A New Chance (18+)

[Arekushisu]

Akira blushed hearing where they were. Though it souned like he had servants stay here alot. Like he casually asked them to come here and sleep in his bed. He liked the feel of the master agianst him, he was warm against his cold body.

 

“Akira. I had a doctor called. He's a good man, and he's going to look you over to make sure you are going to recover without any more incidents. I trust this man, he's been in my life since I was child. He helped my mother when she gave birth to me and has been a loyal friend. You can trust him, alright?” The master said looking at him.

 

Akira's ears pushed back and he looked up at the master, "I-If you trust him then i will try my hardest." He said not sure what the doctor was going to do. He didnt like alot of physical contact with people he didnt know. He sighed and rubbed his eyes leaning back onto his master's chest. He took a deep breath closing his eyes smelling his scent. He gripped his shirt and he felt his ears pull back agian. He curled his tail around the master's arm that wasnt around him. He twirled it around about twice and sighed again finally calming down and getting ready to drift off to sleep.

[Envy]

Knight sat in the silence of his room as the figure against him fell asleep.

 

His frosty green eyes fell on the tail wrapped around his arm. It should have bothered him how close he always let the cat get to him. But it didn't. He found himself growing an sense of attachment to the younger male, one that had nothing to do with master and servant. He would find himself wondering what the cat was doing or where he was at different parts of the day, just random thoughts that would be there suddenly.

 

Yesterday, when he went ,missing, he had to fight with himself to remain calm. The longer it took them to locate him, the more he had to struggle. And finding him like that almost made him wish he could have beaten Simon within an inch of his life.

 

And it wasn't just the fact that he hated the man, or that it was someone he knew, it was mostly who it was he found in that hold.

 

Sighing inwardly, he looked down at the head of the sleeping cat his eyes traveling to his face so relaxed in slumber. He was so small it was hard to tell how old he was. And that disturbed him.

 

He would never touch someone so young, and he wasn't so sure Akira remembered his age. He couldn't even tell them his name when he arrived. Another problem with his growing attachment. He was lord here. Not just of the house, but the town and the surrounding providence. He couldn't very well be thinking of pursuing a child.

Nor did he want to use the boy.

 

He would never be aloud to give him a place by his side. His father would have a fit if he thought that his son, illegitimate or not, might actually consider taking someone as lowly as Akira as anything other than what he was now.

 

He'd tell him o use the boy for his enjoyment for as long as he liked until it came time to make an advantageous marriage. Then he would be expected to throw the cat to the side.

 

The sound of a knock on his door woke him from his thoughts.

 

He called to the person to enter and smiled when he saw his doctor walk into his room.

 

The small Elf was as always, beautiful with his sapphire colored hair braided down his back, and his sky blue eyes that sparkled with warmth as he looked his way. In many ways the Elf had been a father like figure to Knight as he grew up. Even now he felt a very warm affection for the Elf.

 

Klao examined the young cat boy once Knight woke him.

 

He was easy to get along with, and very warm and friendly. After wards he assured Knight that Akira just needed rest for another day and no type of excitement that would likely trigger another episode. Once he left, Knight had the cat lay back down so he could rest, not minding on letting him stay with him for a time.

[Arekushisu]

Akira woke to the master telling him about the doctor. He was another beautiful elf with braids down his back. Akira tried so hard not to reach up and touch them. He let the doctor examine him as long as he could keep his blanket hiding himself from the masters view. He setteled back down on the master's side feeling the warth agian. He purred and felt his tail find its place on the master's arm where it was before. He yawned and his ears went back then he felt them flick up and settle hearing just the master breathing.

 

Akira drifted off to sleep easily listening to the sound of the master's breathing. He didnt know why but sleeping here with the master seemed to make Akira blush. He was happy to be here with the man he loved. He just wished it was because the master loved him that he was here. Not some stupid breathing episode.

