written in the stars [YANN]

[séraphine s. of luxembourg]

The words from her religion class clouded her vision as she stared at the book with a frown. Now Sera was kicking herself for signing up for the Medieval Spirituality class and she couldn’t begin to fathom how she was going to drag herself to that class each time. Thankfully all of her classes were over for the day and it was only a little after noon. As Yann had said before, one of her professors was out due to illness and now she had another call in sick the day before. Unfortunately it wasn’t the spirituality class that was called off and she still had work to do for it. She did get a kick out of the various comments from some of her classmates when they noticed that the seraphim was mentioned and would make connections with her name. The book was talking about monks and things like that and it was getting quite boring. As she looked up at her clock she frowned and decided to have Yann come over. Casey was gone for the weekend leaving Sera the dorm to herself. It was fine for a while, but the silence was starting to bother her and every so often she got one of those creepy feelings like there was somebody there. Of course she knew that there really wasn’t anybody because she had searched her whole dorm and found nothing, but she also knew that her security team wouldn’t let anything happen to her. She shut her book and pushed it to the side of her desk and texted Yann to see if she could pull him away from whatever he was doing. As she awaited his reply she searched her mini kitchen for something worth consuming and found very little. Sera shook her head and made a mental note to hit the grocery store when she had the time. At the moment she wasn’t in any hurry to go anywhere, but at least the weather seemed to be clearing up. Her phone buzzed alerting her that someone had texted her and she glanced down to find Kalli’s text on her screen. After what had happened the morning Sera asked Yann to be her boyfriend, it was kind of difficult for the Luxembourg princess to want to talk to the girl. She felt ridiculous for following Kal’s instructions and now was avoiding her as much as she could. It seemed like she was back to the way she was, but the only one who could properly judge that would be Yann. Sera replied to Kalli’s offer of coming by for a visit by turning her down. She was going to have to mention to Yann that they have a huge test to study for just in case Kalli decided to bother him. It was a bit immature on her part, but Sera didn’t feel like being mature right now. Kalli had told her to give Yann the lap dance and she was stupid enough to do exactly that. So for now it would be avoidance and eventually she’d get over what had happened.

Her phone vibrated a second time and Sera smirked when she read Yann’s reply. The party she had gone to the night before was handing out prizes for anybody who could keep down five shots of some of the nastiest liquor that Sera had ever had. After the party was over she basically had to wash her mouth out ten times before she could get rid of the nasty after taste. Luckily though she kept it down and had won a Starbucks gift card with a decent amount on there. It could easily last her and Yann a few weeks worth of drinks. After she won she had given it to him for his use mainly because he was usually the one grabbing her something. She looked around her dorm and rolled her eyes when she noticed the left Casey had left her. With a sigh Sera left the kitchen and started picking up her roommate’s mess. The princess didn’t understand why it was so hard to leave worn clothing in the hamper, but for some reason Casey was opposed to that. Sera tossed the clothing on her roommate’s bed and then tossed a few text books along with them. Her gaze flitted across the living area as she stepped away from Casey’s room. At least there was no longer clothing all over the floor, but the dirty dishes in the sink caught her attention and Sera couldn’t help herself when she went over and started to fill up the one side with warm soapy water. She hated that her roommate was such a pig. It was kind of sad in a way because Casey was perfect in every other way when it came to being a roommate. The girl was sweet and kept things to herself, especially Sera’s princess status. While she waited for the sink to fill, Sera made her way over to the door and unlocked it leaving it slightly cracked open for Yann. For some reason Sera felt like dancing and now she had the gala on her mind. She felt bad for taking Yann away from the ballroom so quickly because she knew that he loved to dance as much as she did. So now she was going to make it up to him by asking him to dance with her a little later on. Sera rolled up her sleeves and started to wash the dishes that her messy roommate left to pile up.

Yann leaned his head on his hand and tried not to fall asleep on the spot. One of his colleagues was currently going through that stupid Fifty Shades of Grey series, and while he was at it, he sometimes thought it would be fun if he read out loud to the other guys in their quarters, making them mostly roar with laughter. While he could see the appeal in such a book for women, and possibly some men, he wondered how on Earth he’d managed to find himself in a group where they actually read it, when it was clearly so obnoxious it hurt. Sure it was for fun, but to even begin to read it from the start ... well, that wasn’t something Yann understood right now. It was possibly because he was pretty old-fashioned. Simon had had a pretty funny thing to say on the topic, which had made Yann laugh at the time; whenever a book like that got published, you could be sure it would become a hit mostly because women nowadays couldn’t seem to be satisfied with the men they had, and always wanted more. That hopefully wasn’t true for his princess, otherwise he was going to be sick. His eyes fell together and he snapped them open again. Bored out of his skull, he wondered how much longer this was going to take, after all, there was no telling just what would be read out loud next. He really didn’t want to know at all. But hey, he was about to, given that Ben was obviously in the mood for reading more and more, and the other guys seemed to be hooting in amused excitement. He wondered whether or not he’d been deployed to Planet Ape at some point and now returned back to Earth, but with some weird gene that made him different. He really didn’t know.

His phone luckily buzzed in his pocket then, and Yann started, relieved to have something else to do. Maybe it was his father, or his mother. Most likely, it was Séra. He grinned when he saw her text message, and sighed in content. He’d been a bit worried after the whole lap dance fiasco, especially after turning her down, but apparently, and hopefully, he’d let her know in no uncertain terms, that he wanted the same thing as she did – just a little bit slower in general. Now it seemed they were back on the right track again, though he needed to think where he’d put that gift card for Starbucks, and not think about how she’d managed to procur one. While he was aware of the dorm parties and all that, and normally awake through them and in the shadows just to be on the safe side, Yann tended to avoid them as much as possible. They were a hinderance, and also they were just the type of thing that he didn’t need right now. Replying and rising quickly, he got boos from the others. The man rolled his eyes. I’ll leave you chicks to read on without me – at least I can live and breathe without needing to turn another page, he grumbled as he grabbed his jacket and čeft the room as quickly as possible, ducking as something was thrown after him and closing the room with a soft laugh. He went to his bedroom and rummaged about for the gift car, knowing he had put it there somewhere, and chuckled at her other text. No, thank you. Finally finding what he wanted, Yann pocketed that and his wallet and whistled his way out of the dorms and into the open air, to get what she’d asked him. Luckily for the Starbucks lady, she had Séra’s favourite tea galore, and so Yann got her two of those just so she could have an extra to spare, and got himself a large black one as well. He would probably need it before the day was done. Making sure he had everything, the bodyguard left the shop and whistled as he made his way back into the main dorm building slowly, rising through the steps and aiming for the door he knew by heart now, or blindfolded. It was cracked open, and so he didn’t really have to worry – given that he could hear Séra doing the dishes half a mile away, he didn’t need to jump in Rambo style. Pushing it open with a shoulder, Yann slipped in. Hey, I bring presents, he called into the apartment and closed the door, before going to seek out his princess in the kitchen where he smiled and placed the teas down onto the counter, leaning on the doorframe, I didn’t know you were so bored to play Desperate Housewife – I’d have come sooner to save you the trouble. His gaze was warm.

