《Forced?》

‌

"You really think this is a good idea?"

"Nope."

"Good. I'd be very concerned if you did.' I heaved out fake sigh and stared into her olive toned eyes. pretty.

"Me too. Now shut up and do your work." she whisper-yelled at me as both of our eyes roamed around us.

A fully crowded royal ball. Everyone dancing with their partners, and here we are. My arms neatly wrapped around her delicate waist, the only barrier being the soft fabric of her dress. All the eyes were definitely not on us, but many were. "There are atleast 30 of them. You sure you can take atleast half of them?"

"Half? Oh princess, don't question my abilities like that. I could finish all of these lowly 'fighters' in no matter of time with still holding you like this." my lips tugged up into a smirk leading her to roll her eyes at me.

"First of all, too bold of you to assume I'm a princess. Secondly, you have no useful weapons on you and they have all sorts of them. Only a fool would dare to fight them like that." "You have already got me a fool by making me fall for you princess."

"For the last time, I'm not a princess!" "Woah woah, chill down. We both know that I'm gonna call you that no matter what so you just better deal with this. Or you know where my hidden blade is." "I know. It's right against my back. You don't have to worry about that. But you should be aware of what's around your menhood too."

"What..." my eyes slowly travelled down. "Uh huh, eyes up here Mr. Smarty pants. You can't see it, you just have to feel it." "You are one hell of a threat eh? Nice try princess. Now how about we focus on our plan instead of trying to kill eachother?" "I was about to say that. But don't you dare make it awkward or get ahead of yourself! I'm doing this solely for the sake of my mother."

"As if I ain't." rolling my eyes I scanned over the room again. Yep, over 20 pairs of eyes in total, all of them on us. I sighed as brought my eyes back to her. Taking ahold of the eye contact, she gave me the signal, telling me it's time.

‘if this won't happen, then both of us dies. Goddamn mother why did you had to do this to me!!’ my mind stormed into its unreasonable thought again.

But, pushing my internal thoughts aside, I took a deep breath without anyone's notice. "Let's do this.." mumbling my saying I drifted my eyes over to her lips. Her rose pink lips were slightly trembling.. she is as nervous as me I guess? The music switched to a slow one and the lights in the grand hall changed colours, making it... romantic. This is getting more and more awkward !!

I lightly shook my head and brought my attention back to her. Her eyes were telling me something totally different than what she was showing. She wanted this. Her eyes shined in an excitement I've never seen in all this time of us growing up together. I nodded at her as my hands around her waist pulled her closer, resulting in our bodies getting pressed against each other. In the air full of a sudden tention between us, she nodded, giving me 'permission'. Yeah that's what she'd call it.

It had to be done and I just wanted it to be done with. With the known assassins around us who were ready to kill us right instant if we won't do it, I lifted up my hand and placed it on her cheek, holding it as gently as possible.

My eyes again flicked over to her eyes, and with the intense holding of eye contact, I ducked my head down. Right then she closed her eyes. Ashamed? Scared? Embarrassed? I will never know. My eyes closed too, and that's when I felt it.

Her feather soft lips on mine. They were trembling, but as soon as mine touched hers, they stopped. It was as if time have stopped and so have my breathing. All I could hear was nothingness. It was as if the warmth from her lips radiated throughout my body. I felt very hot, in the freezing cold of January.

Our lips moved over each other's in sync. She forgot to keep in the show that she hated it and raised her arms up to slowly hang them around my neck. It was driving me crazy. With the magical collapse of our lips together along with the calm music playing in the background, I now was sure of what I wanted and what I desired all along. I soon heard her breath running fast.. HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN INTO IT FOR HER TO RUN OUT OF BREATH!?? My heart raced faster than ever, acknowledging the fact that I have to face her right after we break out of this magical happening.

My heart sanked. Not because I realised I was running short on breath too, but because I realised I had fallen for the girl I never should have. The acknowledgement of the fact that she is most likely to be someone else's ate me up. I felt my world crashing down. I was happy we shared our first kiss, but it still wasn't enough to ease up my sudden unexpected wound of knowing I won't be her last one.

I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I knew it was her, signalling she's out of breath. My lips parted away from hers, my eyes still closed. I knew hers were too. My ears captured the soft breathing of her's in. She was trying to catch her breath as well.. wow.

Right then a huge group of claps were ringing against my ears. I shot open my eyes, just to face her red face and everyone around us clapping. Shit. This is not ok. I looked at her delicate and beautiful self, still held close in my arms. She was all red.. maybe out of embarrassment? I've heard my sister say many times that a female's first kiss is very important to her. Right then she opened her eyes, staring at me with those pretty olive coloured eyes of hers, making me feel things I never should have felt.

I quickly stepped away from her. The guilt and sadness took over me as our eyes met. She had a questioning look in her eyes, which was pretty normal of her's to have. Unable to speak up due to the limp I felt in my throat, I gave her an apologic look and bowed slightly before running away to God knows where.

Indeed I heard her calling out for me from the behind, but it was of no use.
