Hello everyone, I have no idea where this came from. I don't usually do romance, even just a cute little fluffy thing like this, but I was pondering my ponders, and this eventually sprung forth from the depth of my brain. I know that no ones ever done anything with this paring either, so it makes me feel kind of unique. Will probably be a two-shot, and really is just a little break for me.

Childish Crush

Nana sat in a corner of the large room she and her friends were waiting in until daybreak arrived. This was certainly a very odd turn of events, and she wasn't really sure what to think anymore. Husky's brother (yeah, turns out he has those) Keane, had told them they should go to sleep, but Nana decided to stay awake just a little bit longer, still listening around the castle for any sounds of people coming to potentially find them.

Quickly she glanced over to where Husky, well his real name was apparently Myrrha, was. He wasn't asleep yet either, actually she was pretty sure that Cooro was the only one to take the redheaded prince's advice. He was talking to Keane about tomorrow, and what'd they would need to do to keep themselves from getting caught.

She didn't know what to think about the slightly older boy. He seemed nice enough, at least, when he wasn't mistaking them for Husky's servants. She guessed it had to be because of Sailand's laws, and the fact that Husky was technically still a prince, since they all had their animas out when he met them. Except Senri, but he was a kim-un-kur, so it was basically the same thing.

Standing up, she walked over to where the two were, still a bit shocked from all the recent revelations about the silver boy's life. Of course, they'd just have to deal with all that later, after they were able to see his mother.

"Husky, which way is it to the bathroom?" she asked, trying her beset to ignore the peeved look he shot at her.

"What? It's dangerous to be wondering around alone, what if you get caught," the silver haired boy said, and Nana just pointed towards her ears to remind him that wouldn't happen. He still seemed a bit annoyed though, and just rolled his eyes.

"I can take her, if you want," Keane offered, grabbing both of their attention. Before Husky had a chance to object, the redhead started up again. "Do you even remember where they are? What if you walked into someone's room by accident," he said, and Husky almost instantly shut his mouth to think.

"They're um… you just go… fine! Just be quick and don't get caught!" he insisted, trying to hide the slight embarrassment that Keane had been right, and he actually couldn't remember which of the numerous doors they would be looking for was the correct one. Nana obediently followed the older boy out of the room and down the long circle hallway. It wasn't very hard to notice the awkward silence that immediately fell over the two, neither quite sure what to say, if they should even say anything.

"So…" Keane started, and Nana just nodded, glancing at him and then away again. "You're… Nana?" he asked, and she nodded again.

"And you're Keane, right?" she answered.

"Um, how long have you known Myrrha?" he asked, something Nana figured was an attempt at a common subject to keep things from getting too awkward. The brunette had to think for a moment though. She'd almost forgotten it was probably close to the middle of winter now, with how hot it was in Sailand all the time.

"Five… maybe six months now. I guess it hasn't really been as long as it seems," She said, and Keane nodded absently.

"Well, he only di- disappeared a year ago, so he hasn't really been gone all that long to begin with," he said, stumbling over the one word slightly. Nana was pretty sure that he almost said died. She could only imagine what it must feel like to have someone you thought was dead just show up in the middle of the night like Husky had.

The redhead abruptly stopped in front of one of the doors. "Right here. Um, I don't know if anyone's inside or anything but uh…" he said, mumbling slightly as he glanced at her ears and then away again. She couldn't help but wonder how much interaction with anima he had, probably not very much. Despite his initial blunder, he was actually doing pretty good with treating them normally, and she tried to smile to show him it was fine.

"I don't hear anyone, I'll just be a minute," she said before disappearing behind the door. When she came back out, he was still waiting for her, and they started making their way back to his room. Nana had no clue how they were able to keep track of which door led to whose room, they all looked the same to her.

"Um," Keane started up again, about halfway back to his room. "thanks for… looking after Myrrha and everything. He can be… difficult," the redhead mumbled, and Nana had to admit he wasn't exactly how she imagined a prince to be, but then again, neither was Husky. Although while Husky was brash and blunt and well, difficult at times, Keane seemed to let his emotions through a lot more. Or at least, that's what she could tell, from the way he freaked out when he saw the 'ghost' to nearly crying when he found out Husky was alive, to now.

"Don't worry about it, Husky's our friend. Although I wont argue with you on the difficult part," she said, and Keane just smiled slightly and nodded. Hm, Husky had said that they'd fought a lot, and Nana couldn't help but wonder if Keane had been different back then, or if this was just one side of him. Either way, it made her wonder just who had started most of those fights.

Before she could really think about it they were back inside him room, and Nana went back to sit with the others, while Keane went over to Husky again. It was pretty obvious that he was still in awe about the younger boy being alive and back.

Sitting down, Nana tried to keep herself from staring at the two boys, but couldn't help to glance at them every once in a while. They looked like fire and water, and they kind of were, but their personalities were switched from the color pallets.

It was maybe ten minutes later when Husky finally decided to go to sleep as well. It was a bit strange, for brothers who hadn't seen each other in almost a year, and probably never would again after all this was over, they hadn't really talked about anything personal. There were an awful lot of queens though, and she could guess even more princes and princesses, so maybe they weren't really that close to begin with.

Nana kept her anima out but decided to try and sleep as well. All the while she tried not to blush when she'd glance over to where the redheaded prince was, still awake as well. So she hadn't really known him for all that long, it was just a childish crush that she'd forget about when they left to go back to Asteria.

It wasn't like she could really help it though, he was a prince, after all. Not to mention pretty nice, and he definitely wasn't ugly. Being a little older than her didn't hurt much either. It wasn't going to go anywhere though, and she accepted this without any real difficulty as she gradually fell asleep.

She would question any girl who didn't at least get a small crush after meeting a real live prince.


Tadaa, like I said, just something small and cute. And hurray, I'm still the only person with a story posted in the Keane section, I'm my own fandom. Haha, well, I hope you liked this, and please review.