Sera wasn’t going to lie, she was slightly disgusted that her roommate would leaves dishes with food on them and not bother to rinse them off. If Casey had rinsed them off it wouldn’t have been too bad, but now that left the princess with the task of scraping things into the garbage before placing the plates in the soapy water on the other side. It was a good thing that she was in a generous kind of mood because if she hadn’t been the dishes might have ended up on Casey’s bed as well. She made a mental note to text her roommate when things were finished so that way she could thank her for the lovely gifts that had been left unattended in the sink. Sera might have been a princess, but she wasn’t above washing dishes especially in the condition they were left in the sink. As she began to finally take dishes from the water Sera heard a familiar voice and the door shutting behind him. His footsteps announced his arrival to the kitchen and a large smile grew as she turned and saw him leaning in the door way. The princess shook her head at his comment before turning back and shutting off the water for a moment. The dishes could wait a moment while she greeted her boyfriend. He had gotten back to her a lot quicker than she had expected, but she was thrilled to see him anyways. Ha, Casey decided to leave me with a messy dorm before she left, so I decided to take care of it now and avoid having to do it later. She replied as she dried off her hands on a towel and took one of the teas from the counter. Two? Wow I must really be something to get special treatment like this. Better not tell my boyfriend about this, the princess teased with a wink. After taking a sip from one of the cups and setting it back down, she slid around the counter and headed in his direction. Standing on her toes she wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at him with a smile. Thank you for grabbing those, she said as she leaned in for a kiss. Sera constantly found herself craving his kisses and longing to be anywhere near him. Their rooms weren’t that far apart, but when he wasn’t around she missed him like crazy. That wasn’t anything new, but with their new relationship Sera wanted to be with him every possible minute there was.

The princess grabbed her cup from the counter and headed for the living room not really sure what she felt like doing other than remaining close to her boyfriend. She set her tea down on the coffee table and moved her books to sit underneath it. The clunky text books were bound to break the glass table eventually and the thought made her cringe as she remembered the incident that left the scar on her back. Kalli had tried to persuade her to get something done about it when she had first seen it, but Sera of course turned her down because she had already tried doing something and her parents didn’t approve. She was basically going to have to live with the scar which wasn’t really that difficult anyway since she couldn’t see it. As her thoughts went from Kalli to the present she remembered that she had to remind Yann about their ‘test’. Oh Yanni before I forget, we are studying for a large exam. So if Kalli tries to talk to you or come over we can’t. Okay? Sera still hadn’t told her friend about her and Yann, but that was a detail that she wasn’t ready to give Kalli. The girl did tend to let secrets slip quite easily and all she needed was for things to start going bad. She sat down on the couch and suddenly got a chill up her spine. With a frown she glanced around before looking back at Yann. Yann? Would you mind checking my dorm for bugs? I keep getting this weird feeling that somebody is watching me. Sera offered him small smile, maybe she was still acting paranoid. Sven still hadn’t completely left her mind as of yet and she was beginning to wonder whether that was why she was getting the odd feelings. If it wasn’t for Yann though, she’d probably still be living with the fear that Sven would find some way to repeat his act. Now that she knew everything was taken care of it made her life a little bit easier. Sera still felt terrible for dragging Yann away from the ballroom that night and now seemed like the perfect time to make it up to him. The princess stood and walked over to one of the shelves where her radio and ipod sat. I’ve got a surprise for you Yanni. Do you want to know what it is? She asked as she turned to face him and played with the diamond that hung from her necklace.

Yann thought Séra looked adorable standing there by the sink, but he didn’t know how to tell her that. She was a princess, but she wasn’t above doing her own chores, and it was one of the things that he loved about her, and had loved ever since he could properly remember. There was just something about her that always drew him back in, and he would never, ever have it stop or change into something else. His amusement spiked as she talked about her roommate though. And here I thought Casey was the perfect roomie, he teased her in a bemused voice, as he stepped further into the room and place the drinks on the counter next to him, you always gush about how good of a friend she is in the normal world. But as far as he could see, the dishes really weren’t the girl’s strong point, and he wouldn’t hold it against her right now, but of course she wasn’t HIS roomie, and never would be, luckily. Auggie was giving him a hard enough time about her admiring Yann to begin with, he didn’t need additional complications. Speaking of, he needed to really text his best friend after the day was done to see if he had survived it without eternal bruising from Tornado. That horse had a nasty kick and a vicious bite. But it looks like you’re almost done, so kudos to you, Yann added to wrap that subject up on his part as he glanced at the sink again and notice that most of the dishes were already in the soapy water and not on the other end, all dried up. He laughed softly when she saw he’d gotten her two drinks, and shrugged his shoulders, Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me. And I supposed you deserve the both of them if it was going to be a long day. His smile brightened when she came to him, and Yann wrapped his arms around her on instinct, returning the kiss with a gentle one of his own. You’re welcome. Sharing these small moments with her seemed to bring out the best in Yann, especially since he was normally pretty reserved about any PDA at any point, even in the privacy of their rooms. He was just not the most touchy-feely kind of person, but Séra was making him discover that maybe it wasn’t all so bad.

He let her go as she took one of the teas and walked into the living room, and he turned to take his own before following her, shrugging out of his jacket as he did so and draping it across one of the kitchen chairs while he padded after the princess. Arching an eyebrow at what she told him, he wondered whether there was something he didn’t know about and he’d end up in the middle of a crossfire in the end. Alright, large test, difficult one, got it. Why the secrecy thought? Did anything happen? Yann was blissfully oblivious to anything that could have caused this little ruprute and that it had anything to do with him. He kind of wasn’t the type of guy who’d notice stuff like that, and besides, it was in the past to him and things were now looking up, so Kalli’s involvement might have just gone unnoticed to him. He just wasn’t the type to even worry. He watched her as she sat down, and then frowned at her request and placed his cup on one of the shelves beside where he had been standing. My dad went through your dorm the last time he was here, there’s no way anything would’ve been in it. His hand lightly touched her shoulder in a reassuring manner, and he smiled, Let me just do a quick scan to make you feel better, okay? His fingers touched her cheek before he lifted his eyes to look at what was behind her, and what items were in this room. There didn’t seem to be anything out of order, but really, you never knew. Shaking his head that he was actually doing this, given that Simon wasn’t in the habbit of missing spots, the tall man stepped to the wall behind the couch and randomly moved stuff around, his mind trying to find anything he might recognize. Looking back across his shoulder when Séra spoke again, he smiled, I’m kind of sure you’ll let me know in about half a minute regardless of what I say, but then you know surprises from you tend to be good. What is it? His fingers moved some books around and he accidentally bumped them into the wall, making him wince as he pulled them back, but ended up discovering one was stuck. It was a casual thing, just the outer folding getting caught on something, and Yann shook his head, careful as he leaned in to rescue it – and his fingers touched a small, minuscule object right underneath it. Careful to put the book where it was without further disturbance, Yann’s fingers worked to free whatever was there, and he lifted a hand for Séra to pause whatever she was doing. He needed to concentrate for a moment. Finally, he plucked it out, and turned the tiny thing around, noticing a small sign of what looked to be something someone had tampered with, a sign of ... Yann’s hand reached for the phone in his pocket. Think we could take the surprise elsewhere? he asked in Séra’s direction as the phone rang, and then he was on the other conversation. We have a problem. Simon’s voice sounded sleepy on the other end for a moment, before straightening out. Now what? Don’t tell me it’s the book series again. I might have to burn all exisiting copies in the guard. Yann's mind raced through coded words. The weather’s bad. There was silence. Is it raining? He was looking at the engraved sign. Storming. There were curses, and sound of movement. Find shelter. I’ll send a car. Yann hung up and looked at Séra. Grab my jacket and the cups, will you?

