My Ethereal Desire [18+]

[Arekushisu]

Shinya laughed softly the look on Kiritos' face making him amused. He looked over at the other and shook his head, "No sir..I ate earlier as well." he smiled softly cheekily almost and leaned to him. "I will not eat until the Prince eats." he said softly just so Kirito could hear him. He looked away not wanting to look at anyone but Kirito. "How about we head out now? Seems the grown ups are talking, I find it a bore." he said lamely as he yawned lightly his ears flattening agains his head as he did so and then he chuckled softly his cheeks a pink tint. "I would love to see it all with you." he said softly his heart fluttering slightly as Kirito told him they could go look at the gardens soon enough, it seemed he had no real business here other than to watch the King make plans about the kingdom. Shinya found it boring and by the eagerness in Kirito's voice he did as well.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito laughed lightly before leaning back in his chair, "You can't just get up and leave, the king has to first. Other wise it is considered disrespect. We are big on honor and respect in the capital." He spoke softly, a bit aggrivated that his guard was chosing not to eat. "If you aren't strong enough, I don't think you will be able to properly protect me." Murmuring, he glanced over his shoulder to see that the snow had finally stopped and the sun was peaking through the thick clouds finally. Looking back to his father who was now in a heated discussion about something the prince neither knew nor cared about, he sighed in relief to see he was clearly preoccupied. "We can probably get out of here and be back in time for the meeting, let's go." He whispered quickly, picking up his mug and slipping out of his chair as quietly as he could. Though a few heads obviously noticed, they chose to remain silent, not wanting to heart he kings yelling. Kirito quickly led Shinya out of the hall and summoned a nearby servant to retrieve there coats from his room. "We don't have an outside garden because of the cold, but we have a sanctuary here and it has a side room which is a garden for those who are grieving. But I think I have some connections and can get us in." He winked playfully, his mood eons better now that they were out of that dinning room.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya leaned his head back in the chair groaning in pure boredom. He heard what the other had said and chuckled softly, "Well, if i collapse from the lack of energy then I'm assuming you'll have to eat so I can." he smiled cheekily and looked away before he smiled again his eyes full of mischief as they sneaked out of the hall. He sighed in relief his hands clasping behind his head as he walked, "Kirito, I'm happy you could get us out of there, I felt like they were staring into my soul and talking so bad about me that my butt was going to catch on fire." he laughed softly and looked over at the other male. "Ah...grieving hm? Then shouldn't we respect it and not disrespect the dead and the grieving?" he asked curiously smiling softly as the other seemed to have gained back the good attitude he had had the day before. "Speaking of..Kirito...will we be going to the cemetery today?" he asked softly looking over at him again his eyes full of sadness for the other male.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito was more than shocked at the phrase 'my butt was going to catch on fire', his eyes widened slightly and he let out a laugh at the others choice of wording. No emotion passed his face as he continued to walk, it took him a good five minutes to even answer the mans questions, and it was a simple, "No, we won't be going to the cemetery today." He lead them through the huge sanctuary doors, no one was inside at this time of day. All the pews where empty, and the room was lit up by orbs in stain glass lanterns. The floor was a black marble, and there as a huge statue of a diety behind the front podium. "The priest is a drunk, he's probably off sleeping somewhere so we have a while before anyone comes here." As he spoke he walked around the podium, and pushed open a large, marble white door that reveled the huge garden area. The room was covered in flowers, there was a large terrace in the middle of the room that was decorated with roses and a small cushons bench sat in the middle of it. The cieling was huge and domed and the room was also artificially lit.