Winter, Star of Cold, Snowy Nights and Flashy Decorations. A Ball is in Order. (w/ tsundereroute)
The Winter Ball... there was no livelier an event all year round. Everyone had a date, and Sayori was no exception - though it took everything she could muster to ask Natsuki out to it.
Everything was perfect at the event - all the decorations, the mistletoe spread out in various places, and everyone all dressed up in their very best. Sayori came wearing a dress as peach as her hair, long enough to almost touch the ground. Her hair, done up by a friend who insisted, shined in the light and was missing the usual red bow. She almost looked like a completely different person. But despite the differences on the outside, the inside still housed the insecure and anxious girl that Sayori was.
There was a lot of buildup to this; it took every ounce of courage for her to get this far at all. Her mind screamed at her to just leave Natsuki alone, to not try and push their relationship any further than friendship. She wasn't worth it, she wasn't worth it, Natsuki deserved so much better than her--
But she forced those thoughts away. She had to. She couldn't ruin this night. Even if nothing happened, she just wanted to have a fun time. That was all. She could at least have that... right? And help Natsuki have fun too?
All she could do was wait for the other to arrive, now, doing her absolute best to keep herself from visibly shaking with anxiety.

MONTHS LATER WITH STARBUCKS
She didn't do anything particularly special with her hair, besides leaving it down for a change. It took a while, but she managed to save enough money for her dress and found a pair of pink heels to go with the dress. She'd never worn something like this before. Something this pretty. It was definitely a change and while part of her wondered how people wore heels like these all of the time, she felt like a princess for the first time in her life.
Sure she'd read stories about princesses and there were plenty of manga about them, but she'd never thought she'd be able to enjoy something like this herself. So after shaking out her nerves, she finally arrived, spotting Sayori off to the side. With so many people here, she hastefully made her way to her date. Maybe something like this was new for both of them, but she couldn't help but think of how pretty Sayori looked in her dress.
"U-uhm... Sorry I'm late," how do start conversations without flushing. Who knows?
