The forgotten Royal

"Is everything alright?" Dmitry asked me as I sat back down on my seat.

"Yes, everything is fine. Why?"

"Oh... just wondering."

".... Hmm..."

"Anyways, I have... a small question."

"What is it?"

"Uh, how old are you??"

"I'm 19 years old."

"Oh okay. Phew... I'm 21."

"Look, if i were to be below 18 I wouldn't have accepted your proposal until then if you were not taken. So, relax!!"

"Heh, that's true."

"Here is your food, Madame, Sir." A waiter places the plates in front of us.

"Thank you." Dmitry said as the waiter bowed small and walks away.

At first, we ate in silence until I broke it and brought up a random topic. After eating, Dmitry paid for the food as we were going to leave.

Exiting the restaurant, I feel Yukino pat my shoulder lightly as she walked past me. "Good night."

Yukino gives me a slight smirk, which makes me to growl under my breathe. "Good night Yukino."

"You know them?" Dmitry asked, watching Yukino and Cloud walk away.

"Yeah.."

"Hm.. Okay. Well, I'll take you home."

"Okay.."

Dmitry gently takes my hand and walks up to his car. Taking back his hand, I queitly follow. We entered the car and sat in there in silence. Something was in his mind alright, and I think I know what.

"Are.. you okay?" I asked, giving him a concerned look.

"Well..." Dmitry looks at me with a small wary smile

"What is it?"

"Just promise me you won't hit me or anything..."

"Uh, okay. I promise."

"Alright..." He gently cups my face with his hands and kisses me gently but lovingly.

Widening my eyes slightly, I sit there completely dazed. He... just kissed me... and I wasn't expecting it at all. Slowly coming back to my senses, I close my eyes and return the kiss. After some time, Dmitry breaks the kiss.

Staring at him for a few seconds, a small smile forms on my face. "That... was surprising."

"Heh, sorry."

"Why apologize? It's not like I hit you or something."

"I'm glad!"

"Hehe, of course you are."

Dmitry smiles small as he starts the car. "Its getting late, I'll take you home now."

"Okay."

It took about ten minutes for him to take me back to Akira's house. Before giving him my farewells, we exchanged phone numbers. Walking up the door, I raise a hand to knock it. But before my hand landed, the door suddenly opened, making me to get unbalanced.

"You're back!!" Akira exclaimed as she grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside as she closed the door behind her. "So??? How was it!!?"

"It was fine."

"You have to tell me anything!!"

"Heh, okay. But first, let me take a shower and change into something comfortable. Then, while laying down, I'll tell you everything."

"Okay!!"

And that is what exactly happened. I took a shower, changed into my favorite panda pajamas, layed on the bed with Akira in her room, and told everything. From the beginning to end.
