Am I bored? Yes- do I wanna start a rp-? Also yes-

He keeps playing with her hair, seeming to relax more and more. A slight blush crept up on his face, I love more then just her hair…

Meg sighs, relaxing quite a bit as well. “You are so gentle.”

He laughs softly, “Oh? Well…good to know…I do try to be…”

Meg chuckles, still enjoying the touch.

He pauses for a moment, then gently kisses her forehead. “E-excuse me for that…” He mutters.

Meg froze, her face turning red before she looks back up at Aaron. “Why did you do that?” she whispers.

His face goes red. “I…guess i was just acting on impulses…” he blushes more. That wasn’t going to help! He sighs and hides his face.

Meg shakes her head. “Why did you have any impulse to kiss me?”

He goes silent, trying to get rid of his blush.

“I…I apologize…” he whispers.

Meg sighs and sits back. “That's… not an answer.” she comments softly.

He grumbles softly, rubbing her face. He sighs after a while, “I…like you…a lot…I just didn’t know how to tell you…”

Meg’s blush returned in full force at the confession, looking away. “I… I like you too.” she whispers. “But I don't what you could like about me and I know I don't have any right to feel this way about you.”

He laughs, “You’re kidding right? It’s your feelings…you have rights to feelings.” He sighs, “And besides…I like you as a whole person…you’re smart…kind, funny…you make me smile…and you’re so talented! And as a plus you are so incredibly beautiful…that’s the cherry on top…”

Meg sighs and shakes her head. “I think you just described yourself, though I'm glad I can make you smile.” she admits, still blushing. “Besides, you're the prince. I do like you as a person… You're so… wonderful and warm-hearted. But… Do you really think that the daughter of a baker and a dead carpenter would be… worth anything?” she asks, her voice trailing off.

He slowly sits up, “My dear…you are worth everything just by being you…I don’t care about wealth or land if that’s what you’re thinking of. I care about who the person is. I love you. Not what you have…” he blushes once he said love.

Meg trembles at his words. She hasn't felt this vulnerable since her father died… and she was hoping to never feel that way again but there was something so endearing about Aaron that she didn't even notice when he made it past her walls. He made her smile, made her laugh, and was possibly the sweetest person she had ever known. “I… I love you too.” she whispers as her face burns red.

He blinks, then smiles warmly. A soft look gleaned in his eyes. All I wanna do now if protect her… He bites his lip and looks away, rubbing his face and trying to get rid of his redness. God he loved this girl…He loved the way she talked, the way she acted, he loved everything. His blush only grew darker as he thought about her.

Meg closed her eyes and tried to calm down, though the tears were already threatening to fall. It was just so hard for her to believe that someone could care about her so much… That someone other than a family member could love her.

Aaron took notice of her state and hugs her, holding her tightly. “Please…those tears break my heart…” He mutters, running his hand through her hair comfortingly.

Meg let him pull her close, leaning into his touch. “I’m sorry. I just…” she replies through shaking breaths. “I… I just… I’m not worth it.”

He sighs, “Never say that…never say you’re not worth it. Especially around me. And there is absolutely no reason to be sorry. Your feelings are valid and important to me. You are important to me…my dear I would do anything for a jewel like you…”

She buries her face against his shoulder. “Thank you.” she whispers, blushing at the new epithet. No one had ever called her a jewel before, much less make such a promise.

He hums softly, “Anything for you…” He rests his chin on top of her head. “You deserve the world…” He mutters.

If Aaron’s head hadn't been on hers, Meg would have shaken her head. “You are too kind to me.” she says softly. “All I want right now is for you to get better.”

He smiles, “Well then…I better get busy, yes?” He chuckles softly, gently kissing the top of her head.

Meg chuckles softly and kisses his cheek in return.

He hums softly, sighing with content. He felt so safe with this girl…he just hoped she felt the same way. “I will do everything in my power to protect you…” He mumbles softly.

She was blushing again, from the fact that she actually kissed Aaron. “And if there’s anything I can do to help you, please let me know.” she insisted. “I want to help you too.”

He chuckles, “Just you living is helping me in so many ways…” He whispers. He kisses her forehead.

Meg chuckles softly and shakes her head. “I’m serious. I want to help you get better.”
