reflections & revelations [YANN]

[séraphine s. of luxembourg]

After a two week break in Luxembourg it felt nice to be back at the Brown University campus. Sera sat idly on her couch curled up in a blanket watching the sleet fall outside of her window. There wasn’t really anything good on television and she didn’t feel like getting up to put in one of the dvds that she had already seen a billion times. She looked down at herself and frowned when she realized she was still in her pajamas at nine in the morning. Normally she would’ve been happy to sleep in on a day off, but for some reason she woke up at her usual time when she had class. It was too early to go down to the cafeteria and grab food because most of the students were still off campus for break. Plus she didn’t feel like trudging through the disgusting weather out there. It was bad enough that she had to walk through it when she got back from her trip. Sera had chosen to come in a little earlier than the normal dorm student would for a holiday, but that was because she couldn’t handle being at the palace for another day. Her parents had been getting on her nerves about the gala and their constant question of why she wasn’t there started to annoy her. In reply to that question she would always say that she was there and wearing a red dress. Their next question was if her story was true, who was her mystery date. At that Sera would smirk and walk away which didn’t help her attendance cause. Sera stretched, sat up and contemplated doing some yoga. Yoga usually seemed to help clear her mind, so she decided to try it today. She yawned as she crossed the short distance between her bedroom and the living room. Once inside she pulled on an outfit including the jacket she had stolen from Yann and brushed the bed head out of her hair. As she put the dvd into the player her thoughts began to fall back on Yann. There were so many things that had happened the last two weeks that she didn’t really know what to think. She started with the feelings she got when she was in his arms. It was the greatest feeling to be held by him and she constantly found herself wanting to stay there forever. This feeling was certainly not the newest, she had experienced similar when she had dated X. It was certainly a feeling of attachment, but she wasn’t really sure if it was something that matched what she felt for a boyfriend or for a friend. The voice of a cheerful woman introducing the video broke her from her thoughts and she stood back from the television ready for the random poses. While she started the palm tree pose Sera’s mind wandered back to Yann and the kiss. Her mind replayed the moment she had told him she loved him and his response still brought a large smile to her face.

Then her mind focused on the kiss or kisses for that matter and she practically fell over when she lost her balance. A laugh escaped her because as her thoughts of kissing Yann threw her off balance, so did kissing him in person. His response to her was more than welcome and she only wished that she could coax that out of him again and again. Just then she remembered her conversations she had had with Bella and X and she realized that she wanted more than just the princess/bodyguard relationship though it was really more like a best friend kind of relationship. She was going to have to ask him if he was willing to take their relationship to the next level. God the thought of him being her boyfriend made her giddy. And that was it; she needed to settle this now. Sera retrieved her phone and left Yann a voicemail only to get a reply back from him almost immediately. A smile came onto her face as she set her phone back down on the coffee table and went back to yoga. Now she had to figure out how she was going to start this attempt of asking him out without making him want to leave the room. Yann liked to follow the rulebook when it came to working for her parents. Not that she blamed him, but still, it made matters a little more difficult at times. What if he were to decline her offer? Then things would be a little awkward between them and she didn’t want that, but what if he said yes? What would her parents think or say? There was no way she was going to let them take Yann’s job away if they disapproved. He hadn’t crossed the line, she had and she was more than willing to admit it. The woman’s voice once again broke her thoughts and she turned the television off. She was finished with yoga for the day and decided to search her fridge for breakfast. As she rummaged through the fridge she found vitamin water and set that on the counter. Then finding nothing worth eating, Sera searched the freezer and smiled when she found a pint of ice cream. That was it, she needed no persuasion. Her breakfast would comprise of ice cream and water. Not the best breakfast and she was sure Yann would comment knowing that she was on a health kick. Which meant she was going to have to find some way to convince him that ice cream was healthy. She smirked, Yea good luck with that one. Sera took a seat on one of the stools facing the kitchen and began to eat her breakfast. It was a good thing her roommate wasn’t there because she was sure the girl would have no problem stealing the pint away from her.

He’d basically been doing nothing at all when he got Séra’s message. Because they’d come back to Brown earlier than most everyone else, he had the room to himself and he could sleep in for once in his life. Not that his body was giving him the luxury, it kicked him to high gear at his usual hour and he groaned when he saw the time on the digital alarm clock. Damnation. Rolling over and trying to sleep again was useless; once he woke up, Yann was unable to fall back asleep unless someone actually came and knocked him out, but given that he was probably one of the few well-built scholars here at Brown, well, chances od that happening were pretty slim on his end. He didn’t know what to do with himself now that he was awake though. Sera was probably going to sleep in as well, so he was free until she texted him. Which meant that he had absolutely nothing to really DO. Yann sighed and got out of bed, deciding that first thing was first. He took a shower and stood there for five minutes, allowing the water to run over his body for a while without thinking about anything else. But his allotted time was up soon and he was out again, towelling himself dry and fishing some clean, fresh clothes to wear out of his closet and drawers. Humming a tune to himself, he finally caved in and put some music on. With his roommate out – probably doing the usual rounds on the corridors – Yann could afford to be loud. Humming along further, he hunted himself breakfast, which consisted of cereal and an orange. He thought that was the healthiest he’d eaten in a while, and knew Séra would have laughed her head off if she only knew about it. Speaking of. He had just been working his way through a pile of books that had been precariously stacked on one end of his table when his phone buzzed for a voicemail. Checking it over, he frowned, immediately replying with a text and grabbing his jacket on the way out. That was weird of her and it sent his adrenaline running, because honestly, who spoke like that anymore? Not normal people under normal circumstances.

Her answering text calmed him a little bit and he took a deep breath. Basically, ever since two weeks ago, Yann was pretty much on edge all the time. Why? First off it was about Sven. He had gone to his father the morning after the gala and gave him what Séra had told him, leaving Simon speechless, for the first time in over twenty years probably. But as predicted, Sven didn’t last one hour longer on his position, because instead of actually playing along with whatever plan he’d put in motion, he went about it in such a way that it was undisputable that he had done what Séra had told Yann about. But he had kept his promise and hadn’t gone to her parents, Simon just made it seem as though Sven had done all he could for the family and was being relocated to another position. A position in hell, if Yann knew his father well enough. That was one thing of course. The other? Well, the other was of a more personal nature. Yann could still vividly remember the feel of Séra’s lips against his, and her body stretched out beside him. It made his heart race, and he didn’t think he needed any more excitement in his life right now. He knew he had crossed a line back there, and he also knew that she had wanted him to. But was it the right thing to do? He couldn’t go to his father for advice, that much was certain. And he couldn’t go to anyone else right now really. He was on his own, and he didn’t know how Séra felt about it either. For two weeks, things had basically been pretty tense what with the Sven deal going on and that fiasco underway. Now? Now he didn’t know what to expect as he jogged up the steps in her dorm building to reach her room. Her roommate was thankfully gone for now so he didn’t have to worry about her at all, which meant they’d be alone. Yann wasn’t sure whether he was happy about it or not. Hell, he wasn’t sure whether he was okay with this new development or not, who knew what could happen? Her parents would skewer him alive if they knew he’d put his hands on their only daughter. Yann also didn’t know how Simon would take the news, his father had been the one that instilled the duty before anything else thing into him in the first place. So yeah, he was pretty messed up about it all, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t do his duty when it called to him. Reaching Séra’s dorm room, Yann took a breath and knocked twice, knowing she had to be in there somewhere if she wanted him to come meet her at once. He didn’t know what she was up to, but she’d tell him soon enough, that much was certain enough.

