Isabelle's Reaction

Jack sighed blissfully, lying in his bed, curled up beside his lover. He could definitely get used to this, even if it meant… the rough play every once in a while. He purred happily when he felt a rough, but gentle hand run through his hair and leaned into the touch.

"Good morning, love." Elmont smirked as Jack opened his eyes, a small pleased spark in his bright angel blue eyes.

"G'morning Elmont." Jack replied, still rather tired, and tried to snuggle closer but only ended up whimpering as the captain sat up.

"Hey now, don't pout, it's time to get up." Elmont said, smiling softly. "As much as I would love to sleep in all day with you, we have things we need to take care of today, remember?" Jack frowned at that before nodding as he yawned and sat up. "Good, now get dressed. I will be right back." Jack nodded once more before clambering out of his bed, and the warmth, after Elmont left the room, most likely to his own.

It had been at least a week since Jack admitted to Elmont his feelings and finding out Elmont felt the same. And during that time was both the best and the worst week Jack had experienced; both getting to spend most of his time with Elmont during the day and night, and having to avoid Isabelle's questions and demands.

He was still rather afraid of how Isabelle would react, but they eventually had to tell her and Elmont decided today was going to be the day they did.

"Well, here goes nothing." He murmured to his self, slipping on his clothes for the day before walking out into the hall and to Elmont's room, leaning against the doorway.

"Like what you see?" Elmont teased; pulling his pants up, still shirtless and Jack blushed, but nodded anyway.

After pulling on his shirt, he walked over to the younger male and pulled him close, wrapping his arms around his waist before kissing him gently, pleased when Jack kissed back. "Do we have to do this…?" Jack asked after pulling away, a small frown on his face and Elmont sighed, brushing a few strands of brown hair from the boys face.

"We have to tell her, Jack, she deserves to know about us." He said softly and Jack looked down before nodding.

"Yeah, I know… I just wish we didn't have to." He replied before kissing the captain once more, pulling away and grabbing his hand. "I guess it's now or never, right?" he tilted his head in that adorable way that Elmont loved and he nodded.

"Now or never." He repeated.

Jack gulped nervously as he watched the princess flit through her room, frowning in concentration. "I-isabelle…?" Jack called out nervously and immediately she stopped walking around and turned towards him, blinking in confusion before smiling wide.

"Ah, Jack!" she exclaimed, walking over to him and giving him a big hug. "So glad you came to visit me." She teased and he gave a nervous smile, to which she raised an eyebrow to. "Are you alright Jack, you look pale…" she trailed and he looked down.

Did he really look that nervous? I guess he certainly felt that nervous, but with a small glance back at the doorway where Elmont stood and a reassuring smile from the captain had him gaining confidence.

"I-isabelle, there's something I need to tell you… and it's really important." He said before adding. "Promise me you won't get mad, or yell, or laugh, or… or do anything insulting."

"Uh, alright…" Isabelle was a little confused when he said this, but gave him all her attention, smiling softly at him. "I promise, now tell me what's wrong."

"I... well… I need to tell you the reason why I couldn't accept your proposal…" This gained her interest, but she kept quiet for Jack's sake. "And I guess… you deserve the truth. I couldn't accept it because I really did like someone else… but that someone wasn't a girl like you thought…" he stuttered before biting his lower lip and looking away.

Isabelle stared at him in confusion before looking up and behind him as she saw Elmont come in with a small smirk on his face. "El-" she was shocked when she saw the captain wrap his arms around Jack and hugged him close, the boy smiling softly and looking at the older man with an expression she'd never seen him wear.

"I do believe that what our dear little Jack is trying to say here is that he's hopelessly in love with the finest captain in the entire kingdom." Jack blushed slightly at that before looking back at the princess, smiling nervously.

"Y-yea… E-elmont and I are d-dating…" Jack finished and Isabelle stood there, shocked.

Silence was met with what they said and for a few seconds, Jack began to worry and panic. But all thoughts were erased from his mind as a loud, high-pitched squeak was heard and he was immediately torn from Elmont's embrace and into Isabelle's.

She was surprisingly stronger than she looked, Jack thought bemused and confused, while Elmont smirked.

"Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! I knew it, I just knew you two were going to get together and I was just waiting and waiting and this is wonderful!" Jack's eyes widened at that and he pulled back.

"Wait!? You knew…!? How!?" To say Jack was confused was a complete understatement… he was in fact completely and utterly astonished by the info.

"Well… that fact that the two of you kept giving each other looks and the way that you follow him everywhere like a lost puppy… also… I kind of heard… stuff when walking outside your room one night." She admitted, smiling sheepishly as Jack's entire face went from light pink to bright red in seconds and Elmont burst into laughter.

"Well, that was easier than I thought, eh Jackie?" he grinned, pulling the boy close to him again, satisfied with what the princess said.

"Oh and I have to say one thing, Jack, before you two leave to do whatever," she smirked before smiling softly at him and he returned it, still rosy cheeked. "I'm glad that it was Elmont who was the one you liked, even if it wasn't me." She said truthfully, and Jack's smile brightened.

"Thank you… Isabelle." He replied, leaning into Elmont's embrace. "For everything."
