~Eternal Love
Chapter 2
(Please excuse spelling errors.)

I ended up sitting beside Noctis, which was kinda awkward since the chairs were kind of placed close to each other. But I'd probably have to get used to this guy, after all, I might even end up marrying him, according to the sudden news my Mom and Dad had delivered to me earlier today.

My stomach was growling like a freakin' monster by now, "UGH! Why do I have to be hunger beside possibly the most handsome person on earth?!' By now, I wanted my stomach to shut the hell up, I couldn't wait until food was served.

A number of servants were setting the forks, spoons, and glasses, and were also filling the cups with ice cold looking water. I smiled at Ayumi who was probably feeling happy as heck now, she loves going to new houses. I glanced at Noctis, he looked like we was hungry as well. To be honest I just felt like hugging him, cuddling into him so badly now for some odd reason. The room was a bit chilly anyways. Whatever, I'll just have to get over the strange feeling.

To be honest, as soon as I saw him, I fell for him, I love him. He, however, probably thought I was some weirdo.

A few minutes of awkward silence between me and Noctis and passed by and by then the food was all prepared and served on the table. "THANK GOD!' Inside, I was almost drooling over the food, I wanted to eat everything, it all looked so good! "Haha, dig in!" The Queen had spoke. My deep blue eyes had brightened and I had put myself the food that looked the most tempting and ate along with everybody else.

~ Half an Hour Later ~

Surprisingly, everybody had finished eating, and unfortunately there had been lots of left overs. 'Meh, that's what happens when you cook too much' I thought to myself, almost bloated. "You're Majesty, I would love to thank you for the food and for inviting us over to eat lunch." I said, with a sweet smile. "You're most welcome my dear, It's my pleasure." She was too nice, and she was really pretty as well.

And then again, an awkward silence passed by until the Queen broke the quietness in the room. "Have you and Noctis spent time together yet?" She asked me, looking at me in the eyes. I felt my cheeks turn pink, "Uh, I-I bumped into him earlier on... we introduced ourselves, I would love to get to know him some more." I said, 'What.. the.. f&%$ is wrong with me.. WHY DO I GET SO NERVOUS!' The last part totally slipped out of my mouth, I didn't know what to say. It was just there, so I just said it, but I did mean it. I hope he didn't think of me wrong.. the last thing I wanted him to think of me was some kind of Princess that was a slut and wanted boys 24/7.

His parents looked at me, with a kind of satisfaction.. they probably knew I was taking a liking to Noctis. "Uhm, excuse me.." I said getting up from the table and asked the servant where the washroom was "Here, I'll lead you to th- "It's okay, I'll lead her." I turned around and looked at Noctis who offered instead. "What a sweet son you have." My Mother spoke, smiling.

Noctis' reaction is what made me like him even more. As soon as my Mom had complimented him, I saw him blush a bit, a light tint of pink covered his cheeks, he lowered his head so they wouldn't see, but at least I did.

He is a shy boy after all, he just covers it up. He got up from is chair and starting leading the way, me walking behind him of course. I had to fix my hair, I could tell that it was a total mess. We had finally arrived at the washroom, "Thank you, Noctis." I said smiling. "Welcome, and make sure not to get lost on your way back." He said. I nodded and entered the washroom, which of course, was fancy as hell. It was amazing. It felt like my second home, 'I am such a noob, its either just me, or I get impressed to easily.' I quickly fixed my hair and washed my hands and wiped them off the towel.

I turned the silver knob and opened the door, and found my Mother outside waiting for me. "Sweety, the parents liked you very much." She said with a proud smile. I was happy I made a good impression, but what about Noctis?

"That's good.. how about Noctis?", "I'm not sure about that, but he seems to like you." I smiled brightly. "Oh, and you might've not noticed this but when your stomach was growling like an animal, he surely looked like he wanted to have a laugh with you." I felt so dumb - actually, way too dumb when I heard that. I sighed and giggled, "Do you like him, Kayumi?" She asked me.

The truth is I didn't like him, I loved him. "Mom, since I've told you everything from the beginning, I won't hide this from you, I love him already." I spoke blushing a little bit. My Mother pinched my cheeks and started to laugh. "C'mon, lets go back to the living room, that's where we are now.", "But Mother, I've been meaning to go upstairs, Ayumi told me she was waiting for me." She nodded and went.

I walked looking for the nearest set of staircases and I found them soon enough, I had went up the stairs and when I got closer to the entrance, I heard loud talking'That's Ayumi and Noctis, she is probably annoying him.'

I entered and stepped into a room that was circular shaped and had narrow and wide glass windows. I spotted Noctis sitting on a couch with Ayumi, and as soon as the hyper Ayumi spotted me, she ran like a monkey up to me and hugged my leg. "Kayumi! You're here!" I smiled at her, she also loved it when I was around her, "Come sit with Noctis and me!" She said pointing at me. I looked at Noctis and our eyes met.

At that moment I felt we had an instant connection, I smiled at him and knelt down to her height, "Okay Ayumi, just please don't break anything, remember, this isn't your house, it belongs to the King and Queen, okay?" She nodded and hugged me. After she had dragged me and sat me beside Noctis, "A six year old with the power to do anything, great."


"Kayumi.." Noctis said. I almost died because of how he said my name, it sounded so nice. "Y-yes?" I answered stuttering, this is probably the best moment of my life. He stared at Yumi, I guess he didn't want her in the room so I politely told her to go join the others, and to becareful when going down the stairs. "Okay Ayumi, just don't do anything naughty!" she said. I was laughing at her wittiness. Noctis was actually smiling, oh how much I loved his smile. It was so sweet and it made him look so innocent. He turned around to me and said "I need to talk to you." He said, my ears perked up and I gave him my full attention. He got up from the couch and offered a hand to help me up. I smiled and gently gripped his hand and got up. I guess we were gonna walk around this giant wide circular dome.

