## Card Story

[Spirit Card Story - A Date with my Beloved: START]

Spirit’s day on the cruise had been wonderful, and finally after a long but absolutely splendid day, night had fallen upon him. As the stars glimmered and whispered thousands of untold stories, Spirit and Asmos made their way to a special event on the cruise, a formal dance. As they entered the ballroom twinkled with excitement and beauty, Spirit couldn't help but feel a nagging in the pit of his stomach, but he was determined to not let it ruin such a dazzling night with Asmos.

Asmos took Spirit by the hand and dragged him to the floor.

“Huh..? Asmo! Ahaha!” Spirit couldn’t help but laugh at Asmo’s fiery energy.

Whilst Spirit still felt an unrelenting pain in his stomach, he moved forward with courage.

The ballroom was stunning, from the golden chandelier to the star painted ceiling, it was perfect, and Spirit was happy that he was with Asmos, the person who cared for and loved so much.

With multiple inquiries, Asmos asked Spirit in a gentle tone, “Oh Spirit, would you let me have a dance with you on this magnificently beautiful night? I Shall promise not to step on thy toes!”

In a cordial but quick response, Spirit replied “Oh shut it will you! You know I'm no better at dancing than you..but…do you think others will notice?”

“What do you mean?” Asmos asked with sincerity

“That..I’m no good at dancing. I mean, tonight should be a night we both enjoy and cherish…so..whatever, let’s dance then!” Spirit muttered under his breath, he was afraid he may ruin the night if he spoke any more.

Asmos hadn’t caught what Spirit had said last, but seeing a smile on his face, even if it were forced,  they thought that was the queue to join the dance. Asmos grabbed Spirit’s hand once more and they carefully glided over to the dance floor, as if they were on ice.

The dance floor was prominently more beautiful every step you took, walking closer and closer to the middle. Glowing Stars were hanging all around, a golden ambience filled the room, sticking with every person who entered. There was a crowd dancing and laughing with drinks and one another in arms. While initially being scared and anxious, Spirit started to relax, seeing the positivity that overflowed in the room, yet, he still felt judged.

Once Asmos and Spirit finally made their way to an open spot, they took each other in arm and tried to figure out how they were to be situated. Their stumbling and laughing had made some heads turn and stare. Spirit started feeling that anxiety once more, but as he looked into Asmos eyes, he could see galaxies, shooting stars, oceans, and illuminated rainbows. the longer he looked, the less anxious he felt. Asmos eyes were gentle and filled with love as they looked at Spirit, and suddenly, as if what had felt like it had been an eternity Spirit stopped feeling a pit in his stomach  and fell in love all over again. As the two gazed at each other they laughed and played, neither of them were great dancers, but each other's company was more than enough.

And as they danced under the golden moonlight, they knew, each other’s company would always be more than enough.