Sera couldn’t remember the last time she had ice cream. While she was in Luxembourg she found herself treated to all of the fresh fruit she could ask for and she wasn’t one to complain. The variety the palace kitchen was able to serve to her was something she would never get at Brown and she was smart enough to enjoy it while she could. For some reason she had a feeling that the last time she actually had ice cream was when she visited X and he just so happened to have her favorite. A smile worked its way onto her lips as she brought her first spoon of the treat to her mouth. Just then there was a knock at her door and she immediately knew who it was. Yann was very good at getting to her quickly and she was very thankful for that. Sera stood and walked to the door with a slight skip in her step. She opened it to see her favorite person standing there and she smiled as she opened the door further to allow him entry. Hey there stranger. I hope you have nothing planned for today because I plan on keeping you here for the rest of the day. She said cheerfully as she shut the door behind them and then headed back over to her breakfast. Picking up the pint she took another couple of bites before she said, For future reference, you don’t have to knock. You’re more than welcome to just walk in. I mean you practically spend most of your time here anyways. Sera was tempted to just ask him to room with her because her roommate would be leaving after this semester and that meant she would have to search for another roomie and all of the security checks that went into all of that would take her guards forever. She didn’t want them to have to go through all of that again when she had the perfect idea for her new roommate. Plus he wouldn’t need a background check because he was already working for her anyways. Now the trick would be convincing him and the rest of her guard to allow it. First she’d have to ask Yann though because his answer would be key to everything. So I wanted to talk to you about something, she started and then stood to put the rest of her ice cream back in the freezer. As you know my roommate will be leaving after this semester and I’ll need to find a new roommate. Well, I was thinking that instead of looking for somebody that you could stay with me instead. I think I’d feel a lot safer here if you did. Sera was using the safe card on him again and she felt bad doing that, but it usually helped to tip the odds more in her favor.

Her gaze fell to Yann and she gave him a soft smile as she crossed the room to meet up with him. Now she needed to pluck up the courage to ask him to be her boyfriend. The roommate thing seemed so much simpler now compared to what she was going to have to ask him. Here she couldn’t play the safe card; she had told him that she loved him and she had to go with what her heart was telling her. There was no convincing, he either would accept her offer or decline it. I also wanted to talk to you about what happened at the gala. She said and reached for his hand. As she looked into his eyes she got nervous, not that he would see it, but she wasn’t ready to ask him out just yet. I wanted to thank you for…everything. You know, with the Sven issues. I take it he’s gone? Sera hadn’t noticed him lurking around like he usually was when she was back at Luxembourg. She still had that eerie feeling whenever she was alone, but at least she wasn’t seeing him in the shadows like she usually did. So, you wanna watch a movie or something? I just feel like bumming out all day. What she really wanted was for him to hold her. Back at home the night of the gala that was all she was looking for and when she finally got it, she didn’t want him to let her go. And what made her happier was that he stayed with her all night like he had promised and she fell asleep in those strong arms. That was something she wanted to do for the rest of her life and she couldn’t believe she had just admitted that to herself. She was supposed to be this free spirit, but whenever she was with Yann she felt like she could be more than that and was willing to tie herself down for him. Yanni…I know this is going to sound…odd, but what I really want right now is for you to hold me. Ever since the gala I’ve walked around and felt like something was missing and I think I finally figured out what it is. Sera gave him a small smile looked down momentarily and sighed as she leaned against him. She was content just to listen to his heart beat and the slow intake of his breath. Her eyes closed of their own accord and she snaked her arms around his waist. I’m being ridiculous…aren’t I?

He heard her coming to the door and pushed away from the doorway to stand straighter when she opened it, but he was unable to curb the smile of greeting that made its way across his lips. She was just so adorable it made his heart ache. Regardless of what had happened after the gala, Yann was a bit uncertain as to whether it had been because of her jumbled emotions and the Sven mess, or something else. Still, he never would be able to resist her. It was impossible. Stranger huh? he asked playfully as he stepped into the room and made sure the door was safely closed behind him. Yann could never step out of the bodyguard shoes, not entirely at least. He shook his head at Séra, I kind of cleared my schedule the moment I heard your voicemail. I figured it had something to do with you kidnapping me for the day. It was easy to joke around with her like this, almost too easy even. But it came like second nature to him and he wasn’t about to just stop. Eyeing her as she sat back down and noticing what she was eating, Yann couldn’t help but frown. Is that breakfast? So much for healthy lifestyle. His attention was distracted towards what she was saying about knocking, and he shook his head. Typical Séra. I kind of want to make sure I don’t get a heart attack when I come in here and find you in your lingerie. It was a standing joke between them and he was getting better at appreciating it, though he would still probably look away if he ever saw her like that. Better never than even once, at least in his honest opinion. Okay, shoot, he commented when she spoke again, and he took a seat. He had a feeling it would be a long question and besides, she’d said he was going to be here for a while. No use in standing then, if he was going to be camping in her room today it seemed.

Her request caught him a bit by surprise, mostly because he really hadn’t been expecting it and secondly, well, Yann had a feeling there would be a LOT of trouble where that came from. But she did have a valid point – he could be more sure of her safety if he was actually here. And this way, also, they would only have to worry about one dorm room instead of two. There were a lot of good options from this, but he was also sure that, if his father didn’t get to him first, her father was going to kill him. You to realize that even if I wanted to, there’d be a hell of a lot of explaining to do to your parents? he commented out loud, musing softly, I can see your point and really ... it’ll be a hassle getting you a new roommate as it is. Yann had to do background checks on everyone and also meet them before they were able to move in anyway. It was a lot more hassle than it looked on the outside, and even Séra didn’t know the full extent of all that went on behind the scenes just so they could keep her safe. He stood to pace around a little bit, thinking. I’ll see what I can do about it, was all he could say though, all he could actually promise her. He couldn’t give her promises he wouldn’t be able to keep, but he could make sure he tried, at least. And he knew things would work better if he got Simon on board of this as well, but he needed to tread carefully. He stopped pacing when she came to join him suddenly. There was more? he asked jokingly, his manner still light, though mentioning the gala always made him tense. She took his hand and Yann laced their fingers together immediately, feeling better on instant. It was like she was a physical cure to all his anxiety. He’d probably jump buildings if he had to if it meant getting to her. You’re welcome, he said gently, his expression very tender, and he nodded at her question. My father took care of the problem. Simon hadn’t felt the need to bother the princess with unnecessary details, so the only official line that went through to the royals had been that Sven was being reassigned and they wouldn’t be seeing him on active duty anymore. That was about it. And given that the King trusted Simon explicitly when it came to guards, well, there had been no questions asked. Yann didn’t feel the need to elaborate on the problem either, come to think of it. At her question, he grinned, Sure, why not? Just not the Avengers please. The guys at the guard post in Luxembourg have that one on repeat all the time. I’ve probably seen it thrice by now, if not more. He rolled his eyes, but she still hadn’t moved and he was curious as to what was going through her mind. He arched an eyebrow, the only outward sign of anything, but inside, his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest soon. She laid her head against his chest and he automatically reached around her, holding her to him and resting his cheek against her hair softly with a sigh. This felt perfect for him, too. Ever since the gala, all he’d wanted was to never let her go again. Only with her in his arms did he ever feel properly at peace. Gently, he pressed a kiss to her forehead. No, you’re being adorable, he told her in a gentle voice, before marvelling out loud, no one’s ever wanted me to hold them like this before ... it’s all new. Maybe that was because he’d never actually had eyes for anyone but Séra, not that Yann would think about that overly much. She was in his arms now. Where she belonged.

