The next morning... Prince Charming had gotten up a bit earlier than usual, making sure not to wake Merethist and had asked a goblin to bring them breakfast in bed. Really, the prince didn't care about being found out so much if the goblins ratted, and besides, the goblins seemed to be rather fond of Merethist in the first place. Charming was aware that it was only a matter of time until they were completely uncovered in all of this.
He watched the goblin enter carrying an overlarge tray that had altogether too many sugary things on it - they really did seem to know Merethist. The goblin set the tray on the end of the bed before scurrying out. Charming stretched slightly, watching Merethist who was still asleep - that would have to be changed. Charming leaned over and placed a kiss to the other's lips. The usual waking up of sleeping beauty. He smiled into the kiss at the thought.

Merethist was curled in a ball, the covers right up to his chin and he was hugging his halloween treat doll closely to himself. He shifted, unaware of anything going on around him as he slept, mumbling a little and shifting onto his back, he continued to dream his nice dream.
That was, until he felt something warm tugging him awake and that warmth was pressing against his lips. His eyes slowly fluttered open and his mouth opened slightly, before he closed it and kissed Charming back, sleepy and a bit disorientated. He cuddled closer to Charming and smiled.
"g'morning, Prince" he murmured against his lips, giggling a little.

Charming smiled down at the disoriented Merethist, kissing him back before pulling away a bit. "Good morning." He watched Merethist thoughtfully for a moment. "Breakfast is here." He added, gesturing to the end of the bed with a smile. He had no clue as to when he'd last been in such a good temperment, and really, he didn't care to think back that far. He was busy enjoying himself here and now - it didn't look like that was going to change all that soon.
Charming surveyed the surgary breakfast thoughtfully, picking out a few proteins in the mix that weren't too sugar-filled. Not that he was the type to pass up desert or anything, it was just that too much sugar for one meal could become rather... not-enjoyable for the prince. Not that it mattered, seeing as how Merethist was overly-fond of sugars. Next time he had breakfast with Merethist he'd make sure the presence of things on the breakfast tray was a little more evened out.

Merethist smiled and sat up slowly, brushing a few errant strands of pink hair from his eyes as he looked at the breakfast tray. Merethist as in a good mood; as he usually was and he crawled towards the end of the bed, covers still wrapped around him.
He plopped himself into a sitting position near the tray and picked up a muffin, breaking a piece of with his hands he popped it into his mouth and started to eat, his gaze landing on Charming. He smiled at him and surveyed what was on the tray. They were all his favourites!! Honey on toast,muffins, porridge, panckaes and waffles and even chocolate milk and sweet milk tea, he made a happy sound and picked up the jug of sweet milk tea and poured himself some into a glass, sipping it.

Charming smiled at Merethist, glancing at the breakfast once more. He could probably afford to pass for now... Yet he moved to the end of the bed with Merethist and picked up a piece of toast - which would suffice for breakfast. After a munch or two he placed his toast back down on the edge of the tray, more in favor for watching Merethist. On a whim he raised his hand and began to brush his fingers lightly through Merethist's pink hair.
A small sense of dread filled his stomach as he thought about the talk he would have to have with his mother today. It was, of course, the last thing he wanted to do. She wouldn't understand - would she? And he was aware that he'd have to tell her his lover was male. Or would he? He wasn't sure on the matter just yet. Besides that, he'd first have to get himself out of his arranged marriage - which was practically over before it start anyway... Oh, yes, he'd have quite the long talk with his mother today.

Merethist blinked, wondering why Charming wasn't eating alot. He couldn't eat all this on his own!! Pouting, he picked up a strawberry from off of one of the pancakes and held it up to his mouth, smiling coyly. "say aaaah~" he cooed, giggling a little. Charming was going to eat this, even if Merethist had to pin him down and force him to!!
He blinked and blushed as Charming ran a hand through his hair and smiled, still holding the strawberry up. He didn't want to feel like a pig, eating more then Charming did and besides, feeding Charming could be fun.

Prince Charming blinked at Merethist as he held up a strawberry. "Ahh?" It was more of a question than anything else that he'd opened his mouth to ask. His head felt as if it were spinning with the thoughts flying about in it at the moment - he was basically barely even there as they did these things. His mind was concentrated on something else right now - something he felt was just a little more important.
He'd have to duck out of breakfast in bed very soon to go and search out his mother before she busied herself with something that wouldn't allow him to search her out. And she'd probably try, too, seeing the stunt she'd pulled on Merethist and he the other evening. Not that getting justice for that really even mattered anymore - he'd get his point over and see what happened.

