Chapter Three

Your POV

The teapot full of indulging Lemon flavor was empty after they talk about their unforgettable and embarrassing moments. You noticed Arthur was leaning forward as slow as a snail and tried to say something but you've been captured by his piercing Emerald Green eyes. You couldn't help your cheeks but flush until your face is covered with natural red.

"Wow (Y/N), you have such beautiful eyes."

"Y-You too, Arthur."

"You do realize that you are going to kiss each other, right?"

The both of you flinched and realized what you are doing and looked away in embarrassment and awkwardness.

"(Y/N), your ultimate crush is Prince Alfred, right?" Ruby smirked.

You stayed silent.

"Them why did you choose Arthur as replacement of Alfred? Is it because you have feelings for him?" Ruby wiggled her eyebrows then—

*Knock Knock*

You went to the front door and opened it, wide open, with the Seven princes smiling at you outside your doorstep.

You look behind them, women were squealing over them but the Chinese prince stopped them with a bit of difficulty.

"May we come in?" Alfred spoke in a deep irresistible voice.

"Y-Y-Yes, your Highnesses." You suddenly fell onto a pair of arms of a certain blond-haired, green-eyed prince.

"I got ya."

"Arthur! What are doing at (Y/N)'s house? You should be at the castle doing your royal duties!" Francis made a TOTAL SHOCK face while the others are shaking their heads in disappointment.

"So what?! I don't care if I go into someone's house unlike YOU who flirts women all day, isn't it disgusting?!" He mimicked Francis's flirting moves as the others wore an 'OOH!' face but to you, you just laughed mentally and literally.

"Why you little!" He stomped as he walked towards him and started plucking his thick eyebrows out one by one while Arthur pulls his beard hard.

While they're fighting, they broke your vases. It wasn't just an ordinary vase, you handmade/d it for at least a year.

'What on earth am I seeing? I thought they're gonna punch each other?' You've had enough, you went up to them and pulled them by their ear and you them say,

"Owowowowow!" - Francis

"Ouch, it hurts! Owowow!" - Arthur

You placed them on the couch roughly and placed your arms on your waist.

"What are you two thinking?! Do you know all those things you broke are my handmade vases and it took one year, ONE freaking year to do those. And what did you do? You broke it!"

You felt tears falling from your eyes and you started sobbing. You ran away from your house, leaving (S/N) and Ruby with EIGHT worried princes inside.

Alfred's POV

"(Y/N), wait!" I yelled but it was too late, "We'll talk about this later and you, Arthur, are going to explain why you're here." I ran outside to search for her. I searched the whole village, she isn't here ether. I ran straight to the forest and heard light sobs.

Once I'm at the crying sound and saw it was (Y/N) crying, I went up to her and placed my hand on her shoulder as I slowly crouch.

She was sitting under a tree near a not-so-high cliff. It wasn't just a normal tree, it was a cherry tree.

"Shh, stop crying. I'm here." I whispered to her ear.

"How can I stop crying when those two idiots broke my handmade vases? How?"

"W-We'll buy new vases for you—"

"No! It's not right. That vase has a sentimental value and it broke for nothing, plus...I made it with all my heart myself. I don't want to lose any important things even my loved ones, and...my royal friends."

Royal friends?

Is she talking about us?

"Okay, I understand. But before we go back to your house, please stop crying because if you're sad, I'll be sad too if you don't stop crying."

I gave her a hug, a comfortable one. (Y/N) was the first girl I hugged this comfortable. But my heart started racing and my cheeks started to heat up.

What is this feeling?

Why am I so relaxed?

"Y-You can p-pull away now, Y-Your Highness." I heard (Y/N) stutter. I pulled away as I chuckled deeply. I looked at her flushed face, it was freaking red like a cherry or strawberry but it doesn't matter. It's still cute.

"Let's go back. The others must be worried." I held my hand and she held hers helping her stand up. The truth is...my plan is to win her heart without any distractions but Arthur is blocking my way to her heart.

Jealous?

Nah. Probably.

Showoff?

Nah.

Murderer?

Nah. I don't think so.

Your POV

You noticed that Alfred's hand didn't gave you a chance to ask him to let you go but you asked. Because your cheeks are red as a tomato and instead to talking normaly, you just stuttered.

"C-Could you p-please let g-go of my hand? It's kind of embarrassing, don't you think?"

"What do you mean? If I let go of you, you might be lost in the woods again."

"But—"

"Just don't let go or I'll kiss you."

You paused for a moment and thought that line again and again.

