----------------------------------------------------------
Everyone says I'm a princess even though I'm not.
They all call me a prince even though technically my parents are just rich.
And then on my 5th birthday they gave me a prince. I was confused as I was pretty sure I wasn't a princess.
I could have anything I want. But that just kinda made anything boring.
He is older than me. And whenever we're together he would play with me much like how my Nana would play would me. I would always be in charge, and he would just do whatever I say.
I never had much friends. Boys my age either dislike me because they think I'm boastful or they are scared of me. I don't really know what I've done to make that impression, though.
He wasn't much fun. But he was always smiling at me and I was happy when I'm with him.
But there was one boy who I consider my friend though. My nanny's son. He's the only one who doesn't treat me like I'm special. And because of that he became special to me.
My Nana said I must have fallen in love with him. Which is good since we would be made to marry in the future, anyway.
But even he is obliged to pretend he's lower than me when we're in company. That's the time I feel most alone.
I asked him if that was true. If we were in love and if we were going to get married. But for the first time he frowned at me, and didn't say anything.
We grew up, and I got used to the pretending; but never to the loneliness.
We grew up and he never changed. He was always the prince that just go along with whatever the princess wants.
And then I met her. They said she is a princess.
And then one day, a dragon came. And he is just the same age as I am.
She looks more like a doll than a princess to me, though.
They say he is the son of a friend of my father and that it would be great if we could be friends.
She tried befriending me. And I didn't know why--maybe I was just not used to that kind of thing…
But he immediately rejected my offer, rather harshly. And again he reminds me of a dragon.
I was a little surprised. It was the first time someone ever asked me that.
(Can we be friends?)
I was confused and a little hurt. It was the first time someone rejected me like that.
My friend scolded me once we were alone. He told me it would do no good to be disrespectful to the princess--doll, and that she seemed sincere and really just wanted to make friends.
He tried to console me and just said not to bother with it. It didn't feel like he'd even listen to what I retold him, though. I'm not even sure if he knows he's talking to me.
I found her later by the kitchen, away from all the pompous business people and the party. I was surprised to see she was crying.
(Are you alright?)
I was surprised to see him there, looking worried. I asked him what he was doing and pointed out that he said just earlier he didn't want me as his friend.
I confessed I didn't have a friend but one.
He also said that because of that, he didn't know how to be one.
She then, slowly smiles. Just smiles at me as if she somehow understands. And I realized what my friend meant about her sincerity. I see no doll right then, but just a girl.
I told him he has two friends now.
It felt like a first in a while that I was able to smile at someone other than my friend.
He smiles at me and suddenly he's not a scary dragon anymore, but just a boy.
----
It was the start of a peculiar friendship.
And I was surprisingly thankful for that.
(Ryuu sometimes remind me of a dragon.)
(Kanon sometimes remind me of a doll.)
I guess he just comes too strong. He's too guarded, too fierce.
I guess she's just too obliging, too perfect, and looks too fragile.
---
Suddenly, it was already my engagement day.
I was invited, as a friend should be. But I wonder why I dreaded the day.
I waited and waited and waited and waited.
But her prince never came.
We found out he ran away. The only thing he could offer me was a letter.
I read the letter with her as per her request. I had never seen her look more like just a girl.
(You are a precious person to me, but I didn't love you. And I know you didn't love me either.)
I wasn't very surprised when she started crying.
I was. Because I knew in myself that what I read was true. I didn't love him. I never has. But maybe… just maybe…
But she was smiling. And I realized she looked both exhausted and relieved… and just so human right then.
I was tired of the lies I have to live with. And I'm thankful to him for freeing me from this one. I told Ryuu this.
I wasn't really thinking when I hugged her. I really just wanted to comfort her.
---
(When we're together we're not the princess and the prince. We're just the doll and the dragon.)
Time pass and the issue finally died down, to my relief.
The families started moving on and focusing on other things, one of which is the lessons.
We were in the same predicament as heirs to our respective families. They started to train us and show us to ropes to the business.
We barely meet each other anymore. And that surprisingly frustrates me.
I terribly miss him.
It was lonely without her. And even though I am now familiar with loneliness, it was never welcomed.
But when we do meet, I could somehow finally relax, and forget about other things for the moment.
When we're together it's like the world somehow changes. And it was just the two of us alone. Just the dragon and the doll. And no loneliness can ever touch that world.
It was one day when meeting in secret that we both realized.
(I think the dragon fell in love with the doll.)
(Why would a dragon fall in love with a lifeless doll?)
(Because it turned out, the dragon was just a boy, and the doll was just a girl.)
It was then that the girl took the hand of the boy.
