Date Night

M Young Included: M, Jane

“I am sorry i’m so late,” Jane greeted, pressing a quick kiss to his cheek. M blinked, he would never be used to the instant transmission thing she did. A second ago M was alone in the kitchen searching for a packet of crisps to munch when Jane appeared. “I am all for being comfortable but I don't think sweats would pass the dress code,” she said eyes raking over M, an appreciative hum escaping her lips. M scratched the back of his neck, he still had to pinch himself when it came to her. “Now as much as I love the view, if we want to go on our date you need to get ready,” she said with a laugh.

M looked away from chewing on his bottom as he tried to figure out how to tell Jane they had long missed their reservation. “Babe,” M started as Jane’s eyebrow quirked up. “Have you been outside in the last couple of hours?” he asked, not liking the way Jane’s face fell.

“It hasn’t been that long right?” she asked. M sighed, he was sure Jane already knew the answer. “Shit,” she said glancing at the clock on the oven. “I am so so sorry, i lost track of time, everything had been going so well but then that company got involved and just ruined everything like they always do, i swear one day i am going to burn there building down,” she said, M wasn’t used to seeing her this annoyed - well at anything that wasn’t his best friend. Oh shit was the company Star Labs, he was 99.99 percent sure that it wasn’t but maybe Minah swayed Jane and Sungjae into working together for something.

“Don’t do that, not that I don't appreciate you dabbling into new interests even if it is arson, i just don’t think i am cut to be a prison hubby,” he said in mock seriousness, earning a giggle from Jane. “But in all seriousness it’s all good, we can always go out for dinner another time,” he said, Jane huffed shaking her head with a bitter chuckle escaping her lips. “No no none of that,” M said, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a hug.

“You aren’t mad?” Jane asked. “Most men wouldn’t like their girlfriend spending so much time with their ex,” she said resting her chin on her shoulder. “I wouldn’t blame you if you were,” she mumbled.

“Well i can’t say i love it, he is pretty handsome but i am not worried, its your job, your clients wouldn’t last a minute without you,” M said trying not to laugh as Jane nodded, hair tickling his neck.

“Honestly you have no idea,” she said pulling away from M. “You really aren’t upset about me ruining our date night?” she asked softly.

“One who said our date night is ruined?” M asked raising. “And two i am really not upset about anything though i think i am going to buy you a good old fashioned muggle watch so you don’t lose track of time,” he said. Jane opened her mouth to apologize again but M stopped her with a kiss.

“Why don’t you go wash up and change it something more comfortable, i’ll muster up something for us to eat and then we can have our date night,” he said. Jane murmured a fine heading towards the staircase.

—-

“So this is nice,” Jane said as she walked into the dining area. M nodded from the kitchen, he was a tiny bit proud of what he had managed in that half an hour. Unfortunately they did not have a ton of options, their grocery shop was long overdue but he did manage to whip up a simple beef stirfry with what they had. He had set the table making sure to use Jane’s favorite dining set and wine glasses. He used the candles his mother had bought home after her last trip to light the room, he had no idea what the scent was, something floral, but it was nice “That being said, should you have been cooking shirtless?” she asked, sipping on her wine.

“Strictly speaking no,” M chuckled placing a the plates down. “There were a few near misses,” he said, he had to dodge some oil spitting up from the pan. “But somehow i’ve managed to escape with zero injuries, must be because i was cooking for you,” he said .

Despite rolling her eyes there was no denying the smile on Jane’s face. “You are lucky i love you otherwise this cheesiness would be too much ” she muttered, shaking her head. “Anyway, why were you up when I got back?”

“Because I missed you,” M said with a big cheesy smile trying not to laugh at the face Jane pulled. “Nah i was watching a movie while going over the books but then got sucked into the movie,” he said.

“So you weren’t waiting for me?” Jane pouted. “So much for feeling special,” she teased.

M laughed. “Well how about we watch a movie after this, you pick but if it is french movie please have the subtitles added my French is still so so,” he said.

“Fine, I will suffer from subtitles that usually miss a bunch of context and cover half off the screen,” Jane said. “But don’t say that you are getting so good at it,” Jane praised. “But if you want, I know a spell that will help,” she offered. M shook his head, no he wanted to prove that he can learn on his own without magic.

“Nope, I am going to learn it by myself,” M said. “The muggle way,” he said.

The Bet

Part One Included: Mark, Tara, Minah, Jane, Tyler, Daniel Mentioned: M, Sungjae

The Beginning

Mark Yang was a thoughtful man. Not one to just come out a rip the proverbial band-aid off. Someone who approached topics with as much thought and care as they deserved. Straight to the point but tactful -

“So who is Jane dating?” Tara blinked owlishly at Mark wondering how or why Jane and her apparent love life was a topic of conversation. They had a strict no talking about their friend's love life during their own dates after the great Minjae debate of 2018 so for Mark to bring Jane up in the middle of their wonderful picnic date was odd. Especially since Tara was mid-rant about her crippling case of writer’s block.

“What?”

“I just need to know so i can start preparing Jaehyun,” he said. Tara continued to stare at her boyfriend as if he had grown a second head. What in the world was he talking about? “I know we said not to meddle but -” he continued. The no meddling rule Tara had broken several times and will probably continue to break because her friends seemed to have the emotional range of a teaspoon.

“Mark i honestly have no idea what you are talking about,” she said after a minute. “As far as i know Jane is still very much single,” she said thinking back to if Jane had given indication she was even considering dating again last time they had met up for drinks. As far as she could recall Jane was far too busy with work to even look at another guy. NCT’s world tour had only just wrapped up and they were already planning new comeback with that alone Jane’s time was more than occupied never mind her other clients. She was sure Tyler mentioned several interviews and events he had on the calendar.

“Haven’t you noticed that she is always smiling at her phone?” Mark questioned. Tara raised an eyebrow at the almost frantic tone that snuck in at the end. How long had Mark been thinking about this? She knew that Jane’s break-up with Jaehyun had affected the boys, Mark especially since he felt like he was trying to be as impartial as possible.

“Maybe she just got a nice message,” Tara suggested taking a sip of her iced tea. “Or a funny clip popped up on her feed,” she added. Mark raised an eyebrow, jaw clenching as he looked at Tara unimpressed. “Come on Mark, half of your team have been in non-existent dating scandals because they smiled at their phone,” she defended as Mark let out a huff.

“Then why is she acting all secretive,” He whined. “I ask her to hang out she is always busy and when i ask what she is doing its always ah nothing interesting,” he said eyes narrowing. “I know you don’t believe me but i know -” Mark said.

“I believe you but i just - the only people she hangs out with these days is Minah and maybe occasionally M,” she said as Mark’s eyes widened

“No,” Tara said raising a hand, they were just friends. “She wouldn’t right? I mean is attractive but he isn’t her type,” she said. “Right? No,” she said shaking her head. She was letting Mark get to her. “ They are just friends who are forced to hang out because their best friends are dating,” she said. That was it no one wanted to third wheel to Minjae. Except for maybe her brother or Daniel but that was merely to sabotage them.

“I hope not,” Mark said glumly. “Like M is a cool guy but Jaehyun is my bro, like my bro bro ,” he commiserated.

“One more bro and our date is over Mark,” Tara joked though her mind was elsewhere. Did she miss M and Jane falling for each other? She wasn’t oblivious, she would never Sungjae this type of thing.

The Bet

“Next time we should go to the Tiffany exhibit,” Minah said fanning herself with her program as Tara and herself walked out of the Saatchi Yates exhibit.

“You say that as if you aren’t already on the VIP list for the opening, aren’t you an ambassador for them?” Tara laughed. Minah shrugged there was a difference between going to an exhibit as a guest versus going with a dear friend and being able to analyse the art critically. “Do you have anything planned for the rest of the day or are you up for a little shopping?”

“Depends on what we are shopping for? Does it have something to do with Mark being back?” Minah teased. Tara shook her head looking down, a small smile on her lips and a light flush on her cheeks. “Oh it does,” Minah grinned. “Great i was looking to buy something new,” she said. She had a date night with Sungjae and he still hadn’t recovered from the last time she pulled an outfit from her secret closest so she should play it safe.

“It’s not like that,” Tara laughed. “The Black’s charity gala is coming up and i need something for it,” Tara explained. Minah nodded, vaguely remembering getting invited to the very same event. She had yet to RVSP to the event but it could be a chance for Sungjae to network and it was a great excuse to get him to wear a suit. She was drawn out of her thoughts by Tara’s stomach rumbling. “But first some lunch,” she murmured looking down.

—

“Do you know if Jane is coming to the Gala?” Tara asked sipping on her wine.

“I am not sure,” Minah said with a shrug. “Let me check maybe we can convince her to take a break and come with us,” she said pulling out her phone and dialling Jane’s number.

“Hey babe,” Minah said as Jane picked up, Jane’s face lighting up Minah’s screen. “Tara and I are out for lunch, say hi,” she said turning her phone around to face Tara who waved.

“And where was my invite?” Jane laughed. “Or did you just ring to make me jealous,”

“Obviously, “ Minah teased. “But no are you going to the Black Gala?” Minah asked. “Wait are you at the cafe?” Minah asked eyes noting the all too familiar window panel and what looks like its menu.

