You were crossing the grounds of Night Raven College towards the Hall of Mirrors, where you knew the one mirror you wanted waited for you to pass through. You stepped through it into the Octavinelle Dorm, heading to the Mostro Lounge. You walked quietly as it was night and no one was really supposed to be out of the dorms at this time, you only knew of one person who’d still be there cleaning up because his brother had most likely ditched him. Jade stood at the counter of the bar, wiping it down and putting away the clean dishes for the next business day. As you walked through, the door chimed with windy seashells overhead. He lifted his gaze and smiled lightly as you gently closed the door behind you.

“I’m so very sorry, but we are closed for the evening.” He said and you giggled. “Aww and here I thought a certain eel might be up for a drink with me.” He chuckled and pulled out two short glasses, making a favorite twisted drink of mango juice, pineapple juice and sprite. He sat your glass on a coaster, sliding it towards you as he took and sat his on a coaster in front of himself. “I can only imagine the trouble you’ll be in if Crowley catches you out of your dorm at this hour.” He smirks slightly and you smirk back at him. “Well, I wouldn’t have had to come if Floyd hadn’t ditched his duty leaving you to do all the clean up for the lounge…again.” Taking your glass, you take a sip of the mixed drink. “Oooh this is better this time. I think you might have actually perfected it finally.” He chuckles and drinks some of his as well nodding to your comment in approval. “I’m sorry about tonight…again. Floyd said he had something else come up.” He huffs a bit and you reach forward gently poking his nose. “Not your fault your brother is such a loose cannon.” You said and finished your drink. Jade smiled a bit, taking your glass and cleaning it before hand drying it with a towel and putting it away.

You watched him finish up and check list everything before moving on to a sheet for ordering food and drinks. You followed him, helping him count what they had so he could figure out what he needed to be able to give it to Azul in the morning for ordering. This wasn’t uncommon, you often found Jade and yourself doing this routine quite a lot since Floyd would often just disappear. You liked Jade, quite a lot in fact but you weren’t sure if he actually had the same feelings for you. The only reason you bothered to even come around Mostro Lounge in the first place was to see Jade. When Floyd didn’t disappear from his duties and Jade had free time you both often took a quick walk through the nearby woods or down the mountain a little. You loved hearing Jade talk about the different sort of mushrooms he might have found or other plants he seen that were interesting. To you, Jade was a different sort of man and you didn’t just think that because he was an mer-eel either. Jade had a distinction to him that could make you swoon or scare the living life out of you but regardless you found him attractive.

“I think that completes everything.” Your eyes blinked and you finally realized you had kinda spaced out. You looked over at Jade only to see him putting all the paperwork into a folder and turning down the lights over the bar and over the tables. “I guess I better head back. That way we don’t get into trouble.” You started for the door when music started to play in the lounge, stopping dead in your steps you look around only to find Jade who was only a few steps behind you. Your heart started thrumming in your chest. Jade stood, slightly bowed with his one hand extended. “Would you take to dancing with me? I can’t promise I’ll be extremely good at it though.” You looked at him to see a light dusting of pink spread over his cheeks and he looked at the floor quickly before looking back at you. Blushing yourself you say yes as you take his hand.

He pulls you closely and your head rests against his chest as a new song starts. You smile as you know the song way too well, it being an old favorite of yours. He holds your one hand in his as his other arm is wrapped around your waist. He slow dances with you gently, and you can feel him quiver here and there. “You’re doing just fine you know, you don’t need to be perfect Jade.” He chuckles and he leans his head against yours as you dance to the old song playing just loud enough for you both to hear. “Jade, I….” you trail off and bite your lip, wondering if you really should tell him how you feel. After all, Jade was a bit more refined when it came down to it and you didn’t want to ruin the friendship that you had with him. “If you’re going to tell me you have feelings for me deeper than a friend; I can say the feeling is mutual. I can’t ever get you out of my head.” You look up at him into his heterochromatic eyes and see the feelings you know he has a hard time putting into words. You blush and he puts his forehead against yours. The song is coming to it’s end and you both smile at one another.

“For I can’t help… falling in love with you.”

You both blush and giggle as you had both sang the last line of the song simultaneously and for the first time you lean into one another and kiss. You never thought his lips would be quite so soft and as you pull apart you look into his eyes, “I do really love you Jade, I have for quite a while.” He kisses your forehead, cheeks and nose making you blush and laugh. “I can say I love you as well y/n, ever since meeting you I felt a pull to you I couldn’t quite understand. I’m sorry it has taken this long to realize that I was falling in love with you.” You shake your head and lay your head against his chest. “You realized it, that’s all that matters now.” He leans his cheek against your head and you feel him lightly smile, both of you dancing to the songs playing through the lounge.

“About damn time.” Unbeknownst to you both, the audience of Floyd and Azul watched you both from the VIP room.

It was an old song, old as the breed itself - one of the first songs of the younger world in a day when songs were sad.

“Old Song” - Patrick Phillips

Praised be friends. Praise enemies. Praise the dark above.

Praise hangovers. Praise cigarettes. The vulture and the dove.

Praise all music. Praise the harp. And the amplifier's buzz.

Praise the days we'd live forever. And loneliness. And love.

Praise even death, or at least the dying, who taught us how to live.

Praise you, someday, reading this. Praise light. Praise the wind.

L is for the way you look at me O is for the only one I see V is very, very extraordinary E is even more than anyone that you adore can Love is all that I can give to you Love is more than just a game for two

Two in love can make it Take my heart and please don't break it Love was made for me and you (trumpet instrumental)

L is for the way you look at me O is for the only one I see V is very, very extraordinary E is even more than anyone that you adore can Love is all that I can give to you Love is more than just a game for two

“Ageing Gracelessly”

If the day is still young Why do I feel so old? If my time is now Why is it taking so long? And the days become nights And the nights turn bright Yet even bright lights go out Down into the dark The time I had I’ll never have again When I heard of the song The bird’s beckoning call I dreamed of the day I’d find my way as before Should I lose hope How will I win? Against all odds I guess I’ll just begin And the days become nights And the nights turn bright Yet even bright lights go out Down into the dark The time I had I’ll never have again All my friends are old That happened so fast Only a shadow in the mirror now A man with a mask Ageing gracelessly All over again Another day to throw Away in the end So if the clouds don’t go Then I’ll stay cold They say it’s all your mind You’ll find the sun or you don’t Remind me when I’m wild eyed Impatient and full of scorn Yelling that if it was done right There’d be no waiting at all And the days become nights And the nights turn bright Yet even bright lights go out Down into the dark The time I had I’ll never have again All my friends are old Or have disappeared As a shadow on the wall now As a dog in his den Ageing gracelessly All over again Another day to throw Away in the end Ageing gracelessly All over again Another day to throw Away in the end The time I had I’ll never have again.
