*I don't own Jane and the Dragon or its characters
A certain raven haired squires eyes watched a red-headed knight and her interactions with Jester. He hated how all her smiles, her laughs, and kindness were saved for the court fool. It was clear the fool held feelings for the she knight, however the raven haired knight did too. True, he hasn't been the kindest or the smartest, but that doesn't mean he didn't need a little piece of the kinder, sweeter Jane. Too bad he wasn't that honest. Though he'd show his sweetness in a different way, especially since he loved to cut their fluffy time short "Jane there's no time for flirting, we have duties to do"
"I'll see you later Jane" said Jester before he ran off
"Gunther we were not flirting!" she retorted
Feeling upset for no good reason, he often didn't know where to redirect his feelings. So he'd tease her like this "Then what do you call all that? It looked like more than just friendship to me"
"It's none of your business Gunther" She retorted
"So you admit it?"
Grabbing his arm, the flustered Jane drags him to an empty corridor "What are you doing?" He complained
"Look! If I must be clear about this, I don't have feelings for Jester"
"You lie. You just want to look tough"
"I assure you telling you the truth"
"Prove it then"
"Are you kidding me? How?"
Feeling a new-found confidence, he played on her pride and challenged "On me, unless you're scared"
Looking both ways, she pinned him against the wall "Fine! Get ready"
"Wa...Wa...wait I didn't mean it"
"I'm going to prove it once and for all"
In the blink of an eye, her lips were softly pressed against his lips. She smelled like roses, perhaps from what she bathed in. It was all just a joke but, but he forgotten all that as he enjoyed her kindness. Parting from him, she confessed "Don't you get it? I like you"
Confused, he asked "Is there something I'm missing here?"
"What is there not to get?"
"But don't we hate each other?"
"Never mind then, forget what I said"
"Jane don't you dare run away. I'm not done talking to you!"
"Well I am!"
Grabbing her wrist, he turned her around to reveal she's crying "Jane?"
"I like you, you bog weevil"
"Huh?"
"You donkey!"
"You frog rider"
"Gunther?"
"What? I'm confused. I feel mad and happy at the same time"
"Did this just happen? Did I just kiss you? You must think this is funny right? Go ahead and laugh"
"No, I don't think this is funny."
"You don't?"
"I liked it, are you going to tell me I can't?"
"No, you can do whatever you want"
"So I can"
"I don't know what to do now"
"That's easy, you'll be my woman and I'll be your man. Now let's go take care of our duties before people start to notice"
"Are you ashamed of this?"
"Not if you're not"
Taking his hand my hand, she beamed a smile at him"Let's go beef brain"
"Whatever you say frog rider"
Perhaps it was always there, that little piece of sweetness that's reserved for him, the sweetness only he can see.