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya decided he had stuck his nose somewhere it hadn't belonged and he shut his mouth following Kirito silently his ears flat against his head. He smiled lightly though keeping it well hidden as he walked into the large chamber full of flowers. All different kinds strung along the walk way the light that was natural yet artificial catching them perfectly. He looked around taking in the colors of the multiple flowers getting a kind of odd happy feeling by seeing them. He knew that they were for mourning however the light cheerful colors seemed to be wanting to cheer the saddened visitor up. He clenched his jaw sucking in air as he winced in pain, his jaw was starting to hurt again yet he chuckled softly at his pitiful reaction to the small bruise which colored his cheek. "...I'm sorry for what I said.." He said softly looking back at Kirito looking down at the ground. "I care a lot about you...already...and I don't like seeing you so upset...I assumed talking about it would help but i guess I was wrong...I won't bring it up again till you wish to talk about it yourself." he said bowing formally in apology to the other male his ears still in their spot low on his head.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito reached out and lightly traced his fingers over a white rose, his eyes were downcast. Yet again he was ashamed for the way he had reacted, but he had never been in these kind of situations. He may be soft spoken, but he was a prince, and a prince to the mad king none the less. So most people would never second guess him publically, or say anything that might bring any kind of problems at all to him. When he was a child a maid had broken his favorite toy, and she had been exhiled as a result. His father ruled through fear, and in turn most people chose to keep there mouths shut around his son. His voice was mono-tone now, no emotion to it as he spoke. "Shinya, a few months ago, there was a raid on this castle. It was an attempt to kill the king, Queen or myself. Someone, dropped the draw bridge while we were all in the dinning hall celebrating a winter feast. My guard, Cameron, was missing during the feast. Very few people have the key to the outpost that holds the drop gate for the castle, Cameron was one of them. When they, the Kanier, started pouring through the gate, he had already tried to drag me away. He knew. He was sobbing the entire time. He was the one who had lowered the draw bridge, he was the one that had sold out my entire family. His body wasn't found, but I told my father I saw him stabbed. I assume he is dead, but he also might not be, and for some reason despite what he did I wanted him to have the opportinity to escape. So everyone things he is dead, and he may very well be. But I don't know, and at the end of the day it is easier to tell myself he could be alive, than to say he is dead. So please, Shinya, don't mention it again, alright?" His words softed as he ended his explination before looking over to the Kanier, as though the entire conversation had tired him somehow.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya nodded absently listening silently his body moving away every inch from the Prince, "I'm sorry...I didnt know...um...do you mind if I go take a walk alone..?" he asked softly hurt in his voice as it shook slightly. He knew he had done something wrong and he had upset the other male. He hadn't asked for a full explanation he hadn't known the full story. "I'm sorry to have jumped to conclusions..it won't happen again Sire.." he said softly his eyes not coming in contact with Kirito's instead he downcast them from the other as he sighed, "I guess I can't leave you...I have to watch you..even if my prescense is unwanted." he said under his breath running a hand through his hair as his mind raced. He hated this, he hated the fact he was hurting his new master on the second day of his new job. He sighed softly as he turned away from Kirito his body shaking slightly as he tried to keep in all the pain and anger that had just decided to build up all at once. He had lost his home, his family, and was put with this man that did not care about him and did not wish for him to be here anymore than Shinya had wanted to be there. He looked at Kirito a soft smile on his face, "You know..if you hate me so much you don't have to hide it from me..I'l understand.." he said softly his ears flattening once more his tail flicking in frustration and confusion. He didnt want to be a burden and right know he felt like he had done nothing but hurt Kirito since he had started working there. They had already been through quiet a lot together and he seemed to have grown protective of the other male and he didnt know why, he held his head in his hands and sighed again.