his stupid crew were no where to be seen, leaving Scott to deal with the prince by himself. The shock soonly faded away and an uncomfortable smile rested on Scott’s face
“I have no idea what you're talking about. I don’t know who Scott is though thank you for the compliment Prince James.” Scott said, cringing from how unbelievable he sounds through his words. He knew that wasn’t going to work on the prince but the longer he drew out this interaction, it would give enough time for Xornoth and his villain crew to capture the prince’s sister, princess Elizabeth.
“You can’t fool me, you know that, Scott. Also why call me that awful name?” Jimmy glared at the boy when he mentioned his first name, it was honestly infuriating to Jimmy to be called his first name, it brought awful and horrible memories.
“Okayy, you got me Jimmy and also I was just playing the part that’s why I called you by your first name.” Scott defended himself as Jimmy dipped him and then twirling him around again. Scott took off his ash-blond wig that matched his white and red dress and threw it on the ground, revealing his light messy blue hair. While taking off his wig, Scott swiftly took the dagger from underneath the dress and quickly slid it into the sleeve of his sweater and returned his hand on Jimmy’s shoulder.
“Why are you even here? I thought you said you would stop being a problem towards the royal family.” Jimmy said, a flash of hurt was shown in Scott’s eyes though it was only for a minute or two. He was hurt that Jimmy would call him a problem. It shouldn’t hurt, he was already over Jimmy. They broke up years ago. Scott shooed the thought away and regained everything that was going in his mind and acted with confidence.
“I’m here because Xornoth and I made a deal.” Scott said with a slight smirk though he internally sighed, he knew Jimmy would start asking questions and wouldn’t stop until he got an answer to his liking.
“What kind of deal?” Jimmy asked, hidden concern tracing his words. Jimmy would be lying, if he said he didn’t care about the cyan haired boy that he was waltzing with. He still hasn’t gotten over the beautiful boy even after years. In all honesty ever since they broke up Scott would be a problem towards the royal family and the only way to stop him was to let Scott’s chaotic brother out of prison and then Scott would promise he would stop being such a problem to the royal family and after that they never saw each other until now. And Jimmy never stopped thinking about the boy.
Scott bit the inside of his mouth out of frustration and diverted his eyes. He didn’t want to let the blonde prince know that the only reason he agreed to even do this for Xornoth was because he wanted to see Jimmy one more time before he would move out of the kingdom and adventure out. It seemed like the two boys forgot about trying to kill each other as an awkward silence laid in the air, the blond boy waiting for an answer as the other boy tried to make an answer for the prince’s question. Though luck was on Scott’s side as he noticed his older brother on the staircase with a gun in hand.
A quick dart coated with some kind of liquid came shooting towards the back of Jimmy’s neck, making him freeze, his eyes widened in shock, he couldn’t move, his eye lids were slowly falling, his consciousness fading away every minute till it was gone. His unconscious body fell towards Scott. His head rested on Scott’s chest as Scott sighs and checks Jimmy’s pulse, for a second it was gone then it wasn’t, the pulse was weak and threatening to go away any minute or second.
Scott was tired, he sat on the bloody ground that he had been dancing on, and leaned his body on a piece of debris, Jimmy’s head rested on Scott, his body barely moving. Scott looked at the moon numbly, what had he just done? The love of his life, no, he now moved on from Jimmy, he doesn’t love Jimmy anymore though he had risked the prince to the verge of dying. They both had bruises and cuts on their body from either them hurting and hitting each other or from tiny rocks falling on them while they danced.
Xornoth and his stupid crew came rushing down the stairs in victory, Joey was carrying Elizabeth with a smirk and Sausage, well he was just being Sausage. Xornoth stood in front of Scott with a smirk that yelled evil and mischief. The same gun he used on Jimmy was on his left hand.
“You did good, little brother.” Xornoth praised with a sickening tune though it was something Scott was proud of, he had received a compliment from his older brother. The same older brother that showed hatred towards him, the same older brother that neglected him even when their parents were still alive.
“...Thank you.” Scott showed a small smile, what do they do now? What is Scott going to do now?
“We're going back to the hide-out with Princess Elizabeth, you do whatever you want though you leave the Prince here, you don’t get to help him or take him anywhere and if you do then… something bad will happen.” Xornoth threatened with a glare that made Scott sigh.
Scott nodded in acknowledgement and took Jimmy off of his chest and placed him on the ground. He stood up from his sitting position and dusted off dust from his dress. Scott took the dart that was shot on Jimmy’s neck and kept it. He checked if his dagger fell out of his sleeve and he gave out a sigh of relief that it didn’t.
Scott started to walk away but stopped when Xornoth spoke again, “If you're wondering, your old boytoy isn’t going to die, the dart has some sort of sleeping and paralyzing liquid that I got from someone.” Xornoth said while high fiving Sausage in victory, Scott left not even peeping a word to Xornoth.
Jimmy left Scott first then came back then left again. Scott came back to see him one more time before he left for good.
A few years later
The kingdom of Virtues was now ruled by Xornoth, Jimmy and Princess Elizabeth disappeared after Xornoth took the throne. No one knows where they are except for maybe a certain cyan haired boy that travels around with a circus.
