Arranged Marriage

Little Bat Friend

(AN: I know, I know stupid title😂 didn't know what else to name it.)

It's been two months since Marshall's arrival. I have to say I'm quite happy having Marshall by my side everyday. The fear had left me long ago. It feels as if he has become apart of me and I'm not sure of I could be the same without him. He has filled my days with laughter and joy. We spend our days doing what friends do, maybe even what brothers do! Marshall has been kind enough to find a loop hole in my wardrobe. I am now wearing a long sleeve coat that has a long train at the back. It opens up at the waist revealing my legs and I'm wearing pants the you wear for riding. I wore boots because heels hurt! I still had my long hair though. There has been many glances I have received by some of the male staff and I can't decipher their looks. It seems no one can recognize me. They have all assumed I have left somewhere for my safety. And have been replaced by an unknown princess. I'm quite glad my wonderful people are not that...... Bright. I ran through the halls as fast as I could. I quickly turned down another corridor and kept running. I ran down the steps to the garden but as soon as I was on the grass I was tackled.

"Gotcha!" Marshall shouted.

"No fair!" I giggled. I flipped over on my back to look at him. We were still by the castle so we were under some shade. It turns out the Nightosphere creatures burn in the sun light, that's why their land is so dark.

"Ow dammit!" Marshall cursed and quickly held his hand. I guess we were not covered by the shade as much as I thought.

"Give it here." I grab his hand without waiting to hear his approval. His hand was burnt. I felt so sorry for him. It must be very aggravating to worry about the sun constantly. I kissed his hand.

"Wh-what are you doing?" He said flustered by my actions.

"I'm making it feel better of course."

"What?"

"I kissed it to make it feel better."

"What...? Oh oh, wait. It's that for little kids!" He said a smirk spread across his face.

"No, it is not!"

"Yeah, it is! I bet you still believe in Santa and the tooth fairy too!" He said laughing.

"Of course!" I said looking him dead in the eyes to show how serious I was. Marshall was silent for a split second then he started laughing again. "Marshall! I do not like to be laughed at. I thought I addressed that to you yesterday!" I said frustrated that he was laughing at me yet again.

"Okay Bubs let me make this simple. One, kisses make nothing better unless they're on the lips. Two, Santa doesn't exist and three the tooth fairy is dead. Because I sucked all her blood out." I gasped.

"He is too real!" I said wiping the rims of my eyes. "You couldn't have killed her! You just couldn't have killed......"

"No, he doesn't Bubs. He never did. Your parents gave you gifts and your parents give you money for your tooth. Soon when you have kids you'll be Santa and the tooth fairy for them."

Marshall's POV.

I swear I have to tell this kid everything! Like basically everything! You don't know how many basic things everyone knows except for him! These last few months I've dirtied this kids mind. I'm sorry it needs to be done. It's ridiculous! He's almost eighteen years old and he still believes there a Santa Claus! I got up from tackling him and put out my hand for him to grab it. When I looked down tears where falling down his face.

"It's not true! They our real! They are!" He said sobbing away and wiping away each tear as it fell. Normally I would have been pissed off if it was anyone else but I kinda have a soft spot for this kid. He is the only person who likes me. If I lose him I won't have anyone to hang out with. I kneeled down and helped him whip his tears away.
