written in the stars [YANN]

[yann]

Meeting up with her without his father knowing was going to be difficult enough without adding any sort of secret hideout to the mixture, but Yann was confident in his own skills to know what he could or couldn’t pull off. This was something he could do, provided he wasn’t left stranded and on his own in it all, and as far as he could gather, Séra wasn’t about to just let him do all the work on his own, which was refreshing and definitely why he thought it was worth a shot. That sounds like a plan to me, but I warn you that the moment I see my dad starting to get suspicious, I’ll be doing some pulling back, just to be on the safe side. Simon was just a prick when he wanted to be, but Yann also knew he always had the best interests at heart, even if they possibly weren’t the wisest ones in the bunch. Teaching Séra how to sneak around unseen and unheard wasn’t ever going to be on his list of things to do, mainly out of defensive purposes. How on Earth was he supposed to know where she was if she would become silent and invisible like her agents? Yeah, not gonna happen, self-defense is as far as I’m gonna go on this, he replied with a shake of his head, wondering whether she was going to figure out why on her own or whether he was going to have to enlighten her about it. She was already a handful now that she was all over the place and basically giving everyone grey hair simply because she lived for the thrill of the moment, and Yann dreaded to think of the day when she’d figure out how to walk around silently. The havoc she’d cause would probably earn her more than just a couple of grudges, and she was an adrenaline junkie enough that she’d keep doing it for long enough so that she wouldn’t be able to stop, even on a day to day basis. He didn’t want to see her in any more trouble than she usually was though, which was one of the main reasons why he was going to stick to the very basics of his teaching her, and then do the rest of it himself. Much safer that way. He snorted at the meditation deal. You’re starting to sound like my mom – how about you just learn not to give me blood pressure at all? He was in a calm and teasing manner right now though, so it was all good.

Everyone knew that Yann would stop at nothing to protect the princess of Luxembourg, and it was something her father had already commented on, praising him for it though sometimes it seemed like the older man was simply biding his time to make a different kind of announcement nobody knew about but him, and Yann didn’t like that kind of thinking. He preferred the way his father dealt with things – straight forward and to the point, which meant that if and when you screwed up, you could basically expect a six foot something fury on the other end of your door the moment you got back to your room, which would then be followed by a berating, possibly reassignment and very likely boot camp. Simon didn’t like slackers and his men didn’t do mistakes often. When they did, they paid dearly, and so did the women too. There were some female bodyguards on the team, simply out of realistic and well, practical reasons. The Queen felt better with women around that could kick some serious trouble if needed. She had men as well, of course; Simon had, after that, asked Séra whether she would prefer a woman too, much to Yann’s horror. Luckily for him, that one hadn’t worked to his father’s advantage and he was still where he wanted to be. He sighed when Séra agreed with him – again. Sometimes, he wished he wouldn’t know her so well. That’s just what I was afraid of. I’m thinking that once you’re Queen, we’re going to have to double the amount of your personal guards just so the others have their sanity protected. The more the merrier they say. Also, the more hands on deck to drag Séra behind them was always better than less, in his opinion. Especially with her ... tendancy to get herself in trouble even when she seemingly didn’t want to. Like now, when they were talking about his father’s impending visit. Simon was already on a flight, if Yann knew him correctly, and they had hours left, that was about it. Then the man would definitely invade their personal space just to make sure everything was safe and sound. Urgh no thanks, out of all the Avengers, I kind of like Stark the least – he’s so annoying I want to strangle him every time he comes into the shot, he grumbled out good-naturedly, smiling, and I never said it would be easy for me. I just said I’d be able to do it easier because I’ve been trained for situations that could potentially endanger me. I irrevocably place my dad on the top of my danger list. It was a compliment to Simon, though also a curse, knowing your son would always fearfully respect you. Yann snorted when she went on about the ball. If by ‘activities’ you mean all the single girls that seem to tag along every time I appear in anything less but my official outfit, I hate to break it to you, but they don’t really hold much of an appeal to me. They never had. I’ll always put your needs first, Séra; you can count on that. That night was just the first proof, but not the last one. He loved her, more than he’d ever be able to tell. And he still needed to kill Sven for what he’d done to her. That one could wait though. Yann looked down at where she was nestled against him, and grinned, You’re actually serious about the dancing aren’t you? Yann enjoyed dancing – especially if it was with Séra, which was kind of obvious by this point.

Sera felt like she would be able to hide her feelings for Yann from Simon now that she thought about it. Sure she was acting a little differently around him now especially with her displays of affection, but it wasn’t so different that she wouldn’t be able to switch it off while Simon was around. Plus she figured that she was quite the actress when she wanted to be and was looking forward to the challenge of coming off as the flirty princess who was only too happy to have her body guard following around at her heels. Well then I guess we better start working on your acting skills Yanni. And if you start pulling back then I will find some way to get around your dad to be with you. Just saying. Even if that meant sneaking into his room in the middle of the night, though she would’ve done that now as well. A small frown accompanied Yann’s comment before it grew into a grin on her face. She knew why he wouldn’t want to teach her how to be stealthy and she couldn’t honestly blame him with his job and all. There was still a part of her though who wanted to be able to sneak up on her boyfriend when he was looking, so she just made it a personal goal to work on that on her own. After all, google was bound to have some kind of instructions on there. Scared that I’d be able to sneak up on you and actually scare you my love? That has to be it because I’m an angel and can do nothing wrong, she teased with a smirk. Finding trouble was like second nature to her, but she liked calling herself an angel just because she knew that that was in no way true. Sera rolled her eyes when Yann mentioned that she was starting to sound like his mother. Esther was an intelligent woman and her suggestions and opinions were usually quite similar to what Sera’s were. It was probably one of the reasons why the two of them got along so well, plus they both wanted what was best for Yann. The princess had decided a long time ago to be in cahoots with her and as far as they knew Yann wasn’t aware of it. Even if he did happen to figure it out, Sera would deny it because she knew he was more than capable of getting her back for teaming up with his mother. Ha! That means you need to start listening to the women in your life. If we are both saying the same thing then it means we’re right. Besides I can’t learn to not raise your blood pressure since it’s in my nature to do so, you’re just going to have to blame Biology on that one. So after my self defense lessons I will help you with meditation and yoga. They’ll be the perfect cool down. Yoga would probably have to be before meditation though because Sera liked to get all of the physical activities finished before she worked on what would bring down her energy and stress.

Just the thought of her whole country exploding into chaos gave her the chills. She hoped that there would never be a situation where that would take place while she was ruler. That’d be just as bad as rebellion which was what she feared most of all, but that was why she had always made sure to be the best princess she could for her people. If they hated her then they’d be more likely to rebel. Sera knew that there was bound to be people who disliked her, but she always hoped that those who liked her were more abundant. She’d do anything for her people and she would do whatever it took to prove it which is partially why she always donated a lot of her allowance to various charities in Luxembourg. Her people needed to know that she was there to support them and that even though she was occasionally found doing something crazy, it wouldn’t affect them or her country. She cringed at the thought of having more guards on her, but if that was what her boyfriend wanted then it was what he would get. Her new things was to try and make his life a little bit easier, but that didn’t necessarily mean she was going to be thrilled about everything she was allowing to happen. If you can handle me on your own then there’ll be no need to raise the amount of guards. You’ll just have to teach the current ones your tricks on staying sane, she replied giving his hand a light squeeze. The idea of having more guards just felt ridiculous to her simply because she never planned on losing Yann for one thing. The other was that she didn’t understand why the others wouldn’t be able to handle her when Yann did it daily without any problems. Sera laughed at his reaction to her calling him Iron man, it made her wonder who exactly he would rather be seen as. She had to agree with him though; Stark was quite annoying though some of his witty remarks were quite amusing. Her personal favorite happened to be Thor though she wasn’t really sure why she chose him over all of the other heroes. So who would you rather be then? I wouldn’t want to give my superhero the wrong description. A smile was offered as she looked up at him, but held him a little tighter when he said that their being apart wouldn’t be easy on him either. Let’s just aim to not be away from each other or endanger you, how’s that sound? If that meant that she had to keep him locked up in her room then that was fine and dandy with her. She’d wanted to do that for longer than she could remember anyways. At the mention of the single girls flocking to him at the gala a laugh escaped her. Sera could just picture that and tried to force it out of her head. Who can blame them, you’re quite a catch, but if it makes you feel better I’ll keep you all for myself. That had always been her plan even before the night of the gala she had had that planned out. There would always be some ‘emergency’ that he would be needed for just so she could steal him for herself. I appreciate that very much and I’d very much like to do the same for you, she said softly. He had always put her needs first and she really wished that she’d be able to do the same for him, but she just didn’t know how. She nodded in reply to his question about being serious with the dancing. Mhmm. Unless you could think of another way for me to repay you. Sera was just about willing to do anything as long as it involved being with him.

