A Demon's Way w/ クローバー (Clover)

[azuneko]

Hiroki looked over to the side. "Good night Masaki." he said as he drifted into a deep slumber. The place was silent beside the sounds of flowing water. It was serene and yet a bit eerie. The night was still young and it felt as though someone or something had been watching them. Hiroki didn't notice a thing with Masaki beside him.

[クローバー (Clover)]

Unbeknownst to the two lovers, they were being watched. Dark red eyes glowed in the night off in the distance, much too obscured by greenery for Hiroki or Masaki to even register. The owner of the eyes let out an angry hiss as the young prince cuddled with that outcast that stole his heart. He found Masaki first, not that Kaname scum, and he was prepared to take him back at all costs. Thanks to the enhanced senses that came with that vampire bite, Seiji was able to follow their scents to Hiroki's house while avoiding detection.

That scum. I'll have to deal with them once the prince returns... he thought, knowing that barging in now would be unwise. He slipped further into the shrubbery and ran off to the royal palace to wait out Masaki's stay. As he returned, the lights were off since the other servants were asleep. Thinking of a plan as he walked, Seiji entered Masaki's now-empty room to view the moon. Whenever the young prince was asleep, Seiji would go to the rooftops of the palace to watch the moon, since he didn't want to disturb his master's slumber. Now that he was with Hiroki, nothing stopped him from entering the prince's room. Just as he was about to drift off into thought, a glimmering object caught his eyes. It was the wedding ring Masaki bought in town. A devilish smirk crept onto the head butler's face as he snatched the box away, a plan coming to him.

[azuneko]

Hiroki continued to sleep with the young prince beside him. He couldn't realize that someone was watching them. He awoke the next morning looking around. He liked how the sun shines into the room. He felt relaxed and calmed. It was the best sleep he's had in forever. Plus it was within his own home. such a wonderful feeling.

[クローバー (Clover)]

Masaki stirred as the sunlight spilled into the room. The cool breeze flew in through the open windows, tickling the prince's warm skin. The rose petal covers still covered his body. Gently moving the covers off himself, he yawned and turned to Hiroki with a sweet smile.

"Good morning, Hiroki." he said, moving close to him for a kiss on the cheek. "Did you sleep well?"

[azuneko]

Hiroki looked at Masaki with a smile. "Good morning. I slept rather well if I do say so. It was surprise to wake up feeling so refreshed. I have you to thank for that." he said with a light chuckle. He liked seeing the other's morning face. It was just as cute as all his other expressions.

[クローバー (Clover)]

Masaki laughed and kissed Hiroki on the cheek. A soft pink tone dusted his face. As they sat in bed, Masaki wondered how long they had been together. He didn't think it was all that long. After all, it was only a few nights ago that Hiroki agreed to a relationship begrudgingly. The change in both of their personalities shocked him. He had gone from a pompous blowhard to a sweet, innocent child, and Hiroki became a warm hearted lover from a cold, distant man. He began to wonder more if Hiroki was the one he was searching for all this time. No... He couldn't ask. Not now. It would only complicate things between them. Deciding to get out of bed, Masaki stretched, stripping off his pajamas to go to the bathroom. He was close enough for Hiroki to catch glimpses of his soft, pale skin as he walked into the bathroom to shower.

"Hey, Hiroki... Do you want to shower with me? I think we've bathed together at my place, and I want to be more comfortable around you." he said.

[azuneko]

Hiroki noticed the other going into the bathroom. He smiled a bit as he sat on the bed. "No its fine. I'll shower later. I kind of wish to lazy in bed a bit more." he mutters softly. His gaze drifting to the side. He stood up noticing some of the leaves around had discolored. His gaze narrows as he touched the brown colored leaves. "Someone was here but who..." he mutters. He might have been alert but his house sure was.

[クローバー (Clover)]

After his shower, Masaki returned to the bed, a towel loosely wrapped around his lower half. He sat next to Hiroki, giving him a gentle peck on the cheek to say "I'm back". He laid back down next to Hiroki, a soft smile on his face. He wished he could be like this forever, but eventually, they'd have to go back to the palace. He decided to enjoy his alone time with Hiroki as much as he could.

 

"What do you want to do today?" he asked.

[azuneko]

Hiroki looked at Masaki as he walked over to the bed. He smiled as he leans close and kisses him back. "We can do whatever makes you happy. SO you decide on today's activity." he said with a grin. Seeing the other so cute beside him gave him a different idea for today. Though Hiroki knew it was too soon to be thinking so naughty.

[クローバー (Clover)]

Masaki thought for a minute. Despite being royalty, he had somewhat simpler pleasures than the former members of the estate. He had a couple days to spend with Hiroki, but how to use them? Just when it felt like an answer wasn't going to come, an idea unexpectedly came up.

 

"Let's go walk somewhere romantic." he said. "That's what I want to do today."

[azuneko]

"A romantic walk..? Sounds easy enough. If that's what you wish for then I shall grant it. We can go around noon and even have a lovely picnic to top off the occasion. How does that sound?" Hiroki asked as he leans close to Masaki. This made things easy on him. To be romantic wasn't his strong point but he never seemed to fail at it.

[クローバー (Clover)]

"That would be lovely." Masaki said, leaning in towards Hiroki so that their noses were touching. "I like the way you think."

