Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sebastian snickered. "Oh really? I haven't even though about getting her in your bed?" He smirked up at the Prince. Nathaniel had to bite down on his lip to hold back a smirk. He tried to shake his head, but Sebastian leaned forward and said, "He's a filthy liar. Don't listen to a word he says." Nathaniel kicked his ankle. "I should've fired you the first time you pissed me off." He grumbled. Sebastian chuckled and went back to whispering things to Andromeda.

"Yes yes, kinky. Like whips, and uhhh, handcuffs." Even Nathaniel flushed at this. Sebastian did this to any female he saw Nathaniel with. Some of the maids had actually listened to him, it had been terrible. Nathaniel pulled him back again and said, "You've had enough of a talk with Andromeda, now go do your job." Sebastian pouted. "Fine." He stalked off, leaving Nathaniel with a still red face.

"No no no!" Nathaniel said immediately shaking his head viciously. "Not at all!" His cheeks were a bright red from embarassment. "Ignore half the stuff he says." What a great friend he had eh? Always teasing him around any female. Nathaniel had known the butler ever since he was little, and he had become one of his best friends in the palace.

He then asked her again. "What do you want to do today. Anything without whips and chains please." He said with a sigh.

He smirked at her dungeon comment and continued walking in a random direction letting his feet lead him. Cubbyholes. There were so many. But where to go first? There was the compartment under the stairs. It was a small spot, they'd practically be sitting on each other if he were take her there. He only stashed random items there.

Then there was the large closet in his room. Which wasn't really a cubbyhole. He just liked to sit there a lot.


That’s when it struck him. He knew where. He lead her to a small janitor’s closet like room. He opened the door and pulled her inside the small room. It was hard to see, but he knew his way around here easily. He tapped a small button, and the sound of something falling open was heard. Another sound indicated something falling down to them. Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her waist and grabbed onto a ladder that was hard to see. ”Hold on.” He said.

With another tap of the button, they shot up. The ladder took them to a small room, that seemed to look like an attic. It had the smell of chocolate and flowers. There was a semi- circular window, that allowed you to see outside. From the window you could see the whole kingdom. They were at the top of the palace. Though, no one could see into the window. From the outside, it looked like the bricks of the palace. This room was his little secret.

Not even his mother knew about this little room. It was his safe haven. He had gotten it built during a month when she wasn’t there. The room was cluttered, yet comfortable looking. Bean bag chairs were laid about the floor, which was scattered with books, photos, and small trinkets. He sat down on a bean bag chair and grinned. ”Make yourself at home.”

He snickered. "No one but me and Sebastian know about this place. I don't think I even brought my friend Max up here." He grinned and pointed at a little wooden box. "Open that." The box was filled to the brim with sugary goodness. He was in the mood for chocolate. Perhaps some candy as well.

He picked up a photo from the ground. There were many scattered around. They were usually of him with another female, or with him goofing off with friends. There were a few of him on the floor, completely piss drunk, with something drawn on his face by his friends.

He looked at the photo in his hand. It just happened to be of him and his father. Gritting his teeth, he dropped it immediately.

He looked up from the picture on the ground, and swallowed back the lump in his throat. "O-oh. No, you can have as many as you wish. Just throw me some as well." He quickly picked up another picture to make it look like he wasn't dwelling on the picture he had just thrown down. This picture was of him a girl that he had once liked quite a bit. He couldn't help but grin at the picture.

He looked over the edge of the picture at Andromeda, and the same grin crossed his face. He quickly looked down again.

He shoved the picture facedown on his lap as she approached him. It was just then when he saw the note on the back. He stood up to retrieve the chocolate, and merely folded the picture and put it in his pocket to look at the note later. He noticed the corners of her mouth and smirked. "You have a little something here.."

He gently wiped the chocolate away with this thumb. Before moving his hand from her face he tilted her head up a bit and said, "Just a bit more left.." He gently placed his lips on hers, but for merely a few seconds and then drew back. "There." He smirked down at her, and took the chocolate from her hands.

Noticing her reaction the the kiss he went back and sat down on the beanbag. She had slapped her hands over her lips immediately, what did that mean? He sighed slightly and shrugged. "Chocolate's a bit tempting, if you get what I mean." He chuckled humourlessly.

He sat down and pulled the picture out again. He looked at the girl and then took a glance at Andromeda. There were so many similarities. The only difference had to be the striking green eyes the girl in the photo had. He bit his lip, tempted to read the note he had forgotten about, but decided to save that for later.
