Summary: AUThrill PairDont you hate those cliche cinderella stories? Well, here's another one for you. Fuji Syuusuke, the first son of the King and Queen of Seigaku, was giving a ball, and every eligable woman in the country was invited. His mother went behind his back, just because she wanted an heir to the throne, after Syuusuke. Syuusuke always felt trapped within the castle walls, but one day, on his daily sneakings from the castle, he bumps into a small golden eyed boy and he knew from the look in his eyes, that he felt the same way. Slightly based on Cinderella. The Movie. The one with Brandy and Whitney Huston in it

Are You The Sweet Invention of A
Lover's Dream?
Chapter 1. The Dearest
Love In All The World Is Waiting Somewhere For Me.
Impossible.
For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage.
Impossible.
For a plain country pumpkin and a prince to join in marriage.
A
slipper made of glass is just a shoe.
And
dreamers never make the dream come true.
Impossible.
It was a bustling day in the marketplace. Today, Prince Syuusuke was no longer a prince, but just Fuji, a peasant wandering the marketplace, looking at everything that caught his interest.
"Cinderella! Hurry up with those packages!" An angry voice yelled out from the middle of a crown. Fuji's warm smile slowly turned down as he saw the upperclass woman and two hideous ladies following her. Straying behind was a small child carrying things from bags to boxes and hats.
"Yes Stepmother." Squeaked the packages. He slightly chuckled, and intently went to help the poor young child. All of a sudden, a horse drawn carriage crossed the path and the little one dropped everything.
As the child went to collect the fallen packages, Fuji came over to help. Upon closer recognition, he saw a small young girl. Her cheeks were flushed as he helped her up.
"You know those royals. Not really caring if they get in anyone's way." He said handing her the rest of her fallen items.
"Oh, Im sure they had to go somewhere very important." She said meekly.
"Yeah right." He snorted on the inside.
"Thank you, kind sir, for helping me." She bowed down to him.
"My pleasure." He smiled again and brought her hand to his lips. He turned around and walked off.
'CINDERELLA!' was heard in the distance as Fuji walked off. Another good deed done for the day.
As he walked on, he noticed a small boy sulking. Much in the same way when Fuji returns to the castle and his mask crumples. He couldn't help but be drawn to the boy.
He had jet black hair with a hint of green, thanks to the sun's sweet kiss. His eyes were a lovely golden colour, and when he noticed a presence in front of him and looked at the young prince, Fuji drowned in their depths.
"Hm? Whats a cute thing like you looking so sad on a day like this?" He asked with a smile. He chuckled on the inside upon noticing how corny that sounded.
The sweetest sound Ill ever hear are still inside my head.
The young one looked up at him with sad eyes.
"I feel...lonely." He said looking down at his feet. Fuji sympathized and sat beside him.
"I know how you feel." He said casually, leaning back on his hands. Sweat was glistening on his forehead. 'Its really hot today' he thought as he unbuttoned one of the buttons on his shirt.
"You know, Im not allowed to talk to strangers." The golden eyed one said with a slight smirk. Fuji opened his eyes slightly to look at the boy. He turned back and gazed out at all the little kids playing with eachother, or watching the puppet show on the street.
"Well, can this charming stranger find out your name?"
The kindest words Ill ever know are waiting to be said.
"I dont know. Why should I trust a stranger, whom I just met on the street, with something as personal as my name?" Fuji smiled. 'This boy is very interesting', Fuji thought.
"Im sorry, I didn't know you were so overprotective of something like your name." Fuji said lightly.
"Its alright." He paused. "Its just Ive lived a pretty sheltered life. Doing the same old routine every single day," Fuji interupted him, yet continued the senctence. "Until the point where you just want to run away."
"And never come back." They said at the same time. They looked at eachother, and the boy slightly smiled at him. Fuji's eyes opened fully, and gave him a very genuine smile.
The most entrancing sight of all is yet for me to see.
Fuji noticed something at that moment. The way the boy smiled, was incredible. Such a gentle, sweet thing was hidden under this cold, yet strong, but lonely exterior. It was absolutely gorgeous.
"Echizen." The boy whispered.
"Pardon?" Fuji answered politely.
"Echizen Ryoma. That's my name." He replied a bit louder. Fuji smiled again. "Dont you think your mouth muscles are going to cramp from smiling like that all the time?" Echizen asked him.
"You have some attitude there, Echizen. However, I must be off." Fuji stood up and brushed the imaginary dust from his pants as he turned to face Echizen.
"It was nice talking to you." He bowed slightly and started walking in the opposite direction.
"Wait! I didn't get your name!" Echizen yelled.
And the dearest love in all the world is waiting somewhere for me.
Fuji looked over his shoulder and said a single word.
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me.
"Syuusuke."
TBC.
