in a small town in Paris, Marc Anciel and Nathaniel Kurtzberg, a young couple, both go to Francoise Dupont Middle School, a public Middle School.

Marc and Nathaniel’s relationship was adorable and puppy love-related, they were both boyfriends and best friends at the time, they hugged, held hands, sat together, hung out, made comics, but due to their shy nature, they can’t take themselves seriously and start laughing uncontrollably everytime they try to say/do something slightly flirty or conventionally romantic, they do kiss but it’s only small pecks on the cheek or on the forehead, whenever they do kiss, Nathaniel has to stand on his tippy toes a bit due to their height difference.

however, both boys have never been in a relationship before so they’re still not completely clear about their relationship, they also haven’t told anyone at their school about their relationship, well except for their friend Prem, he was an indian boy who always referred to people as “Prince” or “Princess”, no one questioned it, they assumed it was his way of being respectful.

right now it was lunch time at school, the students had a free period off so Marc and Nath decided to finish working on their comic (Marc was the writer and Nath was the artist) in the cafeteria.

Nathaniel: i really don’t understand the concept of Lord Justice and Lady Mary, obviously they’re in love.

Nath sighed in slight annoyance as he tapped his pencil on his face.

Marc: Nath, how about you draw them holding hands?

Nathaniel: i don’t know… ugh! what if it doesn’t look good?

Marc giggled at Nath and placed his hand on his shoulder.

Marc: Nath, your drawings always look good, it’s gonna be great, i promise.

Nath looked at Marc before smiling.

Nathaniel: your right.

Nath started drawing the characters in the comic holding hands outside in the sun.

Nathaniel: does that look good?

Marc: yeah, it looks great, you’re an amazing artist, you know?

Nathaniel blushed a bit before shaking his head.

Nathaniel: thanks.

than suddenly, Prem came rushing in, a huge smile on his dark brown skin.

Prem: Prince Marc!

Marc and Nath turned their head over to Prem.

Marc: oh hey Prem, do you need something?

Prem: i have terrible news, Prince Marc! sadly, i won’t be able to come to your house after school, i’ve been invited to Princess Rose’s birthday! but.. on the other hand, it’s a good thing cause you get to spend more time with your Prince!

Marc: oh.. that’s fine Prem, you can go to Rose’s birthday, i don’t mind.

Prem: gasps really?! thank you so much, Prince Marc! enjoy your time with your Prince!

Prem gave Marc a big hug before heading out the cafeteria.

Marc turned his head over to Nath, who had a deadpan expression.

Marc: Nath?

Nathaniel: sometimes, i wonder why he always prefers to people as “Prince” or “Princess”, it’s kinda weird.

Marc: Nath, it’s just Prem’s way of being respectful.

Nathaniel: yeah i know… anyways, i’m still trying to figure out what else i should add.

Marc: maybe you should add hearts?

Nathaniel: what is with you and the hearts?

Marc: giggles it’s romantic!

Nathaniel: laughs yeah you’re right, it is romantic.

Nathaniel grabbed a red colored pencil and started drawing small hearts in the background.

Marc: oh it’s so cute! i love it!

Nath blushed again while looking at Marc.
