Lessons of the heart

Tension and Turbulation

Okay, we all have those kind of days when you feel tense and all seems to be against you. What I like to do in those kind of situations (or at least what I should do) is take some distance. Find a place of your own to relax and calm yourself. Have some music on the background or even anime or a series an sip a cup of tea (or an other hot beverage. Stay away from the sugar though... first you have a sugar rush an then you just get sad again and sleepy).

Now, how is this relevant? Well, mostly because I have been super stressed lately and I just feel like giving people some pointers to feel better.

Wish I could do that for some of the characters but they won't listen to me. They have a personality of their own.

Leonhard wasn't as much as fuming as he was having a hard time coping with the situation. He wasn't going to punch anyone or anything, not wanting to risk having to explain two bandaged hands to his father. He would already have too justify his actions. Barging in at a rather intimate moment and then run away... It wasn't as if he had wanted to see that. Maybe his father would understand if and when he explained and apologized... but.. he couldn't face him. This was so conflicting. He wanted to just deal with this so he wouldn't have to remember it every single time he saw either his father or his Tutor but on the other hand, facing them would be even harder on him than studying.

Him exclaiming what he had witnessed had evoked yet another deafening silence. You would be able to hear a pin drop onto the marble floor, it was that quiet.

Heine was looking at Leonhard with a serious expression. If this was Leonhard's way of getting payback, it didn't exactly turn out the way he wanted it to be.

Licht simply found this whole ordeal amusing.

"They did?! This keeps getting better and better. Was it a good kiss or a great kiss? Shy or deep and intense? I just have to know! Aaaah, I am so happy. Something interesting is happening and I didn't even have to do something or go outside for it. Thank you so much Heine-Chan!"

The youngest Prince had claimed Heine again by pulling him away from Kai and spinning him around. Heine simply had to endure it...

"Please tell me everything..."

... Until Bruno unleashed his anger and frustrations on hi brother once again. Some things never change one bit.

"You obscene idiot! Stop talking like that! It's positively indecent."

Bruno straightened himself out and gazed down upon Heine.

"Bru-nii, you're just jealous because Heine-Chan isn't interested in you but instead is in love with our father."

Licht was rubbing more salt in the wounds.

Heine shook his head and gently placed a hand against Licht's shoulder.

"Prince Licht, if you please..."

As soon as the youngest sibling had finally shut up, he gave Prince Bruno his undivided attention.

"Prince Bruno, I know you find this hard to believe and this will take a lot of time but I do hope you can find it in your heart to try and accept this. Love isn't something that can be controlled. I am not expecting you to simply accept this... I know I may not be worthy of your father and I am hardly Royalty..."
