In light of that I'll be bringing in Prince Terence and Ryou, a young magician. Rough start aside, the two have become fast friends, though not in any romantic sense. I thought I'd use them to reflect some of the things Valentine's Day means to me. Because I'm a lazy individual, I stole a questionnaire from Cait at PaperFury and Sky at Further up and Further In for their Beautiful People series.
How and why did they meet?
Terence's older brother was worried about his apparent lack of friends, so he put out a job offer for one of the nation's magical academy's first year representatives. Ryou happened to be the previous year's junior champion, so he was first in line eligibility-wise. He had no other interesting options, so he accepted, thinking it would be a practical job like service or protection. Instead, he found that the job was for friendship. In short, Ryou was hired to be Terence's friend.
What were their first impressions of each other?
Ahm...I'll just say it wasn't great. Ryou hasn't ever had a great opinion of royals, and Terence was still pretty angry at the fact that his brother hired someone for friendship purposes. It was mostly a chilly meeting, with both boys rather disliking the new acquaintances.

How would they prove their love for each other?
They just try to be around for each other all the time. They'd stand with each other through anything, even while pointing out where the other is going wrong. Also, forgiveness is key in any relationship, and theirs is no exception.
What would be an ideal date?
They're not dating, but they do enjoy hanging out together. Any location away from the palace is preferred, and they don't mind simply passing the time in each other's company.
Is there something they emphatically disagree on?
They tend to disagree on the uselessness of royalty... Ryou insists that nobles hardly do anything for themselves and make things worse when they try. Terence argues they fight in their own way. Although it can turn into a lengthy discussion at times, ever since they've become friends, the topic has not threatened to come between them.
List 5 “food quirks” they know about each other. (Ex: how they take their coffee, if they’re allergic to something, etc….and feel free to mention other non-food quirks!)
What’s one thing they know about each other that no one else does?
Terence knows about the conditions of Ryou's past. He's Ryou's only confidant in such matters and honors this highly.
Ryou knows that Terence has gone to the dark arts one time. He's never told a soul to protect the prince's honor, even though the circumstances surrounding that even made the secret hard to keep.
What’s one thing that they keep a secret from each other?
Ryou never told anyone the secret hidden behind using his true powers. That's his burden to bear, and he's determined to do it alone.
Terence hasn't told Ryou the secrets of his family's line, and Ryou hasn't cared enough to find out.
How would their lives be different without each other?
In brief terms, Terence would still be a bratty prince, and Ryou would be a friendless prodigy. Ryou has given Terence an excuse to be gentle sometimes, and Terence revived the light in his friend's eyes. Their personalities aren't particularly similar, and they compliment each other well.
Where do they each see this relationship going?
Now that's a hard question in dealing with Ryou...They see this friendship continuing until his death in the near future.

- Terence knows Ryou doesn't like sweet things.
- Ryou understands that the rich food in the palace doesn't always sit well with his prince.
- Terence could tell you Ryou doesn't like sitting down for meals - on-the-go wastes less time.
- Ryou has to drag Terence from the sweets table at any sort of party.
- They both know the other one prefers to eat in the company of friends.
