"Are you sure we have time to have fun like this?" Silver asked.

Prince Nick had taken him out to dinner at a 5 star resturaunt with their own private little room so the prince wouldn't be mobbed. Nick wore his usual black suit with the exception of the blazer and tie, paired with matte black dress shoes. His hair, usually fluffy and soft, sat pushed back after Nick had run his hands throught it so many times during the day.

Silver wore a white dress shirt with khakis and paired it with some white sneakers. He thought they looked like H&M models.

"Well we gotta have fun while we can," Nick grinned, "You've hardly touched your wine."

"I'm a bit of a lightweight," Silver confessed, "Aren't you the least bit nervous about tomorrow?"

Nick sighed, leaning his head against the table as the waiter came in, "Worrying won't do us any good. Besides, might as well have some fun before the craziest day of our lives."

"I guess that's true," Silver said, placing his cloth napkin across his lap, "I'm just nervous. Can't fight the butterflies in my stomach." The waiter placed the bowl of spaghetti in front of him and the steak in front of Nick, along with the appropriate knife.

"Are you sure it's not the dashing prince in front of you that's giving you butterflies?" Nick winked with a grin.

Silver wanted to roll his eyes but a giggle bubbled his way out of him before he could, "Oh, no. I'm used to those."

"Really?" Nick paused, his fork and knife already sunken deeply into his steak even thought Silver hadn't even touched his own food yet. "Do you actually get butterflies because of me?"

"I mean..." Silver looked down at his food and fiddled with his fork, "When we first met, it'd be hard not to notice how attractive you are."

Nick swallowed a piece of meat and, without taking a breath, answered breathily, "Really? You didn't think I looked too... vampire?"

"I mean you definitely fit the vampire look, but like..." he took a bite of his spaghetti and waited to eat it before continuing. Nick didn't move a muscle while he chewed and swallowed, eyes locked on Silver's and making the boy that much more uncomfortable.

"I mean you have super pale skin but like... your dark hair pairs well with that and," Silver put his fork down to think, "I like it when you wear dark colors, 'cuz that color seems to shape your body better and when I first met you, you were wearing that black suit. I also really liked it when you smirk with one side of your face and you eyebrow tilts up slightly and- oh, that face right there."

The prince was, in fact, smirking, but only to hide the giant smile that was fighting it's way onto his face. Silver smiled and reached into his back pocket. "Wait, let me take a picture," he said aiming his phone camera at the amused prince (who still had not said a word) and snapped a picture, "Oh, I forgot I already took some pictures of you while you weren't looking. This is the first one you're actually aware of."

Nick put a piece of steak into his mouth and didn't bother waiting until he was finished chewing, "Oh really? Can I see?"

"Sure, they're kinda creepy though," he slowly handed the prince his phone, "I'm pretty sure I took one while you were sleeping."

Nick flipped through them, smiling at some and laughing at others, "This was when we found that weird tree... this was at that Darius guy's party... ugh this one was with your cousin. I didn't realize I stood that close to her, she probably hated it."

Silver laughed, "She doesn't actually hate you."

"I don't believe that for a second," Nick rolled his eyes, "She hates vampires."
