            “I don’t like it when you keep secrets from me.” Princess Red tells her guard. Lance does not say a word as she kneels, uniform of white pristinely clean and silversteel wings folded neatly behind her back.

            “I mean, it’s almost as if you don’t trust me, and I don’t like that at all.”

            “My Princess…”

            “I worry about you, you know!” She bursts out. “I know that it’s your mission in life to protect me, but don’t you care about me at all? The real me?”

            Lance’s head snaps up, and her golden eyes are filled with pain. “Princess…”

            “I didn’t even know you almost died shielding me from those poisoned darts until I heard the other guards talking about it…”

            “Princess…”

            “Lance… why do you make me worry so?”

            “Your life is worth so much more than mine, Princess.” Lance says, and it’s the truth, but it’s not what Red wants to hear.

            “Do you love me?”

            “W-What?” Faint pink tints her cheeks.

            “You do, don’t you?”

            “I… I cannot presume to…”

            “Shh.” Red puts her hands on Lance’s shoulders, pulls her upwards until she’s standing, and kisses her.

            Lance colors, but she makes no move to stop. “P-Princess…”

            “Trust me. And let me trust you.” Red whispers, as she wraps her arms around Lance’s chest, feeling smooth, muscled flesh.

            She smiles, and as Lance follows her into the bedroom, she vows to keep this secret.

I can’t believe I fainted in karate today. *Cries* I hate my Lexapro!

I’ve noticed that every themes list has at least one theme having to do with secrets.

Lance: Hmmm

Red: ^^

Phantomness: *Yawns*
