[Yukonwolfspirit & ZX-MetalMonster] (Private 18+)

[Yukonwolfspirit]

Gasping and breathing hard Yukie relaxed as he finally let go of Darcy his face burying in his lovers chest. Taking a moment to settle his racing heart Yukie sighed softly his arms still wrapped around Darcy now without clawing his partner into confetti. “Thank you.” Yukie whispered his voice tiered but completely satisfied with their fun. “Will you stay the night or do you need to get back to your men?” Yukie asked Darcy still snuggling into his lover as he spoke.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy lingered on top of the prince until he caught his breath but then shifted to rest beside him on the bed. However he staid close, just about glued to his new lover. He smiled fondly at the young man wondering why he thanked him but only made a quiet sound like a purr in place of answering him. The knight looked blissful despite the painful, bloody mess that was his shoulder. "I have to stay to protect you in case that feral demon comes back." Darcy joked meanwhile his hand moved along the young man's body, brushing over his shin gently.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Mmh then you can’t help it. You’ll have to stay till late morning. Can’t have it sneaking back in through the window.” Yukie mumbled as he snuggled into Darcy’s body enjoying the warmth and gentle touches of his lover. “Wanna see Luca turn purple. Stay long enough for him to come wake me up. You’ll see him go three different shades and the castle be on edge.” Yukie explained as he looked at Darcy a smirk on his lips as if he found a game in tormenting Luca sometimes.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy wasn't happy the prince was thinking of the older man even now but swallowed down his anger and comber his fingers through his lover's hair. "That would be something." He mused, wondering if the prince had done this just to get a rise out of the keeper. "You said you can be with whoever you like though... and that you've been with other men? Would everyone really be that shocked to catch us together?"

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“No, they wouldn’t they might be happy, or maybe just confused. Honestly I’ve got quite a few irons in the fire and a few marriage proposals. So me finding a partner in a few years wouldn’t be strange and the second I do they will throw a party” Yukie admitted as he looked at Darcy with a smirk.  “The maid might whisper and be curious about you though. They all have bets placed on the current candidates.” Yukie explained having fun messing with the maids betting every now and then. “Course you’ll meet one of my suitors tomorrow. We visit the spiders tomorrow for trading and the prince of them is quite sweet though I don’t feel romantic for him.” Yukie added as he relaxed beside Darcy even more before turning and snuggling into the knight.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy was silent for a long moment, turning over the idea of a spider prince in his head but ultimately failed to imagine what the man might look like. "You're considering... marrying a spider?" The knight sounded incredulous but was curious to meet this suitor, though he had no business talking to royalty other than his liege and would most likely hover in the background while the princes talk. "Now that I know your suitors are men you really should worry about me stealing your betrothed." Darcy joked, having playfully threatened to run off with his master's spouse once before.

Despite enjoying the way his lover snuggled up against him the knight finally remembered what a state he was in started to get up. "I should clean myself up before I make a mess of your bed." He offered as explanation not bothering to point out he couldn't heal his wounds as easily and needed to tend to them even if they didn't bother him.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“I keep my options open, I have to choose eventually and I mean he’s not a bad option. He’s quite nice and kind but rather boring.” Yukie explained with a shrug as he nuzzled into Darcy more enjoying his body heat. Smirking at Darcy teasing to steal his husband Yukie could only snort a little. “Oh go ahead I would love for you to deal with the uptight and needy princes in my place.” Yukie replied as he rolled his eyes and chuckled. “You wouldn’t last an hour dealing with them.” Yukie mumbled clearly not caring for the arranged meet up to help him meet a future suitor. Looking at Darcy as he started to get up Yukie was confused before noticing the blood and wounds. “Shit…I’m sorry, I’ve never done something like that before.” Yukie mumbled feeling bad for hurting Darcy as he touched the knights cheek softly. “Use my bathroom to get you wounds cleaned I have a medical box under the sink.” Yukie explained as he got up and grabbed some washcloths and towels the demon turning on the water waiting for it to get hot.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy was about to point out he had experience dealing with a temperamental prince and a shy one was bound to be easier to handle. However Yukie was up and collecting things to help clean his wounds before the knight had a chance to tease him. Going after his lover, Darcy wrapped his arms around the young man from behind and nuzzled his neck. "You're sweet." The knight whispered and kissed the demon as thanks for his care. "It isn't as bad as it looks. The worst that can come of it is I end up with a scar to remind me of tonight." 

