Stories, my ideas

The prince and the pauper

Once upon a time there was a prince, living in a perfect palace, where everything was perfect, just the way he liked it, the selfish Prince yet was still not satisfied, he wanted more.
Then there was a girl who lives in a small cottage near the city, in a family of eight brother and four sisters, she was the youngest, yet the most responsible, but don't go on thinking this is going to be a Cinderella story where the poor girl gets harassed by the others and she goes to the ball, the prince finds her and they live happily ever after, no! No.
The chores are split between everyone fairly, she is in charge of the laundry, she also owns a Taylor shop in town where she spends most of her time, helping people who need help for free, no charge.
"Thank you so much again Aiko"
"Your welcome come back any time" I wave to Mrs. Nanako.
I tidy up as I wait for someone to come.
"Morning Aiko" I turn to see a familiar face.
"Morning Reiji, did you come here to get something fixed" I smile at the guard.
"Actually, the prince noticed that I.. 'Perfected' my cape and asked me about it.. Now he kind of wants you"
"Oh.."
"Yeah"
"It's hard, I can't say no to the prince yet I don't want to leave these people"
"I know how you feel"
"I don't want to be the princes personal seamstress" I scrunch up my nose.
"I know, I know" he sighs "I'm sure you'll find a way to get along with him, your that type of person"
"You think so?" I smile as I grab my things knowing I don't have a choice. He leads me back to the castle and before we depart..
"Reiji? Can you tell dad what happened?"
"Yeah, sure"
"Thanks" I say as the butler opens the door.
"So your the seamstress that everybody loves so much"
"Yes your highness" I bow as he stand and walks up to me.
"Good, I was just thinking you wouldn't come" he grabs my chin and pulls my face up to get a good look at it.
"Why did you?" He lets go and turns away.
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Good answer" it was a test? Or is he being cocky?
                       -time skip-
     "Bad news sire, Aiko was taken by Lord Kaneki"
     "Then what are you waiting for" the prince says unemotionally studying a rose to make sure it's perfect.. As usual.
     "But sire, this could spark war"
     "God, do I have to do everything myself?" The prince stands from his chair.
     "Prepare the horses" he points at Reiji
     "Yes Sire"
-time skip-
The door bust open and we both look in that direction.
"Good evening, I'm here to claim what is rightfully mine" a grin spreads on his face as my eyes widen.
-time skip-
"I saved you"
"I realize, thank you"
"I went out of my way to save you"
"I.. I said thank you" a sweat drop runs down my forehead.
"..." He stares at me like he expects me to say something else "your welcome" he turns away.
-time skip her pov-
"It's nice seeing you again Aaron!" I smile as I spin around to see Aaron standing there
"Oh, hey Aiko, it's been a while" in the corner of my eye I see (?) leave looking sad.
"I hope we can catch up a little later but right now I need to take care of something, please excuse me" I bow and run in the direction (?) left to find him out on the balcony by himself.
"(?)?" He twitches as if he wasn't expecting me to follow and turns around plastering a smile on his face.
"What's up?" He asks
"Is something the matter? You left" I look back into the ball room.
"Nah, nothing's the matter"
"You know.. You really have changed" I say joining him by the railing and silence falls over us.
"It was because of you" he speaks up after a while.
"Huh? Of course not! Why would it be me?" I laugh.
"Because.." He turns to me with a pained expression which makes my heart skip a beat and sadden.
"What's wrong (?)?" I ask stroking his cheek.
"I can't have you" he turns away.
"What do you mean?" I ask reaching for his hand but when I grab it he jerks in away causing more pain to swell in my chest.
"I bet you hate me"
"...I don't hate you!" he spins around to find tears streaming down my face.
"Aiko.." He wipes my face with his sleeve and I look up at him am he pulls his sleeve away only to have his face draw in closer, his lips meet mine, they're warm and soft, I blush as I wrap my arms around his neck and close my eyes.