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito was more than just a bit caught off guard but the others reaction, he seemed like a big strong guard at times, but clearly he was not like most of them. He cared, he had a heart. The princes face was passive for a moment, he had absolutely no idea how to react to that. Shinya seemed notably upset, and he knew it was because of how he had acted when the guy had just been trying to help him. Walking over, he sat on the terrace, leaning back and looking straight up as he thought about how to approach this. "I told you that because i'm trusting you with it, you can't tell anyone else. The more you ask me about it though, the harder it is for me to lie about it. That's why I asked you not to, not because I hate you or you are getting on my nerves. Alright?" He asked softly, smiling over at the other before continuing, "I don't hate you, I have no reason to. I don't hate your kind, I have no reason to. Hate is a wasteful emotion. I think our lives are all to short to waste them so much on things like anger and hate that get us no where. If I ever get to be king, things will be different here. I can swear to that." There was a conviction in his tone and he meant it, he was probably going to die before he became king and he knew that, but still. Sometimes he let himself think of all the good he could do here, and who better to have at his side when and if the tiem came, than this Kanier.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya laughed softly and leaned against a pillar sighing, "Ah...lying hm...I won't tell anyone...however, if he is still alive will you wish to be with him once again?" he asked looking over at Kirito his tail flicking slightly. "As for you being king, you will become king. No one can hurt you while I'm here less they kill me in the process getting to you. So, in order for you not to be king I would have to die." he smiled softly at the other and then it faded quickly. "Ive lost everything...everything to protect you...if you don't become king what use would that have been? What use would my hardships be if you do not excel to the throne?" he asked sliding down the wall till he was sitting back against it and his knees up so his elbows could rest on them. He sighed and his hands went into his hair, "Did you love him..? Cameron...did you guys have the relationship the Princess and I had?" he asked curiously looking over at the other male, "You don't have to answer if you don't wish it." he said assuring the other male he didnt have to talk.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito was yet again, more than caught off guard by his guards question. He didn't want to think that Shinya would get hurt, even if the prince got himself killed somehow. But the fact of the situation was that they were bound, if Shinya died, he would have to find a new guard and would likely be offed before that. If he died, then the mad king would undoubtedly off the Kanier, and probably in a less than painless way. This Kanier really had lost it all for him, and the idea of that tore at the princes chest. He was no better than anyone else, so why were other people expected to drop everything, or even lay down there lives for him? Love him? The words repeated in his mind softly and he leaned back, considered if he really did love Cameron or not. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally found the words, "In a way, yes. But Shinya i'm a prince. People like me aren't so much people a we are political pawns used to make advancements. I'll be married off to the princess that has the biggest kingdom, or most money, love is not in the cards for people like me. I think I loved him, and maybe if things were different I could have acted on that. But we were both adults and knew that nothing could ever happen, so, nothing ever did." There was a time when he wanted nothing more than to kiss Cameron, but he couldn't, he had duties. No matter how much it hurt, he was a prince for a reason.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya stood and walked to Kirito and he kneeled before him looking up into his face, "Love..is something that has no bounds Kirito. My princess is old enough to have married yet has not because she doesn't need to, after the king dies she will take the throne and can rule on her own. Plus, if your father dies, you could change the rule for you to marry whomever you wished." he slipped his fingers under Kirito's chin and made him look at him. "Love..is something no one should ever take away from you...if you haven't had the chance to feel that I am sorry...it is a wonderful feeling...and I believe that if it was how you wished it then you could run away, you could be with whomever you chooses." he laughed softly and pulled away slightly from the other. "I have duties too Kirito...I'm not allowed to marry...or have children...because my life's duty is to keep you safe. I can't do that if I'm caring for my wife and children, I am forbidden to marry and fall in love." he smiled softly at him. "You, are young, and life is still happening for you. Have fun with it, take risks and become someone you are proud of. Not your father, you." he said kissing the others hand softly before he stood. "Don't let someone tell you what you can and can't do. It sucks, and you shouldn't have to deal with that."

