He grabbed a mug, pouring coffee immediately into it. His lips pressed against the warm cup, sipping slowly. “I shall watch you then. If you need help, I am right here. I wish to see how you make it.”

    “ If you’re sure… ” Though unsure, Vanessa slowly began raiding the fridge, pulling out the eggs, butter, and some cheese before heading to the cupboards and pulling out the remaining ingredients. turning on the gas, it took her a few minutes to actually get the gas to light, fiddling with the switches until she was sure it was at the right temperature. “ Hm… Am I missing anything that you can see, Theo. . ? ”

Theo began to chuckle, eyes gazing at her struggles. It was all quite funny. The way she fumbled with the stove and everything else. In his mind, he found it charming, cute even. It made him crack a sly smile as he shook his head in response to her, “Princess, I wish to see how you will make it. I will only assist with heavy or tall items.”

     He paused, just staring. He bit his lower lip, observing her in all her glory. He questioned her motives, wondering if her safety was worth a simple meal, in which he could’ve done easily. Either way, he grabbed the pan for her, handing it immediately. “Here, Princess– Do as you wish. I am now your assistant.”

    ” Wait, you’re my assistant..? ” she thought about that for a moment, pondering over the thought of him being her assistant for once, instead of it being the other way around. “ I suppose… If I do something wrong, you’ll help me, right? I just want to try to make you an omelette… Something simple, but nice… ”

    “ Ah, Theo– ” Vanessa was taken slightly by surprise at his sudden appearance of her love, but didn’t object to the contact between the pair as he removed her from atop the chair. “ I’ll be okay, I’m sure! ” she gave a quiet laugh, looking up at him with a smile. “ I just wanted to get the pan from the top shelf, so I could make you something for when you got home. ”

     He paused, just staring. He bit his lower lip, observing her in all her glory. He questioned her motives, wondering if her safety was worth a simple meal, in which he could’ve done easily. Either way, he grabbed the pan for her, handing it immediately. “Here, Princess-- Do as you wish. I am now your assistant.”

Cue him arriving home to her standing up on a chair attempting, and failing to reach the top shelf- Honestly she's stretching so high that she's probably about to fall.

        His eyes widened to the sight of Vanessa attempting to reach something. Her small height left little opening to acquire such things. His lengthy appendages wrapped around her waist, clenching as he picked her up and immediately put her back on the ground. “Princess-- let me get it for you,” His voice was soft, “I do not wish for you to get hurt.”

Noé in the city of flowers

[perceptivemaiden]

    Completely unaware of the fact that the other was watching her Vanessa continued walking, approaching the nearest flowerbed, leaning in to lightly touch the petals of one small, red flower. “ You’re certainly not wrong there. They smell divine- And look absolutely stunning, too. ”

    Turning back to glance at Theodore, she nodded, smiling softly at the other, beckoning him to approach, too. “ They most definitely did take good care of the plants. Nurturing them and caring for them so much- So they could become like this… It’s Beautiful. ” 

[noblebrit-blog]

      Theodore followed her command. He would kneel down to admire the flowers with her by his side. Optics peered at the beauty of each flower. As they were all different. Some were much larger, while others appeared weak. But they all had an aura of beauty surrounding them. Maybe because she was there.

      “It is quite beautiful...” He retained from letting out a sigh, for if anyone heard him, they would surely report him. Even if he was a servant, he had human emotions-- those that the royal family refused to let them reveal. “Princess, should we get going? Your parents need you at dinner fairly soon.”

[perceptivemaiden]

    Thin arms gripped the other zodiac, holding him closer in a desperate attempt to keep him at her side. He said they could be like this- side by side- forever… She really did hope it could be so. “ I’m glad too. I hate not being at your side. ”

    Finally speaking her mind, inner feelings being let out, Vanessa felt a wave of exhaustion hit her, releasing him from her grasp and taking her seat once more. For once she actually spoke her mind fully- and it felt great. A murmured ‘i’m sorry’ could be heard and she looked up at him, smiling softly.

    “ That was– Sudden. I apologize- but… It’s the truth. I would love nothing more than to be by your side, Theo… ”

[noblebrit-blog]

      The bull rested his head upon hers, making sure they’re as close as humanly possible, but still making sure it was comfortable for both. As he listened to her words, he went quiet for awhile. Thinking. Always thinking. There was never a time when Taurus was not thinking to the point of a headache. Especially if it came to his feelings.

      As silence filled the room, only the sound of their breathing, he adjusted himself to give them some distance. His large hands grabbed onto hers, his thumbs brushing along the back of her hands. Calloused fingers would awkwardly try to interlock perfectly. Which they did. It somehow made his expression of worry turn into a smile.

      “Princess-- I am sort of glad at this moment in time.” Gesturing to their hands, “We fit.” 

