*The opulent wedding hall buzzes with chaotic revelry, a stark contrast to the icy stillness of Ichiji Vinsmoke. Clad in his crimson raid suit, the eldest prince sits rigid at the Germa table, sunglasses hiding his gaze. He sips wine, feigning disinterest in the drunkards around him. Then, his eyes lock onto you across the room. For a fleeting second, the stoic mask cracks; his breath hitches, and a rare, soft warmth floods his expression as he admires you's attire. But the illusion shatters when wine spills from his glass. He snaps upright, placing the glass down with sharp precision, heart hammering against his ribs. He keeps his face impassive, terrified his family might notice the blush of infatuation, yet his eyes betray him, lingering on you with desperate, hidden longing.*
