What would happen if both Yuu and Riddle “protect” eachother from their pseudo siblings potencial eel mate? Because we already see Riddle mother hening Yuu so if Yuu ever explicitly states how uncomfortable they feel around Jade I’m pretty sure Riddle would not hesitate helping Yuu getting out of situations with Jade or like being the third wheel in their project group (with Jade and Yev). And I feel that Yuu would feel the same if Riddle feels a similar way to Floyd cause personally if someone was making my presh baby sibling uncomfortable (or annoying them) I would not hesitate to put the fear of god into them/gremlin my way to cockblocking them.

But then again Jade and Floyd seem like they already made up their minds that Yuu/Riddle are already their mate, but how far will they go to go against their shrimp/goldfish in law?

I just feel like this has hijink potencial, like Jade would try to talk to Yuu and Riddle pops out of no where or Floyd tries to take Riddle away then Yuu comes sliding out of no where grabs Riddle then runs away (I personally headcannon that out of the sibling relationship that Yuu is just more of a gremlin than Riddle always having a bit of a clown flair to their actions whether it’s their intention or not (totally not projecting) while Riddle is like that reasonable older sibling where antics just happen around them)

Sorry for the long post this has just been rotting in my brain for a while. -🧀anon

BRO YES

I was intending on writing these sorts of interactions between them, but since I added the titles the flow of the story has changed a bit so I'm not sure if it will fit into the main fic.

But yes, once it's been established with the two that both of the twins are interested in them, and that they want to avoid them at all costs (no emotional health with these two lads), they are making a game plan.

Riddle is very prim and proper, so he's appalled at the thoughts Jade is having about Yuu (nevermind that these sorts of things are pretty normal for most people) and going out of his way to put space between the two. Jade comes up to whisper in their ear? Riddle is loudly asking, “Oh Jade, did you have something to say? Why don't you share it with me and Yev?” Lunchtime has been monopolized by Riddle and the rest of Heartslabyul, though some of the random students are confused as to why Riddle has insisted that they sit with Ramshackle.

Yuu on the other hand take it upon themselves to interrupt Floyd mid-chase with Riddle and asking him questions about Jade. Things they know he'll report back to Jade, but subtle enough that you couldn't take them at face value. “Hey Floyd! Question: what sort of things does Jade like? No reason, I'm just making sure I have gifts for your guys' birthday!” If Riddle is in at club practice? You're there and “talking” his ear off, interrupting Floyd's quips until he gets so frustrated that he leaves.

If they try to give either one of you gifts? “Oh, thank you, I think Riddle/Yuu will like this! I'll share it with him/them!”

Study dates? “Oh, let me join you too! Let's make it a group actually, I'll bring my dorm members.”

It becomes such a reoccurring thing, seeing Yuu and Riddle together, that rumors start going around that the two are actually dating. The twins are a mix of devastated, annoyed, and thrilled at the hilarity of it all.

Shrimpy doesn't want Floyd to mess with his Goldfiishie? Fine, let's have some fun, you said you wanted to go to the store? Let's go, and oh look there's Jade as well! Oh, and look at the time, Floyd has to go work his shift at the lounge (since when has he cared), have fun with your date with Jade! :D

Riddle is very protective of Jade's Pearl? That's fine, Yuu can stay with Yev then while he and Riddle go to the gardens to get some ingredients. And if Jade happens to disappear, Floyd in his place, well then it's just a coincidence! Jade just remembered that they also needed to buy some herbs from Sam's, he didn't mean to leave Riddle. :''''(

Morays may be cowards, but they're also opportunistic predators. They'll find ways to get around Riddle and Yuu's shenanigans. After all, if the two reeeally didn't feel the same way as them, they surely they would've said something to their respective eel. Maybe they like the attention~

Fan fiction dork is back again. This is long.

"No!"

The flat refusal made Aerith pull a face and roll her eyes. "Such a mood." She turned towards Tifa, stationed over by the grill and asked, "How do you put up with him?"

Tifa glanced up, a questioning look on her face. "Huh?" Her gaze went from Aerith to Cloud, who had his arms folded and was staring at her like he expected back up. She shrugged one shoulder and went back to staring at the burgers sizzling away. "He's got his charm," she replied in a light voice.

When Aerith glanced at Cloud she caught the tail end of a smug smile. "You're so easily pleased when you wanna be," she teased, poking his bicep.

Cloud leaned away and scowled. "Is there a reason you're here?"

Aerith's eyes widened. "Wow, rude." She looked around the new Seventh Heaven and smiled. The people of sector seven really loved Tifa. They rebuilt the whole bar by the time the group returned to Midgar. Even better, they added a daytime cafe where Aerith could help out and spend time with her bestie. "I'm here to collect on a date," she said with an evil grin.

Cloud choked and turned to look at Tifa. "What!?"

Aerith would've bet all the flowers in her garden that he was hoping she hadn't heard that. Letting him hang in suspense for a moment longer than she had to, she finally put Cloud out of his misery by saying, "Tifa and I have a date in sector eight later." She was evilly amused at the sigh of relief from him. Leaning closer and ignoring how he moved away, she added, "Did you forget I have a boyfriend? Zack doesn't like you enough to share." She giggled when she spotted Cloud's face turning red.

"Quit it!" He got up and went to sit at the counter.

He's such a kid. Aerith shook her head and smiled fondly at his back.

Tifa looked over her shoulder and smiled at him. "You okay?"

"I've been better," he replied, shooting Aerith a dirty look.

Tifa sighed. "Can I trust you two to play nice while I call everyone in?"

"Tifa--!" Cloud pouted.