A smirk made its way onto her face at his comment about Casey being the perfect roommate. Well in every other aspect she really was, but keeping a clean apartment was a whole other story. Sera had been cleaning up after Casey from the first day they had met and she had a feeling that her roommate knew that Sera liked things clean and in order, so she purposely left stuff around. Whatever the reason though, the princess let the incidents slip because her roommate kept her secret about being a princess. She was pretty sure that any other roommate she would’ve gotten would’ve leaked information the moment they found out. Well aside from the laziness she really is, but she knows that I can’t stand living in a mess, she replied with a shrug. I have a feeling that she does it on purpose because she knows I’ll clean up her mess. A sigh escaped her and she shook her head as he mentioned how she talked about her in the normal world. Honestly the only reason I say those things is because she keeps my identity a secret. She’s a decent girl, but not somebody I’d consider a close friend. Am I a terrible person for thinking this? As she looked down at the dishes he mentioned, she nodded. The scraping part of the dishes was finally done, but she still had to finish up rinsing them off and drying them. Her gaze rose from the dishes and up to her boyfriend and she offered him a flirty smile. Would you mind helping me dry so that we can get on with what I’ve got planned? Please Yanni? Sera laughed lightly when he said he’d keep her secret and she was glad that he had thought to bring two because she did tend to go through tea rather quickly. Oh good because I’m pretty sure my boyfriend’s some kind of ninja. He could kick anybody’s ass, she replied with a smirk. Well thank you for that. You know me very well because I can guarantee my first cup will be gone within the half hour. When she walked over to him and he took her in his arms the princess felt complete. Now this was something that she had been missing all morning and was the one thing that ran through her mind as she sat through her classes.

Sera shrugged when Yann asked why she was avoiding Kalli and that was something she was definitely not going to tell him. She didn’t want to bring what had happened before up again because she knew that she should have thought before she acted. Even Ade had questioned her thinking when Sera told her that she did what Kalli told her to. There’s not really any reason, I just want a little space from her is all. It just feels like she’s invading my personal space. You on the other hand I’ll allow to invade my personal space because you’re special like that.Yann was pretty much the exception to everything when it came to her. She welcomed his touch and affections because even on the worst of days he had the ability to make her feel a lot better. Sera felt bad having to ask Yann to check her apartment because she knew Simon’s checks were very thorough and that he wouldn’t leave anything behind. The thing was, Casey had the habit of letting people into their dorm without telling Sera and when the princess wasn’t there who knew what could’ve happened. She still had a feeling that she was just being paranoid, but it was better to be safe than sorry. I know that Yanni, but Casey does let people come in when I’m not here and I don’t trust some of her friends. I trust you and your father with my life, but I can’t shake this feeling. As he placed his hand on her shoulder she brought hers onto his and offered him a small smile. Thank you. I’ll feel better once you prove me crazy, she said knowing that it wouldn’t be the first time that she found herself acting a little crazy. Her eyes closed as he touched her cheek and she took in a deep breath feeling a lot calmer than she had been a few seconds ago. She sat quietly at first as he went behind the couch, but then she felt the need to get up and do something. Sitting there was bothering her, so she figured she’d get the radio together for her surprise. Well that is very true though I couldn’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to know what your surprise is, she teased knowing that the last time she had surprised him it was with the lap dance. Any ways, I was thinking about the night of the gala and I want to do something to thank you for everything that you’ve done. Sera turned around and watched him for a moment before she opened her mouth to tell him what his surprise was going to be, but as he held his hand up her stomach churned and she held her breath. Had she actually been right about her dorm being bugged? That would definitely make things a lot more complicated and give her more reason to be paranoid. The princess squinted as she watched him look at something tiny in his hand. What the hell was that? She bit her bottom lip and glanced around the room hoping that there weren’t any more. When Yann reached for the phone she knew something was definitely wrong, but she nodded when he asked if they could continue somewhere else. Um, sure. Sera reached for her ipod and shoved it in her pocket as a frown grew on her face. She remained silent as she listened to Yann talk to whom she would assume was his father about the weather. The weather? Why was he talking about that? Her gaze went to the window and she shook her head a bit confused. There was no storm happening outside. She walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist, her head resting against his chest in need of a bit of contact. Sera stepped away when he asked her to retrieve his jacket and the cups that were in the kitchen. With a nod she grabbed her cup and the one Yann had left in living room and then headed into the kitchen. The cups were all placed in the carrier on the counter and she spotted his jacket on the back of a chair. She picked up his jacket, took the cup carrier and headed back into the living room. I’m just going to grab my purse ok? The princess headed straight for her bedroom where she grabbed her purse that was sitting on her bed. She glanced inside to make sure she had all of the essentials and then met Yann back in the living room. Yanni, what’s going on?

It was odd to Yann that Séra would complain about anything, she wasn’t normally a complainer and so he didn’t know her as such. And this wasn’t really something that much to complain about either, so he was glad she didn’t make a total fuss about it. Still, seeing the dishes and wondering how someone can make such a huge mess left Yann doubting whether Casey was actually a good roommate to the princess or not. Well, after spring break was over or whenever Casey was leaving, he would be moving in here anyway, so there was no need to worry about stuff that would ne inconsequential anyway. Maybe. Maybe you should kind of just dump the dishes onto her bed sometime and make her clean them, he suggested with an amused expression on his face, shaking his head and sighing softly at the thought. He didn’t like messes either, and his room looked pretty Spartan like with a less was more concept. Yann hated any possessions that he could eventually lose. There wasn’t much that he wanted to keep in his life, and he sure as hell didn’t want to start the trend now. No, it makes you realistic, he replied to what Séra said next, smiling a bit more, besides, not many people would be willing to hide the fact they’re rooming with a princess, so we need to give Casey points for that. He put the cups down and took up one of the cloths he could see, taking one of the dishes from the princess upon her plea and smiling as he started wiping it dry. Sure. And hah, ninja alright. I’m pretty sure he just does a lot of working out, he teased her with a grin on his face and then a nod of ‘you’re welcome’ for the additional cup of tea he’d gotten her. He kind of figured she’d actually need it. Tweaking her nose a little bit, Yann lightly pecked her lips again before letting her go so she could move around.

As for Kalli, Yann wondered whether the two had had an argument that he didn’t know about, and he’d be expected to listen to a certain Greek princess raging over the phone or IM or in person, when she actually arrived here. He didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know, but given that he knew Séra liked keeping her friends around, there had to have been something serious, not that he’d push the subject. He kind of got the feeling that his princess didn’t want to talk about this. Alright dully noted. You just make sure you don’t keep the distance too long, you know you like hanging out with her. When it came to him and her personal space though, he had to chuckle, I’l definitely take it as a compliment then. He smiled more and ran his hand through his short hair, which would be in need of getting cut even shorter soon, since it was growing out and he didn’t have the patience with it. Not with his job, and not with the fact that he got to hear encores of his fellows reading out of certain books. Nope. His thoughts turned to Casey and her habbit, which he’d known nothing about, and Simon hadn’t either or else he wouldn’t have placed the girl with Séra. It wasn’t a good bit of news either, but he forced a smile onto his face and lightly patted her shoulder, Don’t worry, you know my dad’s going to go through this place before the end of Spring break again anyway, he’s a bit of a maniac when it comes down to it. Then again they all loved him that way, and Yann couldn’t blame him. He was only partly listening to Séra now that he was looking for the things he’d been trained to look for ever since he could properly distinguish a bug from an actual, living creature. His mother had helped with that one, given she never really went ballistic when a bug bug was discovered, but when Simon planted bugs for his son’s training, she simply rolled her eyes. It was a big difference. Yann nodded absent-mindedly towards the princess, but as soon as he found the tiny little thing, he was already placing the call and making sure his father knew about this. Then, once the conversation was over, he gave directions to Séra and put his jacket back on, taking the carrier and waiting for her, leaving the small item where he’d found it, carefully putting the books back. Once she was back with him, Yann shook his head and guided her out of her dorm and into the hallway. We’re relocating to my room. HIS was certainly clean, they checked through the guard rooms every week on rotation, which was also why none of the guards had much in them. Made it more difficult to hide stuff. He guided Séra into it without having much conversation, and once he was there, he did a quick sweep just to make sure, but as he had known before, it was clean. Casey seems to’ve let someone into your dorm that shouldn’t have been there; I found a bug, and I’m pretty sure there’s more of them. My dad’s catching the first flight out of Luxembourg to the US. There were feet headed up the corridor in the direction they’d come from previously. It’s our code red; they’re going to lock your dorm down until he can get here, so you’ll be bunking with me until then.