He’d never actually admit it, but he loved how feisty she got when something of hers was on the line. And he was starting to think she was considering him as hers now too, which was why she would be like this about the whole issue. Yann could have handled the ‘separation’ if only he knew she wouldn’t be doing something incredibly stupid but adorable at the same time behind his and his father’s backs. They were both in for it it seemed, and he wasn’t about to blame her for it either ... he just wished she wouldn’t be the one to eventually cause all of his hair to simply fall out. It wasn’t like he wanted to go bald after all. Shaking his head, he simply grinned at her and lightly ran his thumb up and down the patch of her skin it was on, Yeah, you would do that, wouldn’t you? Don’t worry, we’ll make this work, so that my dad is none the wiser and you’re happy. This was what it was all about, after all. Keeping Séra happy in the long run. If her parents ever wanted an efficient way for Yann to actually step aside from the princess, well, there was their answer – they simply had to present the idea that she’d be happier with someone else, and he’d do it in a heartbeat. It would kill him – but he told himself that he’d be able to do it, if her happiness were on the line. If. He snorted at her next comment though. You’re as much of an angel as I’m the Pope, but hey, let’s not ruin your self-image. Besides, it would take her a while, even if she wanted to perfect the art of coming up on him unawares, to actually do it. It took time and skill, both of which she probably had in abundance – but until then, he was safe. He did heave a heavy sigh when she went all-in with his mother. Yeah, how about no, he commented, my mom’s one thing, you’re another, if I start listening to the BOTH of you combined, my dad’ll evict me and deposit me somewhere in Africa. Like, seriously. But yoga sounds good I guess, as long as you don’t have me standing on my head or something like that. His balance was good, but not THAT good, not that he was about to tell her that. If she put him up to it, she’d be able to see for herself anyway.

It was amazing how utterly sweet she was being about the number of guards ... and how naive at the same time. Yann didn’t know how to break this to her, but given the circumstances and the fact that she was the Crown princess ... well. I hate to tell you this, but you don’t get much say in the matter, he pointed out after she was initially done talking, you have no idea how many guards are around your parents all the time, do you? You’re lucky you only get me to actually be visible, and even so there’s a handful of others always on-hand around this campus. Try multiplying that with a minimum of five. Your father alone has five guards on him wherever he goes, and those are only visible. The amount of people surrounding him that no one can see would probably shock you. His voice was gentle, and his hold too. When you’re Queen, he said softly, there’ll be an influx of guards all around you, and that’s inevitable, because your people don’t want to see anything happen to you. But trust me, you’re lucky – the German Crown prince has it way worse. As far as Auggie had let him know, after the assassination attempt the amount of guards on Xavier’s own person had tripled, not only doubled, and it was more or less crazy all the time behind the scenes. Yann was just happy he didn’t have to be THERE, like his best friend was. He helped from afar as much as he could though, just to keep the other sane. When talk turned to superheroes and Stark, Yann did have to flinch. The least favourite of Avengers wasn’t his favourite icon of choice. No one if I had it my way, he grumbled playfully, then smiled, but Thor or Hawkeye work. There’s the plus side of being the only person able to wield a cool hammer. Or the bow deal. It could be a neat weapon, but clumsy unless used right, so Yann wasn’t about to head into any archery lessons any time soon. Besides, bullets were by far more efficient than arrows nowadays. That sounds just about perfect, he told her at her suggestion, smiling and tightening his hold on her just a little bit. He had to groan when she mentioned the ‘other girls’ though, because he really wasn’t in the mood. Sure I am. They have your brothers to fawn over, why don’t they get as much attention? You’d better come up with crisis ideas for the next time we have to attend something like that. I’m not being left alone for a second there. The thought petrified him more than he could say, making him shudder slightly. Eek. As for repayment ... his mind was very much steered into safe waters. Dancing actually sounds like a very good idea to me, he commented, grinning down at her and pressing his lips to her forehead, but in case you haven’t noticed, it’s usually done while not lying on the bed. His eyes danced with mischief.

Sera would have no problem finding ways to circumvent her security if it meant being with her boyfriend. There was no way she was going to let either of their parents prevent them from being together and it would be another of her personal goals to make sure that they stayed together regardless of what their parents said. She wasn’t really too worried about whether this secret arrangement was going to work out because she had faith in Yann and she was pretty positive that her sneaking skills would be able to keep them out of trouble. But even if they were caught Yann could always say that he went out looking for her because she disappeared without notice. Sera of course wouldn’t disagree with that statement because that’s normally what she did anyways. Indeed I would because I love you that much and don’t like being separated from you. You’re right because it was my plan to make this work from the beginning and you know that I’m happy when you’re happy. She inwardly laughed when Yann had told her that she was no angel. It was pretty much true, she had a knack for finding trouble and even though she was named after the fiery ones, it didn’t mean that she would behave like them. Still, Sera had to applaud Yann for what he had said because that was a great remark. Hey now! I was not given my name for nothing, she started with a raised brow. Besides…your eminence, she continued with an exaggerated bow, being the Pope and all would mean that you are the one breaking the rules here. As a divine creature you’re not allowed to do this with me. Sera leaned into him, capturing his head gently with her hands and started a passionate kiss. When they finally broke the kiss that seemed to last hours, she remarked, But who says participating in the forbidden isn’t fun? Now that statement she could completely agree with simply because they were already doing something forbidden and she was loving every moment of it. Sera laughed when Yann said that his father would ship him off somewhere in Africa if he listened to her and his mother. They were on the same side and only wanted what was best for him, but apparently his father didn’t agree with them. Still if Yann were to be shipped off anywhere, Sera would track him down and stay with him. Well if that happens then I guess I’ll be coming with you. I’m sure there’s some kind of organization over there that would love to have me. And that gives me a chance to keep my tan going, I could never pass up such an experience. Tanning was something she’d never get sick of and if she had to go off to Africa there was no doubt that she’d get some color there. The princess giggled and shook her head at the mention of balancing on his head during yoga and she shook her head lightly, Nah, standing on your head comes later, so you’re all good for now. She was definitely looking forward to seeing him attempt that.

A sigh escaped her when he had said that she had no choice in having more or less guards around her and even though she didn’t like it, she understood why it was. She just felt a little awkward having all of those sets of eyes on her and it would definitely make things between her and Yann a lot more difficult. Somebody would eventually see something they weren’t supposed to and then would rat on them. Let me guess, you do and that means I’ll have a million guys surrounding me. If Yann had any say in how many guards she had then she knew that there’d be plenty of them. I’ve noticed about six or seven give or take minus your father, she said in reply to how many guards her parents had. I like only having you, it’d be extremely awkward having the other guys out. Especially at school then there goes my cover as a normal student. For the most part she had done pretty well keeping her identity from her classmates, but with a bunch of guys following her around people were sure to notice something. Yea I don’t really want to know, so I’ll take your word for it, just the thought of eventually having the same amount of guards gave her the chills. Sure she’d be safe, but she still didn’t feel comfortable with the idea. Sera smirked and lightly shook her head when X was mentioned. Ha yea poor Xavier, maybe that’s why he moved off campus. He just couldn’t handle all the excitement, I bet Auggie’s enjoying himself. Now that was somebody she would never really understand, but that was a whole other story. A smile grew on her lips when he said that he prefer not to be any of the Avengers and it made her wonder just who he wanted to be in their little fantasy world. Oh really? So if you were to be the newest Avenger, never heard of never seen before whom’d you be? Tell me about yourself… She was genuinely curious and then tried to figure out who she’d be and came up with nothing. Sera laughed when he mentioned Thor and Hawkeye though, Well technically that makes me cool then because I awesome with a bow. I can’t wait to get back to Lux, I’ve been dying to do some archery. Brown didn’t have the proper equipment or space for Sera to practice archery there which was another reason why she was looking forward to school being over. She hugged him tighter, I’m glad you agree. The princess wasn’t really sure what she’d do if she ever lost him and she didn’t want to ever have to think about it. Sera couldn’t help but laugh as the ball conversation got a little more interesting. My brothers aren’t built like you for one. You’re also a gentleman and you’re mine. Which not too many people know, so that invisible force that draws us together is causing the other girls to subconsciously want what they can’t have. The younger girls like when guys play hard to get you know… Teasing Yann was always fun especially since she knew he had no interest in any of the young girls who tried to cling to him. She snickered when he told her that she needed to come up with ideas to save him, See that’s the thing, you like when I behave myself. So by conspiring ways to desert the lovely young ladies that would love to be in your company would be a terrible thing to do. Sera allowed for a slight pause before continuing, now I may be willing to keep you all to myself, but…it’s going to cost you. Cost him what, she wasn’t really sure, but by the time they needed to make that decision she’d figure something out. She was glad that Yann approved of the dancing idea though, Good because I probably would’ve forced you even if you didn’t want to. Her boyfriend’s last comment brought her mind to a dirty place that she knew she was supposed to avoid. Especially since she had sworn to herself that she was going to behave, but she couldn’t help it. Actually you’re wrong there my love, I know of plenty of dancing done while on the bed. But alas, I’ve sworn to behave like the angel that I am. Two could play at this game.

