Jax fixed his tie, peering over his shoulder to watch Pomni as she applied her blush at her dresser. Caine had been pondering on how to gain more ratings for the show, and had been offered the suggestion of a ballroom dance from Gangle. Jax wouldn’t lie, it seemed like a good idea. Just a nice night to slow dance with his wife until sleep caught up to them or when the sun rose over them.

Once his tie was done, he buttoned up his waistcoat and went over to his wife. He bent down and wrapped his arms around her, pressing a kiss to the side of her neck, “You’re so beautiful.”

She giggled, “I’m not done getting ready yet.”

“Doesn’t matter,” he whispered against her skin. “You’re always beautiful no matter how you look.”

“Even after I ugly cry over burning food by accident?” she snickered lightheartedly. 

Jax chortled, pressing a kiss to her hair, “Especially then.”

Pomni rolled her eyes fondly, finishing her lipstick before standing, “I have to change.”

“I can’t wait to see what you wear,” Jax said. “You look drop dead gorgeous in everything you wear.”

“Well aren’t you a flatterer,” she smiled, taking the hanger and bag the dress was in. “Turn around please.”

Jax didn’t hesitate, facing the other way. Pomni could still be nervous with how she looked, it was why he always took the chance to tell her how beautiful she is whenever he would - after all it was the truth, she was always stunning. 

“Um, Jax?”

Jax’s ears perked up when hearing her voice, “Am I okay to look?”

“Yeah, um. Could you help me zip this?” she asked timidly. “The zipper is a bit jammed.”

Jax turned around, his voice stuck in his throat when he saw her. The sleeveless dress was a deep red, with a sweetheart neckline and a high-low skirt covered in rose petals. Jax was nothing short of breathless, “You’re stunning.”

Pomni’s face turned the same colour as her dress, “Darling, please, the zipper?”

Jax blinked some of his awe away, “R-right.” He went behind her, taking the zipper from her fingers. He slowly eased the zip up, letting his fingers trail over her soft skin, hearing her gulp from his delicate touch. He couldn’t help but tease her a little bit. The zip finally reached the top of her dress, “There.” He pressed a kiss to her bare upper back, “All done.”

Pomni squeaked, interlacing their fingers together, “You’re such a tool sometimes.”

“Yeah,” Jax kissed up the way to her neck. “I am.” He continued to press kisses to her cheek, before twirling her around and kissed her soundly on the lips.

Pomni breathed into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. She pulled away for air, pressing kisses all over his face, leaving red lipstick marks all over his purple fur. She giggled when she stopped, “Oops.”

Jax knew how he must have looked at the moment, joining in on her laughter, “I think we’re going to be a bit late to the ball.”

“Oh well,” Pomni shrugged. “Maybe we can sneak in a few more kisses before heading down.”

The rabbit smirked, cupping his wife’s cheeks, “I’m sure that can be arranged.” His lips pressed against hers once again.

Caine tapped his foot against the marble floor of the ballroom, checking his watch, “Where on earth could those two lovebirds be?!”

Ragatha chuckled, “Those two are head over heels with each other. Honestly I’m not surprised that they’re a little bit late.”

The ringmaster was about to open his mouth to speak when the sound of the door closing behind him caught his attention. Turning, he saw the missing rabbit and jester finally arrive, “What took you two so long?!”

“Oh you know,” Pomni shared a knowing look with her husband. “Just testing some lipstick.”

“And admiring our outfits,” Jax continued, patting his pocket where a lipstick covered handkerchief was hidden. And would probably be used again later tonight if a storage closet was found.
