The reason was for social prestige.
Crowns of Ice
BlaiseDaphne
she is captivating
the definition
of seduction
.
he is charming
a deceptive mask
of honesty
.
he loves her
in his own way
brief kisses
&& stiffly held hands
.
she loves him too
how could she not?
(but her love is ice-cold respect)
.
they are together by choice
after all, they are the perfect match
Slytherin Princess
and
Pureblood Prince
{and where does love factor into perfection?}
.
she's an ice q u e e n, baby
she doesn't care that there are so many of those
that it's almost cliché
but Daphne isn't one to conform to cliché
she gives a new definition to ruthless
.
he might be just her consort
a pretty porcelain accessory that hangs on her arm
but oh, honey, is he sneaky
maybe that's why he's (l o v e d) and (feared) in turns
.
alone
(just her, just him)
they are influential
.
together
(her and him and them)
they are unstoppable
.
but wait -
if they are Slytherin Princess
and pureblood prince
-king and q u e e n of ice-
doesn't that make them royalty?
{everyone prepare to shower them in g l o r y}
.
&& maybe others will find true love
fairytale endings
but they are c o n t e n t
with their social prestige
{money doesn't buy happiness?
sure, honey, you keep telling yourself that}
.
riches and status
will replace their happy yet-to-be's
but why should it?
They are Blaise and Daphne
and nothing is impossible for them
.
she is prettypretty eyes
alluring smiles
and laughter that never quite reaches her eyes
.
he is subtle cunning
sly curiosity
and the kind of sincerity that should be hard to fake
.
and together they are f l a w l e s s
'cause baby, royalty can never be less than perfection
.
so maybe they don't have fire-spark kisses
or lingering touches
but an ice-cold crown apiece
can fill that g a p i n g hole in their hearts
.
Right?
Please read and review, thanks!
