Daisuga - The Wizard's Apprentice

Chapter Three

Sugawara's POV:

I woke up extra early that morning. I simply couldn't risk him seeing me in my dorky whale pajamas.  I took a shower, brushed my teeth, did my hair, and cleaned the rest of our cottage.

There was a powerful knock at the door. I shot up and ran to it. I opened it, eager to see Daichi. Instead, I was greeted by none other than the Prince.

"Prince? Please come in! How can I help you today?" He was a head shorter than me, and was wearing a gold crown with shorts and a t-shirt. He wasn't dressed like a prince, but he will still be treated as my number one customer. As he walked in, he was followed by a tall blond knight.

"Hello. Where is the Wizard?" He asked while touching everything he saw. Good question, for I hadn't seen him all morning. I looked at his cauldron. He left a note on it.

Dear Suga

I wanted to give you and your boyfriend some alone time. I'll be back tomorrow.

-Ukai

"Um- he isn't in here today. I can help you. I'm his apprentice." I said, wanting to kill that blasted wizard.

"That's okay with me. I need a- uh" He loudly cleared his throat "A love potion." 

"What?"

"You heard me commoner!" He said impatiently.

"Who's it for?"

"sexy shoe merchant" He mumbled.

"What was that?" I asked him.

"Are you deaf!? A shoe merchant!" He crossed his arms.

"Tell me what happened."

"Well... I was in town and I saw this guy. He has the most beautiful hair and he was very tall. He's such a sweetheart and he's out of my league!" The prince said, adjusting his crown. "That's really saying something. I'm the prince after all!"

"I don't think you need a potion. I think you just need advice. You should talk to him. Maybe ask him out. Love potions are for people who have no chance at all, if he rejects you, then I'll give you the strongest love potion I have. Okay?"

"That's a great idea! I like you. You're like a mom. I'll be back at sunset with news on how it went. What's your name?"

"I'm Sugawara."

"See you later Suga!" The prince trotted out of my house, his knight following close behind. I went into my office and continued working on another sketch of Daichi. 

An hour passed. I heard a gentle knock on my door. I ran to answer it again. This time, it actually was Daichi. He was wearing nice gray pants and a green t-shirt. He had a small bag in one hand and was carrying the same black satchel as last time.

"Hi Sugawara. I'm here with your wolfsbane." He said holding out the bag. I took it from him and smiled.

"Would you like to come in?"

"uh- no thanks I'm allergic- YES!" He suddenly shouted. He looked down in shame and came in. "Wow. Everything is so much cleaner than last time. Not that it was dirty last time or anything." He started to ramble again. He's cute when he's nervous.

"Thank you. I used a cleaning spell."

"That's so cool! Can you do a spell now?" He asked. I wasn't very good at spells, but I really need to impress him.

"Yeah I can! Lets see um" I took out my wand "Aures Egestas!" There was a loud pop. 

"Um Sugawara?" 

"Yes Daichi?"

"Was it supposed to do that?"

"Do what?" I asked him. He pointed to the top of my head. I rushed to the bathroom. Sure enough, there were two large, gray bunny ears sitting on top of my head. He started laughing. 

I love his laugh

I laughed too. 

"Do another one!" He said still laughing. I pointed my wand at him.

"Parva Fieri!" I shouted. He started to shrink. He turned so small he was the size of a fairy.

"Hey! That's no fair!" He kept laughing. Eventually, I got rid of the ears and turned him back to his original size. We walked back to my office, and he sat on my small bed while I put away the wolfsbane. I told him many stories about the crazy wizard, and he told me all about his father's gardening incidents.

We talked for hours about anything and everything. I had the time of my life. But it was getting late.

"I should start heading back home. Thank you so much for having me." He said. He stood up and started to walk out. I grabbed him by the wrist again. 

"I need to see you again. Meet me tomorrow, in the town!" I told him, feeling my face burn up just a little.

"I'll see you there Suga." He said smiling at me. My stomach did a back flip. He walked out of my cottage. I flopped down on my bed again, only to be interrupted by another knock at my door. I walked over to open it.

There the prince stood, smiling ear to ear.  

"Suga! It went SO WELL. I was all like" he made a deep voice " 'be mine' and he was all like" he made a high- pitched voice " 'uh okay!' " 

"Wow. I'm very happy for you!"

"How could I repay you?" 

"I'll need your knight." I said, pointing to the knight that stood behind the prince.
