The Prince and The Traveler (Envy)

[RavenLunar]

Name: Sukita Mathers

Age: 20

Hair: Brownish Red

Eyes: Teal Blue

Hgt: 5'7"

 

Personality: Shy, random, polite, quiet, book smart, and always curious of new things and his surroundings. Even though Sukita is quiet he was oddly one of the popular kids during high school as the students were always curious of him considering he kept his opinions and thoughts to himself but would make a point when he needed to.Even though he seems very innocent he has a dirty side too but that has yet to be seen by anyone.

 

Bio: Sukita grew up with his mother and older brother, he never knew his father since he left before he was even born. His older brother did his best to support them and growing up Sukita wanted to be a great person that could change their world. He became interested in excavation and archaeological work at a young age when he found fossils in his backyard and was paid a small reward by a local museum.He studied day and night on an ancient civilization that had disappeared centuries ago but no one knew what happened to it as there was no evidence of natural or even supernatural causes for this.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

'Its so hot...'

 

'Its soooo hot...'

 

Looking around all Sukita could see was sand, rocks, sand, dried brush, sand, and of course sand. Groaning his body felt so heavy and tired as he could barely walk anymore, the sun beating him down as there was no tiny bit of cloud cover what so every. Taking his cantine he opened the top and managed to get a tiny sip of water, looking into the container the boy sighed, "Only one more sip left..." He dryly stated smacking his sticky lips but they would soon be dry again. Slowly he began to force his feet to start walking trying to find some ounce of shade, the tiniest bit of refuge away from the burning sun in the dessert. What was he doing there? It started two days ago when he had came to this island to study a rare species of animal but sadly that was just a lie.

 

Thinking about it Sukita felt stupider and stupider as he had been stranded, abandoned, and left for dead on this island hell. His colleagues had sent him off to look for something but after an hour when he got back he had watched them laughing and waving at him from their boat. He didn't know how long he waited on the beach for them but he knew he didn't start walking till he couldn't see the boat anymore or the jeers from the cruel people. This was not how he had hoped to be spending his summer intermship at all, he had been offered the scholarship of a life time at one of the top schools in the nation. To be taught and study under the greatest explorers of the modern world but that dream quickly died when he realized what had happened and the fact that he was all alone.

 

It had became night by the time Sukita stopped walking, his eyes were heavy and his body only felt worse. Looking up at the sky he could see the moon and stars so clearly, it was so beautiful as it gave him a little comfort. 'I'm going to die here aren't I?' The thought was morbid but what else could he do? He had drank his last sip of water and his body was so weak he could no longer move. 'Wonder if I'll ever be found?Why did this have to happen to me? I wish I could have done more with my life, I've never even had my first kiss.' The young boy sighed feeling a few tears running down his face while his glasses fogged up from his body heat. Closing his eyes he made a tiny wish, a wish that he wanted the chance of being with his true love if he ever survived this. With that final thought Sukita welcomed darkness as he had passed out from exhaustion.

 

'drip...drip...

 

"Mmm?"

 

drip...drip...

 

"W-wha?"

 

Hearing something Sukita began to move his body but something didn't feel right, something was covering him. Slowly his hands began to move around to try and feel for his surroundings but felt his fingers touching different textures, something rough that felt like stone, something soft like a feather, then something smooth like leaf. Grunting he began to fight for his eyes to open as he felt around his face still feeling his glasses there. Finally his eyes began to flutter open as his teal orbs needed to adjust to his surroundings and could start to see different shapes and colors in his vision.

 

Sitting up the young male took his glasses off to rub at his eyes taking notice that he wasn't on the hard ground but on something soft and cushiony. Widening his eyes he was greeted by what looked to be like a tropical paradise! Looking around he could see beautiful leaves and flowers all around him and the sweet smell of them in the air but what really caught his attention was a person sitting at the foot of the bed, his jaw slightly dropped feeling nervous and startled at someone else being there with him. Gulping the boy knew he needed to know how to get out of there and the only way for him to get started was to talk to the stranger, "E-Excuse me...who are you and where am I?"

[Envy]

Jasair found it strange.. to have found someone like this man just lying out in the sands in the night.

 

The man wasn't of this place, that much had been apparent as soon as he had been lifted unconscious and given to him by one of his guards. Once they had returned to his home, he had carried him inside himself. Of course not everyone in his household had been happy to find out about the strange man he had come across.