Merethist giggled and popped the strawberry into Charming's mouth, kissing his cheek before he got up and got off the bed. Breakfast was finished and he'd let the goblins finish off any leftovers. He stretched and grabbing one of Charming's nightshirts again, he tugged it on and gathered up his clothing.
"I'm going to get changed and go to the library, i'll see you later, okay??" he said, before walking out the door and running across the hall to his rom, just in case Charming's mummy spotted him. He was still a little afraid of her and after he went into his room, he went to take a bath.

Charming chewed the strawberry and swallowed, watching curiously as Merethist snatched one of his nightshirts, tugged it on, and then gathered up his clothing. "Okay." He nodded, watching Merethist fly out the door. Charming then got out of the bed himself to fetch some clothing. He threw it on quickly before tying his hair back with a laveder ribbon and going out the door.
He located his mother in the gardens where they talked. In the first five minutes he was able to convince her against arranged marriage. In the next five minutes he informed her of how unhappy he was that she had used a potion on Merethist. And then they talked about Merethist. Who was she? He, he corrected much to his mother's horror and disdain. It took about three minutes to convince her that 'love was love' even though Charming didn't quite believe in that himself. Besides, Merethist might as well have been a woman - something they both agreed on.
In the end, Prince Charming's mother was happy. "There will be a ball tonight and I want to see both of you there~" She sang. Of course, she'd already explained the whole ball idea to her son. She was not going to let him go another day without getting engaged. So long as her son finally had someone to marry she was easily pleased. Besides that, Merethist had sounded nice at least. And then beyond that they probably loved eachother. It was going to be an interesting evening, indeed.

Merethist had had a nice long bath and was dressed, he had grabbed some toffee bonbons from a bowl in the kitchen and was currently curled up in a chair in the library, looking through a spell book with pretty, moving diagrams.
He had no idea about any of the plans and was happily humming to himself, turning a page and coming across a page on the actual labyrinth's diagram, he started trying to solve it by running his finger along the pathways, thus he found a thing to try and do for hours.

Prince Charming walked through the halls of the Goblin King's castle quite contentedly. So he was happy now, everything was right now. Wasn't it? Yes. It had to be. He found a goblin and questioned him on the whereabouts of Merethist - it was now off to the library. He walked into the library and blinked. "Merethist." He spoke his name as he moved forward, blinking at the page Merethist was turned to. It looked like a diagram of the Labyrinth.
"There's going to be a ball tonight," He began to explain, "With no pink champagne." He added rather randomly. "Will I see you there?" The question behind the words was obvious. You are coming, I will see you there.

Merethist nearly missed Charming saying his name, he was that engrossed in the book and he finally looked up when his finger reached yet another dead end. He smiled and put the book down, one hand gently clasping Charming's.
"of coarse" he murmured happily, smiling yet again. Another ball?? Charming must like balls, he mused as he got up, brushing his dress out. He was still nervous about Charming's mother and knew he'd most likely have to be secretive about being near him. "...what about your mum, she isn't going to potion me again is she??" he asked nervously.

In truth, Prince Charming had never really been all that fond of social events. He just went because, other than princess-saving, there really didn't seem to be anything else to do. He smiled at Merethist's agreement, squeezing the other's hand and feeling the affectionate simplicity of the gesture course through him. It was strange that he considered things like that special by now. He wasn't sure if it would last. He could only really hope.
"Oh, my mother knows about you and has agreed not to feed you any potions." Charming replied, absentmindedly brushing back a strand of blonde hair that had escaped the ribbon. In fact, Charming's mother had gotten almost terrifying enthusiastic in the whole situation by the end of their conversation. The ball was sure to be rather extravagant - that much Charming knew his mother would carry out.

Merethist gave Charming an openly surprised look at his words. Charming's mother knew and she wasn't trying to kill him?? He was surprised and that much was obvious in his open-mouthed expression. He collected himself a few moments later, still holding his hand. He felt protected and wanted when he held Charming's hand, it was weird and he couldn't help but like it.
"o-okay.." he felt strange, like the world had been turned on its head. Did Charming's mother know he was male?? He didn't know and absently, he snuggled closer to Charming, thoughtfully burshing a hand over Charming's cheek.

Charming gave Merethist a reassuring smile, enjoying the feeling of the other's hand brushing against his cheek. He then peered around the library in an almost expectant manner. "Well, I have to go now." He announced, biting his lip lightly. His mother wanted him for the day, apparently. They had 'planning' to do, or so she'd put it. The woman was excited and it was all his fault.
"See you tonight?" He asked, glancing at Merethist. Plans, plans, more plans, and decisions were about to color his day. Never mind that he was going to do one of the oddest things in the history of the Underground later. Only made odd due to gender.
