    ❝    i mean- yeah    ❞    he laughs, shaking his head. the people in their lives- around them. around salt lake... they already know ricky and nini are together. that they've been together.    ❝    at parties- and just- around the rink- around town. but i'm just saying- it's a lot bigger than something on instagram telling people we're a thing    ❞    but he can see how happy she is too.    ❝    i love that we're together, neens. i'm really happy you're happy. and that you're happy to really tell the world now too... it feels so good    ❞    he's over the moon with her.

❝     well,     yeah,     we     definitely     did     that...     but     any     of     our     friends     would     know     about     that,     considering     how     many     of     them     would     have     seen     us     at     parties.     ❞     she     says,     shrugging     her     shoulders.     she     didn't     really     care     too     much     about     people     they     didn't     know     seeing     them     kiss     on     national     tv.     she     was     just     happy     that     the     people     she     loved     knew     now.     ❝     i     called     you     my     boyfriend     and     everyone     who     follows     me     can     see     it.     it's     even     mushier     on     my     friends     only     story...     ❞

    ❝    well- i promise i won't laugh at you nini-    ❞    ricky says with a shake of his head.    ❝    i seriously just think you're cute. the accent- it's cute-    ❞    not really a correction- but... he's going to add the rest anyway.    ❝    embrace the fact that you're good at this. feeling small about your successes doesn't help. your drama club's not on their way to potentially win a tony at 16. but you could be medaling at the olympics next year if things work out. you're special nini.    ❞    he's a bit surprised- to hear those kind of sweet words out of her mouth.    ❝    oh- that's... that's really nice. thank you.    ❞    

❝     sometimes     in     drama,     people     laugh     when     my     lines     come     out     british...     guess     it's     just     a     knee-jerk     reaction     to     feel     weird     about     it.     ❞     she     admits,     shrugging     her     shoulders     as     if     it's     not     that     big     of     a     deal.     ❝     i     am     proud     of     myself,     don't     get     me     wrong.     but,     yeah,     it     does     feel     like     i     shouldn't     be     so     loud     about     it.     ❞     he's     so     sweet,     so     reassuring,     and     it     feels     so     nice.     she's     still     a     little     nervous,     feeling     a     little     crushed     by     the     crush     she     has     on     him,     a     little     dizzy     being     so     close     to     him.     ❝     yup,     golden     boy.     ❞     she     confirms,     popping     the     'p'     at     the     end     and     nodding     her     head.     ❝     you     make     me     feel     like     i'm     standing     outside     on     a     sunny     day...     golden     boy.     ❞     she     admits,     soft     smile     on     her     lips     as     she     speaks     the     words.

    ❝    you know you don't have to just... suck it up, right? if you're not happy... maybe it's not the right relationship anymore.    ❞    as much as he doesn't want to overstep, he's a lot better at understanding and asserting boundaries when it comes to other people's relationships compared to his own.    ❝    you can like someone and have that not be enough to stay together. especially when you're in different places now.    ❞    

❝     i     stayed     in     bed     for     like     a     week     when     she     said     space     was     what     she     needed.     ❞     maddox     says,     shrugging     her     shoulders.     she'd     done     what     she     could     to     give     madison     her     space,     but     every     second     had     sucked.     watching     all     her     friends     in     their     happy     relationships     was     painful     at     times.

    ❝    a lot more practical than the water bottle we got. don't get me wrong- i love the metal ones, but that thing got all banged up quick.    ❞    he laughs, flashing her a smile.    ❝    but it is nice and soft.    ❞    and he loves that nini's here- wearing his now. that she's smiling at him, wanting him to hold her like this and be close.    ❝    yeah- water's good.    ❞    he hums, a sigh as she pulls away, like the one that comes out of her mouth. they'll be tangled up soon enough in bed watching their movie, but- it's still like- he doesn't want the bubble to pop. he doesn't want to lose her. not when he finally has her.    ❝    i'm glad we're doing this.    ❞    he finds himself saying, as they head into his bedroom, carrying their stuff along with them.

❝     it     is     nice     to     be     wearing     something     that     has     proof     of     how     far     we've     come.     that's     one     of     the     things     i     love     about     it;     it's     proof.     it     helps     that     it's     cozy,     too.     ❞     she     says,     smiling     as     he     leans     down     and     presses     a     kiss     to     her     head.     she     can't     get     over     how     good     it     feels     to     be     tucked     into     his     side,     so     close     like     this.          ❝     i     think     i'm     good     with     the     popcorn     and     candy.     that     should     be     enough.     ❞     she     says,     looking     up     at     him     from     beneath     her     lashes,     soft     smile     on     her     lips.     ❝     maybe     we     should     grab     a     couple     bottles     of     water?     i     can     do     that,     since     your     hands     are     full...     ❞     she     says,     sighing     softly     as     she     untangles     herself     to     walk     over     and     open     the     fridge,     pulling     out     two     bottles.

