My Bodyguard is a Prince?!

Chapter 3

I took her to my father, we were hand in hand. She's so cute, I just want her to be mine, all mine. So, when we were in front of my father, I straightly told him, "Father! I'm going to marry her someday!" my father chuckled with my sudden out burst. I was just a kid that time, six years old. It's been 12 years. Many things happen in 12 years, many things change....  but one thing's for sure, I still love her....

Yuuki suddenly woke up from his deep slumber. He sat up and held his head, Another dream... he thought. He looked around, it was still early for him to get up. He took a deep breath, he's been getting a lot of his childhood dreams lately. He didn't mind though, he liked those dreams. His sweet innocent childhood.

Since he couldn't sleep anymore, he decided to finally get up and have his breakfast at the servant's kitchen. Takeda-san was already there and the head maid, "Good morning,"

"Ah, Yuuki-kun, you're up early," Takeda-san responded to him.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep anymore,"

"Oh, eat up then,"

"Hai,"

Yuuki started eating. His dream a while ago kept on repeating to his mind. He's been holding to that memory for 12 long years. People say what he was feeling was puppy love, if it was, then how come the feelings were still there? No, for him, it wasn't puppy love; it was real love. 

The three servants were eating their breakfasts when the bell connected to Aya's room rang. Everybody looked at it, then Takeda-san looked at Yuuki, "Do you want to tend to that? I'm pretty sure the young lady will prefer to see you instead of me,"

"Ah, sure," Yuuki got up and went to his master's bedroom. He knocked and was given permission to enter.

"Yuuki?" Aya sounded surprised to see him, normally, if it's this early, it would be Takeda-san to come to her.

"Good morning milady." Yuuki politely greeted her.

Aya smiled, "I'm glad it's you who came,"

"What can I do for you?"

"It's just... It's still too early, I still want to sleep, but I can't seem to, I was about to ask Takeda-san for a glass of milk, but since it's you who came, could you just keep me company while I sleep?"

"Ah, yes, of course," Yuuki went to Aya and sat on the edge of her bed, but she asked him to move closer to her, so he did. Aya placed her head on Yuuki's lap.

"Sorry for being such a bother, I just really feel safe and comfortable with you,"

Yuuki shook his head, "No ojousama, you're definitely not a bother, don't worry about it... anything, I'll do anything for you,"

Aya chuckled, keeping her eyes clothes, "I'm gonna confess something to you, but don't laugh, okay?" this was Aya's rare moments of being able to open up with someone, to let herself loose, relax. It's something she couldn't do... no, she was afraid to do so.

"What is it?" Yukki asked, interested with what she'll say.

"I have a crush on you, the moment I saw you... you're too handsome, and perfect, and dashing, and gorgeous, basically flawless, no wonder the students who followed my example of having a bodyguard tried to have a good-looking bodyguard too," then Aya hid her face under her blanket, "but you're just the best,"

"Then I'm really honoured, cause my master is pretty, and it'd be really bad if I'm ugly, standing beside my master,"

Aya looked at him, only seeing the outline of perfectly carved face from the night light, "You really think I'm pretty...?"
