It had only been two hours since the prince had arrived, but it felt like two years. All Luka wanted to do was deny the fact that she was in love. Love was stupid. Love was for losers. She wouldn't let her heart be broken by anybody. Until she considered the fact that in six months she would have to marry this guy, and she would be princess, or whatever they do there. Luka just sat there and did nothing but hide her own blush. This was ridiculous! She couldn't be falling for the son of such a cold-hearted man. Like father, like son.
"So, Luka, what do you like to do for fun?" came prince Gakupo's voice. Luka's mind didn't want to reply, but her mouth did.
"Usually I just read and sometimes watch a bit of anime here and there," she replied. Gakupo walked over and sat down beside her, making her heart beat even faster.
"You're lucky. I have to tend to the garden, all kinds of royal bullshit." Gakupo replied.
"Your highness, watch your French!" Luka exclaimed. Gakupo laughed.
"Please, just call me by my normal name. Gakupo." he said. Luka could feel her face burning. Just deny, she thought. Luka Megurine, you are NOT falling in love. Deny... Deny...
"Luka, dear?" came the voice of Luka's mother. She jolted back into reality.
"Yes, mother?"
"The king is leaving, please, do say your goodbyes and give him a bag of those freshly picked raspberries from the garden," her mother replied. Luka nodded and did as she was told.
-AFTER LE KING LEAVES-
I can't take this anymore, Luka thought. I can't deny love forever! She had to tell him. Had to tell the prince her feelings. She had to tell him.
"Gakupo?" she called. The prince walked down the hall from his room.
"What is it?" he asked.
"C-Can I talk to you?" Luka replied. Gakupo nodded and came to Luka's room. "There's something I want to tell you." Gakupo scooted closer to hear. Suddenly, Luka didn't know what gave her the courage to do it, she pulled Gakupo in, and kissed him!
