(Y/n)'s POV.
After that whole embarrassing delema, we eventually bumped into Lancer standing next to a sign that said:
ᕼEY, ᗪOᑎ'T ᖇEᗩᗪ TᕼIS SIGᑎ! IT'S ᗩ ᗯOᖇK Iᑎ ᑭᖇOGᖇESS!
- ᒪᗩᑎᑕEᖇ
The young darkener seemed lost in his thoughts, so we gave each other a look, agreeing not to disturb him. We planned on continuing on our way when Lancer seemed to have snapped out of his thoughts just in time to see us walking away. "Hey, aren't you guys gonna even say hi!?" We didn't know what to answer to that, so Ralsei hesitantly went: "Um, no? You seemed like you didn't--" He tried to explain but was caught off by the small spade. "Wow, rude! Enjoy being thrashed by various guys." He laughed. I turned to him and crossed my arms over my chest, slightly leaning on one leg while raising an eyebrow. "If we say hi, will your troops NOT thrash us?" I asked sarcastically, knowing full well that all four of us knew the answer.
Ralsei elbowed me in the side, warning me not to take it too far. Sometimes he gets quite annoyed by my sarcasm. And this young goat rarely showed his annoyance about anything, so that meant something. Anyway, Lancer didn't seem to pick up on my sarcasm bacause he gave an answer nonetheless. "Oh (Y/n), (Y/n), (Y/n). The thrashing is what makes our relationship work." Lancer said before giving a small wink. "WHAT RELATIONSHIP!?" The two boys from either side of me questioned. Ralsei being way more louder and more upset than Kris but still.
To be honest, I couldn't tell if Lancer was flirting or not, he probably didn't know that himself. He was 9 years old after all. Without another word said, I grabbed Kris and Ralsei by their arms and dragged them away, getting a confused look from Lancer.
After we were out of Lancer's hearing distance, Ralsei stopped me. "What was he thinking, trying to imply something like that. There is no relationship between the two of you. That would be just weird!" I rolled my eyes at him. The prince was overreacting a bit. But honestly, who can blame him? The two of us were like siblings, so he sometimes showed a protective side towards me, even though he was younger than me.
"Ralsei, relax. That kid is 9 years old. He probably didn't even realize what his words could mean." I eventually got Ralsei let this this go, finally.
After a bit of walking, we came across a single three, growing a bit apart from the others. Next to it was a sign from Lancer. I stepped closer and read it out loud.
TᕼESE TYᑭES Oᖴ TᖇEES ᗪOᑎ'T ᑕOᑎTᗩIᑎ ᗩᑎ ITEᗰ TᕼᗩT ᑕᗩᑎ ᕼEᗩᒪ YOᑌ. ᗯᕼᗩTEᐯEᖇ YOᑌ ᗪO, ᗪOᑎ'T ᑕᕼEᑕK TᕼE TᕼᖇEE! YOᑌ GOT IT!?

Kris came closer to me, peaking over my shoulder at the messy written note. "Wow, that kid has to work on his lying skills..." "I know right?" Then, I wanted to turn around again but stopped in my tracks. Up until now, I hadn't realized how close Kris and I actually were. Our chests were practically touching. I had to look up since he was a foot our two taller than me. Our faces were so close that I could feel his breath on my cheek, so I bet he could feel mine on his. He was practically looming over my frame. My breath hitched and I could tell that Kris was quite startled himself. 'He's so close!' That sentence repeated itself in my mind like on a loop.
But... Even if we literally just met each other, being this close to him was... kind of nice... Even without directly touching him, I could feel the warmth his body gave off. He spread a calm and quiet aura and it set my racing mind at ease. "K-Kris...?" I managed to stutter out. "(Y/n).... Doll... I--"
"Guys! Look! Look up there!
Both of our trances were interrupted by Ralsei's excited voice. It seemed that he didn't even realize what was going on between Kris and I. The two of us basically jumped a meter away from each other, my face probably a deep red and unlike Kris, I didn't have bangs like him to cover it up. And my light skin didn't help at all. "I-Uh... W-What is it Ralsei?" The prince pointed upwards, into the tree. "There are some dark candy's up there! They have healing abilities! Maybe they'll be useful to us! Huh, (Y/n)? Are you ok? Your face is red again." He asked in concern but once again reassured him that it was fine. Mostly because I didn't want to repeat what had happened earlier.
