Deimos stays at Katara's side for the whole night and unexpectedly he falls asleep while being just by her side, and two days later she is still not awake from sleeping. The game is starting soon, everything is already set up.
He told his brother Desmond about what happened to her, even though he didn't want her to participate in the game he couldn't just decide for her. He already offered help and she declined it, and that means she really wants to participate. It seems like she had a goal. When professor Alan asks for her presence Desmond already told him that she is training by herself, it's not a big deal.
No one should know that she's staying inside his room, it would be controversial especially since she's also part of the selection. If everyone knows, she might really end up marrying him and he can't let that happen. It's not that he didn't want to marry her, but this selection is already an economic preposition. He can't marry her if she doesn't want to…
He decided to stay in his room and take a seat beside his bed where Katara is and the window. He opened his book and began to read it, he crossed his legs and for the meantime he took a glance at Katara. He should be here if she wakes up.
Katara slowly regains her consciousness, she gradually unfurls her eyes. At first all she can see is a blurred image, unlike before she fainted she feels more energy now. She moves her fingers and takes it so she can manage to do it. She examines her own body if something is wrong, instead of feeling pain she feels her body is light as a feather. She felt something energy flowing in her body and she felt she's so powerful, her vision finally came back vividly. She quickly got up and inspected the place where she is, she's expecting that she's still at the greenhouse but she's not. She's lying on a soft king size bed, she looks around. The room is massive, she can see a mini library inside, a living room, and a mini office. As she continued, her eyes landed on the man who's besides her.
She saw the crown prince leaning on the wall in the window, he's holding a book that in seconds will fall to the ground and he's sleeping. She removed the comforter on her and gently moved her feet out of the bed. She notices that she's wearing a white sleeping dress, it's not a big deal who changes her clothes because she knows that Deimos will never do that. She stood up carefully not to wake Deimos up and get the books he's holding. She tiptoed towards him, she extended her hand and she was about to get the book when it was too late because the book had already fallen.
It creates a sound, she looks at the prince if he wakes up but he's not. She continued to get the book, she bent and held it. She picked up the book and was about to stand straight when she saw the crown prince's face, she stopped and then looked at him. His legs cross, he looks so elegant in his royal black suits. His hair was down and messy, it's her first time seeing his hair messy. Usually he's hair is well styled, his lips are pinkish. Damn did he use something on his face? Why is he so blessed? Hope all are blessed by the above, he has this face that you can't get tired of looking for. He's gorgeous, is this true? She mean, is this really real? this face looks like a face of an god. He is undeniable stunning, words are not enough to express his beauty.
Katara slowly places her index finger on his cheeks to feel if he's true, she slowly pokes his face.
"You're really handsome, I bet you future children are too." She whispered, she was about to stop when the prince suddenly held her hand. She tilted because she was a bit surprised, she didn't know what to do. She checks if he's already awake, and thank god he is not. She was about to recover her hand but then the prince placed it to his face and then he smiled as if she gave him comfort. She didn't expect that, but then she felt warm in her heart as she saw the face of the prince looking so peaceful while sleeping. She placed her palm on the other side of his face. She caressed kindly and then smiled. Even though he's asleep, she finds him adorable.
Deimos wakes up and finds Katara isn't on his bed anymore, he is alert and immediately mobilaze himself to find her. He immediately inspected the entire room, checked every corner and when he opened the door in his fitting room he found himself double folded by what he saw.
Katara takes a bath, she sees a dress in the other room and other accessories. The dress has a color of gold, made of silk and animal fur. It was too elegant for her but she didn't have any choice since she smelled bad for not taking a bath for several a days. After she took a bath, she started to wear the clothes she found. While changing suddenly she saw the crown prince in the mirror who's standing at her back. She's not that totally naked, she already wears the first part of the dress and she's currently struggling with her corset.
The prince look stunned and dumble folded, he immediately turn around. He felt heat from his neck to his head, her ears is so freaking hot. He is trying to compose himself, he didn't know what to do! Is she will get mad?! Will she kick his eyes? He silently cleared his throat first before speaking, he also takes a deep breath.
"I apologize for my interruption." He apologize, Katara turn around to look at him. He feels her eyes on her, she's mad for sure!
"No it's okay, could you please help me?" She requested, Deimos eyes widened. What? is she not mad at him?!
"W-What?!" He hysterically uttured, Katara immediately realized that she's not in a modern world. But it doesn't matter, she needs help. Unlike her clothes she's already familiar with it, and this one is not.
"I need help, but if you can't. Can you please call someone?" She begged, the prince bit his lower lips and stepped forward. He hesitated at first but she needed help that's why. His hand is honestly trembling, he never become so nervous before. He never tremble while facing enemies in the battlefield, he never felt so scared and overthink. Damn! the power of Ave had over him is much more than he thinks, no one can make him tremble. No one, unless it's Ave.
"May I?" He ask for permission firsts.
"Yes, please."
He held the lace of her corset after he calm himself and then started to tie it in each button, he prevented himself from raising his chin. He looked down and the whole fitting room filled with silence but Katara didn't feel any awkwardness or uncomfortable feelings in fact she felt peace. Katara just looks at herself in the mirror, she also stares at the crown prince obviously trying to avoid gazes and touching her inappropriately. She felt his finger brushing through her dress, she felt something strange to her skin. Despite of the fabric separating between his finger on her skin, she felt his touch vividly. It felts like he's touching all over of her body. She ignores what she feels and started to speak.
"Thank you for taking care of me, I don't know how to pay you back but I'll give my best." Katara speaks first to ease the silence.
"No, you don't have too. The healers and doctor said you fainted because of exhaustion, are you feeling alright now?" He asks as he continues what he's doing.
"Yeah, I felt okay right now. So don't worry."
"Are you really gonna participate?"
"Yes, and I'm glad I woke up before the game started." Katara saw the prince's expressions, he was worried and most of all he unconsciously pouted his lips.
She can't help but chuckle.
"I am strong, your highness, so you can rest assured." The crown prince pulled the lace to make her corset tight, and Katara bit her lips.
"How can I rest assured? Is this alright?" He asks gently if that tight in her corset is just enough, Katara nodded. Deimos continue, he was use to see tiny woman's waistline. They use a corset to display the curve of their body, but he never felt a strong urge to touch someone waist and feel it. He wanted to touch Ave waist, he wanted to wraps his fingers around them. But he can't, he can't do that. It will probably make her uncomfortable, and the last thing he wanted to do now is to frighten her.
"Oh, I forgot but I am borrowing this dress." She informed, the prince snapped. As he realized what Katara says, he knotted his forehead.
"No, I bought this for you. So you don't have to borrow it, it's yours."
"Oh really? Then send me the bill. So I can pay you…"
"Did you not listen? I give it to you Ave, so don't bother paying me." Katara takes a deep breath and doesn't have a choice. As they continue, Katara feels the warm breath of the prince on her back. Something inside her feels unexplainable again, it's like there's butterflies in her stomach.
She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself, suddenly the prince spoke from her back. What the? the, she can't help but close her eyes. His warm breath sending a tingling sensation to her body.
"You smelled good." He whispered.
Deimos can smell her sweet scents, she uses his soft so she smelled like him but more gentle and sweeter. It was like he owns her already because of his scents, for unknown reasons he can't help but to smile. Damn!
"Really? I use your bath soft, we have the same fragrance now." Katara responded casually and sniffed herself as if she didn't feel electricity running to her skin.
"Yeah, it's combined perfectly."
"Yeah, perfectly…"
