( haha😄😆 still coming at ya with cookie puns!🍪🍪 we'vehad espresso's gay panic, now it's madeleine's turn to truly face how he feels)
Madeleine;
Madeleine dashed home from espresso, through the street's of the kingdom he headed straight for his home. Without dearing to look back in his flustered state, he reached his front door and quickly shut it behind him...
"What! In the divine just happed?" He mumbled to himself... Still in shock from his encounter with espresso. As he began to pace the hallway between the door and living room, pondering everything .... ..
Why did I? His mind rambled as he walked in deep thought and confusion. He didn't know what espresso thought of him before, the two's interactions had been far and few between. And every time Madeleine was around espresso seemed to frown....
This made the Knight pause momentarily... a frown pressed on his own lips now.
Why I leave him just standing there? He questioned himself, if espresso had even tolerated Madeleine in any way before. It was all out the window now...
" what a idiot!" He scolded himself and headed into his cream coloured living room most of Madeleine's furniture were either white, cream or very light pastels. Some matched the golden blonde of his hair. Of course, all of his couch's and cushions we're also naturally soft. Much like the knights long hair, He even had a cozy, cream rocking chair to relax in and enjoy the warmth of his fireplace.
As of right now though, he just came and sat on his white fluffy rug that was layed out behind his couch and rocking chair. As you stepped in from the hallway you could see the fluffy white mat welcoming you into the space. He floped down into it and stared up at his ceiling.... he felt all hope was lost for his and espresso's friendship.
Was it even a friendship? He wondered to himself curiously. Madeline liked to think he was friends with every cookie in the kingdom. He was kind, gentle and always greated other's but it was different with espresso... as Madeleine thought about all their time's together. From going on quests to seeing each other in the kingdoms town... espresso always seemed displeased....
Madeleine looked down at his feet sadly now with a small sigh... did espresso truly hate him? He worried... tears slightly prickling in his eye's. Madeleine hated the thought of anyone would feel so negatively about him.. as his worry grew. His mind wondered deeper.. and the thoughts slowly started to swift slightly...
It just doesn't make sense.... he pondered now in deep thought with himself. Sure his friendships were important to him with all the other cookie's as well. But even thinking that espresso might not like the Knight seem to bring Madeleine to a whole new kind of low mood. He face fell, he was distance even from himself. And he could feel tears whelling as the thoughts got worse.... why did he care so much? Of course he cared for everyone but with espresso it felt different....
Thinking about it made Madeleine's stomach turn inside, he felt so warm inside as he thought about espresso...Madeleine grabbed his stomach in confusion. " why do I feel this way" He mumbled to himself, he had never felt this way about anyone. Course the Knight new about crushes and such but,,, he didn't even dare to wonder if these feelings towards Espresso we're romantic or not. They certainly weren't of angry or sadness. He just felt really light around the mage. Like walking on clouds....
Madeleine's head swam with thoughts.... he didn't know what to do or even how to feel. He just gave a sniffle and decided to reluctantly stand up from his comfortable rug..... at least he could fetch him some soothing tea to make him feel better he thought and maybe some jellies to go with it!
So, Madeleine wondered off into the kitchen to make his tea. Madeleine quite liked tea, though he only probably had one cup a day. He would try to enjoy a morning brew if he had the time. Which he often didn't really... so his tea drinking was quite cut down. But he still liked reaxling with a cup over his fireplace of the evening while he had his down time.
Poring the tea, he looked over where the tea bags we're jeep. Like most kitchens there was a small jar for each, tea, sugar and coffee.....madeleine's face blushed turning from the counter. Now even his own kitchen was reminding him....
After he finished making his tea, he decided to go sit his his rocking chair as he often did. Before he sat down though he got more comfortable by taking off his armour, he wore his amour everyday in the kindgom but in his own home he could just enjoy his casual clothes and pyjamas. Now in his long t and comfy bottoms he sat down with his cooling tea in hand. He rocked gently... as the thoughts from before still lingered...
Madeleine bit his lip slightly, he was too afraid to face his own thoughts but being all alone from a change he couldn't really escape them either. Espresso.. he whisperd in his mind. ...
Perhaps this feeling... he finally dared to think as he rocked. Was one of.... love?
