Third person POV

They stayed in Livadia till [Y/N]'s birthday. It was actually the very first vacation, she ever had. And it was amazing! She would spend all day playing and relaxing. As Alexandra said, [Y/N] finally got to be a child for once. It may sound strange, but despite her young age, the girl had so much to worry about, that she didn't know what carefree childhood is...

They all enjoyed their stay,but eventually  it was time to go back, since the day of very important celebration was drawing near.

The celebration of 300th anniversary of Romanovs' rule.

Unfortunately, not everything was all right...
Alexei wasn't in the best condition, to say the least... And father Gregory Rasputin was out of Russia, so he couldn't be " cured". [Y/N] knew it was impossible anyway ( even though she would wish it to be otherwise), but she didn't want to kill Alexandra's hope...

It was evening.

She knocked on the door. Hearing a quiet promisson to come in, she entered the room.

Her friend was laying on his bed, looking terribly pale. He also must have had fever...

" Hi..." She spoke up softly." I came to check how you're doing..."
" Better... Thank you..." Alexei smiled weakly. She knew he was lying, but nodded with small smile. " I'm glad to hear that..."
" And how have you been?" He asked.
" I've been OK... And OTMA, too... But we all were worried about you... We can't wait till you get well, and you'll get to play with us in the garden,as always... Joy and Dulcinea also miss you..." [Y/N] explained with a little sadness in her voice.
" I'm getting better..." He assured and the girl nodded. " Well, I won't bother you any longer, goodnight..." She was about to leave, but he grabbed her hand. " Wait, [Y/N/n]..."
" Yes?"
" Could stay a little bit, please...? I really can't sleep now..."
" Of course....

She stayed there for a half hour or so, but somehow she's forgotten about the time.  Her and Alexei were simply talking to each other and she saw that he was getting better. At least he acted so...

" You know, after my mama passed away, I had a problem with falling asleep, too...?
" And what did you do?"
" I actually asked my brother what to do with it. He gave me certain advice. I liked it so much that I decided to write a song about it...
" I didn't know you could write songs...? " Alexei was impressed. 
" Just a little... " She answered, blushing slightly. " And I sang this to myself as a lullaby sometimes..."
" And it helped?"
" Most of the time..."
" Do you think... You could sing it?" He asked. " Maybe it could help me, too?"
" Well, if you say so..."

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[Y/N]: Be brave, dear one... Make a wish for each sad, little tear...
Keep your head up, though no one is near... Someone's waiting for you~
Don't cry, dear one... There'll be a smile where a frown used to be,
You'll be part of the love that you see... Someone's waiting for you...

The boy listened to her singing, suddenly he unconsciously put his hand into hers. She didn't seem to mind it and just smiled as she continued to sing.

[Y/N]: Always keep a little prayer in your pocket and you're sure to see the light... Soon, there'll be joy and happiness, and your little world will be bright...
