Prom
"How do Americans do this?" Neku pulled at his tie, as if it was suffocating him.
Shiki rolled her eyes at Neku's ignorance. "It's called 'formal-wear'."
"I know what a suit's for. I meant why would they have a dance before graduation? What's the point?"
"It's supposed to be fun."
Her school's cultural mix festival was supposed to be her chance to try ballroom dancing. But here they were, just sitting at a table.
She watched the other dancers wistfully.
Neku sighed, standing up and offering her his hand. "Would you like to dance, Shiki?"
Her smile lasted all night.
A/N: 'Puromu' - japanese pronunciation of 'prom' (2018 edit: I decided to just change it to prom cause pfft why). And Neku assumes it's solely an American thing to do because, at first I thought it was a solely American thing to do. -until I came to England-.
I'm Malaysian for anyone curious.
