A/N: Another one-shot book for the Zenyuki Fandom. But this is going to be completely different from 30 Kisses as their won't be any daily updates on this one.

These will be stories revolving around several characters from the Akagami no Shirayukihime series but their main focus will be Zen and Shirayuki.

Whenever I get any idea, I'll write a one-shot based on it. But that's not all. I'll be taking ideas, suggestions, requests and anything that you ask of me to write about Zen and Shirayuki. But please, send all your requests on my tumblr account as it is easier that way. PLEASE

Well..that's all. Without much ado, here's the first prompt for this book.

Title: Reunion

Summary: Zen has been appointed as the new ruler of the north and is going to govern it from the Wilant Castle. Fate has brought Shirayuki to the same place as the Head Pharmacist in Wilant. Finally, after two years, the two lovers will be reunited...

This is so inappropriate. He mustn't be doing this. He is not supposed to do this. The second prince of Clarines must not even be here. Currently, his duties as a leader must be the ones that he prioritises. But no..the desire to see her has overpowered his judgment skills.

It was just a few hours ago that a Welcome Ceremony was held here in the castle at Wilant for his succession as a leader to this throne. His mother gleefully handed over the authority of Wilant Castle to him, expecting that he'll be a great ruler to the northern lands of Clarines. And what is he doing right after his appointment as a Ruler? He is heading over towards the bedchambers of the Head Pharmacist appointed at this castle— Shirayuki. She was highly recommended by Garack Gazelt of the Wistal Castle and Shidan of the Lyrias' Scholars District. Queen Haruto immediately approved of her and granted her this position. And so, Shirayuki arrived here just a few hours ago. She even attended the ceremony held in his honour as the new Ruler. But just like the other workers who have newly arrived at this castle to offer their assistance, she departed towards her bedroom to take some much needed rest.

It is unfair how everyone working under him has been allowed some time to get used to this new environment and rest. He on the other hand, has been asked to begin with his work right away. He will surely start with all the signing that he has to do as the new successor of the north but before that, he must see her..He needs to see her...

"Master, are you sure about this?" Obi asked, uncertainty written all over his usual feline features.

"Ofcourse I am! Just..make sure that Mitsuhide and Kiki don't hear anything about this." The second prince stated as calmly as he could.

"What if I betray you, Master?" The cat-like youngman asked in a sly tone, "What if I tell everything about this to Mister Mitsuhide and Miss Kiki? The news will immediately reach your mother and then-"

Obi shut his mouth when the young prince grabbed him by the collar. Sweat trickled down his brow as he watched the dark sapphires of his master glare at him. With gritted-teeth, the newly appointed leader of the north spoke, "Seriously..its barely been an hour since you returned to my side and you have already started irritating me!"

"Hehe," Obi lifted his hands up in defence and winked, "You know you love it, Master."

With that joking remark, the knight jumped off onto a tree, leaving the second prince alone to continue with his clandestine task. Sighing with weariness at Obi's teasing behaviour, the young leader himself jumped down the balcony before anyone could catch him and jogged off towards his desired destination. It's impossible for him to take the proper route towards his beloved's bedroom since the guards will witness him and report about the matter to none other than his mother, the former queen. And he'd rather share a room with Obi than hear rebukes from another person like his brother.

On reaching the window that he knows is a part of her room, he used his exceptional skills at wall climbing and easily reached the pane of the window. Fortunately, it was left open, so he jumped in. His eyes immediately landed on a figure lying beneath the cream sheets of the bed and he blushed. Is he doing the right thing? What if she gets mad at him? No. He mustn't do this afterall and return to his papers. He nodded to himself firmly but just as he took a step to turn around, her soft hum made him come to a halt.

"Zen?"

Her voice..it was so feeble and yet..so familiar. He tilted his head slightly to the side to take a peek at her and make sure if she actually called or if he is only dreaming things. And as he glanced, he found her stumbling towards him, rubbing-off the sleep from her weary eyelids.