 

His people were always suspicious of outsiders, and this time was no different. But as he watched the man sleep, the more he felt compelled to keep him. So on the spur of the moment, a thought ran through his mind, and he went with it.

 

He had married the stranger.

 

This of course had his people confused, but they did not question him. Foreigner or not, the man was now his, and for a reason he was not so sure of, that thought pleased him.

 

He was brought out of his thoughts when the man on the bed began to wake. Jasair found he was more then a bit anxious to speak with this new addition in his life. He wanted to know more about him, to hear him speak so he could find out his name, where he was from, and how he had come to be in the sands last night.

 

Quietly, he watched him, a small smile appeared at his confused expression when he looked around himself, then he chuckled softly as the mans jaw dropped once he noticed his presence. At his questions, Jasair's smile widened a little more.

 

“You are in my home. I found you last night, and brought you here. You would have died otherwise once the sun rose again.” he replied with the same smile still in place.

 

“I am prince Jasair, your husband.”

[RavenLunar]

Looking at the mystery man Sukita was still trying to put his head together but what really awakened him of what the man had said last. Eyes wide he looked the prince over as he was in shock for a moment but then began to laugh as he shook his head not believing any of this and that this whole situation was a mirage. Him? MARRIED? This must be a total joke! "Alright guys very funny now come on out, the joke is over!" He called out hoping to see his colleagues come out with cameras and microphones but no one stepped out. Sitting there for a moment or two Sukita could feel himself begin to sweat and panic. "O-Oh my gods...wait wait! How can we be married? I can assure you I am a male and I'm pretty sure so are you! How is this even possible?"

 

Moving the covers from his body he went to stand up but soon fell back into the bed groaning holding his head as he could feel it spinning. "S-So hungry...thirsty..." He whimpered curling up in a ball to try and steady his spinning head as he didn't realize he was now closer to the prince as his teal orbs looked to the man. Slowly he sat up holding out his hands to keep his distance and took in a deep breath, "Okay if this is real where am I? How did you find me in the desert and what do you mean by you're my...h-husband?" The male blushed as he needed to at least get something nutritious into his body, he could barely hold his head up at this rate so running away from this person would be a stupid idea.

 

Looking around the room but slower he wondered how he got into such a tropical setting, he was sure the island was inhabited, was he missing something? Glancing at the flowers on the walls Sukita slowly crawled over to one and brushed his fingertips against its petals and sighed. "So pretty..." He whispered to himself as he awaited for Jasair to answer him. "I'm...this isn't a dream is it?"

[Envy]

Jasair sat and watched the other mans reaction to his words.

 

He found it all rather amusing, and chuckled as he listened to him call out for what he assumed to be his missing companions. Which meant at some point he hadn't been all alone. He would look into that later. No one was suppose to be on the island except those that worked for him without his permission. Which lead him to wonder why here and why would anyone leave the boy behind in the first place.

 

He was brought out of those thoughts by his young husbands panic.

 

When he tried to stand, he didn't stop him, knowing the results, he wasn't in any condition to try and move, but he'd let him discover that for himself. When he dropped back down to the bed, he was about to ask him if he was alright, but stopped when he held his hands up.

 

At his questions, he smiled lightly. Still quiet, he watched as he seemed to finally calm down and was admiring the plants.

 

“No, this is not a dream. You are on my private island. I was out for a ride last night, and came across you in the sand and since you had nothing to protect you from the sun, I assumed you had fainted from the heat. As you noticed, you are suffering from too much exposure. As for the fact you are male, that had not escaped me since I was the one to carry you here and bathed you before putting in the bed to rest.”

 

“And our marriage, I assure you, is quite legal. In my country, I can marry without the person's presence or consent, all I need is said persons name, Sukita.”

 

It hadn't been hard to find out information on the young man once he found his wallet in the pants he had been wearing when he undressed him for a bath. His men had found out all they could about the boy before he decided to marry him.

 

“We can talk more as you eat. I'll return shortly.” he said as he stood up to leave.

[RavenLunar]

'P-Private...island?" The male stuttered as he wasn't sure how much more shock he could take in one day but the faster he gets the information he needed the faster he could try to figure out how to get out of there. Laying back down on the bed Sukita could no longer hold up his body as all he wanted to do was sleep off the discomfort and weakness he felt but right now he was starting to focus more on getting something to eat into his stomach. "This...it feels like a dream..." He whispered running his fingers through his hair as he listened to the prince.