If he knew Séra at all, his dad was in for a massive amount of trouble as soon as he got to Brown, but then again, Yann dealth with it on a dayly basis, so maybe Simon needed a healthy dose of what his son did every day, just so he could see what he was up against and what he seemed to think was a boring job. With the princess, nothing was ever boring, whether it was a simple act of going to the hairdresser or just getting her to class on time. When she wanted to, she could be more stubborn than any mule he knew, and he didn’t know that many of those either. He did, however, know how to cater to Séra’s every need though, so that was a plus in his direction at least. Well I already know I’m fighting fate just trying to fight you on it, so I give up, but my dad might not be that lenient, he teased her with a small smile on his face, lightly messing up her hair from the position he was sitting in. It was getting a bit uncomfortable for his back, but for the time being it was still tolerable, which made him immobile. He rolled her eyes at her though, at her antics, No, you blackmailed your parents into giving you the most innocent name on the planet just so you could hide behind it. Admit it, you like the angel outlook, but you prefer not to be the perfect girl everyone thinks you are. He ran soothing fingers up and down her arm with a small smile on his face, enjoying this banter between them, because it was hardly different from the time they hadn’t been a couple, except she kept on pushing little innuendos in between. Not that he minded. Especially not when she gave him so much of her undivided attention, it was more than he could have hoped for. He started to say something, but was cut off when she kissed him suddenly, and he couldn’t really deny her this, even if it was bordering on the dangerous side that he wasn’t willing to pass into yet. Still, he tightened his hold on her a little, and then grinned when she pulled away, Well, I guess I’m just a lucky Pope then. His eyes sparkled, and he sighed in quiet content. The Africa deal was something he could totally see her doing. It actually sounds exactly like something you’d do, if it went for your tan, he said, rolling his eyes, and thanks, but no thanks, I have enough standing on my head when you go off on your own all the time. No need to add intentional acts like that into my repertoire. He shook his head with a tiny smile.

He sighed when she talked about the guards issue more, but he didn’t really have any say in the matter. Not unless he became head o the guard, but that didn’t seem to be on the horizon any time soon, unless Simon suddenly decided to retire or found he didn’t have the edge anymore, something Yann would only believe when he saw his father’s body. The man would probably be ninety and in a wheelchair and still give other guards a run for their money. Unfortunately, it won’t really be my call unless I suddenly head all the guards. But I can’t see my dad retiring any time soon – can you? Which means HE gets the final say. And you know how he is; if you think I’m paranoid, you should spend a day with him. Not that he’d sentence her to that one, Simon was hell to deal with even for his family members and employees. Even his employers sometimes, though the King and Queen knew he only wanted the best for them, so they seemed to tolerate it well enough. And you’l only get a bigger amount of guards when you’re Queen, at which point you won’t b a student anymore, he commented, once you’re crowned, you can’t expect to have time for yourself, much less for actual studies. Besides, you won’t be able to leave the country anyway. So you’re pretty safe with the situation as it is right now, no need to worry. He patted her arm lightly before the topic turned to the German heir to the throne. That could possibly be it, security’s easier to achieve if you’re not in the dorms. Auggie’s trying not to freak out from lack of company though, I think. The guy was a magnet for disaster, not just trouble, but Yann loved him like a brother just as well, even if, between him and Séra, they kind of kept his hair from growing any thicker. Yann relaxed when talk turned back to Avengers, and he shrugged his shoulders, No idea. Probably a man in black sort of deal, with lots of cool ninja tricks. He hid a smile, but yes, he did agree with Séra on the archery bit. Just try not to mistake me for a target when we get back home. He was already forming a plan in his mind though, because he knew how much she loved archery, but he wasn’t about to say anything or ruin a possible surprise. He settled his cheek against the top of her head when she hugged him close, and sighed softly. His calm mood sort of shifted again as the ball talk continued though, and he rolled his eyes playfully. Maybe, but in case you haven’t noticed, they’re princes. I’m not. And regardless of other girls, no one’s really interesting except you, so there. He wasn’t about to fall prey to anyone else – why should he? He had everything he needed right in his arms. Says the devil in disguise, he threw back at her immediately, besides, I’m quite convinced you wouldn’t let anyone drag me away from you. Correct me if I’m wrong here. Two could play at this game, but Yann just tended to be more to the point than the princess. Well when you figure out a way of payment that doesn’t involve me being with you for longer than 24/7, do let me know, he teased her. Given that he was ALWAYS with her, she’d hardly find something that could be different. The dancing idea was good though. Force is a strong word – you’d just beg me to do it and I would, he told her with a smile, before groaning inwardly. This wasn’t the way things were supposed to go. I repeat – says the devil in disguise. Now unless you want me to fall asleep, you’d better get some music going, at least. I’m halfway to dream land already. He pretended to yawn hugely.

Sera laughed when he said that he was fighting fate, he pretty much had to do that all of his life when it came to her. She knew that too, but enjoyed watching him as he fought the fate. The thought of Simon though gave her mixed feelings. Most of the time she wasn’t afraid of him and had no problem standing up for herself or others when he was angry, but there was still a part of her that was worried about how he would eventually react to her being in a relationship with his son. But what scared her even more than Simon finding out was her parents finding out because there was no way they’d allow them to stay together. I’m not worried about your dad…well maybe I’m a little bit, but not to worry I’ll figure something out. She always figured something out because Sera liked to get what she wanted. The princess gave him a dirty look when he messed up her hair and snickered when he said that she blackmailed her parents into giving her her name. Yea she was still trying to figure out how something like that could ever work and rolled her eyes lightly. Oh right, because before I was born I came down to them and told them to name me after the fiery ones. She had just learned in her spirituality class that the seraphim never made contact with people, it was the guardian angels and angels who did that. So she decided to play along even though there was no way she could ever be an angel of any kind. Do you think I’m perfect Yann? And yes I enjoy being an angel, but this preference you say I have…I have no idea what you’re talking about, she teased with a small smile. A content sigh escaped her and she closed her eyes as she leaned against him. His every touch was soothing and whenever they were apart she’d think about them just to get through the time that kept them away. Kissing him though was something else entirely and it was something she’d like to spend the rest of her life doing. The princess got a feeling that was beyond explanation and she loved the feeling. She nodded in agreement when he said that he was a lucky Pope and then rested her head back against his chest. Sera listened to his heart beat for a while content to just be in his arms without anything crazy to separate them. A snort escaped her at the mention of her tan. He knew her so well, exactly and I’ll be sure to bring you a hat so that you don’t go completely blonde on me. She decided to start a new habit of taking a hat for him with her whenever they were going to be out in the sun for a long time. The princess didn’t want her man to be upset, so she kept the hat in her purse though she never told him it was in there. Sera looked up at him and rolled her eyes after her did with a smile. Well if you’ve had enough of that, then you should have it mastered by now, she teased trying her best to hold back a laugh.