 

Before he fell asleep Akira knead his claws into the masters chest gently pulling in and out making himself comfterable. He sighed in content and whispered, "I love you lord knight." Lightly on his lips just to feel them out. He was to tired to care if the master heard him or didnt. He drifted off to sleep listening to the master's heartbeat speed up.

[Envy]

Not knowing what to think of the cats words, Knight tried not to dwell on them for too long.

 

There were different types of love, ans he could have meant something that might not mean what he was thinking at all.

 

Rei visited and he gave him instructions to clean Akira's room and bring them something to eat since the boy was all but spread out on him. He didn't want to wake him, he looked like he needed the rest.

 

Rei returned with the food, placing the tray on the nightstand before he left to do as he asked about the cats room.

 

Reluctantly, he woke the younger male from his sleep calling his name and shaking him gently, not wanting to scare him.

 

“Akira,wake up.” he said “I want you to try and eat something.”

[Arekushisu]

Akira woke from his amazing dream to the sound of his name being called. He shifted and opened his eyes looking into the eyes of his master. Akira sat up and took his arms away from around his waist but leaving his tail around his arm. He felt attached to him, like he mattered. He was hopeing he wouldnt have to eat. He didnt want to see anything else coughed back up.

 

He sat back looking at the master, "I-I'm not hungry though." He said looking at the soup on the side table. He looked back at the master tightening his tail applying pressure.

[Envy]

Knight sat up fully and reached for the bowl

 

“It's nothing but broth. You should be able to keep it down. You must have something to help you get better.” he told him as the arm his tail was wrapped around went around his hips and pulled him over to his side as he turned, letting his legs fall over the side.

 

Just to see if it would work, he spooned some of the beef and vegetable broth, blew on it until it wasn't so hot, and raised it to the cats mouth, waiting for him to take it.

[Arekushisu]

Akira wasnt happy when the master pulled him over to the edge of the bed. Akira was still naked and the chill on his shoulders made him shiver. He looked at the soup and frowned. He frowned again watching the master pick up the spoon and blow on the bite he spooned out then placing the spoon at his mouth. Akira tilted his ears back and took the bite looking up at the master. He wasnt at all happy and his tail tightened on the masters arm.

 

He let the master spoon feed him, it seemed he couldnt say no to him. The food was good in his empty stomach but he didnt like the way it turned. He hated it, not wanting to be eating it afraid of seeing it again that night. He looked up at the master when all the food was gone with his ears back. "I ate." He said in a grumpy mood. He was sulking but he didnt care really. If being sick made the master look at him he would try his best to look it.

[Envy]

Knight chuckled as he put the spoon down. He only gave him about half of the broth, not wanting to make him sick again.

 

“Alright Akira, you can lay down now.” he said as he moved the covers around him to get them untangled, but he never looked down because he knew he was naked under the sheets. Once he had him down, he looked at him.

 

“Do you know how old you are?” he asked him curiously.

[Arekushisu]

Akira snuggled against the master feeling his warmth after the cold air licked his body from him moving the covers. Akira's ears pushed back and he sat up at the master's question. “Do you know how old you are?”

 

Akira flinched shaking his head trying to remember. He knew the question would come up soon enough. He held his head thinking hard. "I-I'm at least...17 or 18." He said thinking more. He gave up finally putting his head in his hands and covering his ears from an unknown sound that hurt them. He didnt want to hear the master tell him he wasnt old enough to love him.

 

Akira didnt even know what his name was. He didnt deserve to be treated so kindly. He crossed his legs and pulled his tail away from the master curling it around his waist. He hated feeling like he was nothing to the master but a lowly servent. He teared up thinking this and hid his face. He couldnt even stop crying for a day before he was at it again thinking of something else that saddened him. He scooted away slighty pulling his knees to his chest. He didnt like being the only one in love.

[Envy]

Knight frowned some when Akira curled up into himself.

 

If he had thought the question would have cause this sort of reaction, he would have kept his curiosity to himself. Swinging his legs back onto the bed and stretching them out, he reached over and pulled the small balled up body to his side so that his back rested against his hip and leg.

