(Private RP) Another World <<syaoran-puu & Kotorichan>>

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries's cheeks flushed deeply as Vaughn helped him clean. "Ah... You don't have to do that..." He whimpered, although he didn't stop the man.

He looked away at the question. "It helped in the moment... But it doesn't help with the shame I feel afterwards... Especially when you have to watch."

"Thank you..." He murmured before quickly dressing himself. He hesitated for a moment before hurrying to Vaughn and leaning up to catch his lips in a gentle kiss. "Will you stop by my office today..? Like what you did yesterday?"

 

----

 

"That is correct." Advyk smiled. "I am glad to see that you seem to be doing a bit better today Mr.Black." He gave Nivair a slight nod. The guard glanced at Brenton for a moment before bowing and disappearing back into Advyk's shadow.

"If you feel that you're ready then I would like to start as soon as possible." He took a sip of tea. "Do you think you'll be ready to start right after breakfast?"

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“Ah.... I see....” Vaughn considered, “but you know. You have nothing to be ashamed of. And it doesn’t matter what I watched or heard or anything of that. I’m here. Right now. With you. That won’t change. Maybe in time you’ll realise that.” Vaughn smiled.

 

The kiss was nice! His smile widened. “Of course I can. Remember you might have company today too.” The other Prince was here after all. And.... Brenton.

 

“Ready?” He asked.

 

———

 

Brenton nodded, “good. I am not trying to offend you.” He said simply.

 

Play nice. “I will admit I still feel.... tender. But I am fine.” Having sex helped me feel myself again. His powers might not be full power today but that was probably for the best!

 

He placed his hands in his lap and inclined his head. “After breakfast is fine, your majesty.” He watched the guys shadow. He’d never seen that before. Brenton was curious how it worked.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries blushed deeply. "Thank you... Maybe I can get used to this eventually..." He sighed.

"I know, just seeing you will make me happy... Even if it's just for a few moments." He looked away shyly. "Ah... Right, I shouldn't make them wait much longer."

He turned and hurried to the dining room.

 

-----

 

"That is to be expected. You used a lot of energy with your little tantrum... What caused it in the first place?" Advyk asked.

"Good, I will have to get changed but I will meet you in the training grounds..." He followed Brenton's gaze to his shadow. "Prince Ceriesti's letter said that you came from another realm. Am I correct in assuming you have never seen a shadow-walker before?*

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“You can. You will.” Vaughn smiled.

 

“Then seeing me you shall.” He hummed softly, smiling at him. “Indeed.” Vaughn grinned gently. Following after him.

 

———-

 

Brenton frowned. It was rather embarrassing.... “pickpocket.... I got angry.... panicked and then couldn’t seem to turn it back off or do what Prince Ceriesti said.” He had tried to control the web.... but he’d pulled the wrong string and made it worse.

 

He looked from the shadow then back up. “That would be correct....” Brenton cleared his throat. He looked to his hand and then away again. “Prince Ceriesti should be here soon...”

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries smiled at him, resisting the urge to give him another kiss. He made his way to the dining room, going as quickly as he could without appearing to rush.

----

"I see, that makes sense..." Advyk sighed. "We will work on preventing such a thing from happening again."

"Shadow-walkers are rather rare, even in this world." He murmured.

He looked up as Ceries walked in. "Ah, good morning your majesty."

 

Ceries bowed his head slightly. "Good morning your highness." He glanced at Branton but quickly looked away again. "Good morning Mr.Black..."

He sat down, trying to hide his reaction to the pain in his hips. "I-I apologise for the wait." He murmured, taking a bite of food so the others could also start eating.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton shrugged, trying to play it off but struggling. “Thank you, your majesty. I appreciate the assistance.”

 

He quirked a brow and looked to the others shadow again. “I see. How fascinating.” So Nivair was a raw creature. Interesting. “I am assuming shifters like Vaughn are more common then?”

 

Vaughn walked behind Ceries, holding out his chair and tucking him in before standing behind him. He’d wait for a while then go to the kitchen for his own breakfast.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"Shifters are quite a bit more common... Unfortunately there are a few countries classify them as property..." Advyk said as he started to eat. "So in those places they have to hide their abilities."

Ceries frowned slightly at the conversation. Thinking about that sort of thing always made him rather depressed. "I hope your room was to your liking your highness."