'It's probably one of his jokes again.'

You groaned and decided to follow his instructions and you don't want to be kissed by your crush, yet. The more his hand clutches yours slightly, the more you become comfortable in his touch.

When the two of you got out of the forest, you suddenly got surrounded by tons of women while the  paparazzo took photos of you in HHWW mode.

"Prince Alfred, are you dating this girl for money?"

"Your Highness, is it true that you and that girl are considered a couple?"

"Is your heart prepared to love again?"

"Where are those informations came from? Those are all nonsense! Get out of our way or I'll call the palace guards!"

The people around you started running away, leaving you two behind, still holding hands.

"Don't mind them." He says as you began to walk again.

'Alfred's hiding something. He knows that I have a crush on him. I just wanted to be touched by him, like tapping my shoulder, patting my head, but holding hands? This is too much!'

"Your Highness— I mean, Alfred."

"What is it? Are you hurt?"

You can't hide it anymore, so you asked about if he does have a crush on you.

"...Are you hiding something?"

"Hiding like what?" He asks while walking the right way to your house.

"Is it possible that you...took a liking to me?"

Prince Alfred paused for a moment and his cheeks heated up.

"I...uh...um..." He stammered.

As soon as he turned around to face you, he pulled you and wrapped in his arms in a tight and passionate hug.

You can feel his heart pounding and you snuggled into his chest as the hug became more passionate.

He pulled away as he smile slowly until it turns into a smirk.

"Come on (Y/N), I'm hungry. I need to eat a lot to regain my strength."

"O-Okay." You stuttered.

This is going to be a long walk.

-------------------------

While Ruby, (S/N), Arthur, Francis, Ludwig, Feliciano, Wang, Ivan, and Kiku were waiting for (Y/N) and Alfred to arrive, the Italian had an idea to set this boring atmosphere on fire.

Truth Or Dare.

"Hey-a fellas! Would you like-a play-a truth or dare?"

Ivan, Kiku, Ludwig and Wang joined but the other two didn't. Arthur and Francis were so guilty about what happened to (Y/N)'s beautifully handmade vases so they decided to make up...for now.

Back to Your POV

*Knock Knock*

"Oh, I'll get it!" Ruby stood up from the floor and went straight to the door, twisting the doorknob and opened it. You suddenly ran inside and stopped in front of the Brit's rival and the Brit himself.

"(Y/N), I am so, so, so sorry about what happened to your vases and flowers." - Arthur

"Yeah, we're really sorry about it and promised not to fight again in your house because we might break something again." - Francis

You cupped your chin and thought of something that'd make them pay for your broken vase.

They need to make a vase...HANDMADE or they need to take care of her flower shop for one month.

You used your girly skills and said, "I'll forgive you...in one condition."

The two just looked at you with curiosity.

"You two should take care of my flower shop in one month to earn money for the materials of the vase I'm going to make."

"What?! Are you serious?"

You laughed mentally because the reactions of their faces are hilarious.

"If you dare ask again, I'll consider you as my mortal enemies. Decide." You walk away, and you saw Prince Ludwig and Prince Feliciano standing in front of you. "Your Highnesses, if you excuse me?"

The Italian and the German prince gave way and Ludwig opened the door for you.

"Where are you going again, (Y/N)?" The American asked worriedly.

"I have four gold coins, would you like to join me for ice cream, your Highness?" You smiled, making his cheeks turn pink.

"Me too!" Ruby and (S/N) exclaimed as they ran out from your house.

"By the way, who's gonna watch over the house and who's going to watch over the palace?"

"Don't worry-aru, the King and Queen were watching over-aru." You heard the Chinese said from the window.

"Please, can I join? Please? Please?" They begged in unison, you couldn't say no to those puppy eyes so you decided to nod.

"Come on! What are you waiting for, Alfred?" You asked while walking away with your sister and Ruby.

He quickly went down and ran towards you as you went to the ice cream shop you're mentioning.

Francis's POV

Crap! I shouldn't fought him like that and the result? We broke (Y/N)'s vases and now, the punishment was to take care of her flower shop to earn money. But how?

"Are you just going to stand there? Clean this mess up!" Arthur commanded. I mimicked his muttering.

"What if I don't? I know you have a crush on (Y/N) when we invited her for breakfast, am I right?"

"What? What are you talking about you idiot?!" His cheeks heated up as he shook his vigorously.

"I think Arthur's tsundere personality has been revealed." Kiku said from behind me.