"Sure thing!" Aerith waved Tifa's concerns away.

"Great. Be right back." With a friendly nod, Tifa swiftly plated the food, set it on the counter ready for pick up, and came through the swing door. On her way out, she paused beside Cloud and laid her hand on his back. "Be nice," she whispered in his ear in a teasing tone.

"I'm doing my best," he replied, a small smile appearing and disappearing like lightning. With Tifa so near, Cloud took the chance to sneak a swift kiss on her cheek, leaving her blushing and biting her lip.

"Be right back," she repeated in a soft voice, before jogging out of the bar.

Aerith clasped her hands together. "You two are so adorable!"

Cloud pulled a face and rolled his eyes.

"I told you she was someone special," she went on.

"You want a medal?" he asked, half joking.

"You got a medal?"

"Nope." He got up and started moving plates to a long table set up that morning.

Aerith watched him move with methodical precision. Even a casual black t-shirt and blue shorts couldn't hide his natural grace. Nothing Cloud did was without purpose. He used words sparingly before he was himself again, but Aerith half-expected him to become more chatty afterwards. She hadn't realised Cloud was Cloud, just a little less moody, more obviously kinder and even more stupidly in love with Tifa. She supposed that kindness was the reason she and Zack survived in the end, despite what she did to fate. She wanted him to live so badly, she defied the will of the planet. But, as she said to Cloud that night in her dream, everyone dies eventually. Whether she and Zack have years, months, weeks, days or less together before that happens, they still have so many moments more than what they did before. She was more happy now than she can remember being in her entire life. She has a life and can laugh with the people she loves. She has friends and Zack. She has Cloud and everyone else to thank for it. Tears gathered in her eyes and she swiftly brushed them away.

Not swiftly enough.

"You good?" Cloud paused between the bar and table.

Aerith gave him a bright smile. "Sure am!"

He raised a doubtful eyebrow, but didn't pry further.

Aerith ducked her head and laughed to herself. Cloud never cared enough about her to want to dig deeper. And she never trusted him enough to want to share. Not like Zack. That was who she'd been so desperate to see in him when they first met, but it was all too obvious she was deluding herself when the way he acted wasn't anything like Zack. Not deep down, anyway. A few similar poses, a uniform and mako infused eyes didn't turn Cloud into her one true love. She flushed with guilt and shame thinking about the way she acted. Did I ever apologise for that? "You know, Cloud," she began, finding she couldn't look at him.

"Yeah, I know Cloud," he said, stopping a foot away from her and crossing his arms.

When Aerith looked up she saw a friendly smile on his face. She laughed and shook her head. "I'm sorry."

Cloud frowned. "For what?"

"For not being all that nice to you when we first met." She pulled on her bangs, using the physical pain as a focus. "I was...trying to make you someone you weren't. Someone you could never be."

"S'alright," he replied, shrugging it off. "I was, too."

Aerith looked at him then and nodded. "Yeah, I guess you were." She laughed. They both missed Zack so much they fooled themselves. But now they didn't need to because he was here. Alive. With them.

Cloud nodded. "So, we good?" He turned to grab the last of the plates.

Aerith felt lighter. "Yeah. We're good."

"I spy an angel." Zack greeted Aerith with a broad smile as he entered the bar, using the shirt he held to wipe his sweaty face. "You should have joined us, Cloud. Barret kicked the ball at Red, so he burst it with his tail!" He laughed and shook his head.

"Maybe later," Cloud replied, shrugging. Exercising in hot weather reminded him of pointless drills Heidigger made the grunts do until they dropped.

"What? Not a fan of team sports?" Zack headed straight for Aerith and squatted a little. He tapped a finger to his cheek and said, "To the victor goes the spoils."

Aerith laughed and put her hands on her hips. "Oh, I'm a prize now, am I?"

He turned his head to meet her eyes. "Absolutely, yes."

Cloud snorted and turned his back on them, muttering, "Weirdos."

Aerith giggled and playfully pushed Zack. "Oh, you!" As Zack rocked backwards Aerith grabbed his hand and pulled him to her. She wrapped both arms around his waist and hugged him tight. "Ew, you're all sweaty."

"Ah, sorry," he said, stroking her hair. "It's really hot out today. You guys made the smart choice staying inside." He tried to untangle her from him, but she held on tighter.

"It's okay," she buried her face against his bare chest, "I don't mind."

Zack kissed the top of her head.

Tifa re-entered the bar, followed by Barret, who had Marlene on his shoulder, Red, Yuffie, Cid, Vincent, Biggs and Wedge, who carried Cait Sith. "Great, everyone's getting along," she said, smiling at Cloud.

"You were only gone five minutes," he replied, a smile tweaking one corner of his mouth up. "How much trouble do you think I can get into?"

She leaned forward and smiled. "Lots."

Barret let out a gut busting laugh. "She's gotcha there!" He jiggled Marlene until she giggled. "Right, baby?"

"Uh huh, yeah!" Marlene nodded and wagged a finger at Cloud. "You're trouble, so you gotta let Tifa look after you!"

Cloud nodded, a serious look on his face. "Yes, ma'am."

Marlene giggled and Tifa smiled.

"Why's this boy such a goddamn fool, would someone tell me that?" Cid barged past everyone and took a seat at the table. "Well, we eatin' or not?" He slapped a hand on the tabletop.

Tifa looked flustered for a moment, then saw the food laid out ready.

"Maybe if the rest of you losers get to the table!" Yuffie mocked from her seat.

Zack's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "When did she--?" He stepped back from Aerith and put his shirt on, much to her disappointment.