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito's eyes were wide as he listened to the other, somehow he felt like Cameron had said something similar to him before. However he had completely ignored it, but for some reason when Shinya said it, he found himself listening, really listening to it. The others words seemed to resonate within him. He wanted that, he wanted to have someone to love, someone to give his affection to, he wanted someone to love him as well, to be someones entire world. If he died, he wanted to know someone would miss him, not miss the prince, but miss Kirito as an individual. For a moment, he wanted to reach out and wrap his arms around the other, hug him closely and just enjoy the sanity of the moment. But before he had the chance to do anything, the door to the sanctuary jingled open. Glancing up, he saw Maria the maid standing in the doorway, looking a bit apologetic. "Sire said it's time for the meeting, and requests your presense. He said your guard isn't allowed because of obvious reasons and confidentiality." Kirito let out an annoyed sighed before pushing himself up from his seat and nodding to her before turning to Shinya. "You have complete run of the castle, you aren't going to get much free time so I reccomend you enjoy it." He laughed lightly before turning to leave.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya stood as the door opened and his ears flattened as he heard that he wasn't allowed into the meeting room. However he sighed softly and looked at Kirito waiting for the woman to leave before he grabbed the other male and hugged him close, "Please stay safe, and don't let your father bring your good mood down. I'll see you when you're finished." He said softly to the other before letting him go. And he bowed before leaving first, he sighed softly the closeness he had felt then was something he had missed. But he only hugged the other because it looked like he was about to cry, he ran a hand through his hair and went to his room kind of needing help from the maids to get there but when he did he shut the door and sighed. He walked to the dresser putting his earrings in his ears before walking to the bed and collapsing into it. His eyes were heavy, staying up all night the night before had sent a toll on him. He yawned and rolled over curling up into a small ball and slowly began to fall asleep, he didnt know how long he had but he knew it wouldn't be long so he would just catch a few minutes or something until Kirito came back.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito was visibly less than happy about having to go to this meeting. He wanted nothing more than to relax in his room with his new guard, but clearly there were other things that needed to be done. He followed the maid to the council chamber, is ears twitching slightly in annoyance as he did. Once there, the doors were opened for him, to reveal the council sitting around a circlular table, with the king sitting right in the middle of it. Kirito let out a long yawn before taking his seat next to the court banker, who gave him a big smile to which he returned with a rather forced nod of his head. "Now that we are all here, we can begin." His father eyed him annoyed, wanting him to know that tardiness was not exceptible. Kirito leaned back in his chair as he prepared to watch the meeting, it would be just like the last one, and the one before that and the one before that. He'd been forced to come to them since he was 15 and hated every dull minute of it. "Now, first thing first. My sons birthday party will be held next saturday, and we have decided to invite the Kaniers." The court note taker was so shocked he spit out the red whine he had been chugging down. "I heard you managed to get yourself into a situation last night, Kirito. He managed to keep you save until reinforcements arrived, so perhaps I would wrong about the guards abilities. I still despire him every time I see his face, but maybe he does know a bit about fighting." Kirito was more than shocked to hear his father compliment, yes, that was a compliment, Shinya. His mouth nearly dropped in surprise. "We will be holding the birthday banquet, during which you have the entire night to find a suitible princess." Ah, there was the kicker, clearing this throat, Kirito spoke up, "Father, I was thinking that maybe it is not essential for me to wed immedietly?" His father shot him a glare, "Nonsense! That i what princes and princess are for my boy, you have known that since you were a child. Now, I have invited the Kanier royal family." He knew where this was going, he would not marry that which. The one that simply used Shinya for a play thing, the one who had dug her claws into his guard simply because she was lonely. "No." He answered softly, and all eyes in the court room went to him.

