The Selection (1x1 with AnnaCat17)

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Maisie pouted, gazing up at him. "I wanted to stay here too. And I knew Jake wouldn't leave me at home alone. And...maybe I hoped that when Jake married you Mama and Papa would be able to stay with us. He'd be busy with you an' he would be so stressed an' he'd let them stay...," she trailed off, pulling on his hand as they walked.

"Okay," Eleanor whispered, gently nuzzling his neck. "Love you," she mumbled, snuggled against him.

Matteo looked down at her, considering her words. "Maisie, why wont he let you see your parents?"

Vice didnt respond to her words but kissed her forehead. She probably said that to all of the selected so he felt it was best to ignore it.

"They don't like him, 'cause he likes guys. So when he got kicked out I went with him, 'cause he's my brother and I love him. But he doesn't want me going around to see them." Maisie hugged his arm, gazing up at him. "I think Jake really likes you."

Eleanor sighed softly, falling asleep in his arms. She felt safe and comforted with him.

"Im just his friend. He told me im not allowed to play with him like the others so we just hang out for fun until he wants to go home." He explained calmly, trying not to let it hurt.

Maisie frowned. "Really?" She didn't seem to understand that. "I think you should kiss him," she decided, happily swinging their arms. "I think you and him are good together." She smiled innocently up at him.

[AnnaCat17]

Matteo chuckled. "Everyone here thinks i would be good with them. Thats why i haven't picked a husband yet." He began to make his way back up to Jakob's room with her to return her. "I think you just want me to marry him so you can be a princess."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Maisie giggled. "Maybe!" She did want to be a princess. "Kiss him! Kiss him!" she chanted, giggling as she held on to his hand.

[AnnaCat17]

Matteo chuckled and once they reach jakob's door and he had knocked he kissed her forehead. "Ill kiss him when i feel like getting a broken nose, little princess."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Maisie giggled, beaming up at him. Jakob opened the door, smiling faintly at them. "Have a good time?" he didn't know why Matteo had wanted to talk to Maisie, but hoped it had nothing to do with their parents.

[AnnaCat17]

Matteo smirked at him as he handed her back. "Your sister is a devil and needs to calm down with her fantasies."