“Yes and yes,” Jane laughed. “Wait I’ll get M to say hi,” she said. Minah looked across to see Tara raising an eyebrow. Minah sat waiting as she saw and heard Jane’s part of the conversation. If she didn’t know better she would think Jane was flirting with M, the hair flipping, the giggles and did she just pout. Seconds later M’s face filled the screen, well half of it did it was very clear that Jane was still controlling the phone and they were sitting very closely.

“Hi Minah, Hey Tara,” M said with a bashful smile and shy wave before disappearing leaving a frowning Jane.

“I wish that boy would take a break, he hasn’t stopped all week,” she said shaking her head. Minah snorted, how very typical of Jane to notice other people needed a break but not that she did.

“Sounds like someone i know,” Minah said.

“Please tell me you are not comparing M to Sungjae again, what has he ever done to you Minah,” Jane joked, Minah hoped.

“Anyway Tara and I are going shopping after this and i was wondering if the promise of beautiful gowns and champagne could get you away from the office,” Minah asked.

“Sadly no,” Jane frowned. “Speaking of the office i better get back,” she sighed. “I’ll talk to you later,” she said hanging up.

“So Jane is spending alot of time at the cafe,” Tara hummed.

“I guess,” Minah said looking at Tara as if she had grown a second head. “I wish she’d stop It’s bad enough i have a coffee addict as a boyfriend, i am beginning to worry about Jane, the amount of caffeine she has to keep up with work,” she whined.

“Hmm,” Tara said, face scrunching up. Minah raised an eyebrow hmm, someone clearly didn’t know what it was like to have a boyfriend whose blood type was probably Espresso. “Okay so Mark has this theory,” she started.

“About Sungjae’s dependency on coffee, i am pretty sure its related to his mother,” Minah said fisting scrunching up as she thought about that wretched woman.

“No,” Tara said shaking her head. “Mark thinks Jane is dating someone new,” she said. Minah nose twitched in annoyance. Where did that even come from? If Jane was dating someone Minah would surely know.

“I know it seems like such a random statement but Mark had some evidence,” Tara continued.

“Evidence?” Minah snorted. “What is this a court case, I know Mark is close with Jaehyun but if they think they can start -”

“No one is starting anything,” Tara said quickly. “He just noticed that she was smiling at her phone a lot more now,” she said. Minah shrugged, she smiled at her phone at all the time, atleast 25 percent of the time it wasn’t related to Sungjae at all. “And that she is always busy,” she continued, Minah rolled her eyes ofcourse she was busy she worked. “And she is keeping more secrets,”

“None of this is proving anything,” Minah pointed out.

“But when you add she has been at the cafe everyday this week and that she was flirting with M during that call,” Tara pointed out.

“You sound very judgemental right now,” Minah said as Tara shook her head with a laugh.

“Minah i would never judge Jane for dating, I just do you think they are?” She asked.

. Minah blinked tilting her as she thought about it. Jane and M did spend a lot of time together but they were friends and according to Jane no one in London could make an Irish Coffee as good as M did. Normally she would call out that excuse but M’s coffee was magical - no pun intended. Admittedly despite being so busy with work and having an awkward situation to deal with at work Jane did seem lighter than she had in months.

“They aren’t dating,” Minah said finally. She knew if Jane was dating someone she would tell Minah without a doubt. “Yet,” she added, if Jane liked M then they would become a thing, that Minah as sure off.. “And would it be bad if Jane and M were to become a thing?” Minah asked. Apart from M being a muggle, she couldn’t really see any issues with them becoming a couple. There might even be some perks, like Jane and Sungjae getting along.

“No,” Tara answered immediately. “They’d be cute, lets's hope that if there is a thing between M asks Jane out quickly, i can’t have another pining couple in our friendship group,” she said. Minah glared at her playfully, she would rather people didn’t bring up the communications issues Sungjae and herself seemed to have.

“Ignoring that last part but M is far too shy to ask Jane out, like always women are gonna have to do all the work,” Minah rolled her eyes. “Trust me, any bet Jane will have to ask him out,” she said shaking her head.

“Any bet,” Tara said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Upping the stakes

“You look exhausted,” Tara said with a laugh as Tyler dredged into the living room. “12 am training session not agreeing with you,” she teased.

“Why are you up?” Tyler shot back falling onto the couch landing thud, Tara had luckily moved her feet in time. “And i could handle it if it was just 12 am training but i can't handle the mix, Tuesday he had us out there at 3 o’clock in the morning and the next training session at 8 on the same day,” he whined. He was all for sporadic training to keep their tactical secrets the last thing they needed was their competitors sneaking into a training session but some consistency would be nice.

“I was doing a writing sprint, it didn’t go well, i took a break and i am now watching - well i don’t really know,” Tara laughed looking at the screen, blinking as she took in the woman throwing her wine at another woman. Tyler snorted waving his wand at the tv and turning it off.

“I don’t know what that was but it's certainly not going to help you,” He said shaking his head. “Go get some sleep T,” he said throwing a cushion down at Tara.

“I would but i just downed three cups of coffee,” Tara said stretching out nudging Tyler with her foot. Tyler rolled his eyes, swatting her foot away. While he supported Tara in everything but her dating choice he was beginning to seriously worry about her, why did the life of a writer have to be so unhealthy? How could people drink so much coffee to begin with?

“I am cutting you off,” Tyler huffed. “Even if i have to go to every cafe, fast food shop and service station i will make sure you have no more coffee,” he said. “Sungjae’s shop will be the first to go,” he said eyes narrowing at the thought of the mere thought of him. “The best thing is i won’t have even had to go there, i will just ask Jane too.”

“Why Jane?” Tara asked rolling her eyes.

“Because every time i see her she comes in with one of those cups,” he said nose scrunching up. “Do they not have reusable cups there? Do they not worry about the environment?” Tyler ranted as Tara threw the cushion back at him. “Point is i think Jane has some sway there and since i am her favourite client,” he boasted.

“Yeah right,” Tara snorted. “Keep telling yourself that,” Tyler didn’t need to tell himself that, it was a fact. He was everyone’s favourite. “But Jane always has that particular brand off coffee?” Tara asked leaning forward as if that was an interesting fact. She was probably trying to distract him.

“Tara you can try and distract but i’ve already had one roommate whose sleep pattern was completely fucked i will not let my sister follow suit,” Tyler said eyes narrowing at her. “But to answer your question yeah for the last couple of months, i thought that she was going to get me to endorse the brand which would never happen, Sure N is nice but i have a reputation to uphold and if i was going to be the face of a cafe it would be one that is a bit more classy,” he huffed.

“Did you just compare me to Daniel?” Tara’s asked face morphing into a look of disgust. “How could be so cruel to me?” she sniffed dramatically. “And interesting,” she said eyes lighting up.

“If you don’t want to be compared don’t act like him,” Tyler said poking Tara legs. “And i mean i guess but the deal never even happened, I think Jane just actually likes the coffee,” he said.

“Or she likes the person that makes it,” Tara said as Tyler raised an eyebrow.

“Pretty sure she hates Sungjae as much as i do plus she wouldn’t betray Minah like that,” Tyler pouted. If she did it would certainly make things easier for him.

“Sungjae hasn’t worked at the cafe for years you know that,” Tara said as Tyler shook his head. Why would he know that? “I was talking about M, we think Jane and M might be a couple,” she said.

“Right,” Tyler said slowly, wondering if he should care. “Who is we?”

“Mark , Minah and I,” Tara said. “Minah and I even have a bet, she thinks Jane is going to have to ask M out while i think M will ask her out,” she explained.

“Minah’s right,” Tyler said. “And no i am not just saying that, guys like M usually don’t end up with a woman like Jane,” Tyler shrugged. “You’ve seen her exes, he’d never believe she is into him unless she spells out to him,” Tyler said. To go from Gabe to that, though he supposes M was better than Jaehyun… just.

“Oh my god you two are so wrong,” Tara shook her head incredolously.

“T i’ve never been wrong in my life what are you talking about?”

“You’ve never been wrong in your life,” Tara said pausing between each word before laughing manically. Coffee really wasn’t that girls friend, he supposes he would need to stage an intervention to make sure this type of behaviour didn’t become the norm. “Ty be serious please,” she said.

“I am,” Tyler said. “You need to get some sleep T because you are losing it,”

“I am just stunned by that last one, never been wrong - tell me when you have been right?” Tara asked. Tyler became abundantly clear that sleep deprivation did weird things to people. It made his best friend attracted to troll and his sister - this. (Maybe Minah just needed a long nap to come to her senses.)

“Literally all the time,” Tyler said matter o’factly. “People just never take me seriously,” he hummed.

“If you are so sure do you want in on the bet?”

“I do like winning,” Tyler said. “But if i am going to bet i need it to be more than just that, we should try and figure out when they will get together,” he said nodding. He would have to do some research to make sure Minah and Tara weren’t having some mass hallucination.

“You are going to lose Ty,” Tara said in a sing-song voice. Tyler snorted she should have known better after all Tyler Lee was never wrong and Tyler Lee never lost.

—--

“Just go along with what i say,” Daniel whispered harshly to Tyler when he answered the phone

“Oh no Ty i am so sorry,” he said causing Tyler’s brows to furrow in confusion. “I am sorry Kairi can you tell your friend, i can’t make it today,” he said, Tyler could practically hear the pout. “Thanks and yeah i know but he is under so much pressure you know,” he continued. Tyler rolled his eyes as he continued to hear this one-sided conversation. “Why would he do that? You’ve watched too many dramas,” Tyler raised an eyebrow Daniel didn’t sound happy.

