[color=f49ac2]“Woah! H-Hey! Don’t reprimand me.”[/color] Iris stuttered a little when he had teased her about not napping on the bed, [color=f49ac2]“I’ve got to make the most of every bit of furniture whilst here.”[/color] Chuckling slightly as she shook her head, regardless of the bad news of the prisoners escape she felt pretty great, but then that was because he was here. [color=f49ac2]“Plus, if I had slept on that bed I’d be out for the night and then you wouldn’t have any company. So, you better thank me and this not expensive memory foam mattress for that.”[/color] 

Watching him as he looked away after being caught out for the fake smile her gaze softened, she understood why completely but she wanted him to feel at ease with her. [color=f49ac2]“It’s fine to be stressed, exhausted even. You don’t have to explain yourself to me. You could sit there with a grumpy face all evening and I’d be okay with that. I’d try to cheer you up; make you smile but it’s okay.”[/color] Using her own face to pull a pout, making herself look grumpy to emphasize her point and hopefully get a smile from him. 

Grinning when he had agreed about no friend coming over, she nodded, plus the whole security situation of being on lockdown. [color=f49ac2]“It can wait for another day, plus they sound like quite the handful. I doubt I’ll get in a word with them.”[/color] Tilting her head as she watched him lean into the sofa getting comfortable, she only hoped he felt a bit more relaxed. [color=f49ac2]“I suppose I am quite optimistic, I never really thought on it. Not that I can right now anyway…”[/color] Rambling slightly as she grinned to herself, [color=f49ac2]“I don’t like dwelling on bad things. Maybe it can be borderline delusion as I suppose it’s not all sunshine and roses. I just think to myself that well, I have most of my health thankfully. A roof over my head currently, thank you.”[/color] Nodding towards him with a smile thanking him for letting her stay, [color=f49ac2]“And food. Plus, the company isn’t so bad either here, I mean the Prince is a bit stuffy but well… he’s alright really. [i]Harmless[/i]”[/color] Not being able to stop herself from giggling as she teased him back gently. 

Meeting his gaze once more as he started to speak about earlier events before the security breach, she fidgeted slightly uncomfortable with the subject. It was hard not to feel disheartened when he had apologised for trying to kiss her, a frown formed listening to his words. [color=f49ac2][i]See I knew it had been a mistake…[/i][/color] However, before she could get lost in her thoughts about the what ifs she heard his next words, he liked her. Her heart started to race, and her face turned a deep crimson as her fingers turned to playing with the hem of her sleeves, clearly nervous. [color=f49ac2]“A-A..h.”[/color]  Feeling the nerves rise in her stomach as she looked away coughing slightly, averting his gaze as she tried to compose herself. [color=f49ac2]“I… oh gosh no!”[/color] Holding her hands up as she began to stammer out her words, clearly flustered as she tried to form a sentence. [color=f49ac2]“I don’t mean no, I mean yes… well. No. Ahh.. idiot.”[/color] Mumbling to herself as she shook her head before looking up at him with red cheeks. Biting her lip as she tapped her fingers against her leg. 

[color=f49ac2]“What I’m trying to say is that well… I like you too.”[/color] Letting out a sigh of relief as she managed to get out her words, she felt like a weight was lifted, [color=f49ac2]“I know it’s a bit difficult with my memories, with everything going on around us. I don’t think I have a boyfriend, I’m sure I would have remembered something by now especially with the growing feelings for you.”[/color] Smiling over at him as much as she didn’t want to say it, she had too, the truth was she still didn’t have her full memories back and some had been scarier than the others. [color=f49ac2]“I know it’s probably not something either of us wanted reminding, but I want to be real with you. I love spending time with you and whether it’s just getting an ice-cream or just hanging here I’m honestly just so happy to be spending it with you as cheesy as that sounds.”[/color] Grimacing slightly realising how pathetically cheesy that sounded. [color=f49ac2]“So… uh… yeah.”[/color]
