Gabbrielli was walking to school, jotting in a small notebook as he went. It was peaceful, and the sound of birds chirping could be heard in the still morning air. Ah, how he enjoyed the peace... but it was ended abruptly as someone half tackled him from behind.
"Morning Gab!" said a familiar voice, as the boy attempted to regain his composure (which was a bit diffucult, as he was currently being noogied)
"Ack... Good morning to you too Taiana.... You're kinda choking me though..."
Upon hearing this, she released him immediately. "Ah! Sorry, Sorry!" She rubbed the back of her head, now standing besides him rather than behind.
"It's fine, just maybe be a bit more gentle next time?" He gave a smile, while trying to fix his hair. At the same time, he tucks his notebook away in his pocket. The peace may have dissipated, but it would still be nice to finish the walk with a friend. In a way, this was still the calm before the storm.
"Yeah, sorry again.... I'll have to be more gentle with the mighty prince next time, lest I seek to incur the wrath of a thousand fangirls." She started laughing, and Gabbrielli cringed a bit.
"God, don't remind me...." He sighed. "I still don't get why it's only me. You and Jacain sword fight every other week, and sure alot of people think you guys are cool but I'm sure you don't have love letters to deal with daily!" He realized that he had been raising his voice. "Ahem... Apologies, I got a bit worked up..."
Taiana shrugged. "Hey, it's fine. But uh i think you just answered your own question. Yeah, people think Jacain and I are cool and all, but they're probably intimidated by us as a result. And it doesn't help that I can be... A bit bad at reading the room 100% of the time, or that Jacain basically has an army at this point. But you're generally just.... approachable I guess? No one ever seems intimidated by you atleast." She grinned, before shrugging again. "Plus being a prince AND a pretty boy probably doesnt hurt either, heh."
"Yes, but still-" He stopped talking, noticing that they had reached the school. Taiana stood up straight, and put her hands on her hips.
"Well, I wish you the best of luck Prince Gabbrielli!" She gave him a hearty pat on the back. "But it is now time for me to depart! Taiana, away!" And with that she sprinted off, leaving Gabbrielli alone. He took a deep breath, and stepped into the school.
And was promptly swarmed with people. Love letters gifts.... By the time it was all over, his arms were completely full. He did his best to get over to his locker and open it, before promptly shoving all of the objects in his arms inside. He sighed as he closed the locker, not even noticing the person approaching him from behind.
"It appears that they were quite... fierce today."
"Oh, hello Jacain." Gabbrielli turned around to face the other boy. "Yes, yes they were."
Jacian sighed, placing his hand on his chest dramatically. "I mean no offense when I say this, but.... I do not envy you in the slightest Gabbrielli."
Gabbrielli chuckled at this, replying "None taken. Honestly, I think I would be offended if you DID envy me. Though I suppose you have your own issues with your... fans." Jacain broke composure upon hearing this, staying quiet for a few seconds as if trying to think of a good retort.
"Well, I would not call it a problem, per say.... They are just eager to learn, and they look up to me! I cannot just abandon them, my knight's honor forbade that!" He once again poses dramatically, and Gabbrielli laughs again.
"Apologies Sir Great Knight Jacain, I shall not speak little of you or your platoon again." He continued giggling, and Jacian pouted a bit.
"Hmph. Well if you want to be like that..." Jacain smirked "Then permit the Great Knight to escort his Prince to class, lest he fall victim to his 'fans' oncemore." Gabbrielli tried to stifle his laughter once more. At the very least, he could always count on his friends to cheer him up. And really, what more could he ask for?
