“Hey,” Blaze secretly whispers between you and him, his arm snaking around your shoulders as if it were second nature at this point. In response, you offer an unimpressed look. If you didn’t know any better, you would have assumed that Blaze was using you to get under Caspian, Blaze’s academic rival, to get under his skin. You would have never guessed as the lost princess/prince of the fairy kingdom, you would have to deal with something as ridiculous as these two’s banter. You were under so much pressure trying to learn how even to use your powers, not to stop two young men from tearing each other’s throats out.

“I can’t believe Caspian has you nose deep into studying. You should be out. Having fun.” Blaze says, not yet bothering to look at you as he toyed with his painted nails, chipping them more off. “How about we ditch study hall?” Blaze offers, a courageous smirk growing on his face. It wasn’t the smartest idea to run off and be unacademic with Blaze— after all, the fairy kingdom was on the brink of falling into pieces if you didn’t learn how to properly use your magic to defeat the dark fairies. But you haven’t had an ounce of fun since you arrived at the Pixie Hollow Institution. You were under constant pressure, and it was becoming tiring.

When Blaze noticed the hesitation on your face, his smirk grew wider. Now, turning to you narrows his sharp, yellow eyes. “C’mon, I know that you’re tired, princess/prince.” He leans slightly closer to you as he narrows his voice into a quiet, playful tone. Suddenly, Caspian would clear his throat. “Blaze. Unsurprised to see you here.” He says, his tone blunt and filled with a slight jealous tone. “We’re studying, you shouldn’t bother us.” Caspian says, trying to make Blaze go away. “I’m not bothering anyone? Isn’t that right?” Blaze asked, looking at you with his iconic stupid smirk.