Yann didn’t seem to happy talking about the guards, so she decided that it’d be a smart thing to change the subject. She wanted to keep him happy after all and she’d even sworn to behave for him. Sera’d do anything for him even if it wasn’t something that she wanted to do. But she figured that talking about Simon instead of the guards would be okay for him. I have spent a day with him, he’s fine with me. I just think he likes to make you crazy or maybe two paranoids just cancel each other’s crazy out. That was something she was going to have to look into one day. Simon seemed fine when he was around her and she even chatted him up quite a bit. It was actually something she wouldn’t mind doing again, but of course she’d want Yann to be with her this time. Sera knew that she’d have no time to herself once things got serious, but she tried not to think about that because that meant that she’d have less time with Yann as well and she didn’t want that. Ah yes, you make a good point I won’t be a student. Her parents had be gracious enough to let her finish her four years at university before they thought about letting her take the throne. Nope, as long as I’ve got you with me I’ll be fine, she said in reply to being safe once she was queen. As they talked about X and Auggie she couldn’t help but smirk. Those two were amazing and would forever be close in her heart. Maybe we’ll have to go pay them a visit and you can go keep Augs sane. Sera wanted to go see Xavier eventually anyways and Yann deserved a break from everything she was always putting him through. She raised a brow at the description of himself as a superhero and she covered up a laugh with a cough. Oh come on Yanni you can do better than that! The princess laughed and shook her head when he told her to avoid shooting him with her bow. Archery was probably the only sport requiring hand eye coordination that she was good at. Her aim was almost perfect and she would never shoot Yann, ever. The only time I’d use you for target practice is if you figured out a way to really tick me off. Otherwise you’re safe. So I suggest you stay on my good side, she teased lightly as a smile grew on her lips. Sera frowned lightly though when he disagreed with her. He was so modest and she loved that about him, but she didn’t like that he was acting like he was inferior to her. She considered him to be her equal and that was something that would never change. You’re my prince Yanni, so I don’t need to notice anything. Ha and which part of my being interesting is keeping you from entertaining the other girls? At his comment about the devil, a smirk grew on her face as she waggled her eyebrows at him. Yann was right of course, she wouldn’t let anybody take him away from her, but she wasn’t about to tell him that. Mmmm, I think it would depend on who was stealing you. Sometimes I can play nice and share like a good girl, she replied as she tilted her head up to look at him. The princess had to laugh at the 24/7 comment though and she shook her head lightly. Give me a few hours, I’m sure I’ll have no trouble coming up with something, she teased again. Yann was right again though about her forcing him. There was no way she’d be able to force him to do anything, she was a weakling and she knew it. I wouldn’t call it begging, more like respectfully requesting, though she usually liked to use those words for her business like matters. Sera gave him a seductive smile when he repeated his words from before and gave him an exaggerated curtsey afterwards. Right away your highness, she said reaching for his hand and kissing his knuckles. As she let go of his hand she rose from the bed and headed for the radio/clock/ipod player and flipped through the stations settling on one with a song that she knew was almost over. She turned and reached out for him, I figured we could go for a few modern songs before we went into the classical stuff. May I have this dance my love? Sera started to sing the remainder of the song that was playing on the radio and a large smile grew on her face once the song ended and she heard the intro to the Rascal Flatts’ song. Oh my God! Yanni I love this song!

There was something to be said about fighting fate when it came down to people he loved, and Yann would do practically anything for Séra, although granted, it was a tiny bit complicated when his father got involved. One, Simon clearly wasn’t the best person to go to if you had any problems with matters of the heart (sometimes Yann wondered just how he ended up with Esther in the first place, but that was beside the point), and two – well, he didn’t take too kindly to anyone who showed a liking to the princess he’d sworn to protect through her parents. That was just going to be an additional obstacle, and Yann knew her parents weren’t going to be thrilled either, though he didn’t put it past Séra to try and blackmail them into agreeing or something similarly silly. It was just her nature to do things that were wild and carefree, and he didn’t think his father quite understood that one. I know you will, and I’m afraid for him on that account, he told her with a small laugh, shaking his head, before grinning impishly, and of course you did. You dominated the world from day one, don’t you know? It was nice, being able to tease her like that, and she seemed to enjoy it enough to not complain when he did it, so he sighed in content and allowed her to snuggle closer, closing his yes for a brief moment. He never did get any moment of respite where she was involved, especially WHEN she was involved, so quiet moments like these were few and far inbetween, and he planned on making use of them as much as possible. At her question, he started rolling his eyes, then changed his mind, and simply smiled, fingering a strand of her hair between his fingers. More or less. Sometimes, when you scare the crap out of me, then I don’t think you’re perfect. But other times, like right now, I think you are. He grinned suddenly. Especially when you deny the obvious. He chuckled further at that, and pressed his lips against her forehead again, lightly rubbing her shoulder with one hand and resting his head back again so his neck wouldn’t feel like it would snap any time soon. That wouldn’t be good for either of them.

He couldn’t imagine his father being anything but sane when he was with Séra, so it was moot point, but he wasn’t about to mention it to her, since she seemed pretty convinced of her own cause. Possibly, but you never know. Most likely, Simon just enjoyed the company and the fact that his princess didn’t consider him as just another guard who could be shot and replaced if it came down to it. That meant a lot to anyone who guarded her and that was why half the guards in the palace wanted to go to Brown, not that her parents were worse off. The whole royal family of Luxembourg appreciated the fact that there were always people on the line for them, and they treated them accordingly, something Yann was very happy about. He wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. You’ll always be fine, but I’ll always be with you regardless, he told her with a small smile and tightened his hold on her so she would believe him. There was no way he was ever leaving her, not unless she suddenly decided she didn’t need him anymore. Then, and only then would he be able to actually make himself walk away, not that he would mention it out loud. That sounds like a plan to me, and you know Auggie, he’s just obnoxious half the time, he replied in response to her suggestion. Auggie really did get on his nerves, but then he was also the one person who knew him best, and understood where he came from. Plus, if they absolutely HAD to face-off in a gun situation, there was no one else Yann would rather have standing to his side and covering his back. Auggie was just good like that. He shook his head at the action hero deal, and shrugged his shoulders, not willing to dig into it more, since he didn’t see the point in it anyway. He did laugh a the target practice though. Isn’t it enough that I guard you zealously? he commented with a grin, shaking his head. She was so adorable all the time, it was amazing that he didn’t spontaneously combust around her for it. He could feel the slight discomfort when she said he was her prince, because Yann was still having inferiority problems when he thought about this relationship and all, but hey, those thoughts were kind of sent to the side when she talked about sharing, and he snorted. Again. I’ll believe THAT when I see it. The only person you’ve ever shared me with is Ade, and that hasn’t really happened in a long long time, so I wouldn’t hold my breath about it. It was kind of a given that, wherever Séra would go, so would her bodyguard. He chuckled. That’s just your fancy way of saying you’d beg, the man countered, shaking his head, knowing he’d do anything for her in a heartbeat. He watched her as she set the iPod in, and straightened from the bed when she asked him to, standing and pulling her to him with a roll of his eyes, Modern’s overrated. But he danced with her anyway, though of course a slower song would come up, not that he minded. This one actually made him smile. You know what? I love it too. Come here. It was more a question than a statement really, as he gently drew her to him so he could settle his hands on her better, his chin lightly pressed against her temple as they moved.

It wasn’t really too much of a surprise that Yann would worry for his father when it came to what she could do. Sera too would’ve been afraid for Simon especially since she was known to be quite inventive when she really wanted something and wasn’t allowed to have it. There really wasn’t a need to worry though, especially since she didn’t have anything diabolical planned as of yet. That would all depend on how things would go between her, Yann and Simon. The princess of course, was hoping that things would go a lot more smoothly and leave the need for a diabolical plan out. That certainly would be ideal, but things usually only worked out ideally in the fantasy world. Sera looked up at Yann and smirked, no worries, he’ll live. She replied reassuringly, there was no way she’d ever intentionally hurt her second father. Unless of course she had no other choice especially when it came between him and Yann. Yann would always be her highest priority and she was sure that her parents would just love to hear that fact. A snort escaped her as she fought herself from rolling her eyes; she had been doing that a lot lately. She had to laugh at his mischievous smile though. As if he’d know that she had dominated the world right from the start, it’d make for some interesting conversations later on. She was going to have to remember that one for sure. I must’ve forgotten, you know I’ve been alive for so long… she teased enjoying this banter immensely. So since I’ve dominated from day one, how would you know? There surely can’t be any scripts left telling my stories and why would I be so bored with history if that were the case? It was curious, if she had been around for such a long time then why would she dislike history as much as she did? This was all in good fun though, so she wasn’t too worried about that. Sera watched him play with her hair silently for a moment before looking back up at him amused. She never thought of herself as perfect and knew she never would be so hearing Yann tell her that he thought she was sometimes made her feel awesome. Scaring you is so much fun though, but I guess you don’t like the bad girls. You like the good girls, the angels, don’t you Yanni? That’s why you’re here with me she teased again. The angel thing was never going to go away now; she enjoyed this conversation way too much. Sera liked to play the bad girl though because she always had to be the good girl for the public and her parents. There was something about the other side that made things so much more appealing. She had a feeling that that was one of the main reasons behind her spontaneity. Sera tilted her head slightly to the side when he said that she denied the obvious, what would that be dearest? A small smile grew as he kissed her forehead and she twined their fingers of his free hand together. Days like these were amazing with him and she wished that they could have more of them, but her schedule always made things difficult. It appeared that she was going to have to clear some time in her schedule to allow for this to take place more often.

