A Boy Like Me (Phan Princess And The Pauper AU)

Phan (Prince and the Pauper AU)

Once upon a time in a far away kingdom, lived a king and a queen. They were deeply in love, and they resulted in a baby boy, the prince. A baby with sea blue eyes and raven black hair. A quiet baby he was, hardly making a fuss. He would grow up in the castle and in the ways of royalty, learning how to care for his people with a whole heart and bright smile, just like his parents.

But what they didnt know, is that at the same time in the kingdoms village, a second baby was born to a pair of poor citizens in a cottage. A smaller baby with brown hair and deep brown eyes. Laughing and smiling to his hearts content. The two lovers loved him dearly, but hadn't the money to feed their new born son. They were forced to borrow money from a man down the road. A tall old lad who owned a dress and suit imporiam. At the price of their child. He would grow up in the service of the retched old man, learning the ways of sewing and crocheting and caring for himself.

And how would these two young man's paths cross? Well it all started with a song.

"Your highness! You must awake in time for your meeting!" I heard loud knocking at my door. I fluttered open my eyes, instantly shrinking back into the safety of my covers, away from the light. "Oh prince Phillip, please wake up! We are terribly behind schedule!" One of the maids shouted on the other side of my door. "Alright! Im awake!" I said rather loudly. This was going to be another long and boring day.

I sat out of bed, stretching vigorously. I was only to be copied by a faint yawn behind me. I turned around and smiled at my feline friend. He jumped down from his bed and rubbed up to my feet. I chuckled. "Good morning, Rikki"

I walk over to my curtains, drawing them back with one huge swing. The light hit ny body and warmed my face, brightening the room. I looked down at the village and my people. Oh, look at these people, they have it so easy, I thought to myself. I ran my hand through my black hair and went and sat down at my desk. I opened a book on science, slightly humming to myself. I heard a faint knock at my door, and allowed entrance for a maid as she brought in my breakfast. She sat it down on my desk and curtsied. I smiled back at her and she left, leaving me to my books.

Shortly after another maid came in, only this time holding a neatly wrapped gift. I frowned at the sight as she put it with the others on the other side of my room. When she left, I sighed. More engagement gifts. Swell.

Dan's POV

I woke up to someone shaking my shoulders. I grumbled and turn in my bed, only to be shaken again. I turned and cracked my eyes open, only to see my sweet older work partner standing beside my bed. "Good morning Daniel, its dawn. You better start working." She turned around and left my room, leaving me to wake up. I stood up and went to the circle mirror on my wall. I heard tiny pawsteps behind me, and i turned around to see my dusky brown cat, Zack, stretched and yawning. I looked at my curly brown hair, grunting at it. I changed into my white shirt, brown vest, brown pants and black shoes. I turned around and walked out the door, Zack following and prancing ahead of me, preparing for another day of work.
