Michele stepped back to give him room to stand, but the boy grabbed onto his hand and held on tight. Michele looked down and found those baby blues still watching him, a smile making them sparkle.
He heaved a heavy sigh and resigned himself to his fate. Holding hands with his soulmate, who only Michele knew was his soulmate, Michele tugged the smaller boy toward the castle entrance.
The timer dinged, and the five that were in the air castle slid down, before Prince JJ, Ni, Michele and little Emil climbed in. For the next ten minutes, Michele had to put up with a small blond bouncing all around him, chanting a little ditty he made up.
“Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Let me be a big brave knight,
To protect my soulmate with all my might.”
