Prince Luke - Part 3

http://my-imagines-moonlight53.tumblr.com/post/106402142657/prince-luke-part-3

You knew that something was wrong between you and Luke; since that day when he nearly kissed you, he had been ignoring you. Every time that he had been near you, he would quickly put space in between, not wanting to stand to close to you, or be next to you for long periods of time. Sure he would still be around to keep you company, but it wasn't like before, before you would hold on to Luke, letting him guide you through the castle, he would let you use him like a human shield, shielding you from everyone who you would shy away from.

But now that changed. The once kind Luke, who would let you use him as a shield, now would stiffen the moment that you touched him, or as soon as the person would be gone, he would quickly push you away, almost as if your touch would burn him if you touched him any longer. Those small hand holding moments that you shared with him were now gone. He just didn't want to be near you, and you didn't know what you did wrong.

You desperately wanted to ask Luke if something was wrong, but you wouldn't even know how to ask. You were his guest, and he was the prince; for all you knew, maybe you weren't even supposed to touch him to begin with. Maybe he was finally going back to his princely roles, and that included not letting anyone who wasn't of royal blood touch him, and that included you.

Still with an aching heart, you kept your silence.

You were currently in the dining hall, eating with Luke and his family. Even your seating had changed, you used to sit right next to Luke, finding some sort of comfort by sitting next to him, but now he sat on the other side of the grand table, one or two seats from you. Luke wouldn't bother looking in your direction, and if he did, it would only be for few seconds.

You looked over at him and saw that he was staring down at his food, not wanting to even stare at anywhere else, especially not in your direction. You looked down to your food, not wanting to even look up either, because you felt that if you saw him ignore you even more, you might have cried.

You remember just a few days ago that his once bright cerulean eyes, warm like the oceans on a tropical beach, now reminded you of the cold waters of winter. What happened to cause this change? You wanted to ask, but you felt that part of you wouldn't be able to handle the answer if it was something really bad.

You kept looking down at your food, but you couldn't really eat, your thoughts making it almost impossible for you to stomach anything down without making you feel sick. So with a few more bites, you quickly excused yourself.

Luke looked at you as you left the dining hall with such a saddened look on your face. He let out a small groan as he brought his hands up to his face, feeling horrible as he thought how he could have hurt you. He knew that whatever you were feeling was his fault, and what's worse he knew that he couldn't help you.

The moment he noticed your saddened eyes, Luke wanted to bring you into a hug as he would whisper sweet nothings into your ears, but he couldn't do that. Because, he felt that if he did, he wouldn't be able to push away the urge to hold your face as he leaned down to kiss you. You were like a siren, an enchantress that he knew if he was too close to you for a long time, he wouldn't be able to resist the urges that had started to grow from the moment that he met you.

But, he couldn't do that. He promised you from day one that no one would harm you, and that included him. He knew that you were scared of people, and although you seemed to have been comfortable around him, all that could change in an instant if he decided to kiss you. He couldn't expose you to something that could potentially hurt you, he would never do that, Luke would never do something like that, no matter how much he wanted to kiss you and show you how he felt.