He then went to nibble on Hiroki's earlobe playfully. Hiroki's scent was very earthy. Perhaps it was from the rose petal bedding, but whatever else it may have been, Masaki loved it. He almost wanted to remain like this, but the desire to walk was greater, so he pulled away to get dressed. He went into his suitcase and pulled out a nice button-down shirt, some black shorts, and a small pair of what looked like black briefs. After putting his clothes on, he stretched his body.

 

"What should we have for breakfast? Or do you want to wait until our little picnic to eat?" Masaki asked.

[azuneko]

Hiroki smiled as he held the other close. "Come on. Cut it out." he said as Masaki was nipping at his ear. This was odd but enjoyable. He didn't dislike it which was something new for him. He got up from the bed. "I'll go prepare breakfast as well as set the basket for the picnic. You can wait here or accompany me to he kitchen." he said walking out the room. He headed down the hall. The place seemed different from yesterday. Many yellow and white flowers were blooming and all over the place. Hiroki got to the kitchen and began preparing something for the other. Because his home was entwined with nature, he was able to have tons of fresh ingredients. It wasn't long before breakfast was finished. "Here you go Masaki."

 

 

[クローバー (Clover)]

"Thanks for the food!" Masaki said, looking at the food Hiroki set out for them and licking his lips. He started eating, but stopped for a bit to look at Hiroki, concerned.

"Are you hungry?" He asked before resuming eating.

((Ugh, it's really short... My power's out, so I couldn't use my laptop to write this post.))

[azuneko]

Hiroki glanced over to Masaki. "Please don't worry about me. I am not one who needs food very often. I can go weeks to months without needing a meal. I only eat just because not as a daily thing. The food I ate when visiting you is enough to hold me for some time. Though if you want I could feed you." he said with a smile.

 

(its okay)

[クローバー (Clover)]

"I'm fine. I can eat without help." Masaki said, eating more of his breakfast. Though he was a demon, he seemed to have the same humanly desires for food, water, and shelter. Maybe that was because of his having been brought up among humans, but he didn't really think much about it. Once he was done, he took the empty dishes to the sink and washed them.

"When do you want to leave?" he asked.

[azuneko]

"That is all up to you Masaki. Today is your choice as I said before. So you get to decide. I am curious about how you do things so I want to see it first hand." he said with a smile. Hiroki was a simple guy but he had a hidden temper when things didn't go his way. To avoid that he was allowing Masaki do pick the plans for the day.

[クローバー (Clover)]

"How about we leave now? I'm done eating, and there's nothing to do." Masaki said, getting up. He was curious to see what Hiroki had planned for a romantic walk. He took Hiroki's hand and smiled, excited to see what Hiroki could show him.

[azuneko]

Hiroki nods as he took hold of the picnic basket. He then took hold of Masaki's hand. "Lets get going. We have tons of time to kill before lunch time." he said walking outside. He headed down a path where flowers began to bloom as they walked by. There were small fairies siting or fluttering about. It was a calming place to be.

[クローバー (Clover)]

Masaki stared in awe at the natural landscapes surrounding him. He hadn't been outside the palace in a while, and to see nature so lovingly preserved sounded like something out of his favorite fairy tales. He almost wanted to pick a flower, but he didn't to preserve the natural beauty of the area.

 

"It's gorgeous, Hiroki..." Masaki said.

[azuneko]

Hiroki looked over at him. "Oh you think so? I don't see it at all. Maybe since I see it all the time." he said as he stops close to a lake. "Our picnic will be in the center of the water. For now walk about and enjoy the nature. Its not everyday the flowers bloom so brightly." Hiroki said leaning close to Masaki. He lightly touched his hair making a flower appear. "It matches your eyes."

[クローバー (Clover)]

"I-in the center of the water?? But how will we do that?" Masaki asked, blushing a little at the thought of Hiroki discovering the little surprise he had beneath his clothes. However, Hiroki putting a flower in his hair distracted him long enough for him to stop worrying. He loved being around Hiroki since he would always prevent him from worrying. Wherever he was, he felt happy and safe if Hiroki was there to be with him. As he thought about where to walk around first, a patch of particularly beautiful flowers caught his eye. He leaned in close and affectionately nibbled on his boyfriend's ear to get his attention.

 

"I'll be back~" he said, walking over to the flowers. Picking a few of them off, he made a flower crown for his boyfriend, covering up his work with his body as best as he could before returning. It was carefully assembled of various wildflowers in the area, but they all seemed to be glowing with life.

 

"Here. This is for you." Masaki said. "It's a small thank you for giving me a chance at your heart."

[azuneko]

"My heart...? Why do you say such odd things Masaki?" he mutters as he looked at the other. His mind else where for the moment. He didn't like getting close to others but Masaki was different. He wanted the other to know more about himself. It was an odd feeling. Yet he didn't hate it. "Your a cute one for sure. After the picnic I'll show you something wonderful." he said looking at him.

[クローバー (Clover)]

Masaki smiled as Hiroki called him cute. He was pretty used to having his boyfriend call him cute, but hearing it always made him feel certain that Hiroki was being sincere. He looked to the water and back at Hiroki with a quizzical glance.

 

"Still... How will we set up in the middle of the lake?" Masaki asked.

[azuneko]

"Curiosity killed the cat is a rather interesting saying. If you don't trust me we can sit among the flower for our picnic. Either way is fine my me." he said as he glanced to the side. Hiroki noticed some butterflies fluttering by and he chuckled a bit as one landed on the flower crown Masaki put on him.
