Feeling lonesome was easy for you at night. You usually slept fine but there was always those few days where you just longed for a midnight conversation. You purposely kept your curtains open to look across the way at the boy next door who was none other than Ricky Nelson. You two were lifelong friends and you had an insane crush on him. You knew that he knew but you didn't have it in you to confess.
You looked into his bedroom to see his bedside lamp was on. He was sitting up in his bed and writing away in one of his song books. You knew that the longer you stared he would eventually look over. He put his book down and turned to look out the window to see you. He gave one of his shy smiles before holding up his hand. He grabbed his robe and made his way downstairs to the back door.
He hopped over the short picket fence and made his way into your back door. He walked quietly up the stairs and slowly opened your door and closed it behind him.
He wore blue pajama pants and a white tee shirt with his navy blue robe tied loosely around him. He draped it over your chair and sat at the foot of the bed.
"Can't sleep either?" You two have slept in the same bed many times before, on trips or when you went on tour with him.
He pulled the corner of the sheets up and got in next to you. His short brown hair fell over your extra pillow. He opened his arms for you to lay in.
"What's got you up this time?" He asked tired. You looked into his eyes before looking at the blank ceiling.
"Nothing in particular. Just thinking."

"What about?" You inhaled deeply. It was now or never.
"You," now it was his turn to take a deep breath.
"Me?" You nodded, not looking at him.
"Nights like this I get lonesome. I crave a conversation and naturally I crave you."
"Crave me?"
"Just like this right now. Where I can lay my head on your chest and just feel like the rest of the world is gone. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to kiss you even just once."
He moved my hair to the side before shifting himself to look into my eyes. He stared at my lips and I knew what would happen next. His lips attached to mine in a passionate way. My first kiss.
"If I only knew you felt the same." he said and held you tighter than before.

The Queen's Guard
Friedrich Schreiner is a proud gefreiter of the Queen's Guard, 2nd Company: the finest fighting infantry on the continent (barring the Temple Guard; but please don't bring that up). Service is honourable but, with the Empire on a peacetime footing, terribly boring. Affairs take a dramatic turn for the worse when a mysterious invader uses a forgotten and taboo magical means to breach the capital, plunging the nation into chaos and endangering the royal family. With events spiraling out of control, Friedrich is entrusted with a critical mission. Will hot lead, cold steel, and his determination be enough to see him through? The Queen's Guard is what I'm calling a black powder fantasy story: it's set in a loose equivalent of the early 18th century (plus or minus a few pieces I decided I wanted or didn't want). Magic exists, but not in a spell-slinging sort of way: it's Earth-shaking undertakings or minor enchantments forged in by master craftsmen, the grand working of a secretive cabal or a slight nudge to the course of a blow. I, the eternal optimist, have a full trilogy in mind. The first book is The Prince's Arquebusier, hence the cover and the title disagreeing! This is my shot at 2021's NaNoWriMo and RR Writathon! I've hitherto been terrible at writing long-form fiction, so this is an effort to break out of that by having some accountability in being supposed to post chapters regularly. Here's hoping it works! I have an outline, but not too much detail. I'll do my best to avoid continuity errors, doing anything glaringly stupid, or otherwise fluffing my lines, but I can't make any promises on that. Please do let me know any feedback! Always happy to improve. [participant in the Nov 2021 Royal Road Writathon challenge]