Sera smiled and could honestly say that she was always happy to see him. She could be having the worst day of her life, but as soon as Yann was there her problems didn’t really matter anymore. Seeing him standing there in her doorway brought all kinds of thoughts to her mind and she couldn’t help but giggle at his playful reply. As soon as she realized she sounded like a silly school girl she inwardly rolled her eyes. Why did she have to act stupidly around him? She felt ridiculous, but decided that maybe she could distract him enough to ignore the way she was acting. Stranger indeed, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before in my life. She teased with a grin. Not to worry though, I have nothing against strangers, you see as of late I’ve been allowing this really attractive guy to shadow me and I tend to let him into my room. What can I say? I thrive on being spontaneous. By attractive guy she of course was referring to Yann, but teasing him was basically second nature to her and she was always looking for a way to make him blush. Smart thinking. So why don’t you sound too excited about being kidnapped? She asked teasingly, I’ve got all kinds of fun things planned. This was not the slightest bit true since she had decided to confront him out of the blue. As he asked her about her breakfast she smirked and gave him a look that a child would give if they had been caught doing something they weren’t supposed to. Yea, kind of. I figured it’d be better than the vodka I have in the fridge though. Since she had just gotten back from break Sera hadn’t had the opportunity to go out and grab groceries. Then with the weather being the way it was going out wasn’t very high on her priority list. Aww man! You totally ruined your surprise for tomorrow! Now what am I supposed to do? Sera faked a sigh and shook her head. One of these days Yanni you’re going to wish you saw me in my lingerie. She said with a smile as a devious plan formed in her head for another day. So what do you think of my outfit today? Back in Luxembourg Sera had managed to steal his jacket and had worn it whenever she could. She wasn’t even sure he had noticed it missing, not that she planned on giving it back any time soon. Sera planned on keeping it until his scent wore off of it, then she’d give it back only to have him wear it and then steal it again.

Her parents. They seemed to be the biggest problem as of late and honestly she was getting sick of it which was one of the reasons why she had left home early. Yann was definitely right concerning her parents, but who said they had to know anything? They weren’t even aware that her roommate was leaving after this semester. But if he felt better having some sort of explanation for both of their parents then she’d figure something out. Yea…see, the thing about my parents is the more they don’t know the better. Sera had figured that little detail out a long time ago. It was the only way she was ever able to get anything she wanted done. But if you insist on keeping them informed I know what will get them. She was going to have to tell them about the whole Sven issue. If it meant that Yann would be her new roommate then Sera was willing to tell her parents the one thing she never wanted them to know. As he mentioned the hassle of getting a new roommate she nodded. I know, which is why I figured you’d be perfect. Plus I feel like I never see you, so now we’d get the opportunity to spend every hour of every day together. She replied with a wink. Saying that she rarely saw him was another one of her common phrases even though she basically saw him every day. When he said he’d see what he could do about her request Sera gave him a thankful smile, Thanks. I just don’t want to add on more work for you. I know you’re busy. His pacing was starting to worry her and she had apparently been so lost in thought at one point that she didn’t notice he had been placing in the first place. The moment Yann laced their fingers together a small smile grew on her lips as her worrying lessened. She nodded as Yann confirmed that Sven had been taken care of. Good. Time spent on thinking about Sven was no longer of any interest to her, so she let it drop. It also seemed like Yann had kept his word because her parents had said nothing to her and hadn’t increased her security, so she was thankful. Sera laughed when Yann said that he didn’t want to see Avengers again. She couldn’t blame him though especially after hearing that the guys basically watched all day. Alright. So you’re choices are Magic Mike, which I really hope you agree to because then you can practice your strip tease, she said aiming a wink in his direction. Or we can watch the American Pie movies because I know you’re dying to see those. Sera couldn’t help but snicker at the choices she gave him knowing that she had basically trapped him into watching films that might make him uncomfortable. The moment Yann wrapped his arms around her Sera felt complete. Now she knew for sure that she was going to have to ask him out. Sera looked up to him and smiled as he spoke about this whole thing being new. She only hoped that he would agree to an entirely different situation that would be new for them both. As she stood up on her toes, Sera brought her arms from around his waist and settled them around his neck. What she really wanted to do right now was tell him how she felt, but there was just no way she could explain it. So instead Sera brushed a light kiss across his lips and pulled away. She wanted to do so much more, but if she went too far now she’d never be able to ask him out. I know this is new, so what better way to get accustomed to it then by practicing? Sera pulled out the dvd he had chosen and put it in the player. Before she asked the most important question she’d have to ask for a long time, Sera decided that she wanted to gauge his reactions first.

Yann laughed lightly when she continued on with her jokes. He liked her when she was this way, it was definitely better than how she had been after the gala. If he could make her smile, then it would make his day. Seeing her cry was the worst thing ever, and he never wanted to see it again, but unless things were going to change drastically, he also knew he wanted to be the one she sought for comfort. He wanted her to know he was ALWAYS there for her. Absolutely not, he agreed, deciding to go along with this. For now. Of course she also had ways of making him feel awkward or a little bit embarrassed, but thankfully he didn’t blush this time around. He just rolled his eyes. Spontaneous indeed. Should I be jealous? it was better if he tried not to think of it as too important and just went with the flow. That way, at least, he could try and stay in-line with her, though she left him behind almost every time. She’d been born for the intrigues of court, and brought up among them. Yann preferred the honest, straight-on approach, something he knew Séra probably appreciated – though not all the time. He laughed. Well, maybe because I’m afraid of all the ‘fun’ stuff you have ready for me, he replied with a small smile, before grinning more, honestly though, this beats doing rounds with the other guys any time. He certainly didn’t want her to think he didn’t appreciate her company or something similar. At the thought of her having vodka for breakfast, Yann nearly choked. You could’ve texted me and I’d have gotten you something, he chided her gently, you can’t eat ice cream for breakfast! And Vodka’s even worse, so don’t start, he added quickly as an afterthought, lifting a finger at her and wagging it in her direction. She was like a big baby sometimes. A very adorable baby. The thought of her in lingerie did make him blush though. You know what, I don’t think so, he commented dryly, forcing himself to swallow past his dry throat. No, certainly not. That wouldn’t end well AT ALL. At her question, Yann frowned, then took a better look – and laughed. I thought mum lost that one while washing! he exclaimed, You little minx, when’d you get the time to steal it? Where’d she learn how to steal it anyway?

The thought of not telling her parents made Yann uneasy. Sure it would seem easy to anyone that wasn’t royal. But to royalty? Not exactly. Let’s you and me not give your poor parents any more reasons to dislike me, he commented dryly, shaking his head, besides, I wouldn’t be able to keep this from my father regardless, if I wouldn’t tell him one of the other guards stationed here would. So then I’d have double trouble. He shrugged his shoulders. Simon and propriety were one and the same thing, especially at his current age and position. Yeah, Yann did NOT need any more lessons on that. Ever. But he was halfway to agreeing now already so he might as well stop worrying, agree completely and then start thinking of ways to make everyone else believe this was absolutely necessary. It was better than having to go through the hassle of finding her a new roommate anyway, it didn’t look like they would be able to get one on time anyway. The rent wouldn’t be a problem – not to the Luxembourg royal family – but it was preferable that the princess experienced the normal world as much as possible before she went back to take the throne. Or that, at least, was a lot of the logic behind every decision here. He gave her hand a squeeze when the Sven topic was over, something he too was glad about. As to movies, however ... Urgh, he groaned, running his free hand over his face, lord Séra, you sure know how to put a guy in a corner. And I am NOT practicing any strip tease! he grumbled the last bit out, feeling his cheeks flaming up a little again. Damn that girl. She was pushing all the right buttons and she knew it. But it was something remotely tolerable and the intolerable American Pie movies ... Magic Mike then, he sighed, defeated, why couldn’t you have gotten the Amazing Spiderman or something? It was more of a wish than a plea, because when the princess wanted something, then she got it. Otherwise, she didn’t. That was basically it. His thoughts were interrupted when she stood on her toes, her arms around his neck suddenly, but Yann did have to smile. Having her this close ... well, it was nice. Even though he still thought this was probably a dream and he’d wake up from it soon. Especially when she kissed him. Lightly, he responded to the kiss, his hold on her waist tightening for a moment, before he chuckled breathlessly. Practice makes perfect? he commented with a light eyeroll, gently, before he settled down into one of the chairs as she put the DVD in. He wasn’t entirely comfortable with this, mostly because he knew the consequences and he wasn’t sure whether it was worth risking everything, both for her and for him, more for her anyway. Her parents would probably be livid. Still ... this was Séra. He’d practically loved her since he’d been old enough to walk and talk properly. The introduction to the movie began to play and Yann sighed with a comically tortured expression.

