Robin did not have eyes for the prince. This was his only royal shindig he was most likely to go too. He rushed down the stairs. He may have had the appearance of a female but he lacked the grace. As soon as he hit the third step Robin began to tumble forward in the heels he had chosen falling down the stairs. As he was being helped up by guards, Robin took his shoes off handing them to the man. He marched across the ball room to a table full of delicious food, plucking something covered in chocolate for his mouth to savior.

the prince watched as a beauty in ill fitting dress fell down the main stair. he was shocked but intrigued, how did this mystery person make it to the top before falling, why did they dress as his mother's mother would have and what possesd them to ignore him, the prince? he elegantly parted himself from the ladies who constantly surrounded him and made his way through the crowds, the twitters of the men and women who had seen the display were loud and dispairing, he finally made it to the other and introduced himself

[Poggio]

Robin turned to the man who had come to talk to him. He just stared at him for a moment with a mouth full of chocolate. Having never seen the prince before he didn't understand he was in the presence of greatness. “Hello.” He said spitting out a bit of the chocolate onto the mans jacket. He immediately started to clean the smudge out of years of training. He swallowed before continuing talking. “Its nice to meet you Jerial...” he paused looking up. Why did that name sound so familiar? He ignored his gut. “You should try these.” Robin offered the man a chocolate covered tart.

(chokes a bit, jeez, too funny)

his beauty was not much in manners but up close her beauty outshone even the gold of the plate she was eating from, her gaze was strong but liquid, firm and direct, her jaw smooth and beautifully angled, her waist tapered thin, her hair was like snow and her breasts....nonexistent, he shook his head to clear his thoughts, his beauty was offering him a sweet, he took her arm at the elbow and lightly lifting it took the pastry with his teeth, leaving nothing but a kiss upon her fingers

[Poggio]

Robin stared at his hand as he took it back. The man must have been very hungry to nearly devour his hand. “I guess they don't feed you people much at these things.” He said more to himself as he looked over his hand. His fingers were electrified by the sensation of the kiss. He blushed not sure what he should do in return. “Thank you, I guess.” His attention was caught by the onslaught of his stepmother and siblings bounding over. He thought he was in trouble. Robin looked around for an escape, and saw a few dancing figures. How hard could twirling in circles be? He gave a small curtsy. “Would you like to dance?”

[littl3chocobo]

his heart raced. a dance with his beauty! he looked to the balcony where the royal musicians were poised, they began to play. he whirled hi beauty onto the floor her dress flaring out fetchingly, he was bewitched by her beauty. dipping her he pressed a hand to her...muscular back? he did not dwell on this inconsistency with other women he had been with, none were comparable to his beauty

[Poggio]

Robin laughed. This was so much fun no wonder the nobles did it. Though he lacked the grace to actually dance his partner made up for ever mistake he could possibly make. The man was strangely charming, and Robin found himself enamored by this. He had never gotten so much attention in his life. He did not want to let himself be lulled into a lie. Robin did not notice how much time had passed while he was gallivanting about with the man. The clock started to chime for midnight. Robin panicked breaking away from the young man. He made a mad dash for the door not knowing that each chime brought him back to consciousness. At the stroke of 12 he woke up searching for his alarm clock angrily. He lifted his head that was stuck to the page of his book. His stupid dream didn't even let him get a kiss.

( sorry for waking up but I feel bad leaving in the middle of a scene. I have to get ready for work now and wont be back on till later. )

[littl3chocobo]

(it's fine, i can use this<3 anyway you got two more nights and either way /i/ didn't even get a name hahahaha)
jerial was not the sort to meddle really but this was too much fun, robin was napping face-first in the book he brought home the night before and though it was an adorable sight, a thought quickly dismissed, to opertunity to pull a prank was too good to be ignored, he grabbed the old alarm clock the other kept by his bed and set it for midnight, three minutes. he put it back in it's place and went over to his own bed and laid down in a pantomime of sleep.

