The Queen and Her King

Our Memories

Harry POV

"Carlos!"

I shouted out of nowhere. Carlos screamed some and jumped from his laying down position as he was probably just about to fall asleep. Brielle's been out and about doing her Queen stuff so I've spent most of the day in the dorm with Carlos as he pulled an all-nighter to finish a paper and is now trying to get caught up on sleep. I'm staying here willingly because I have to think,

"What?"

He groaned once he got his breath back. I looked up from my sketchbook once he saw spoke,

"I need help"

He groaned and slammed himself back down into the laying down position,

"With what?"

So here's my issue, Brielle's birthday is in a few weeks and I have absolutely no clue what to do. There's this whole party going down already because she's the Queen and all but I don't know what to get her,

"If ye had ta get something for a lass who has everything what would ya get her?"

Carlos thought for a few seconds before laughing some,

"Let me guess, is that girl Brielle?"

I nodded and sighed,

"What do ya get a lassie that has everything? Jewelry? Clothes? Trinkets or something? She has it all already, last year I did give her my ma's necklace. Obviously she likes it, she still wears it every day and such is lovely and warms my heart, but how am I supposed to repeat that success?"

Carlos groaned and shoved his face into his pillow,

"Just make her something. If she has everything you can get at a store then make something yourself"

"Well, what would that be? Last year it was my ma's necklace and she loves it, what could top that?"

Carlos tiredly swung his legs over the side of his bed and sat up again, his eyes seemingly fixating on my sketchbook for a second,

"Give her one of your sketches, she loves those"

I scoffed and looked back to my current work and did some light shading,

"One sketch? One single sketch is supposed to outdo what everyone else in the kingdom gets her? She gets presents from the entire kingdom, it needs to be something unique"

Carlos looked around my side of the room for a second or two, probably looking for ideas,

"Well if one sketch isn't enough why not give her that with maybe some sketch remakes of your favorite moments together? Like don't both of you have a copy of that picture?"

Carlos pointed to the one picture on my bedside table. It was a copy yes however in Auradon copying pictures basically duplicates it so it looks just like the original that Brielle has stored away somewhere. It is a cute picture for sure, it's the picture from our visit to the Isle. We're both sitting on the side of the bed we spent the night in whilst doing each other's eyeliner. I picked up the picture that was being held in a simplistic picture frame and smiled at it as I brought it into my lap, an idea striking my mind,

"What if I made her an entire book?"

I looked back at Carlos with a hopeful expression,

"An entire book of what?"

"Things like this, memories. Aha that's it!"

I closed my sketchbook and laid it to my side and put the picture frame carefully back in its place, my bedside table facing my bed so I could look at it whilst trying to fall asleep. I sprung up from bed and snatched my hook and hooked it onto my belt loop,