So he was going to play along with her, she liked that. Now she was curious as to how far she would be able to push him. With a glance in his direction she decided to save the pushing for later especially since he was still so close to the door. What they had between them was fragile and if she was going to try to ask him to strengthen that, she couldn’t scare him off. Sera smiled at him when he asked if he should be jealous. Well that all depends on whether you’re feeling spontaneous or not. I must warn you though, I tend to play favorites. So you tell me, are you feeling jealous now knowing that? Yann had always been her favorite so it really shouldn’t have been too much of a surprise for him. It was very difficult for her not to favor him; he was just everything she was looking for and more. Not only as her bodyguard, but as a best friend as well. She pretended to pout when he told her that he might have been afraid of what she had planned. Sera really enjoyed his teasing side and wondered what had brought about this side of him. He was more teasing than usual today, not that she was complaining. Oh believe me, you should be afraid, she replied with a smile. Afraid of what though? She needed to come up with some kind of devious plan. Aww, I’m touched. It’s a good thing I managed to steal you away from them then isn’t it? Though she was sure that she never really needed to steal him away. Since Yann was hers she had no problems taking him whenever it pleased her. She tried to stay reasonable for his sake because taking him away from everything was just plain rude. Sometimes however, she’d cave just because she felt like it. Sera raised a brow as he scolded her for not text him. Yann was not her maid and she didn’t want to wake him up for something as silly as asking for breakfast. Though now that she thought about it she hoped she hadn’t woke him up when she texted him. Don’t be ridiculous, you’re not my maid Yanni. Plus I didn’t want to wake you if you were sleeping in. I know you very rarely get that opportunity. She replied with a shrug. Oh puhleeze! You don’t have to be jealous, she teased with a grin I saved some for you too. He seemed a little bossy today as well and Sera wasn’t sure whether she liked it or not. Normally it didn’t really bother her because she found it adorable that he was worrying so much over her. As she thought about it for a moment she decided that she still liked it. Of course I’m not going to drink the vodka for breakfast! I’m saving that for one of our fun activities silly. She smiled at his reply to their lingerie discussion, Uh huh…sure. You’ll change your mind, I have no doubt about that. His blushing was so adorable and it made her even more attracted to him. That my dear is a secret and just so you know, I don’t plan on giving this back any time soon. A wink accompanied the grin that stretched across her lips as she placed her hands in his jacket pockets.

Dislike Yann? Sera didn’t really think it was possible to dislike him in any way and her parents had nothing against him. Dislike you? My parents actually like you which is saying a lot. The king and queen weren’t exactly the type who would dote upon servants let alone pay a lot of attention to them. Then I’ll go to your father and tell him that I demand that you are to be my new roommate. Being a princess was great most of the time, especially when she used her power to get what she wanted. Though she rarely did that because her persuasive skills were plenty good enough to get what she wanted anyways. So are you in? She asked referring to his being her new roommate. There would be so many things that they could do if he agreed and she was looking forward to it. Plus then she wouldn’t have to send him early morning or late night texts and bother him. Sera smirked at Yann’s reaction to her movie choices. Looking down at their intertwined hands she let go and started to trace patterns onto the palm of his hand. Oh come on Yanni! Why not?! She asked batting her eyelashes. Yann might not have been comfortable performing a strip tease for her, but she had already done that plenty of times and had no problems with it. Would you consider it if I stripped first? When Yann agreed to Magic Mike she jumped up and clapped enthusiastically. Tell you what; if you can manage to make it through this movie I’ll put Spiderman in next. Deal? Spiderman wasn’t exactly one of her favorite super hero movies, but if Yann wanted to see it she was more than willing to compromise. When she stood on her toes and kissed him the reaction she had gotten from him made her smile. Why couldn’t she just man up and ask him out? Once the dvd was in she sat on the couch next to the chair he was sitting in. A bright smile was her reply to his practice makes perfect and she was more than willing to take the time to practice. Though she didn’t feel like they needed practice because it seemed to come naturally, but that would stop her from using that phrase. As the movie started she watched the screen, but soon found herself looking out of the corner of her eye at Yann. She needed to ask him now before she completely chickened out. Yann? I want you to be completely honest with me ok? I want to ask you a few things that are very important… Sera looked away from the television and brought her full attention on him, You want me to be happy right? So what if I told you that I don’t want things to be like this between us anymore? She didn’t want them to be friends, she wanted to be able to call him something else. Boyfriend. Sera let the word play around in her head as she waited for his reply. She was really hoping he wouldn’t take things the wrong way because she didn’t want to lose him.

Really, playing along with her had never been the exact plan, but hey, there was something new that happened every day, right? Right. Yann didn’t normally condone this type of behaviour in himself. He was the bodyguard, he needed to stay focused and on the spot, because if anything happened to Séra on his watch he’d never forgive himself, neither would anyone else for that matter, either. And he certainly wasn’t ready to face that particular jury any time soon. He had more than enough to deal with just getting by on a dayly basis when it came down to it, without having minute aneurysms sometimes. She certainly knew how to make his blood boil, that much as certain. He shook his head when she mentioned favourites, That all depends on who your favourite is, princess. There was a good chance that he knew the answer to that, but Yann wasn’t confident enough in himself to really believe it just like that. He was confident enough, sure, but not when it came to Séra. That was uncharted territory and he certainly didn’t want to bluner in blind. Her pout made him chuckle, though he smoothed his expression out soon afterwards, making sure he looked properly scared of what she could conjure. I’m shaking already. Though unless she suddenly decided she wanted to go off mountain biking on her own or something equally dangerous like that – excluding him from the activity – Yann was pretty sure he could survive anything she threw at him. So long as it also didn’t include her in lingerie. I wasn’t really sleeping in, he confessed, I was doing absolutely nothing when you left your voicemail. My internal alarm clock decided that I have to get up at my regular time. He shrugged his broad shoulders with a chagrined expression. He knew he COULD technically sleep in – but unless he was dead-beat, it wasn’t an option. As for the vodka, he had to roll his eyes at that one. You’ll be the only one drinking it, Séra. You know I don’t drink. Not when he was around her, at least. With Liam, sometimes he had a glass or two, but that was different. He wasn’t on duty then. When he was with Séra, he was always on duty. I’m pretty sure I won’t change my mind soon, he added, and well, it doesn’t look like I can tear the thin off you, so I hope it serves the purpose.

