Girls Go Crazy for Boy-on-Boy Action

“Oh, that reminds me. Will you take these for me, Lizzie?”

Here I was, again, in the crown prince’s all-too-familiar office. I couldn’t believe that half of my day off had already been wasted accompanying Edward on an early morning shopping spree.

I desperately tried to stifle a yawn as I looked at the paper bag that Edward was presenting to me. Stuffed inside were lace crocheted coasters, capes, and all sorts of other goods that the crown prince had apparently handmade himself. I even spotted some crocheted stuffed animals.

What’s he planning to do with all of these? I wondered. I took the bag from him and was surprised by how hefty it was.

“Uh, Your Highness?” I asked, hesitantly. “What am I supposed to do with this?”

“I made far too much. There’s nowhere for me to put it all, so I’m giving it to you.”

“I see...” I said, despite not actually seeing the logic at all. What use could I possibly have for all these cute little stuffed animals and lacey capes? They’d just get stuffed away in a closet somewhere and forgotten about.

“Don’t you think this is a bit much?” I tried.

“Consider them mementos. It’ll give you something to remember me by when I’m gone.”

I could feel myself frowning. I can’t believe he’s trying to make me feel sorry for him. I’m the one who’s actually suffering here. I was also getting really tired of him playing the whole I’ll-be-dead-soon card. I needed to put an end to this.

“You’re free to believe whatever you want, but I’ve made up my mind. I’m not buying into all this stuff about your days being numbered,” I said.

Edwards eyes shot wide open as he stared back at me. I continued, undeterred, as if I’d only been stating the obvious. “You trust the royal physician over me, right? Well, I don’t think that’s any different to me trusting my gut over you.”

“You’re out of line.”

“If it’s out of line to have faith in Your Highness’s longevity, then by all means, punish me for it,” I said, shrugging. Edward fell silent. “Of course, you should probably keep in mind that I was never supposed to know about your illness in the first place. I look forward to seeing how you sidestep that little problem when you mete out my punishment.”

“I never realized you were so conniving.”

“Well, now you know.”

It seemed like I’d legitimately offended him, but it didn’t take long for his huffing to subside. In mere moments, he was breaking out into a quiet, bitter laugh.

Now it was my turn to be offended. Who looks right into someone’s eyes and laughs at them? I thought, perturbed. If you ask me, that’s out of line.

“Forgive me. It’s just...you said that so brazenly, I couldn’t help but laugh,” he said, then paused thoughtfully. “Maybe I was getting ahead of myself with all that puffery about mementos. But the truth is, you’re the only person I can share this secret with.”

Dammit. I’d dug myself into a hole again.
