..Yet another bright day in the Hollyberry Kingdom. Everyone was wandering the markets, purchasing as many fruits as they possibly could before they would go out of season. People were also crowded around the docks, awaiting their loved ones' arrival's.

As of right now, the entirety of the Raspberry family are on vacation. They wanted to visit the Vanilla Kingdom, since they heard that quite a few of their friends and family had resided there.
..But, one person had been excluded, per usual.
Raspberry Mousse, the eldest son of the family bloodline.
He was practically never included on missions or vacations for the holidays, unless they were visiting his own family.
Mousse had been raised in a technical extended family bloodline. His father’s were always in another kingdom, so he never got to visit them.

..Plus, all 3 of his cousins were busy 24/7. Raspberry was always on some mission or out visiting a nearby kingdom to see some friends, Wildberry was always on the clock defending the queen- and the youngest..Well- She bites and Mousse is terrified of her.
He sighed, continuing to clean the kitchen up a bit.

The good thing is, he was never left with a mess to clean. Typically, said messes were caused by his terrible cooking skills sometimes..
Even when there wasn’t a mess, he enjoyed cleaning the house up a bit for the family to return to.

After a few hours of mostly cleaning or sitting around with nothing to do, Mousse decided to simply go out to the garden.
..The palace garden was giant. There were tons of roses and hedges everywhere, and even a small pond in a corner with a tree next to it, the leaves shadowing over the small bit of water.

The garden was Mousse’s safe space growing up. Every time there were some family matters, him and the other kids would be sent outside to this garden to play.
He smiled as he gently picked up a nearby rose, simply staring at it for a small moment.

For multiple hours, the man sat on a nearby bench, admiring the surrounding area. Finally, he stood, deciding that maybe a small walk around the kingdom would be refreshing. Mousse sighed, exiting the mansion before locking the door behind him, and wandering off.

~~♡~~

It’s been over an hour since Mousse began to wander. The streets were now empty, as everyone had decided it was time to head back to their homes and rest up for the next day. He was thankful that he didn’t have to push and shove through crowds of people..

He sighed, taking a glance towards a nearby forest for a couple of seconds, only to see some sort of glowing light. He did a double take, quickly turning back towards where he saw the mysterious light. Mousse realized that he wasn't going insane and had truly seen a weird light between the trees, immediately rushing to where it was.

The surrounding area quickly became dark and ominous as he walked. Mousse drew his sword, preparing an attack on anything that decided to pop out and hurt him.
Obviously, he never ran away in cowardice, therefore if something harmed him, he was screwed.

Eventually, Mousse reached the area where light was gleaming from, having to cover his eyes a bit so as to not blind himself.
..The sight ahead on him rendered him absolutely speechless.
There stood a man, overtop of the large lake on some sort of custom stage.
He held a gentle smile as he danced, creating ripples in the waters below.

The stranger seemed to not notice him, only continuing his dance. Mousse stared in admiration; This stranger was stunning.
After quite a few minutes, the man realized that Mousse had been watching the entire time, his face turning pink in embarrassment. He never really let people witness him dance, the only audience being the swans that swam nearby.

“..Oh my, did you see the entire thing-?”
He questioned in a soft tone. Mousse was snapped out of his trance, clearing his throat before he spoke.

“Ah-I witnessed a bit, but not all. Your dancing is quite graceful..”
Mousse tried not to stammer as he talked, glancing away to look at the surrounding area. It was a bit dark, but the glow of the lake kept it bright.

He heard the man chuckle awkwardly, beginning to step off of the stage he had been standing on. He stopped and stood in front of Mousse, an embarrassed smile on his face.

“..Thank you, sir..May I ask, what is your name?”
He whispered a bit. With the man this close, Mousse couldn’t help but go a tad bit red.

“Er- Yes, my name is Raspberry Mousse, eldest son of the Raspberry bloodline.”
Mousse replied, drawing his sword as a way to show who he was. The other stared, a bit in shock at the fact that a member of the royal family in the kingdom was here, right in front of him. He gave a slight smile, before speaking in a soft tone;

“Quite the lovely name, sir. I am Whipped Cream, although I am not anything fancy..”
Whipped Cream awkwardly said, feeling a bit embarrassed that he was nothing but some guy who danced at lakes, whilst Mousse was practically famous.

Whilst Mousse was practically fawning over the other. To him, the dancer was absolutely stunning. He was already beginning to wish they could be together…
(That normally would be hell to explain to his family, but knowing that his cousins liked the same gender kinda saved him from explaining…)

The two stayed in a bit of an awkward silence for a bit, before Whipped Cream quietly whispered a question;

“..Would you- Like to dance? Maybe it could..Help expand my variety a bit.”
He turned a bit pink while speaking, glancing away to hide his face. Mousse turned quite red as a reaction, only stuttering a bit when he tried to speak.
He settled for nodding, reaching a hand out to the other. Whipped Cream smiled, taking his gloved hand almost immediately.

Whipped Cream held a gentle smile as he led the other onto the lake, taking slow strides to ease Mousse’s worries.
Eventually, the two were standing on the lake, dancing a simple ballet dance.
Mousse tried his best to keep eye contact, but he found it quite difficult when he was in front of an absolute beauty.

It took a good 10 minutes for the duo to finish the dance, being completed by what you’d expect; A dip.
Mousse held the other by the middle of his back, as gently as possible. Whipped Cream held onto his shoulders, the both of them staying in a peaceful silence as they stared at each other.

That was, until Whipped Cream moved his hands to the other’s face, holding his reddening cheeks in his soft hands.
He smiled, leaning up to leave a small kiss to the other’s lips, feeling his face immediately turn beet red. Keeping the gentle embrace, they shared a longer kiss after they separated.

Mousse smiled, realizing he finally had someone to hold, like the others in his family.