Sera smiled at his remark as she tried to remember at time where Simon wasn’t pleasant with her and she had come up with nothing. There were times when she could tell that he had other things on his mind, but that was something she would expect to be normal. Especially since he was the head of the guard and then there were times when he was upset and she would do her best to lighten his mood a little knowing that not only did he need it, but his family would need it for when he came home to them. It felt amazing to know that she would always have Yann with her because she couldn’t imagine a day without him. Every day during classes she’d think about what she’d like to do once they got back together and she’d contemplate texting him, but somehow the professors had her pegged as someone who would constantly use a cell phone therefore constantly watching her. It made contacting him a lot more difficult than she would’ve liked. I believe you, she replied and tightened her hold on him as well. But even if he did decide to leave her she would find some way to bring him back to her. She could only really let him go if he wasn’t happy with her and even then she’d still want to be with him. Selfish or not. The princess rolled her eyes as they talked about Auggie. He was the complete opposite of Yann, but the two seemed to complement each other and she enjoyed both of their company. But his obnoxiousness makes him even more loveable, she said cheerfully. His personality was a bit of a mystery because you never knew what he was going to be like next. Growing up with him though made reading him a lot easier though, so she could cheat a little whenever she saw him. A laugh escaped her when he asked if guarding her zealously was enough. It was more than enough, but she wasn’t about to let him know that. Things were far more entertaining when she kept him on his toes though for him she was sure it was the opposite. That just proved that she was going to have to tone it down a bit though. She didn’t want to drive him away or cause him any harm which would eventually happen if she continued to do such things. He was right in saying that she didn’t share him with anybody though. From her point of view he was hers and even though she had been brought up to share, her boyfriend was never going to be one of those things. That may be true, but when have you ever wanted to be with anybody aside from me? She asked with a raised brow. If he wanted to be shared all he had to do was ask, it wasn’t like she would force him to stay with her even if she wanted him to. Sera would never make him stay with her; she wanted him to want to stay with her. The girl smiled when he said that she was just using a fancy way to beg and shook her head. Never beg Yanni, I’m not good at begging especially since I’ve never really had to. Most of her life she got what she wanted at first request there was never really any need to beg which was why she had never been good at it. The other reason was because she didn’t like begging, it just felt completely wrong to her. Sera wasn’t really picky when it came to music, but she did tend to prefer the classical stuff especially when dancing was concerned. She had to agree with him though because modern was overrated these days, for the most part yes, but I do enjoy a few of the songs. The princess went willingly as he drew her towards him and could help but smile brightly as they moved together to the music. This song is sooo us Yanni, she said softly and closed her eyes as she pressed herself as close to him as possible. Sera loved the feel of being in his arms and even though there was craziness happening all around them, she still found peace. I’m glad that my path led to you. I love you so much.

Yann was honestly more worried about Simon than he’d let on, especially where Séra was concerned. She was more diabolical than he’d ever let his father know, especially when she wanted something she couldn’t necessarily get and that seemed to be the case in half the stuff that happened to him. If it weren’t for the fact that he loved her to bits, Yann was pretty sure he’d have already resigned, reassigned himself, or possibly even commited suicide just because there was no way to keep up with her unless you were slightly insane yourself. But it was a good kind of thing, and he certainly wasn’t about to make her worry about it. He loved her the way she was, and wouldn’t change a thing about her, not even if it meant he cold save the world that way. His princess was adorable and amazing and funny and perfect in every way you looked at her. Yann felt extremely privileged, once more, to be protecting her, and to know that she loved him right back where his feelings seemed to get the best of him sometimes. It was more than he could have ever hoped for, to be sure. Well that’s certainly good, he teased her with a grin on his face, wouldn’t want to be the end of your chief security guard would you? Yann could be the agent in the field, so to speak, but Simo had veto power over practically every single staff member of the Luxembourg royal family, and that meant he also had veto over his son and his assignments. So while he was a good boy, Yann could certainly stay with Séra. Once that was up – well, his father would make sure he regretted it. He laughed when she went along with the joke about dominating the world. I kind of meant you’ve been dominating the world since YOUR day one, the man responded with a mischevious expression, tugging on a strand of hair lightly, just enough to add pressure, but definitely not enough to hurt her, the world’s old enough. You’re too young to know it all. Besides, you couldn’t be around that much and hate history all at the same time – just doesn’t work, sorry. He was serious when talking about it, but he was honestly on the verge of bursting out with laughter. She was adorable. Yann snorted when she said scaring him was fun. You might think that. To me, it’s just an additional burden. Trust me, when I get bored, I’ll let you know. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with being a good girl, is there? But of course Séra needed the thrill, not the boredom. He rolled his eyes lightly, and leaned in to press a feather-light kiss against her lips. I’ll leave you to decide on that one – but suffice to say it has nothing to do with being a good girl like you claim to be.

That certainly didn’t help him with his job, but it also didn’t mean that he’d trade it for anything in the world. Yann was happy with his life right now, no matter how much he wanted to deny it out loud or even how much he complained about it. It was just a given that if he wouldn’t be guarding the princess, that he wouldn’t really have a purpose in life. His father knew it well enough; Simon tended to know his son better than said son knew himself, and that meant the father would obviously always put him on top of any choice lists where Séra was concerned. Of course that might change when Simon got wind of what was happening right under his nose, with the relationship thing, but Yann wasn’t about to give himself any more headaches about that than absolutely necessary. There was no way that he would be worrying about possibilities right now, especially since he was holding the girl he loved more than life itself and he couldn’t really find any better way to spend the day. Talking about Auggie, however, was making him laugh. Sure it does, until someone whacks him over the head or a girl douses him in champagne, he said, still laughing about it and shaking his head, Auggie has a way with life that doesn’t really correlate to anything I’ve seen so far ... but he’s also dancing on the thin line of dangerous. I just hope he doesn’t fall off on the wrong end any time. He shook his head, thinking fondly of his best friend. It was definitely good to have someone like that watching your back. Mostly it was fun, but also, when it wasn’t a game, you could definitely tell that the two would go out with a bang and make sure the bang was loud enough to take out whoever was trying to hurt their charges. Auggie was as serious about protecting Xavier as Yann was about making sure Séra was safe. End of discussion right there. Her question, although stated playfully, kind of smoothed out Yann’s own playfulness though. It wasn’t because there was some painful story behind it, but he certainly didn’t think it was the easiest either. Would you believe me if I told you never? he replied quietly, his blue eyes thoughtful as he said this. It was true, because honestly, he’d loved her since he couldn’t remember when. At first it had been a silly crush, or it seemed to be. And now? Now it was just love, plain and simple. Her begging was a funny sight to imagine though, simply because the princess didn’t do begging. Alright alright, I get your point, he told her in an amused fashion, more than happy to trade the bed for the floor of his room so they could dance. The music was good and the company was even better, which was all he could really ask for. You’d know best; I only listen to music when I’m dead-beat, so that means I hear very little and can’t really judge, he replied with a smile, right before he drew her to him and pressed his cheek against the top of her head with a soft sigh. Her words made his chest hurt slightly from the emotions he was feeling right now. I’m glad too, he said softly, his lips gentle against her head, and I love you more than I’ll ever be able to say, Séra. I love you.

