I really am the only person I can find to ship these two, aren't I? Aw, that's a shame, they're my OTP for this anime...

Set during episode 6 :D

"Shirayuki and you are lovers, aren't you?!"

"What...what makes you think that?"

"After what happened that day?! How could anybody not think you two have something special going on between you both?!"

"It's not like that Raji!"

"Alright, then who does the Second Prince of Clarines like then?"

"...Someone I can't be with, perhaps".

"So it is Shirayuki, liar". Hands slammed against the wall, trapping the brunette prince against the wall, making him gulp. "Z-Zen... I just-" he was cut off with the other's lips against his own, moving and moulding softly together. Eyes widened slightly before slowly dropping to a close before their lips parted. "Zen..."

"Does that make things clearer, now? I don't love Shirayuki, not anymore. Lord Brother will no doubt want me to find a suitor soon, judging by how things get when he returns to the castle. But I don't want to get to know some street hussy he finds just to get married someday, I want someone who I know I can treat right without any hassle or complications".

"And you believe that person is me? Judging from that kiss just now I mean".

Zen sighed but kept a smile on his face anyway. "Is that how you saw it?"

"Why? Am I wrong? Was this all just a joke?"

"No. Because you saw it exactly the way I do".

"You mean to say that you-"

"I love you, Prince Raji". Zen kissed him again, "I love you so much more than anyone could imagine. Nobody knows this about me, not even Kiki and Mistuhide. Obi might, knowing that sly character, but that's besides the point. I just need to know if...if you'll come to the castle again someday...for me...so I can see you..."

"Don't you prefer not being confined to the grounds of your castle?"

"Yes, but I wouldn't mind staying here if it meant you're coming to visit me".

"...Hmm... And if I say I love you too then what happens if we get caught?"

"You worry way too much. If we go to my room and stay in there then things will be fine, nobody will know. I'm hardly in there anyway so nobody will think to look there, not even my attendants. Please Raji? I'm not doing anything to cause you trouble, I swear, this is just a genuine confession. I love you..."

Raji hesitated, thinking things over before looking back at Zen. Raji returned his feelings, he was sure that he no longer loved Shirayuki either. "Alright Zen. I love you too, no lies". Raji lifted his arms and wrapped them round Zen's neck, bringing him in for a kiss again to prove his statement. Zen slipped his hands from the wall and laid them on Raji's waist, encircling them together. "I assume I'll be stopping here for awhile longer if Prince Izana is around".

"Yes, I assume you will. So, stay with me for the nights you're here".

"Seriously? I-Isn't this going a bit far...? I-I mean we've only just-" He was cut off by Zen's laughter. "W-What's so funny?!"

"N-Nothing but you j-jumping to c-conclusions R-Raji!" Zen laughed, pulling the younger prince closer to him. "I wasn't thinking of anything like what you are, not yet anything" the white haired Clarines' prince winked with a smirk, making the other pout.

"Make out session tonight in your room as a way of making it up to me for that".

"Heh, deal".

I'm not lying, I love these two together! My favourite characters would be Zen, Raji, Ryuu, Obi and Shuka :)