A laugh escaped her at the thought of dumping all of the dirty dishes onto Casey’s bed. It wasn’t really something that she had really contemplated, but Yann’s idea was something she approved of. Sera couldn’t honestly see her roommate actually cleaning the dishes if she left them on the bed. Casey was more of a dispose of the plates and buy new ones kind of person. The princess on the other hand didn’t like the idea of getting rid of the used dishes when all she had to do was wash them. It just seemed like a waste to her. That’s quite interesting to hear you say that. I don’t think she’d clean them though, just toss them to the side. Do you have any other diabolical plans I should know about? At this point she’d be willing to do anything just because it sounded like fun. Her spirituality class had drained all of the fun out of her day and because she had promised herself to be more behaved for her boyfriend; she was going to let him call the shots. When he told her that she was being realistic, Sera nodded feeling slightly better for what she had said. That we do. It must be my stellar personality that persuaded her to keep quiet, she joked before glancing up at Yann. Or maybe, it’s my hottie for a boyfriend that’s keeping her in line. She’s probably hoping that she’ll eventually get a chance to be with you. The idea of that made Sera a little angry because he was one thing that she did not like to share and never would. A thankful smile grew on her face as he came over and helped her dry the dishes. Sera giggled when he said that he just works out a lot. No he’s definitely ninja, but who’s to say that ninjas don’t work out? After all, they need to build up and maintain muscle too, she said as she turned to him and ran her hands up his arms, over his shoulders stopping as wrapped her arms around his neck. Especially since he has to drag me around most of the time. I’m quite the trouble maker you know, she remarked with a smirk.

Sera didn’t really feel like explaining the whole situation to Yann especially since she was still slightly embarrassed about what she had done. The princess wasn’t used to being turned down and the fact that she was turned down by one of the most important people in her life made things a little worse. Her gaze fell on Yann and she offered him a smile. Right now she just wanted him to think that there was nothing going on and she hoped that by being her usual cheery self he would let it go. Of course. She said and then took a sip of her tea. A content sigh left her as she closed her eyes for a moment. There’s no need to worry Yanni, everything’s fine. I just want to try a weekend without all of the craziness. Sera smirked when he said that he’d take her next comment as a compliment, she liked when he was in her personal space and would willingly welcome that at any time. Good, you should. Just don’t let it go to that gorgeous head of yours, she teased knowing that he deserved more than just praise. The princess had a feeling that Yann wouldn’t be too happy when he heard about the random guests that would stop by. She didn’t like having them stop by either, but some of them weren’t too bad. Most of the time Casey and her guests would leave within the hour that they stepped into the dorm, but that didn’t mean that they left when she wasn’t around. Yes and I’m very glad that he does. It always feels good to know that I have one less thing to worry about each day. Her guard was amazing and she had Simon and Yann to thank for that. She truly felt a lot of weight lifted off of her shoulders because of all of their hard work and dedication. The princess could feel a change in the atmosphere and all of the good feelings left her. Sera was worried, but she had to stay strong for Yann. He didn’t need her freaking out and she didn’t want to be the one who made things worse for them. When she came back from her bedroom with her purse she looked to Yann and then followed as they stepped out of her dorm and into the hallway. She nodded when he said that they were moving to his room and she laced her hand in his trying her best to stop her shaking. Her thoughts went to his room as she tried to think about anything other than what was currently going on. Sera couldn’t remember ever being in his room before and she was a little curious as to what it would look like. Once they made it there, she went inside and stood by the door as he checked the room. When he told her that he had found a bug and was sure there was more her eyes widened and she bit her lip. That wasn’t something she wanted to hear and she could feel herself slowly growing uneasy. Oh my God, she whispered and brought her gaze up to his. The crazy feeling was actually real and she was beyond shocked that something like this was happening. Sera nodded when Yann told her that she would be staying with him until Simon got to Brown. Okay. Right now she wasn’t really sure what to feel, she just wanted to concentrate on not collapsing. She found herself walking quickly to him and burying her face in the junction between his neck and shoulder, her arms wrapped around his neck and she took in a deep breath. What am I supposed to do now? I can’t do this Yanni, I can’t…

Yann arched an eyebrow at what Sra said, since he couldn’t imagine anyone actually doing that, but hey, he didn’t know Casey as well as she did, apparently. And as far as everything went, he didn’t feel like getting to know her any better, she was simply the other roommate who would be leaving soon, and that was all he had to know about her in his opinion. Not immediately, no, but I’ll let you know if anything pops up, he replied with a small laugh on the topic, shaking his head at her and simply smiling. She was being adorable right now. As to the other subject, he didn’t find it funny at all, but hey, if she wanted to joke about that ... Well she’ll have a hard time succeeding, I’m kind of more of a blondes person myself, and as if I recall, she was a brunette last time I saw her, he responded nonchalantly, giving Séra a smile as he said that, just to make her feel better, besides, blondes have more fun anyway. Ninjas and comics, what else would she come up with? Not only was she definitely amusing him with this, she was making herself far more endearing than he could have thought by simply teasing him like this. This was the princess he knew and loved, not the one who seemed to be going full-throttle for something he wasn’t ready for. He wasn’t entirely sure that SHE was ready for it as well, she’d only been acting under influence of someone else, and he didn’t think that was the best idea. He loved her just the way she was, without any additional help from any side, and he didn’t need her to become anyone else in the process of loving him. All Yann wanted was for Séra to be who she really was when she was with him, and there was nothing that could ever change his mind about that. She was perfect, to him, without any embellishments or anything else that could potentially ruin her natural picture for him.