Sera shook her head lightly with a small smile on her face. She certainly wanted to keep Simon and Yann around for as long as possible, though of course she’d rather have her boyfriend with her forever. That was something she had no doubt about her being able to get simply because she couldn’t picture him ever leaving her unless something terrible was going on. Luckily for them nothing terrible was happening and she was thinking about toning down her adventures for now. She wanted to make Yann’s life a little bit easier on him especially since they would be heading back home to Luxembourg soon and she knew the tension would be a hell of a lot higher than while they were at Brown. Just the thought of being back home made her a little tense, hiding their relationship from everybody was going to be difficult plus then her parents would have an easier time keeping an eye on her. Sneaking off to her room would always work with them so she and Yann were going to have to be extremely careful. Sera was already coming up with a plan to keep them safe though, so she was hoping that by the time the semester ended, her plans would be perfected. A small giggle escaped her and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands as she looked up at Yann with wide eyes. From the stories she had heard from her family, her boyfriend’s words about her dominating the world from day one was pretty much true. Being the apple of everybody’s eye at the palace had plenty benefits and that of course was one of the reasons why she was so spoiled. As he tugged at her hair she smirked and leaned forward lightly biting his bottom lip. It was only fair, or at least she thought so. Sera loved their little games and she wanted to enjoy his playfulness before he switched it off for Simon. Well what can I say, it’s in my blood she replied cheerfully. Yann had a point and a playful smile lit up her face as she looked up at him. Oh my gosh, Yanni! Does that make you my Angel? You love history and as far as I know you’re a year older than me, but hey you could’ve been around longer than that for all I know she said teasingly as she pulled away from him for a moment to fake studying him. The princess gave him a look and then pouted. Do you think this is funny Yanni? The look on his face was tipping her off and she had to do her best to not laugh herself. Being a good girl does have its faults, and since you’re a good boy you should know them already, she said playfully. A sigh of content left her lips after he kissed her and she leaned in to give him another light kiss simply because she couldn’t get enough of him. Oh I never claimed to be a good girl; even angels don’t have to be that way. Maybe, this angel likes to tread on the line of the dark side. she replied with a mischievous grin.

Talking about her childhood friend who also happened to be Yann’s best friend made her smile. There were just so many memories of the three of them going off and getting into trouble. The trio had gotten to be quite famous for all of the stunts they would come up with and then somehow pull them off. Sure most of the time their parents weren’t too thrilled about it, but that was what made everything so much more fun. Auggie was always the one to come up with the most troublesome ideas and Sera was happy enough to join in on all of the crazy. Which was why what Yann had said about Auggie made her smirk, As long as I’m not getting doused with him and his ability to guard X stays close to your superior skills, then he’ll stay loveable in my mind. It would take a lot to actually give Sera a reason to throw somebody off of her favored persons list and Yann and Auggie were just a few who would undoubtedly always remain in her good favor. Still, she laughed because Yann was absolutely spot on with his description of Auggie. That’s not really surprising; I mean he is from another planet, she teased and then continued, I think he’ll be fine, I mean he does have the most amazing best friend. Sera of course, was referring to herself as the ‘best friend’ because she wanted to see if Yann would fall for it. In reality she considered Yann her best, best friend simply because they had grown up together and she felt like he knew her the best out of everybody she knew including her parents. She just always felt comfortable being with him and he was probably the only one who knew her deepest and darkest secrets. The princess couldn’t have asked for a better person in her life than her boyfriend. At his question Sera paused for a moment and looked up at him with a blank expression. Never? Yanni why didn’t you say something earlier on then? She asked softly as a million thoughts flew through her head. I always thought it was Auggie who had the crush on me when we were younger, if you would’ve said something…I think I’ve always had a thing for you, I just never really paid attention. Sera remained silent for a moment and thanked God that people had been pushing her to think about what was going on between her and Yann. If that hadn’t happened, they probably wouldn’t be together and she would continue to walk around clueless. She had forgotten about everything as they danced together, it just felt amazing to be in his arms. It was like while she was there, there were no troubles. It was just the two of them wrapped in each other’s arms without any cares in the world. The princess molded her body to his and looked up at him. Listen to the lyrics my love, they’re telling our story. She sang the remainder of the song to him softly before kissing him on the cheek and smiling. Let’s switch it up to your favorites shall we? Her ipod was full of classical music, not only because she liked to practice to it, but also because she enjoyed the music and tended to do her homework to it. His words of love made her feel all sorts of ways and not one of them was a bad feeling. So now that you’ve got me here for the night, and I intend to sleep over whether your father likes it or not by the way, what kind of activities do you have planned? She asked with a large smile, her eyes glittering with both happiness and mischief.

She was being pretty manageable right now, except Yann knew that at any point in time, she could do a 360 and become unbelievable. She was as predictable as the weather, which recently really wasn’t, so that was definitely the meaning behind this all. But he loved her just the way she was, and he wouldn’t trade her for the world, even if they promised him he would have an unlimited supply of nerve systems on demand for a different charge. Besides, he loved her, that had to count for something, right? He would literally toss himself in front of her to protect her from anything that could potentially harm her, whether that meant a bullet or something else. There was simply no way that he’d allow anyone close to her that he didn’t approve of first. Of course that could potentially become a problem, but he was confident in his own abilities to read a person to know who would want to harm her and who wouldn’t. He couldn’t do much about gossip and the girls she surrounded herself with, but he could most certainly do something about guys. After all, whenever he appeared, everyone seemed to like to step back a little bit; Yann had his height working for him, and the fact that he tended to dress in darker colours all the time, which contrasted with his naturally light hair and just made him look mysterious, or so his mother had stated earlier on when he’d first slipped into the official formal black wear of the guards. He smiled when she giggled, and sighed when she bit his bottom lip, gently, but firmly enough pushing her slightly away. While he enjoyed her company and the little antics she did, there was only so much he could handle really. Your blue blood, I agree, he commented after a moment, and then laughd when she went on about the angel deal. How did you guess? he teased her with a small smile, I don’t have to be an action hero because I’m your own, personal angel. Well, a little bit of that was true – he certainly wished she’d see him in sort of that way. Maybe not exactly that, but it would be better than if she simply saw him as just another guy. I think it’s hilarious, but if I say it out loud, it means you’ll probably whack me with something, he replied with an amused expression, and well you go ahead and be on the dark side; but remember, the white one has your favourite cookies. And me.

Talking about Auggie made Yann laugh or smile, whichever came first. Right now it was rolling his eyes while smiling, just because his best friend was simply one of the most moronic douches on the planet if he wanted to be – but all the same, Yann would hack off both arms if he asked him to. That was about as strong as his friendship was, or even stronger. Auggie was the brother Yann never had, and he certainly was the mastermind behind all the grey hair that Simon got whenever he stayed over at the Kriers’. His father actually always said that Auggie was a bad influence, but in the end had to grudgingly admit that the kid was good and could definitely go on protecting one of the most powerful heirs to the throne in Europe. That being said, however, he still didn’t want Auggie anywhere near Séra at the moment. His skills and himself are going to stay way close to Xavier, or else I’ll plaster him to the other guy with Neostick, he grumbled, I got into enough trouble because of him when we were little. I’m not in the mood to do it again right now. Besides, he can hardly leave Dartmouth anyway, even to come entertain you. and I thought I was enough of company. He tousled her hair in affection, smiling. But yeah, he’s lucky to have you. one lucky bastard. I keep telling him that. He grinned, showing her he figured out her ‘best friend’ deal easily enough. It was super simple to see through it once you knew the princess as well as he did. At her question as the conversation turned slightly more serious, Yann looked down at their joined hands. I ... I really don’t know, to be honest. I guess I thought it would just get in the way of our friendship. And I’m your bodyguard. He paused, lifting his shoulders in a shrug. It just ... never seemed right. I’m supposed to protect you. What if I get so sidetracked I lapse and something happens? I could never forgive myself. He reached up to gently touch her face, his expression carefully controlled so she couldn’t see the turmoil of emotions behind. I’ve never really looked at anyone else; you were always the one. That you love me back is a miracle I’m still processing on this end of the reception line. His lips quirked upwards into a smile as they danced slowly. She sang the remainder of the song, and Yann sighed in silent content as she did so – she had the perfect voice. If she hadn’t been a princess, she’d probably have been a model and singer or something. Chuckling when she switched the music, Yann readjusted his hold on her, still keeping a firm grip on, You’ve got a lot of my favourites on there – did you raid my computer? He grinned, but at the look on her face and her declarating question, he felt like he needed to be careful. Very careful. Definitely not those you have in mind right now judging by the look in your eyes, he laughed, and you’ll probably just come up with activities on your own to run me up the wall. So why bother? His thumbs smoothed against her lower back in soothing circles.