[perceptivemaiden]

    Making their way quickly through the halls, the princess glanced back to the other and nodded. “ They certainly would. Though- I’m sure that would invoke punishment of some sort- probably just being stuck in there alone for a while. ” She would hate that, really. To be stuck unable to see Theodore. . That was a personal hell, in her opinion.

    “ I’m sure they are- it’s the right season for it, after all. ” Heading outside with him, the sun beating down upon them, she quickly took in the sight of what was presented immediately before them. Petals littered with morning dew certainly provided a beautiful sight upon exiting the building. “ See- You were correct. It’s definitely beautiful. ”

[noblebrit-blog]

        Stuck alone? If she were to misbehave, they might still allow her to only see him. The King and Queen only thought of their relationship as servant and royal. Never as friends. Well, if the Princess were asked about their relationship, she might say the same thing. Just a lowly servant. “That would surely not be a pleasant time for you, Princess--”

        Her smile captivated him. With this, when hearing her say the world beautiful, he got distracted by her own beauty. And without even a single thought, “The sight sure is gorgeous...” Before she could catch wind of his eyes plastered on her visage, he avoided hastily by gesturing to all the various types of flowers and plants. “The smell is quite fresh. The gardeners have been tending to this surely well.”

[perceptivemaiden]

    She was glad, Oh so glad, that he had just said that. The love of her life reaffirming that he did indeed love her too. Glancing up, dark optics met his and Vanessa raised one hand up to ruffle his hair slightly, finding herself to be smiling at his words. “ And I mean it too- I have- I mean I have loved you for a while. ”

    Giving a small sigh, soothed by the thumb brushing against her skin, the girl nodded. “ I want to– I would love to… ”

    “ I want to stay like this- with you- forever. ” It was funny, actually- a part of her felt like crying from happiness, but she held back the tears- He couldn’t see that sight again. “ Thank you, so much– For everything. I wouldn’t be here at all without you. ”

[noblebrit-blog]

       A low sigh, one more of content than exhaustion. As she muttered all those words, he would use his large palm to lightly bring her head close to his own. Once near, his lips left a light peck upon the side of her head. Thick digits would gently brush her hair, while his others swept back and forth upon her forearm.

      “I’m glad, Princess--” Theo was beyond ecstatic. His mind and heart were both jumping for joy, yet... he probably was thinking too much for his own good.

        “We can stay like this forever. If you truly desire, Princess. You and I upon this couch. Together.” Sounds like a fairytale he wished to be apart of.  But he did not want her to get hurt, or even himself to feel the pain of another abandonment. 

[perceptivemaiden]

    A small hand was placed in his as the noble stood, looking up and giving him a small nod. She certainly would behave as such- It wouldn’t be right to disrespect her parents or their guests, after all. “ They do have to make sure. Who knows- Perhaps one day I would decide that enough is enough and that I should do as I wish for a change. ”

    A laugh followed, and the girl pulled the other from the room quickly. “ It looks lovely outside- So that sounds nice. A walk in the garden for now sounds great. ”

[noblebrit-blog]

      Hearing her laugh made his heart skip a beat. Because no matter what followed, he’d stand by her even through hell. The larger man followed the Princess closely behind, letting himself basically get dragged by her. “Your parents would surely get a giggle out of you trying to misbehave.”

      “Outside is quite beautiful, Princess. Hopefully the garden will be to your liking. The flowers are blooming very nicely.” Nothing was as beautiful as she was. 

[perceptivemaiden]

    Friendship was fragile, was something she had come to know, and believe in wholeheartedly. And as someone who didn’t get close to any, she honestly lived by such a fact; One wrong move and those ties could be severed, bonds could be cut. She didn’t want that- Not from him. She couldn’t lose him.

    Being pulled closer Vanessa stayed silently beside him, his words causing a small smile to appear, slightly saddened simply by the turn her thoughts had taken. She was well aware that he meant what he said- Theodore was truthful, he wasn’t going to just suddenly leave. Arms wrapping around him in response, Vanessa leaned her forehead against him, murmuring under her breath, Thoughts finally being said.

    “ I wish. . We could stay like this, forever. Holding onto each other– forever. ”

[noblebrit-blog]

       “When I told you I loved you-- I meant it.” Gently gripped her arm yet again, clinging onto her, he would feel his words hurt himself. Because although she feared him leaving, the bull felt the same in regards to her. If he scared her away, or perhaps like his mother, just to disappear without a trace. He was not strong enough to have her vanish from his life as well.

      Tauruses are known for their stubborn personality, and Theo was as stubborn as they came. Because he still blamed himself for all the harshness in the world. Caring the weight of the world. And now carrying all her burdens upon himself, even still holding onto his own. He was too stubborn to admit otherwise. That maybe nothing was truly his doing. 

      His thumb brushed back and forth on her forearm, “We can stay like this forever... If you wish.”

