Nervous. He played with his fingers, he couldn't think straight, the letter from two days ago was on his mind. He couldn't stop thinking about Lady Elizabeth her white reminded him of snow, her eyes of roses and her face was so cute to cute. It was as if someonce casted a love spell on him and the only thing he could do was imagining her and only her.
In that moment Kannon ran down the stairs, hiding next to a cabinet. Pheonix looked over at him, confused, "Um..." he wanted to say something but Kannon shushed him immediatly.
"Um... what are you doing?" He was curious and ignored Kannon, he really wanted to know what was happening. "Be quiet," he said, "I may have done something I shouldn't and she's not really happy so please be quiet." he nervously smiled. Then the letter came to mind, he carefully opened the drawer on his desk and threw the letter towards Pheonix. It landed on the floor in front of him.
"Read it and be quiet." he said while he slid down onto the ground.
"Um...ok, thanks, good luck." he took the later and sat down again, he opened it and started reading, his hand trembled. His heart ached from all the feelings as he read the letter;
'Dear Pheonix, Talk to me. Explain your feelings, please. I don't understand them that well, make me return them. Sincerely, Lady Elizabeth Hichiro.'
He was staring at the Letter, he was about to dash out but he didn't do it. He didn't know where she was, or even what he was going to tell her. He leaned back again.
"And? what does it say?" Kannon asked him, still sitting in the corner, playing with his shirt.
"She wants me to explain my feelings, to make her return them." he said, still looking at the letter. "Ah..." he started, "She should be around here, actually. If I remember correctly, that is."
He turned his head quickly, "Really? Where?" he asked.
"I don't know, I just saw her outside when I went upstairs earlier this morning." he explained, pulling on his own shirt, standing up and leaning against the wall. "YOu really need to calm down before you go to her though, has trained servants that will keep her safe at all times."
"You're right, I'm gonna change my clothes and then I'll look for her!" he laughed, scratching his neck. "True. Bathrooms over there, don't touch my stuff." he point at the end of the Hallway. "Ok, i won't touch anything, I promise." he grabs his bag and make shis way towards the Bathroom. Elise finally came downstairs, "Kannon?"
"Yes?" He answer
"There you are," she said, walking around the corner. "Don't run away like that."
"You were angry at me, " he scratches his neck.
"It was my fault, so don't run away, idiot!" she said not even looking at him.
"Say that to my face, please?" he told her, his voice sounded voice.
"Ah..." she started, she looked up at him to see a smile. It was warm and calm, different form the normal smiles he shows, "I-I..."
"Yes?" he crossed his arms. "Oh gosh..." she blushes, "Stop looking so good Idiot! I-I am losing my composure!" she almost yelled buts he managed to hold back. He laughed, "What? Oh god Elli, what are you talking about?" he asked her, not being able to stop laughing.
"I...I. oh stop." she yells and startd pouting, "You're stupid." she crossed her arms.
"Elli, you're funny today, all that blushing is actually pretty cute." he smiled as Pheonix came back. "Wait..." he said, "Are you guys-" he couldn't even finish his sentence as Elise kicked him in the shin. His eyes widen, "W-what did I do to deserve this?" he asked her with a pained voice and fell to the ground. "You walked in on me being embarrased because of L-Love!" she yelled, blushing heavily. "B-But it's not my fault!" he declared, rubbing his leg carefully.
"Gosh, Elli. Don't be so fierce, amkes my herat beat faster. Better stopif you're so embarrased." he laughed. "Ah-ah..." she stuttered, blushing even more. She hides her face.
"Next time, don't kick me in the shin. That hurts a lot." Pheonix said.
"I can't deal with you today, Kannon. What is wrong with you, you weren't this... this I don't know how to even explain your behaviour!" she yelled, hiding her face even more.
-knock, knock-
Someone was at the door.