 

Hearing that he was bathed by the very person beside him made him blush deeply and bit his bottom lip feeling a sense of self consciousness and embarrassment.His stomach dropped at hearing that his marriage was legal in this country and the fact that Jasair knew a lot more than he thought about him. Nodding lightly he didn't want to talk right now as he knew that it would only confuse him even more.

 

"Why marry me?" He simply asked before Jasair left him alone to his thoughts.

 

The room felt nice and cool against Sukita's still overly warmed skin and the bed itself felt like it had been on a block of ice even through he was laying on animal pelts. Sighing he shook his head trying to think about the past few days of his life. One minute it seemed he had real friends for the first time in his life only to be dumped on some island god knows where in the ocean. Next nearly starving to death in a desert and then like an angel from the heavens get swept up and rescued by a prince. To top it off be married without even knowing who the prince was and no stuck somewhere else with a husband he knew nothing about.

 

"Whhhyyyy!" Sukita whined out to the ceiling as his eyes opened seeing the canopy of leaves and flowers. "I hope the food is good here..." The male softly spoke as he began to think of delicious and creepy looking food as it only made his stomach growl even louder. The last thing Sukita even remembered eating was half of a granola bar he had rationed, it was his favorite peanut butter kind. The small thought made the male relax as he did his best to try and see the bright side of his situation instead of the bad.

[Envy]

He was deep in thought as he made his way from the kitchen.

 

Jasair knew the man he claimed as his husband would want more answers to his questions, but for now, he was more concerned in getting him something to eat and drink to help him recover. He wasn't certain what the man would like, but he was certain what he had prepared would be good enough. Nothing too heavy for his stomach to handle in case he couldn't handle it.

 

He walked back into his room with a young maid following with the tray of food in his wake.

 

“Sukita, I've returned.” he said as he walked towards the bed.

 

Leaning down he piled the pillows on the bed against the headboard so the younger man will be able to sit up in order to eat. He helped the smaller man to sit up and back onto the pillows. Turning he took the pitcher and tray from the young girl before he dismissed her.

 

He then placed the tray, with a bowl of fruits and a plate of warm flat breads, a small bowl of honey over the mans lap, taking the empty glass and filling it from the pitcher before placing them both on the small table on the bedside.

 

“When you are done, we can talk more if you are up to it.” he said as he lowered himself onto the bed once again.

[RavenLunar]

Laying on the bed the young boy had almost fell back asleep till her heard the door open and heard Jasair speaking to him. Leaning up he saw a maid come walking in with him making his brows raise but decided not to waste anymore energy with questioning right now. Relaxing he allowed the man to help him sit up against the comfy pillows then saw what was on the tray.

 

Sukita could smell the sweetness of the fruit already with his sensitive nose, even the bread and honey had a sweet scent. Licking his lips he didn't take any time to start drizzling some honey on the fruit along with the bread. "Itadakimasu!" He happily chirped then took a piece of fruit into his mouth groaning as he felt the juices run down his dried throat. Glancing at the glass that was being filled he slowly took it then took a few small sips not wanting to over do it.

 

The young male continued to eat the food as slow as he could not wanting to throw up or choke. The fruit was different than what he had before as a few were known but there were some other pieces he didn't know what kind of fruit they were but savored the taste. The bread warmed his mouth as it went down smoothly and helped fill up his stomach. "Mmmm this is really good...what kind of fruit is this? I've never had it before, its really sweet and have a smooth texture...almost like eating a peach!" He smiled as he had already eaten half of his food, his glass nearly empty.

[Envy]

“Nectarine.” the prince said in answer, satisfied that the younger man was enjoying his meal.

 

There wasn't much on the plate and bowl for now, until he was certain that he'd be able to handle it. He was silent as he waited for him to be done. There were many things to discuss between them. He wanted to know why he had been left here, and by whom so he could find them.

 

It was rather cruel to leave someone in the middle of nowhere with nothing to help them survive, and even if the man he had married wasn't angry, he was. No one had a right to place another life at risk like that.

 

When the plate and bowl were empty, he gave the other a small smile before he stood and took the tray from his lap. He walked to the door, and left it outside his door for it to be picked later. Closing it, he turned back to the bed and reclaimed his place.

 

“Are you up for talking now? Or shall I let you rest more?” he asked.

