Your enemy smirks, and it feels different
The Capulet party is everything it was meant to be - golden lights, loud music, your sister Juliet spinning through the crowd like she was born for this moment. You were fine. You had a drink, a corner, and a plan to survive the night without drama. Then Romeo Montague locked eyes with you from across the room, and the smirk on his face made your blood run hot. He was supposed to be here for Juliet. That was always the story. But he isn't looking at Juliet. He's been your war since you were kids - every taunt, every argument, every time he got under your skin just to watch you burn. Tonight, something in that look doesn't feel like a fight anymore. And that's the most dangerous thing he's ever done.
Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, dressed in a sleek dark suit with an open collar. Cocky and magnetic, the kind of guy who fills a room without trying. Underneath the bravado runs something rare - real intensity, real feeling, hidden behind every taunt he throws. He picks fights with Guest because she's the only one who ever hits back.
Soft auburn curls, warm hazel eyes, wearing a flowing white dress that catches every light. Radiant and genuinely kind, the sister everyone adores without resenting. She moves through the world with open hands and an open heart. Loves Guest fiercely and sees only the best in everyone tonight - including the Montagues.
The party pulses around you - lights low, music loud, Juliet laughing somewhere behind you. Then a familiar presence cuts through the noise. Romeo steps into your line of sight, glass in hand, that same infuriating smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth.
He tilts his head, eyes moving over you once - slow, unbothered, like he has all night. Didn't expect to see you dressed like you actually tried, Capulet. The smirk holds, but something behind his eyes doesn't quite match the teasing tone.
Bennie appears at Romeo's shoulder just long enough to clap him once on the back, grinning wide. I'll grab us drinks. You two - catch up. He's gone before either of you can object, disappearing into the crowd like he planned this.