“Hang on I’ll call you back,” he said to Tyler. Tyler blinked looking at his phone shaking his head. He hadn’t expected his phone call to be met with that reception but then again he assumed that at 8 in the morning Daniel friends wouldn’t be a problem. Maybe it would have been easier to text him. It didn’t matter because within a few minutes Daniel’s face was illuminating his screen.

“We didn’t need to face time,” Tyler said when he answered seeing more of Daniel’s apartment than Daniel. “Is this an artistic choice?” he asked before Daniel finally got the phone focused on him.

“Why can’t these phones just focus on where they need to,” Daniel grumbled. “And why didn’t we need to face time, did you not miss my face?” Daniel pouted. “Actually know i can see why you didn’t you are looking a little,” Daniel paused. “Dishelved for what one in the afternoon?” he asked raising an eyebrow. “Long night?” he smirked.

“If you mean two surprise training sessions in 24 hours then yes its been an extremely long night,” Tyler answered with an eyeroll. Daniel frowned, eyes narrowing at him. He could already tell what was going to come, Daniel was giving him a very similar speech to what he gave Tara. “Anyway i didn’t get you in trouble with your model squad did i?”

“No,” Daniel said shortly, “You saved me from what sounds like a truly awful blind date,” Daniel said. “And why do you even need surprise training sessions your a seeker for crying out loud it’s not like the other side can copy that,” he ranted.

“I am the captain,” Tyler pointed out, “And do i tell you how to do your job?” he asked ignoring the literally all the time that came from Daniel. “Anyway we are getting off-topic there is a reason i called you”

“So it wasn’t that you missed me?” Daniel teased. “I am heartbroken Ty, i am going to have to search for a new best friend now,” he continued. ‘

“Sure you are,” Tyler said like he would be able to find a better best friend than Tyler. “Weird question but do you still follow Sungjae’s friends on Instagram?” he asked. Daniel didn’t answer straight away instead just stared at Tyler, maybe the connection was lost.

“Sungjae’s friend?” Daniel repeated. “Did they break up?” Daniel asked eyes lighting up in excitement. “ I knew i shouldn’t have let Celeste take my phone,” he grumbled.

“No they haven’t.. Yet,” Tyler said with a sigh. It was bound to happen at some point soon. “But you follow that M guy right?” he asked. Daniel tilted his head to the side.

“M,” He said before a grin broke out on his face. “Let me just get this right, you called me looking all sort of dishevelled not even asking how i am or telling me you missed me to ask about M?” he said before giggling. “Oh i see what is happening, Ty, you are so cute,” he grinned.

“We’ve been through this Daniel handsome, I am handsome,” Tyler said pinching the bridge of his nose. “And i have the distinct feeling that you don’t get what is happening at all,” he said.

“Someone has a boy crush,” Daniel said in a sing-song voice. “I gotta say I’m surprised by your choice but M is pretty cute,” he said nodding.

“Daniel i do not have a crush on M,” Tyler said through gritted teeth. “I am not into guys and even if i were he wouldn’t be it,” Tyler said.

“Oh, so you’ve thought of who you would be into if you were,” Daniel raised an eyebrow. “But fine let's say i believe you and you didn’t just crush my dreams of going on cute double dates with my bestfriend who just happens to be dating the love of my life's best friend, why do you want to know if i follow M?”

“I want to see if he has any pictures with Jane or pictures that match her,” he said.

“Your manager?” Daniel asked. “The blonde girl who is friends with -” he trailed off facing souring. “Why?”

“Tara and Minah think Jane and M are dating,” Tyler said. “They have a bet, I want in on this bet but you know me i don’t jump into things without researching it first so- “ he trailed. “Do you have his handle?” he asked.

“No,” Daniel said. “I did but my new management team took over my account and i now follow no one,” Daniel said with a shrug. “I can ask Emily, i think she follows him?” he added. Tyler pulled a face, the last thing he wanted to do was interact with Daniel’s cousin.

“No need,” Tyler said shaking his head.

Shaken not stirred

Included: Jane, Daniel, M Mentioned: Minah, Tyler

The Originals AU

Jane could feel eyes on her as soon as she stepped into the Menagerie, it was to be expected after all she stepping behind enemy lines. Tyler’s precious little ego had started yet another turf war and Daniel to her surprise didn’t back down from his challenge. She supposed it's a given, the last time she saw Daniel was centuries ago, it seemed even Tyler’s most loyal soldier knew when to jump ship. It’s a shame her best friend couldn’t see how useless loyalty to family like Tyler truly was.

Ignoring the whispers, curious glances and downright evil stares she made her way to the bar, noting the way the ocean of people seemed to part around her. It wasn’t a new feeling but it was because everyone was in awe of her not because she was a pariah. Sitting down on an empty bar stool, she was surprised to find the bartender was a human. She knew Daniel liked to invite humans to his little soiree but they usually were the drink not serving them.

“What can i get you?” The pretty little human asked. Jane quirked an eyebrow at the woman, an accent that would explain why this girl was seemingly so unaware of what was happening around her. That or she had been compelled to ignore everything. Either way, what a precarious situation the little human was in.

“A vodka martini,” Jane said glancing at the woman curiously as she made her drink, she was pretty, thin with brown eyes, brown hair and a flush to her pale skin but she was just missing a few appendages to be considered Daniel’s type so she wasn’t eye candy. Or so she thought until she noticed a man appear at the other end of the bar, his eyes flickering from Jane to the bartender. Ah, so she was eye candy after all.

“One vodka martini,” the bartender said as she handed Jane her drink.

“Thanks, cutie,” she said with a wink at the bartender who laughed in response. Jane smirked as she heard a growl, turning to Mr Growly and raising her glass. She knew shouldn’t be antagonizing anyone, after all she was just here for a night out but it was fun.

What was not fun was some newbie vampire with bright orange hair and tacky bohemian one-piece trying to hit her from behind. Jane frowned as some of her Martini spilled on her dress, how annoying. She counted to 10 in her mind to stop herself from ripping this bitch's head off, teasing was one thing but actual killing would take it too far - though given her ugly hair it might be considered a favour. “I am going to assume you are too mortified by your drunken antics that the apology is on its way,” she said wiping her dress.

“You shouldn’t be here, you and your family aren’t welcome here,” the orange-haired girl spat. Since Jane’s own family were long gone since she was going to assume that this deluded creature was talking about the Lee’s.

“Giselle if you are finished playing bouncer Joshua is looking for you,” And here was the other self-proclaimed king of New Orleans. Daniel Choi, of course physically he hadn’t changed but Jane could tell a Tyler free century had done wonders for him. Giselle scowled before sulking off back into the crowd. Leaving Jane with Daniel.

“Long time no see,” Jane offered.

“What are you doing here?” Now Jane was not expecting a warm welcome but the sheer amount of contempt in Daniel’s eyes surprised her. She supposed it was not wholly unexpected given Daniel and Tyler’s little turf war. A war Jane was silently hoping Daniel won.

“I’m bored, i need a drink and I’ve heard this is the best bar in this little city,” Jane listed off her fingers. “Look i just want to have a good time, you know i don’t get involved in these petty little battles, especially not on the behalf of Tyler Lee,” she stated.

“Oh yes i forgot about that you aren’t his biggest fan,” Daniel said tilting his head curiously at Jane. “Look I’m heading back to the VIP section you are more than welcome to come along,” he said swirling around and walking off in the opposite direction not even checking to see if Jane is following, either too indifferent or too arrogant to care. Jane considered following after him but considering one of his followers had attacked her she’d rather not get to know the rest of his crew.

Deciding to go the other direction Jane found herself heading to one of the building's many balconies. Unfortunately the balcony Jane ended up on was occupied by a mangled dead body, the scent of blood was strong enough that Jane’s eyes darkened and fangs began to ache. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted what she assumed was the killer. Taking in the dishevelled appearance of the man, blood stains covered his skin and clothes, he rocked back and forth eyes not leaving the body. “Leave, it’s not safe,” he said.

Jane snorted in amusement, a baby vampire warning her to run. She considered just putting this kid out of his misery, some people just aren’t made to be vampires but she was bored. “Sweetie i could end you in a second,” Jane said taking a sip of her drink. “I take it you haven’t been a vampire for very long,” she said crouching down in front of him. She tilted her to the side, he was attractive. If she could get him cleaned up then he could be very handsome. The boy shook his head in response. “Okay baby, what is your name?”

“M”

“M? Listen i am sure know all about the Lee vs Choi feud but let's not do aliases,” Jane said rolling her eyes.

“It’s not, well i mean it is kinda, it’s a nickname,” The boy, M sputtered. “And are you one of them? I should go Danel will -” he stared panicking. Jane rolled her eyes snapping his neck, she couldn’t handle panicking she was here to have a good time. While waiting for M to wake up she tossed the dead body over the edge, M sucked her dry and it was just unsightly.

“Rise and shine,” Jane said at the sound of M stirring.

“You snapped my neck,” He growled.

“Yes and you woke right up so let's not do the dramatics or the whole panicking thing - yes i am friends with an Original and no it's not Tyler Lee,” Jane listed. “Does Daniel really have a no interacting rule?” she questioned a dry laugh escaping her lips. Perhaps she had given Daniel too much credit, he was Tyler’s protege after all.