"Ninja!" Yuffie gave him a finger gun salute and winked.

"Okay, everyone, let's sit down and eat before the food gets cold." Tifa urged with a cheerful smile.

"You know I don't need to eat," Vincent muttered, though he sat anyway.

"I appreciate the adaptation," Red said, perching on a footstool.

"You guys are family, and family eats together," Marlene said, wagging a finger at them both.

"You heard her, and nobody argues with Marlene," Biggs said, taking a seat beside her.

"I'm starving! If Vinny doesn't wanna eat I'll have his!" Wedge gave Vincent a huge smile.

"That's not my--"

"He'll still do it," Cloud said, interrupting him.

"Aww, thanks for sticking up for me, bro." Wedge targeted Cloud with an even larger smile.

Cloud gestured at him and said, "See?"

Vincent snorted, but pushed his plate over to Wedge.

"Okay, who wants drinks?" Tifa moved to stand behind the bar and grabbed a cocktail shaker.

"Ooh, can you teach me how to make something?" Aerith bounced up from beside Zack and darted over to Tifa.

"Uh, sure, I guess." Tifa smiled and nodded. "What do you want to drink?"

"Can you make a pink one?" Zack asked, turning in his seat and resting his forearm on the back.

"Pink isn't a flavour," Cloud joked, also turning around. His gaze locked with Tifa's. "Something sweet?"

"Oh, how about grapefruit!?" Aerith bounced on her toes.

Tifa looked at Aerith and tipped her head to one side. "But...that's not sweet?"

"I didn't ask for sweet, he did." She grinned and jabbed a thumb over her shoulder towards Cloud.

"Aerith likes drinks with a kick." Zack frowned thoughtfully. "Pineapple?"

Aerith clapped her hands together. "Yes!" She half turned and blew Zack a kiss. "You know me so well."

Zack looked stupidly pleased at her praise.

"Can y'all hurry it up. Feels like you're taking forever for just one drink." Barret gestured as he spoke. "People dyin' of thirst over here."

"Ah, sorry!" Tifa ducked her head.

Cloud got up. "I'll give you a hand." As he walked towards the swing door separating the front of the bar from the back, he said over his shoulder, "Beer good for everybody?" It's what they'd get even if they said no. A round of murmurs had him nodding.

"And juice for the kids," Cid added. "Two cups."

"Hey! I'm not a kid!" Yuffie huffed and crossed her arms.

"You're pouting like one." Biggs reached across the table to poke her cheek. "You look twelve."

Yuffie leaned back and stuck her tongue out at him.

Biggs chuckled. "And now you look like a ten year old."

As those around the table laughed, bickered and joked, Cloud moved around them and placed drinks within reach. He then went back to the bar, where Tifa, Aerith and Zack were still discussing cocktail combinations that included a bunch of fruit he'd never heard of. He felt like he couldn't contribute, so sat and watched Tifa. A slap on the back jolted him from his thoughts and he automatically scowled at the culprit.

"Woah, what'd I ever do to you?" Zack acted hurt, then chuckled. "Looks like you had something important on your mind," he said in a low voice. "Wanna talk?"

Cloud grimaced and half-turned away from the girls, just in case Tifa overheard. "Not really."

Zack put his hands on his hips and laughed. "You know, for a minute there I thought you changed, but I guess you'll always be the same Cloud." He ruffled Cloud's hair until Cloud slapped his hand away.

"Cut it out. It's not like that," he said, glancing at Tifa again.

"What?" Zack laid a hand on Cloud's shoulder. "Trouble in paradise?" He put on his best confidant expression. "Need some dating advice?"

Cloud shook his head and replied in a low voice, "It's been three months since, you know..."

"Sephiroth found his promised land, Jenova dissolved and we won it all?" Zack said this in a light tone, but tears still gathered at the corner of his eyes. The Sephiroth he knew wasn't the one Cloud hated for so long. He couldn't feel victorious about losing a good friend. Though that friend seemed lost for a long time, at the very end Sephiroth smiled like the man Zack remembered. He found himself again, and peace. Angeal and Genesis better be looking out for you over there. He blinked away the tears and focused on Cloud. "Yeah, so...?"

Cloud drew in a deep breath and let it out. "So, how long is long enough?"

Zack frowned. "For what?" He tried not to think too far ahead. Aerith already explained the planet could take them both back at any time, so he lived from moment to moment, never taking anything for granted. He had a home in sector five with Aerith and Elmyra, friends, his life and the freedom to choose what he wanted to do with the time he had. He was overflowing with gratitude and good cheer. And he'd promised some of that time would be spent helping Cloud not be such an insecure dork around the love of his life. Three months of dating and he still thinks she isn't as crazy about him as he is her. Zack wished Cloud could see the look on Tifa's face whenever he wasn't paying attention to her, scant as those moments were. It made Zack feel like a voyeur, and Aerith laughed hysterically when he said it because she felt the same.

Cloud sighed again. "Forget it."

"Has anyone ever told you that you think too much?" He patted Cloud on the back.

"No, Aerith, wait, the lid isn't--!"

Too late. Aerith turned the blender on and pink liquid sprayed up in an impressive geiser, tossing lumps of fruit in its wake.

"Tifa!" Cloud vaulted the bar and tried to get her out of the way.

Tifa cringed and tried to duck, but somehow both ended up covered, despite Cloud blocking the worst of it.

"Oops!" Aerith put her hands up and shrugged. Despite being the one to turn the blender on, she didn't have a speck of drink on her pink top or white skirt. She shot Zack a split second wink and he smothered a laugh.

"That's one way to help," he said to her in a low voice.

