2 - Love Letter.
Words: 333
"Jadeite, I dare you ..." Endyminion paused in mid-sentence to build up a climax, as the other occupants leaned forward in their seats to hear his challenge.
The four Terran generals and their Prince were playing a round of truth or dare, a game that Endy had learned from the lunar princess. "I dare you to write love letter declaring your utter devotion to the charming Princess of ... Mercury and then leave it in the Princess' chambers." He ended with a flourish.
Both his Martian pride and loyalty to his prince would not allow Jadeite to back away from challenge. The blonde nodded once and then left to pen the said letter. A single pair of eyes stared imploringly at the retreating form, before Zoicite also made his hasty departure.
Game forgotten, Endy redirected his attention to the two remaining occupants of the room. "I do believe you have incurred the wrath of Ice upon Fire and Earth," remarked Nephlite.
"I do not doubt Zoicite's allegiance and I do believe regicide is still a capital offense."
"You are only the Prince of Earth, your highness."
Endy smiled and raised an eyebrow to the suspiciously-silent Kunzite. "You are cruel, Endy, but well-played."
It was unspoken that Zoicite had his eyes set on the Mercurian princess since their first meeting in the library. However, he had made no advances beyond a cursory hello. It was frustrating yet amusing to see. On the other hand, Jadeite made no secret as to his infatuations for the Princess of Mars. By having Jadeite write a love letter to Lady Ami, it will incur the jealousy of both Zoicite who may be incline to step up the challenge, and the fury of Lady Rei which may work in Jadeite's favour. However, Jadeite needed to survive both offensive attacks before he could reap from the rewards.
"Only killing two birds with one stone," replied Endy, "I never dared Jadeite to sign the letter and I certainly didn't specify which princess' chambers."