 

He was in no hurry, they had more then enough time to talk, but he knew Sukita might want more answers.

[RavenLunar]

"Nectarine?" Smiling lightly he nodded and soon finished his meal as he leaned back sighing in content and rubbing his now satisfied stomach. Even though there was no meat Sukita had to admit that it had been the best meal he's had in a while. Feeling the tray being removed he watched the older man taking it to the door and placing it outside, as he came back he heard the questions then pondered for a moment or two on it.

 

"We can talk more..." He softly spoke and sat up more as he looked around the room taking it in more as he was no longer focused on his stomach and felt a little stronger that he had.

 

"Will I be allowed to leave this room soon?" It was a simple question but the young man wasn't the type to like being caged in a room for too long. "Am I allowed to roam around freely? Or will I have to be...escorted?" He spoke carefully not wanting to overstep any lines.

 

"I still don't understand why you married me out of the blue like this. We don't know anything about each other..." He lightly spoke looking down to his hands feeling a blush rising to his cheeks, his own mind was so confused with thoughts of the handsome prince and his own feelings. His heart's feelings and the feelings his brain is trying to tell him to feel, it was an annoyance to the man.

[Envy]

Jasair listened to the man in the bed as he asked him questions before he could ask any of his own.

 

He decided to answer them in the order they came to him.

 

“You are allowed to leave this room when you are felling better.” he began “You will be able to go where you like, with a few exceptions. And there will always be a bodyguard or two with you at all times. I have chosen a few candidates for that role. You can choose from them whichever you wish to be your guard.”

 

“You may think this will not be needed, but I assure you. Once word gets out about our joining, there will be. My family are not without enemies. I can not express enough how important I is to keep your guard within reach when you are out and about. When you are alone in a room with me, they are not to enter unless told otherwise.”

 

He sat silently for a moment to let all he had said sink in.

 

“Now as to why I married you.” he said finally, knowing this was surely what the other was most interested in.

 

“I married you for three reasons. One, Though this is my island, most of the guarding staff work for my eldest brother, who rules our home. It is forbidden for anyone that is not a member of our households to be left here without invitation. Which leads to the second reason. You would have been taken from the island, and sent to face a judgment from my brothers. They would have thrown you in prison, and no one would have heard from you again.”

 

“And the last reason. When I was riding, for some reason my horse would not go in the direction I wished of him. Finally I allowed him to walk freely, and he lead me to you. When I would have turned away, the moon broke through the clouds, and I saw you. I am unsure why, but the moment I saw you, I felt this sudden urge to look after you, and the longer I was near you, I wished to keep you with me. So, the best solution was to marry you.”

 

He grew quiet, watching for an reaction.

[RavenLunar]

As Sukita listened he tried his best to absorb ever bit of information he could from the prince, each explanation only brought more questions to his mind as he but his bottom lip to try and keep quiet while the man spoke. Finally his last question was answered of the reasoning for the joining but what he heard made him feel more stunned and confused about his own feelings more than anything.

 

The young male remained quiet for a few moments to let everything soak in then his eyes looked at the man as it held question but curiosity. "I-I...wow. Its a lot to take in, I think I'll hold off the rest of my questions for now. You felt something for me?" He asked carefully once again as he looked the other over a few times then looked back into his own lap.

 

"Do you still have my backpack? I would like to have it back as soon as possible please, I have a lot of irreplaceable things in it." Moving his legs Sukita curled them up to his chest as he wrapped his arms around them to rest his head on his knees.

 

"To be honest Jasair...my heart is confused and so is my mind. There's so much to take in right now that I'm having a little trouble taking it all in right now." Sukita softly confessed to the prince as he could feel his blush rising in his cheeks even more as he looked up to him then back to his knees. "I think that will be all the questions for me, if you want to ask me any questions I'll do my best to answer them."

[Envy]

The younger mans confusion was more than understandable.

 

If he had been in the others situation, he would be just as confused. As it stood, it was confusing to him too. But he was being honest. Every word he said had been the truth and the other would come to know they were without a doubt later.

He gave a small nod of his head about his back pack.

 

“It was found with you and is safe.” he confirmed.

 

Getting up, he walked to the other side of the room to the upright wardrobe. Opening it, he reached inside and pulled the backpack out. Closing the door, he walked back to the younger man in his bed. He gently laced the bag on the bed beside him before he took his place once again on the bedside.