 

He pried one of the cats hands from his ears, holding it in his.

 

“ It's alright Akira. Its nothing to worry over.” he told him.

 

His other hand went into the boys hair to help calm him down. It was just as he thought. The cat didn't remember his age with much accuracy, though its not as bad as he had thought. At least he was much older then he looked. He ran his fingers in the dark hair of the younger males head slowly, letting the strands slid between the long digits as he looked down at him as he kept a hold of his hand.

[Arekushisu]

Akira sniffed not really sure why he was crying anymore. He tightend his hold on the others hand and squeezed tightly. He never wanted to let go. He snuggled into his arm and looked out into the gardens outside. He didnt understand anymore...he knew he wanted the master but needed to know if his efforts were waisted or not. He started to purr as he calmed down moving his tail in a lazy way over the master's hips. He leaned into his hand stroking his head and stopped crying where it was just little sniffs here and there.

[Envy]

Knight silently worked his fingers into the younger males hair, and when he was sure he had fallen asleep again, he slipped from the bed.

 

He got clean clothing and headed to his own private bathing room.

 

As he soaked, he wondered what he should do with the cat. It was clear Akira liked him, well now it was, thanks to the whole 'I love you' thing. He didn't think it was actually love, they hardly knew each other. But than again, love didn't work that way, or so he's heard.

 

Sighing, he sunk lower, he honestly didn't know what to say to him about this. Knight did think he was in love, in fact he was very sure he wasn't. But... he did find himself drawn to Akira, rather strongly. If only he knew his age, then things might be different.

 

He began to wash himself, thinking more on how to find out more about the cat, it might take a while, but he was sure someone somewhere knew him. In the meanwhile he would try and keep things between them friendly at least.

 

He would explain it to him, he didn't want him to think he was rejecting him. Nor did he want him to think he wanted to use him. After he was done, he got out and dried off. Pulling on loose pants and a sleeping tunic on, he walked back into his room, drying his hair with a towel.

 

Walking back to his bed, he looked down at the sleeping boy.

 

He really should send him back to his own room, but he had a feeling it would upset him, so he let that thought go and went back to his closet. He collected one of his shirts like the one he wore, and went back to the cat. He slipped it on him, without seeing anything more then bare chest, arms, and legs.

 

Soon he climbed into the bed with one of the lamps turned down by the bed in case the cat woke during the night. There were two sheets separating them so he felt comfortable with lying next to him. He stayed awake another hour before he turned over onto his side and got comfortable. His eyes were on the sleeping face of the cat before he drifted off.

[Arekushisu]

Akira woke to the sound of...nothing. He woke feeling someone next to him. He yawned and stretched out his legs feeling fabric on him. He looked down seeing a sleeping shirt then blushed seeing one that looked like it next to him on the master. Akira smiled seeing his sleeping face. He stood and went to what was the bathroom.

 

He came back standing next to the master with the shirt landing just at his mid-thighs and fallign off one of his shoulders. He flattened his ears and nudged the masters cheek lightly. His stomach hurt again and he had just gotten done being sick so he wanted to tell him to ask if he could help any. He frowned seeing the nudge didnt work. He blushed and leaned over licking his cheek lightly rubbing his head on his cheek agian. "M-master." He said in a trembling voice saying he was sick.

 

He pushed on his shoulder and purred loudly in his ear. "M-master." He said again with his ears flat and laying his head on his chest. "W-wake up pleas.." The end of the sentence was cut off by a sob. He still stood next to the bed resting his arms under his head as a pillow on the masters chest.

[Envy]

Knight woke in time to hear the sob and to feel a pressure on his chest.

 

Opening his eyes, he looked down to see Akira laying against him but he wasn't in the bed. Reaching out he wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him into the bed and up against his body. His fingers of his free hand went into the boys hair.

