A lovely grumpy Pet

Lucy observed him, raising an eyebrow. "And your costume is a flasher or...?"

"Very funny. Not everyone has to be as 'fashionable' as you or whatever you're trying to be with that outfit" he stated, rolling his eyes. "I'm a detective."

"Well, detective, I am the King of Hearts himself~", Lucy announced proudly, grinning widely.

"More like a tyrant of hearts." He grinned, leaning back in his seat.

Lucy chuckled at that. "You can see it as you want." Flo got in the car then as well and drove them to the party. There, Lucy got out and reached Bandit a hand. "Let's get going. Stay close to me."

"...I... need to fix something first... give me a moment" he announced, shutting the door quickly before he took of the trenchcoat and put on the ears, adjusting everything one last time before opening the door again, taking a deep breath and getting out.

Lucy stared back at him. He was like frozen, not able to process what was going on right now, before he gulped slowly.

Bandit looked at him, quirking up an eyebrow and smiling sexily (at least he hoped it looked like that) before taking Lucy's hand. "What's wrong? Didn't you want to get going?" he practically purred.

Lucy's body tensed up slightly, as Bandit took his hand and it took a while, before he shook his head and frowned. "O... Of course... Let's go..."

He smirked and followed Lucy into the building to the party. There were too many people for his taste and comfort but he overplayed it for now, looking around with fake interest at the other costumes and people when he reality he couldn't have cared less about them. "So... what do you want to do first? Any friends you're meeting up with? Want to go dancing? Or check out that buffet over there?"

A lot of people complimented Lucy and Bandit on their outfits. Even though it wasn’t Visionen, Lucy felt angry, challenged. As Bandit spoke up again, He flinched, looking back at him. "Oh...uhm... The Buffet. Let's go there first. I... I need a drink", He explained quickly and went ahead.

Bandit grinned,  following Lucy and staying close to him, just like he had ordered him to after all. "Hello, how can I help you~?" one of the butlers at the bar next to the buffet asked them. It was visible that he was checking out Bandit just a tick longer than Lucy, a cocky smile on his lips. Bandit decided to just go for it and test out how far he could push Lucy, leaning forward on the bar in a sexy pose, smiling at the butler. "My... king here really needs a drink... and I wouldn't say no to one either. Would you mind to mix me your favourite~?" The butler didn't need to be told twice, mixing two glasses of a strong cocktail, pushing it over to Bandit. "Thanks sweetheart~" he cooed before turning around with the glasses, handing one to Lucy, grinning challenging at him.

Lucy glared back at him and huffed, taking the drink and downing it quite quickly. It was visible that He was frustrated, even tho He tried his Best to hide it.

"Want mine as well...?" he asked innocently, taking a sip from it before reaching it towards him.

He looked sceptical back at him. "... Would be better if you stood sober. I don't need a drunken Bodyguard", He replied, grabbing the drink and downing it as well, making a face, before putting the glass on the counter. "Ugh... That hits the Spot."

"I wasn't planning on getting wasted. I can hold my liqour pretty well if I want to" he said with a shrug, smiling. "You're the one who might need a bit more alcohol to enjoy himself~ You're looking so uptight my king."

Lucy blushed softly and grumbled, before huffing again. "You might be right..." He looked for a waiter, before waving him over. "More Drinks please."

The waiter nodded, leaving quickly and returning shortly after with a whole plate of different drinks. Bandit just kept standing next to him, stretching himself a bit now and then, making just the most loveliest sighs and noises... while looking completely innocent of course.

"Thank you very much, good sir", Lucy replied with a sweet voice, before he started drinking them. He tensed up now and then at Bandit's noises, trying to ignore him, offering him the one or another drink.

He gladly took them, drinking them moderately though. He was on duty after all, even if it was for someone like Lucy... "Feeling better?" he asked after Lucy was through roughly half of the tablet, smiling at him rather sweetly.

Lucy leaned over the counter, downing another drink, before getting up with a drink. "Fuck you, I'm fine", he told him, stumbling over to the buffet. "Jus' need somethin' to bite", he mumbled.

"Hey, easy there." He gently grabbed Lucy's arm, holding it while walking next to him. "Why are you so angry, I'm not attacking you for once. I thought you'd enjoy having a nice evening for once?" Bandit leaned in a bit closer, smiling widely.

Lucy tensed up, as he got closer again, glaring back at him. "i... I am enjoying the evening. I have no idea how you get the idea of me not doing that", he slurred, blushing. "What's... What's up with that outfit anyway?", he asked in an attempt to switch the topic... by ending up on a even worse topic.

"You're glaring at me for example, that's what gave it away. And this?" Bandit looked down at himself like he hadn't seen what he has been wearing this whole time before looking back up at Lucy, tilting his head playfully. "What's wrong with it?"

"Well... Everything... Like... Why even??", he stuttered. "You put this on on purpose... T... To peeve me...", he blamed him, huffing, hiccing up slightly.