Cloud scowled to himself, then looked at Tifa. "You okay?"

She tried not to smile at how the juice flattened his hair. Reaching slowly, she picked a piece of pineapple clinging to his cheek and put it on the side. "Yeah, thanks."

Cloud stared into her eyes until they were all he could see. "Tifa, I--"

"You guys okay?" Wedge half rose from his seat before Barret and Biggs shoved him back down.

"Dummy!" Cait Sith hopped onto the table and hit him with its megaphone.

"Ow! Hey, what did I do!?" The ow was for show, Wedge had an indestructible body thanks to Hojo's "helpful" interference after he fell from the Shinra building. He was lucky to be more than a splat on the sidewalk, but that didn't make him grateful to the monster who made him.

"Gonna need to go wash up," Barret said to Tifa and Cloud. "Don't worry about us, we'll be fine by ourselves for a bit."

"Yeah," Aerith added, circling around them both and pushing them towards the stairs. "Better get that out of your hair before you have to cut it off."

Tifa drew in a sharp breath. "Right." She stopped and looked at the mess behind them. "What about--?"

"Don't worry about the bar."

"We got this!"

Zack and Biggs gave her a thumbs up.

Tifa looked at Cloud, who looked bemused. "Uh, okay, I guess. We'll be right back."

"Take your time!" Yuffie and Aerith said in unison. They looked at each other and giggled.

"What are they laughing about?" Cloud crossed his arms and tried not to drip too much as he and Tifa stood in the hallway outside the bathroom. He tried not to assume it was him, but old habits died hard.

"Hmm? I'm not sure." Tifa shrugged. She knew exactly what they were laughing at, but she didn't want to say and risk her face looking like a tomato. "Do you want to go first or should I?"

"You go, I'll wait out here."

Though they'd spent the night together before the final battle, they hadn't actually repeated it since. Maybe neither of them expected to survive, so if one night was all they got they'd make the most of it. But, they had won. They saved the planet and everyone got to go home. Together. Cloud kept up his merc work alongside Zack. The pair were almost too popular, and Cloud regularly finished his day emptying his pockets of scrap paper that had hastily written phone numbers scrawled on them. He pushed the pile across the bar and Tifa had the bin already waiting on her side. He always finished up by asking her to go somewhere with him.

Dates were fun and had no theme. Just the two of them wandering Midgar or going out on his custom bike the seller named Fenrir and Cloud developed a habit of treating like a treasured pet. The guy got a lifetime supply of food and drink from Seventh Heaven in exchange when gil alone wouldn't persuade him to sell. Tifa couldn't refuse when she saw the look of longing on Cloud's face. He had so little joy in his life until recently, there was no way she'd be responsible for taking any of it away.

The first time Cloud took her out on Fenrir, showing off and doing insane moves, it made her heart race with excitement. She locked her arms around his waist and laid her cheek against his back. She trusted him to keep her safe. She whooped and laughed, which encouraged him to show off even more. It was fun. When he eventually pulled up on a ridge overlooking Midgar, Tifa swung herself round to sit facing him. The look of adorable, wide eyed surprise made her beam. This was the Cloud she remembered best. Her Cloud. She leaned forward the same moment he reached for her. Their kiss, sweet and electrifying, left them both breathless and resting their foreheads against each other.

Coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after a hasty shower, Tifa smiled at the sight of Cloud leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. He had his eyes closed, so she could look her fill, though she could still feel a blush heating her cheeks.

"You done?"

Tifa jumped. Does he know?

Cloud opened his eyes, glanced at her, then smiled and looked away. "Can I get in there now?"

"Uh, yeah." Tifa tucked a strand of wet hair behind her ear.

Cloud pushed away from the wall and she tried not to smile at the drink stain he left behind. He thinks he's so cool. But, she found her feet stuck to the floor as he moved closer. Her eyes lowered from his face, which didn't improve anything because it drew her attention to his loose limbed walked instead. She swallowed and glanced at him through her lashes.

Cloud stopped with an inch of space between them. "Can I...get by?"

Flustered, Tifa realised she was blocking the door. "Oh!" About to step away, she caught sight of a teasingly smug smile on Cloud's face. She stopped and smiled back. "I dunno, can you?"

This time, Cloud swallowed. A slow blush lit his cheeks before he looked away. "You're dripping on the floor," he mumbled, pointing to the small pool spreading around Tifa's feet.

"And you're all sticky," she replied, gesturing at the patch on the wall.

Cloud glanced at the wall, then her and back again. "Uhh..."

Tifa ducked her head and laughed. Cloud never could keep up the bravado for long. She preferred his sweetness, anyway.

Surprising her by clasping her upper arms, Cloud gently urged Tifa aside while holding her gaze. His head darted forward and he stole a swift kiss before releasing her and heading into the bathroom. "Be right back."

Tifa licked her lips and tasted something sweet. "Uh, sure," she replied in a faint voice.

Was three months a long time to date before taking the next step? Tifa hadn't thought about it. She'd never dated before. Not really. Cloud lived at Seventh Heaven with her, but they had separate rooms. After the first time, she hadn't wanted him to think she was easy, or she expected anything from him. She didn't want him to feel pressured to move faster than he was ready for. Or maybe she was just scared. She didn't want to push for more in case he suddenly left. What if he didn't really feel the same way?

"You're a coward." Tifa sighed and stared out of the window. She'd changed into an aqua coloured dress and left her hair loose so it could dry. Thanks to the heat it almost was. "Why can't you just ask him?" She glared accusingly at the washed out reflection of herself framed in the window pane.