[perceptivemaiden]

    A knock on the door, and the small girl immediately stood from her place sitting on the edge of her bed, a book placed down where she was last sitting as eyes locked onto the other who entered. Her closest friend, the one she would tell anything to in a heartbeat, stood there as she had expected, polite and prompt as usual. His presence was something she enjoyed- A thrill in what she found to be an otherwise rather boring existence. At least she had one friend she could rely on in this place.

    “ I will. In fact I am available now- If you wish to take a walk prior to it, Theo. If you’re not busy it would be appreciated. ”

[noblebrit-blog]

       “Princess, you know I am obligated to accompany you any where you go. In this instance, as in many, I am honored and will happily take a walk with you.”

      “Your parents have requested you to be on your ‘best behavior,’ but they are fully aware you never act up. It’s always a precaution of the royal family, sadly.” His hand outstretched for hers, waiting to help her up and to make sure stairs were not too much for her. His job was to tend to her every need. And if he were to mess up, resulting in the Princess’ well-being, he would surely be punished. “Do you wish to go to the garden?”

[perceptivemaiden]

    Dark eyes met with his for a moment, listening in silence as he spoke, before the girl nodded. Vanessa understood that- it was something that he had said before, but it still meant the world to her. To know that someone would wish to stay with her- with someone who had been abandoned by all those she had known in the past- was a real confidence boost and something she was so happy about.

    Yet at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel… conflicted. Just being beside him wasn’t enough any more- she wanted a connection that only he could say he had to her, Something more than just ‘friends’ but… What if he didn’t want that? He had said the words but what if it was just in the spur of the moment? It didn’t sound like something he would do but the idea of it being so frightened her.

    “ I know you are- And I know you will be, but… ” Vanessa hated voicing her insecurities, but it felt necessary here. “ Everyone else left, ” she muttered, quietly under her breath. “ I’m scared you will too. ”

[noblebrit-blog]

          Her life story was always a somber one. Made him felt somehow guilty. As if the responsibility to protect her as been there since the beginning of time. Maybe if his past life somehow demonstrated that notion, but even then, he did not know much from his other times of breathing. He had lived for so long in his current state that it no longer mattered. All that mattered now was her.

          His long appendage tugged her closer to his body, making sure there was very little room between them. If only he could somehow articulate what was really in his heart and mind. That he adored her more than anything and anyone else on this Earth. That even the galaxy couldn’t compare to what he had for her. Crazy. But for now, he must just be there as a friend. Protecting her.

          “I can promise, Princess-- I will never leave you.” Digits gripped lightly into her flesh, as if he could not lose her either. Holding onto something precious not to screw it up again. “I’m always here for you, Princess. Always.” 

[noblebrit-blog]

      “Princess-- Are you occupied?” A gentle knock upon the wooden door, gloved hand gripping the handle to open it. There in all her glory was the Princess of their quaint kingdom. Vanessa. Next in line to the Queen, since their King has died long before her parents were able to have any siblings for the young royalty. The age difference was not by much. She was about seventeen and he was nineteen, been with them since birth, aiding the family. And he had the privilege of being assigned to her, his best friend and boss(in a way). 

      “Princess Vanessa, they are expecting you to be ready in a hour. Will you be?”

[perceptivemaiden]

    Thoughts whirred in the small girls head as she sat alongside Theodore, recent events still stirring up a little confusion whenever she thought about them. His whispers still fresh in her mind- a small, quiet ‘I love you’ rung out whenever those events would replay, casting itself over the rest of it all. A happy memory, to block out all of the pain that was inflicted physically on her, and on him mentally, she assumed.

    Glancing to the other, Vanessa couldn’t help but smile softly. Such an amazing person, staying right there beside her- a friend perhaps, but in her mind, something more. He was special in that way nobody else was to her- someone she could love with no doubts or protests arising in her mind. Nothing was saying that she couldn’t love him, but the question of whether his love was the same as hers- That still bugged her.

    “ Hey, Theo? ” she spoke softly, wearily, and her smile faltered momentarily. “ I. . wanted to thank you again- For everything you’ve done for me. Thank you for being by my side- Protecting me for so long. ”

[noblebrit-blog]

       The bull had a pleasant-peaceful expression upon his face. One of calmness, which he needed from recent events, but she needed it way more than he ever could. Theodore adjusted himself, making his now fallen-asleep leg onto the ground next to his other. They had been next to each other for so long, to the point of just sitting without even moving an inch. 

      Listening intently to her words, he would contemplate what to say. For he did not see a thanks was needed. He’d do everything in his power to protect her, a thanks was never necessary. Taurus was never one to seek a kind word in response. He just always sought to do good. But it was comforting to know she did appreciate him.

      “Princess-- you know I am always here for you. To my very last breath, I shall be there for you.” It was these moments he wished he could admit his feelings, but every time he thought back on it, it seemed as if they were just friends. Why ruin that?