 

“I do have a lot of questions for you. But I will hold off for now.” he said as he settled himself. “You should rest so you can recover quickly.”

 

He gave him a small smile “There are so many things waiting for you once you are well.”

[RavenLunar]

Watching the male he was soon sighing with relief seeing his backpack being placed beside him as he lightly smiled. Taking it he opened the bag to look inside seeing his things were still intact then nodded closing it back. "Thank you..."

 

Laying back in the bed Sukita sighed hearing that there were many things out there for him to discover as his eyes looked over Jasair for a moment studying him but couldn't help but to blush at the sweet smile sent his way as he averted his eyes for a moment. "A-Alright, I'm looking forward to your questions and seeing your home, I can't wait to be able to explore again. I love exploring new places and drawing new things." His voice began to lower with each word till the young male didn't realize he had drifted back into a steady sleep, this time his stomach was full and his body was no longer in such pain.

 

Hearing the chirping of birds the young explore couldn't help but to stir in his sleep, blinking Sukita's eyes began to open as he felt his body was done with sleep. Sitting up slowly he rubbed his eyes and stretched almost jumping at where he was but then remembered what had happened, "Jasair..." He whispered more to himself as he looked around the room then moved to set his feet on the side of the bed.

 

The room seemed lighter than the last time he remembered as he continued to hear what sounded like birds chirping. "How long did I sleep?" He spoke to himself as he looked around then slowly stood up from the bed as he still felt his legs were a little weak but did his best to regain his balance. Slowly he walked along the floor wondering where the prince was or if he had missed him sleeping in the bed beside him.

[Envy]

Jasair sat back in his chair with a slow sigh.

 

He brought his hands up, his fingers rubbing against his tired eyes. Two hours of staring at the large screen in the media room wasn't his ideal way of spending time, but he had no choice. His brothers wanted a video conference with him.

 

His marriage of course was the topic of the call.

 

He had spent the better part of their chat giving them all the information he had on his new husband, and then explaining why he had suddenly decided to attach the boy to himself and changing their marital status. Of course they both gave him multiple reasons why he should renounce the marriage and send the boy home.

 

And he of course decided to ignore them. If he decided to do end this marriage, it would be his own choice.

 

Getting up, he walked from the room towards his own. He wanted a shower, then perhaps he'd crawl into bed and sleep. He hadn't shut his eyes since he found Sukita the night before, and his talk with his brothers sapped what energy he had left.

 

Opening the door to his room, his eyes automatically went to the bed, and finding it empty he frowned.

 

“Sukita...” he called out looking for the other man.

[RavenLunar]

Sukita had managed to find the bathroom and nature had a tall order for him to fill, the male had no idea how his body managed to do what it did in his sleep but he was relieved to find a toilet that flushed and running hot water. He wanted a bath but decided against it as he didn't want to drown in the large tub or even try to stand up in the shower stall for fear of losing his balance and falling again.

 

After relieving himself he washed his hands and dried them but then heard his name being called, looking to the door the male walked out the door looking to see the prince. Blushing softly he bit his bottom lip nibbling it as he slowly walked from the door frame, "Right here..."

 

"S-Sorry had to go to the bathroom...urm how long have I been asleep? What time is it?" He gently asked the noticed the tired look on the man's face as it oddly made him feel a large amount of worry.

 

"O-Oh my...you look exhausted, you should lay down." The male spoke out as he gently took the other's hand and walked him over to the bedside to sit him down feeling so comfortable being so close to the other in that moment.

 

"Is everything alright? I didn't want to leave the room without you here, you're the only person I really know here." The male shyly spoke out rubbing the back of his neck as he softly smiled then looked to his hands in his lap.

[Envy]

Watching the younger man as he walked out of the bathroom then over to him, Jasair allowed himself to be seated in the bed, his eyes still on the other when he sat by his side.

 

“Everything is fine.” he answered the question in a reassuring tone.

 

He didn't mention speaking with his brothers at the moment. There was still time for that. Besides, no matter how much they disapproved, they couldn't make him give up Sukita. So he saw no reason to possibly upset the young man, when he already had other things to adjust to. Placing a hand on one of the other mans, he turned it in his own before he slowly stood, keeping a light hold on it.

 

“Come, “ he said before pulling on a velvet rope hanging by the beds headboard, hidden in the folds of the curtains of the canopy.

 

“I know you have slept, but I have not. We should get cleaned, it will help you relax.” he finished, gently pulling him along as he made his way to the bathroom.

