Lucius POV

"Your punishment is you have to go a date with me" she said with playful glint in her eyes.

"That can't be considered as punishment" I told her. she sat near me.

"It is if it's with me" she said.

I just frowned I didn't like her devaluing herself like that. I pulled her and made her sit on my lap.

She seemed a bit hesitant but she simpered as she sat on my lap. Cute~

"I would love to go on a date with you so it can't be considered a punishment. I will not allow it. Think of another punishment okay~" I told her while having my chin on her shoulders.

I was practically whispering into her ear. I could see her ears turning pink up close. She was quite for a while I was basking in the warmth her body emitted.

"So~ you will still go on a date with me?" she asked in a tiny voice which sounded uncertain

"Yes would you do me the honor of accompanying me?" I asked her.

"Flirt" she muttered while chuckling. She turned and said "I will" rubbing her nose on me.

She stood up as I loosened my hold on her.

"Ah~ I'm hungry" she said as she made her way kitchen which was attached to dining hall.

I followed her and saw her rummaging through the cupboards as she took some instant noodle packs.

I didn't know that we even had that.

She then turned with a devilish grin and eyes that were planning something.

I just smiled back her.

"Ramyeon meokgo gallae"

which I didn't understand as I stood there with a puzzled look on my face. she just bursted out into laughter.

I just smiled fondly at this rare sight in front of me.

"I can't believe I actually asked someone that" she said as she wiped her tears.

She then got back to cooking the noodle while I just stared at her.

She transferred them to a plate leaving some in a cup. She just placed the cup in front of me as she started eating hers.

I was touched by this small gesture.

I looked at her as she ate this was the first time I have seen her eating this much.

I walked her up to her room but was reluctant to part with her. it seems that she sensed this.

She took my hands into her own as she brought them up to her lips as she gently kissed my knuckles.

"We will have our date this weekend then. Good night" she said with a grin.

I nodded "Good night" I said I went in my room. I took a shower and sat on my bed staring at my knuckles.

The same hands that killed and wounded others to think she kissed them oh so gentle I bitterly chuckled as I slept.

Brooke POV

Fuck this shit. I actually sat on his lap! and kissed his knuckles I internally screamed as I rolled around my bed hugging my carrot plushie.

"Wait... I said we would have our date this weekend"
"Aaaand today is?" I checked my phone.

~ Thursday~

That means tomorrow is Friday and I only have one day to prepare for this date.
Ahhhhh~ I gripping my hair in frustration as I texted marshal.

Motherhen Marshal:

"Code red I repeat it's is code red"

What have you done now? And which police station? He replied

"Why do always assume the worst of me and no I am not in a police station.......Its worse.
I asked Lucius on a date. he said yes"

~typing~

"What! Wait Wait Wait I know you guys have known each other for two months now but the cold prince said yes to a date with you. No offense by the way"

"Non taken. So will you accompany me to the mall tomorrow~"

"Of course I will. And you owe me one" he replied.

I lie flat on bed. Hugging my plushie I dreaded what was to happen on the date as I fell asleep.

Lucius POV

I woke up early today and decided to go to the gym. I looked at the clock 8:00am.

I should go wake her up. My lover
I smiled as I drank the water and left.

She definitely won't be awake. Maybe I could surprise her somehow. Wait! Am I being like those cringy boyfriends in those dramas that dad watches.

I entered the dinning room to see that Brooke was awake.

Has the sun risen on the west? I thought as I went near her.

She was drinking her coffee while having her earphones on. I saw what she was looking at.

"Top 10 dating stops for lovers".

I snickered. She really is cute.

I kissed cheek as I leaned on her with one hand on the table and the other on her chair.

"I would okay with any place as long as it's with you so don't worry your pretty little head about the details" I told her huskily.

"I-Its n-not like I'm worried. Pfffttt-" she said as she scratched her ear. "Okay then~" I whispered in her ear planting a kiss there as I went to change.

I came back to see that she was eating. I sat on my seat.

"You don't have to wait for me after school or at the company. I will be staying at marshal's house tonight" she said as she nibbled on her bread.

WHAT! I gripped on my fork

"Why" I said in a dominate voice.

We became lovers just yesterday and now she's going to stay the night at another man's house!? Not on my watch.

"I promised to stay at his house once a week so...." She replied.

"So you're are going to spend a night at another mans place when you have a boyfriend huh?" I said mockingly.

I didn't mean to say it that way but my possessiveness took over. She glared at me.

What? You're the one at fault.

I saw her take a deep sigh as she got up and started walking towards me.

She turned my chair to her direction while I was still seated in it.

She placed one hand on the hand rest and the other near my neck. Is she angry? I couldn't tell her glance was downcast.

"You can be jealous of anyone but not marshal okay? Marshal is basically...the only family I have. And I had promised his mother that I would visit her every week ever since that incident. so I do need to go but I promise you that we are just brothers from different mothers okay?" she looked at me.

Her clear eyes loomed with sadness in them which I couldn't say no to.

"Fine. But you to attend my calls when I call you within the third ring" I said leaving no room for any arguments.

"Sir yes sir. I will not disappoint. A promise is a promise" she said saluting with a beaming smile.

As I thought she does look better with a smile.
