I Caught Fire in Your Eyes
The blonde blue-eyed general yawned as he surveyed the sight in front of him. It was the traditional festivities thrown for visiting dignitaries. IN this case, it happened to be his liege, the prince of earth. Though he did have to admit that the moon kingdom had certainly outdone them selves.
It was now time for introductions and polite small talk. Jadeite hated this part. Though he knew one his counterparts, Zoisite, loved it. But Jadeite played the dutiful servent. He bowed to the queen and the moon princess. It was as he started bowing to their respective courts that he caught sight of her. She had long black hair and was dressed in a red gown that she would have to hold up when he asked her to dance. And he would be asking her.
Forgetting the rest of the receiving line, he stepped right in front of her. Thanks to his suddenness, Jadeite was able to look directly into her eyes and his soul was set aflame.
"Would you honor me with a dance, princess?" he asked kissing her hand. It was as he led her to the dance floor and everyone staring on at his forwardness that Jadeite knew he would only care about the eyes that filled him with this fire he now felt.