"Ask who what?" Cloud appeared behind her, dressed in a white t-shirt and shorts and roughly drying his hair with a towel. The gravity defying spikes were already rearranging to stick up in his signature style. When she didn't answer, he stopped and stared, then swiped a finger along her upper arm.

Tifa turned, eyes widening as he put it to his lips.

"Punch," he said, referring to the sticky drink residue.

"Oh." Tifa laughed. "Guess I missed a spot." She tried to hold onto the playful mood, but worry made her frown. "So, I guess everyone's leaving soon." She crossed her arms under her breasts and tried to smile. "They couldn't stick around forever, right? Cid and Yuffie have homes that aren't here. Nanaki, too. Barret wants to rebuild Corel, so I guess he'll be gone for awhile. It'll be quiet."

"Hmm." Cloud tipped his head to the side. "Not that quiet. Marlene'll need looking after and there's still Biggs, Wedge and Vincent." He paused and added, "And did you forget about Zack and Aerith? You really think it'll be quiet with them around?"

Tifa shook her head and smiled. "Guess not." She looked up at him. "I guess...I just hate goodbyes."

"It won't be for good. They'll come back and visit."

She couldn't help but look at him with hopeful eyes. "You think?"

Cloud swallowed and nodded. "Yeah."

She nodded, but grew apprehensive as she asked, "And you?"

Cloud frowned. "What about me?" He took a step closer. "I live here. With you."

"Yeah, we're neighbours again," she joked, referring to their separate rooms. Though, right then, Cloud was in her room and came in as though it belonged to him. She hadn't noticed, but he did that a lot.

"Don't have to be." His eyes were earnest and hopeful. He took another step, then waited, leaving her to close the remaining distance between them. "Tifa...You don't have to be afraid. I'm not leaving." He smiled and added, "So, suck it up."

Tifa ducked her head and laughed. "Did I really say that?" She walked towards him and he was already opening his arms to draw her in.

"Yup." Pressing his face against her neck he mumbled, "Scared the shit out of me. Don't go places I can't follow, okay?"

Tifa got the sense he meant emotionally, since there wasn't any place he couldn't find her if he wanted to. Oh. She wrapped her arms around his neck, threading her fingers through his hair. "I won't," she promised. Feeling daring, she kissed his cheek, then whispered in his ear, "You wanna sleep in here tonight?"

For once, Cloud one-upped her into speechlessness when he replied, "Every night." Moving to press a kiss to her lips, he added in a murmur, "But, can we save the sleeping for later? There's something else I've been waiting for first..."

As night drew in and the guests of Seventh Heaven cleared out calling goodnight to each other and still passing jokes back and forth, Aerith slotted her arm through Zack's and snuggled into his side. "So?" She looked up at him, a huge smile on her face and her eyes shining like emeralds.

Zack chuckled and tapped her on the nose. "Good job today! Mission success!"

Aerith giggled. "Those two." She mock sighed and shook her head. She stopped suddenly and pulled a face. "I didn't get my date with Tifa!" She growled with disappointment, making her sound like Red. "Cloud better appreciate this!"

Zack laughed. "Oh, I guarantee he does."

Aerith shook her head. "You perv."

He pointed at himself, then her. "If I'm one, so are you. It wasn't me who said those two need to stop overthinking things and just do it."

Aerith squealed and laughed. "Don't say it like that! People will send us to jail!"

Zack wrapped both arms around her waist and picked her up. "Wherever we go, it'll be together, so that's fine by me!"

Linking her fingers behind his neck, Aerith urged Zack to lower her enough so she could kiss him. "Yeah," she agreed, coming up for air and trying not to blush. "We're together and that's all that matters." She hugged him tight. "Let's go home. Mom's probably waiting up to give you a lecture."

Zack chuckled. "I'll win her over some day."

Aerith nodded. "Yeah, you will."

Why Is Everyone So Noisy?

Knock knock.

"My Lady, are you awake yet?"

What? It's already morning? Sigh. I should stop reading romance novel until midnight.

"My Lady, may I come?"

"Yes. I'm awake."

Ah. My eyes hurt. Did I overslept while reading book? No wonder my body is chilly since I'm not using my blanket properly.

"Oh my, are you reading until midnight again?"

"Shhh! Anna, keep your voice down. If dad found out he will yell at me again."

"You know that Duke is someone like that but you still dare to provoke him. I don't know if you're just a brave lady or simply an air headed."

I know that my dad is a scary person among nobility. Even The Royals don't dare to mess up with him. But still, live as a caged young lady like this isn't my style at all.

"My Lady, what time you sleep last night?"

"I don't really remember. What's wrong?"

"Not only your eyes are red, but your eyes also swollen. Your face looks so pale too"

"WHAAAAT?"

Drap drap.

No no no. Don't tell me...

Crap! Who is this horrible girl in the mirror? Is this really me? This is bad. If my dad found out he will start lecture me for hours!

"Aaaaaa. Anna, what should I do?"

"First you should wash your face. I will come back with cold water and towel. Also I will bring some camomile tea and breakfast."

"Anna, you're my angel!"

***

After wash my face and relax my body, now my face looks more like a human. What a beautiful life I have here.

Or not.

Braaaaakkkkk!!!

"MY LADY!! WE'RE IN TROUBLE NOW!!"

"Kiki, how can you act like that in front of your mistress? And don't be so harsh with the door."

"It's not the time to chit chat. Anna, you should dress up My Lady now. The Royals will come to our mansion!"

Give me some rest QwQ.

***

Just one line and everything start in hurry. Our mansion become so bussy since this morning because everyone rushed every preparation. In other room, Anna and Willow dolled me from head to toe. Just why The Royals come today.