It wasn’t like he didn’t have other jackets, after all. And if that was a way of getting plus points, he’d take it at once, except he wasn’t sure her parents really liked him that much. They like me now, but what about when they get wind of the fact I’m staying in your dorm? he asked, sceptical. Yann was nothing if not thorough, and besides, it was his head they were talking about here. Thinking about his father and how she had him wrapped around her little finger, Yann had to laugh though, If you can convince my dad, then sure, I’m in. It’ll definitely beat jogging up the steps in answer to your crazy texts sometimes. He gave her a smile, though it was a bit tortured due to her movie choices regardless, not that he would be saying it out loud. He sighed softly when she started tracing patterns up and down his open palm. You don’t know how good that feels, he commented, surprising even himself. He wasn’t usually this open with her, but she’d brought all his defences down long ago, it seemed, and it didn’t look like he’d be able to pull the walls back up, not entirely anyway. At her question, he gave her an incredulous look. Seriously, do you HAVE to ask? And oh please no, he ground out in almost horror, his cheeks definitely tainted red at this point. If she would honestly strip he’d probably make a run for it, double quick. He did NOT want to get into any more trouble, and really ... no. Not even in a million years. The thought of watching Spiderman afterwards was tempting, though. Okay, he agreed finally, beaten, I’ll get through this movie, but you SO owe me the Spiderman afterwards. It really wasn’t fair that she could make him do basically what she wanted, but hey, he was the one who could have said no in the first place. Saying no to Séra wasn’t in Yann’s vocabulary though. Not at this point in time. Especially not after she kissed him again. It was as if she had him on a leash and all she had to do was snap her fingers. She didn’t really need the leash either. Yann settled on the seat and his attention was on the opening credits of the movie for about ten seconds, before it shifted back to the princess. Blue eyes landed on her when she said his name. I’m always honest with you, Séra, he said with a gentle smile, you know that. What’s this about? Her question made him frown. What kind of a question was that? Of course. He would do anything and everything to make her happy, no questions asked. Yann froze in his seat and forgot all about the movie at her next question though. He had NOT seen that one coming. His mind jumped onto the quick decisions wagon soon afterwards. Was this all a game and she decided it was too much? What was she on about? Do you want to replace me? It was his first and only thought, because he could only live through that if she honestly couldn’t bear his presence anymore, but he didn’t quite understand how that could happen. And it hadn’t really dawned on the poor guy yet that he was going right in the OPPOSITE direction of what Séra was pointing out. If Xavier had been anywhere close, he would have been rolling around the floor laughing by now.

A smirk worked its way onto her face as they went back and forth. She really liked this spunky attitude Yann had going today. When he said it depended on who her favorite was, Sera brought a finger to her lips and pretended to think. There was really no question as to who her favorite was and she was sure that pretty much anybody could tell who it was just by watching her. Well, he’s tall, handsome, very smart and one of my best friends…I’ll give you a hint. It’s you. She said with a smile biting her bottom lip. Yann had pretty much been her favorite since they were kids. Sera could trust him with anything and he was the one she wanted to go to when she had something on her mind. She shook her head with a small grin at his reply to what she had planned. He was teasing her, she knew that putting an amused look on her face. Oh yes, I can tell. The internal clock, Sera knew that one well as that was what had woke her up this morning as well. It always seemed like it wanted to work when she didn’t have school, but when she didn’t there was no sign of it. Same here. I don’t understand why I have no problem sleeping in when I have something important to do, but when I’ve got nothing I can’t stay asleep. A sigh left her lips as she shook her head, I’m glad I didn’t wake you then. I just figured now would be a perfect time to hangout since nobody is here. Normally her roommate would keep her distracted and she wouldn’t have the chance to be alone with Yann. Now she was finding herself in constant need of alone time with him, so she figured to jump on the opportunity. Sera frowned when Yann said he wouldn’t be drinking with her. Yann, there’s nobody here and we’re staying here. I think you’ll be just fine having a couple of drinks. It’s not like I plan on getting drunk. You know how much I hate the throwing up and the hangover. At the mention of her lingerie she smirked, We’ll see about that. Now that she had something in mind he was in big trouble. I’d like for you to try tearing it off of me. She replied with a playful smile. He was more than welcome to try that at any time.

Yann had a point and as she thought about it, he was right. Her parents wouldn’t be too thrilled to see that her male bodyguard was staying with her. Sera didn’t care though, he was going to stay with her if it was the last thing she did. I don’t care what they think. I want you and I always get what I want. She replied matter of factly, if it came down to it she’d throw her usual tantrum that usually made her parents cave. Sera smiled when he said he’d agree if his father was fine with it. Fine, if you but give me a moment I shall make a call. Without hesitation Sera retrieved her phone and dialed in Simon’s number. She winked at Yann as his father picked up and started her sweet talking. After about five minutes she walked over and handed the phone to Yann. Here, he wants to speak with you for a moment. The conversation she and Simon had seemed to have gone pretty well and now she waited for the final outcome. Sera hoped that Simon would agree and if he didn’t she’d have to stop by Luxembourg and convince him in person. A smile made its way across her lips as she brought her gaze from his hand to his eyes. How about this? She asked quietly as she brought her hand to his chest beginning the pattern work again. Her eyes never left his and she leaned in closer to him unable to help herself. Sera rolled her eyes at his reply to the stripping and sighed. Fine. What he didn’t know was that she already had something up her sleeve and was just letting him think he was getting away with it. As Yann agreed to watch the movie if Spiderman was next on the list Sera nodded with a smirk. You will get your Spiderman, but you have to cooperate with me. The kiss was having some kind of effect on her because now she felt all giddy. He had that effect on her all of the time as of late and she wondered if he realized that. Sera nodded when he said that he was always honest with her, that much she knew was true. His honesty was refreshing and she really appreciated that he had no problem telling her what was what. Especially since most of the people at Brown were kiss ups and just said whatever to try and make her happy. Yanni come sit with me. She said extending her arms out towards him. What she really wanted right now was for him to hold her. As soon as she mentioned a change in the way they were she noticed him freeze. Shit. He had taken it the wrong way like she was hoping he wouldn’t. With a sigh she shook her head. Why would she want him replaced? She loved him and she had told him that. No Yanni don’t be silly, of course I don’t want to replace you. Sera wanted him to be her boyfriend. Replacing him would bring her in the complete opposite direction of where she wanted to go. Taking a deep breath she looked into his eyes and locked them in place. I don’t want to replace you; I want our relationship to be something more than just princess/servant, best friends. I want you to be my boyfriend because after the gala I realized something. Sera paused a moment to catch her breath and then continued, I realized that I love you and that I’d rather be in your arms for the rest of my life than attend the finest galas and if I had to give up my throne for you, I would. She knew that she wouldn’t have to regardless, but she wanted to show him just how much she cared about him.

It was easy to joke around with her if he completely forgot about the fact that she was royal and he wasn’t. Yann normally didn’t have problems with that factor, but sometimes, especially since the night of the gala, well, he had his own reasons. Not that he wouldn’t want to joke with her or anything, but he had been pretty much lap-trained to obey royalty, not joke around with them. Simon, for all intents and purposes, was rarely seen laughing to a joke the King said, although his son knew that behind closed doors, it was pretty much easy camaraderie. Simon Krier and the King went back a long way back, and there was no saying they weren’t friends, because they most certainly were. He chuckled when she said it was him and he simply gave her a fond smile at that one. He had hoped, and had gotten his answer. She would obviously be able to tell that SHE was his favourite above everyone else. It was pretty much a given anyway. He did laugh at her little rant though. It’s called Murphy’s law, my dear. Tends to happen to the best of us. Besides, you’ll probably get your chance to sleep in soon, I hear rumors flying around that one of your professors is still on his sickbed so chances are he won’t be able to make it here for the beginning of the semester and your morning classes. Yann was good at information like that, because well, it was good to stay on top of things, especially to know when she’d have free periods of time. If nothing else, it saved him the trouble of looking for her. As for drinking, he was pretty adamant about that. He rarely had a drink, if ever. Really, only Liam was ableto get him to drink anything more than apple juice at points. We’ll see about that, was the only thing he said though, not wanting to let her down on this. He was apprehensive as to what she was plotting though; it could very well be dangerous, for him at least. Sure she’d probably have a blast, but he’d possibly end up in a nightmare ... a possibly enjoyable nightmare, but he didn’t dare think of that. He only rolled his eyes on the topic of the jacket, simply grinning. You can keep it. He didn’t mind, actually, he felt flattered, and humbled that she’d want to wear his jacket when she had a closet full of designer ones at hand.

