Raenef's POV

Yay! Eclipse isn't mad at me! Plus, he's going to help him lessen the gap between un-nobles and nobles! I think… the ball will be quite spectacular… though – how do I go about hosting a ball? I've never been to one before in my life let alone hosted one; but I somehow manage to smile because with Eclipse's assistance I'm sure it'll be a breeze!

Heh… I guess enough dilly-dallying around for the moment… Eclipse wants to tutor me in fencing again. I think he's quite brave especially after I almost turned him into a shish kebab in our first lesson!

At the thought of that lesson I feel myself tinge pink in embarrassment and guilt; and he notices this. He steps closer to me in a concerned fashion and places a hand to my forehead. "You're quite hot Lord Raenef, would you like to go lie down?"

The redder I go. Doesn't he know how much of a bad innuendo that sounds! I know he doesn't mean it like that… but – but… I still can't help but blush all the more! What am I meant to say to that! I try to talk anyway… but my throat's too constricted! Great what am I meant to do now!

Oh Eclipse… if only you knew how I felt for you; you would know why not to say things like that in front of me… unless you mean it. Not that I think you ever will… but hey – I guess you can't be shot for hoping, right? But still – he's my teacher for goodness' sake! Isn't love forbidden between teacher and pupil? So still… even if there was something between us – which there isn't – it'd still be counted as wrong, right?

Heavily I sigh at my foreboding thoughts… what am I meant to do now?

Play dumb I guess.

So smiling like the ditz that he thinks I am, I try to look him in the eyes… but – I gasp; he's smiling! Oh my god Eclipse is smiling at me!

Oh no! My face is burning up! I can't even look at him and I feel like a tomato on fire! This is not good! Oh great! Now he must think I'm a total and utter dork! I hear him call my name once more, and I turn to him, fervently trying to make my flush subside… but it's not working! Great! I think I'll die blushing at him!

"Lord Raenef…" he whispers, his voice… it's so soft, so seductive. I gulp. "Lord Raenef…" he leans in to kiss me. Oh please… please don't stop…

"Lord Raenef it's time to get up!" that voice sounds like the normal, agitated Eclipse! Instantly my eyes flick open and I'm faced with the handsome man crouched upon the edge of my bed – ready to shake me to wakefulness… and that's when I go full-blown red.

Oh. Dear. God. I'm dreaming about Eclipse.

"Uh… uh Eclipse – wh-what are you doing in my room?" I try to say with as less stutters as possible, but that just can't be done, his eyebrow quirks with quiet amusement.

"To wake you my Lord, for Lady Leeche requests and audience with you," I stare at him dumbfounded. Leeche? Little eight-year-old Leeche? (sorry don't know how old Leeche actually is so I'm just guessing! ¦sweatdrops and smiles apologetically¦ Has ten years gone that quickly or couldn't she wait?

Ah… too many thoughts. My head hurts. I shake my head to try and clear it, but to no avail. Groggily I nod and proceed to tumble out of bed. "I – I'll be there in a minute," but no sooner had I finished the sentence, a sudden shadow loomed behind Eclipse and a sudden:

"RAENEF!" resounded throughout the castle walls.

"Sorry my Lord, but she refused to wait," he replies somewhat apologetically, and I sweatdrop as Leeche bounds up to squeeze me. Help! I can't breathe!
