Arabian dessert heat love: Mubarak
Yuki : ( but i heard its not even that big a party!)
The party to which Mubarak has invited me. I am speechless as soon as i set foot into the venue, As i look up to the ceiling, i see a vast chandelier. As i look down, i see marble and bright red rugs. Gorgeously dressed up ladies are coming and going
Mubarak : "There are ladies here making very curious faces"
Yuki : "curious face?!"
Mubarak : "yes, well, as ever"
Yuki : "nobody is making a curios face!"
Mubarak : "are they not? oh well. but you are surprised, are you not, Yuki?"
Mubarak brings his face close to mine as he says that
Yuki : (he's certainly gotten that right. he must've been looking forward to seeing my reaction..)
Question
say you are surprised
say you are not surprised
dont say anything
Yuki : "i'm not all that surprised"
Mubarak : "dont lie"
Mubarak pulls me close to him by the hip
Mubarak : "look, your face is all red. evidence that you are excited"
Yuki : "t-thats because you've suddenly hugged me!" (seriously, this guy,...)
??? : "ah! if that isn't Yuki!
i suddenly hear a familiar voice, As i turn around, i see Mubarak
Kamil : "yuki has come, too! Together with you, big brother"
Kamil smiles at me meaningfully
Mubarak : "do you have anything to say to me?"
Kamil : "oh no, i was just thinking of how special Yuki, of course"
Mubarak : "naturally, she is the maiden of the jewel, after all"
Kamil : "i wonder if it's just that!"
Mubarak : "what do you mean?"
Kamil : "oh, you're cleverer than i am, brother. work it out for yourself"
Mubarak : "..."
Kamil : "well, i should go and say hello to people"
Kamil turns and leaves.
Mubarak : ".."
Yuki : "Mubarak? what is it?"
Mubarak : "nothing. do not worry. look, Yuki. in a place like this, it is good manners to be holding a glass"
Mubarak takes a glass froma waiter and hands it to me
Yuki : "t-thanks"
Mubarak : "can you drink alcohol?"
Yuki : "just a little"
Mubarak : "good. i will be annoyed if you get drunk"
Yuki : "its not the right place to give oneself liquid courage now, is it?"
Mubarak : "are you nervous?"
Yuki : "i am! i've never been to a big party like this and beyond that, you'll get annoyed with me if i do something wrong!"
Mubarak : "my esteem for you will not change enough to think you bad company. would you like to dance?"
Yuki : "huh?"
Mubarak : "just idly standing around will get a little boring, will it not?"
Yuki : "but i dont know if i can dance.."
Mubarak : "it will be fun for me to watch you trying to imitate a dance you do not know"
Yuki : (he's such an..)
Yuki : (what!? how..i almost disappointed that he's stopped..) i'm starting to feel like i'm a princess in a fairytale!er, uh, what do i.."
In that moment, Mubarak takes my hand, and as if in an embrace, brings his lips close to my ear
Mubarak : "yuki, the appropriate response in a situation like this is, ''with pleasure'' "
Yuki : "ah, er, uh-huh"
Mubarak : "no, not ''uh-huh'' "
Mubarak lets his fingertips run along my neck, whispering
Mubarak : " 'yes, with pleasure', say it"
yuki : "y-yes, with pleasure" ( as he whispers into my ear. its tickles, and i feel somehow embarrassed)
Mubarak takes my hand and sets out to dance
Mubarak : "yuki, keep your hand here. and match my moves"
I lay my hand on Mubaraks shoulder for him to guide me. I honestly dont really udnerstand the step. but thanks to mubaraks lead, we manage somehow
Mubarak : "you are better than i thought"
Yuki : (so this i what he meant when he said he'd teach me to be a lady..i see)
As i get used to the dance, my feet start to move naturally, on their own
Yuki : (my body is so light!)
it doesnt even feel like my own body anymore but its fun! so much that i just want to keep dancing as the music ends
Mubarak : "that was very good for your first time"
Yuki : "really?"
Mubarak : "yes and i assume you feel less nervous now?"
Yuki : "yes!"
Mubarak : "whoever you decide to dance with, the future is going to be fun"
Yuki : (mubarak really is indifferent to becoming king. but if he is, then his wanting to marry me is..
oh, where is my mind drifting?) "hey mubarak, lets dance once more--"
??? : "bro! Yuki!"
Yuki : (this carefree voice...)
i turn over and as expected i see radwan
radwan : "you're here with Mubarak?how are you enjoying the party?"
Yuki : "nice!"
Mubarak : "heh, what?i thought you were so nervous"
Yuki : "y-yes, but.."
Radwan : "you guys seem to be getting on really well!bit unexpected, considering my bro"
Yuki : "huh?"
Radwan : "nevermind! well, i've got stuff to do, see you around!"
radwan shakes my hand childishly, then disappears in the crowd
Mubarak : "i am going to leave for a bit too. i have to speak to somebody who has just arrived.
kill some time"
Yuki : "okay"
Mubarak : "but do be quiet and nice. gentle and neat befitting a yamato nadeshiko. also, do not go near
Kamil and Radwan while i am gone"
Yuki : "what? why?"
Mubarak : "the reason does not matter. you just do as i say. if you disobey me..i will take you back to the
harem and punish you extensively"
Yuki : "o-okay, i get it. see you later"
My gaze follows Mubarak, who is disappearing into the crowd. i dont know anyone here, so maybe i should just quitely stay here for the time being
Yuki : (he told me not to be noisy, but he hasnt say anything about not eating. there's so much food here
and it all looks delicious! maybe i can have a bite..) "Ah!"
i wasnt looking ahead and accidentally bumped into someone's shoulder!
Yuki : "ah, i'm sorry! are you all right?"
??? : "yes, i'm fine. oh!
A beautiful woman with a gorgeous dress! the person look at me intently, then widens her eyes in surprise
??? : "you must be Yuki, correct?"
Yuki : "huh?"
?? : "hah, you are, aren't you?"
Yuki : (who is she..?she is really pretty, but something about the way she looks at me makes me