“He doesn’t let me interact with anyone,” M murmured. Jane raised an eyebrow, why would Daniel care about who a baby vamp interacts with? Especially a baby vamp who is so unsuited to vampirism. “Don’t -”

“Don’t tell him you said anything? I am no snitch but i have to admit i am curious as to why he would care, are you fucking him?” Jane said bluntly. M was big, big height, big chest, big biceps, and big thighs, it would be a safe assumption that he was also big where it really mattered. It would make sense that Daniel would keep him as a pet from what she could remember he was a bit of a size queen.

“Fuck no,” M said automatically. Well, there goes that theory. “I am just a living warning,” M grumbled.

“Right,” Jane said slowly, she was curious as to whom M was a warning for but she was getting bored with playing twenty questions. “Well come on,” she said to him. “Get up, you are getting a once in a lifetime chance of learning how to feed from the legendary Jane Fraser,” she said.

“Who?”

“Me,” she said gesturing to herself. “See most people have more than just a letter for a name,” she explained.

“I am not allowed to leave,” M said. “He’ll know,” Jane couldn’t help but roll her eyes. How tragic, being afraid of Daniel Choi.

“Well, then we will just have to have class here then,” Jane shrugged. “There are plenty of idiots in there,” she said nodding towards the door. “We will get you some clean clothes then i’ll teach you the proper way to feed,” she sighed. “No one likes a messy eater M,” she added.

Ghost Busters

Of Ghosts, Time Travel and Hotels;; Part Two. Included : M Young, Sungjae Lee, Mark Yang Mentioned : Tara Lee, Daniel Choi

“Did you just use our ghost hunting trip as an excuse to flirt with a boy?” M laughed as he came back from the counter, fruity drinks recommended by said figure – Danny? in hand. Sungjae shrugged fanning himself with the café’s menu, the umbrella that was covering them doing little to cool him down. M rolled his eyes sliding the icy drink across to Sungjae and taking his seat across from him. M looked away out at the beach, the ocean glistening in the sun, the white sands full of tourist. It was like paradise, or it would be if they were there under different circumstances.

“Might as well get something other than a sunburn out of this trip,” Sungjae said taking a sip of his drink. “And it was hardly flirting,” Sungjae said, M snorted, perhaps Sungjae wasn’t flirting but the Dan boy was definitely interested. He was practically foaming at the mouth when he started speaking to Sungjae. “I just said hi and told him about why we were here – after that, it was all Daniel,” Sungjae pointed out.

“Yes I seem to recall Daniel saying something about how the spirits were leading him to you and that if you got possessed he’d suck the spirit out through your di-“

“Okay so I was flirted with, I was the flirtee while he was the flirter,” Sungjae huffed. “I don’t appreciate the judgement,” he pouted.

“Fine but if you keep being a willing victim to his flirting this island is going to have another tally on its already massive body count,” M shook his head. “Did you not see the way Ashleigh was glaring at him,” M said as Sungjae stared at him blankly before shaking his head. M rolled his eyes, of course, Sungjae didn’t, he was oblivious when it came to people’s interest in him.

“Maybe she was jealous that he was talking to me,” he said as M eyes narrowed at him. “Anyway, so what did you think of the briefing, do you really believe all those deaths are related?” Sungjae asked, it said a lot about his best friend that he was somehow more talking about gruesome deaths and possible ghosts than about someone having a crush on him.

“I mean it’s hard to say they are all coincidences, right?” M hummed, the long list of deaths related to the Grand Royal Olivier Hotel weighing heavily in his pocket. “It is just too many,” he said with a shake of his head. All those poor people.

“True but a few of them aren’t exactly surprising,” Sungjae hummed. “That band? Apparently, the leader was out of his mind on drugs and according to his letter their company barely treated them like humans,” he pointed out. M lips turned down in a frown, it was hard to argue the point but to him, all of it was still fishy. His older cousin was a massive fan and couldn’t believe the leader would do that.

“Okay but the model? Is about to get married comes to this island for a shoot and then suddenly walks out into traffic?” M pointed out.

“Maybe he really didn’t want to get married?” Sungjae suggested as M flicked a piece at him.

“That is a horrible thing to say,” M huffed. “Never mind almost all of that wedding party 100 years ago – they were probably the catalyst for all of these cases,” he said frowning as he remembered the names of all the people who died during the month leading to the wedding.

“It’s weird though, like let’s just assume the sister was nuts why she would kill her brother?” Sungjae said scrunching his nose up.

“You are just defending her because you have the same last name,” M teased as Sungjae rolled his eyes.

“I am sorry are you talking about Tara Lee?’ A voice interrupted them, Sungjae scowled at the stranger. M looked over sympathetically been on the receiving end of Sungjae’s cat-like glare was never fun. He would know.

“We were,” M commented looking at the stranger curiously, he was younger than Sungjae and himself, bright-eyed and sharp jawed. “Are you familiar with the story?” he asked. Maybe he was a local who wanted to share one of their towns urban legends with outer towners.

“Ah, you could say that,” the boy said scratching the back of his neck. “Do you mind?” he asked nodding to their table. M nodded as Sungjae rolled his eyes as he went back to downing his drink. The boy dragged a chair over from one of the empty tables.

“Didn’t we see you on the boat ride here?” Sungjae asked as the boy sat down, an eyebrow cocked as he looked over the boy.

“You might have,” The boy admitted. “You see my family was here in the ’20s, my great grandparents actually worked at the Olivier,” he said. Sungjae glanced at M with what could only be described as a this is your fault look. “My great grandmother was one of the survivors of Tara Lee’s attacks –“ he said with a frown, “But –“ he stopped.

“But-“ Sungjae repeated. “Look you came over here for a reason right?” he asked.

“Are you always so –“

“Yes –“ M answered before Sungjae had a chance. “It’s been an hour since his last coffee, he is having withdrawal symptoms, rudeness is one of them,” he said shaking his head at his friend who looked less than impressed. “But he has a point –“ he looked at the boy as he waited for a name.

“Mark,” the boy filled in. “And, well this is hard to say, but after my grandfather passed away I was going through a bunch of his things and I found a letter,” he said shifting uncomfortably. Sungjae who had been glaring perked up a little at this. A letter was interesting.

“And –“

“It was from Tara Lee to my great grandfather,” he said shaking his head. “I think they might have been involved if you know what I mean,” he muttered.

“And you want to help us find her ghost so you can get answers?” Sungjae questioned.

“Well kinda yeah?” Mark said. “I don’t really want to find ghosts, I just want some more information, my great grandmother made sure none of our family ever came here but –“

“You want answers,” M said for him. “Okay, well our team is meeting tomorrow at the Sunny Morning café,” M said. “You should show up, we can always use an extra pair of hands,” he said to Mark as Sungjae pulled a face. “It will be nice to have another new team member, you know so Daniel doesn’t feel out of place,” he said sending a pointed look Sungjae’s way.

“Right,” Mark said. “Cool Cool,” he said nodding talking to no one in particular.

A rose by any other name

From First to Last Included, Endymion (M), Serenity (Jane), Venus (Minah), Jupiter (Lucas) Mentioned: Sungjae, Mars (Tyler), Mercury (Tara)

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾Garden☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

“Jupiter is taking a while,” Princess Serenity with a frown. “Do you think he is okay?’ she said turning to Minah, concern etched across her features. If anything had happened to him, or any of her friends for that matter, she would never forgive herself. She was the sole reason they were here, she begged and pleaded with her mother to let her visit this planet, she had always been fascinated by the lonely blue planet even after the tales she had been told by her late father she still wanted to see it. She has always felt drawn to this planet and perhaps it was naivety but she believed deep down that this planet's people were good people. Tonight had tainted that thought just a little bit, for every nice person she met she would meet three rude ones. She supposes it would be the same no matter where she went but some people here were downright hateful.

“I am sure he is fine, he probably just got lost, you know what he is like when it comes to directions,” Minah said, rubbing her arm trying to keep her calm. Serenity smiled, placing her hand over Minah’s and squeezing it sotly.

“Venus, could you go look for him, just to put my mind at ease,” she asked, Minah frowned, she could tell what was going on in her oldest friend’s mind. She didn’t feel comfortable leaving Serenity on her own. Serenity sighed, she knew it was Minah’s duty to protect her but she wished her friend would trust her a little more, she wasn’t the damsel in distress everyone else seemed to think she was. “Mars and Mercury are still here,” Serenity spoke, “Please,’ she said pouting.

“Serenity-” she said with a frown, Serenity pouted even harder. “Fine,” Minah huffed, ‘But you don’t talk to anyone and you stay where Mars and Mercury can see you,” she instructed. Serenity nodded, it’s not like she was going anywhere, after all where could she possibly go. With one finally disapproving Minah walked away, Serenity scoffed as she watched the way hungry eyes followed her like she was a piece of meat.

Turning around Serenity looked around the room, it was a room so full but she was entirely alone, with Minah or Lucas around to distract her, she couldn’t help but notice the way people were looking at her or the hushed whispers. She knew not everyone was going to like, it was a fact of life, but to openly be so ostracized was a new and very much unwanted experience, especially when these people had no reason to hate her. She looked around spotting Tara and trying to get to her she pushed forward muttered apologies disappearing when she heard these people’s words. “Did you know those Lurians can manipulate the mind?” “Look at the dress who does she think she is following those space girls are like common whores,” “She is going to rule the Moon Kingdom one, how long do you give her till she completely destroys it?’ “I heard Lunarian’s eat people,” she stopped trying to get to Tara and instead fled out of the nearest door.