I noticed he was walking behind me and I was to busy noticing the decorations on the glass. But he eventually caught up to me "Did your parents.. tell you anything earlier this morning?" He asked.

Oh crap. Yep. He knew. All along. I guess it was better than hiding it. I froze in my tracks and felt my cheeks getting bright red. "U-uhm... - "It's okay, you can tell me, I won't hurt you." He said.

"Well, my Mother had woken me up early this morning and told me I was going to meet this person.. and that person is a Prince.." His left eyebrow had raised. "Please, do continue..." He said, in a seductive whisper. "And she said the Prince was the 'one', she said that I would be one day married to this Prince, and that Prince is you, Noctis.." I said, trying to be as brave as I can. I was to nervous right now. I could tell Noctis was blushing he lowered his head a bit. "My Father and Mother had told me the same thing, that I would be meeting a beautiful young girl.." he Noctis said.

I blushed furiously at what he said. An awkward silence, yet again. I felt his finger place itself under my chin to level my eyes with his. Which revealed my now red bright cheeks. "And my parents were right, you are beautiful."

Those words rang a few times in my head, and sealed in my memory. I really truly did love him. "Noctis..." I said, whispering his name. I again turn my head to the side, "T-thank you..." I stuttered. This was my moment, so I had to do it. I had to give him a hug or something. And so I did. I cuddled him, and his reaction was pretty funny and cute.

I could tell he was shocked, and hesitant to what to do next. He just hugged me back awkwardly. Oh how much I loved him. I just didn't have the courage to tell him. He had called me beautiful, but that doesn't necessarily mean he loves me. I'll just wait for the right day. Noctis let go of the hug and I leg go of him. We both smiled and blushed awkwardly to each other. Noctis placed his hand on my shoulder and shook me a bit, "We seriously need to get to know each other." He said, with a to-die-for smirk on his face. I agreed with him, and nodded.

"But for now, lets just stay downstairs with the rest." I said. He agreed and lead the way once again, we went down the flight of stairs, and reached the living room soon enough. All eyes were on us as I sat beside him on the couch. "Where were you guys?" My Father asked. "We were upstairs." I answered honestly. He nodded and yet again, the room was filled the chatter between the two families.

"Prince Noctis! May we explore this house some more? Please, pwetty pwease!" She begged, making a puppy dog face. "Ayumi, what did I tell you earlier on? You might cause trouble and break expensive stuff that don't belong to us." I said explaining. She has been quite the trouble maker when it comes to exploring houses. She would touch anything that looked interesting. "It's alright, whats mine is yours." He said getting up and holding Ayumi's hands to help her walk like a sane person and not fall. I sighed and tagged along. We had already reached upstairs were there were tonnes of rooms beside the circular dome room.

Eventually, Ayumi started to whine, she wanted to see a particular room at first. I saw Noctis kneel down to her height. "Ayumi, your older sister and you are sleeping over tonight, so don't worry." He said, smiling to her. "We're sleeping over?!" I said excited. "Yes, yes you are." Inside my brain, I secretly screamed like some kid who had just gotten a chocolate bar.

Ayumi smiled and hugged Noctis, "Okay Prince Noctis!".
"Noct or Noctis, please." He said. She nodded and we entered our first room.

"This is the guest room, where you two will probably be sleeping tonight." I gasped at how large the room was. 'I am going to have one heck of a beauty sleep..'

And by 10 minutes we got introduced to all rooms on the second floor. Noctis explained that the third floor was mainly the kitchen and of course a few washrooms, and the fourth floor is just some knd of traning room for powers.

"Noctis, do you have powers?" I asked him. He nodded, "I take control of crystals and use them however I want to. How about you?"

"My powers are lame compared to yours, I can take control of Fire and ice." I said. He nodded and told me it was pretty cool, but I don't think i believed him. I was strong when needed to be, but Noctis looked way stronger than me of course.

"Alright, thats the end of the tour." He said, "Happy Ayumi?" She nodded and started dancing like a robot. 'What the hell is wrong with her...' Noctis just smiled and said'Tsk'.

"Uhh Ayumi, you wanna stop dancing and go downstairs now?" I asked her, "NOOO I DON'T WAN- AHHH! IIM FALLING!" Yup, you guessed it, she waa going to trip down the stairs until Noctis quickly grabbed her hand and saved her butt. Thank god he did."Noctis thank you, you just freakin' saved her!" I said worried and hugged Ayumi. "Not a problem, I wouldn't want anybody getting hurt." He said. I would hug him also, but I'd feel awkward...

I held her hand and guided her downstairs towards the living room, and once we reached there, our parents were ready to leave. "Mommy, mommy! Noctis saved my life today!" Ayumi said, pointing a finger at me. My Mom looked at Noctis and gave him a smile. "Haha, thank you, Noctis."

Noctis' reaction was cute. He brang his hand and rubbed the back of his neck while blushing and looking at the side. "Don't mention it." He said. 'Gahh! He is so damn adorably cute!' I thought.

"Well, we're taking off now, it was a pleasure to see you again." My Father said. We said our goodbyes and my Mother and Father left from the Mansion. Ayumi and I are going to spend the night here.

"Well kiddos, have fun." The king said. I nodded and Noctis' parents both went to some room.

It was now Noctis, Ayumi and I, all left alone.
