Chapter 6
Nathan woke up and found himself in the studio. He sat up and looked around the studio. Nothing was out of the ordinary, his paintngs were hanging up to dry. He got up and started to look for his clothing. He was very tired and just wanted to spend the day painting in a quiet studio, all the moving that he did the night before caused him to be very tired and he didn't want to be bothered. He put on his pants and shirt and was getting ready to put on his jacket when he heard a knock at the door. Cursing, he threw down the jacket on the bed and opened the door.
He was greeted by James, who was smiling. He sighed "What is it?"
James stated "Someone is here to see your paintings."
Nathan frowned. He really wanted to be by himself "Can she come at another time? I really want to be alone."
James grinned and tapped his shoulder "You're going to like this. Her majesty, the Princess of Neptune." He stepped back to the doorpost.
What Nathan saw shocked him. A young woman came in through the door and smilled. She had wavy aquamarine hair and green eyes. She was wearing a flowing green dress that complimented her hair "You must be the painter I have heard so much about."
Nathan bowed "Yes I am. Please come in."
The princess walked in the door.
James closed the door behind her.
"Before I go any further, my name is Michiru Kaioh."
"Masuto Nathan at your service." Nathan showed her some of the paintings he finished working on.
'He has exceptional talent' Michiru thought. Her eyes focused on a unfinished painting on an easel. It was a picture of a woman in a green dress. The planet Pluto was superimposed and it was very good.
"Who's is this painting Nathan-san?"
Nathan blushed "It's a picture of the princess. She asked me to do one for her."
Michiru raised an eyebrow "Really?"
Nathan squeaked "Yeah, it was a special request." 'Does she know something?' he thought.
Michiru kept looking at the picture "Please don't lie."
Nathan knew when he was beaten. He went over to the bed and sat down "How do you know?"
Michiru turned around "I have my ways. When did it start?"
"Yesterday."
"Honestly, you can't develop a crush on someone overnight."
"It's been a few months." He lied down on his bed "Yesterday made me realize it when I got stabbed. She took care of me and seemed to be really worried."
"You seem to care about her."
"Yeah." He smiled "She doesn't know that, though. There's a rule that you can't fall in love with the princess. If you do, you'll get fired, or worse."
"Who told you this?"
"The bulter."
Silence reigned in the studio for a moment. Nathan was looking at the ceiling while Michiru was looking at the paintings.
"The rule can't be true, can it?"

Haruka knocked on the door. 'You said you wanted to talk to me, Sets where are---'
Her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened, a hand shot out and yanked her inside. She stumbled to make sure she didn't fall "How subtle Sets-chan."
"I'm sorry Haruka-chan. I wanted to make sure no one saw you."
Haruka rubbed her chest "I hope there's no mark. What's so important that you didn't want anyone except me to know?"
Setsuna sat down on her bed "I think I'm in love."
Haruka raised an eyebrow "You think you're in love?"
Setsuna nodded "I need your help on how I should deal with it."
Haruka shrugged and sighed "Anything to help a friend. Who's the lucky guy?"
"The painter that we hired."
"Is he cute?"
"Aren't you gay?"
"Just answer the question."
Setsuna sighed "Yeah, I'm try not to melt when he looks at me."
"Does he know?"
Setsuna shook her head. "Although he melted when I kissed him on the cheek."
"Tell him how you feel. See if he likes you back."
"There's a rule that workers can't fall in love with their boss."
"It doesn't apply to you. You're the boss. You make the rules, you can break them."
"Really?"
"Go for it. You have nothing to lose."
"Thanks for the advice."
Haruka waved her arm "No problem." A grin started to form on her face "You know, if the guy likes you and you go out with him, you'd be robbing the cradle."
Setsuna threw a pillow at Haruka "Shut up."
A/N: I was very close to writer's block when I wrote this. I never thought that I was going to go so far with this.
Eudial: Don't worry. You deserve a rest.
