Jack got a nutcracker for Christmas. There was something about him that left Jack in awe when he first saw it and seeing him standing, smiling, talking, he was more in awe. Now he is throwing himself into a world that needs his help for whatever rea...
By 9 Jack was ready to go to sleep. He was tired and full. Rose had lost her extra cake to him and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The bed seemed to be calling him but he then realized that he still had Mark in his bed. The prince was still a nutcracker but something about him on his bed made the brown-haired man blush. He moved the wooden man onto the chair before laying down on his bed. the man moved out of the nutcracker's line of sight and changed. No sooner was he about to fall asleep did he hear that familiar creak of Mark sitting on that chair. He listened to the steps as they came close. He even felt his hand move some of his hair.
"Jack, are you coming with me?" He opened his eyes and saw Mark standing eye level. "If you want to sleep it's ok."
"Why the sudden change?"
"I know that you don't get the greatest sleep doing this. You also looked pretty tired when you came in." Jack chuckled a bit, sitting up.
"I'm coming. Rose has to show me what she designed too anyways." He stretched a bit before standing. Rose already knocked on the door then entered the room.
"I want to show you before we go down there so I know what to bring. If this doesn't seem like something that isn't known to your kingdom just tell me and I can alter it."
"Of course. Let's see what you have." She opened her sketchbook and showed him the two things she had designed.

(I made these myself. Please be nice to me T-T)
"This is perfect! Rose this is it!" Mark seemed to love both the designs. "Jack is going to look amazing in that. The blue will bring out his eyes." Said man started blushing, scratching his neck.
"Good. I know just what to bring then. Just give me a moment and I will walk down with you both."
"Alright." The men said at the same time. They watched the girl leave the room before facing each other.
"So... your not going to be wearing a shirt."
"Does that bother you?"
"It's just... not something I am used too."
"But does it bother you?" They just looked at each other for a moment as Jack thought about his answer.
"No."
"Ok. Good."
"Yeah." They both went silent as they continued to look at each other. They heard the door open but didn't look to see Rose enter.
"Hey, are you guys-" She stopped and looked at them then smiled softly when she saw them just staring at each other. There was something about the way they stood near each other and their gazes that made the moment mean so much more than someone would think. She cleared her throat loudly, finally getting both of their attention. "Ready?"
"Yeah. Let's go." Mark stepped away first to lead the way. Jack watched him leave before he followed. Rose brought in the end of the line of three. They all went downstairs as silently as they could. They were more wary of his sister since she has been out to find out who Jack had been with. They reached the bottom without an issue, thankfully, and went inside. Amy and Tyler were waiting for them by the sleigh.
"Hi!" Rose greeted with a smile. Tyler was a gentleman and helped her onto the sleigh. "Thank you." He nodded.
"Prince, could you stay down here for a moment?"
"Yes, of course." Mark helped Jack into the sleigh. "I'll be up as soon as I can."
"I know." The sleigh ascended and Mark turned to Amy.
"Marki, what's your plan?" His general asked. "You haven't told us."
"Well, Rose is going to make me and Jack a disguise. Then we get into the castle as guests."
"And what are you doing after that?" Mark realized that he had no plan after that. "Look, your highness, I think you should let Ethan and I come too."
"But you don't have any disguises."
"It's alright. I'm sure Rose will think of something." Amy spoke before Tyler but the man nodded in agreement.
"Well, we can ask her." Mark agreed. The sleigh came back down. The men let Amy get in first before getting in themselves. The way up was low and quiet. Each of them were left thinking of their own thoughts. If Rose made Tyler and Ethan their own disguises then there will be four of them going. He had to find a way to explain all that in one story that would make sense to his brother. However he just couldn't think of anything yet. If Rose can make them something then maybe she can figure out the story. When they arrived they all got off. Both men helped Amy down before going to find their usual other. Jack had gone up to the top to look out at the kingdom. Roe had already started on clothes for Jack. She already has her measurments for him since she had made him clothes before. She, however, needed the princ's measurements. Once she saw him she got his attention and waved him over. The wooden man walked to the smaller girl.
"I need to get your measurements for the pants and mask."
"Of course. Measure away." Rose set the clothes she was sewing aside then grabbed her measuring tape. She positioned Mark just how she needed him before the measuring began. "Tyler and Ethan want to join me and Jack."
"I can make them something too."
"I guessed you were going to say that. But how would I explain that?"
"Well, Tyler would be Jack's body guard and Ethan would be his personal doctor. You both could say that they go with him at all times so that the prince is safe."
"I don't know why i didn't think about that."
"Well, not everyone thinks the same. I will need to draw up some sketchs and get their measurments."
"Will you be able to do that?"
"Your highness, I am Alexandrea Rose Francis. I can do whatever i want."
"Alexandrea?"
"Yeah, my real name. Don't ever call me that please."
"No problem." They both chuckled a bit.
(So, am i to draw the actual concepts or are you in horror of my other two?)
