Closed For the First Time

[Zerrin Fergusson]

Zerrin was excited for his first event- he'd been an idiot and missed the Halloween celebration completely- and he'd invited Silas to come with him. Zerrin was bouncing in front of the doors as he waited, fidgeting with his tie. His parents had made sure to get him something nice to wear in case he decided to come to the ball, and he was grateful that they had. He hummed happily, making up his own tune as he waited for his friend to show up.

 

[Silas Gideon Secunda]

Silas had gone back to fiddle with his stupid bowtie a few times and as a result, was running quite late for the time he told his friend they'd meet. He scowled at himself in the mirror--wearing the black pants and blazer his mother had packed with a crisp white collared shirt and a deep blue bowtie, he didn't quite look like himself. But maybe that was the point?

He hurried out of the dorm and hurried through the castle. He stumbled into Zerrin, quite literally, at the doors and blushed. "There was traffic," he joked. That's what his dad always said when he was late.

Zerrin smiled as Silas fell into him, laughing lightly and helping the other boy to his feet. "I hate it when that happens," He teased lightly. "Why don't we go see if we can score up some good snacks?" Zerrin asked cheerfully. "We can make up for all the boredom you get stuck in traffic," He teased Silas a bit.
