You fidgeted restlessly with your skirts as you stared at the door. It had been several minutes since he had called out "Just a second!" From his studio window. In all likelihood, he had forgotten that he even asked you out to dinner that night, maybe he had been right in the middle of the next chapter when you showed up on his doorstep. And now he was probably scrambling to get ready. However, as soon as the door swung open, your thoughts completely turned on their head.

He was so handsome, so stunning, as stepped out in front of you. He wore a dark blue tailcoat, lined with a glittering gold. His bow tie and headband were gold as well, and, as ridiculous as the outfit looked altogether, god he looked good. He skirted to the side to usher you in, and you noticed his slightly flustered expression (not that your own face wasn't red at the sheer sight of him).

"G-good evening Rohan." You tiptoed inside, quickly pressing a kiss to his cheek before he shut the door behind you. He gasped as he turned to face you, his fingers absentmindedly pressed against the spot your lips had brushed against. His mouth hung open for just a second before he hastened to smooth down his suit and clear his throat.

"No need for such formalities." He tugged at his sleeve nervously, inspecting his golden pen nib cufflinks. You felt extremely underdressed for the occasion, but little did you know the surprises he had in store for you that evening. "If you don't mind, umm," His cheeks flushed an even darker red, if possible. It wasn't like him to get this worked up over something so trivial, but then again, it wasn't trivial to him. And it wasn't trivial to you either. But something was just so adorable about his unusual nervousness. "I have a gift that you might like to wear tonight,"

Your heart leapt in your chest. This was what you loved about him: he was so devoted, so passionate. As soon as he set his mind to something he would complete it without fail to the best of his abilities. And his abilities were remarkable.

You nodded shyly, not really knowing what else to say.

His face suddenly lit up at your affirmation, and he led you through the house, up to his bedroom. Of course, you had been in that bedroom several times before, but your pulse still raced at the implications of him inviting your into his room... it was so intimate a gesture. But of course he paid no mind to things like that as he opened the closet.

You gasped as he pulled out a long garment bag. His nimble fingers pulled down the zipper to reveal the most beautiful thing you had ever seen in your life:

The gown glittered in the warm rays of sun piercing through the window. Its skirts sparkled in golds and silvers, and the bust was adorned with several small white crystals. You noticed it matched Rohan's suit almost perfectly. You held your hand to your mouth in shock; you felt like you might actually cry.

"It's so beautiful," he held it out to you with a smug grin.

"Of course it is, I designed it." Thoughts raced through your mind: did he design it... just for you? He couldn't have. But then, would it even fit– when did he even have to time to design and commission and... How long had this been sitting in his closet with a perfect suit to match it?

But all you could utter was a small:

"Rohan..."

He seemed to be taking quite some pride in your amazement as he thrust it into your hands.

"Put it on!"

You had somehow zipped up the back on your own, and you carefully adorned the earrings he had provided for you. The necklace, however, would be hard to fasten.

He gasped as you opened the door to reveal yourself. His gaze ran up and down your body as his fingers twitched.

"It looks," he fumbled through his pocket desperately, drawing out a pen and a small sketch pad. "It's remarkable," his fingers trembled as his ink flew furiously over the paper.