His eyes widened when she reached-out and placed her dainty palm over his stubbled cheek. "Tell me..tell me this is real..that I am not just imagining this meeting..that you are actually standing here right in front of me..." She requested in her soft tone.

And it weren't just her words but the intensity in her emeralds that made him realise how long it really has been. His eyes lowered into a smouldering gaze and he grasped her wrist that was still resting on his cheek. His muscles relaxed under the familiar touch and he leaned his face more into the crook of her palm. Seriously, how long has it been since he felt this soothing touch? How long..since he last kissed her?

"I'm here, Shirayuki." He assured, the grip of his fingers tightening around her wrist as he turned his head slightly to plant a wet kiss on the back of her palm.

The next instant, she blushed and began stammering upon her words. The prince used this moment to his advantage and inched his lips towards her ear. Lifting up a lock of her beautiful, red hair between his thumb and forefinger, he took a whiff of her enticing scent and released a ragged breath.

"Shirayuki.." He whispered in a soft yet eagerly husky tone, "Can I kiss you?"

The young woman nodded meekly and closed her eyes, already waiting for him to make a move. Their lips met slowly and Zen felt the burn in his heart all over again. Shirayuki stood up on her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck to keep herself from falling. And even in the harsh cold of these northern lands, she felt warm because of the heat that was radiating from his body. It wasn't their first kiss but still..the long separation of two years made it feel like something new and ecstatic all over again.

They parted when she couldn't stand on her toes any longer and Zen gazed into her clouded emeralds. The separation was way too long for his emotions to be satiated by just one chaste kiss. He wanted more. He wanted the heat to engulf him..to raise him to another level of elation. And so, he pulled her flush against himself by snaking an arm around her waist. Shirayuki understood his wordless request immediately and clutched her palms over his shirt as he dove in for another kiss. A low, pleased noise escaped her lips and suddenly the second prince felt an urge to hear it over and over again. Tugging at the red strands of her hair, he slipped his tongue within to explore her delicious mouth. Another moan left her lips and he deepened the kiss in satisfaction, gently pushing her backwards until the calves of her knees bumped with the bed and they fell upon it, him on top of her. But the kiss was never broken. They kept on devouring each-other, their tongues entangling and disentangling in a rhythm dance, their lips sucking harshly.

When they finally pulled away to regain their breaths, Zen licked her neck and groaned. The young pharmacist blushed for she knew what was coming next. He has done this before. Her suspicions were proven absolutely right when the prince's tongue was replaced by his lips as he began suckling and nibbling at the unblemished, white skin of her neck. She roved her fingers through his hair, willing him closer and the young man complied without any restraint.

The door to her room clicked open at that very moment and in peeked a young woman with greyish-blue hair. Her turquoise irises landed upon the figures on the bed right when the two pulled away and stared at her in horror.

"Yuzuri" Shirayuki could only mumble the name of the girl. She was too entranced in the feeling of being with her lover to act coherently.

The girl shook her head as a dark blush crept its way up on her face. "Shirayuki..I- I'm sorry.." She muttered and turned to face the new ruler of the north, bowing her head in respect, "..please pardon my intrusion, your Majesty!" And the girl ran off, leaving the door ajar for anybody to peep-in.

The young lovers shut their eyes in embarrassment and Shirayuki removed her fingers from Zen's smooth, silver locks. He sighed and stood-up from over her, sitting at the edge of the bed as he passed a hand through his hair. It's just their first few moments together after so long and they have already landed themselves into a terribly wrong position. He must have constrained himselves from the very beginning.

"You know her?" He asked, still a bit embarrassed at being caught.

She nodded her head timidly, unable to look him in the eyes.

"Do you think she'll tell anyone?" He asked with concern.

"Um..she is free-spirited and very outspoken. So..so she'll totally tell everyone she knows.." Shirayuki answered in horror.

The prince could only release a groan in irritation as he closed his eyes and laid down on the bed.
