Jylan also had to do the same to Sebastian - his chin was resting on the prince's shoulder, close to his neck, and his breath was so close Sebastian could feel the warmth on his neck. He held his breath as if moving would somehow shatter whatever was going on. Then the ropes fell off, and Sebastian jumped up, sending the butler flying backward.
Feeling a bit bad, he helped Jylan get up, but just then the door to the carriage was thrown open, illuminating both of them in a glimmer of daylight.
This time, Jylan's pocket knife was taken away, and they were both thrown onto the carriage again, the knots tighter and this time right on top of each other, with their faces and bodies squished together.
"..."
"Well, uh, butler, how long are we going to be here…?" Sebastian asked awkwardly. Their faces were right next to each other, and Sebastian could see the individual lines in the butler's irises.
"Perhaps a few days, My Prince. I don't know either." Jylan said. As he blinked, Sebastian could now see every individual eyelash on his eyes and the slight creases on his eyelids.
Then, without thinking, Sebastian blurted, "I wouldn't mind that, Butler."
Jylan blinked again, and finally, Sebastian realized what he had just said.
"WAIT! NO! BUTLER!" Sebastian yelled, but Jlylan was already laughing. Now Sebastian could see all of his teeth and the single strand that had broken free from the rest of his hairstyle and was now hanging between his eyes.
"BUTLERRRRRRR!" Sebastian yelled, again, and Jylan only continued to laugh. Finally, after a few minutes, Jylan stopped laughing and leaned in slightly closer to Sebastian. Now the stray strand of hair was touching Sebastian's forehead.
"I wouldn't mind either, My Prince."
