Nathaniel had to hold back laughing as she walked away. He brushed off his shirt as he went back to the small hidden room. He sat down straight in front of Andromeda and stared at her for a while in silence. He then grinned, stood up and sat down on a bean bag chair.
"Needed to see something pretty after that horrid face." He said, as if that explained everything. He then smirked at her and added, "By the way, we're officially dating now."

Andromeda flushed as he sat there looking at her. Maybe he was so mad at her that he could not even speak at her, just stare her down. Just when she was feeling nervous about what was going on in his mind, he grinned, and took a seat a little further away from her.
"Dating?" she asked in a squeak of a voice. "I thought you just said a date... oh, well, I suppose it won't be too bad and I do feel guilty for forcing you to date that troll of a woman."
In reality she was interested in getting to know Nathaniel more. He was a sweet kid that, in her opinion, was given an unfair wrap. While he did sleep with a lot of girls she did not see him as the sort that abandoned the girls that he truly liked.

He smirked. "You should feel more than guilty. She was trying to weasel her way into my pants." Sebastian shuddered at the thought of it as Nathaniel laughed softly. He then turned to Andromeda once more and arched an eyebrow. "What if I had let her into my bed chambers. How would you feel?"
Sebastian seemed to be examining Nathaniel. The young prince held, no smirk on his face, not the slightest trace of amusement at this question. Was he actually serious? The Prince rarely ever cared what others thought of his sex life. Had this little maid really changed his ways.

The young woman looked up at him, shock shining in her eyes. Was he really upset about that notion? It would have made Andromeda feel horrible if the prince were to have slept with a woman as vile as Angelica but, really, she doubted that he would have let it get so far. Even if he was a lady's man, Nathaniel would never let someone like that foul, green haired woman into his bedroom anyway.
"It wouldn't have happened," she replied softly. "You know just as well as I do she isn't your type. I don't see how she is anyone's type."

He arched an eyebrow. "Are you sure?" He asked persistently. "Are you sure I wouldn't do her just for the sake of doing her?" Sebastian punched Nathaniel's arm playfully. "You wouldn't do that hag if she was the last person on the planet." Nathaniel chuckled and said, "There's always the option of putting a bag over her head yknow."

The very idea of someone doing anyone for the 'sake' of it made Andromeda flush deeply. Was IT that good? She had never even experimented with the notion of it. Not many boys gave her attention... unless it was a butler and then it was only to hurl and insult at her. There was a hierarchy within the servants. Those who worked inside were treated better and giving better clothing than those who worked outdoors.
"Why would you want to waste that bag?" she asked. "No amount of covering can hide a nasty soul."

The prince shrugged. "As long as she has a nice --" Sebastian slapped the back of his head before he could finish that sentence. Nathaniel laughed as he rubbed his head. He changed the topic and said, "Where were we? Oh yes. Sebby, your turn. Truth or dare?"
"Dare" The butler said without hesitation.
"I dare you to ask out that girl you've been eyeing for the past year." He said with a grin.
Sebastian flushed a bright red as Nathaniel asked Andromeda, "Sounds like a fair deal, right princess?"

Andromeda smiled. She wondered who Sebastian would ask out. Although she did not seem like the type to get swept up in the relational politics of the servant hierarchy, she was almost certain that he had his eye on one of the maids. A lot of the prettier girls were made into maids. The queen was rather stringent about appearances.
"It seems like a fair enough deal to me," she replied with a wry smile. "I bet she is really lovely, too."
Even if the house hands had given her a hard time it was hard to deny their physical beauty.