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Did you really like tonight with me?” Yukie asked a little nervous as the water turned nice and hot for them. Blushing at the close contact Yukie looked at Darcy before breaking his hold and stepping in the shower his face red. “Why don’t you join me and I’ll dress your wound after?” Yukie offered not wanting Darcy to leave anytime soon.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy hummed in agreement and followed the prince, saddened the young man had spilled out of his hold but knowing he had no right to complain since he'd been the first one to let go of his lover and leave him in bed.
-"Yes, I really liked tonight." The knight reassured his prince but wouldn't try to hold and touch him again right after the man had retreated from him. "Why would you think I didn't?"

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Well, I find with the status I have…most people are afraid of offending me. They often aren’t truthful if they like sex.” Yukie admitted as he relaxed under the warm water. “They would rather make me happy than let me know their honest reasons.” Yukie admitted a bit of pain and slight annoyance in his voice as he spoke seemingly from a recent experience. While Yukie could have been talking about any other demon he was talking about Luca who he had had an on and off relationship for the past while. While they had their differences Yukie thought that Luca was doing him out of love not a sense of duty and well he had realized it fully when Luca had chosen to leave for his bed instead of staying by Yukies side. “I have a hard time telling if others mean what they say.” Yukie explained with a sigh before mentioning for Darcy to join him. “Luca…he said he loved me and would always love me…but I guess he meant in a duty sense. When I asked him if he ever saw himself alongside me future wise he said he would rather quit than rule alongside me.” Yukie mumbled his voice full of hurt. “I feel like a fool around him.” Yukie whispered as he looked at Darcy. “I’m a little afraid of doing that again with you.”

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy stepped close to the prince and suppressed a hiss when water washed over him. The shallow cuts on his back had stopped bleeding by now, as did most of the bite marks on his shoulder, however the worst of the wounds was still open and the torn flesh turned red with blood again every time the water cleaned it out.

Listening to the prince share his insecurity the knight's demeanor changed until he seemed as cold and distant as a stranger and started avoiding his lover's eyes. "I'm not really your knight, remember? It's not my duty to make you happy." Darcy pointed out but the words were too grim to be reassuring and in stead served to remind him he'd become a traitor when he started entertaining the idea of staying with the prince. "I have to admit, I feel like a fool too. I knew you looked for the keeper first when you needed a lover for the night... but you spoke of having feelings for me and I convinced myself I could win you over if I did a better job in bed with you." The knight looked bitter but amused, like he was telling a joke. "I suppose I distracted you for a while but now that we're done he's the only thing you're thinking and talking about. I didn't realize how outmatched I really am."

The knight found it hard to be stand so close to the young man and walked away looking for something to dry himself off with. He'd known from the start he shouldn't trust the prince at his word but assured himself he wouldn't lose anything if they had some fun together, however with things put in context he couldn't help being angry with himself. If the keeper had wanted the prince in return the demon would have never considered Darcy and all of his other options. All the knight was given were the keepers leftovers. 

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“You won over my heart that’s something I don’t think he could ever do. With you I feel safe…and I feel so many different feelings then I’ve felt with my other partners. I do love you…I’m just afraid of being hurt again and tossed away the second you realize you don’t feel the same way.” Yukie replied as he finished washing himself and stepped out grabbing himself a towel and then offering one to Darcy.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

The prince professed his love so easily that Darcy couldn't tell if it was a sign he was being genuine or if it meant the young man was a skilled liar and charmer. He took the towel when offered and patter himself down in silence, his anger and jealousy and his fondness for the prince fighting one another. "Then... I suppose we'll see which one of us changes his mind first." The knight muttered, though he knew he wouldn't be the one to leave having given the prince his word and now feeling stubborn and spiteful. "As for Luca... once I find out where he sleeps he will never have a peaceful night again." He would do worse to the man than give him nightmares but he wouldn't sadden the prince by hurting his servants.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Give him a few restless nights that’s the least he can get for his actions.” Yukie replied with a small chuckle as he dried himself fully off. 
 

