Two weeks have passed and the art exhibition quickly crept up on Asa and Brainy. Asa was so excited about the exhibition because his love for art was infinite, he just loved going to museums and art exhibitions to see others' masterpieces. He knows the feeling of being viewed from your art; it felt so euphoric. But most of all, he was Brainy's plus one, Brainy's date. It was as friends, but he didn't care, he just felt that being at her side was enough for him.

Asa's been thumping erratically the entire day, he had continuously done breathing exercises to calm his nerves. He has spent a week touching up his red suit. He hemmed and trimmed some fabric off because it still had an outdated look, but Asa wanted to add more pizazz just to surprise Brainy.

Theodore sat on the bathroom counter, he kicked his legs as he watched Asa style his hair. "It's all about precision Theo, you can't rush perfection," Asa mumbled as he slowly pulls back his hair with his comb. Asa looked to the side and his hair was gelled down, he hardly ever wore gel. Asa always looked like a completely different person. His platinum white hair was slicked back, exposing his forehead, but one side fell on his face. His makeup was a natural look but a hint of pink on his eyes, sporting a somewhat natural hue and wore just a little contour on the jaw and cheeks for more definition.

"Beautiful," Theodore beamed.

"Thank you, baby," Asa smiled.

Theodore honestly couldn't wait to see Asa's reaction to Brainy in her dress because she looked so gorgeous and much different than how she usually appeared. Of course, Brainy was gorgeous in anything but Theodore noticed that Brainy got more attention when dressed this way, it really showed the dark feminine energy that she had.

"Okay, let's go," Asa breathed out.

Asa goes to Theodore's house and as they walk into the driveway, Asa can hear bickering in the driveway.

"You already took so many pictures!"

"One more, just one more."

Asa comes further up the walkway and his mouth falls ajar as he saw Brainy standing facing her sister as they look at Angel's phone. "I like that one because, in the other one, my eyes were closed," Brainy pouted, Angel shook her head and before she could refute, her eyes trailed to Asa. Angel's eyes widened and Brainy turned around slowly, as she followed her sister's eyes to Asa. Brainy's eyebrows lifted, and her lips curves into a big smile.

"Woah, you look amazing," Brainy beamed as her eyes trailed him from head to toe.

Asa couldn't even compute what Brainy was saying, his mind went haywire. He licked his lips and he looked away for a second, he exhaled. Brainy let out a small laugh as she gave him a twirl. "I look good don't I?" Brainy teased and Asa couldn't even answer.

Brainy wore a blood-red, satin scoop neck dress with a high slit. She wore red mesh gloves to match with black heels. Her hair was straightened, and her hair touched her shoulders. She had a swoop bang with flipped-bumped ends.

Theodore quickly nudged Asa, Asa cleared his throat as his gaze dropped to the ground then back at Brainy. "You look so beautiful," Asa sighed and Brainy flipped her hair over her shoulder gently. "Thank you," Brainy grinned and she motioned to Asa's outfit, "You look amazing and you really look like a prince. I mean.. Y-you're a prince and you are handsome like the one which is, of course, like-okay, but also—let me shut up," Brainy said with a nervous laughed.

Asa chuckled, he licks his lips, "I know what you are saying.. Thank you," He smiled and Brainy looked at Theodore who had his phone, he held it up and recorded the entire moment.

"Are you recording us?" Brainy questioned.

Theodore nodded as he looks at the screen of his phone. "You guys are both pretty and I want to save this," Theodore mumbled, his eyebrows knitted together as he held up his phone.