 

It had been three hours since the court session had begun, small feet once again rushed, padding to the princes chambers. She had brought a stool with her this time, setting it before the door, she pushed it open and all but tumled into the princes empty room. Scrambling over to the other door, she pushed it open to, using her stool to stand on, and poked her head through the door to see the sleeping Kanier. Padding over to the bed, she reached up and tugged on his tail lightly. "Shin?"

[Arekushisu]

Shinya stirred awake and groaned softly as he rolled onto his back. He glanced at the edge of his bed seeing a small girl and he smiled softly, "Nia..how are you? What do you need me lady?" he asked as he sat up in bed and picked her up placing her next to him in a sitting position. "How may I help you?" he asked rubbing her head. He noticed the open door between Kirio's room and his own and he looked back at her, "Do you miss him..? he has been out all day long it seems." he chuckled softly and looked down. "I miss him.." he said softly under his breath his ears dropping slightly. He looked over at her waiting for her answer as his tail flicks and starts to get feeling back into it from his long nap. Kirito had been out all day, he noticed the sun in the sky showing it was almost afternoon maybe an hour before till lunch. He sighed softly and ran a hand through his hair groaning slightly in pain as his jaw clenched and unclenched the bruise noticeable on his cheek now.

[Key-Tokki]

The young girl smiled as she was set on the bed, reaching down she took hold of one of the pillows and held it in her lap. She looks up with wide, curious eyes at the other. Frowning softly, he seemed sad? Miss him? Pushing herself off of the bed, she padded across the floor back into the princes room. She came back after rooting around for a minute, with her small pillow he had used the night before. Using her stool she climbed back onto the bed and sat beside the other, setting the pillow in his lap. "You can borrow this? A present from him to me on my birthday so even if he has to go visit my mom and dad some day I can always have this to remember him." Reaching up she pushed up her sleeve to show a huge burn mark, it looked like someone with a burning hand had grabbed a hold of her wrist. "Kiri gave me this to remember him, so i'll never forget. So you can borrow my pillow." She stated again, smiling up at the Kannier, holding her hands out so that she could touch his soft looking ears.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya looked at the girl then back at the pillow, "Thank you.." he said softly leaning into her hands as he closed his eyes. "Kirito...is going to be forced to marry someone he doesn't love yes..? I was hoping...I could try and show him how it would be if he were normal..even if it meant for a little bit.." He said softly looking down at the girl as his ears moved into her hands. "I wonder how much longer till he comes back...I'm getting Kind of lonely." he said chuckling softly as he moved laying the pillow in her lap and resting his head on the pillow again in her lap. He sighed softly, "Can you keep doing that Nia..?" he said softly his eyes closing again.

[Key-Tokki]

