Techno looked at me with a mix of confusion and disappointment. My heart sinks at this as I look into the stupid bone mask, I liked it at first but now I seemed to despise the thing. It seemed to glare down at my smugly. I quickly pull myself out this thought spiral, I mean I'm not going to have a mask as my arch nemesis.

Techno ,scratching his neck, says a little sadly "I.. we don't have a garden no," he says but that disappointment wasn't pointed at me. It was in fact pointed against himself, I smile at this. Knowing he wasn't annoyed at me was very fulfilling, I sigh saying "anywhere else that's private?". He seems to think harder then before.

I watch the light shine in his eyes when he got an idea, "yes that's perfect!" He muttered under his breath, my ears pricked with interest as he started to drag me down the hall. I laugh as he almost seemed to bounce in excitement, he pulled me into a small room. It was gorgeous, dazzling light shon down on us.

I looked up to the glittering coloured glass. The glass was like a black whole of lava with colours of red, orange and yellows in all different shades. "It's gorgeous," I can't help but mutter in wonder, as the light of the colours shines down on my face. "It is isn't it, it's the clock tower. Because we have no sun in the never we use this enchanted glass," I stare at the glass in wonder.

"How is it enchanted?" I say looking at techno, the colours of the glass glimmering on his mask and his silky hair. He looks so powerful and strong under the gorgeous lights. "You'll find out," he says in a quietly, just mesmerised to the glass. I slowly sit on the carpeted floor, the Carpet was white to help reflect the colours all around the room. It worked, the whole room glowed with light and warmth.

Techno slowly sits down next to me as he marvels at the glass. "So our wedding is in.." I trail on my sentence realising I didn't know when it was. DAMN IT! I really should have been listening but I was a bit distracted. I glance at techno as he chuckled quietly "a week exactly," he finished my sentence for me.

"Looks at that your already finishing my sentences," I try joke over my mistake as I look at the mask. He doesn't really answer just stares into the void of colour, "I was thinking we should get to know each over a little better," I mutter this a little embarrassed. I didn't want to have a marriage where I hated my partner. But this was different, I wanted him to like me.

It was odd, I have never tried to impress someone before. He glanced back at me, "maybe that would be a good idea, so what's your dream wedding?" He asks quietly. I sigh at the subject "well my only wish has always been to love the other person and not to have them chosen for me," I mutter under my breath. He stares at me sadly as I turn to him to know what his was.

"I've never really wanted to marry, but when people mentioned their wife's they are always so rude. So I wanted to love and respect her forever no matter what. And treat her like a goddess, unlike those plebs," he grumbled, I watch his ears slowly dust with red. I couldn't see his face but I knew his checks would be the same.

"Can I ask something more personal?" I ask cautiously. when I get a small nod I blurt out "why do you wear the mask?" The question has been itching at me for a while. I stare at his face, well mask; desperately trying to figure out if he was offended. I gulp down the lump that formed in my throat. My heart was heavy as I waited impatiently for a reply of some kind.

To my shock he lifts his hand up to tilt my face upwards. We make eye contact, making a shiver shoot down my spine and my stomach to go round in a rollercoaster. I melt in nerves under his gaze, I glance toward the glass with a stupid little giggle. But again he forced me to make eye contact. I inspect his hand as it moved upwards to the back of his mask, I listen to the light click.

I stare as the mask slowly falls into his lap. I feel my mouth drop open slightly, his jaw line was sharp. His eyelids relaxed over bright orbs of life and emotion. He had a scar running down from his left eye to his right jaw line. His lips were tinted a cherry red like his mums with small white tusks .

I watch as he ruffles his bangs, they come down to frame his face so wonderful like the work of art it is. His nose is long and sharp like his jaw. Unlike before I couldn't get my eyes away from him, he was stunning. I stare at his face in absolute shock and wonder. "Wow, why do you wear it?" He shrugs picking back up. I lightly place my hand on his, pushing it back to his lap.

"I like seeing your face," I mutter a little embarrassed as I look down at my lap. He laughed as he placed a light hand on my thigh. He leans forward, mask in hand. He lightly placed the mask on my face, I'm thankful my face is covered as he leans forward to clasp it. The mask was cool, nice against my hot face. It was a little loose on my face and sank a little sideways.

He chuckled saying "you look cute," I feel my face flush and my heart slow to an almost stop as I stare at him. "Wh-a-what?" I say stumbling over my words in the most embarrassing manner. He laugh a lot at this and asks "you okay princess?" I nod quickly trying to shake of the sensation of this feeling.

I lean closer as I bring my arms around his neck, pulling him as close as possible in a hug. He stiffens into a block, I can feel his face heat up as he buried it into the crook of my neck. I had grown accustomed to the tingling sensation that went running through my body, I had never felt this way before.

He made me so happy.

We stay like that for a few heart ranching moments. I pull back to look at his face as I whisper "I'm glad you where one of my suitors, even if it was arranged I'm happy." He stared at me in pure shock as he says "I promise to you with my whole heart and soul that I will always protect you," I felt my heart swell in size.

It was an odd sensation like something gripping my heart, like something heavy laying on my chest. Yet it was so comforting and secure, it made my body tingle so vibrantly. I chuckle as I say "I think we should go, if this glass is indeed enchanted we should go to bed,"

We both turn our heads to the glass, it had slowly turned a lilac and navy. It even had little golden specs to represent stars, I watched as one of those specs flew across. The star sparkled ad it cross the glass sky in a magical moment. "You should make a wish," techno whispers in my ear. My thoughts stumbled to find a wish.

Then I look back at him and everything comes crashing down. I didn't need to make a wish, I had everything with me here. My thoughts reach out I wish we could stay like this for ever. I feel my face heat up, thank god I still have his mask on. I feel my heart pound inside my chest as I stare into his eyes.

Suddenly his breath fanning my neck is too much. His lips are just there, can't I just.. I stare at them, they look so nice and they felt so nice before. Techno clears his throat as he leans back and gets up on his feet. He reaches down, going close to my face one last time to take my mask. "I'll see you later okay?? I've got some things to sort out" I nod not even aware of what I'm doing.
