“He’s a ginger, too!” Hope sang happily.

“He’s smoking hot...if you know what I mean,”Lily whispered, her voice filled with affection.

“You thought we wouldn’t come out after you embarrassed yourself three times. In your dreams Makoto. Good Morning.”Lexi laughed.

Yes, this is punishment. I need to question the Starlight gods one day.

“Well, I hope that one day is a very long time from now. I want to be able to have some time with the Princess before then.” He smirked before bowing deeply towards me.

“Kai Akiyama. Future heir of Realm Four, Phentailia. It’s an honour to finally meet you. I’ve heard many positive things from the others, one being your little talking out loud situation,” he introduced, rising to face my open mouth, blushed expression.

“Mako and no more bowing!” I ordered, pointing at him. He raised his eyebrow at me in amusement.

“You don’t like when people bow?” he questioned.

“It’s unnecessary,” I countered.

“Wait till you get to—” he began before I groaned.

“I shall ban it! Dammit, where’s Elias! He said I could ban it!” I began to search for the blonde, frowning at his missing presence.

A pair of arms wrapped around my waist, the smell of mint made me smile as I looked up to the green-eyed boy.

“Look who’s so hyper this morning. I guess you’re excited to finally meet Kai? Or are you happy to see me?” He gave me a lazy smile, his blonde hair, ruffled messily. He must have just woken up.

“Can’t I choose both...wait I mean. Hmmm, is there a third option?” I inquired, not wanting to admit to either option even though I’d just done so.

“Third option. Hmm.” He thought for a moment before he placed his hands on my arms, rotating me to face him. He then embraced me in a tight hug.

“Sorry, Makoto for not telling you about Eli. Do you forgive your fairy, star knight? I’ll make you blueberry pancakes,” he apologized before offering to create my favourite dish.

“You would have made blueberry pancakes anyways,” I noted, my voice muffled in his black t-shirt.

“I can add a triple chocolate sundae to the deal,” he whispered.

“Hmm.”

“With cherries, chocolate syrup and whip cream,” he continued.

“Tempting.”

“I’ll kiss you,” he whispered into my ear.

I smiled up at him. “Deal!” I laughed before he leaned down and kissed me.

“He could have just offered to kiss her in the first place,” Marcus mumbled.

“Smooth. Daniel, you should take notes,” Ryder suggested.

“I don’t have that level of charm,” Daniel whispered back.

I pulled away to laugh. “I can hear all of you,” I reminded, looking over my shoulder.

They all blushed, shrugging it off like it was nothing; their expressions gave it away.

“Now that the Princess is up, we should celebrate with some breakfast. I don’t need to predict the fact that Mako here is starving to point of fainting,” Kai pointed out.

“Huh, how’d you know I was hungry?” I questioned, pulling out of Elias’ embrace to face him again.
