Aspen is born royalty and noble, though this prince from the other kingdom, Sylvan, was his rival ever since those two were kids. He was always mean to Aspen which made him hate Sylvan more. It started off when the 2 families make their sons meet. The mother of Aspen gave them both a challenge.
"Dears, whoever can get married to their wife first, gets a grand wedding. The loser gets a poor wedding."
Aspen and Sylvan, hearing the punishment, glare at each other. Ever since then, they've been trying to pull girls. However, Sylvan was too good, Aspen fallen for his tricks. He hides them by getting into arguments with Sylvan. They both hate each other, but they both also like each other. Wasn't obvious...until now.

Aspen steps inside a ball room, where a big ball is being held. And just the moment he did, the can feel someone glaring at him.
He looked around and spot Sylvan, glaring at him with his cold eyes from afar.
Aspen looks away, walking around the ballroom. He had no one to dance with, and then a group of ladies notice and go to him.
"Hey dear~" one of them said.
"Care to dance with us?" We'll make you happy~" another one of them says.
Aspen gets weirded out yet still remains polite.
"Well, ladies, give me a moment to get into a perfect mood to. After, then I'll be more than glad to."
Sylvan rolls his eyes, annoyed. He had the urge to just pull Aspen away from them, but he kept his cool. He talks to some people, still keeping an eye on Aspen. He watched as they giggle, talk and bat their eyelashes at him, some of them even touching his arm. And Sylvan found himself getting more and more irritated by this.
He let out a soft scoff and clenched his fist. ' Why were they touching him like that.' he thought.
One of the girl pouted and spoke. "Oh c'mon~"
"Please give us a chance~" another girl spoke.
"Yeah, we wouldn't take much of your time, dear.~" a third girl said.
Sylvan continue watching from afar, finding the scene in front of him irritating him even more, he was fighting off the urge to walk over there and drag Aspen away from them.
"Ladies, it won't be long. I promise." Aspen reassures. He notices Sylvan and blushed faintly. He looked away from him. He looks back at the ladies. He gets weirded out more when one of them grab his arm.
"Please? Just a tiny bit of your time, your highness?~" The lady who was grabbing his arm pouted.
Now, Aspen didn't mind being touched, but this was too much for him.
"Let go, please. We can talk without touching." Aspen says. He was too shy to say no, and still had the voice of his mother ringing in his head.
The girl pouts and let go, her friend spoke up right after that. "But wouldn't it be better to do it with physical touch as well?~"
"I prefer not to. I'm not a touchy person." Half truth, he says. Aspen looks away from them.
Sylvan had enough and walks towards us from behind. He grabs Aspen's waist and pulls him away, while Aspen makes a small surprised yelp.
