Like A Princess || Closed
❛well, if kyo knew how to get dressed in
under an hour, we wouldn’t be having this problem. ❜
they would clamber the ends of the
earth for her, even if only promised
her smile in exchange.
they would offer all that they owned, if
it meant she would live in luxury.
& they would go to a school formal dinner,
if it meant she would find pleasure in
adjusting his tie.
his gaze, once transfixed on the silhouette
of the cat, struggling and wrestling with
suit jackets behind a closed door,
moved downward to the pair of hands
brightly straightening his jacket.
brightly smiling,
and brightly humming.
then, much like the sun warming
over winter’s face, the beginnings of
a smile drew over his cheeks.
❛ one of these days, miss honda, you really will
have to teach me how to do this myself. ❜
a brief gesture towards his tie,
so that his hand could rest atop hers.
❛ maybe by then, i could try my hand
at tying your bows.
but, until you do —— no laughing. ❜
ah yes, & the sun had risen.