 

“Shh... Akira.” he said sleepily “What wrong?” he asked him as the arm around him began to move as he rubbed the cats back with his hand, his eyes half lidded.

[Arekushisu]

Akira tightened his grip on the masters shirt when he was settled next to him with his arms around him. He purred but kept his ears down looking at the master still half asleep. "M-my stomach hurts." He said laying his head down groaning lightly. He would be so happy after the drug past. It was probably in the last stages and was just trying to push its way out of Akira's system.

 

"I-I cant sleep it hurts.." He said touching the masters cheek with his head nuzzling him and purring lightly. "C-can i have some of the drink from last time?" He asked looking up at the master and feeling his hand rub his back calming him. This was the first time the master embraced Akira on his own. Akira felt the fabric shift when he moved his hand pulling it to just bellow his butt. He really didnt care how much of him the master saw. Akira knew that he loved this man no matter what that wouldnt change.

[Envy]

It was his reaction to the boy nuzzling him and rubbing against him that made Knight fully wake up.

 

He had just had a stern talk with himself last night about the boy, but he couldn't help his reaction as his half sleep mind began to clear. He gently laid the cat down and slipped out of bed before he got any further then just thoughts.

 

“I'll go get it.” he said as he gave his head a sweep with his hand.

 

He walked across the room and left quietly.

 

When he reached the kitchen, he made the tea he had made the day before, chuckling at the looks he got when he arrived in the kitchen so early and dressed in his sleeping clothes. He hardly left his room without being dressed for the day, so his servants weren't use to seeing him this way.

 

While he waited for the tea to steep, he grabbed some dry toast and an apple for himself. He ate the fruit, speaking with the staff in the kitchen with him before he finished the tea and took it and the toast back to his room.

 

He placed the tea and toast on the nightstand by the bed before he sat down and encoruaged the cat to come sit with him.

[Arekushisu]

When the master left Akira curled up into the warm spot in the bed he left. He wanted to feel him against his skin but couldnt. He felt his tail push up the shirt and he could feel the cool air on the back of his legs. He heard the door open and the master walk in. He made his tail fall covering himself. He looked over at him and saw tea and bread. Akira flattened his ears and hesitantly went to the master sitting beside him.

 

"T-thank you." He said looking up at the master then back to the ground. He knew he wasnt supposed to be doing this and he knew it was wrong that he was here in the masters bed. His ears stayed flattened and his tail curled around his ankle which was pulled under him. He pushed up the shirt back over his shoulder for it had fallen to expose his chest.

[Envy]

Seeing the flat ears and the way he clung to the shirt, he placed a hand on the boys back and began to rub in circles between his shoulder blades comfortingly.

 

“You're welcome.” he said as he handed him the cup of tea.

 

When he was done, Knight took the cup back from him and pointed at the toast.

 

“Do you think you can eat at least one piece ?” he asked him.“If you think you can't, then I won't push it on you.” he added.

[Arekushisu]

Akira started to purr lightly feeling him touching his back. He took the tea still holding up his shirt with one hand. He finished it and looked up at the master. "I-I'm not hungry after that..." He said shivering lighly and curling back up on the masters chest. He was breathing heavy trying to calm down. His stomach was still settling down and he was dozing off again. "Master?" He asked looking up at him with his ears flat. "Y-you like me right?" He asked wanting to get his answer once and for all.

[Envy]

Knight wrapped an arm around the smaller male and shifted himself so his legs were stretched out on the bed and his back rested on the pillows against the headboard. Once he was settled, his other hand went to the cats hair and gently ran his fingers into it.

 

“Yes Akira.” he answered.

 

He looked at him, his frosty green eyes serious “I like you, but...” he sighed lightly “ ..there are somethings standing in the way though. For instants, we don't know your age for definite. Another is... my family. My father to be exact. He rules this kingdom as it's king. He'd allow me to have you as a lover, but beyond that... he wouldn't. You don't deserve to be used and thrown away when something more advantageous comes along.”