He smiled when she slipped her arms around his neck again, and pulled her close into a gentle hug, lightly nuzzling her nose in an affectionate gesture. Normally he wasn’t the touchy-feely type of person, but honestly, she was bringing out the very best of him, and all he wanted to do was curl up in a corner and cuddle with her. He sounds like he’s got nerves of steel, he teased her in return, shaking his head. The fact that she would be trying to spend a weekend without Kallis’ interference with anything should have probably warned Yann that there was more to this than met the eye, but he had never been that good at figuring women out, and out of everyone, he knew Séra the best, so if she wanted space, then she would take the space. But he was glad she didn’t include him in the whole process, because that would mean spending time without her, which he only did when he was sleeping. Not only was it bad on his nerves, but he was also finding that he simply didn’t want to be away from her for longer than necessary. It made him worry ... and it made him anxious because their relationship was so new and fragile. So he nodded and then grinned when she told him not to let it go to his head, and he swept her a cheeky bow, I’ll try not to. But of course he was kidding, there was something to be said about self-control, and Yann had heaps of THAT. But right now he had to worry about the whole bugging issue, something neither he nor Simon were going to be happy about, though for this moment, he was surehis father was already in a car driving to the airport to take the first flight out. He would be flying commercial, that was obvious, if he could, but then if he couldn’t, depending on what time it was, then he would take the private jet which had been returned to Luxembourg a while back. In any case, Simon was going to be on campus as soon as he humanly could, and then woe to anyone he found connected to the bugging issue. The King and Queen would be more heavily protected than ever, and Yann was going to be doing extra duties here on this side of the ocean. Once inside his room, he relaxed, given that he knew it was safe. He hadn’t spoken much more in Séra’s because he didn’t know how much the bugger had been able to hear already. She was in his arms suddenly, and Yann hugged her close. Shhh shh, Séra, it’s going to be fine. My dad’s coming over and I swear he’s going to kick some serious ass. You know what he’s like when he’s pissed off, and THIS pissed him off. He hugged her tighter. I won’t let anyone hurt you, I promise. You know I won’t. You’re safe with me, princess. For better or for worse. For the time being, you’ll just have to bunk with me a little bit. It won’t be that bad, will it? he tipped her face up to him to gauge her expression.

Sera didn’t really picture Yann being one for crazy ideas that could get them in trouble. So she didn’t really expect him to have anything diabolical planned, but his previous suggestion still surprised her none the less. She liked when he was a little feisty, it was something that she still had to get used to being that he usually avoided acting that way before they got together. A smirk grew on her face as he laughed at what she had said, please do. You know me, I’m always for the diabolical plans especially when you’re concerned. She replied with a wink in his direction. The princess laughed when he said that he preferred blondes to brunettes because she knew that he was uncomfortable with the fact that Casey had a thing for him. Not that she blamed him, Sera knew she had plenty of admirers of her own and every time she was told that they were crushing on her she got the chills. Teasing Yann however, was all she used that knowledge for. Honestly she didn’t like knowing that her roommate had a crush on him and at some points it made it difficult to live with her. I think you’re a little biased my dear, but you are correct. When she left here she was brunette, but I could swear I heard her say she was going blonde once she arrived back in her home town. She said something about not trusting the stylists out here… She replied teasingly though she was pretty sure that Casey planned on getting a haircut while she was away. Sera smiled brightly at him nodding in agreement with his statement about blondes having more fun. Maybe it was true, maybe it wasn’t, but either way Sera had plenty of fun…except in her spirituality class. That they do. Maybe we should take you out in the sun, so you can join in on the constant party, she teased lightly knowing that he wasn’t the biggest fan of the sun when it bleached his head. Sera felt giddy as he pulled her in closer and nuzzled her nose, she liked the feeling and was slightly surprised that Yann was doing some of this. Especially since he wasn’t always the touchy feely kind of person. A laugh escaped her at the mention of nerves of steel. Yann was pretty much your real life iron man, but instead of being iron he was steel. He pretty much needed to be though especially since he was her bodyguard and then there was being her boyfriend which would eventually involve her parents…hopefully. Oh he does, believe me. He did when we were kids too it makes me proud to see that he turned out to be the amazing man I knew he was going to be when I was younger. You do know that don’t you Yann? When she was younger Sera had pretty much pegged him her super hero from the start.

The princess could tell that her boyfriend knew there was something going on between her and Kalli, but she was happy when he didn’t push her to tell him about it. She wasn’t going to lie, it was going to be interesting to see how things turned out after her Kalli free weekend, but she had a feeling that she was going to cave anyways. The more she thought about the incident, the less angry she was with her friend. Sera still didn’t want her to come and visit, but a text or two would be tolerable. She arched brow as he cheekily bowed to her after her comment about letting her compliment get to his head. Placing her hands on her hips, she replied teasingly in kind. Good because as much as I’d like to see you lose control, I don’t think you could handle it and then it’d be my turn to save your ass. Though of course she knew that his control was nothing short of perfection. He had proven that when he stopped her during her little dance routine which she knew wasn’t an easy feat for him. In his room and in his arms Sera closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She listened to his soothing and immediately realized that she had overreacted quite a bit. Inwardly she frowned at herself for being that way, she had complete faith in Simon and her boyfriend, so there really was no need to freak out like she had. I know, I’m sorry. My emotions are all over the place today and then this happened…I overreacted, I’m sorry she said as she momentarily angled her head differently so he could hear her. It felt good being in his arms and a lot of her worries went away. His words were really sweet and she knew he was telling the truth. Nothing could ever be bad when I’m with you, she replied with a small smile and then leaned in close to whisper in his ear. I love you. Sera wasn’t sure whether she could say that out loud around here, not that she really cared if anybody knew how she felt about Yann. The problem was that they’d probably tell her parents and then things would get all screwed up. She turned her head away from the junction between his shoulder and neck and looked in the opposite direction not wanting to leave his arms. As she glanced around she smiled slightly surprised to see a lack of décor in the room. Once he moved in with her that was going to change because she liked having rooms full of décor. Wow Yanni, I think this is the first time I've been in your room. Ever, she said and glanced up at him with a small smile. I’ve got to say…love what you've done to the place. You are truly the master of simplicity when it comes to interior decorating. She teased giving him a light kiss on the cheek.

Being crazy wasn’t really on Yann’s agenda, mostly because Séra did a good thing for the both of them, she didn’t need him to help her out. There was just something about the whole institution that made Yann cringe. After all, he was supposedly her bodyguard, which meant he needed to keep his mind on track, he needed to be serious about things, and he most certainly needed not to get involved in anything worse than a prank or two. Then again, he did need to let loose from time to time as well, not that he would be saying it out loud soon, especially with a father like his own. It was just not possible. I’ll see what I can do, he told her with a grin in her direction, shaking his head. The whole Casey topic, however, was starting to get to him. She was a nice girl as far as he knew and as far as he had seen her, but all the attention she was giving him was starting to bug him in the long run. There was no way he could ever give her adequate attention of his own when Séra was right around the corner, and so he didn’t even hide his cringe this time around, That’s ridiculous, she looks just fine the way she is, she doesn’t need to go blonde. And of course, the underlying topic of this was that she didn’t need to do anything to get his attention as it wouldn’t work regardless. As for her sun comment, he simply smirked and ignored it, rolling his eyes. She knew how much he hated it when the sun bleached his hair, it took forever to get it back to his natural colour then, and he wasn’t about to go through something like it if he could help it. Sure he did all the bodyguard duties on the beach as well, but he preferred not to. Her praise made him want to blush, but he’d gotten over that phase a while ago and so he didn’t need to worry about that. He did, however, smile thankfully as she stood on tiptoe to be close to him. Well no, I didn’t know that, but I do now – thank you, he told her with a fond smile on his face and his thumbs running circles against her lower back.