“young lord I brought you some tea, and cake. I was told by the cook to bring it up. It’s honey cake and tea.” The maid replied as she sat down the tray at the table before catching the two in the bathroom her face red.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

The tone of their conversation turned playful again and Darcy couldn't sustain his anger when the prince laughed and smiled. The question of who if either of them would betray their love was left for another time and the knight looked around the bathroom for the medical supplies the prince had mentioned. Hearing the maid he was unsurprised to see it was the same one who'd found him undressed before and when the woman caught sight of him and the prince he looked at her with an exasperated expression. It seemed his liege needed to order his servants to wear bells on their clothes in order to avoid them seeing everything that happened in the castle.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Thank you.” Yukie replied as he slipped on some pants. “Why don’t you go get a second set for Darcy. He will be taking his breakfast with me.” Yukie asked as the maid nodded and ran off to go prepare a bigger breakfast for the two the gossip already spreading like wildfire. “Need help?” Yukie offered as he slipped on a loose shirt while standing beside Darcy.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy spared the heap of clothes he'd left on the ground a glance. He preferred to put on something clean but that would mean going back to the barracks and in shadow form unless he meant to flash more of the castle staff. If the prince didn't mind him going about the room naked he was happy to stay undressed for now. He went to sit on the edge of the bed with medical supplies in hand and studied his shoulder again. "Yes, if you don't mind." He accepted the young man's offer, though capable of dressing the wound himself he liked the idea of letting his lover do it meanwhile he sat back and relaxed. 

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“I have spare clothes if you need some?” Yukie offered as he stood beside Darcy his hands carefully starting to clean the wound. As Yukie worked on the wounds he hummed softly wrapping and dressing each wound to perfection. “There I think that should work?” Yukie asked softly as he sat beside Darcy.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

Darcy would take the offered clothes but while Yukie dressed his wounds he sat still so not to give the prince any trouble. He'd intended to treat only the worst of the bite marks but his lover was more careful and took the time to clean and cover every mark he'd left on his flesh. "Thank you." The knight said with a smile and placed a chaste kiss on the young man's lips. "You should have slept if we're going to travel. I guess it's my fault for keeping you up..." He pointed out with a smirk, all the while gravitating closer to his lover having easily forgotten about the servants coming in and out of the room as well as getting himself dressed.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Mmh I can sleep with you in the carriage.” Yukie mumbled as he wrapped his arms around Darcy’s neck and kissed his lover back gently. “It’s a three days trip plenty of time for sleep.” Yukie explained as he snuggled into Darcy all the more. “My land is quite vast they live near the borders taking up quite the mountain space.” Yukie explained knowing the spiders liked to live away from the humans but due to the mountain area they lived growing food was hard for them.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

-"Everything is so far away in your kingdom." Darcy complained, remembering the multiple days of marching it took for the knights to arrive at the castle. He was thankful he wouldn't have to travel the whole way to meet the spider on foot too. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you. I didn't want to bother you with it when you were still hazy from the arrow." The knight explained, his lover's safety having suddenly become a concern in his mind when the prince mentioned traveling for multiple days. "The man who attacked you in the forest had an emblem on his clothes, I took it when i killed him. The keeper said it's a demon hunter badge and that you would know more about it than him." Darcy separated from the prince but only for long enough to rummage through his discarded clothes and find the item he was talking about.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“It’s a big kingdom.” Yukie replied with a smirk as he looked at Darcy for a moment mulling over his question. “Mmh I know of such things but not enough” Yukie replied as he frowned at the idea of demon hunters being in his land. “Why did you go to Luca instead of me?” Yukie asked softly as he waited to see what the patch looked like the demon worried that Darcy had come so close to something so dangerous.

[ZX-MetalMonster]

-"You were unconscious." Darcy pointed out in his defense. At the time he hadn't thought approaching Luca about the emblem would be an issue, however Darcy served the prince and not his advisors, his liege had every right to be upset with him for bringing the information to someone else. "Next time I'll come to you first." The knight promised and returned to his place beside the prince, handing the young man the stained patch he'd retrieved.

[Yukonwolfspirit]

“Mmh it’s part of my uncles group of hunters. His eldest son was the leader of them.” Yukie explained as he gently touched the patch the blood smell seeping into his senses. “You caught the middle son. He likes to drink his blood smells like alcohol.” Yukie mumbled as he gently handed the patch back. “I didn’t know they still existed around us.” Yukie admitted as he sighed annoyed that they still existed. “I thought my father exiled all of them for trying to kill me once when I was younger. He only spared my uncle because he swore he knew nothing about it. I never fully believed he wasn’t involved somehow.” Yukie mumbled as he got off the bed and grabbed a warm cloak to wear and pulled out a huge winter one for Darcy.
