Ze next update! I considered to make this a two shot but I wasn't bothered to in the end XP
Disclaimer: I only own the plot lines.
Just a quick briefing: Queen Clarion is holding a dance and Tinkerbell is now finishing up the decorations for tonight.
Tinkerbell exhaled loudly, using her cleaner hand to wipe sweat off her forehead. dust and what seemed to be sticky black substance coated most of her dress and body, yet unlike Rosetta, she didn't mind it at all.
A clear voice called her name, her expression brightening up vividly.
"Terence!" She greeted her fellow dust keeper, both hands hidden behind her back, after all, who would want to see such dirty hands at a time like this.
"Hey Tink!" He smiled crookedly back at her, somehow matching her own. It sure was nice to see a smile like that from time to time, especially if it was on Tinkerbell's.
"So uhh, the dance is tonight, well actually, you already know that..." He got quieter as he started to mumble, Tinkerbell not bothered by this and hung on to every word he said. The back of Terence's neck slowly got warmer and warmer as he started to stutter a little more, eventually his words not even comprehensible.
"Terence, what are you trying to say?" Her eyes widening as she tipped her head gently to one side.
Goddamn she is adorable.
"Umm, I was going to ask if -"
"TERENCE! We have another delivery! NOW!" Fairy Gary called from a distance. Terence was thoroughly confused and stared back at his overseer, given a look of pure concentration back. He opened his mouth to protest, only to be interrupted by Tinkerbell.
"Go work Terence, I need to finish up here as well. I'll see you around."
She spun around and left him on that note, Terence gazing back at her decreasing figure.
He walked away, mumbling "calm down, we'll see each other in the afternoon." which seemed to brighten him up just a bit.
Nonetheless, he did come over to visit later in the afternoon, only to see her even more coated with dirt that she was earlier.
When his eyes did lay on her, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he went around and rubbed off a piece of dirt from her face. He left his hand there but he noticed that a thin layer of dust hid the normal shade of pink her face was.
Luckily for Tinkerbell, she was grateful for the dust, her face just as bright red when she was angry or throwing a tantrum.
"Hey Tink."
"Hey."
A pause.
"Did you want to ask something Terence?"
"Go to the dance with me?"
6 words. That was all it took to get the tinker to jump up and down squealing with joy. She was too happy to answer him immediately but she hugged him tightly so he took that as a yes.
"Pick you up at 7?"
"Sure."
"Did it work?"
Fairy Gary was anxious as Terence flew back into the dust depot. After all, he did call him over purposely, give him tips on how to ask her out and planned the perfect timing for him to approach her. If he didn't do so, Terence would be a blubbering idiot disappointing all sparrowmen alike.
"Yeah. It went great." His face easing into his signature crooked smile.
"Well, go get a suit then! You have to look good for her you know!"
Terence paled. He had completely forgotten about the dressing up part. To make matters worse, it had to be completely formal.
Rushing out of the room, Fairy Gary managed to call out a supporting phrase.
"Go get em'!"
"Rosetta! Rosetta! You won't believe what happened!" Tinkerbell squealed as she barged into her friend, some of the dust landing on her dress.
"What dear? Terence asking you out to the dance?"
"Yes Terence asked me... Wait, how did you know?"
"Sled saw him at the tailors just now. I thought he was lying! But congrats!" Rosetta added a excited squeal and the two of them went dress hunting for tonight.
When they did come back though, Tinkerbell was exhausted and had to applaud Rosetta for being able to do this for a few hours straight.
Terence smoothed out his newly bought leaf suit. Opting for a black number, he wore a jet black leaf suit while he bore a grey undershirt and matched his tie with the colour of his sandy hair.
He looked at himself in the mirror. Honestly he couldn't recognize himself. Readying his corset to give to Tinkerbell, he walked out, feeling slightly awkward under the stares of some of the fairies.
He knocked gently on Tinkerbell's house, only to have his breath knocked out of himself when she opened the door. As if by magic, the twilight sunlight hit her at an angle that really brought out her dress; A beautiful green number that was a darker shade of green on top, a lighter green sash in the middle, and a slit down in the middle that made the dress trail lightly behind her, light green feathers embroidered on the bottom.
"Tinkerbell... Wow."
"You look amazing yourself Terence."
Attaching the corsage to each other, Terence held out his hand to her, in which she held onto, yet another smile widening on her face.
"Fairies of Pixie Hollow! Thank you for attending tonight's dance!" Queen Clarion paused to let the cheering end first. "Unfortunately this is the last dance so I suggest everyone on the dance floor!"
The orchestra started to play a slow waltz song, every pair making it way to slowly join the growing amount of slow dancers.
Tinkerbell and Terence were currently talking with their friends, a drink in each of the hands as they all laughed.
"Tinkerbell?"
She turned around to face him.
"Join me for the last dance?"
"Of course."
He led her out to the middle, her hands immediately going to his shoulders.
"May I?" he gestured to her waist with his hands, in which she smiled and nodded.
The two eased into a simple dance, each of them holding the other closer until their faces were nearly pressed together. The song slowly came to and end, the orchestra giving a dramatic ending.
Fireworks flew into the sky at this point, everyone 'ooh'ing and 'ahh'ing as they lit up the night sky.
The two of them didn't let go, instead they got closer and closer...
until they met in the middle.