 

He fell quiet for a moment, “I... don't want you getting hurt by any of this. Yes, I want you. But, I'm unsure if it'd be for the best. I'm really undecided.”

[Arekushisu]

Akira's ears flattened and he looked up at the master. "I-I'm not getting hurt. I love you. I dont care if you throw me away...being with you enough makes me happy." He smiled lightly. He kept his ears down as he nudged the masters chin with his head. "I-I dont mind...as long as i'm with you i dont care." He looked up at the master then away.

 

"I-It makes me happy to hear you say that." He blushed and layed his head down on the masters chest. "I want to be with you master...even if its only for a short while. You have never done anything but be nice to me." He purred lightly dozing off again for the effects of the tea was hitting his stomach and making him sleepy. "W-we can talk about this after i sleep some...i cant stay up anymore." He yawned and stretched his legs feeling it go to the top of his thighs closer to showing everything to the master. He didnt care anymore though, he was to tired to care about the revealing shirt and clutched the masters in his hand.

[Envy]

Knight sighed lightly at the cats words.

 

He cared if he used or hurt him. He didn't want to, and he wanted to make that very clear to the cat, but he didn't argue and simply rubbed his back to comfort him to sleep. He shifted until he was laying back into the pillows resting his body in a slight incline with Akira laid out on him.

 

He pulled the covers over them both, rested his chin atop of the boys head, and he too was soon asleep.

 

When he woke again it well pass morning and Karen was sneaking into his room with a cup in her hand that had steam coming off it. Seeing him looking at her, she froze , but after a moment she smiled and pointed to the mug.

 

“I thought he might need another one.” she whispered.

 

Knight only nodded and she continued to place the cup down.

 

“I'll … uh come back when you ring....” she said before she rushed out the door.

 

Knight couldn't help but chuckle at her quick departure. It wasn't like he and Akira were naked. Pulling himself into sitting like earlier, he woke the cat calling his name and shaking him gently enough not to startle him. He noticed the mug and plate of toast was gone, so that meant Karen had been there at east twice.

 

“Akira, wake up. I need you drink some more tea.” he said, not to mention they had been asleep for hours now.

[Arekushisu]

Akira woke to the sound of the master calling his name. He yawned and stretched out his body happy he was covered. He could feel the shirt pull up to the top of his stomach. He blushed and sat up looking at the master. He looked at the mug then the uneasy feeling from his stomach hit and he nodded. "Thank you master." He flattened his ears not liking the sound of the masters name anymore. He took the mug from him and took a sip feeling the hot liquid go down his throut. He looked up at the master through his eyelashes. "H-how long were we out? D-dont you need to go to work?" He asked with a sad note to his voice.

[Envy]

“I'm not sure. But I think several hours now.” he answered his question. “And no, I don't really have anything that I have to do that can't wait one more day.” he added.

 

He watched as the younger male finished his tea before he took the mug and placed it back on the nightstand. Feeling his stomach grumble in hunger he figured he forgot to eat that morning, even last night because he was seeing to the cat's well being he neglected himself.

 

Reaching over to the side of the post of the bed he pulled a red velvet rope, before he looked back to the other male

 

“Would you like a bath Akira?” he asked him

[Arekushisu]

Akira nodded though he really didnt want to get rid of the shirt he wore. It no longer smelled like the master but he wanted to wear it still because it was the masters. Akira stood on his knees and crawled to his master nuzzling him gently. "W-will you help me again?" He asked his master looking up at him with a pleading look. The shirt being to big hung down at the collar and it was open for the master to see all. Akira knew this and smiled lightly licking his masters ear. "I want to take a bath with you." He said with his ears pulled back returning to the spot furthest from the master. He knew showing such affection was probably bad but he really didnt care anymore. About anything...the fact he would be thrown away..or even the fact the master didnt love him the same way Akira loved him. He looked down feeling his tail move slowly beside him touching him every so often.