The way she made her bold statement made Yann think he was fighting destiny when it came down to this, and so he simply raised his hands in surrended, shaking his head, an amused smile on his lips. If you say so ... Her next action was to immediately call his father, and Yann groaned internaly. He so knew it. Especially when she handed him the phone. He tried to give her his best sour expression, and probably succeeded, as he felt like he’d just bitten into a lemon. Dad. His voice was even when he answered the phone. As predicted, however, Simon’s attitude towards his princess wasn’t the same as towards his one and only son. Please make sure she doesn’t suspect I’m anything but nice to you. Of course. Good. I’ll only ask this once, Yann: was this your idea? Yann wanted to snort. His father was getting delusional with old age. No. It was casual enough, right? And short enough too. He could hear the drum of fingers against the desk. I don’t like this. Yann knew it. I know – she’d feel safer though. He could practically hear Simon rolling his eyes. Yann, I’m old, but I’m not THAT old. I can smell something’s up even to here in Luxembourg. The bodyguard shifted in his seat. Fine, I’ll allow it, under one condition. Yann was surprised, that had been quick. Shoot. Of course, knowing his father, he should have predicted the outcome. I’m going to call you. Whenever. And you, my dear son, will answer your phone, even if it’s in the middle of the night. Do you understand me? Yann did roll his eyes at that, though he was cringing internally. Yes. Simon seemed satisfied. Good. Because remember, Yann Alain Krier – I might be your father, but I’m still your superior. If I so much as sniff something going on, I’m pulling you out and stationing you on the outer ramparts of the royal family’s summer residence. Got that? Ugh. Yes. I’ll see you when we get back home for the summer. Simon hung up without another word, and Yann sighed, then smiled in Séra’s direction, though there was a new leash attached that only he could see for now. All settled. He was more than happy to return to the movie topic though he was pretty sure it came with strings attached too. Alright, as long as it doesn’t involve you chaining me to the TV. Her request made him arch an eyebrow, but he shifted anyway, to her seat, gently changing her position so that he wouldn’t squish her. Of course he was also worried right now, but that had never stopped him from going to her when she called him Yanni. She was the only one who got away with calling him that. Her words made him freeze again, but from different reasons. Yann could feel his heartbeat speeding up, and on instinct, he brought her closer to him, his eyes searching hers. This was beyond his wildest dreams. Do you mean it? he asked quietly, his eyes searching. He needed to know for sure. I’d never ask you to give up your throne for me – of course not. But I need to know, Séra; I’ve seen princesses at play, they’re the best when they can toy with people. I won’t be able to take that. I love you. He paused to bring his voice back in check; it had gotten rough from the raw emotion behind it. I’ve always loved you, and I’m not kidding when I say that if you break my heart, I won’t be able to piece it back together. And you’re very capable of breaking it, with just a look. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m pretty much your slave, all you have to do is snap your fingers, and I’m here.

Sera smirked as Yann laughed about her ranting. Well it was true, no matter how hard she tried to wake up during a school day it wouldn’t work, but if she had the opportunity to sleep in there was no chance that she’d actually get to snag the chance. There were people however, like her brother for example who could sleep in no matter what and sometimes she wished she had gotten lucky enough to be like them. It was a good thing she had Yann to wake her up for her classes because she’d willingly sleep through all classes. Sera felt bad that he had to wake up earlier to wake her up, but if he was fine with it she was just going to have to find a way to get over her guilt. True, I just wish it wouldn’t happen. At hearing the news about her professor a bit of relief flowed through her. She of course hoped that her professor would get better, but who was she to complain about missing classes? Oh no, that’s terrible. Good for us, but not for him. As long as they don’t give us a replacement I’ll be happy. Remember the one professor we had sub us? Ugh! Basically had to re-teach myself everything. The re-teaching process took quite a bit of time up too which was something Sera didn’t have very much of at that point. In reply to the alcohol discussion she gave Yann a ‘yea right’ look and rolled her eyes. One of these days she was going to get him to let go and then they would party. Things might get a little out of hand while that happens, but hey that’s what the college years were for, or so she was told. Her parents were pretty strict when it came to behaving at school. She had gotten in enough trouble when she was with Fred or Xavier. After that point the press no longer found anything interesting about Sera and moved on. She offered him a large smile when he told her she could keep the jacket. Oh that was her plan from the start, but every now and again she was going to have to find a way to get him to wear it. Sera only stole it for its scent, it smelled of Yann and she found it pretty much intoxicating.

Things seemed to be going pretty well and she had accomplished a quarter of what she had set out to do today. Yann agreed to be her roommate as long as his father approved and convincing him would not be very difficult. Simon was basically a second father to her and she knew how to tug on his heart strings just as well as she knew how to tug on her parents’. Sera gave Yann an innocent look in reply to his sour expression as she handed him her phone. He may not have been keen on speaking to his father about this matter, but he did say that if Simon agreed then she’d have her new roommate. So she was only making it a possibility. Sera had to laugh for someone who seemed upset about having to talk to his father; there was no complaining going on. Maybe Simon had taken in what she had to say and was just giving his son instructions. There didn’t seem to be any problems and that made her happy. Now she had her favorite person rooming with her and she didn’t have to deal with some annoying person. Sera knew she had lucked out with her current roommate. The girl was a blast, but knew how to keep everything to herself. She kept Sera’s identity a secret the whole time and even when word got out around campus she denied the rumors going around. With Yann Sera knew she’d be safe and now she wouldn’t have to come up with crazy ideas to get him to stay with her because they’d be together anyways. She was pretty sure Yann thought her crazy with all of the stupid stuff she came up with to get him in her room. Her favorite had to be the dorms nude party though. Teasing him through AIM was not only entertaining, but it also got him up to see her really fast. Plus he’d finally gotten to see her in her lingerie even if it was only for a brief moment before she was forced to put something on. Sera beamed as Yann got off the phone. So he’s okay with it? She snickered when Yann mentioned being chained to the tv and rolled her eyes. Oh please, if I wanted to chain you somewhere it wouldn’t be to the television. Ha, let him think that one through. Sera was feeling mischievous as usual and couldn’t help with that reply. When he joined her on the couch as she requested Sera smiled and sidled up to him and rested her head on his shoulder. She felt him still when she told him her request, but ignored that as soon as he pulled her in closer. Inwardly she rolled her eyes when he asked if she meant it. Bringing her hand up she stroked his cheek and nodded. Of course I mean it Yanni. Why else would she have asked him in the first place? She knew that it was most likely a response of shock, but still she wasn’t one to toy with peoples’ hearts. Never once have I toyed with anyone, its way too cruel. I’m not like that. I’m asking you because I want to spend more time with you. She let out a light sigh, but gave him a small smile. I love you too which is why I’d never want to break your heart. The only thing I’d do with it is steal it and keep it locked away for all eternity. Sera leaned forward and rested her forehead on his. Closing her eyes she continued, I’m not like Kalli please believe me when I tell you that I am one hundred and fifty percent serious about this. I want to be your girlfriend. I can’t stand not being in your arms and I practically die every minute that I don’t see you. She took a deep breath and released it slowly. I know that this going to be difficult with our parents, but I don’t really care. I want this so badly that it hurts and I’m hoping you do too.