[RavenLunar]

Hearing that things were fine Sukita was too tired to think anything else as he softly nodded his head and felt the other's hand on his making his stomach flip flop. Blushing lightly he softly nodded listening to the prince as he saw Jasair pulling on a velvet rope as he felt his hand being tugged making him get up out of reflex.

 

"C-Cleaned? You mean a bath? TOGETHER?" He half stuttered as he followed after the man toward the bathroom wondering if he was even ready for this or not. Not that Jasair wasn't attractive or kind and the fact that they were married it wouldn't be weird to take a bath together naked right? Wait did he just accept that they were married? Shaking his head Sukita could only wonder if he was starting to get deep feelings for his savior.

 

"Urm Jasair...will we be alone in the bath? O-Or will there be um...servants there too? I'm not t-to comfortable with a lot of people l-looking at my body if that makes sense." The boy softly spoke wondering if he was making any sense as he suppose he wouldn't mind Jasair seeing him but others would be a little too embarrassing.

[Envy]

Jasair bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing at the younger mans reaction to his words.

 

“Yes, Sukita. Together.” he said as they entered the bathroom.

 

Walking towards the shower stall, he let the others hand go and opened the glass door to the overly large stall.

 

“It will just be you and I Sukita.” he replied to his last stuttering questions.

 

Once he got the water running and at a comfortable temperature, he turned back to his husband.

 

“I want you to know. I realize that you have not accepted our marriage, and this is all very new and maybe overwhelming. But I promise, not to try anything too intimate, unless you wish it. I would leave you to bathe alone, but since you are not completely well right now, I will stay with you. And I apologize if you are uncomfortable.”

 

He gave him a faint smile “At east you are awake this time.”

[RavenLunar]

As his thoughts were confirmed Sukita's cheeks became a much deeper red color as he stepped into the spacious bathroom and was lead over to the shower stall. It was the largest he had ever seen before that wasn't meant for a community place like a pool or reck center.

 

"Wow..." He whispered then listened to the prince as he knew it would be a little difficult to get naked in front of the man consciously but if Jasair was going to be a gentleman it set his mind at ease.

 

He watched the older male turn on the water and he waited patiently for the shower to get ready, raising his arms Sukita lightly grunted feeling as if they were lead weights, his body still quite exhausted and recovering from his mishap.

 

Listening to the other all the explorer could do was nod and returned a small smile of his own, "I-Its not that I don't accept it, there's just still a lot to process but I want to make things work." Sukita wasn't sure if he was speaking out of exhaustion that was truly what he was feeling for the mysterious man in front of him, but either way Sukita did want to make things work out between them he was given a second chance and he didn't want to waste it on his past fears and worries.

 

He felt like he was becoming a new person and it was thanks to the person standing in front of him, but he still had a lot to understand and learn.

 

Seeing as he couldn't even remove his clothes the male sighed frustrated then blushed looking to the prince and bit his bottom lip. "J-Jasair...will you h-help me bathe? Honestly my arms feel like lead weights, its a bit uncomfortable lifting them right now."

[Envy]

The relief he felt run through him at the others admittance of wanting to make things work out between them was a bit surprising.

 

He lightly let out the breath he didn't even realize he was holding. He wasn't sure why he had been so worried, it wasn't like he loved the younger man, but for some odd reason that he couldn't explain, he found he wanted to keep him still, and it was only getting stronger the more he was around him.

 

Moving closer after he was asked for help, he reached down and took the hem of the shirt he had placed on him earlier and pulled it over his head, pulling it down his arms once it was pass his head, and off so wouldn't have to lift them.

He tossed the shirt aside before his hands went to the others waistband, untying the drawstrings to the loose pants he had placed on him earlier. He slid them down his hips until they drop to the younger mans feet. Taking his hand, he guided him to the shower, letting him go inside with instructions to sit on the stone bench jutting out from the wall so he wouldn't risk falling until he joined him. The prince then undressed himself and walked into the shower, closing the glass door behind himself.

 

Looking to the other man, he held his hand out for him to take so he could stand “Don't worry, I'm only going to help you wash.” he assured him again.

