  Astrid groaned, forcing herself to sit up despite how exhausted she was. She scanned her room, moments from the previous night rushing back to her when she spotted Henry by her side. The princess could not help but stare at him. The early morning sunrise shining on his face. Giving his hair a glowing effect. Astrid gripped Henry's shoulder and shook him gently until he awoke. Just like the last time he had fallen asleep in her room, the ginger-haired boy began to panic. There was no drugs or alcohol left in his system, only a horrible hangover. He lay his head in his hands, partly because of the embarrassing situation he got himself into and partly because of the terrible headache he was experiencing.

"Horrible hangover?" Astrid teased Henry. He groaned and fall back onto the bed, his head resting in the brunette's lap.

"Look. I'm so sorry for last night," Henry spoke up, his voice slightly muffed. With a long sigh, he sat up and flipped round to face Astrid, "And the other day." She remained silent, not wanting to face Henry.

"Are you still mad at me?" The ginger-haired boy asked, glancing up at the brunette.

Astrid shook her head side to side and locked eyes with Henry. Unexpectedly, he inched closer and placed his hands on the sides of Astrid's face. Before the princess could get a word out, he pressed his lips to hers. Astrid froze, the only thing she could think about was Henry's lips moving against hers. When he pulled away, Astrid gained back her composure and kissed him back. The brunette fell back onto the pillow with Henry on top of her. And soon they were making out. She ran her fingers through his messy hair. A loud sudden knock at the door startled the two and Henry practically flew to the other side of the room. Then another knock hit the door. "Astrid? Are you awake?" A voice asked from the other side of the door.

"Yeah. I'm awake," she called back.

"It's ten past seven." Once Astrid heard the sound of footsteps moving away from the door, she could not help  but laugh and Henry finally breathed again. "I'll go out first, then you can come out when no one's around."