"Pheonix can you get it?" Kannon asked him, "Yeah, of course." he started going towards the door. He opened it slowly and looked at the Love of his life, his Heart skipped a beat and he couldn't believe it. Kannon decided to bug Elise more with the unusual behavior that he showed today, he touched her cheeks and pulled them slightly, a smile on his face.
"Um... I am sorry to bother you Pheonix-san." she bows down a little as a form of Apology. "It's okey, Lady Elizabeth!" he blushed, "What is happening?" he screams inside his head, everything makes no sense to him anymore, it's as if the world is upside down.
"Good morning Lady Elizabeth" Kannon smiles, he picks Elise up and wlaks towards the front door. "Ah," she gasps, "Good morning Kiyoshi-san!" she smiles a little. He lets Elise down, she doesn't even move and inch, all she does is blushing ans silently humming to herself. "I-Is she alright?" Elizabeth asks him. He nods, "Yeah, I may have done too much." laughter escapes him as he thinks about his actions, it amused him to see her blush and not knowing what she should do. He liked it, more than he thought he would. Elizabeth giggled, she looks over to Pheonix, a smile on her lips. "Are you still there?" she asks him, kicking hi out of his Dream world, "Y-yeah, I am here!" he says. He begins thinking again, "Why are you so cute when you laugh and how do you know Kannon?" Elizabeth shaked Kannon's hand and greeted him correctly, "Good morning Kiyoshi-san, it is nice to see you again. I aplogize for coming yb so suddenly, but I thought he might be here." she pointed at Phoenix and smiled again. "That's okey." Kannon asnwered, putt his arm around Elise, before she could walk away, "Stay here."
"And I don't think we have met yet." she opened her arms towards Elise, "Nice to meet you, I am Elizabeth Hichiro." she smiled. "ah... that's it I am going to die." Pheonix couldn't stand this anymore but he stood strong and didn't give up. "Ah..." Elise started, her voice was quivering slightly. "I-I am Elise Charlotte Tsukiyo, I-I can't... too much flirting... is that right.. I don't know." she stutters, putting her hands in front of her face.
"Flirting?" she asked confused.
"That may be my fault, I am messing with her." Kannon whispers to Elizabeth, smiling slightly.
She giggled. "May I ask something?" Pheonix asked, making everyone look at him.
"Ah, yes. What is it Pheonix-san?" she asked, he gulped.
"H-How do you two know eachother?" he asked a little confused.
Elizabeth giggled, "It's quite easy actually, My mother knows him, so I met him a lot when I was younger." she explained. Kannon nodded, "Moeka knows me through , she said she's part of my Family, but I don't really believe that." he laughs a little then stops.
A little sadness could be seen on his face, as if he remembered something he tried forgetting for so long. Elise slapped herself a little and turned around, she decided to comfort him, to show him some affection like he did the whole time. She hugs him, he puts his hand on her head. "Hey, everything alright, Elli?" he asked her, she nods slightly, "Yeah..."
Elizabeth turns to Pheonix, "Tell me, what you feel. In a way that i understand."
Pheonix panicked slightly, he slaps himself and coughs a little. "I fell in Love with you, I can't explain you exactly why. It's just everything about you, I guess." he tells her, with newfound confidence. She blushes and panics a little,"Um... Really?" she asks him, he nods.
"Ah...You're so nice... show me, how much you love me."she says, not thinking about what she said, she blushes heavily and looks at him.
It was as if all the stress and anxiousness inside his head disappeard and only confidence remained. He walked closer to her, putting his hand on her cheeks, he did the only thing he could think of; Kissing her. It was a sweet and desire filled kiss, he didn't mind the others watching, this was his moment. Elizabeth was shocked at first but she gave in, she began to like it. They seperate form the kiss and Pheonix puts their foreheads together, "Does this show you how much I love you?" he said with a smile on his lips. She couldn't think straight, she didn't think he'd actually kiss her or anything, she thought he'd hug her. "ah," she began, "I-I... a-ah..." she stuttered, she couldn't even get a sentence together.