Nia looked down at the man now laying in her lap and smiled wide. "When I had a head ache, Cammy would let me put my head in his lap and braid my hair for me." She spoke as she began to play with the other males hair softly. For a moment, just a split second, her face bore an emotion that was way beyond her years. Granted, her kind aged different than most others did so she was probably about 20 in human years, but still looked like a little girl. "Kiri...Kiri is the best person. But Kiri is scary sometimes. He was the one who took away my mom and daddy, I know where they are. They aren't coming back." She continued to play with the hair softly, trying to figure out how to say what she felt needed to be said. "Kiri is the best person." She repeated again, "But everyone says he wasn't made for a place like this. He wasn't, it's done something to him. Don't try to hard, one day Kiri really won't be here anymore and I don't wanna see Shin said." She made little sense, but was trying desperately to tell him to beware of the prince. As soon as she finished, the door to the princes room pushed open slowly, then the soft click could be heard of it shutting. Kirito was covered in dirt, from head to toe, scratched up anywhere where his skin was showing, his hair was a mess and there was even a few leaves in it. He made his way to his bed and fell face first into it.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya listened silently as tears came to his eyes, "Ah..I see..thank you for worrying about me.." he said softly before he heard the door his ears twitching forward and he sprung out of the bed and ran to the others room. He walked to the bed and pain filled his eyes, "W-what..what happened to you?!?!" he asked pulling the other male into his arms as he touched the wounds on his body yet gently. "Who did this?" he said anger in his voice as he looked over at Nia. "Get me a wash cloth with warm water on it. Please hurry." he said quickly before laying the male down and started to aerobe him, "I will be accompanying you to all meetings from now on. As well as anywhere else. If your father has something to say he can shove it up his ass." he said sterny as he looked at the other male. "Are you okay?" he asked brushing the leaves out of his hair tears still in his eyes from moments before.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito felt tired, but this was not unsual, his father was rarely violent with him, so when he would disobey the man, they would go on 'hunting' trips. Who were an absolute nightmare for someone as clumsy and prone to injury as the prince seemed to be. He'd fallen off the hoarse more times then he cared to recollect, he had managed to rip his favorite jacket, ended up getting lost twice, and having to run through the snowy woods after his horse when it got startled. All in all, it had been a horrible day. The image of Shinya, kissing his hand in the garden flashed through his head. Alright, so maybe it was not exactly a terrible day entirely. At the others question, he stated simply. "Well, first it was a bore, then a wold, then he decided he wanted a fox coat so we went looking for some of those." Nia had already rushed over to the large pot of water that was still on the fire from the stove from the day previously, and dipped a cloth into it, wrinking it out carefully. She padded back across the floor and held it up to Shinya. Kirito reached up and waved a lazy hand as he murmured out, "I'm fine i'm fine, i'm just tired." He grumbled softly before closing his eyes and letting out a low sigh. Nia stomped her foot as she glared at her prince in a huff, "Kiri you can't sleep all the time!" Kirito groaned softly and rolled away from the two into the mattress. "I'm a prince I can do what I want." He whined softly, to which she only continued to huff. They were just like siblings fighting.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya sighed softly pain shooting through his jaw, he took the cloth and crawled onto the bed pushing Kirito down under him as he straddled his hips. "Hold still." he said and he started cleaning the dried blood off of the others face. "You can't sleep right now of all times. You need to stay awake until I can clean you up." he said and he looked at Nia. "Go. Take the coat to the tailor please and tell her I sent you. Just leave us." he said softly as he turned back to his work and his ears flattened mutters under his breath as he cleaned them. He winced lightly cleaning some of the worse ones on Kirito's arms and neck sighing softly. "Next time I'm going with you, I'll make you ride the same horse as me if I have to." he said under his breath pausing a moment and looked Kirito in the eyes. "You should be more careful...some people actually care about you.." he said softly his face not far from kirito's as he spoke.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito was more than shocked to feel hands on him, pushing him down flat. He was pretty grounded for a prince, but his father was The Mad King, so when he said jump people usually jumped. It was completely unusual for him to be touched so carelessly, and for it to be by a Kanier was even more shocking. However, he was even more shocked to not only see, but feel the position they ended up in. There a was a weight on his lower stomach and hips, Shinya was straddling him like it was nothing but to him it was certainly something. His cheeks flushed up almost immediately, as he shifted underneath the other, tilting his head to the side to avert the others gaze. He knew he was blushing, he was just hoping if he managed to keep his eyes away from Shinya's it wouldn't get much worse, though he could already feel the blush spreading to his ear tips.

 

Nia padded over, a happy smile on her face as she watched the two guys, taking the huge wad of jacket into her arms she turned to leave. She had seen Kirito an Cameron do similar things before, she even walked in on them in the middle of the night once because she was scared, only to find them both practically on top of each other asleep. Though at least to be fair neither of them were naked, so it was clear they had only fallen asleep today. somehow, she could almost imagine walking in on Shinya and Kirito in the same position. "Must be a guard prince thing?" She muttered happily as she rushed down the hall to get the coat fixed. The prince laid as still as a board as he was cleaned over, honestly to afraid to move and betray any more emotion than he already was, at least he wasn't falling asleep now. A soft laugh left his lips, any feels of bitter disdane about the less than great day were practically non exsistant. "Well last time I rode your hoarse I could barely stay awake, so that might not be the best option for hunting. " He let out a laugh, "He's a king, neither you nor I can disagree with him, unfortunately. His hand moved before he could stop it or even realize what he was doing, reaching up he gingerly touched the Kaniers cheek, and held his fingers there. "Some people care about you too, so be more careful. I don't want to see you bruised again, understand?" His voice was soft, but insistant.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya tilted his head as he cleaned the wounds utterly focused on that that he didnt really take notice to the red cheeks which the prince wore. He sighed softly as he finished and just sat there looking down at the other male, "I find it of your best interest that I come with you on these so called hunting trips. What happened today is unaccpet-" His voice caught in his throat as he felt the soft hands touch his bruised cheek and he winced lightly but his eyes met Kirtos and he instantly regretted it. The soft words that left his mouth made it so Shinya could only nod in agreement. He looked down his eyes scanning Kiritos' lips before he looked away closing his eyes and leaning his face into Kirito's hand.

