Hournite Royalty AU (+ drabbles)
“Remember, Rick. You only have until midnight. Once the hourglass runs out-”
“I know, I know. I’ll be back to normal again.” He placed the hourglass in his front pocket. “Thanks for the help, Mike. I really appreciate it.”
“No problem, my man. After all, what are fairy godbrothers for?”
Rick was about to turn and head toward the carriage that Mike lovingly called ‘Stripe’ (which was weird, because there wasn’t any stripe pattern to be found), before his fairy godbrother called out, “Oh, and that’s Magic Mike to you!”

“Cool hourglass.”
He jumped. He wasn’t expecting to talk to anyone tonight. “Uhh… thanks.” His eyes scanned the stunning girl in front of him as his brain struggled to come up with something. What did people say when they meet someone for the first time?
“Catching some air too?” she gestured at the cool night air. “It can get kinda stuffy inside, huh?”
“Uh… yea.”
She took the spot next to him. “I didn’t expect tonight to be so… overwhelming.”
He nodded. The gold tapestry, the fancy champagne, and the tiny food that you can never get satisfied from… it all screamed of money. Something he and his uncle didn’t have. That didn’t stop his uncle from inviting himself to this swanky party and trying to land himself some wealthy heiress, though.
But from the dirty looks that the ladies (including the waitresses) have been sending his uncle, it would take a lot more than a fancy new suit (that he likely bought with the money his parents left for him) to turn that frog into a prince. Some ladies were even gossiping about how his uncle tried to accost the princess earlier that evening. The thought of his uncle trying to seduce a girl young enough to be his daughter sent a shiver down his spine.
“My parents thought it’d be a great idea. They keep pushing me to make new friends, now that they’re too busy with work and all to hang out with me. But I don’t quite fit in with the crowd out there. I never know what to do or what to say-”
“You’re doing fine,” he tried to reassure her, then realised it was kinda rude to interrupt her. “Oh, I’m sorry. Uh… you were saying?”
Her big round eyes narrowed. And narrowed further. Was she mad at him because he interrupted her?
“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt-”
He then noticed that she was leaning in, and her eyes didn’t look mad. They looked… bewildered.
“Wait, are you short-sighted or something?”
She jumped at the observation and put some distance between them. “Oh, haha…” she blushed. “You caught me.”
He couldn’t help but chuckle.
“I just-” she sighed. “You see… I had this idea to notwear my glasses tonight, 'cause it didn’t match with my dress. But right now, it doesn’t seem as smart as I originally thought.”
“I see…”
“Yea, my eyesight is really bad, so I gotta squint really hard to see clearly, but even then, it’s not perfect. Ahh… curse it. I really wanted to see you-”
As if realising what she was about to say, she cut herself off promptly and took a step back. Just then, the sound of several musicians tuning their instruments came from the ballroom.
“Oh! They’re preparing to play the next waltz. I must head back before my parents wonder where I went.”
Just as she turned to leave, she felt a tug on her sleeve.
“Don’t go,” he said, his voice cracking. He cleared his throat. “I mean, not before we have a dance.”
She couldn’t see his face, but the sincerity in his voice sent warmth through her body.
Her lips tilted up in a sweet smile. “I’d love to.”