She walked and walked until the castle was barely visible. She managed to find herself lost in the castle’s admittedly beautiful garden. The already picturesque, well kept garden, was illuminated by beautiful balls of lights . Serenity felt herself relaxing, looking around at this planet's interesting flowers and shrubs, she had a feeling she could spend all night in there but if Minah or any of her guardians found out they would snap. Perhaps she could persuade Lucas into visiting the garden again tomorrow. She started to walk what she thought was the way back to the castle, she came to a stop when she came to a pavilion noticing a lone figure sitting on a bench. Against her better judgement she walked towards this person.

“Hell-” she started to say before the tip of a sword was pointed between her eyes, just hovering mere inches away from her skin. “Princess Serenity, Oh my goodness I am so sorry,” Prince Endymion eyes widened in surprise as he quickly put his sword back in it’s sheath. “I am so so sorry, I just -” he said scratching the back of his neck. “Are you okay? I didn’t hurt you right?” he said reaching out and cupping her cheek as he examined her face looking for any knicks, Serenity sucked in a breath, his hand was much softer than she had expected, she watched as he looked over her face lips pursed in concentration.

“I am fine,” Serenity said finally finding her voice, Endymion’s hand dropped and she couldn’t for the life of her figured out if she was relieved or disappointed. “I am sorry i startled you,” she said softly. “I just saw someone out here by themselves and i thought i’d come check and see if they are okay,” she explained.

“Oh,” Endymion said, “I just need some fresh air,” he said with a frown. “And what are you doing out here on your own? Where are your guards?” He asked craning his neck to look for them.

“I needed some fresh air as well,” Serenity said. “Can we?” She said gesturing to the bench. “My guards will find me soon enough. It would be nice to have some good company for a few minutes,” she said. Endymion nodded, waiting for her to sit before sitting next to her, careful not to ruin her gown.

“So -”

‘Can i ask you something?”

Both Serenity and Endymion said at the same time, a light escaped their lips. “Go on,” the said again at the same time.

“You wanted to ask me something?” Endymion said.

“Why do you want this treaty?” Serenity asked, so far the negative far outweighs the positive. “I mean your people don’t seem to be fond of this union so why risk your status as the future king?” she asked.

“Well you haven’t met every person on this planet but if you are talking about the echelon of society in there,” he said nodding towards the castle. “Well i am not going to let some bigoted old men and their wives tell me what is best for our planet when all they are worried about is their own status,” he frowned. “Serenity, i know what you’ve seen tonight hasn’t been the most dazzling display of humanity but not all of us are like that,” he said. “My mother used to tell me stories of space and the moon, i guess that is why moon bunnies was my favourite book,” he said with a blush. “They were amazing, almost fantastical stories and ever since then i wanted to be amongst the stars, to bring Elysian into a golden era,” he said looking up at the moon, Serenity smiled softly at him his passion tugging at her, she reached across squeezing his hand.

“I know not everyone is like that, you aren’t,” she said softly, as Endymion turned to her, his cheeks tinged pink.

“Thank you,” he said, voice cracking as he spoke. “I am still sorry,” Endymion said. “This party was for you and your guards have been treated awfully, I tried to come over but the head of the government wouldn’t let me escape, Sungjae had to growl for me to get some freedom and i know you’ve never heard -” he stopped mid sentence causing Serenity to frown. “Sorry i am rambling, I am sure you aren’t interested in that,”he said with a shake of his head.

“It’s fine,” Serenity said, she didn’t want to say it aloud but she would have loved to listen to Endymion’s stories. “But perhaps to make it up,” she trailed. “You could dance with me?” she said hopefully. “It’s just at Lunarian balls we dance and i haven’t danced once tonight,” she said frowning at the way Endymion stiffened, his hand slipping out of hers. Was she being to forward.

“Ah,” He said scratching the back of his neck. “Are you sure you don’t want to dance with someone more -” he frowned. “You know someone who can dance,” he muttered. Serenity blinked owlishly, giggles escaping her lips. Of all the things she Endymion was going to say, his inability to dance wasn’t what she had expected.

“Did you not have dance classes?’ Serenity asked, tilting her head. “I thought that was part of royal etiquette” she teased.

“I might have managed to get out of those classes, Enzo managed to distract my instructor,” he laughed. Serenity giggled. “It was for the instructors own good i swear, i would have managed to break her feet, yes both of them i am that bad,” he said with a chuckle.

“I doubt that,” Serenity said with a smile, “Come on,’ she said standing up holding her hand out to help Endymion up. “I will help you become a dancer,” she said. Endymion looked at her hand before sighing and sliding his into hers.”Okay so first put your free hand on my waist,” Serenity said, biting back a giggle at how Endymion’s eyes bulged at her words. Endymion hesitantly put his hand above her waist, she could just feel his fingertips lightly pressing against her dress.

“Princess Serenity,” Endymion started to complain. “If you value my life i feel like we shouldn’t attempt to dance, I am pretty sure that Venus would skin me alive if i so much as stepped on your toes,” he said with a frown. Serenity giggled shaking her head.

“Just trust me,” Serenity said. “Now one,” she said stepping to her left, Endymion following suit, “Two,” she said stepping back as Endymion stepped forward, “Three,” she said stepping forward, Endymion must stopped following her lead because she was flush against his toned body.

“Sorry,” he said looking at Serenity there eyes meeting, not moving away or removing his hand from her back. “I told you -” he started to speak but no more words came out of his mouth. Serenity nodded, something changed in the atmosphere, they moved like magnets towards each other, their lips meeting for a sweet moment before ending when Minah’s panicked voice rang out through the garden. Prince Endymion stepped back, “I’m -”

“Please don’t say your sorry,” Serenity whispered. Endymion smiled down at her tucking a stray hair back behind her ear.

“Hang on,” he whispered, jogging over to where one of the bush flowers were, plucking it off carefully before going back to Serenity. “For you,” he said.

Serenity smiled at the flower, sniffing it lightly before looking up at Endymion.

“Princess,” Minah said finding her and Endymion. “Your majesty,” she said bowing to Endymion before quickly linking arms with Serenity and starting to pull her along. Minah was cursing the other guards as the moved through the garden, she giggled at Minah’s comments about Tyler and Lucas needing to keep it in their pants as she twirled around her flower the smile never leaving her face.

“Hey Mi-Venus,” Serenity corrected. “Do you by chance know what this plant is called?” she asked. Minah looked at it with a brow raised.

“I do believe Jupiter called it a rose,” she said. “Apparently different colours have different meanings,” Serenity hummed looking at it, the red petals glistening in the moonlight. Lucas would later tell her that the red rose represents true love.

・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。

“Listen to me Serenity you need to hide, i’ll make sure it is safe for you to get out, you need to find your mother, she can protect you,” Endymion said, pressing a chaste kiss to her forehead, stepping back and wiping away her tears.

“No, I am not leaving you,” Serenity said vehemently, shaking her head. There was no way she was leaving Endymion now, the Elysian soldiers were after him as well. They of course considered him an enemy now as well.

“Serenity, please, I don’t want anything to happen to you,” he said. “I know if you find your mother together you will be able to defeat Beryl and Queen Metalia,” he said. Serenity sobbed shaking her head. “You can save the universe,” he said.

“What’s the point if you aren’t here,” Serenity whispered.

“Who says i won’t be there?’ Endymion said softly, “I have a fiancee now that's plenty of incentive to stay alive,” he said with a smile. Serenity tried to smile back but his words did little to quell her fears. This attack had already taken so much from her, her home and her people were completely destroyed. Her friends were dying, she could feel it , they were flickering away, some had already gone, she could feel it in her heart. An ache that would never go. If she lost her dearest Endymion she couldn’t ,no, she wouldn’t survive.

“I love you,” Endymion said,Serenity knew this could possibly be goodbye so she pulled him into a desperate kiss that she hoped would convey everything she was feeling. Pulling away Endymion looked back at her, his own eyes glistening with unshed tears

.Serenity couldn’t stop herself as she broke down in tears as he walked out of the room. Why was the world like this? How could jealousy and hatred poison so many people's minds. Choking back a sob she stood up shakily, she had to be strong. For her kingdom. For her people. For her friends. For her family. For Endymion. She couldn’t let hate win. She moved out of the room finding the corridor clear, running through the hall her frail gown ripping and tearing, she searched for any signs of her mother or her right hands Luna and Artemis.

She turned into a hallway finding Lucas sat against a destroyed pillar, bruised and beat up barely breathing. She knelt down begging him to wake up. His eyes flickered open, a weak smile making its way onto his face.”Run,” his deep voice broken and hoarse.. “Please,” he said, head lolling back. Just like she felt when Tara and Tyler died she could feel the thread that connected her to her guardians snap. More tears fell from her eyes as she reached across with shaky hands closing his eyes for the last time, giving him the peaceful death he truly deserved. “I am so sorry my old friend,’ she whispered, kissing his forehead as she stood up.

She run along the corridor stopping only to dodge an energy blast, she turned to see Beryl, a sorcerer who claimed to be a queen, the reason all of this was happening. The reason why her planet was destroyed, the reason her friends were gone. The reason she could lose Endymion.

“Princess Serenity we finally meet,” She sneered hovering in the now blood red sky. Serenity said nothing glaring at her. “Such a waste, Endymion falling a girl like you when i had always been there -” she said. “It doesn’t matter anymore you will be gone and he will have no choice,” she said cackling as she launched another energy blast at Serenity.

