The next day, Niall made it his mission to make sure Harry stays stress-free all day. So, he allowed the boy to sleep in for as long as he wanted. Then, once he woke up, he surprises him with brunch in bed, serving the Prince his favorite breakfast.

"Aww thanks for this, Ni!" Harry says graciously, gulping down his orange juice and covering his mouth as he burps, "excuse me."

"You're excused." The blonde boy teases back.

"Oh shush." Harry playfully slaps his best mate's arm, then goes to ask, "what tasks am I assigned to do today?"

"Hmm, let me see... Absolutely nothing." A smile appears on the servant boy's face.

The curly haired Prince's eyes stare at him in confusion, "what? Why?"

Niall refrains himself from rolling his eyes, "You know exactly why. Now go and freshen up, we're going to the gardens today."

"Uh...okay?"

It took the Prince half an hour to get himself ready, even though they're only headed to the gardens which was within the Kingdom's domain.

Queen Anne loved flowers and nature in general, so she planted and created a small garden in the west side of the castle that allowed sunlight to shine down on her creations.

"It's a lovely day, isn't it?" Niall speaks up, breathing in the fresh air once he and Harry are sat down on a picnic blanket, underneath a tree.

The Prince nods in agreement, "it truly is. Especially here. It's so peaceful."

They sat there in a comfortable silence, neither of them wanting to disrupt the peace and quiet between them.

While Niall leaned his back on the bark of the tree, closing his eyes to take a nap, Harry stays seated with his legs crossed in front of him, his mind drifting once again to his blue eyed lover.

Another day is yet again spent without him...

Questions like; is he okay? Is he eating? Does he know his partner is worried sick about him? flood his mind.

Buzzzzzzzzz

"Huh?" A sound snaps the boy out of his thoughts. He looks at Niall if he heard it too, but his friend was already snoozing away against the tree.

Buzzzzzzzzz

There it goes again.

Harry quietly stands up and listens for the buzzing sound again, this time, finding the source of the sound to be coming from an enclosed flower.

"Hmm, that's weird."

With caution, the Prince approached the oddly buzzing flower and picked it out of the patch, bringing it closer to his face, inspecting it curiously.

Buzzzzzzzzzz

"What If I-..." He trails off, beginning to carefully open the flower by its petals. The second he does, a little bee flies out which got Harry to let out a not-so-manly squeak.

He looked back to his friend to see if he woke him up, but the blonde boy was still snoozing peacefully by the tree.

The young Prince averts his eyes back to the bee that's currently flying right in front of his face, seeming to be thanking him for helping them out.

Harry smiles widely, a small giggle escaping his lips, "you're welcome, little bee. Glad I could help."

The boy has always had a way with animals. Kind of like in the stories he's read, but he doesn't actually talk to them or know what they're saying, he just...understands. Ya know?

"Harold, you better not be talking to animals again." Niall's voice speaks up.

"I'm not..."

"Uh huh, sure."

The servant boy really thinks his best friend is going crazy due to the social interaction he's missing out with other people. And the fact he has seen him talk to the two birds that come by his window makes it harder to believe that he isn't already insane.

Harry watched the bee fly around him in fascination, experimentally holding out his palm to see what would happen. Like he expected, the small insect landed on his hand.

Niall peeked open his left eye to see what his best mate is doing, the second he caught sight of the small creature he screams in panic.

"HAROLD GET AWAY FROM THAT THING!"

"Why?" The younger boy asks, placing his other palm gently on top of the other and bringing it closer to his chest protectively, "please don't hurt her, she didn't do anything wrong."

Her.

"How do you know that thing is a girl?"

"I read." The Prince answers confidently.

Niall rolls his eyes, "of course you do. But won't it sting you?"

"No..."

"You hesitated."

Harry huffs, bringing his hands back up to his face and asking the little insect sitting cozily on his palm, "you won't sting me, right little bee?"

The bee buzzes in response, making Harry grin triumphantly, turning back to his best friend.

"Told ya she won't."

"Whatever, H. Let's go back inside, I'm craving some apple pie." The blonde boy says, standing up from his leaning position against the tree and dusting himself off, "come on, Prince-y."

"Yeah yeah go ahead."

The curly haired Prince stands and walks over to a patch of flowers, patiently letting the bee crawl from his hand to one of the flower buds.

With one final glance, Harry waves to the insect happily, "have a good day little bee!" Before jogging over to his friend waiting for him.

Niall shakes his head in amusement, slinging an arm around the younger boy's shoulders, "you're really something, mate."

"Something good or something bad?"

Niall chuckles, poking one of Harry's dimples.

"Something great."

"Y-your majesty, shall I escort your guest to your study?" A servant nervously asks the King of Mundesy.

"Yes, now hurry up and GET BACK TO WORK YOU FILTHY PEASANT!" King Cowell booms, frightening the servant even more.

"Y-yes, right away, my King."

Averie watches as the servant bows in respect to her presence before scurrying off to do their task, "father, why do we have a guest?"

"Ah, Averie, you're just in time."

"I am...?" The Princess questions.

"Yes. I'll explain in my study, come along."

King Cowell leads the both of them to his study, not uttering a single word the whole way there.

"Emh, may I ask who it is?" Averie speaks up once they're in front of the door to her father's study.

A wicked smile appears on the King's face as he opens the door and reveals the person inside.

"Averie, meet Princess Taylor of Beardannia."

Ooh what's King Cowell planning?

I don't know.

Like seriously I'm clueless.

I'm gonna wing it again.

But guess who's finally gonna see Louis in the next chapter! ^~^

Spoilers: it ain't gonna be a cute meeting.

Okay byeee
