An old vinyl was playing slowly on the record player, a slow jazz ensemble letting out low notes. It was pleasant, the calm music mixing with the gentle crashing of the waves coming onto shore, and the filtered sunlight coming through the linen curtains and warming up your skin. There was no rushing, no tasks that needed to be urgently done, and no one to boss you around. You could definitely get used to this.Β
βYouβre looking right at home there,β a soft chuckle broke you from your relaxed spell. Leona was standing in front of you, giving you a curious look. βLike a house cat sunbathing.β
You rolled your eyes, βFitting coming from you.β You stretched out, and rolled off of the chaise you were lounging on.Β
Leona sighed in mock annoyance, but he could get used to seeing you without the weight of all your responsibilities resting on your shoulders. You looked β and by all the lounging you had been doing since you had both arrived β and felt lighter as well. And in the golden sunlight? Leona swore that you were glowing.
You lazily walked over to him, placing your arms around his neck. βIs something bothering you?β
Bothering me? βNo, nothing at the moment,β he said quietly. What was there to be bothered by? The two of you were together, and there was no one around to annoy the both of you. βAnd you?β
You hummed along to the song playing, βNope!~β You let out a breathy chuckle and started to gently sway back and forth to the music. βWould you care to join me for this danceβ¦ your majesty?~βΒ
Leona groaned at the nickname; you only brought it out when you were feeling teasing. He didnβt mind though, since it didnβt hold the weight it did at the palace, or the mocking tone that others sometimes used. You just were being a teasing menace and a cute one at that.
Letting out a showy sigh he adjusted your hands so that he was holding one and the other was placed on his waist. βI suppose I can spare one for you,β he said lowly, voice barely above a grumble.Β
The two of you swayed gently together to the soft music, gentle swaying, and long, slow, looping circles around the room. You were still humming the non-existent lyrics to the song, and Leona hummed softly from time to time as well, adding to the melody. Never did he think that he would end up in such a scene; dancing with someone he loved so dearly in something that he could only explain as a fairytale scene. It was soft, domestic, tender, and filled with such innocent love. All things that Leona had convinced himself that he didnβt want. But then you came into his life. You threw a wrench into his life, but what a lovely wrench it turned out to be.
The song came to an end far too soon, and the two of you came to a slow standstill, still in each otherβs loose embrace. Neither of you made a move to let go, instead you both just stood there, hand in hand, your hand on his waist, and his on yours.
βYou make for a good dance partner,β you chuckle.
Leona raised a brow, βAnd are you surprised by that?β
You bring his hand to your lips, placing a kiss on the inside of his wrist while looking at him through your lashes. βNo, itβs just endearing is all.β
Leona had received kisses from you before, both soft and passionate, but this one actually made his heart flutter. He didnβt know how to feel about it, but he did know that the way you looked at him just thenβ¦ he wanted you to look at him with such adoration again and again and again. It was addictive.
He brought your hand to his lips, and returned the kiss, letting it linger so he could feel your steady pulse. Perhaps the two of you should come out here more often if this was what happened⦠Leona could spend the rest of his life with you in this picturesque moment.
I think the only reason I don't like the Rise of Red songs as much is because they're way too talky. It's like if every single Descendants song sounded like It's Goin Down.
But even the actual Descendants songs that have talky bits don't feel as severe as RoR. I don't know.
I like Love Ain't It and Perfect Revenge but even still it's like ladies stop talking start singing you're so close to a good song pleaseee!!

Just got to do Marcus and Sam and Iβll be more or less done with swap au designs! Besides maybe some doodles or something idk where Iβll be going from here
Anyways as people who kept track of these posts will know that in the swap au, humans were the ones who immigrated into Dimension X and Earth was the one that got destroyed, this also means human sand hybrids/aliens roles in society have been switched around as well
One aspect that hasnβt been switched is the moral alignment of Rayman and Pagan Min
While taking Paganβs place in this AU, Rayman is still the noble and kind hearted limbless guy we all know and love , just maybe out of touch with Edenβs population. In this AU Rayman was retired from hero business close to the time where humans came into his world and Eden was formed (this may have been done on purpose by the Council of Teensies) . Rayman is a very influential and rich man in this setting , but isnβt ruled by selfish greed like many other people in his position. Instead he uses his large fortune to help those in need and runs several charities and shelters
This was even how he met PeyβJ , who claimed to be an activist for human rights in the alien world of swap Eden and would detail the life of his wonderful niece to Rayman. When Rayman caught feelings for PeyβJ, he had hopes of becoming a second uncle to Jade
Unfortunately, Rayman was completely unaware of PeyβJβs true colours, and the pigβs awillingness to dodge responsibility when PeyβJ tricks him into killing Dolph with his flying fist
Pagan Min, as Edenβs poster boy , on the other hand is a very selfish and cruel manβ¦..who is also severely traumatised from having to witness his wife and child die horribly before leaving his planet and everything behind. A man who was once a dictator of an entire nation , was reduced to almost nothing when he arrived in Eden. So he obviously took the offer to be the Teensies news host
However the Council of Teensies would get comfortable with their power over Pagan and how much humiliation of the man they could get away with. When they decide to replace Pagan with a lookalike called Eric , they forgot about Paganβs past history as a crime lord when they sent a hitman to his apartment
But Pagan Min is more than happy to give those tiny blue pricks a history lesson of Kyrat : )
