𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀 bit nervous if he would like it or not. Sometimes, she does not know how to 'repay' him for all the good things he has done for her, and she wants to give him the same treatment, although the majority of the time she does not know how. She noticed the light flush on his face, despite the bad lighting in the club, and her heart started to slow down in relief that for noting that he liked it, she even back to breathe. ❛ Well, that's it. You're welcome. ❜ She felt the kiss on the top of her head and she smiled timidly at him. The Hungarian blonde reserved the spa only for him because she wanted to spoil him ( and she liked to spoil him ) but she put herself on the list in case she decided to join him. And the rest of the 'trip' she didn't plan anything because she wanted to do anything he liked, she would simply tag along to whatever plan he wanted to do. ❛ The spa is just for you, but I can join if you want me with you. And a little spa, I guess wouldn't hurt anyone. ❜ Barbie was really, really exhausted especially these past few days, even her own body was telling it. ❛ I'll put the tickets in my purse, we don't want to lose them. ❜ She did what just told, took her shoes from his hand, and crouched down to put her high heels on again, holding onto his knee to get balance, and then she straightened her posture, leaning her body on the wall behind her and wrapping an arm on his neck, and stayed tiptoed whispers on his ears: ❛ And now what we do? A kiss? ❜ Her voice was slightly raspy, and she looked at him with her pupil now more dilated, and she teasingly licked quickly his chin and lips, to stare at his reaction, her dimples showing on her cheeks as she held her laughs.

the repayment wasn't necessary, barbara's happiness its own reward. after all, the japanese prince had only wanted to make her smile, treat the hungarian noble as she so rightly deserved. akihito, a diehard romantic in that regard; despite his often gruff attitude. ❝well, I want you to join me. would make me feel a bit better to see you being pampered also. I know how grueling this press tour has been.❞ he quipped, mindful of the exhaustion that seemed to seep itself inside her bones. and the defiance barbara carried while facing it. admirable but in the end, she did need rest. less she pass out on the world's stage. ❝no, no we do not.❞ he then chuckled, grip steady on the blonde as she moved to slip on her heels. akihto pinning her against the wall afterwards, guarding barbara from any prying eyes as he leaned close; laughing while being drunkenly licked. ❝I think a few are in order.❞ he answered with a smirk, taking her breath away passionately with a kiss.

        there  was  also  the  fact  that  the emperor was who sat upon the throne and was thus who she must deal with - keeping him at the very least neutral toward her was best for korea. jihye nodded.   ❝ and if this is the path he chooses then he will join their ranks. ❞   no man could live forever. the emperor would pass and hopefully whatever impact his words might currently hold would go with him.   ❝ midori is capable. the voice of a small handful will be drowned out. ❞

heavy is the head that wears the crown. or in midori's case, prepared for it. akihto at a loss for words in regards to his father's bias. accepting that little action would change it in the long run. nevertheless, akihito would continue to placate the older man, so that his attention and devotion to detail would have somewhere to go. mainly towards him. ❝wise words, indeed.❞ he hums, smile soon plastered on his handsome visage at the mention of his elder sibling.. ❝that's why I've put all my faith in her.❞

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒, and neon lights lighted the darkness of the club, and once her body collided against him when he pulled her closer a ghost smile appeared on her rosy lips after breaking the chaste kiss. Barbara knew Aki liked F1, and there was a race that she thought he would like to go to, but everything was sold out. She pulled out the two tickets from the neckline of her clothing, and her spliff fell down to the ground, but she quickly found it and tugged it back inside her neckline. ❛ I hope you don't need to get to the museum so fast, I got us a ticket to watch a race in England. It's the F1 that was sold out, I managed to get us a ticket to watch it. And luckily, it will be the end our my movie press tour. And we can do anything you want to, after. I reserved a spa for you. So, what do you think? ❜ That was the surprise she was planning, she was really impressed by how fast the tickets flew in those races. ⏤ Aki always knew how to surprise her, so she felt she could give the same 'treat' to him too, although most of the time she didn't know what to do to 'surprise' him. Either way, she was very nervous if he didn't like the offer. She wrapped an arm around his neck, holding the two tickets.

he continued to hold her close, watching as she clumsily moved around; akihito confused as to what his fiancée was doing but chose to humor the blonde, nevertheless. as he always had. at the mention of the F1 race; he smiled, unable to hide the light tint of pink that flushed across his face. the japanese prince obviously touched by the gesture. ❝I can't think of a better way to spend my free time with you than in england. thank you, barbie. this means a lot.❞ he beamed, leaning down to kiss the top of her head. akihito had been planning to take the hungarian princess on a vacation but for once in their entire courtship, she had beat him to the punch. ❝and we both could use a spa day, hmm?❞ he asked rhetorically, aware of how hard barbara had been working over the course of the past few months.

        initially  only  a  hum  passed  from  her lips. any tensions plaguing the japanese royals weren't truly her concern, except midori remained a dear friend, evoking a feeling of protectiveness despite her odd ways of showing it at times.   ❝ some are too set in their ways. nothing anyone can do will alter it. ❞   realism reigned regardless. it might be better to ignore the emperor entirely - easier said then done, jihye was sure.