(A/N):

Tsundere (Japanese)

Definition:

Tsundere - is a person's personality which he/she becomes cold towards the other person he/she likes.

As you can see, Ludwig is standing and leaning against the wall, Feliciano was at the garden smelling some flowers, Yao was outside doing his Kung Fu skills, maybe? Ivan and Kiku were at the kitchen, making sandwiches. While me and that British h*e were at the living room sofa, thinking about the consequence she gave us.

"Let me ask you. Why did you visited (Y/N) during your chore hours?"

"What's the big deal? Is it forbidden to visit a simple villager in its house?"

"No, I mean— why are you visiting a villager in the middle of your chore hours?"

"Wait, why are you asking me these kind of things?" He started to blush.

I smirked. "Don't tell me you like (Y/N) for some reason and you don't want the others to know about it, correct?"

Silence...

"If you don't wanna talk about it, I'll just tell her the truth when she gets home." I threatened him.

The truth is, I took a liking to her since I saw her (E/C) eyes locking mine...what if...all of them has feelings for (Y/N)?! I'm not going to let that happen!

I sighed and started sweeping the floor. I placed the dustpan in front of the vase fragments and seeped it all the way into the dustpan, I picked it up and went outside and threw it into the trashcan.

I sighed again.

Third person POV

(Y/N), (S/N), Ruby, and Alfred were sitting on a bench near the fountain which is...in the middle of the village. Children were running. Merchants and fruit vendors on every corner. Blacksmiths were forging swords. Puppeteers were making the children laugh.

Every time a villager passes by and saw the American prince, they'll greet him with nobleness.

"Greetings, your Highness."

"Good morning, your Highness."

"Good day, your Highness."

Even though they're simple villagers, they treated visitors or each other in that manner.

"Say, why are you so nice to people even though you're a member of a royal?" (S/N) asks as she ate a spoonful of ice cream.

"Maybe they recognized me as a kind and caring prince but the truth is...I am kind and caring to people."

"Sorry to interrupt, your Highness, but your ice cream is starting to melt. You better eat it fast." (Y/N) says with a bit of a hurry.

Alfred looked at his ice cream, it really is starting to melt. He licked the melted cream on his hand and the cone and the cream on top of it. After he finished eating his almost melted ice cream, (Y/N) noticed something on his face so she giggled.

"What is it? Is something on my face?" He asks curiously.

"There's some leftover ice cream on your face." She says. Alfred was about to wipe the cream away from his face when a towel wiped the remaining cream on the corner of his lips. He looked who wiped it.

Alfred's POV

(Y/N).

The one who touched the corner of my lips to wipe the cream off.

I looked at her with wide eyes as she wiped the cream away.

"There." She smiled.

My face flushed red and looked away. I adjusted my glasses and pretended to be blinded by a shining object.

"T-Thank you."

"No problem."

I looked at her face again to see a bit of cream on her cheeks and lips. My heart raced because of the fact that the cream was on the corner of her lips.

I gulped.

You might think that I'm a pervert for some reason, but her soft lips wants me to touch them with my lips.

'Crap! I can't hold it anymore!'

I grabbed (Y/N)'s face and pressed my lips against hers with a bit of roughness. Though, I made it passionate with just a tilt of her head and there we go!

"THE SHIP HAS SAILED!" I heard her friend Ruby and her sister screaming like an air horn.

Everyone in the middle of the village were screaming and whistling as the kiss got heated.

I soon pulled away and the cream disappeared and looked at her piercing (E/C) eyes. I glanced at every inch of her face, it was completely red.

"Hey, a-are you a-alright?" I pretended not to be dazzled by her reaction.

She continued to look at me without any movement. I think I made it too far.

"W-We should g-go h-home before my mom freaks out." She slowly stood up. She can't walk properly because of the kiss lately.

From the outside, I am just a handsome, good-looking prince, but from the inside, my heart exploded like giant bomb.

Ruby and (S/N) were guiding her as she tries to walk like a normal person as I'm walking behind them, following them.

----------

We arrived at her house. It was clean as water!

I looked at (Y/N) again, she can walk normally but the issue is, she's not even making eye contact at me.

I shouldn't have done that to her since I'm her first kiss. She's also my first kiss.

When we went inside, the vase fragments were gone and the whole house was cleaned up.

Your POV

You rubbed your eyes and looked again to see if you're dreaming

...

...

Nope, you're not dreaming. You're in the real world trying to figure out what the heck happened. You felt yourself getting hot and dizzy, and tried to walk properly but you couldn't. So your body decided to go limp.