Serenity was saved by a simple red rose. She looked to see Endymion jumping from the sky, landing in front of her, holding his arms out to shield her from any of Beryl’s attacks. Serenity looked at Endymion surprised by the hateful look on his face, she had never seen him look at anyone like that before.

“Endymion,” Beryl said.

“Don’t you ever touch her,” he all but growled. “You destroyed so many lives for what?” he spat. “Did you think this would make me love you?” he snapped. “You destroyed a beautiful kingdom, ruined my friends lives, turned my people into monsters,” he yelled. “And now you want to hurt the woman i love, I won’t allow it,” he said lifting his sword.

Beryl let out an anguished scream before a large energy blast hit Endymion, lifting up into the air. Serenity watched as Endymion screamed in pain. This wasn't the way it would end, she would save him. She wouldn’t let Beryl take their future. She leapt into the air trying to desperately reach Endymion. Their fingers grasped each other before another blast hit them both, their bodies falling to the ground landing with a thud.

Serenity winced in pain, “Endymion,” she gasped through pain, her eyes opening to see Endymion bloody body next to hers. “Endymion,” she struggled to crawl to him. “M?” she said her voice hoarse. She kneeled beside him fresh tears falling down her bruised face. “Endymion, your promised,” she sobbed but he wouldn’t wake up. She knew she has lost him, sobs shook her body as she glared up at the woman he had caused this. The witch looked down at her victorious smirk on purple lips aiming another attack at them but Serenity wouldn’t let her win, Endymion had died to protect her, she wouldn’t let Beryl take her not after his sacrifice Using all the energy she had left she grabbed his sword, sending a silent prayer to her loved ones begging for their forgiveness she plunged the sword into her heart, as her body began to shut down she reached out grabbing Endymion’s hand, her final thoughts were everything she wanted to say to him but couldn’t.

From First To Last

The Prologue Included : M, Jane, Sungjae,Minah, Daniel, Tyler, Emily, Lucas

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ The Beginnings ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

“And these are your quarters.” Prince Endymion, more commonly referred to as M by his inner circle lead the Moon Princess and her royal party to the left-wing of the castle. “All the rooms are fully furnished and the staff we will be more than happy to help with any of your needs,” he said. One of the maids scoffed glaring at the interstellar royals, M shook his head not understanding why his people were suddenly so against the treaty between Elysion and the Moon Kingdom. It was a step towards the future, a golden age for their people. “Ah,” he scratched the back of his neck. “I should let you all rest, you have all had a long trip,” he said. “There is a lot planned for tomorrow,” he said nodding awkwardly. “Goodnight,” he said bowing to the Moon Princess, “Ah should i -” he said looking at her royal guard who are also the Princes and Princesses of their respective planets. “No, I’ll just go,” he said with an awkward wave before turning on his heels and speeding away, hoping to get that tragic interaction out of his head.

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。

“.... Not that i think you aren’t pretty, because you are, not that you are just pretty - i mean … ” Daehyung mocked as Eunha fell into a fit of giggles beside him. The two of them were putting acting training to good use and doing a dramatized version of M’s rather tragic interaction with Princess Serenity.

“So the Prince, is he, you know, an idiot,” Mars commented with a snigger. “Do earthlings not know how to form a sentence?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I think he was just nervous,” Jupiter responded. “It’s the first time Elysian has interacted with the Moon Kingdom in a century, he has a lot riding on this,” he pointed out.

“Your majesty,” Enzo said, cutting off Eunha and Daehyung. “Do you perhaps need some tips on how to talk to a girl?” he said. M looked up, eyes narrowed, Enzo was known around the kingdom as a bit of a ladies men. “I am sure Eunha can pretend to be a lady for five minutes for you to practice,” he teased as Eunha growled at Enzo.

“Daehyung should play the princess, his blonde and we all know how much he loves the attention,” Eunha said as Daehyung ran a hand through his blonde locks.

“Oh Prince Endymion.” Daehyung teased fluttering his eyelashes before puckering his lips and blowing a kiss to M. “I better stop, I don’t want our dear prince to fall in love with little old me, it would just make things too awkward,” Daehyung grinned.

“That and he was blown away by Serenity’s beauty,” Mercury said. “I think it’s sweet,” she said with a soft smile. “Someone is just being mean because his longest relationship is the one he has with his own right hand,” she teased her brother who threw one of the many, many cushions that littered Serenity's bed, at her head.

“I am not being mean,” Mars huffed. “I am just pointing out that this Endymion is hardly princely, if acted like that Father would have Phobos and Deimos on my back like that,” he said with a click of his fingers. “And please we all know i have the most suitors apart from Venus,” he boasted, Venus looked up from brushing Serenity’s hair rolling her eyes at Mars and his antics.

“But you reject them all because you know your true love is out there, you’ve seen it in one of your premonitions,” Jupiter teased. “Could you imagine if people knew the Prince of Mars was a romantic,” he said with a whistle.

“Sungjae you are on my side right?” M said looking at his most trusted knight and oldest friend. “I wasn’t that obvious right?” he asked hopefully. Sungjae looked at him, a small smile on his face before shaking his head.

“Honestly M it was pretty bad,” he said with a frown. “But perhaps it's better this way, this is already a fragile treaty, we don’t want things to get more complicated,” he said seriously. Eunha and Daehyung booed from their spots.

“Don’t listen to Mr Moody pants over there,” Daehyung said. “Treaty Smchetty you should give the princess your meaty,” he giggled. His innuendo caused several reactions from the other shitennou, Enzo chuckled with a shake of his head, Sungjae looked disgusted and Eunha swiftly smacked across the back of the head.

“You are so lucky you prefer the company of other knights,” she said shaking her head. “M please for the love of Gaia do not take relationship advice from him,” she said rolling her eyes at her cousin. “If you really did like this Princess i suggest you be yourself, even if that does lead to some awkwardness - honestly is the best policy,” she said sincerely. Sungjae nodded in agreement but didn’t comment, not wanting to make anyone think he approved of this potential pursuit of the Moon Kingdom.

“Didn’t being yourself get you dumped by Lord Gideon,” Enzo questioned as both Eunha and Daehyung glared at him. “Okay shutting up now,”

“Min- I mean Venus,” Serenity said softly while the rest of her royal guard bickered amongst themselves. “What do you think of Prince Endymion?” she asked. When it came to opinions there was no one Serenity valued more than Venus, well apart from her mother ofcourse.

“I think he is a good man who wants what is best for his planet,” Venus said, placing the brush down on Serenity’s bed. “He is a little awkward but he has the whole planet's fate in his hands, its alot of responsibility to handle on your own,” she said. Serenity hummed, the death of the former King and his wife was a tragedy to say the least, she could only imagine what Endymion was going through.

“It must be hard,” Serenity said softly. “He seems so sweet,” she commented, a warm welcoming dimpled smile coming to mind as she spoke, her cheeks heating up as she smiled softly.

“ I am sure he is but did you forget about the rumours that Lord Jaehyun is going to start courting you when we arrive back on the moon,” Minah said softly but the warning was in her tone, don’t get too fond. “Let’s just focus on improving relations between our Kingdoms,” she said.

‘Do my ears deceive me or is the Princess of Venus telling someone to think with their brains and not with their hearts?” Mars commented in a sing-song voice. “The same Princess who was caught canoodling with several misters at her Debutante ball,” he asked, teasing.

“Your just jealous you weren’t one of them,” Jupiter laughed. “And shush you know Venus takes her position as leader of the Sailor Senshi very seriously,” he said.

“And she wishes you two would start taking it more seriously,” Venus commented. “Now off to bed you three, I will take tonight’s guard shift,” she commented getting up off Serenity's bed.

“What? Why? Venus you should rest as well,” Serenity said with a frown.

“Your highness, as much as Prince Endymion is trying not everyone else on Elysion shares the same good will,” Venus said softly, not wanting to upset her friend.

“As fun as teasing M is we have a big day tomorrow,” Sungjae commented, “We should let his highness get some rest,” he said seriously. The other Shitennou knew when he used that tone that the fun was over. “I’ll do a quick round on the Lunarian parties wing the rest of you should all go to bed, who knows who these talks will play out,” he said with a frown.

The other three stood up gathering their things and heading towards their respective rooms, not without a few quick jabs at M, Daniel telling him to dream off him before sending him another flying kiss. “M everything will be fine,” Sungjae said softly once they were alone. “You are a good ruler and everyone will see that,” he said with a quick nod before leaving to do his rounds.

M flopped back onto his bed, eyes closing as soon as his head hit the pillow, one single thought on his mind.

Tomorrow.

“Good morning your majesty,” Prince Endymion greeted Princess Serenity with bow as they walked into the dinning room“I hope you found the room to your satisfaction,” he said politely. Venus heard Mars snigger beside her muttering about how the prince learned to speak over night. Venus rolled her eyes knowing this wouldn’t last, as soon as the Earth Prince looked up and saw what Serenity was wearing or not wearing for that matter it would be back to mumbled words if they were lucky.

“Give her your jacket,” Venus said through gritted teeth as Mars rolled his eyes handing Serenity his jacket.

“Your highness.” Venus said carefully. “Forgive me if i am wrong but i believe Princess Serenity did not have anything planned for this morning so her attire isn’t exactly proper,” she commented stopping herself from snapping at him. Yes he was a Prince but he still had to follow protocol.

“Huh?” Prince Endymion looked up before quickly looking down, face bright red. “Oh uhm, I was just going to offer you all join us for breakfast,” he muttered.

