A/N: Glad you all liked the first chapter. ^.^ It's going to be very cute!
Since Nagihiko's room wasn't far from hers, he came quickly. He looked as though he had been sleeping, but he was still in costume. He almost always was. One time Rima had let him put on normal clothes, just to see how he looked, and he looked great. For once she didn't see him as the Jester, but as a normal person. She still liked it when he was the Jester, though.
"Oh... Were you sleeping? I didn't mean to interrupt," Rima said, looking guilty.
Nagihiko just shook his head. "Anything for Rima-chan!"
Rima smiled and plopped down on her bed. "Come sit beside me."
Nagihiko obeyed her order. "How may I help you, princess?"
Rima stretched out on her bed and stared at the ceiling, as if expecting the answer to show up there. "Let's see.... You could... Tell me how I'm not the only princess that hasn't found a prince." His stories always made her feel better. She liked it when they were centered around her.
"Oh, I'm sure you're not, Rima-chan," Nagihiko said, giving her a reassuring smile.
Rima grabbed his arm and pulled him down so he was beside her. She felt safe beside him.
Nagihiko didn't mind; he didn't ever disobey her. As long as it made her happy. She made him happy, too.
"Tell me how I won't be forced to be with a prince," Rima said, closing her eyes.
Nagihiko wished he could tell her that, but he truthfully wasn't sure. "I'm sure you'll get to do whatever you like, Rima-chan."
Rima opened one eye. She wondered what she would do if her father made her be with a prince. "I sure hope you're right, Nagi."
He smiled. He liked it when she called him that, even though he didn't dare call her anything besides princess and Rima-chan. It was already unfit for a Jester like himself to be spending so much time with such a fine princess.
Silence took over, letting both of them enjoy the peace and quiet. Usually when they were together, they talked and laughed, but savoring the moment of silence was just too peaceful.
Getting sick of the silence, Rima sat up. "What should we do now, Nagi?"
"Whatever you want to do, Rima-chan," He shrugged.
Rima sighed, at least wanting some suggestions. Sometimes she hated it when he just agreed with her on everything and anything. It made her feel conceited and snobby, like some princesses.
They didn't leave Rima's room a lot, just for fear of her father seeing them and growing suspicious. Even if Rima's father wasn't around, there was almost always servants and maids crawling around the kingdom.
"Wanna go outside?" Rima asked, even though she knew he would just simply agree.
Nagihiko nodded. "Fine with me."
The two got off the bed and went to the backyard. No one was there at the moment. It was a big garden. It had a huge fountain in the middle of the paradise, and there were flowers planted everywhere. They were all different colors. Rima loved this place because it was so calming. She liked to bring Nagihiko with her, too.
Rima was on the ground, looking up at the clear blue sky. It was a pretty day to be out and about.
Nagihiko sat beside her and also glanced up at the sky, but quickly looked away due to the blinding rays of the sun. "You shouldn't look up for too long, princess."
Rima leaned against Nagihiko. "Don't worry about me," She said softly. She actually loved it when he worried about her. It showed her he really cared. That he didn't just want to be with her because she's rich or anything, but that he truly cared.
"Oh, please don't think me disrespectful, princess, but I could never stop worrying," Nagihiko said, smiling at her.
Rima knew he couldn't and wouldn't. He was far too kind. Rima couldn't think of one thing she disliked about him. He was perfect to her. His long, straight hair.. His eyes similar to hers, although she thought his were nicer. His great personality.... She could go on and on.
Nagihiko couldn't help but stare at Rima. Her soft blonde hair looked luscious. Her eyes looked sweet. Her expression looked soft and caring. He could never think of her as mean. But it wasn't right for a Jester to stare at royalty. He wouldn't dare to spend so much time with her if it didn't please her so much. He always seemed to put a smile on her face, even though he sometimes thought his jokes weren't funny or entertaining. She thought differently.
Rima yanked Nagihiko down onto the ground playfully, attempting to pin him down. She was weak, no doubt, but she knew he wouldn't resist.
Nagihiko laughed at her silliness. She never acted like this infront of others, so he noted this as a good thing.
Rima picked some white flowers and arranged them into Nagihiko's fine colored hair. "They're pretty!" She exclaimed happily.
"I think they'd look much better in your own, princess," Nagihiko said, taking one and placing it gently in her hair.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle with delight. "We both look good with flowers in our hair. Just another thing we have in common, I guess."
They had quite a few things in common. Their love for jokes, their eyes, their long hair, and they both looked stunning with flowers in their hair.
When it was getting dark, they decided it was time to go inside.
"Today was really fun! We got to spend a lot of time together," Rima said, sitting on her bed.
"I'm glad I could make your day fun, Rima-chan," Nagihiko smiled, actually quite tired.
Rima nodded. "As soon as we go to sleep, the more time we'll get tomorrow!"
Nagihiko chuckled. "I'm glad you're so excited. I'll see you tomorrow, Rima-chan."
Rima watched as he left. She sighed with happiness, and hugged her pillow. "I can't wait till tomorrow! We'll have even more fun tomorrow!" She felt like an idiot for talking to herself, but it was amusing.
Thinking of things they could do tomorrow, the exhausted princess fell into a deep sleep.
A/N: Well, that was kind of fluffy, wasn't it? Review and tell me what YOU think! That's right! You! Hey, you! Yeah you!!!