"It was lovely, thank you." Advyk smiled. "Nice and warm."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn looked to Brenton. What was he playing at?

 

“More common. Property?” Brenton looked to Vaughn and quirked a brow. “We should be thankful Prince Ceriesti doesn’t agree with such things.”

 

Vaughn looked down at the floor but didn’t move beyond that. Brenton was up to something.... but what?

 

Brenton started to eat. “Breakfast is delicious as always, your highness.”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I'm sure your own world has it's fair share of horrible people." Advyk smiled. "As decent people it's our duty to... Control those types of people." His gaze locked on Brenton for a moment before he turned his attention to Ceries. "Mr.Black is right, breakfast is quite delicious."

Ceries lightly chewed his lip, the air in the room felt tense... He glanced at Vaughn, giving a slight nod to indicate that the man could go eat his own breakfast.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“It does.” Brenton predicted two people here saw him as the horrible person too. But he wouldn’t reveal that. “You’re quote right, your majesty. It is not something to be encouraged.”

 

Brenton was well aware that Fluffy couldn’t seem to look at him.

 

Vaughn nodded at the permission and turned towards the servant entrance and the kitchen. He was starving. Today felt like it was going to be a very long day!

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I'm glad you understand." Advyk hummed. He looked at Ceries. "I will be starting Mr.Black's training after breakfast. If you wish to stop by and watch then I would be happy to have you."

Ceries nodded slightly. "I will be busy for most of the day, but I'll be sure to stop by when I have a chance." He promised.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton let them talk a moment then offered, “please do call me Brenton. I’m afraid I am not used to this formality.” There. That sounded polite? Right?

 

He looked at Ceries and smirked, but made no comment as he ate up.

 

Better this way. Politeness didn’t allow for vulgar comments at breakfast.

 

So he ate up. Needing the relief only food could give him. He would need the energy after yesterday and found himself eating far more than usual.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries's cheeks flushed softly at the smirk and he quickly lowered his gaze to the table. "Ah... Right..." He murmured.

"I would be more than happy to drop the unnecessary formalities between us." Advyk smiled. "What do you think?" He asked, turning to Ceries.

"I don't mind..." Ceries glanced at Brenton, silently pleading him to still be respectful.

 

----

 

Nivair emerged from the shadows in the kitchen. He glanced at Vaughn but quickly looked away awkwardly. "May I join you for breakfast?"

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton nodded at that, “fantastic. I do appreciate it.” He looked to Ceries. Noticing the way he was reacting. He really needed acting lessons, couldn’t he at least pretend he had a backbone?!

 

“Is there anything I should be aware of for our lesson today?” He turned to ask Advyk instead.

 

———

 

Vaughn was sat alone but his senses tingled just before Nivair appeared. He nodded to the other guard. “Of course you can. Let me go grab you a plate.” It wasn’t far away so didn’t take him long. He put the food down and returned to his own.

 

Looking up he offered quietly. “I’m not judging you. And I won’t tell.” Relax. “if anything. I’m jealous.” He chuckled and drunk from his cup. “Eat.”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"We'll be working on how to stop your powers from going out of control. So be prepared for things to be rather boring." Advyk said. "I get the feeling you would rather learn how to fight."

----

"Thank you..." Nivair took the plate, frowning slightly at the man's words. "I see..." He took a polite bite. "I feel very fortunate, however I do not know if you would be quite as jealous if you fully understood the situation..."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton nodded. No point denying it. “I would prefer it. But.... I’m not a fool. After yesterday....” it had scared him. He just wouldn’t admit it. “I’m well aware that I need help with control.” Boring was probably good after yesterday’s ‘tantrum’, as Advyk liked to call it. Brenton felt exhausted to his very soul!

 

Finishing his plate. He put the cutlery down as he’d learnt and sat straight. Polite and waiting for the others. He picked up a drink just to have something to do with his hands.

 

———-

 

“I see....” he wanted to pry, but Vaughn didn’t want to upset anyone either. Curiosity got the better of the cat. They were alone right now.... maybe Nivair would talk to him? “What is the situation?” Was Nivair not happy? No, he said he was fortunate.... and Vaughn knew how caring and affectionate he’d always been. The cost yesterday a prime example. Was it just the hiding? It was.... tiring....

[Guest Kotorichan]

"If you do a good enough job then I might let you try something a bit more fun tomorrow." Advyk winked at him. "So do your best."