he could understand ji hye being a neutral party in regards to the conflict between midori and their father. since intervening held no real benefit for the older woman. reasons akihito would have abided by, had the roles been reversed. ❝or are merely threatened by the idea of progress.❞ the practicing swordsman added with a burdened sigh, wishing his father would release whatever conservative notion he held on egregiously to. ❝I suppose this is why so many get left behind.❞

And finally, the waiting afterparty came, Barbara was already drunk from jäger bomb . And she wore the second outfit for the night, the red dress. She had already been there for a while, and the DJ playing the best musics. The Hungarian blonde was astride on the mechanic bull they had in this club, having a laughing crisis, trying her best not to fall, and she managed not to fall on the time estimated by the staff that was organizing the mechanical bull. Then she left, it, giggles and took her shoes, barefoot and found the green-haired prince. ❛ Akiii! I did it! Also, I want to talk to you about something… ❜ She says as she wraps her arms around his neck, holding her high heels, tiptoed to give a peck on his lips. Barbara had been planning this surprise for a while. The blonde held his hand and went to a part, of the club it was possible to talk ( having a conversation without yelling because of the loud music ) .

akihito should have known better. really, he should have. and yet, the green haired prince allowed the blonde to convince him that a night out was just what the doctor ordered. akihto now dressed in a low cut sleeveless blouse, jogger pants, and combat boots. what people would call an after party fit. and by people, he meant barbara. the japanese prince currently watching as the hungarian princess rode the mechanical bull in her drunken stupor, surprising everyone in the room as she outlasted the timer, bouncing towards him afterwards; pride etched all over his fiancée's gorgeous face. he reached for her heels with one hand, the other carefully wrapped around her waist as he pulled her close. ❝I saw. hmm, what did you want to talk about?❞ he asked, bestowing a kiss upon her lips. curious as to what she possibly had to say. once more, akihito gave permission for barbara to usher him to a quiet corner in the club so they could talk.

        no  stranger  to  parents  with  high  expectations, jihye had only ever complied, rising to not meet but exceed every expectation, proving herself to them at every turn. only in the wake of their deaths, she secretly felt like she stood upon unsteady legs, no longer able to glance over her shoulder and gauge their reaction to know if she was making the correct decision. thankfully, midori had her brother watching out for her.   ❝ 바보. ❞   but there was a hint of fondness even as she shook her head.   ❝ what has he done this time? ❞

❝the usual.❞ akihito answered as another wave of exasperation washed over him fully. the japanese prince troubled by the fact his sister has faced so much distain from their father. no matter what midori achieved, how she behaved—it was never good enough. in comparison to his own frequent praise. ❝try as I might, I shall never understand the source of his contempt nor sway it.❞

𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐓 him being surprised by her words. She hadn't anything else to do, also she needed to find something to help her be awake when she was clearly exhausted. Not that alcohol would help, they normally help her to sleep faster. ⏤ ❛ You don't have much to worry about. Your sister and I are very careful. ❜ Was she? Barbara didn't know, since she lacked self-preservation, as for her sister in law she cannot talk for her, but the little she knew she seemed a person to knew how to handle herself well, and was very 'badass'. She smiled timidly when he kissed the top of her head. Barbara was super exhausted with the press tour from her movie worldwide, being in a lot of countries, and spending the majority of her time inside of an airplane in long hours flighting, events after events nonstopping, and the tour hasn't yet stopped. She just needed to stop by two more countries to end the tour. ⏤ She chuckled at his words, as he mentioned if she did not fall asleep on him. ❛ Aki, I'm not sleepy I'm just tired. We cuddle and read things, have some champagne watch Netflix together, and eat fast food. Pizza maybe. ❜ Her grey-bluish hues were tired, despite her face not displaying it. There is an old war between Barbara and her sleeping time. She is too stubborn to give in to the sleep. Also, she is an insomniac, though when her body gets to a stage… She needed real rest ( to be clear this moment is one of these, but she is hard-working and promised her older sister she would show up since the other couldn't ) . ⏤ After cleaning up any traces of her lipstick on him, she grabbed his hand. This event after all is full of old bats, and traditional, so she wanted both of them to look great. ❛ Let's go. ❜

❝careful and midori do not belong in the same sentence.❞ replied akihto with a low and throaty chuckle. he knew his sister wouldn't steer barbara too far into trouble. or so the green haired prince had hoped. may the odds be ever in his favor. ❝have you taken your melatonin gummies?❞ akihto asked, cupping the blonde's face with both hands; thumbs massaging her cheeks with care. he was well aware of barbara's struggle with insomnia and so, akihto tried his best to aid the hungarian princess with herbal medicine and a healthier approach to lifestyle. ❝might have to skip the champagne and settle for green tea smoothies but everything else we can do.❞ he smiled, squeezing her hand supportively; akihito forever the anchor that steadied her. ❝lead the way, barbie.❞
