Hugfia's 30 Day OTP Challenge

Day Eight: Shyness

Prince Hugo loses his nerve when he tries to tell Sofia how he feels.

"Hi, Sofia." Prince Hugo grins, sits down next to her in the courtyard.

Princess Sofia smiled at him. "Hi."

Hugo swallows, licks his lips. "I've, uh, I've got something to tell you."

"Me too."

"Oh? You wanna go first?"

The princess shakes her head. "You can."

The words are in his throat-right on the tip of his tongue-when they get stuck.

"Hugo?"

"You know." He shakes his head. "Nevermind. You go."

It's the soft press of his lips against Sofia's that shocks him the most.

Hugo almost forgets to kiss her back.

It's a short thing-the kind of thing that leaves Hugo desperate for more. Sofia's forehead leans against his.

"I like you," she murmured. "I hope that's okay."

Prince Hugo smiles, leans in to kiss Sofia again. "S'more than okay."