There was of course a downside to almost everything, and really, who was he to say otherwise? But Yann did have to get up earlier than Séra on a dayly basis, because he needed to make sure she was up on time for her classes, but it also included her getting up early enough so she had breakfast and a cup of coffee. Usually, he would bring her her favourite up when he came to wake her. The fact that he would now be her roommate would make things a little bit easier, given that she’d be able to hear his alarm clock go off and so he was hoping he wouldn’t have to get up QUITE as early anymore. Then again, now that some of the morning classes got cancelled, at least for a week or so, maybe he’d be able to get some sleep-in time on his own. He couldn’t be sure whether Séra would get up on her own or not, but Yann was dearly looking forward to a time when he wouldn’t have to be awake about an hour before her so he had everything ready. It wasn’t hard for him, of course not, but it got tedious after a while, and well when you needed to keep up with her lifestyle, it also got a little bit unhealthy too, not that he’d say it out loud. Instead, he chuckled about the subbing deal, True that, even I remember it, unfortunately. But I don’t think so, the only warning I got was that the teacher’ll be absent, not that you’ll be getting a sub in. So I’m pretty sure they’ll let you sleep longer this coming week. Which would be a treat for the both of them, for sure, and Yann sighed in anticipation. If he could get one wish granted, then he’d ask never to feel tired after a long day with Séra, that way he could basically enjoy himself even after everything was said and done. As it was now, he simply collapsed into bed half the time, though it still wasn’t so bad that he needed to recouperate with a full day’s sleep. He was pretty sure he’d gotten enough sleep in advance during their little break in Luxembourg.

Simon was going to be a problem in this new room deal though, Yann could already see it, not that he’d be telling Séra any of that any time soon. She thought the world of the man, and so did he on some matters. On others? Not so much, especially right now, because his father was better than hound dogs when he needed information. It was one of the reasons why he was a retired secret service agent working as a royal bodyguard. Simon’s entire life had been spent figuring things out, and so he thought he needed to do the same with his child, though Yann was going to prove to him he could do it, even though he wasn’t sure how he’d be able to resist the girl for long. She was absolutely breathtaking to him, more so with every day that passed, and he wasn’t sure whether she was aware of the effect she had on him or not. Hopefully not entirely, or else he was doomed. He nodded at her question, He is, but he’ll probably be flying down once your roommate leaves anyway. You know the drill, going through the dorm etc etc and making sure everything’s out before I move in. Simon liked taking care of these things himself, especially now when Séra was no longer at Vineheart. He did the same for the other two princes, but he was more worried about the Crown Princess, it was painfully obvious to anyone who took the time to look. Simon put a lot of pressure on Yann and the rest of the guards who were with here at Brown, mostly because he loved her like his own daughter, and because she had him wrapped around her tiniest finger. It was hilarious, the way she could make him eat out of her hand. Yann was glad he wasn’t drinking anything or even chewing through food at what she said next, because he damn well choked then and there at what she said, and gave her a look between amused, panicked and completely bewildered. Séra! he’d been saying that a lot today, he realized. Oh well. His attention refocused again and his arm wrapped around her when she lay her head against his shoulder. His cheek tingled where she touched it. He lifted his own hand and lightly brushed a strand of hair out of her face, listening to what she said. He couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. We spend every minute together anyway, how much more ‘together’ can we get? his voice was softly teasing, his heart beating rapidly at this new possibility, the possibility of a relationship with Séra. An actual, healthy relationship. Her forehead was pressed against his own, and Yann shifted on the couch, the movie completely forgotten now, as he wrapped his arms securely around his princess to keep her comfortably close against him. I trust you, explicitly, he commented softly, opening his eyes to look into hers, and I promise I’ll never hurt you. Not while I can help it. I get an anxiety attack every time someone else subs for me on duty. I swear I drive my mom crazy. His hold on her tightend as he shifted her even closer to him. I’ve wanted this for so long, you can’t even imagine how it feels, knowing I have you right here, in my grasp, and that you feel the same, he told her breathlessly, his fingers tracing a path down to her chin, before he leaned in to kiss her, less timid now, more sure in himself and their chosen course, and he was overruled by the strong emotions he felt for Séra.

The thought of not having to wake up extremely early for classes made Sera a bit more excited for school to start. She had no problem with going; it was just the waking up part that she disliked. Though waking up to Yann’s smiling face was always worth it for her. It could have been four in the morning and if Yann was there waking Sera up she’d be up. Of course she wouldn’t be the happiest and she’d most likely fight him for the first ten minutes, but she’d eventually rise. Being a heavy sleeper usually made things a little difficult for Sera which was why she needed Yann to wake her. Alarms usually didn’t help much for her as she’d sleep right through it, but she blamed that on her parents’ genes because they were just as bad as she was when it came to sleeping habits. Oh good. I’m sure you’ll appreciate the extra three hours of sleep you’ll be getting. I know I will. She replied with a smirk any chance to sleep in was better than none and falling asleep in class was no longer an option for her. She was supposed to look good especially since part of her class new that she was a princess and sleeping in class would not score her too many points. Not that it really mattered since most of them kissed up anyway. You know, you could come stay in my dorm with me for this semester too that way you don’t have to go all crazy. You can share my bed and just tell everybody else that you sleep on the couch. It’s not like they’d know. Sera liked the idea of sharing her bed with Yann because then she would be able to snuggle up with him and then they really would be inseparable. Being around him was just so addictive and most of the time in classes or anywhere for that matter, she’d constantly glance at the clock waiting for it to end her class just so she could go find Yann. She was sure that if she looked at the way she was acting from someone else’s point of view that she’d look crazy and smitten, but she was willing to deal with what others thought.

Sera practically jumped up and down when Yann confirmed that his father was ok with their new arrangement. It didn’t seem as difficult as she thought it was going to be even though deep down she knew that everything would work out the way she wanted it to. Awesome! You have no idea how happy this makes me. On a scale of one to ten she was about an eleven and that was only because he was soon to be her roommate. Her number would definitely sky rocket once she asked him to be her boyfriend and if he accepted. Simon coming down to do his usual dorm check was fine with her and then she’d find some way to talk to him about Yann. Her plan was to run this relationship thing by him as if it were just innocent curiosity to gauge his feelings and then once she figured that out she’d go in for the kill ultimately getting his permission or so she hoped. There were very few times that Sera didn’t get what she wanted from Simon and she hoped that this issue wouldn’t be one of them. You just better keep a close eye on him to make sure he doesn’t put cameras anywhere. I can tell you one thing for sure, I would not be happy about that and would cover them up without hesitation. She stated with her princess attitude. That was usually reserved for when she didn’t get what she wanted and just thinking about the possibility of having cameras put into her living space made her angry. A grin soon made its way onto her face as Yann choked at her reply to the chains. She gave him the ‘what?’ look and shrugged her shoulders. It was true and it was probably inappropriate to be saying, but she didn’t care. They were practically inseparable and she had a thing for him, so her flirting and dirty mind always made things way more interesting. What? Can you honestly tell me you wouldn’t enjoy it? Yann brought out the feisty temptress in her all of the time and she couldn’t help herself most of the time. His touch sent shivers down her spine and being wrapped in his arms automatically lifted her spirits. Oh you have no idea. She replied with a smile. Sera had plenty ideas on how they could still get more ‘together’, but she decided to refrain from giving specifics because she didn’t want to ruin the moment. In his arms Sera wanted to hold onto him tightly, but didn’t follow through because she didn’t want hurt him. It made her feel really good to hear that he trusted her because trust really needed to go both ways and Yann had had her trust from the beginning. We really must work on that anxiety of yours love, I’d hate to see something bad happen to you because of that. If anything were to happen to him, God forbid, Sera would practically die. He was the center to her universe and without him everything would crash and burn. She smiled brightly at his last reply, so I take it you accept then? At this she held her breath slightly nervous. As he leaned in and kissed her Sera wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back with all of the passion that she had in her. She threw everything into their kiss and the fact that they hadn’t kissed since the gala made things feel slightly more desperate for her. They were meant to be and it was funny that it took her so long to figure that out.