He gave Séra a look that could only be described as ‘shut up’. You don’t know that do you? But then again, control’s something I’ve been taught to handle as soon as I could walk. Trust me, between the two of us, if anyone would be bettr at losing control and getting back on track, it’d be me. He smiled tightly, because his mind was already full of what exactly was going on in the dorms right now, or more specifically HER dorm. The footsteps in the hallway told him that some of the guys had gotten a call from Luxembourg and had gotten dispatched to clear the room and make all the bugs visible so Simon could see them when he arrived without having to crawl and climb on his own. There was a series of knocks on the door, but Yann didn’t move, it was just to tell him that it was secure and that someone was watching it from the outside too. They were as safe in here as they could possibly be in the palace in their homecountry. His hands ran up and down hr back soothingly as he murmured to Séra to keep her from collapsing entirely. It’s okay, I promise – you’re fine. His expression was open and sincere and calm, he didn’t need to show her the worry that was eating at him over this found fact about the bugs in her room, especially not with his father on the way. As soon as Simon landed and got on campus, things would probably go wild and there would have to be a lot of running around in the end. Yann smiled at her declaration and lightly pressed his lips to her temple. I love you too, you crazy princess. She WAS crazy in a way, but he loved her all the same. Without the craziness, his life would’ve been dull, and he didn’t do well with dull. His hands remained where they were as one of what looked to be a black blob on his desk sprang to life with the activity between the other guards. He shifted so that he could turn it off and place it back, with the frequency that would only allow calls especially for him to be made. Séra’s comment made him chuckle. I kind of spend more time in your room anyway, no point in decorating mine, he told her, guiding her towards the bed so they could sit down, besides, decorating is overrated. The room’s just fine as it is right now – easier to see stuff. Especially bugs since they couldn’t really be hidden in many places now could they?

The princess smiled and nodded when he commented about the diabolical plan. One day she was going to have to take him to her secret spot in Luxembourg and there they would be able to do whatever it was they pleased without having to worry about the public eye or making things crazy. Unless of course they planned on coming up with something crazy to bring back to the palace. Sera couldn’t remember whether she had ever taken him to the secret spot and she looked up at him curiously. Yanni, have I ever taken you to my secret spot back home in Luxembourg? It was the place that she had discovered while hiding from Yann when they were younger. Ever since then she would disappear there when she needed time to think or just wanted to get away from the palace. She shrugged when Yann said that Casey looked fine the way she did. Sera agreed with him, but she wasn’t going to get in the way of her roommate. Well if she goes blonde maybe I should go brunette. What do you think Yanni what color would you like to see on me? She asked with a curious smile. It wasn’t like she planned on dying her hair anytime soon; she just wanted to get an idea so she could start coming up with ideas and looking around to see what shades she liked from other people. Sera inwardly laughed as Yann rolled his eyes when she mentioned the summery bleaching his hair could get. That’s why she was going to have to remember to bring a hat for him whenever they went somewhere that would require being in the sun for lengthy periods of time. She was sure that it would be something that he would appreciate. As he thanked her she gave him an affectionate smile and rested her head against his chest bring her arms from around his neck and around his waist in an embrace. You’re welcome, she replied and hugged him a little tighter. At his look though she raised a brow playfully. Oh I know you’d be the one to get back on track. Once I set my mind to losing control I usually don’t want to come back anyways, Sera said simply with a slight shrug of her shoulders, Maybe you’ll have to teach me your secret. Though of course she knew it would only be a matter of battling her will and usually she liked being a little crazy. It made things more interesting and sometimes even made her day a little brighter.

Sera felt herself calming down slightly now that she was in the arms of her boyfriend, but she knew she was going to have to pull herself together in order to accomplish what ever needed to be done. If she went crazy on everybody like she just did, then they’d be screwed. A thought came to her that made her cringe. What if this had happened back in Luxembourg and she was queen? Or what if she acted like this during some kind of crisis? Her people who would look up to her for guidance would all be freaking out and chaos would break out. That wasn’t something that she wanted nor needed. As Yann’s hand moved up and down her back she took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. It’s a good thing I’m not ruling Luxembourg yet. If I would’ve freaked out like that over something else… a shiver ran down her spine and she frowned. Her gaze fell on his face and she wished that she could keep calm like him. It was just something she was going to have to work on though she hoped that it wouldn’t have to be something as terrible as the current situation. A grin grew on her face as he returned her love and called her crazy. I’m glad, I’d probably combust if you didn’t, she replied and brushed a hand lightly along his jaw line. It’s going to be so hard not touching and kissing you when your father gets here. A sigh accompanied her statement and she brushed her fingers lightly across his lips. The series of knocks on the door made her jump at first, but she soon let that go and followed Yann to his bed. With a small smile she sat and nodded at what he said about being in her room most of the time. That’s true, you do. I wonder why that is… she teased as she pretended to think. Sera liked décor and she liked interior decorating. Her project for the summer was to eventually redecorate various rooms at the palace because it was fun. Yes, I think I like this though I’m not going to steal your idea. I’m too fond of my décor. This makes it easier to prevent distractions…I’ll have to remember that. Her gaze went around the room a few more times before she returned it back to Yann. Sera placed on of her hands in her pocket and suddenly remembered why she had stolen him away in the first place. She wanted to make it up to him since he missed all of the fun that would normally accompany a night at the gala. So before those bugs rudely interrupted our fun, I wanted to tell you that I had plans for us. With a smile she leaned forward and tilted her head slightly. Exactly how thick are the walls here? She asked and then bit her bottom lip as she wondered whether the guards outside would be able to hear their conversation or what she had planned. I need to know whether I have to keep my voice down or not.

[yann]

Secret spot? Yann was pretty sure he had no idea what her secret spot was, and he didn’t think he would ever get to know, there was a good reason why it was called ‘secret’ anyway. He kind of had a feeling he SHOULD know, just to be on the safe side of things, especially since he was responsible for her safety and all that, but he had a feeling that if it came down to it, with all the guards looking for her, they could find her eventually, and in very little time. Luxembourg guards were efficient, just like any of those who guarded their royal charges, but with the plus aspect (or minus, depending how you looked at it) that Simon seemed to be everywhere at once and made sure that people did their jobs. If not, they could be sure there would be hell to pay. I highly doubt it, otherwise it wouldn’t be secret anymore now would it? he said in a teasing manner, though there was open curiosity in his eyes. There was something about this secret spot that made him feel uneasy purely for the sake of the whole Sven issue, and now this bugging one. It was going to be a crazy ride, he could already tell. At the topic of hair colour, he arched an eyebrow. Brunette? Why would you go brunette? I like you just the way you are. But, come to think of it, changing hair colours might not have been the worst possible idea she’d ever had. But if we’re talking technicalities, then yes, I think you’d look good with brown hair, he added in an afterthought with a small smile on his face, returning the hug when she gave him one, and laughing softly on the topic of control. You had to be crazy not to know who would be the one to bring them BOTH back on track in this particular pairing. It’s just mind over matter, princess. I’m pretty sure you could do it easily enough if you tried. He smiled down at her and pressed his lips to the top of her head gently.

He held her until she was slightly calmer, knowing that she needed this. Yann was pretty good at reading Séra and right now, she needed more than just simple reassurance. To be honest he wasn’t feeling the best either, but anything he was feeling had to be pushed aside for the time being, just so he could watch over her. Of course if someone had suddenly appeared and pulled a gun out, Yann would probably have freaked in the worst possible way, which would probably have ended with the other guy pulled apart by bits and pieces. The bodyguard was fiercely protective of the princess, especially now when she was his girlfriend too, and the fact that he had loved her all his life was just an addition in this equation. He shook his head at Séra when she spoke though. If you’d have been Queen, then you would’ve been prepared for these type of things. You can’t blame yourself for reacting like this, you know. You’ll get better at it all, with time. And you know I’m always here. Anyon wanting to get to her would have to go over his dead body first, and anyone who actually knew Yann and his fierce protectiveness kind of also knew that it was next to mission impossible, unless someone took him out from a distance, but in that case they still had people spread out far and wide whenever they went anywhere with the royals. No one got to them while the guards were there. Her fingers were gentle against his jaw, and he smiled, though the instant she mentioned his father again, he had to cringe. There was no way they could be like this when Simon made it to the area. I hope you realize that my dad’ll skin me alive if he smells anything wrong here that he thinks is wrong, he pointed out with the same expression on his face, he’s overprotective of you ... even from himself. Simon was more complicated than he was complex, and he liked complicating things even more. He chuckled when she made fun of him being always in her room. That can change too you know. Two could play this game. He did have to agree with her on the distractions, though she was by now distracting him with talk of what she had planned. Yann was suddenly wary. Whenever Séra got an idea, it either exploded right in his face, or it somehow backfired to the point when he then had to make up sudden excuses to his dad about something. Should I be worried now? he asked with a small laugh, then shrugged at her question, Pretty thick, mine are thicker than yours, we reinforced them when we came here, it’ll probably be done for your dorm too once I move in. In case you haven’t noticed, some conversations I have are a little ... weird. As in, coded. So now I’m curious what you’re up to, you know. He eyed her, always careful.