A small smirk grew on her lips as Yann gently separated them slightly. She loved how careful and controlled he was being and she honestly couldn’t blame him. After what had happened not too long ago he needed to be, though she wasn’t planning on doing anything that crazy ever again. Which was why the princess was taking a small vacation away from Kalli. Sera adored the girl, but sometimes she just caused more problems than were needed. Kalli made Sera realize how Yann must feel about the way she was constantly acting. One of these days she was going to surprise the hell out him when he discovered that nothing crazy was going to happen. She kind of wanted to go on vacation and just hang out with him without any worries. That of course would eventually happen since she was planning on giving him a vacation for the two of them for his birthday. It was still quite some time away, but booking ahead of time always made things so much easier. They would of course be going somewhere warm, but she hadn’t really decided where exactly it was that he would want to go. She was going to have to ask him, but it had to be in a way that he wouldn’t figure out what she was planning. There was always her history class to blame; she was always getting odd assignments from that class anyways. So I have this new assignment for my history class and I thought I’d ask my personal expert…We were told to pick a vacation spot and research the history behind whatever we chose. Any ideas as to where would be a great spot with both interesting history and something less known? I kind of want to do something that not many people know of since all the popular ones will be used right away. Hopefully that was a creative enough assignment that wouldn’t tip him off, she just really wanted to surprise him. Now back to the topic of blood, she never really understood why royals were called blue bloods, but that was a talk she was going to have to have another time. Sera had a feeling that her history buff of a boyfriend would know exactly what started that description, but she wasn’t really in the mood for history at the moment. We all have blue blood silly, that’s what deoxygenated blood looks like. She replied with a wide smile and then shrugged when he asked how she knew he was an angel. That much should technically have been obvious since she felt like he was more than just a normal person, there had always been something about him that stood out from the rest of the population. Hmm, I don’t know…must’ve been your love of history. I mean that stuff can put even the most studious person to sleep. Well maybe not, but she always felt like that was the case and teasing Yann about it was always entertaining. Sera nodded in agreement that he didn’t need to be an action hero, my one and only angel. She offered him an amused look when he said that he found whatever secret he was keeping from her hilarious and rolled her eyes. I’m sure you do and probably, but you wouldn’t have to worry because I’d kiss it and make it better. Though of course if she tried to hit him with anything it probably would miss horribly and end up doing more damage than she intended. Her lack of hand-eye coordination always made things a bit difficult, it always made her wonder how she was so good at archery. Oh I definitely will and the cookies are very tempting, but I guess it’s a good thing that I don’t like you, so now I don’t feel too tempted, she teased trying to sound nonchalant. In reality the last bit of her reply was extremely untrue because she honestly couldn’t stand being away from him even for five minutes. So it’s going to take a lot of convincing to get me to flip sides.

Sera couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of Auggie and Xavier being stuck together. She knew that Auggie saw his charge as a brother and would do anything for him, but he also liked to screw around when there were no signs of danger. When they were together it seemed liked all kinds of dangerous things could happen especially when one of them got that crazy look in their eyes. Sometimes the ideas that those two could come up with scared her and that was saying a lot since she was known to be pretty crazy as well. I’d love to see you do that, could you imagine what those two could come up with stuck together? she said shaking her head. Just admit it Yanni, you love getting into trouble. I know you do, the princess teased and then slowly ran her hands up his arms and around his neck. Who said anything about him coming to entertain me? I want you all to myself. Sera grinned as he tousled her hair and brought her hand up to trace the line of his jaw. Mmm, that he is and you know who else is lucky? Me because I’ve got the most amazing best friend, boyfriend and bodyguard all wrapped into one gorgeous man, she said lovingly and then gently squeezed his hand. As he looked down at their hands she watched him with a sympathetic smile. You will always be my best friend, no matter what and you are more than just my bodyguard. What do you need me to do to prove that to you? I’ll do it. She said softly and then paused, Yanni, you have the most amazing self control on the planet and nothing is going to happen. If getting to spend the rest of my life with you means keeping myself locked up at the palace so nothing bad happens, then I’m willing to do it. Seeing him this way made her heart ache and he may not have shown his feelings on his face, but deep down she felt like there was more to it than what he was letting on. You’re just going to have to stay with me for all eternity. I think that should make things easier, it won’t be too bad will it? She teased trying to lighten up the mood a little bit. Sera leaned into his touch and closed her eyes for a moment. You’re amazing. I’m so lucky to have you in my life, she said and leaned in for a light kiss. The princess laughed when he asked if she had raided his computer. The two of them seemed to have the same taste in classical music and even though she had seen his playlist once or twice, she hadn’t taken notes as to which he had. Ha, wouldn’t you like to know? I can’t reveal the secrets of my theifly ways, if there were any…but I actually just like a lot of the stuff that you do. Her favorites to dance to tended to change every so often, but there were two waltzes that would remain in her favorites. The Once Upon a December waltz and the Second Waltz. There was just something about those two songs that drew her attention and she still couldn’t figure out what that was. She had to smirk at what he had said about her thoughts, do tell, what exactly do you think I have in mind? This she had to hear, for once she wasn’t only thinking of just naughty activities. Just thought I’d offer. I kind of want to just cuddle up. Maybe listen to some classical music, you know…normal boyfriend/girlfriend stuff, but hey, I’m ok with what I assume were naughty thoughts in your mind too, she teased with a grin.

It was far easier to resist the princess when she wasn’t being in a Kalli mood, especially since that meant he needed to be extra careful not to hurt her feelings. Like the last time, though the last time she’d also nearly given him a heart attack by just ... wel, almost attacking him. Yann really loved her, but at the same time, he didn’t feel like something like this could be rushed. Their relationship was only just beginning in the sense that they were together as boyfriend and girlfriend. And he was careful enough not to mess it up by making a mistake, because he would never be able to live with himself if he hurt her in any way. Besides, the fact that his father was flying down to Brown and would possibly be here in a couple of hours meant that any kind of romantic ideas were probably out of the question. Simon was worse than a blood hound, he’d figure it out simply by sniffing around a little bit. His attention returned to Séra, and Yann arched an eyebrow at the assignment. That’s interesting, but it sounds like something I had in the previous semester ... a place not many people’d know, hm. He thought about it for a moment, going through the extensive list that rolled through his mind. There were many palces like that, but he wasn’t sure how much she’d be interested in. Well there’s always the islands in the Bahamas, he concede after a while, or down along the Brasilian coast. There’s a lot of them that haven’t had much people visit them to begin with, but they’re pretty awesome culture-wise. Plus they’re small so that tourist agencies normally overlook them, so you wouldn’t get much visits. Other than that, there’s probably an island in Polynesia no one’s been to yet, and you could use that. His smile turned amused, and then he laughed at the blue blood deal, just kissing her cheek in response and not really saying anything more. She would know. I highly doubt angels love history, they kind of just happen to be part of it, he argued, but smiled when she called him her one and only angel, and kissed the tip of her nose. He did have to roll his eyes at the whole dark side and her not going over deal. Yeah, I won’t hold you to that. We’ll see how long you last, he teased her easily, sighing in content.

Thinking about Auggie and Xavier getting into trouble together, Yann thought that was entirely too plausible ... with one problem. Yeah they could’ve, but not anymore; remember, your ex boyfriend is now engaged, and he sort of needs to keep it together or risk getting hit by his lady. Not that he thought Bella would do that, she seemed much too gentle and kind, but then again, you never knew. He was sure Auggie was getting a kick out of it all though, because he’d never been known for being patient or even slow in things. He just wanted to get a move on. And trouble’s a subjective point of view, he replied, mostly I just like to think I’m the one who drags you and the idiot out of trouble. As for entertainment, you know you always have me. He smild when she traced a path up his jaw. He felt flattered that she felt that way about him, honestly; it was making him feel slightly uncomfortable too, but knowing she thought this highly of him definitely gave him the self-esteem he needed to do things. And you’ll always have me, period, he responsed gently, letting her know that no matter what, he’d always protect her. Though locking her in had occurred to him, it wouldn’t work. No that wouldn’t work you know; mostly you’d just die of boredom, which means you’d be even worse to deal with in the long run. He smiled, smoothing his hand down her back and just pulling her against his chest, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. Let’s just face it that you’ll always be a little troublemaker, but so long as you’re MY troublemaker, it’s all good. It was the first time he actually said something so possessive out loud, but it felt good, and he was pretty sure she’d like it. Sort of an unofficial claim. Her lips were soft when she kissed him again, and he smiled, I’m not. I just walk in the shade of a very amazing person, and it rubs off on me. Her laugh was enjoyable to him, and he certainly wouldn’t put it past her to actually raid his computer files. Alright, keep your secrets, he teased, but then it was true that they both liked similar things, so there was little wonder to what they liked listening to. He rolled his eyes. Yes,of course, and my father is only about two hours away from landing and coming over to check this out. Thanks, but no thanks. I was simply referring to the fact you can’t keep out of trouble, and you like dragging me into it as well. But cuddling up sounds like the best idea you’ve had for a while. He grinned.