“Why is there something wrong with the one your staff -” Mars started to speak before Princess Serenity spoke.

“We’d love to,” Serenity said quickly, “Just give me a moment to get changed into something more appropriate,” she said looking down at her nightgown, sheer and shimmering in the Earth’s sunlight.

“Right of course, Sungjae,” he said, turning to one of his Knight’s. “Would you stay here and show them to the formal dining area,” he asked. The Knight looked between the Prince and their royal party, nodding with a frown. “Okay i’ll see you then,” Prince Endymion said with a huge smile, a huge smile that Serenity seemed to bloom under. Well this was tooth rottingly sweet, Venus knew this was going to be trouble.

“Your majesty shall we?” Venus commented as Serenity nodded turning away from Prince Endymion, a soft smile on her face. Venus and Mars moved to her sides as they made their way back to their quarters, the Prince’s Knight stood a few steps away from that all times but he was a looming figure, the sniggering staff all backed away at the sight. Something Venus appreciated because threatening to kill them in her native tongue just didn’t have the same effect.

“I’ll be right back,” Princess Serenity said to the three mostly to Endymion’s guard. “Mars, would you be able to wake Mercury and Jupiter up,” she said sweetly as Mars nodded stepping past the Elysion guard with a scowl. Venus rolled her eyes, Mars had a tough time believing that Elysian and it’s people truly wanted peace, especially after his father had filled his head with stories of the Solar wars.

Silence had fallen over the hallway, Venus standing inside of a slightly ajar door frame as to keep an on Princess Serenity. “I don’t doubt your Prince wants people but from how the staff is reacting to us i don’t your people do,” Venus said to the Guard who looked up brow cocked.

“It has admittedly been harder to convince some people that this is the best step for our future as a nation,” The guard spoke, his tone steady conveying no hint of emotion. “It has seemed to get worse of late,” he admitted. “The Prince is trying so hard to quell the situation,” he said, Venus noted their was a crack in his armor, one that mirrored her own, her Princess was always number one and she had a feeling that it was the same for this guard and Prince Endymion. With a nod silence fell over the two as they waited for the rest of the royal party to come back out. The other guards returned, Mars resuming his one sided glare off with the guard while Mercury and Jupiter looked over at him curiously.

“Mi-Venus,” The Princess shrieked, causing the four of them to rush towards the door.Only to find the Princess standing there holding up two pieces of jewellery.

“Sorry guys,” Princess Serenity said sheepishly, “I’ll be out in a minute,” she said shutting the door once Venus was in the room.

15 minutes later Princess Serenity walked back out fully dressed. “Uhm, Sungjae was it?” she asked as she stood in the hallway, her guards flanking her side. “Is this … I tried to replicate Elysian’s style,” she said smoothing down her gown. Sungjae looked her over, her outfit while a perfect replicate of an Elysian gown but the fabrics and intricate patterns was far more over the top then what an Earth girl would wear, especially not a breakfast, Sungjae knew better than to point that out.

“It’s a lovely gown your majesty, your dressmakers are very skilled,” he said softly as the younger girl smiled widely, “But please don’t feel obligated change your style to match ours, you are an esteemed guest you should be able to dress however you please,” he said politely. “Now if we are all ready,” Sungjae said ready to lead the party to breakfast. “Prince Endymion has planned a busy day for you, he is quite excited to show you all our humble palace,” he said looking at the Lunarians curiously. Today was going to be interesting.

The Sleepover Part 2

follows this story (x)

Includes : M, Jane,Tyler Lee, Daniel Choi, Astrid Lee, Oliver Lee Choi, Milo Young, Charlie Young and Ella Yang

“Has everyone finished their desserts?” Jane asked as she placed the freshly cleaned plates back in the cupboard. She looked over at the table to see Astrid struggling to finish her second piece of cake, Ella telling Oliver how Mark was teaching her how to play guitar, Milo was looking towards the living room practically jumping in his seat ready to show off the super cool blanket fort he made with M earlier on today to everyone and Charlie was letting M wipe her face because it was somehow covered in chocolate sauce. Jane couldn’t stop the smile from spreading on her face, the whole scene was adorably perfect.

“Yes Mummy” and “I have and so has Oli,” were called out by Milo and Ella respectively. Jane smiled at the pair waving her wand at their bowls as they floated into the sink to clean.

“I am almost,” Astrid called out waving her spoon around, Jane winced as some melted ice cream dripped off her spoon onto her floor. It would be easy to clean up but Jane would be lying if she wasn’t contemplating sending a cleaning bill to Sungjae.

“Sweetie you don’t have to eat all your cake tonight,” Jane said to her. “We can always save it for you to take home tomorrow,” Jane offered.

“Okay , oh and can I get a piece for Mummy, Daddy and Minjae as well?” she said, clapping happily. “Oh and maybe some cupcakes as well,” she said, batting her eyelids at M. “Please Uncle M?” she said with a toothy grin. Jane sighed, her poor husband.

“I guess you could but you know Minjae won’t be able to eat them right?” M said standing up sufficiently happy with Charlie’s face. “

“You said I need to help Minjae grow so he should learn to eat cupcakes instead of that yucky baby food Mummy keeps feeding him,” Astrid huffed. Jane smirked if she had to guess Astrid’s interest was more in feeding her sweet addiction then helping Minjae out.

“Oh can i get a cupcake for my dad too?” Ella asked suddenly. “He is going on tour again tomorrow,” Ella pouted, Oli muttered an again with an adorable frown on his face. .

“Can Oli get some cupcakes to?” He asked softly. “My daddies aren’t going anywhere, or Oli doesn’t think they are,” he said he demeanour completely changed causing M and Jane too look at each other. The normal sweet boy had his fist clenched and eyes narrowed. “But Oli is sure they aren’t,” he said reverting back to normal. “But it would be mean if they don’t get any as well,” he said nodding.

“Okay, hang on,” Jane said, stopping these kids from turning M into some cupcake slave. “How about this, I will wrap the cake up for Astrid and tomorrow M and I will help you all make cupcakes to take home,” Jane said.

“Even us?” Milo asked pointing towards himself and Charlie.

“Especially you two,” M said ruffling Milo’s hair causing his son to try and dodge him erupting into giggles as he did so. “But for now you all need to get ready for our movie night,” M said. “After all we didn’t build the blanket fort for nothing right?” he said as Milo jumped out of his seat.

“No no,” Jane said, stopping her son before he raced into the living room. “First we get our pajamas on and brush our teeth,” she said as Milo pouted. “So if we are all finished girls with me and boys follow M,” Jane said as a chorus of children jumped off their seats. Milo was already out of the room racing up the stairs. Jane laughed watching after him.

“And I think that is our cue,” M said laughing. “Come on everyone,” he said. “Lets get changed,” he said.

“Didn't Jane say that the girls had to go with her?” Ella asked her head tilted to the side as she look up at M.

“She did but since all the rooms are upstairs I think we might all be able together,” M grinned. “Unless you want Oli and I to go first,” he joked. The three young girls looked up at M all the three of them shaking their heads.

“No no Uncle M, it’s ladies first -” Astrid said, nose turned up as she told him this fact. He looked at her incredulously, his eyes darting from Astrid to Jane who was trying not to laugh. “We should go first,” she said looking at Ella, Charlie and finally Jane. “

“So you want to leave me and Oli down here by ourselves, I see how it is,” M sniffed. “After i made you all those cupcakes,” he faked a sob, being shoved by Jane ever so slightly.

“Hmm Oli can come with us,” Astrid said, lacing her hands in his. M had to stop himself from just imagining what would have happened if Sungjae and/or Daniel were here. “Aunty Jane can decide on Uncle M,” she shrugged and like that the four remaining children had raced upstairs.

“Hmmm i can decide what to do with you?” Jane smirked, eyes raking over M’s body. “I always knew I was Astrid’s favourite,” she said with a grin.

“Don’t you already do what you want with me?” M asked, raising an eyebrow. “And you are only her favourite right now because you let her do your hair,” he huffed. “If i had luscious long blonde hair i’d be her favourite to,” M said flipping his non-existent hair over his shoulder.

“I do and don’t you forget it,” Jane said with a wink. “And keep telling yourself that hun,” she said with a huff. “Also I do believe we just got ditched by a bunch of toddlers,” Jane said . “Nice to know we are already at that stage,” she laughed. “Give it a month and Milo and Charlie will be telling us to wait in the car for them because they don’t want us embarrassing them,” she pouted.

“They grow up so fast,” M joked nodding solemnly, “If it helps,”he sighed, “by time Milo and Charlie are teenagers we’d be used to it, the others not so much,” he smirked.

“I can already imagine Sungjae in tears when Astrid tells him he is embarrassing her,” Jane said grinning from ears to ears. M smiled in amusement at the gleeful look on his wife’s face at the idea of his best friend going through. “And with that happy thought lets go help the kids before they come out looking like little pajama frankenstines,” she joked. “Lets go love,” she said, lacing her fingers through M’s and moving up the stairs.

---

“Mummy why aren’t you in your PJ’s,” Charlie asked lips jutted out in a pout as she looked over at Jane who was still dressed in her every day where. The other girls turned around gathering around the foot of her bed looking at her expectantly.

“Oh so you want me to wear pajamas,” Jane questioned looking at the hopeful faces of the little trio. “Ah but mummy’s pajamas aren’t as cute as all of yours,” she said hoping that would be a good enough reason for her to stay dressed.