He smiled at her, " This is how I show my Love."
"H-he ki-kissed me and I-I l-liked it?" she thought in a slight panic, she gave a brief hug to Pheonix without looking at him. Kannon grinned at her, "That's your fault, you made him do that." he whispered to her, making sure the others don't hear. "I-I... ah... I don't know." she answered, she still didn't know what to do. It was her first kiss, she never had one before, she didn't she'd get it from someone she just met a few days ago. She walked a few steps away, hiding her face with her sleeves. "This is..." Elise started, "good...? I am not sure. Are you allowed to kiss whoever you want...?" she asked her, slight confusion and worry in her voice.
"I don't... B-but I liked it and I feel weird..." Beth whispered, she was very embarrassed and couldn't speak loud without squealing like a little girl.
"I-I understand that...I am not sure anymore." Elise whispered back, looking around the room and softly pinching her wrist, "I want it to stop and to never end..."
"Y-you too...?" Elizabeth asked her with a confused expression on her face.
She nodded, "Especially since he acts weird now... at least in my opinion." Elizabeth stared at her, she tried to understand what she meant with 'weird'. "I am not weird, just so you know. It just seems weird to you Elli because you know you aren't allowed to do any of this, so are technically panicking...?" Kannon said, he crossed his arms and stepped forward a little.
"I am not allowed to do it but it was n-nice." Elizabeth said getting silent towards the end.
Pheonix couldn't hold back much longer, "Do you love me now?" he aske dher with any second thought. She stepped back, shocked to the sudden question, "I um... I don't know... Isn't it a bit soon?" she answered, confused she looked at her feet. "I wouldn't say that! They, " he points at Elise and Kannon, "Have like met at the same time and already slept in one bed, as far as I noticed it and they kissed. And now he's , like, flirting...?" he explains, overflowing with confidence. "But... Um eh..?`" she really couldn't speak she was on the edge of crying but she was stronger than that, still now words would come to her it was like she had a knot in her tounge. "You are an Idiot, aren't you?" Kannon asked, "I know Elise for much longer than that, it wasn't very surprising, to be honest. And don't get me wrong, I really don't understand why I even try, she always liked me, for some reason and so it was only a matter of time.. it was techinically my fault it took a lot of fucking, sorry for my language, time." he shook his head. Elise's face was bright red and she was close to crying, she tried her best to hold them back.
"Kannon... I think they are going to c-" before he could finish his sentence he could hear sobbing next to him, Elizabeth's eyes were full of tears. He hated seeing her like this and tried comforting her, but she ran out of the room. "Lady Elizabeth...!" he yelled after her, "I did the most idiotic thing, right?" he asked but he already knew the answer.
At that moment, Elise started crying too, she sar down on the floor and cried. "The thing is, you were a little too confident right there, Pheonix. Leave her alone for now and think of a good way to apologize, remember she was raised to be 'Friendly' and 'Innocent', Kissing around and falling in love wasn't on the plan, especially not so suddenly." he explained in a calm way.
"I am a huge idiot, i was too excited and I've ruined it all... I am going to my room and think of something." he said and left Elise for Kannon to handle. He went to his room and sat on his bed and stared at the ceiling. "I am really and idiot, I fell in love too fast..." he mumbled.
Lady Elizabeth went to the small house her family had in this city, she was laying on her bed, touching her lips. "It felt weird... soft... and nice but still...I don't understand." she was thinking about it just like he was thinking about her. She was slowly developing feelings for him, for this weird red headed boy. She didn't understand anything anymore. She decided to write a letter for her father and one for Pheonix.
"Elli, are you okey?" Kannon knealed down on the ground, in front of her. She nodded, "I think..." she whispered softly. He smiled at her, putting his hands on her shoulder, pulling her into a hug. "You're acting weird... i don't like it..." Elise said as she wiped her tears with his shirt. He pressed her against himself, comforting her.
