A/N: Firstly, HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY! :D

So..this idea came into my head all of a sudden and therefore, I've decided to post a kiss one-shot between Prince Zen and Shirayuki every single day of April.

Without much ado, here's the kiss for the 1st of April. ENJOY!

Day 1: A Refreshing Kiss

Summary: Zen is finally on a short break and the only person who can make him feel relaxed is a red-haired palace pharmacist...

When he walked out of the meeting hall that afternoon, his shoulders sagged in weariness and he sighed in irritation. He has hardly had any sleep this week. Thanks to the extreme strictness of the court officials who want to see perfection in everything that he does! Oh! And this so-called perfection of theirs also includes him signing all of his paperwork in beautiful scribbles, keeping in mind that no drop of the ink gets wasted. He groaned at the thought since the meeting has ended and right now, he is supposed to begin with his task of reading, approving/disapproving and signing of the numerous applications that have been piled on his work-desk ever since the mid of march.

"I need a break." He whined lazily to his faithful chaperones who have been following him around everywhere he goes with mastered patience.

Both the older man and his blonde partner exchanged a glance and then nodded to each-other with a smile of approval. Their little prince really does need a break but ofcourse, he can't take one. Not atleast one that allows him a few hours of rest. So the only other option that they have is a change of environment and that too, for not more than five minutes. And they both know that only a particular person can provide him comfort in such a short span of time.

Mitsuhide Rouen quirked his brows at his partner to confirm whether the both of them were focusing on the same thought or not. Passing a hand through her soft, golden locks, Kiki Seiran nodded in agreement and so, the two aides of the second prince spoke in unison, "Why don't you pay a visit to Shirayuki?"

The effect of their suggestion began showing instantly on his face as the young prince tried to hide an excited smile behind the palm that he now placed over the upward curve of his lips. His sapphire irises were dancing in joy at the mere thought being able to meet this girl who holds the most important position in his heart.

"Then..only for five minutes." He promised his aides who nodded.

Immediately he ran past them, smacked his palms on the railing of the second floor and jumped-off of it onto a tree in the vicinity, from which he catapulted-down on the stone-paved path and jogged away in the general direction of the palace greenhouses. He has a hunch about where his beloved, red-haired might be working at the moment.

He could hear the sounds of her humming inside the third greenhouse, working peacefully on providing nourishment to all these plants that may one day save his life. His movements came to a halt right outside the doors as a sudden thought struck his mind. Between the two of them, she is the shy one who is embarrassed most of the times by their acts of love. Teasing her is the best part about their romance. The memory of her blushing and even running away from him into a forest just to avoid the vision of their first kiss is really adorable and always makes him smile the way he is doing right now. And that time at night when he kissed her on the neck which resulted in her losing her balance, is one of those memories that he'll cherish forever. Her mortification is the cutest thing about her and as much as he knows that she hates it, he enjoys teasing her. He smirked as the devil on his left shoulder helped him in formulating a naughty idea to take her off-guard and he bumped his fist with the little imp in silent agreement.

"Hey Shirayuki!" He called cheerfully as he made his entrance and looked at the young lass who was busy watering the Yura Shigure plants.

She was taken aback by his sudden appearance but then relaxed. "Oh! Zen. Do you need something?"

Ah! Seriously, this hardworking girl that he has fallen for. She is always to the point during all of their conversations, never trying to talk about random stuff. He smiled at her habit and shook his head in amusement.

Her eyes narrowed slightly and she asked, "What?"

He shook his head once more in response and then called her name again, "Shirayuki"

She looked at him awaiting his next words when out of the blue, he snaked an arm around her waist, quickly pulling her closer towards himself whilst his other hand, trailed it's way behind the back of her head and his gloved hand settled cosily amidst her slightly grown red locks. Shirayuki stood unmoving in his hold, completely shocked by his move and tried to guess what his next action will be but then, he surprised her yet again when suddenly, he sealed his lips with hers in a searing kiss. It took her a few moments to comprehend his deed and finally responded in her own shy way. With a victorious smirk, Zen tugged at her strands of hair and angled her head in order to deepen the kiss even more. A wave of serenity passed his tired soul and he moved back only to kiss her again with more fervour.

.

.

Five minutes later, the prince pulled away from the swollen, pink lips of his lover and left her in an embarrassed state to get started with his paperwork. It's all thanks to her that he is feeling relieved of all the stress that has been engulfing his brain. Taking her by surprise is the best break for Prince Zen's agitated mind.

A/N: Fast and Slow Satisfaction Kiss- a kiss in which one of the two participants pulls their partner closer by surprise and stops there. Then, all of a sudden kiss their partner to surprise them even more. It's a tease and embarrass kinda kiss where you take your partner by surprise.

Hope you guys enjoyed this one-shot ;)