"Willow, you're serving my dad this morning right? Aren't he supposed in the mine field now? Why The Royals suddenly come?"

"Sigh. That's something I want to know too. Our butler, Mr. Milles receive a letter from capital and told us that The Royals will come to have lunch with you and then like what you can see. Everyone is bussy like bees now."

"Me? Not my dad?"

"Yes. The letter said The Royals want to have lunch with you."

Did The Royals forgot what happened the last time they come without my dad knowledge? Are they bored enough and don't value their life to come here?

***

Time sure flies so fast. Just a while ago I wake up and now I should stand in front of my mansion door to greet our estimate guest.

Klotak klotak.

Oh, here they are. A dazzling carriage with royal knights in the left and right. Can they come more quietly? Why they always bring so many people here. 50 knights are too much.

Clack. Sound of carriage door open.

"Ah, Miss Chips~ Long time no see~"

A guy with blonde hair and blue eyes run over me with his warm smile. He open his arms wide like want to catch something.

"Kiro, stop that. Mind your behaviour in front of everyone."

"Then I can do it later in the private room?"

"That's not what I mean."

Another guy with brown hair and eyes grabbed blonde guy's collar while his another hand is in his waist.

"Thank you for visiting our mansion, your highnesses, Prince Gavin and Prince Kiro. It's been a while since the last time we meet."

"Ah..um. Yeah."

"What is that, Gavin? Why your face become red so suddenly?"

"Cough. It's the weather. We are on carriage for so long and it's so hot outside."

Someone from behind Gavin's back appeared and grab his shoulder.

"Well well. It can't be helped since our beloved Prince Gavin is so shy. Hoho~"

"Why are you also here Minor?"

"You won't stay for a hour if I'm not come along, your highness. Please let me help you. (whisper) Don't forget that I'm your cupid."

"Wha-?? Ehem. It seem you lack of works recently. I will give you more when we come back."

"Noooooo. Please spare me your highness!"

I'm so tired waiting for them in front of the door and when they will come in? My legs become numb since a long time ago. Can they continue their conversation when they're already in?

***

Now we are on the guest room and enjoy some tea with snacks. Ah, finally I can breath.

"Now now, Miss Chips. When will you spare your time for me? Since it's almost fall season I think scenery near the lake will be beautiful. How about we have a date there?"

Let me introduce them. He is the second prince, Kiro. He is so bright. Not only his face but also his personality. He is very populer among commoner as The Light of Loveland Kingdom.

"You will be a dead meat when you step out your feet with My Lady, don't you know?"

This serious face man is the first prince and Loveland Kingdom's crown prince, Gavin. He is a sword master and rumored as a cruel person. But actually he is kind and shy. People was misunderstood him because of his action and expression.

"You mean in the Duke hand or in your hand, your highness?"

"You're not allowed to talk here. If you need some friends to talk you can talk with the maids over there."

"How mean of you, your highness~"

And the last is Gavin attendant and his right hand man. Minor. I heard they are childhood friend. No wonder they are so close.

"So Miss Chips. How about my propose (date propose)?"

"Well, I should think about that again. I..."

BRAAAAKKK!!

Ah. It's a nightmare. Devil just come to this room. I can tell it from the sound of the door. RIP the door. May God bless you.

"Propose? I never hear a funny joke like this in my entire life."

Yes. That's my dad. The hellish duke. At your service.

"Ah, Duke Victor. It's not like what you think."

"Ho. You know what am I thinking? Let me hear then."

Minor, I apreciate your loyalty to your master but you should stop it right here. I don't want to see any bloodshet in front of my eyes.

"Don't be so furious, father in law. You make them scared."

This voice. Don't tell me.

"Who is your father in law?"

"Lucien? You're also here?"

"Yes, My Lady. How can I miss an interesting event like this, right?"

"Don't! Ignore! Me!"

Duke Victor is my dad. He is called as 'Hellish Duke from The North' by people in capital. Just one word from him and everyone will silent. But I think that not work sometime.

"Duke, your face have more wrinkles than usual. Look at me and give us more smile ^^"

"Asdfghjkl!!!!!"

Lucien is my dad co-worker. A young and brilliant nobel. Our family is a business partner since generations ago.

"How have you been this last days, My Lady? I miss you so much."

Chuuu~

My bad, I forgot to put the word 'sly' in Lucien introduction. No one dare to come close to me, not even mention kiss my palm except him.

"YOU!!!"

"Duke, this is a costume. I just pay my respect to My Lady. Or did you think anything else? ^^"

His sly face is beyond your imagination. You can't tell what Lucien is really thinking.

"Stop with your nonsense and release my daughter hand right now. You fox!"

"Hm. It's too bad that your scary dad is here. We can continue it when we're alone, right My Lady?"

"Errr. I think it will be difficult."

"My Lady, are you worried about me? It's okay. If he value his business then he shouldn't do anything to me. At least now."

"I regret sign a contract with someone like you."

"Fufu~ Like what I said before. If you terminate our contract then you should give your most beloved to me as a compensation. I hope you not forget about it."

"You fox. Don't come any closer to my daughter!"

"It's okay anyway. We can still be together even if you not terminate our contract. Right, father in law?"

"SAY THAT AGAIN IF YOU DARE!!"

Again. Lucien and my dad just play run and chase while using me as their wall. Are they still in kindergarten or what?

"Miss Chips! What did Lucien mean by that? Are you going to marry him? No waaay..."

Kiro, please. It will be a miracle if I can go out my mansion,.don't even mention anout marriage. I don't think I can marry in my entire life.

