Chapter Text
Today was the night, the event that Majin was putting together for literal months. He put on his best suit that he had on at the moment, given how a majority of the clothing he owned was either off in the wash or he felt wasn't proper given the event-
he slumped down onto his seat in front of a vanity, staring at the mirror with a look that could only be described as uncharacteristic for the king of the madzins. Why was he so upset? Everything is fine right now, maybe its just the stress of hosting such a major event?
His swarm of thoughts was quickly interrupted by the sound of knocking at his doorframe and the sight of a familiar silhouette reflecting from the mirror. He quickly turned to face his X, his partner, who for once in his life was pretty cleaned up, Majin going back to his seemingly permanent smile by reflex.
"Lordy! ah, you look great darling!" Majin spoke first, patting the cushioned seat he was just on, making his way to X.
"Maj, c'mon, dont give me that, you look like a wreck, do you need me to call things off so you can get a break?" The heavier hedgehog replied, a bit of concern couldn't have been more clear.
"Ah- No, No, everything is going to be fine- plus- too many people are putting so much effort to come visit for us to simply cancel plans! I'll be fine, really" Majin sputtered out, clearly on edge.
X's expression softened from being skeptical to being more-so cautious. "Look.. I know your stressed, but try to take things slow, okay? I don't want you to put so much on your shoulders." he replied, gently holding one of Majin's gloved hands into his own, their wedding rings clicking together for a moment before clasping his hand, rubbing the back of Majin's palm with his thumb.
Majin stares down at his partner's hands, his expression softening, revealing the truthfully tired person underneath. "..I suppose you're right, I just want everything to be perfect."
"I know you do, Maj."
Majin stared at the floor before being met with a comforting hug from his husband, melting into X's chest fur.
"You know, I'd be more than willing to help you out a bit" X said just above a whisper. "Plus, im sure the kid would love to help his pops prepare everything before seeing all his friends and family.. and if necessary, The guardians can be put to work too."
"You really think so? heh, I guess I cant say no to help, I need all that I can get." Majin joked.
"Then it'll be done, I'll go tell Sunky to get his suit on, and I'll get Yokubo and the others to get down here. We'll see you downstairs,"
"thank you, X."
"Of course, and.. don't forget, I love you" X replied, grinning before heading out to the downstairs area of Majin and his home realm.
In the meantime Majin decided to try to clean himself up a bit, brushing loose hairs back and adjusting his mustache.