A smile grew on her face at his teasing tone and she leaned her body into him shaking her head lightly. She was a little surprised that he didn’t know where her hideout was especially since he’s never too far away from her. That was something she was going to have to change since she wanted him to see where she found peace and hoped that they could go there together to get away from the palace whenever it was deemed necessary. The lovely flowers that grew there always had welcoming aromas and the pond seemed to be deep enough to swim in, though she had never tested it. And that was something that she didn’t plan on testing because she had no idea what kind of creatures could be living in there. How she managed to slip away from her security team was pretty amazing especially since they were always watching her. It made her wonder if they actually did know where she was and were just allowing her to think that she had a bit of privacy. Well it’d be secret to everybody but you, remind me to take you there when we go home, she replied knowing that he was right, but she didn’t care if he knew about where she liked to hide. It’s where I usually disappear to whenever I need to think. I used to hide there when I was little. It was great because when you couldn’t find me I’d get to sneak up on you. Sera liked to wait until he had his back turned and once she was close enough she’d jump on his back. Now that she thought about it, she was sure that Yann knew where she was once she was out of her secret spot and following him. The princess smiled brightly when he had told her that he liked her the way she was and questioned her idea of changing her hair color. I don’t know, it’d be something I’d do just for the hell of it. You know like one of those days that I’m feeling rebellious? I’m sure you’d much rather me dye my hair than get into trouble, she said with a wink in his direction. Trouble seemed to be something she was good at finding whether she wanted to or not. Usually though she was looking for it just to make things a bit more interesting. She arched a brow slightly and nodded when he said that he thought brown hair would suit her. Hmm maybe I’ll change it so it’s similar to yours. What do you think, dark or light color? I figure that since you have to look at me you should get to help with my decision. Sera didn’t really care what color she dyed her hair as long as Yann liked it. Now granted she wouldn’t dye it some crazy color, but if it was something normal then it didn’t really matter to her. She giggled when they started talking about control and that she knew Yann could easily beat her in no matter how hard she tried. Key word being try there, she started teasingly, I usually like a bit of chaos just because I like to drive you a bit crazy. Not that she intentionally went out to upset Yann, she just tended to find some way for him to keep busy whenever she went out.

Sera sighed lightly when he said that it wasn’t her fault for acting the way that she did. Now that was something that she couldn’t agree with. She was old enough to be able to control her emotions whether good or bad because she was royalty. Her etiquette training had taken care of that aspect long ago, or so she thought. Apparently she didn’t do too well in that department and needed to go back and brush up on it. I know, but still if anything like that did happen there’d be chaos in Lux and we couldn’t have that. And yes, I’m extremely thankful to have you my love. I’d be nothing without you, she replied as she stood on her toes to give him a quick kiss. Sera knew that if Yann hadn’t been there all throughout her life that she’d be pretty much in the same position that her cousin Jacqui was in now. Looking to give her title to her younger brother and then who knew what would happen after that. As soon as she mentioned his father she noticed him cringe and had to hold back a smile. She completely agreed with him and nodded at what he had said. Simon definitely would kill him if he had found anything different going on between them and she definitely wanted to keep her boyfriend around her as much as possible. I do which is why I’m going to do my very best to act like I used to. It’s going to be very difficult though. I love being close to you, she stated and then frowned as she tried to figure out how she was going to be able to pull this off. When Yann said that Simon was overprotective of her she smiled, so that’s where you got that from huh? Though she only meant to tease him. In truth she was very thankful that he was so protective of her. It made her feel wanted and loved. Sera stuck her tongue out at him when he said that his visits to her room could change. Oh really? You’re just going to ignore your girlfriend? I bet you wouldn’t be able to last a day without seeing or talking to me. Sera knew that she wouldn’t be able to last a few hours without seeing or talking to him, but she wasn’t about to let him know that. She wanted to laugh when he seemed to get a little nervous when she mentioned that she had plans for them. With a roll of her eyes she gave him a look that said ‘Do you really want to know?’ and then smirked. I don’t know, how do you feel about payback? She wasn’t going to say who was paying who back and what they’d be receiving, but in the end she hoped that they’d both enjoy it. When Yann said that the wall were pretty thick she let out a breath and smiled. Trying to keep things down and filter what she wanted to say to Yann would’ve been annoying had the walls been thin. Yes, I’ve noticed Mr. Weatherman, she teased and then rested her head back on his chest. Well I’ve been thinking a lot about the night of the gala lately and there’s something that I’ve wanted to do for you… Dragging him off the dance floor that night was a terrible thing to do and she had to make it up to him for being such a dreadful date. I felt bad for taking you to the gala and them pulling you away after a few dances, so I want to make it up to you, she said and looked up at him. Are you in the mood for a little dancing Yanni?

With the current developments, he was going to have to up his game a little bit, simply because there was no way in all the seven hells that he was going to let Séra out of his sight until they found out who bugged her dorm and caught the bastard. That would simply mean that he was going to have to tail her a little bit more than usual, which wasn’t something he was perfectly against, persay, but he did understand the value of privacy; then again, no royal seemed to have it when they opened the morning paper, so why did he bother? Well, for one thing, because he loved Séra, that’s why, and he wanted her to feel comfortable around him. The one good thing of him being her boyfriend AND her bodyguard was that this way she could always be protected, no matter what, because Yann was never going to let his skills get rusty or anything of the sort. Her life was just too precious for him to do that. Then it’ll be a good thing if I know where it is, he replied in agreement, smiling gently in her direction and shaking his head as she snuggled up against him, wrapping an arm leisurely around her waist as he rested against the wall, heaving a small sigh of content. If he knew where she was, at any given time of day, or whenever really, it would make him lose less sleep that way. I hate to break it to you, princess, but you’re kind of loud when you try sneaking up on someone, he added in a teasing manner after a moment, looking down at her and lightly pressing his nose against her hair. He’d always enjoyed those little games they’d played, but as soon as Simon had him doing full training rounds, Yann had realized that he didn’t necessarily have to see Séra to know what she was up to. It wasn’t something that made him supernatural – you just had to be really unobservant not to notice her sneaking up on you. Speaking about trouble and hair dyeing, made Yann cringe a little bit. It’s definitely better than you doing anything else that recquires anything out of your league of security, he commented dryly. The last time she’d wanted to ‘stir up some trouble’, she’d almost gone parachute jumping. That had nearly given Simon a heart attack as soon as he’d heard. Yann was now working on keeping his father’s blood pressure down as much as possible. And if you’re going to go for anything, I say go dark; it’ll make your eyes stand out more. Why bother if it wouldn’t actually be a change anyway?