Sebastian bit his lip and then stood up. He glanced at the prince once more and nodded. He headed down the stairs and in through a long hallway. Nathaniel grabbed Andromeda's hand and helped her down, as they followed the butler. Sebastian took a quick turn into a room, and that's when Nathaniel stopped Andromeda.
Sebastian sat down in front of the female who sat in the corner of the room knitting. She looked up at him, and grinned. "Sebastian, back again?" He nodded. "Of course, my darling Cecila."
Nathaniel had lied about Sebastian liking the female for only a year. For as long as Nathaniel had known the butler, he had liked the female for as long as he could remember. The tragic incident of her parents death had shocked the female, and caused her to fall into mental breakdowns at times. Normally, she was a very pleasant female. Loud sounds were the cause to her mental breakdown, for her parents had died in a car crash, leaving her as the only survivor.
Sebastian spoke softly to her. "I have a question for you sweetie." She looked up and smiled. "Yes? Ask away." Sebastian's cheek grew bright red and he asked, "W-would you like to accompany me on a date tomorrow?" The female's face grew bright red as well. Just before she could answer, outside in the garden, some maid had dropped a pot. This caused Cecila's eyes to grow wide, making her baby blue eyes cloud over. She let out a scream of pain as she backed away from Sebastian, cornering herself in between two walls. Her screams were muffled as she tried to back away from whatever had made that sound. Sebastian closed his eyes and slowly stood up as the nurses ran into the room.
He met Nathaniel outside and merely gave him a sad grin. The prince patted the butler on his back and lead them back upstairs.

She followed closely behind the prince, her heart throbbing almost painfully from what they had exchanged. Although she told herself that she would not fall so quickly or for someone who could easily break her heart, she found herself being completely captivated by him. Maybe he really would be the one.
The novelty and mirth of their game of truth and dare immediately dispersed after hearing what had happened to the maid. All of the color drained from Andromeda's face as she listened to the horrid shrieking. Her gaze lifted to Nathaniel's and she chewed on her lip. When Sebastian walked by she shot him a truly apologetic look. Going through that could not have been easy in the least.
"Maybe we should stop playing," she said in a small tone of voice. "I don't know if this is turning out as fun as it was advertised"

"I think it's fair to stop now." The prince replied with a small nod. Sebastian gave him a thankful grin, which he returned with a smirk. "But hey, you were close this time." Sebastian's shoulders stiffened a bit, but he merely nodded as he climbed up the the hidden room and threw himself onto a couch in the corner of the room.
Nathaniel sighed. They had been at this for years. Everytime the butler went to confess to the girl, something would go wrong. Last year, a pot falling. The year before that, Rubi yelling at Nathaniel. And so on and so forth. Every year there was something.
Nathaniel sat on the windowsill, crosslegged biting his lip in concentration. He wanted to get them together, but it had to be in a quiet room, but the nurses won't let her out of that one goddamn room. He sighed as he played with the fur on a pillow laying by his foot.

Andromeda was unsure of what to do in that moment. There were no words for a moment like that. Sebastian looked entirely devastated about what had happened; as if a stiff wind would shatter him. She wondered how long his love for the girl went unrequited. It must have been painful to deal with something like that. She cast a sideways glance at Nathaniel and wondered what he thought of their situation. Had he watched her from afar with the same pining? Likely not but the idea was very romantic.
"We have to figure out a way for the two to date one another," she said and she walked over to the prince, hands on her hips. "There is no other way around it. The two need to be paired together. Such emotions can't be felt only one way! She has to have the same feelings for him, too."

He nodded. "I have absolutely no doubt that she likes him back. She's so much quieter and shyer around him. You should've seen her before. She'd be bouncing off the walls, and the minute he'd walk in, she'd completely freeze."The prince smirked at his friend who merely grew a bright red. "So. What I suggest is sinister plotting." He faked an evil laugh only to end up coughing.

"What sort of plan in that?" she asked. The excitement in her voice showed how piqued her interest was. While she wasn't one for idle gossip she did love these kind of things. How very romantic this all was! She placed a hand over her heart and smiled brightly.
"I want to help! You have to let me help! I will not take no for an answer, Nathaniel. Especially since she clearly likes our Sebastian back!"

He snickered. "Don't get your panties in a twist." With a wink he quickly added, "That's my job." He then paced back and forth thinking. What could they do to get the two together? Pathetically, Sebastian groaned, "There's no use, we're just not meant to be!" Nathaniel snapped at him to shut up and continued pacing.
