This week is so hectic (but all in a good way~)! I have my junior prom tomorrow (hell yeah xD)! and ACT testing on the SAME DAY (seriously who can think up of a brilliant idea like THAT). well i will suck it up and hold my venomous mood for now. Enjoy!

"Wait…princess Fine, I think I need to rest a little…" Bright slumped his back as the couple stepped outside from the "Beef, Pork, Chicken Mmm" restaurant. Bright, himself, did not eat that much meat, but it was filling just watching Fine eat abundance of protein.

Holding her hot minestrone soup, Fine worriedly looked over at Bright, "You didn't have to go along with me. I know it was hard for you to watch me eat all that meat." Fine knew that her appetite was far beyond from average. Her sister always scolded and warned her that she will get fat soon. She didn't care about her sister's warnings, but it was definitely troublesome when people get sick while she was having meal.

Bright smiled weakly at Fine, "Well, what is sadder than a guy going to the Shopping Street alone?"

Fine nodded her head and looked around, "So then which restaurant should we go next?"

The man had a tint of blue in his expression; he had to admit that he couldn't go along with Fine's pace, "Are you going to eat more?"

The girl turned around to look at Bright, her smile was a mixture of mockery, excitement, and apologetic, "I think I need something sweet after a salty meal."

After a few moments of silence, Bright walked down the Shopping Street, "…Then let's go to La Palme D'ore."

"La Pal- what?" Fine was surprised by the sudden offer to the cake shop. Most people would have left her and went to some other place. Not that she wanted to be alone…

Bright suavely escorted Fine as he explained, "It's my favorite cake shop in the Kingdom of Jewelry. They have a chain store in the Shopping Street. I can guarantee the taste."

"Let's go then- woa!" Fine slipped on the icy ground and gravity pulled her to the ground.

"Princess Fine!" Bright launched himself to prevent Fine from hitting the cold ground.

"Are you ok, princess Fine?" Fine instantly opened her eyes and noticed that she didn't hit the ground. The warm arm securely embraced the girl's small body. She unusually felt safe under those arms; almost considered as a national treasure under the cold weather.

A light thump resonated through the girl's heart as Fine gently broke the hug, "I-I'm alright, thanks Bright." Just as when Fine broke the embrace, she noticed the soup stain that was on Bright's coat, "OMG, the soup went on your clothes! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Without giving much care, Bright took out a napkin and started wiping the stain, "It's alright; I don't care much about it. Moreover, I'm glad you are alright."

"…Yeah," Fine just stared at Bright. It was odd of her to be acting in that way, she also didn't know the reason why.

"Princess Fine? Why is your face red?"

The girl quickly turned away from the man and started walking down the street, "N-nothing!"

The girl neither had an inkling of her irrational emotion nor did she know that her sister was secretly watching the whole incident.

Shade stepped outside of the cow shop and looked around for the girl, "Rein? What happened?" Rein was facing her back on Shade.

Shade did not know what was happening, but he heard a low mutter and instantly noticed that something was wrong, "Fine… Bright-sama…" Hearing the two friends' names, Shade turned his head to the other side of the road and spotted the couple walking down the street. In that instant, Rein started dashing through the street.

Shade quickly followed the girl as he broke into a run, "Rein, stop! You're going to slip and fall!"

Just as if the man hit a jackpot, Rein slipped on ice and hit the ground, "Kya!"

Shade rushed towards the snow covered girl, "Rein! Are you ok?"

Rein just sat there with her head slumped down, "….I'm not ok. Not at all." Blood trickled down from her knee and a shade of red dyed on the innocent white snow. Just like the snow, Rein's heart was stabbed and stained in red. The feeling was unbearable and the air tasted like toxic.

Shade quietly stated, "Rein, let me see you're knee…"

"No! Just leave me alone!"

"How can I leave you alone when you are crying so much?" The blue haired man lean down to Rein's injured knee as he started touching the pain with his tongue. The touch was so gentle that Rein forgot the pain for a second.

Rein blushed as she struggled to ask, "W-what are you doing?"

"Tending your knee, what do you think I'm doing?"

The eye contact was too much to bear for the weakened girl as Rein turned her head away from the man, "Don't do that, it's embarrassing. Plus, it's none of your business…"

Shade stopped and looked at Rein; even though she was looking the other way, Rein noticed the straight gaze, "It's my business; I love you so much…." He, then, shifted his position and extended his arm to cuddle the heartbroken girl, "Now, just forget what you saw. It is alright, cry all you want."

Salty drops of tear rolled down from the white skin to the cold snow. The tear slowly melted the snow and made a little visible spot; a sign that marked the sadness in the girl's heart, "….Brigh..t-sama and ….Fine…hic."

"Yup, I know."

Rein gradually loosened her control as more tears and hiccups consumed her, "I…real..ly liked… Bri…ght-sama…"

"I know."

Xoxoxoxoxo

"…Rein?" The blue haired girl was deep asleep, leaning towards Shade's broad shoulders.

A painful smile looked over to the crying princess as Shade tenderly carried her back to the hotel, "Sleep deep; next time you will forget all the bad things that happened…"

And if possible…fall in love with me…because the snow will not last forever…

The blonde haired man closed the door to the Fine's room and spotted Shade at the hallway. Bright just came back from his date with Fine and jubilantly walked towards his friend. Shade did not have the usual nonchalant mood; it was more like a beast ready to prance on its rival, "Bright…"

Bright erased the doubt on his friend's suspicious behavior, he was too much in a good mood to worry about other matters, "Oh hey, Shade. What's up?"

A sudden low baritone shook Bright's mind, "Do you love Fine?"

The strong emotional stare which was almost like a glare, made Bright uncomfortable, "W-well um, yeah."

"Then make your move when Rein is not around. Also, if you ever see Rein sad or crying then don't comfort her, alright?"

Bright can vividly see Shade's words forming as real knives slicing up and confusing the blonde's thought, "Why do you say that all of a sudden?"

Without giving an answer to his friend's question, the man with cold eyes made his question-like demand, "Do you understand?"

"Y-yes…"

The melancholic shade of darkness surrounded the girl's sight. Rein sucked the air and clung to the bed sheet, as if they will protect her from the darkness. She was scared at first, but her eyes eventually adjusted to the blackness of the room and noticed that somebody was besie her, "…Shade?"

Shade was right beside her, sitting on a chair and leaning his upper body on the bed. Rein could feel the warm hands tightly holding her. The girl smiled lightly and gently caressed the silky blue hair, "Thank you Shade…"

"If you really thank me then show your gratitude with action."

Shade's two dark blue orbs silently observed the surprised girl, "S-shade? When were you awake?" Rein immediately took her hand away from him as she felt her face boil.

"From the part when you smiled upon me and said 'thank you, my most beloved prince Shade-sama.'"

"I never said such thing!"

Shade stood up from his chair and stretched his long toned arms, "In my mind you have said that, so it's the truth."

This guy…is so unbelievable!

Shade ignored Rein's dropped jaw and eyes full of unbelief. After a few moments, Rein coughed several times to turn the subject and faced the deceitful man with caution and doubt, "So what do you want me to do?"

Shade smirked and replied, "I want us to go to this certain place."

So the reply for Shade's confession is on hold…ahhh! I really want Rein to say " I luv u, Shade!"! But if I write that right now, it will be abnormal so please wait ( ̄へ ̄|||)