He grimaced when she commented and pointed out that she liked driving him crazy. I really don’t appreciate it; I have a hard time keeping up with you on a dayly basis, any more excitement and I’ll have blood pressure problems like my dad, I think. Simon had actually started taking some calming classes lately so he wouldn’t explode at the first sign of something going wrong between his recruits. Sure he could be ice cold when actually on a mission, but the adrenaline was enough to very closely match that of the blood pressure ... and Yann didn’t need to find his dad in the hospital or anywhere else. The classes seemed to be working though, which was definitely a good thing in the long run. Maybe for the first five seconds, he brushed off what she was saying with a shrug of his shoulders, then you’d have it all under control again. You give yourself too little credit – if there were actually a crisis and you’d be a Queen, you’d put your people first. Which, in the end, would mean I’d probably have to drag you away eventually instead of you doing the smart thing and going on your own two feet. He grimaced, but smiled and retuned her gentle kiss when she bestowed it, sighing softly as they settled in for a comfortable afternoon together. It was definitely better than spending it listening to the guys reading out of books. Yann was just glad to be with Séra no matter what. But it was true that Simon was like a hound on the hunt when he needed to fix something, and if he figured something wasn’t right ... well. Yeah well hopefully the trail leads him some place else soon and he won’t stick around for long, he commented dryly, and then rolled his eyes when she stuck her tongue out at him, hey, I’m better at the self-control thing than you, remember? I would if I had to. Of course it would be a pain in the butt, but Yann kind of had a feeling that he COULD do it ... if he really had to. Not that he wanted to, because he liked being around his princess, but if push came to show ... He frowned at her next though, something he seemed to be doing a lot of lately. Payback? Meaning ... ? He was more confused than nervous though. She wouldn’t put him through anything he didn’t like, he knew that. He ignored the weatherman comment and just listened to see what she’d come up with. Dancing? Dancing he could do. You don’t have to feel guilty – but you know I always love dancing with you, he added in an afterthought with a small smile, looking down at where she was curled up against his chest, So that’s why you stole the iPod with you when we left your room, huh? Things made sense now, a lot more sense than before.

Sera smiled back at him glad that he was ok with her having a secret place and even gladder to know that soon he’d be joining her in there. She hoped that it would be a place that they could go to whenever they needed to get away from the ever careful eye of Simon or her parents. There was of course her suite, but when the weather is nice sitting inside isn’t exactly something she is very keen on doing. Plus anybody could walk in on them together and then the charade that they had been working so hard to keep up would have been wasted. Maybe she’d have to enlist Raphie into keeping watch for them, she had no problem with him hanging out with them if it meant that he would be able to run interference on anybody that was stopping by. When she had talked to her brother about Yann he seemed very pleased with Sera’s decision to finally ask him out. Raphie was amazing and he had already offered his blessing to the two of them. It seemed like Raphael saw Yann as an older brother figure and it pleased her to know that she had his support because support was going to be something she would need if her parents found out about her relationship. I think so, how else are we supposed to rendezvous without getting caught? Sera had no problem giving her guards the slip and walk out of the palace unseen, but she knew that if anybody were to find her it’d be her boyfriend. Now that they would be able to meet up at her secret spot, it made pulling off their charade a lot easier. She only hoped that nobody would find out about it because only a few people were ever allowed in there and she trusted each and every one of them not to tell. The princess frowned slightly when Yann had said that she was loud when trying to sneak up on him. She had a feeling that whenever she was trying to sneak up on him whether it be now or when she was younger, Yann knew where she was and was just allowing her to think he didn’t. Oh really? I guess you’re just going to have to teach me how to change that. I’ll be sure to add it to the list along with my self-defense lessons, Sera replied with a playful grin. As Yann cringed at the mention of hair dye as a replacement for trouble she raised a brow with an amused smile. He definitely didn’t have to worry about finding her walking out of the salon with bright green hair or anything and she was sure her parents would’ve killed her even if she ever attempted it. They wouldn’t even let her get a tattoo, so bright colored hair was definitely out of the picture. I figured as much maybe I’ll have to do it sooner as opposed to later to give you guys a break, she replied thoughtfully. Sera supposed that she was in the mood for a little change and now she had basically gotten her boyfriend’s approval. He shouldn’t be surprised if she one day walked out with a different hair color. She offered him a small smile and nodded when he said that a darker shade of brown would be good for her. Alright, I’ll keep that in mind when I decide to go out and behave myself.

The princess had of course been playing with him when she said that she liked to drive him crazy. She didn’t wake up each day and decide whether she felt like annoying him or not. No, if anything she usually tried to do her own thing and keep herself entertained and if that entertainment happened to be dangerous, she didn’t really realize that it wasn’t helping her boyfriend at all. It was just in her nature to be a little adventurous. I’m sorry Yanni, I definitely don’t want that happening to you. Maybe I’ll have to teach you how to meditate to keep your blood pressure down, and that way we can do that together too. We should throw in some yoga too, she said with a smile at the end. Sera liked her meditation and yoga exercises; they really did help her to deal with all of the stresses in her life and she found herself feeling way better when she was finished with them. She had heard about Simon’s blood pressure not too long ago when she happened to hear a conversation between her father and Simon back at home. The princess felt bad for him because she knew he had a lot to deal with and all of it was basically stressful. Now she hoped that he would be able to keep the blood pressure down with those classes because she didn’t want to see her second father hurt. Sera shrugged lightly knowing that what he was saying was true. Of course I’d put them first provided that I wasn’t acting ridiculous. And your definitely right about the dragging me away part. Her people were usually very supportive of her, even when she was off doing crazy things. It was very touching and gave her more reason to want to take care of them, though she didn’t really need a reason because it was already something she felt necessary. It’s pretty difficult not helping them like I used to back at home. Sera understood what Yann was feeling when he said that he hoped his father would just be in for a quick visit. She loved the man dearly, but she didn’t trust him when it came to her new relationship with his son. That would be ideal, but I’m sure we could always find somewhere to be alone together if he doesn’t. A laugh escaped her when he hinted that he was the one who had better self control. Sera knew he did and didn’t need a reminder of that fact simply because she still had part of her failure stuck in her mind. I do remember, you’re like a modern day iron man, she teased and then pretended to be a little hurt by his saying he’d be able to ignore her if he had to. Well you might be able to, but I don’t think I could. I’d miss you too much. Missing him was pretty much the thing that took place even when she was texting him or had already seen him. If they weren’t together she felt alone and needed him there by her side. Sera shook her head lightly when he said that she didn’t have to feel guilty for ruining his gala experience, though of course his saying that didn’t help. She still would feel terrible because there was no getting that night back. Yes I do, it was terribly rude to pull you away from all of the activities in the ballroom and then you stayed with me all night and listened to me cry. There’s no way I’d not want to repay you for your being there for me I don’t think I would’ve made it through that moment alone. The princess wasn’t lying when she said that because she was pretty sure that she’d have stayed up all night with a terrible feeling in her gut and then felt even more like crap the next morning and would’ve locked herself into her room. I love dancing with you also, which is why I figured you’d like this idea, she replied and then smirked when he mentioned the ipod. It didn’t surprise her that he happened to catch her taking it with her, he was very observant after all. Maybe…I do happen to have a whole bunch of ballroom music on there and when I was teaching Casey how to do the waltz the other day for a wedding that she was going to stand up in and all I could think about was how much I really wanted do dance with you again.