Ceries finished his food and sat back. He waited until Advyk was also finished before rising to his feet. "If you'll both excuse me..."

---

Nivair glanced around to make sure they were alone before taking a deep breath. "His highness gave me permission to speak with you about this..." He clarified. "But I do not wish to speak about too many details without him present. The relationship is... Merely physical... My feelings for his highness are not returned. I am fortunate that he did not dismiss me when he realized how I felt, and the relationship we have now is far more than someone of my position could even expect..." He trailed off, staring down at his plate. That was probably the most he had ever spoken in front of Vaughn.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton didn’t comment at first, he was busy trying not to roll his eyes. I’m not a child to be bribed!

 

Being respectful was... hard. “Thank you. I will do my best then.” He looked to Ceries. Running away, Fluffy? Typical. “Don’t work too hard, your highness.”

 

————

 

Vaughn nodded, he couldn’t imagine what details was too much or what he would need to know. It wasn’t like he was going to ask about positions or anything.

 

He frowned at the others words. Ouch. Nivair was played with and used for his body.... but his heart ignored? That had to hurt.

 

But, he thought to Fluffy. “How do you handle that? The.... being used physically I mean.” Okay! Now he was blushing. He cleared his throat a little embarrassed.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries's cheeks flushed softly, why did everything Brenton say sound like an innuendo to him? "Thank you, I will be sure to take a break to check on your progress..." He murmured.

Advyk rose to his feet. "Alright then, are you ready to get started?"

 

---

 

"He isn't using me." Nivair said quickly. "He figured out my feelings... He simply gave me the option of having a purely physical relationship and I accepted... I felt it was better than just pretending he never noticed." He let out a soft sigh. "It is my own fault for developing feelings for someone so out of my reach."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton smirked, trying just to smile but not managing it. “Until later then.”

 

He looked to Advyk and nodded, “as ready as I’m going to be, your highness.” He rose and waited for Advyk to start moving before joining him.

 

His mind was a tornado of thought.

 

————

 

“Apologies for my insensitive tongue.” He sighed. “I know that feeling.... but Ceries.... Prince Ceresti is different.”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"Good, I'm going to get changed into something easy to move in." Advyk said. "I reccomend you do the same." He headed back towards his room.

 

---

 

"I see... Perhaps I should be jealous of you then." Nivair smiled sadly and finished his meal. "Does Prince Ceriesti know how you feel..?" He asked softly.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton nodded and headed to put his training clothes on. As he dressed he wondered what type of face Advyk made when he came.

 

He shook himself. He wasn’t interested in the man like that. Nivair though? He’d fuck him.

 

Done he headed towards the training ground to wait.

 

————

 

Vaughn nodded. “Yes. But it’s.... complicated. I think I lost my chance to be with him, not that..... not that I had one. It’s why I stayed quiet for so long. It kind of.... slipped out after Brenton.... arrived.” He sighed and looked up. “Perhaps we should join our masters....?”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I see... I'm sorry to hear that." Nivair rose to his feet. "Yes... That would be wise." He hesitated for a moment. "My prince may wish to speak to you at some point... I hope you do not mind." He bowed his head and disappeared into the shadows

---

Nivair had joined Advyk in the training grounds by the time Vaughn returned. Advyk was wearing loose fitting pants and a shirt and stretching his arms. "Ah, there you are." He smiled. "Are you ready?"

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn nodded, he’d expected as much. Though he didn’t know what Advyk would want to say.....

 

It sounded like... maybe.... he’d think he was like Nivair? Maybe he didn’t know Ceries felt the same?

 

He walked towards the dining room, empty. So headed to Ceries office and knocked. “Your highness? It’s Vaughn.”

 

———

 

Brenton looked over. Nodding. His eyes wandered to Nivair a moment then back. “Yes. Where do we begin?”

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries was sitting at his desk, starting his work. He looked up at the sound of a knock and smiled. "Ah, come in please "

---

Advyk blinked at the look Brenton gave Nivair. "Interesting..." He murmured before turning to his guard. "Nivair, would you go get some sheets of paper?"

Nivair bowed deeply. "Yes your highness." He said before disappearing.

Advyk turned back to Brenton. "I'm going to have you work on controlling the burn on some paper. " He walked closer to the man, lowering his voice. "If you do your best then I might consider letting you join us sometime..." He winked. "Although you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. I'm not planning to give up my favorite toy anytime soon."