[Poggio]

He tried in vain to fall back asleep, but it was in vain. It seemed his alarm clock would not be denied. Cursing under his breath, Robin grabbed the device. He stared at it mentally counting to ten before cutting it off. He rubbed his eyes sheepishly, wondering who had set his alarm, and when he had fallen asleep. His little nap set his sleep habit back forcing Robin to get things done. Ironically most of what he did was clean the apartment. Hours later, Robin found sleep in side one of his classes as the instructor droned on about theories he had no real desire to learn about.

[littl3chocobo]

he had not intended to sleep, or so long, by the time he woke up his roomate was long gone. he consoled himself by taking a peek into the book the other was reading. it seemed to be some sort of diary, he could see robin's smooth hurried hand and a bolder thicker writing he only assumed was robin as well. he read a little of what was on the page 'hair was like snow and her breasts....nonexistent' he snorted a laugh, how rediculous. he browsed the page a bit more, he saw robin's name all over the book but he stopped when he spotted his own, he sat down and read the entire passage. 'a prince huh?' he shook his head, it was cute that he got cast as the prince though not as cute he was such an idiot but then neither was robin, he chuckled again, too cute, just too cute. he offered a tiny smile, he hoped cinder-robin would get her/his kiss. getting back up he wandered into the livingroom to do his homework.

[Poggio]

He had managed to wake up in time to catch the end of his lesson and homework. Before going back to his dorm Robin decided to stop by a grocery store and get some food. He had a strange craving for chocolate covered strawberries, and wanted to replace his roommates apple before he realized it was missing. Robin stepped in the door of the apartment, not expecting to see his roommate in the living room. He waved a bashful hello, while trying not to appear too eager to get back to his book. However he played it nonchalant. Even offering some of his dinner to his roommate.

[littl3chocobo]

he was suprised when robin offered him a soft hello, usually the boy paid him too little attention, instead keeping to himself, it was a nice change of pace. he thought back to the book he had been reading only a few minutes before, he wondered how much of it was convenience and how much of it was wishful thinking. he buried the thought as soon as it came, instead he looked at the bag in the others' hand 'what's in the bag?' he offered a smile

[Poggio]

“Um...” He said having a brain spasm. He pushed his glasses back on his face. Normally he and his roommate worked on a silent agreement and passive aggressive sticky notes. “Well Food.” He said honestly. “ I had a taste for meatloaf, and strawberries, you are welcome to them if you like.” He realized he couldn't lie, especially when there was no use. “I bought you another apple since I ate yours last night.” He started putting things away, resisting the urge to run and hide in his room. Robin felt he was being socially awkward.

He didn't wait to hear his roommates reply. He started making the meatloaf. If Jerial wanted it, then Robin would leave it on the stove for him.

[littl3chocobo]

of course robin did not stick around to find out if he wanted any or not, honestly this was the most the other had ever talked to him in one go before. he smiled again. this seemed to be his lucky day. he went back to his school work and hoped the food would be done soon

[Poggio]

Robin made dinner, it was mushed together meat along with creamy potatoes and tea. Once he had his food he scurried into his room shutting the door between him and his roommate. He had forgotten about his book in favor of doing his homework. After a while Robin realized his paper was nearly finished. He got up to stretch and realized his book was getting lonely. He bounced on the bed turning to the page he last left off slowly falling asleep. He woke up in the pit of ash to the sound of disgruntled females.

[littl3chocobo]

cinder-robin's step mother and sisters came home from the ball glowing and excited, their loud chatter woke the child who lept up with the bowl of lentils he had picked up after coming back from the ball. his step mother gave them no notice but a sister looked over. "mother" said she "that dirty little hearth rat finished your task" the step mother looked over "so he has" she said "but much too late, the ball is over for the night, maybe tomorrow" she laughed and the three headed upstairs to ready themselves for bed.