 

"I was worried about you...all day long...you can't imagine what it feels like to see you walk in, in this type of shape..." he sighed again and looked up at Kirito his ears now flat against his head in worry. "I don't want to see this again...Its scary...Youre too clumsy Kirito." he said softly yet half-hearted slightly teasing the other male. He looked back down to his lips and he shook his head lightly inwardly beating himself up. All hell would break loose if he acted on his simple desires to kiss the other male at that moment. However it felt right, their bodies ontop of one another and their breath almost taking up the same space. He could feel every movement Kirito made through his thighs and he sighed softly his cheeks turning red. "I'm sorry to have crawled onto you...I just didnt want you to sleep without me cleaning them." he said apologetically.

[Key-Tokki]

Kirito winced slightly at a particularly harsh cut he had managed to get when he collided face first with a tree. He watched as the other sat back slightly, his left ear twitches slightly, wasn't his body guard getting just a bit to comfortable sitting atop of his prince? He knew that the guard was only trying to do his best to keep the prince alive and well, but if Shinya tried to protect him from ever single scratch then the guard going to tire himself out quickly. The smile never left his face as he continued to look over the other, he was really a good guy. The fact that this Kanier was going to waste his life protecting some spoiled prince made the younger boy physically angry at the injustice of it. After a few moments, his arm grew tired and he let it fall back to the bed with a soft thump.

 

Kirito watched as the other seemed to loose a bit of his resolve and apologized for the way he handled the situation. A kitten, that is what the man reminded him off. He was supposed to be some kind of high guard, big, rough and tough, but to Kirito, he reminded him of a lost kitten, unsure of his own footing. He was already falling asleep, and when he was sleepy he was grumpy. Half out of it, he reached up with both of his arms, still mainly unrobed from when the guard had removed his clothing to clean his cuts. Without even thinking he pulled the other down and wrapped his arms around the Kanier, murmuring sleepily in the others ear, " It's alright, i'm home now. Thank you for caring so much," His voice was tired, but he meant every word. It was nice, having someone who really cared about him again. With Shinya here he felt safe, let his eyes shut, his arms fell back to the bed with soft thumps as the prince fell asleep once again.

[Arekushisu]

Shinya sighed softly and looked away, he was about to move before he felt the soft arms fall from his face. His ears flattened and he sighed again, but before he could actually move off of the prince he was pulled down into a hug and the soft, warm air of Kitio's breath came into his ear. He blushed darkly and he closed his eyes his arms going around Kirito's as his words sank into hi. He smiled softly but he didnt have the opportunity to say anything instead he fell down onto the bed and cuddled up to the other male seeing he had fallen asleep with him on him in the first place.

 

Shinya sighed and looked up at the other male his eyes closing a moment then opening sleepily. He didnt know why but he was exhausted. He looked down then back up at the other male before smiling softly and kissing his cheek, "Thank you...for caring so much.." he said sleepily himself before he too relaxed into kirito's warmth pulling the sheets up to his chin and yawned again. He was purring lightly as his mind started to slip into a blissful dream of him and the prince with one another in the garden laughing and talking like normal. He hoped he would actually enjoy the rest rather than have another nightmare like usual.