    ❝    i mean- we both know it's impossible for you to be a kid forever, neens    ❞    he says with a shake of his head.    ❝    you're not a rebel. you're just nini. whoever that turns out to be now that you get to choose that for yourself instead of just what's on your publicist's plans for you that got made when you were 11 or whatever age    ❞    she doesn't deserve that judgement. none of it. she hasn't earned it. she certainly didn't ask for it. this was her job for years. she's just- grown up. reached a milestone.    ❝    i know it's hard- and that it's a lot to have a lot of people counting on you, that you are an 'inspiration'... but you're a really wonderful person nini. and you're not going to let anyone down by being yourself. not anyone that matters    ❞    ricky hums, leaning in to press his lips softly to hers.    ❝    you don't have to deserve me. you just do.    ❞    

she     can't     help     but     smile     at     him     as     he     caresses     her     face.     he's     so     sweet     with     her.     ❝     some     of     the     parents     of     kids     who     watched     my     show     are     already     mad     just     because     i     turned     eighteen,     like     i     was     supposed     to     stay     a     kid     forever.     they're     mad     at     me     and     i     know     they're     just     going     to     see     everything     i     do     through     a     judgmental     lens.     ❞     she     knows     she     can't     do     anything     to     make     these     people     not     find     fault     in     anything     she     does.     she     won't     stop     living     her     life     to     make     them     happy,     either.     especially     when     ricky     is     so     important     to     her.     ❝     i     know.     it's     just...     a     lot.     to     have     everyone     telling     you     you     can     never     mess     up     because     people     are     counting     on     you     and     looking     up     to     you.     ❞     she     says,     sighing     softly.     ❝     you     are     so     amazing.     what     did     i     do     to     deserve     you?     ❞     she     asks,     wrapping     her     arms     around     his     neck     and     smiling     up     at     him.

    ❝    i don't know maddox. is she flirting with you? or do you really just have the most epic taste in shoes ever    ❞    he's sure his point is made well enough in the way he says it, repeating what he'd overheard earlier today.    ❝    if you really like ashlyn, then you should focus on that. you said exactly what you just said. you and madison are over. that's that. it's over. you can see what happens with ashlyn now that you're single.    ❞    

maddox     hated     talking     about     her     feelings.     why     did     this     have     to     be     so     complicated?     she     flops     backward     on     ricky's     bed,     eyes     meeting     nini's     where     she     sits     across     the     room,     absorbed     in     a     song     she'd     been     working     on.     ❝     she     was     definitely     flirting,     right?     how     is     that     not     going     to     be     weird...     madison     and     i     are     over,     but...     i     really     like     ashlyn.     i     don't     want     things     to     be     weird.     ❞

    ❝    i just adore you- how can i not be sweet with you?    ❞    he hums, shrugging his shoulders. ricky's smiling at her, completely struck, stuck on her beautiful brown eyes.    ❝    i do know i have a choice. i just want you to know that you're right- you are my choice. you're always going to be my choice. it's not a question to me. i want this- because i want you.    ❞    and walking through the museum together... they're where they're meant to be right now. in her country. this is her home- and it will be his one day too. he's trying to radiate enough confidence to embrace it. ricky absolutely beams at her words, her suggestion that they dance. ricky nods, smiling at her and stepping back to take her hands.    ❝    i would love to dance with you right now your highness. especially to fulfill a dream. shall we?    ❞    

❝     you're     so     sweet,     my     love.     ❞     she     says,     a     beaming     smile     of     her     own     to     match     his.     ❝     i     just     don't     want     you     to     feel     obligated.     i     want     you     to     know     that     you     have     a     choice.     i     love     that     your     choice     is     me     and     that     means     the     world     to     me,     but     i     know     you     didn't     grow     up     like     this.     it's     a     lot.     ❞     she     didn't     want     ricky     to     wake     up     one     day     and     resent     her     for     the     life     that     he'd     ended     up     with     in     the     pursuit     of     a     relationship     and     a     life     with     her.     she     loved     him     more     than     anything.     ❝     as     much     as     i     hope     they'll     support     me     and     be     happy     for     me,     and     as     much     as     i     do     believe     that,     i     also     know     that     i     wouldn't     give     you     up     for     anything.     ❞     ricky     is     so     important     to     her.     she     wants     nothing     more     than     to     be     with     him     and     she'll     be     whatever     she     has     to     to     ensure     they     stay     together,     short     of     giving     up     her     throne.     ❝     you     know     what     i've     always     wanted     when     coming     here?     to     just...     dance     to     the     pretty     instrumental     music     they     pipe     in     with     someone     i     love.     with     all     these     pretty     things     things     around.     that     big     chandelier.     would     you     dance     with     me,     love?     ❞

    ❝    i honestly can't say i know what makes you dislike me so damn much, no. you can call me whatever you like though nina.    ❞    he sighs, shaking his head as he sits there, not sure whether or not to look at her. she certainly won't be looking at him, or so it feels.    ❝    this one anyway- i don't know if i like being stuck someplace, but... i don't mind the idea of us getting to know each other better since we're going to be partners.    ❞    there's a pause at her words though.    ❝    do you think we're gonna be here all weekend?    ❞    

❝     maybe     i'm     being     too     kind     thinking     you're     a     liar,     because     i     don't     want     to     believe     you're     stupid     enough     to     not     know     what     you     did.     ❞     she     says,     shrugging     her     shoulders.     she     shoves     her     hands     into     the     pockets     of     his     jacket,     happy     that     she     had     taken     it     when     he     offered.     she     didn't     like     being     cold.     usually     it     made     her     want     to     cuddle     and     she     didn't     need     that     thought     creeping     into     her     mind     right     now.     ❝     yeah,     you     just     love     hanging     out     with     pretty     skaters,     huh?     kind     of     your     m.o.,     isn't     it?     bet     this     is     the     best     weekend     of     your     life.     ❞

    ❝    do not think i do not understand where you might gather that kind of thinking.    ❞    he pauses, looking at the scarlet haired princess with a frown.    ❝    there is plenty i could not think of pardoning. someone raising a hand to my beloved princess, for one.    ❞    his wife is absolutely his most precious thing, after all.    ❝    i do see power in kindness though, princess red. in pardoning fault when it's appropriate. restraint can be a very powerful thing indeed.    ❞