He rolled his eyes at her smirk, knowing she was making a valid point. After all, Yann only got to sleep in when she slept in, despite the fact that he was always up before her. There was just something special about being able to wake her up, especially lately when she seemed to practically need someone to shake her out of bed, literally. Her roommate had actually been the first to call Yann about coming up and waking the princess, because she couldn’t get her to wake up. That had sent Yann running, although he simply realized that she was practically passed out, and it had taken a lot of coaxing and promises, and even threats in the end to get her to move out of bed. She’d glared at him for the rest of that day, and Yann had avoided spending as much time with her as usual, because he knew she needed to cool down. Eventually that had developed into the routine they had now, with him waking her up every morning with a coffee and a ready smile. Who wouldn’t smile, seeing the golden-haired angel waking up? You know I will. Any more sleep is luxury for me, he replied with a chuckle, shaking his head. At her suggestion, he managed not to look too shocked, he just raised an eyebrow in Séra’s general direction without budging much. Sure, and your current rommmate’s gonna buy it. Let’s just wait for her to leave and then I’ll move in, alright? If it makes you feel better, you know I’m only a second away. Whenever she needed something, Yann would be doing it or getting it for her with little problem. He was one of those guys who never grumbled when they were sent in a hundred different directions at a time, he’d been raised for this and also, he just liked seeing her happy. That was enough for him, really, and he wasn’t about to change that any time soon. So long as Séra was happy with him and around him, then things would stay just the way they were, he knew his father would agree to this with his last breath if he had to. Simon basically just wanted his princess happy too. Maybe not in the same way as she did for herself, but anyway.

He did have to laugh when she bounced up and down on the couch, apparently very happy with the new arrangement, and it made him smile too. Not only would he be close to her all the time, but he just made her super happy. His day was turning out pretty fine on his end. I’m glad. If you’re happy, I’m happy. That was a common thruth really, and even Simon had taken up the habbit of teasing his son about the lengths he’d go to for Séra. Then again, his father was the same for the princess’ parents. He inherited this all. At the mention of cameras, Yann felt like someone’d just punched him in the stomach. He’d never. My father’d never do something that’d make you uncomfortable, princess, unless it was called for, he told her evenly, after he managed to get over his own horror of the thought. He would have killed his father on the spot, just by blushing so furiously, besides Simon didn’t need to know all that went on here. He got weekly reports from the guards, and dayly ones from his son. Everything was under control. There won’t be any cameras, I promise. He knew the only reason why Simon would instal them in the first place, would be if she were in danger and they needed to monitor her 24/7, not something they needed to do right now, and besides, Yann liked to think he was better than any camera. The thought o being chained somewhere – and getting a faint idea as to WHERE precisely that would be – was definitely making Yann uncomfortable, but it seemed to be fueling Séra’s desire to be as vixen as she could and just press her own issue down without delay. That would depend, he finally managed to form a coherent response, shaking his head again. And honestly, he didn’t want to have any more ideas. She was being completely out of control as it were on that scenario, and Yann didn’t feel like he could ever cope with her this way. Séra was way out of his league on that one. He chuckled weakly when she commented on the anxiety attacks, and rubbed her lower back with one hand leisurely, naturally, There’s only one cure I see, and that’s never to really be far behind you. It would eventually kill him, he was sure. His job would be the death of him, but unlike a lot of others, Yann enjoyed his work and would never trade it for the world. Smiling softly at her question, sensing the way the atmosphere shifted, Yann nodded, Yes. Usually, it should have been the other way around, as in boy asking girl to be his girlfriend, but their situation was far from really being typical. Their kiss started off easily, but escalated quickly, and Yann felt himself responding to her so easily; the more passion she put into the kiss, the easier it was for him to retaliate in kind, holding his own in the kiss and battling her for dominion. His back was pressed against the arm of the sofa they were on, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. His hands came up to cup her face as they kissed, desperation he’d felt since the night of the gala disappearing since he held her again and was able to kiss her.

A giggle escaped her as she listened to him. Oh how she wouldn’t mind him staying with her a night and as of late she felt the need to do something that would only prevent them from sleeping. That of course was inappropriate and she could thank Kalli for putting all sorts of those thoughts in her head. Before Sera never really found herself thinking dirty, but this new found boldness was pretty exhilarating and watching Yann’s reactions to her remarks was always entertaining. I believe it. Tell me what ever are you going to do when you finally manage to catch up on all of your missing sleep time? If he needed suggestions she had plenty of ideas though she was going to behave herself and remain silent. Instead she raised a brow and gave him a look that said exactly what she was thinking. This all made her wonder how things would turn out once he moved in with her. She wasn’t going to lie, she looked forward to it and once it really happened all kind of fun would begin. Of course she knew that there wouldn’t be too much craziness going on though because knowing Simon he’d probably have her other guards pressing their ears up against the walls. She was going to have to come up with a way to prevent them from getting anything good out of the spying. Are you kidding? Casey wouldn’t say anything she probably pat you on the back. She has a pretty big crush on you, you know? Can’t say I’m too thrilled about that, but if it meant your moving in I’m positive she’d keep her mouth shut. Sera didn’t really want to wait for her roommate to leave. It was still too far off in time and she wanted him to move in now. She was going to have to find some way to convince him, but if she had to she’d compromise. It was only fair that he got a say in it since he would be the one breaking the rules. Sera thought herself worth breaking the rules for and had a few ideas available for Yann’s approval. Pretty please Yanni? If you do this I’ll try and behave for you. I’ll even avoid the crazy parties. All she really wanted was to sleep with him. When Yann slept with her the night of the gala she had had the most peaceful sleep she’d ever had in years. Maybe she was going to have to mention that to him.

Sera leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. She was truly grateful that he was willing to do whatever he could to make her happy and by talking to his father it proved that he wasn’t just saying that. Talking to Simon was sometimes difficult and she could only imagine what it would be like for Yann especially when it concerned his moving in with her. Simon was probably uncomfortable with the idea, but Sera knew that he’d be kind enough to give it a try. Poor Yann would probably have to deal with all kinds of check ins once he moved in and for that she felt bad. He didn’t need any more added to his to do list. She nodded when Yann said his father would never do something without a cause, I know, I was just putting the thought out there because what if while he’s checking for bugs, he installs a few as well? Maybe she had been watching too many spy movies. It was that or the specials that popped up on the history channel every so often about something that wasn’t history. Sera trusted Simon just like she did Yann, she just wanted to be sure that if anything were to happen once she and Yann were living together that Yann couldn’t get into trouble. She didn’t want to lose him and she definitely didn’t want someone else to be guarding her. Good. I just don’t want anything to happen to you once you’re staying here. With a sigh she gently took his hand and continued with the pattern work. As the chain conversation came into play Sera couldn’t help but grin. She could tell that Yann was feeling a bit uncomfortable, but she was hoping to get him out of that. Especially if he was to become her boyfriend. Depend on what exactly? I need details. The princess hoped that this would be encouraging for him, though she continued to trace various shapes on his palm just in case. Yann just needed a bit of practice when it came to keeping up with her feisty inner temptress and Sera planned on helping him with that. She smiled at his cure for the anxiety. I’m not going to lie, I really like this cure and will have no problem helping you with that. In all honesty she wouldn’t have a problem helping him with anything, whatever he needed she’d be there for him like he always was for her. When Yann confirmed that he wanted to be her boyfriend Sera beamed. I love you so much Yanni. Their kiss was nothing short of amazing and could tell that Yann was feeling the same way she was. As they kissed she felt a tear slip down her cheek. This was not a tear of sadness, but one of pure happiness because she was way beyond happy and couldn’t believe that it was finally happening to her. Sera had read a book once that said, “One day you will find a man you can’t breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence”. She never really understood what that meant until now. Now it made perfect sense and that was exactly how she felt when she was with Yann. Eventually though she had to break their kiss for but a moment. As she did she took a deep breath and caressed his face. I can’t believe I get to finally call you my boyfriend. Sera leaned in again to kiss him. She figured they had plenty of time to catch their breaths.