"Your highness are you okay? Hang in there bro! Gavin? Hello? Don't stand like that you make me scared."

Poor Minor. He is swaying his hand toward Gavin many times but it seem Gavin has lost in his own thought. At least Gavin not noisy like the other. But is he okay? He is standing like a rock for a while until now.

"How can you marry someone else. How about our promise when we are kid, Miss Chips?"

"Gavin? Bro? Breath! Don't die! Broooo!!"

"...."

"We can live together. 3 of us in my mansion. I will prepare the master room for you beside my room and My Lady so you won't be alone, Duke."

"I should sold my soul to demon instead to fallen angel like you."

Did everyone forget our purpose gathering here today? To be honest I'm hungry. I mean I need more than enough energy to play with these people.

"Anna. How is the preparation for lunch?"

"It's already finished. But My Lady, you should do something about them first."

"Like I ever success do that. Can anyone replace me and stand here? I'm done with this."

That was my daily life. A caged nobel lady who has super protective dad because I always surrounded by noisy handsome men.

Murmuring "Should I accept proposal from neighbooring prince we get last week?"

"NO WAY!!"

What? They can hear me? Did my voice come out? Sometimes these 4 people can be in harmony too, huh?

========================================

Omake

17 years ago, at the Duke Victor household.

"I want to marry daddy when I grow up!"

"Why you want to marry me?"

"Because daddy is so handsome, smart and rich!"

"Dummy. You can't marry your dad. If you grow up later you should look to someone worth like me. Although I guess you can't find a better man than me."

***

Present day, at the garden.

"My Lady, I heard you like someone who is handsome, smart and rich?"

"Where did you heard something like that, Lucien?"

"It just a coincidence. Although I'm from a marquessate household, actually I'm richer than you father. You know when your family in the blink of bankruptcy 10 years ago our family make an agreement that...."

Bonk.

"Ow. It's hurt. Who is that throwing book to someone else head?"

"LU-CI-EN!!"

"Oh, Duke. How are you? ^^"

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU FOX!"

THE DAY I CONFESS: October 17th, a day that i shall never forget.

Hi I am Jianye, second owner of this wonderful account created by my girlfriend Celeste! She’s just so great isn’t she?

October 17th was the day i decided to confess to Celeste. Prior to the 17th, Celeste and I had been close friends for the longest time and I have always thought that she was someone that was possible for me. Of course in my head, the thought of her ever liking me and even giving me a shot was something that I had never dared dream about. In my eyes, she was out of my league; a gorgeous girl with a great heart for God, a genuine love for people and a great sense of humour.

Prior to chasing her, i had my own silly downfalls, i liked her in 2020 but found myself unready to take the risk of jeopardising our friendship. I remember going to buy eye-cream for her because I saw on her ig story that she had an eye infection. In my heart, i was genuinely worried for her as a friend even though i liked her. And i remembered being so afraid below her block, waiting in my car, praying and praying asking if this is what God wanted me to do. Ok anyways share more on that another time. Eventually, I tried to take a break and just work on myself and along that road, I made certain mistakes and lost myself a little. But in all these bumps and falls, i managed to find God in a different light. I had encounters with God that I have never had and saw many victories in that span of time. I grew in areas i never knew i needed to grow in and God restored me.

Then one day in early June, Celeste texted me asking about whether i wanted to try out for a part time job with her company (ex kidding hahaha). Then in my head, I knew that if i took the job, i would spend more time with Celeste, and i might like her more again. I remember telling my good friend wilson, "what if i like her again bro". Some context to this, in 2020, when i tried to chase Cel, i was a noob and was unconfident and basically kinda failed and was a little sad. But somehow i knew that the job was God’s provision as well!

As i worked with Cel, talked to her more, and started texting her more often, i liked her more and more. I was just so happy to be even able to text her and know her more. Shall share more about our getting to know stage in another post...many funny stories there. I prayed daily asking God if this was His desire and whether i should surrender it to Him, but every step of the way from July to October, i found peace knowing God would make a way if its from Him. As i made small advances, like texting her more often, buying her grabfood, buying her liangcha when she was ill, God gave me more confidence to know i can trust Him.

In August, God gave me a date (18/10/21) and i remembered Him saying "this day will be significant for you and Celeste". In my head, i was skeptical for sure, i knew i liked her and i was worried it was my own thinking. On top of that, Caleb, one of my closest guy friends, told me it could mean that we don't work out.....hahaha but i chose to just trust God. I knew that if i didn't chase her and give it a shot, this would be something i regret for the rest of my life. I prayed, accounted and trusted that if the date is from Him, He would make a way. Yes i know by now you're thinking, isn't the day that i confessed the 17th? But funny enough the 18th was significant. Ok now let me talk about the 17th.

I had planned to bring her to the pasta bar for dinner but prior to that i knew i had to bring her elsewhere to chill as our dinner reservation was at 8.30pm. In my head, there were many different places that were nice and places i knew Cel likes (e.g. Park @ Nicoll Highway, MBS etc.) but i wanted to bring her to a new place and create for us a new memory if she took my confession well hahaha. Prayed and suddenly remembered a nice place that was opposite gardens by the bay! went for a recce 2 days before the 17th, found a nice spot and was set to bring her there :)

On top of that, a month before the 17th, i had already planned out a card and poem that i wanted to read to Cel. Yes i know cheesy hahaha but in my head these words really resonated with how i felt about her and i was so excited to read it to her, even if she would reject me HAHA. So i got the confession and place settled and i was left with the flowers!! I wanted to give her a nice chill bouquet of flowers that did not scream "I LIKE YOU" but one that gave her room to feel like she can say no. Of course, eventually i found out she did feel a little stress and scared on that day, because Celeste felt like she had to make a decision that day.

