I just randomly remembered this au
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jerry: Stop following me you jerk!! *stops in front of the kitchen*
Max: *stops a few feet away from him* My apologies sir, but why am I being a Jerk?
Jerry: *groans* Stop calling me Sir!! *whines* I hate formal shit! And you're being a Jerk for just- just- just because! *turns away huffing*
Max: *raises an eyebrow* I'm sorry. It's my sworn duty to protect and guard you.
Jerry: *huffs* Fine! *walks off towards his room*
Max: *follows after him*
Jerry: *stops in front of his room and turns to him* Stay!
Max: *stops*
Jerry: *pats his head* Good boy. *walks in and slams the door*
Max: *tilts his head a bit* Strange Man.

~ At Night ~
Jerry: *trying to climb out the window* Okay, careful- careful-
Max: *behind him* You're going to hurt yourself.
Jerry: *yelps and falls out*
Max: *grabs onto him immediately and pulls him back in*
Jerry: *clutching onto him before realizing and slaps him in the face*
Max: *holds his face, looking at him*
Jerry: Don't you ever do that again!! I could've died!! *gets off him*
Max: *gets up as well* My apologies, that was carelessness on my part.
Jerry: *huffs* Whatever! What are you even doing in my room?!
Max: Why were you trying to climb out the window?!
Jerry: I asked you first!
Max: It was your snack time. *points to the tray by his open door*
Jerry: *blushes a bit and goes over to it* ... is-
Max: Yes, it's cake.
Jerry: *bites his bottom lip and opens up the lid* Thank you.
Max: You're welcome, now. May you please answer my question?
Jerry: *sighs, grabbing the cake slice and digging into it with a fork* I wanted to go out. My stupid parents are too over protective and I haven't been to the tavern in days! I wanna go to the Tavern!!
Max: *raises an eyebrow* It's unsanitary and too violent. Why would you wanna go to a Tavern?
Jerry: I told you! I haven't visited in awhile! It's been two months!
Max: *sighs* But-
Jerry: I got it! *eats his cake* You'll take me to the cavern! *covered his mouth while he talked.
Max: *bows* I will do what makes you happy, but I do advise that we don't go out tonight.
Jerry: *whines* I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go!!!
Max: *bites his lip and sighs softly* Alright.
Jerry: *finishes his cake* I win!

Jerry hopped from the carriage, ignoring Max's hand that was waiting to help him off. "Why are we here?" Max asked and Jerry scoffed at him. "For drinks of course! I'm a prince after all!" Just then Jerry took off his tiara and placed it inside a satchel that he had. "My liege, why did you-" Jerry blew a raspberry at him. "You talk to much and ask to many questions!" He threw up his hand, making his hand "talk", indicating him. "Now, let's go drink!" He opened the Tavern doors and immediately was rewarded with cheers. "Aye!! It's Jerry! How are you?!" One man spoke and held out his Ale. Jerry smiled and blew a kiss his way, "I've been managing!" Max followed after him, wary of everyone around him. "We haven't seen you in months! We figured you got sick of the sweet nectar!" Another man spoke and Jerry huffed out a laugh. "As if! I had to make sure my Daddy wouldn't catch on to what I was doing" They laughed and Jerry slid into a booth, Max sitting across from him. "You know all these people?" Jerry shook his head smiling. "Of course not, I barely remember everyone's name, but I'm quite popular here" Max raised his eyebrow, "Popular how?" His eyes widen. "I-if you don't mind me asking of course" Jerry grinned at him and held up his hand. Max watched a bit confused until Jerry opened his mouth and started moving his hand up and down. Max felt his face heat up and grabbed at his hand, "please, don't do that and- I-I'm sorry for grabbing you!" He let go immediately and set his arms to the side.
"I'm starting to like you, if you weren't my bodyguard, that is. Sadly you are, so whatcha gonna do?" At that moment a bartender came up and dropped two Ale cups in front of them. "Enjoy" she gruffly answered, giving a small glare to Jerry and stomping back. Max watched her leave before turning to Jerry, who was already chugging down the drink. "What was that about? Do you have enemies?" His hand went to the dagger in his pocket. Jerry giggled, "Welll, yes and no. That's Athena, she hates me because I slept with her husband" Max's eyes widen. "You committed sin?!" He whispered harshly. Jerry stopped drinking from the cup and looked at him. "What? Oh no. I meant- he uh- he came onto me and raped me!" Jerry looked at Max with fear written all over his face. Max squinted his eyes at him, making Jerry burst out laughing. "Fine! You caught me. I did commit adultery" He stuck his tongue out at him, making Max splutter. "Who are you??!" He questioned and Jerry grinned. This was not the prince that he met in the castle, the snobby, well-mannered, stubborn prince! He was still snobby and stubborn, but his manners would make even the queen leave the room.
"I'm Jerry Haylel! And I practically lead a double life" He drank the last of his Ale. "Now, the reason I have you here" He propped his chin up against his hands. "You're gonna keep my little secret, aren't cha? If my secret got out, it could damage the kingdom. I would be put to shame, sold off to some country and well, y'know. Probably be raped to death or something" Max shuddered at the thought. "You will keep it. Won't you?" Max watched him intently, the sickening sweet smile on his face and his burning green eyes, finally Max said, "Of course, your highness. I wouldn't dream of telling anyone" Jerry grinned and clapped his hands softly. "Goody! Now shoo" Max looked at him. "What?" Jerry made a shooing motion. "Go wait for me outside" Max shook his head. "With all due respect, I'm not going anywhere. I was ordered to protect you 24/7, I'm not leaving your side" Jerry shrugged. "Okay, but that'll make the sex more awkward"
Max choked on his saliva. "What?!" He practically shouted. Suddenly a man showed up, drinking the last bit of ale, "What's the hold up? I asked for ya awhile ago and you're still blabbing to your friend" Jerry got up. "Sorry! He doesn't wanna leave my side, cute isn't it?" He linked arms with the man and Max abruptly got up. "Get your hands off him" He took out his dagger. The man tsked and pushed Jerry off him, making Jerry huff. "Max! I told you-" Max stopped him. "If you don't want this little secret of yours to get out, I expect you to follow rules of my own" Jerry looked at him and squinted his eyes. "What kind of rules?" Max grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the Tavern. "No more of this" Jerry gasped. "No! What?! I just got here! You're ruining my fun!" Max pushed him into the carriage. "You can have fun at home! No more of this Tavern, No more- sleeping around!" Jerry crossed his arms at him. "You suck"
Max huffed a bit. He couldn't believe he talked back to the prince, but he had every right to do so, at least. That's what he told himself. "Now, rule number 3, you start treating me with more respect"
