WRITING OBSTACLE
Create a scene where your protagonist is anticipating a significant event, but there are multiple delays.
Use these delays to practice building suspense and anticipation for the reader.
Meeting The Father Be Like:
Part two too: When perfection visits ( May not fit prompt )
Lelo smiled anxiously as he sat down, soft emerald draperies almost touching the ground as he did. The man was in his finest dress- of which he may have just bought for this occasion; which consisted of beautiful buttons of pearl, complementing his complexion. The design was simple enough, theme best fitting a tranquil morning in the forest, sunlight represented by the gold leaf plastered on his chest. His gaze left his lap, turning to the man sitting beside him. His precious Fiancé, Prince Alexander of Coloria. Alex’s golden eyes stayed on his, causing a sheepish smile to blossom on the much smaller man’s face. A light cough drew the prince’s attention to the front of the table. Right.. the meeting of the parents- well- parent. Colorians have such an informal way of doing things- which makes things easier for the Marici prince- yet still, it was odd. The king himself, Aldrick Von Ashtier of Coloria, called them both to attention ( Not in the military sense- ) .
“ Lelo of Marici, how do you fare on this night? “ Aldrick spoke- Unbeknownst to the two boys, he too was nervous- after all, he was a sucker for a good romance story, and he is quite excited to see his son have the same sort of preference for men. Not just that, but he wished to be the fun father in law, not the grumpy one! He must make sure they both know of his support for them!!
“ I.. Fare well “ Lelo somewhat lied, smile turning sheepish at the elderly king’s words.
“ Splendid! “ Aldrick grinned brightly, not noticing the hesitation and anxiety in his soon-to-be-son-in-law(???)’s face.
“ Father- “ Alexander spoke up, holding Lelo’s hand under the table.
“ Hm-? “ Said father hummed in response, taking a sip of his wine.
“ I would appreciate it if you didn’t tease my lover so “ Alexander chuckled, Aldrick joining in soon after.
“ I swear to you, I’m not. You would know if I was. “ Aldrick replied, sipping his wine once more.