So to buy the flowers, i decided the buy her supermarkets flowers! Went to cold storage and shout to dana who deserves a lot of credit for helping both of us, best wingman!! but yes she helped to give me some inspiration picking out flowers. Wrapped them in a brown paper and gotta say i was really worried she didn't like them. I always had this theory that its "50% game, 50% chemistry" and even though i felt like we had good chemistry (maybe 40% in my head), i probably needed a good 40% of game haha. But prayed and just trusted that it will worked out!! and Cel did like the flowers in the end yay!

After settling the logs, i now have to ask her out. Honestly, i was really nervous. I thought about going over to her house to pass an invitation card but was worried i was overdoing it etc so i decided to send her a google invite. Ok honestly, i had my doubts about google invite, was thinking its either super lame or quite cute. I kept asking Cel if she used google calendars and Cel kept asking why hahaha but yeah in the end i did send her a google invite. I was initially going to call her and ask her if she was free on the 18th but after seeking some pro advice(dana), i texted her instead. I wanted it to be subtle but also intentional that i was going to confess to her. Guess it didn't really work out since she felt a little stress before that day. But i remember that i was on telegram for the longest time watching if she saw my message already, then seeing her type (Cel typed for.....kidding hahaha) and just waiting for her reply. When she agreed and we set a date to meet, i remember being so elated and on top of that so thankful for her and also for God.

Then came the 17th!! I woke up feeling anxious. I had plans to buy flowers, drinks and snacks for us to chill at the park, then just preparing the envelope for the card. We were meeting in the evening and i remember the day just flying by. I was excited but so nervous. The day that would change everything between Celeste and I. I remember praying so hard that it wouldn't rain since the park was outdoors but guess what HAHA it rained... ngl i was worried it wasn't from God. But as i prayed, God assured me that the rain will stop once i brought her there. I was really skeptical because the rain was still pouring when i was on the way to pick Cel up. I remember telling Cel that i may not be able to bring her to where i wanted to bring her (told her beforehand to wear something comfortable for outdoors :) ) I reached her house and i remember feeling multiple butterflies, moths in my stomach. I had texted Celeste that i was going to pick her at her door and i remember taking really big breaths walking up. I hid the flowers behind my back and I reached her door and when she opened her door, i was kinda stunned. She was dressed really well (in jeans but she looked really good hahahaha) and her face was glowing (Not exaggerating...i remember the glow). We chatted for abit and i was super nervous to pass her flowers for the first time, so i panicked and gave her the flowers when she was locking her door........rookie mistake....but THANK GOD, Cel liked the flowers :) My heart was honestly racing throughout from her house to the park. In the end, we went to the park anyway, with faith that the rain will stop and crazily, it kinda did! There was a little drizzling when we reached but over time, we found a nice spot and the rain stopped as well! Thank you Jesus.

We sat down under a sheltered spot, with my decathlon chairs, a nice icebox of china snacks and drinks (thanks rayner for the icebox). We chatted for awhile and it started to turn dark and i knew i had to confess soon. Celeste and I were just chatting away about the snacks and about different stuff and time flew by really quickly. Honestly, i didn't know how to transit to confessing her without it being funny or awkward. I remember saying "So....Celeste, i wrote you a card", and i kid you not my heart... I'm not sure how Celeste felt when i said that but i was so nervous. She unwrapped the envelope and card and i told her that i wrote her a poem. I had memorised the poem prior to meeting her and i read her the poem!! But being nervous, i forgot after two lines.... Cel had to give me hints of the first word of the next line hahahaaha thanks babe. So i read her the card and i remember her covering her face with the card. In my head i was thinking, is she shy or is she laughing at me HAHAHA kidding. I told her my intentions that she was someone that i wanted to pursue, chase and work towards a relationship with. I told Cel that she is important to me. That in anything, i wanted to prioritise not losing her as a friend in my life so if she felt like she didn't want to date me, it was alright. And after sharing my intentions with her, when Celeste said "Actually Jian Ye, i like you too", my heart stopped. I was a little loss for words. It was a mix of joy and disbelief, that she had liked me too. Girl of my dreams, and she said she liked me....

We talked and we share how we should move forward knowing both of us were in agreement of our feelings for one another. I told Celeste that I wanted to chase her and bring her out on more dates not just to know even more about her but also to win her!! I wanted her to feel special and be chased well. After talking for awhile, we realise we were late for our dinner reservation and we quickly took some pictures and ran off for our dinner at Pasta Bar.

Walking into Pasta bar, there was only one table left and that was ours. I had reserved prior and this seat was quite funny. It was table that was prepared with a candle light and was really romantic. But it was a little funny because i didn't mean for dinner to be so romantic since i wanted it to be chill for us. After the date, Celeste said that she felt awkward at the pasta bar hahahahahaha, but okay la after awhile it was alright and we talked about different things, life goals, ministry, missions, our callings and it was just so nice to be able to talk about all these things. I have always told my friends that the one quality i need from my partner is an understanding mature partner and Celeste is the best. She is understanding, kind, keen to listen and mature. Love you Celeste!! The company and the talk was great but honestly the food was average imo.. The pasta was nice but we ordered a seafood appetiser that was slightly meh. Overall i would say it wasn't super yummy imo.

After having lovely conversations, it was getting late and I sent Celeste back home. We said our byes, no hugs, just smiles and i remember walking to my car feeling so happy and privilege to be on this journey with Cel ❤️❤️❤️