"Look Ludwig, she looks dizzy." Feliciano went to over to you and catches you by the waist. "Dios mio! Her head is burning!"

They all gasped.

The German headed to you and carries you bridal style and said,

"Where's her room, miss?" He looked at Ruby.

"Go upstairs and find the door with flowers. That's her room." She instructs him.

You went black.

-------------------------

While you're asleep...

"Hey Ludwig, do you think she's okay? Her head's still burning." - Feliciano

"I told you, she's okay. Just don't wake her up or it'll make it worse." - Ludwig

"I saw some healing herbs on her garden, maybe I could get her some and make a drink out of it." - Kiku

"I...think...it's because of..." - Alfred

"Because of what?" - Arthur

"I...kissed her." - Alfred

While you're asleep, you heard them talking when Alfred suddenly said that he kissed you, you remembered the moment when his lips landed on yours. Your heart was beating so fast that it would might pop at any moment.

There were butterflies on your heart and stomach fluttering all over your body. The kiss became heated because of a sudden move.

You tilted your head slightly.

Actually, you liked the sensation you felt and HE stole your first kiss. Your ultimate crush finally gave you a heartwarming kiss better than others, probably or maybe.

"WHAT?!" - The Seven Princes

"Wait, she had a fever because you kissed her?! Unbelievable!" - Arthur

"Wow, I think your lips are cursed-aru." - Yao (China)

"You moron." - Ivan

"If (Y/N) passed out and got a fever, so that means..." - Francis

"SHE LIKES YOU!" All of them exclaimed except Ludwig and Ivan.

"Sorry to interrupt your cheering, but could you please be a bit more silent or else you're dead!" Ruby popped out of nowhere and whisper yelled as she points a knife at them.

"They're always like that, you'll get used to it." The Russian smiled.

"You're right. They've been always like that since we were kids, they still haven't changed." - Ludwig

"So, those six idiots were your best friends? How come you didn't say that in the first place?" - Ruby

"Well—" Ludwig was about to say something when you slowly open your eyes.

Finally.

The others must've noticed you sitting up on your bed so they slowly adjusted your position to make you feel comfortable.

"(Y/N), this is Arthur. Do you need anything?" He asked kindly.

Arthur is usually short-tempered and has a sharp tongue but he is rarely kind when he gets worried of someone important.

"W...Who cleaned...the whole...house?"

"Me and Francis cleaned the whole house, shiny, right?"

You were still mad about him and Francis about the incident.

"I guess you're still mad at us." - Arthur

"I think you all should go. I can take care of myself."

"(Y/N) no, we're not leaving until your fever is gone." - Kiku

"If we leave-aru, we might think that we are cowards and not the brave ones-aru." -  Yao

"We will be disappointed in ourselves." - Feliciano

"... You know, I'm so lucky that you, the princes of your kingdoms took care of a commoner like me. Thank you."

You glanced at them, except for Alfred. You realized that you've been using your dress since yesterday, and the armpit part of your dress smelled nasty so you climbed down the bed and you were about to walk out of the room when a hand stopped you from walking.

"Where are you going? Your fever is still high, you might pass out again." Arthur warned.

They have no idea that you are going to change clothes.

"Oh." You nod. Even though you're a bit delirious, you still want some privacy. "Could you please get out? Or prefer watching me strip off my clothes in front of you?~~"

Third person POV

They couldn't believe what (Y/N) just said.

She noticed the princes' flushed faces.

Alfred was sweating while his cheeks turned crimson red. 'I-It's getting hot in here!'

Arthur was a flustered mess, he closed his eyes pushing his dirty thoughts away from his mind as his face grew red. 'Why the heck did she said that? Damn!'

Feli and Ludwig had the same looks as Arthur but the German was more than him.

Francis looked at (Y/N) using his perverted smirk of his. 'Ohonon~ I wonder how (B/S) (Y/N) has, I hope its huge~.'

(B/S) - Bust Size

Kiku was plain normal than usual, Ivan and Yao were just confused what she is talking about.

The eight quickly went out of the room for her to change her "Foul Odor" clothes.

-------------------------

The princes have no choice but to go back to the palace for an early lunch. Since Alfred was the one behind them and the others were walking a bit fast, he just couldn't stop thinking about the girl he kissed right in front of everybody at the modern plaza. He already knew about her had a liking to him since their breakfast, it was kind of disappointing when his rival was his own best friend/brother which is the British prince named Arthur Kirkland.

'I hope that Brit won't hurt (Y/N).'