“Oh are you like mummy?” Astrid asked, her nose scrunching up as she spoke. Jane was almost afraid to ask Astrid what she was talking about but it turns out she didn’t have to because Astrid was more than willing to share. “All of her pajamas are lackey or silk,” Astrid said, shaking her head. “Very not cute!” she huffed.

“It’s okay mummy, you can wear you not cute pajamas,” Charlie said nodding solemnly. “You are old,” she said. Jane let out an affronted huff, playfully glaring at her daughter.

“I think someone is just asking to be tickled,” Jane said grinning as Charlie already began to squeal bouncing up and down.

“Nooooo,” Charlie laughed. “Tickle Astrid instead,” she said, throwing her friend under the bus.

[jane gets pajamas - probably includes one of m’s shirts or hoodies]

---

“Nice shirt,’ M commented his eyes flickering from setting up the media player over to Jane. Jane winked at him as she sat beside him on the couch, muttering a spell for a throw rug to keep warm. The children were all gathered in Milo’s blanket fort chatting happily amongst themselves.

“Okay we are all ready,’ He said loud enough to grab the children’s attention, five little heads popping out of the fort almost instantaneously. ‘Does anyone have any movie suggestions?” he asked as a chorus of movie titles flew out of the kids mouths.

“I heard How To Train Dragons, is everyone happy with that?” M asked. There were a few grumbles among the children but they all eventually agreed - Astrid stating that they had to watch The Adventures of Henry Hippogriff next though. M laughed promising that they could, Jane side eyed her husband as he knew very well most of these kids couldn’t stay up that long. It was already getting close to Charlie’s bedtime.

“Mr M?”Mrs M?” Oli called out just as the movie began to load. ‘What time is it?” he asked his head popping out.

‘It’s almost 8 sweetie,” Jane responded, watching the way the boy's face morphed into a concerned one, his face scrunched up as he mumbled to himself “Is something wrong?”

“No,” Oli squeaked, burying his head into his toy dragon.

“He is worried that if he doesn’t say goodnight to his Appa and Daddy that they won’t go to sleep,” Astrid poked her head. ‘I told him he was being silly that his Appa and Daddy want special Mummy and Daddy time…. Well Appa and Daddy time i guess,” Astrid pouted as she thought that sentence through. Jane rolled her eyes as M suddenly started coughing beside her. One day soon Jane was going to have a talk with Minah and Sungjae about what Astrid should and should not know.

“Special Daddy and Appa time without Oli?” Oli repeated a frown making its way onto his face. Jane had to stop herself from cooing at how cute he was.

‘It’s not like that,” Ella said softly patting Oli on the back in attempt to comfort him. “M? Jane? Could Oli maybe call his dad’s?” she asked turning to face M and Jane. “So he can say goodnight and see how much they miss him?’ she asked.

“Ofcourse, come up here Oliver,” Jane sliding across and tapping the space beside her. Oli timidly climbed watching in fascination as Jane pulled out her phone. M had paused the movie so Oli could make his call undisturbed. Jane dialled the number, praying that Tyler would be decent.

“Jane?” Tyler’s face showed up on her phone, she let out sigh grateful that he seemed to be semi decent, his shirt was barely done up but she knew it could have been worse, though the oof and disappearing figure didn’t fill her with much joy.. “What do you- Oh my god it’s Oli? Is he okay? I swear to god if anything has happened to him -” he began to rant, eyes narrowed and lips turned into a vicious scowl.

“Daddy!” Oli called out happily. Instantaneously Tyler’s face softened, a big grin made it’s way onto his face. Jane handed the phone to Oli making sure he was holding right so that Tyler could see him. “Daddy! Can you see me?” Oli asked, smiling at the phone and waving with his free hand. “Gyo is here to,” he said picking up his toy and showing it off.

“I can see both of you,’ Tyler said softly. Jane tried not to pull a face, Tyler being soft for anything felt unnatural. ‘I am very happy to see you but why did Jane call me? Is everything okay?” he asked concern lacing his tone. Jane looked over at M who just shook his head, why did these people think their kids would be anything but spectacular under the care?

“Everything is okay,” Oli said grinning. “Oli has had lots of fun,” he added making Jane nod ,damn straight he had fun. “Oli has to goodnight to Daddy and Appa otherwise they won’t sleep,” Oli said shaking his head. “Silly daddy, it’s almost bedtime,” he said as if it is the most obvious thing in the world. “Where is Appa?”

“Appa?” Tyler questioned loudly, eyes darting some where offscreen. “Oh he is just in the shower,” Tyler said pointedly. Jane scoffed, Astrid was right it was special ‘Appa and Daddy time’ after all. “Look here he is now,” Tyler said turning the phone to find Daniel who was dressed in a dressing gown, hair mused up and an obnoxiously red mark on his neck.

“Appa!” Oli exclaimed happily.

“Is that my little prince?” Daniel asked taking the phone out of Tyler’s hand. “Hello baby are you having fun with Jane and M?” he asked sitting down. Jane while not still not impressed with his disheveled state she was grateful he didn’t automatically assume there was an issue though that might have been because he was listening on the previous conversation.

“Yes,” Oli said nodding. “We are going to make cupcakes tomorrow, Oli is going to bring you and daddy some,” he grinned.

“Oh yummy,” Daniel grinned. “I bet your cupcakes are going taste the yummiest,” he said.

“Naturally,” Tyler chimed. “Anyway,” Tyler said grabbing his phone back holding his arm so they could both been seen. “Oli called to say goodnight to us because he was worried that if he didn’t we would forget to sleep,” Tyler said as Daniel nodded solemnly.

“That is very serious,” he said. “Thank goodness Oli called otherwise we wouldn’t have gone to sleep and then we’d be all tired and grumpy,” he said.

“Hi Uncle Ty, Hi Uncle Niel,’ Ella yelled out. Jane had to cover her mouth at the way Daniel twitched when he heard her voice. “Can i say goodnight as well?” she asked climbing up onto the couch not waiting for an answer inspiring the rest of the kid squad following suit and in an instant there were five children gathered around her phone which Astrid had said she can hold.

“Oh look… Ella,” he said with a grimace.

“And Milo, Charlie and Astrid,” Oli said excitedly, proudly showing off his friends.

“Hi Mr Oli’s dad and Mr Oli’s Appa,” Astrid said. “Are you having special mummy and daddy time?” she asked bluntly causing both M and Jane to choke. This wasn’t on them, this was on Minah and Sungjae. “I mean appa and daddy time? Does that mean Oli is finally going to get a brother or sister?” she asked.

“Astrid sweetie,” Jane said, “I think Oli wanted to say goodnight to his dad’s,” she said steering the conversation back to where it should be.

“Yes,” Oli nodded. “Goodnight Appa, Oli loves you loads,” he said sweetly before blowing a kiss to Daniel. “Goodnight Daddy, Oli loves you loads,” he said repeating the gesture. A chorus of goodnights followed, Jane had to grin at Charlie ‘Goodnight Other Mr Lee’s’ knowing for a fact Tyler and Daniel wouldn’t like that.

“Goodnight baby, you have fun tonight and be good,” Tyler said to Oli. “We’ll see you tomorrow,” he said before hanging up.

“All done, everyone ready for the movie now?” M asked from his side of the couch. The kids all nodded jumping back down and crawling into the fort.

----

An hour later and almost everyone had fallen asleep, Astrid, Oli and Charlie were already fast asleep, Charlie curled up in M’s arm while Astrid and Oli cuddled up in the lounge. Ella was barely keeping her eyes open and Milo was trying to prove he was a big boy but she knew all too well that he was fighting a losing battle against the sleep

“Should I take this three to bed?” M whispered as Charlie nuzzled into his chest.

“You think you can manage?” she asked, raising an eyebrow, M was strong but carrying three sleeping children all at once might have been tricky for him.

“Hmm,” M hummed. “I’ll take Charlie up first and come back for those two,” he said standing up shifting Charlie to his other arm before making his way upstairs.

“Ella, Milo, you two ready for bed?” Jane asked softly as Ella lifted her head nodding, eyes closing as she did so. Milo nodded in agreement. “Do you think you can walk upstairs on your own or would you like to be carried?” she asked.

“I can walk,” Ella yawned. “Maybe you can make sure i don’t get lost,” she murmured as M came down the stairs. “Goodnight Mr M,” Ella said to him. “I have to go to sleep, I got to be up early tomorrow,” she said as Jane stood up with her.

“Milo you ready?” M asked picking up both Oli and Astrid. Milo stood up rubbing at his eyes. “Do you want a piggyback?” he offered and Milo nodded groggily moving to M, M bent down careful not to disturb the two younger ones as Milo climbed up onto his back.

Putting the children to bed was easy, they either stayed asleep or fell asleep as soon their heads hit their pillows. “Goodnight,” Jane whispered as M hugged her from behind resting his chin on her shoulder.

“And that is why we are the gold standard when it comes to parents,” he said as Jane grinned flicking his nose. “Hey,” he huffed .

“So it’s getting late it might even be nine thirty now,” she laughed. “As much as i wish i could go to bed right now or atleast cuddle up and watch a movie with you i have some work to do for the guys tour,” she sighed. “I am sorry,” she pouted

“Don’t be,” M said straightening up and pressing a kiss to Jane’s forehead. “Not only are you super mum you are super manager, in this house we love a multi tasking queen,” he joked. “But i’ll get the coffee ready, “ he said. “Your usual Madame?” he asked.

“Always,” she grinned.