It didn’t really surprise her to hear Yann say that he had had a similar assignment the semester before. He most likely had taken all of the history classes she was going to have to take as gen-ed requirements. The university was too large, so the professors there tended to have multiple courses. Not that she was complaining, knowing exactly what a professor was looking for made it easier when writing papers or taking tests. She had learned the hard way that some people were just tough graders and getting used to their style took forever. Since this wasn’t a real assignment however, she wasn’t too worried about the writing aspect. Sera’s only goal was to keep this vacation plan a secret until his birthday. Really? Maybe I’ll have to steal your paper, she teased with a wink. Even if the assignment was real, she wouldn’t use his paper. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, she was sure he would’ve aced the paper. The princess just liked to do her own work and always had. At the mention of the Bahamas she scrunched up her nose and shook her head. It was a lovely spot, but there were plenty of tourists there and she wanted to find a secluded spot where they wouldn’t have to hide anything. The Brazilian coast didn’t sound like a bad idea and she was going to have to look into that, but at the mention of Polynesian islands her face lit up. Now those were place she wouldn’t mind going to. Hmm…what do you think about that one island that only allows like twenty people on it? I think it’s called Lord Howard? Lord Howe?... It was a small island a few hours away from Australia and she had heard about it once when she was looking into visiting a friend who lived there. Sera thought for a moment, pursing her lips ever so slightly, or what about Aitutaki? The small island located in the Southern part of the Cook Islands was supposedly very secluded, but one never knew until they got there. A smile grew on her lips when he argued that angels were merely a part of history, That must make you even more of a one of a kind angel then. I feel so special. Came a cheerful reply that was followed by a smile when he kissed the tip of her nose. Sera smirked at his reply about her being on the dark side and shrugged lightly. Alright then.

Sera rolled her eyes and gave him a devious smile. She for one could see Auggie finding some way to convince X into doing something crazy, he just had that kind of effect on people. An engagement wouldn’t necessarily prevent them from doing all kinds of craziness though, sure X wouldn’t be able to sleep around, but that doesn’t mean they can’t cause havoc somewhere. Besides I think Bella’d be more likely to hit Auggie than X, it’s just one of his oh so lovely qualities. She shook her head with a small smile, boy did Auggie have a lot coming to him. She couldn’t picture Bella allowing him to get away with some of the stunts he was able to pull with X. A snort escaped her when he brought her into the mix and did her best not to laugh. See that’s exactly it, since trouble is subjective that means what you conceive to be trouble isn’t necessarily something that Auggie or I see as trouble. So you can feel free to drag me away all you want, but I’m still going to fight you when I feel like I’m right. Which is of course, all of the time, she replied playfully. Sera liked being right and liked to think that she was always right, but in reality Yann knew her too well and would usually be right. Mmm, I’m glad. I love my personal entertainer, that was just one of the many things that she loved about him. It made her feel amazing to hear him say that she would always have him and of course, he would always have her as well. The same goes for you my love. What he said about her dying of boredom was pretty much true, though she’d be willing to go through that if it meant making her boyfriend happy. I don’t know, I mean as long as you keep me well entertained I think I could pull it off. Maybe we’ll have to experiment this summer… As he pulled her against his chest she molded herself to him, resting her head lightly on his shoulder. I like being your troublemaker. Though sometimes I feel like I should give you a break…would you ever want me to do that for you? The princess was surprised to hear him be so possessive, but she liked it none the less. She smiled when he said that he was walking in the shadow of an amazing person, I’d like to meet this person one day. After all, it’s pretty difficult to make an already amazing person even more so; I need to know how they do it. Sera smirked when he told her to keep her secrets, that was what she had planned anyways. She had to laugh though at what he had said, ah yes, though you must know, I only drag you into ‘trouble’ with me to make your day more exciting. I’ve seen you guys sitting there doing absolutely nothing and figured I’d keep you sane. Unless of course you’d rather listen to Fifty Shades of Grey. The princess had nothing against the books, but she knew that Yann wasn’t a fan of them. I’m glad you approve. What do you say, one more dance? I don’t think your father would appreciate seeing us this close…not that I really care, but I would like to keep you safe.

Of course he knew she wasn’t about to actually steal his paper, and also he wouldn’t have given it to her regardless. He’d probably burn it just to be safe, but fact remained that Yann knew very well how his princess knew how to do her own work herself, and that meant he never had to worry about her actually cheating on something. Well, there were always exceptions, but this kind of thing when it came to research was probably just something mundane and she’d go through it without much trouble on her end. She was just like that, and so he wasn’t worried. Sure, sure. Speaking about little islands she wanted to try and research, Yann frowned and half-closed his eyes in thought as he tried digging up whatever information he could on them. It wasn’t that he knew a lot to begin with, but it was better than the knowledge most people had, because he was interested in it all. Aitutaki might be good, and didn’t you say one of your friends relocated there once? You could ask her or him for help. He honestly couldn’t remember whether it was a guy or a girl, because she had too many friends, and so he didn’t keep track of them all. He only made sure he knew who she moved with in close vicinity, and that was about it on his account. If he knew who she was hanging out with then she was safe enough. Yann would never want to impose on her as much as some others he knew, and so he gave her freedom enough whenever he thought it was prudent. He could also be overbearing as heck as soon as there was the smallst sign of things not going his way or the way he wanted them to. That, too, she had already commented on and complained about, but he’d calmly explained that as long as he was in charge of her protection, she would be doing exactly as she was told whenever he felt like she was threatened. Right now though, was simply relaxation, and he chuckled, rolling his eyes a little bit, If you say so, I guess.

Auggie and Xavier would probably be able to get into a lot of trouble, but somehow Yann had a feeling that Xavier would make sure word didn’t really reach Bella, or else risk the fact that she would be flying down to Dartmouth and kicking his butt the moment she saw him. Ah but I think you’re wrong there – I think Xavier would probably be the one getting hit quite strongly, possibly with a very hard purse, he added as an afterthought to the musings they were having out loud, and he grinned at the thought. Not that he wanted to bring any harm to the German prince, by all means no. The man was under enough pressure as it were, but at the same time, Yann was sure it would have been an interesting sight to see, that much was certain, because with his 6 feet 6 inches, Xavier was the tallest of all the royals or servants around right now, and Bella was this tiny little thing who looked like she could barely hold her own in a verbal fight even. But he was sure that appearances could be deceiving, which was why he wouldn’t put it past her to actually hit someone, even if it wasn’t initially in her nature to do so. He rolled his eyes, and gave her an exasperated look, Be prepared then, because unfortunately for you and Auggie, I’m usually the one who gets right at the end of the day, and that means I’ll be the one doing all the dragging away parts. Because that would probably be the only way she’d be able to actually stay safe long enough to get that crown onto her lovely head. Yann shook his head and placed a kiss on her hair in affection. Hey, I’m always source for amusement when it comes to you, so no experiments needed, he complained, besides, you get into enough trouble for the both of us. If you stopped, I’d probably be out of work, so that means you’re allowed one little trouble every now and then. That, and she wouldn’t have been the same without that tendency to look at him with her big blue eyes and just act innocent over whatever had happened. He sighed dramatically as she pointedly ignored the compliment given to her, and instead simply held her closer as they danced. When she mentioned the book series he abhorred though, Yann’s nose wrinkled, Please leave it out of this. I honestly can’t remember books I would’ve hated as much as I hate those. Ugh. He was glad when topic returned to dancing, and he smiled enigmatically, We’ll be fine. Between my calm face and your awesome skills of keeping my father in check, we’ll survive. But one more dance is definitely something we can do. His arms snaked tighter around her waist as he leaned in to kiss her lips, unable to get enough of them now that he basically had almost free access.