[RavenLunar]

As he was slowly undressed Sukita couldn't help but to feel incredibly self conscious as he felt his husband's gentle hands brushing over his bare flesh making goosebumps form, he had to bite his tongue to keep from groaning out as he felt his pants drop. After being shown where to go Sukita was relieved to sit down on the bench feeling his legs shaking, he wasn't sure if it was from exhaustion or the touches from the prince. Once the other came into the stall the young male did his best to avoid his eyes not wanting to stare and seem weird.

 

Taking his hand he stood up as he had to hold onto Jasair's arms to keep his knees form giving out, "G-Gomen, my knees are still a little weak, maybe tomorrow we can go for a walk?" He lightly spoke out as he looked up gazing into the other's eyes. "I'm not afraid, if you wanted to hurt me you would have already, I guess you can say I've started to trust you." Standing up a little straighter as he relaxed feeling the warm water washing over his body making him sigh in content as the tension in his muscles being released.

[Envy]

Jasair met the other gaze and gave his head a slight nod at his question.

 

“I can take you for a walk tomorrow, if you are strong enough.” he replied.

 

A light smile spread on his lips when the younger man said he was starting to trust him. It was a good thing he was because it helped the prince relax a little more in his presence since he had been worried about frightening him. His arm wrapped around the others waist, and he pulled him into his as he moved them both under the spray of water from the shower head.

 

His other hand went to the others hair, his fingers burying in the strands, gently pulling his head back and moving through them to help the water soak them all. After a few moments, he stepped back out of the water, turning just enough to reach for a wash cloth and soap on the glass shelf in the niche of the wall while he kept one arm around the other man.

Soon he was using both items against the younger mans skin, starting with his back and working his way around every inch of his entire body without any hint of hesitancy, and ended with washing his hair last.

 

Once he was done, he sat him back on the stone bench thinking his legs had to be tired from standing.

 

“Do you wish to get back into bed now?” he asked him.

 

He hadn't washed himself, but he could always return for that.

Seeing the prince smile was a breathtaking sight even if it was a small one it really looked good on the other male. Softly smiling back he relaxed against Jasair's body as bed he could still feeling a bit self conscious. Closing his eyes Sukita lightly groaned as the water rushed over him making his muscles relax, it felt incredible to finally take a hot bath again. Feeling how gentle Jasair was being with him he could feel his worries vanishing as he allowed the prince to thoroughly bathe him, his heart pounding loud the entire time as he could feel those large hands never missing a single spot on his body. The explorer was a bit surprised and startled when his husband began to wash his sacred spots, even though they were married he couldn't help the slight embarrassment he felt when he had became slightly aroused from his bathing.

 

After his bathing was finally finished when his hair was washed Sukita felt a million times lighter, as he was sat down on the bench his legs felt a little more sturdier now that he'd had a chance to stand up for a good while.

 

He noticed the taller male hadn't washed and didn't want to not return the favor as he shook his head at the question. "May I wash you now? I-It would be unfair to make you do all the work..." Slowly Sukita managed to stand up as the did his best to keep his balance, "If you wouldn't mind that is, I at least insist on washing m-my husband's back." Holding out his hand Sukita awaited for a washcloth not knowing where things were in order to just do it himself.

[Envy]

Jasair took a hold of Sukita's shoulder when he began to get to his feet.

 

He was surprised at the request, but he didn't think to deny him. He handed the soap and washcloth to him, placing them in his outstretched hand.

 

“Just my back, and then you can sit and wait for me to finish the rest of me. You can bathe me fully when you're feeling better.” he told him with a faint smile at the end.

 

He didn't want Sukita exerting any more energy then he had to.

 

Turning, he presented his back to the younger man, sweeping his hair over his shoulder to keep it out of the way, the inky strands clinging to his wet skin

As Sukita smiled happily at the agreement he waited for the other to turn and when he did his could feel his body naturally reacting as he had to take a few deep breaths to calm himself. He could see the other's back muscles that was just begging him to touch them, and that was what he did as he slowly ran his fingers over the shoulder blade feeling the smooth silky skin there. Gently he moved his hand to massage over his spine as he massaged his fingers against it lightly forgetting what he was supposed to be doing.

 

Shaking his head he took the towel and began to scrub the price's back clean as he was happy to be able to touch the other's flesh so freely. "Your have really...nice skin..." Sukita complimented as he continued to wash his husband's back till he felt that the man was clean enough, slowly he moved back to sit on the bench to rest his body as he lightly chuckled. "I'm done, I never noticed how really tall you are Jasair-san, then again I'm pretty short to begin with. I have always been the shortest boy in my class."
