"Domi?!"

You could feel your eyes watering as you practically tackle him in an excited hug.
He tries to hug you back, but with his hands tied up he instead settles on resting his chin on your shoulder.

"I'm so glad to see you! I thought I'd never be able to get to you.." You can hear the relief in his voice.

You pull away from the hug and look him in the eyes "You came here to see me..?"

He grins.
"Nope! Not to see you, but to bring you home!" He said, full of pride.
Take me home?

Your eyes began to water again as you thought about finally going home.
It had only been over two weeks since you arrived here, but the idea of being back with your grandparents and the boys-

You couldn't wait to go home again.
But.. Wait..

You look him over and see his messy clothes, the bumps & bruises..
"How long have you been here..?" You ask warily.
"I snuck out the morning after the Prince took you. Before gran and gramps woke up." He said. He seemed a bit ashamed of the fact that he had snuck out. Or.. Was it he ashamed of-

"Did you steal a traders carriage?"
He flinches at your words, but admits to the crime.
"Yeah.." his head was lowered "I know it was wrong.. But.." He lifts his head to look you in the eyes.
"I couldn't just leave you in this place all alone!" Slight determination was in his eyes now. "Who knows what that weirdo Prince could do!?"

You smile.
He was worried..
"I'm glad you found me.. Though.." You look down at his bound wrists, your voice & expression become more stern.
"What did you do?"

Before Domi could answer, the old lady speaks up.
"He tried to break into the castle."
She smiles at you as she sweeps away some glass.
Remembering that you offered to sweep, you take hold of the other broom and start on the job.
She continues.
"Poor boy got the dickens scared out of him the first time."
First time?
"Those guards chased him all over. The boy ran till he was bout' ready to throw up." she shakes her head solemnly.

"The second time, that Prince Ace himself came out."
What?!
Domi spoke up now.
"The Princely prick threatened to kill me if I tried again." By his voice alone you could tell that he was obviously irritated.

"The bindings came from his most recent attempt. They tied him up and were about to throw him in a cell before my grandson got there."
Domi cut in "And I haven't gotten to thank him for it yet."

"Domi" you call to him.
He looks over at you.
"Do you have a way for us to get out of the city?"

He stops. Just full on stops, as in you can see the cog wheels in his head spinning.
"DAMN IT!" He shouts suddenly. "I can't believe I didn't think about that.." He puts his head in his hands.

"I can help with that." The old lady speaks up again. "I'll give you my carriage, and in return, you'll take my grandkids with you, and drop them off at the great grass city."

You and Domi agree to take her grandkids, after that you finish sweeping up the glass. Domi tries to use one of the large shards to cut off his bindings, but cut his hand instead.
After tending to his hand and comforting him, you see the suns come up.

"I should get back before they notice I'm gone." You say, standing up.

"Alright, I'll be waiting in the alley just before main road and carol street cross."
You nod in agreement.
Before you leave, you give him one last hug.

On the way back, you notice that the streets are decorated with flowers & ribbon.
People waited for something and squeezed into packed balconies to see whatever it may be.

As you approach the castle, you see that the front is now covered in flowers and house banners.
Missandra must have had it decorated already.
As you head towards the same door you exited from, you see movement in the window.

Your heart jumps into your throat.
The Prince was walking down the hall.
You duck down, so as not to be seen from his position.
Wait.. That hall leads to..
My room..

You take a risk and run in the same direction as the Prince, towards your room.
Had you locked your doors? Could you possibly get in through the window? If he's walking normally and you're running you should be able to get there first, right? What would he do if he realized you had left?

You get to the bedroom window and try and pry it open. After a few moments of no luck, you start to panic.
Just as you are about to give up, you give it one last pull and it shoots open.
Relieved, you clamber inside, close the window and tumble into bed.

Covering up in the blankets and quickly putting the cradles under the bed, you lay down your head and pretend to sleep.

And just as luck would have it, a very light knock on your door comes only seconds later.
Without any acknowledgement from you, he opens the door and steps inside.

You hear the door close, followed by his footsteps approaching slowly.
His steps stop and you feel a weight on the bed beside you.

He hums lightly and touches your hair.
What is he doing?
"Cute.." You hear him say beneath his breath, followed by a quiet chuckle.
He then leans in close to your face.
You brace yourself for a kiss on the forehead or cheek. But instead, he whispers in your ear.

"You forgot to take your shoes off, (Y/N)."
