For Our People (DJICE & RikkaTag, 18+)

[DJIce]

Axel was a bit surprised to hear Durrin practically say he wouldn't have a choice in the matter. He clenched his jaw and looked down for a moment, then looked back towards him with his eyes narrowed slightly. "We are betrothed to unite our kingdoms and stop the war once and for all. No one said anything like that had to happen between us, and as long as I say no it's not going to happen." There was a certain sternness to his voice as he spoke, one he usually didn't use. The Kitsune then made his way out of the water, shaking himself off a bit before he gathered his clothing.

[RikkaTag]

Durrin laughed ad he stepped out, approaching his horse. "And I suppose consumating the marriage I'd holding hands in your kingdom. A marriage is not recognised until it is consumated. Be well aware of that." The Okami gathered his own clothes and dressed before mounting his horse. He turned to face the kitsune and smirked. "Don't fret, I have plenty of ways to fulfill my labido. You won't have to completely satisfy me."

[DJIce]

Axel's ears flattened as he began to pull on his clothes. "No, it's more than that in our kingdom as well." He mumbled, moving his gaze to Durrin as he mounted his horse. He began to walk over to them, raising an eyebrow. "And what exactly do you mean by that?" He asked, looking up at him in question.

[RikkaTag]

"Don't worry your pretty little head about it. Just be satisfied in knowing you only have to give half." Durrin held his hand out to the kitsune as he raised an eyebrow. The other was a stubborn little fox indeed. "Come. I've had enough of our little game for now. I have to go see a man about a dog."

[DJIce]

The Kitsune's still had a confused look on his face, of course at this point overthinking his words. He sighed and reached out to take his hand. "See a man about a dog?" He echoed under his breath, not understanding what he'd meant.

[RikkaTag]

Durrin pulled the Kitsune up to sit in front of him and snapped the reigns. The white horse took off through the trees, lowering his head some. "I'm sure you have things to discuss with your guards. My father should have accommodations ready for you as well."

[DJIce]

Axel held on as the horse took off, listening to what Durrin said behind him. He gave a slight nod, though he remained quiet with a stern look on his face as he thought to himself. He felt even more uneasy about the marriage now after what'd just happened, but what choice did he have? He knew it had to be done for the sake of his people and kingdom.

[RikkaTag]

Once the reached the edge of the pasture, the horse jumped the fence and ran through the field. In vein hopes of catching his next prey, so to speak, Durrin headed straight for the stables. Once they arrived, he pulled his stead to a halt and hopped down before offering his hand to the kitsune. "Come. I will leave you to the castle. I should be back by morning, if you don't see me at supper."

[DJIce]

Once they arrived back at the stables, Axel took Durrin's hand and hopped off the horse. He gave a questioning look to the other prince. Where on earth would he be going when there was so much to be done? He gave a slight nod, deciding not to question him about it.

[RikkaTag]

Durrin settled his horse in his stall before turning for the castle. "Come along. I will escort you back. I'm sure your guards are eager to see you and assure you are in one piece." The Okami led the way to the castle and sighed as he went. He would just simply need to escape before his-

 

"My son!! Wonderful!" The king came down the hall then and chortled deep in his chest. "I was hoping you two would be back. Come we shall be having tea in the sitting room. I have had Guile come with his flute to play something nice."

 

Durrin groaned as he ran a hand over his face. Leave it to his luck. He mumbled under his breath as he followed his father. "Found the dog.."

[DJIce]

Axel nodded and then followed behind the Okami. Once they reached the castle, his attention shifted over to the king and he smiled with a soft chuckle. His guards followed not far behind the king and seemed happy to see their prince was back and unharmed. "Oh my, that sounds nice." Axel said with a nod, then glanced over at Durrin. The Kitsune couldn't help but giggle at Durrin's obvious annoyance as he followed behind the king.

[RikkaTag]

Durrin grumbled ad he walked. He couldn't believe his luck. Plus, his libido was at the point of getting irritated. Perhaps it would work out in his favor though.

 

The king ignored or was oblivious to his son's mood. No one was really ever sure about the King's observational skills. He just carried on with his jolly attitude toward the sitting room. "So, prince Axel, has my son shown you parts of our land? I find it rather magnificent. I also hope you are open to learning about our culture. We are seen so viciously by the surrounding kingdoms, they think we are uncivilized. I assure you that is not the case." He stopped at a door and waited as the guards before it opened it. Inside was a quaint, well-sized room full of book shelves and a fireplace with a couch and two armchairs. "Come in. Guile should be here soon."

[DJIce]

Axel's tail swished slightly behind him and his ears perked up towards the Okami king. "Indeed. We took a ride on horseback and settled near a beautiful lake for a while." He hummed thoughtfully. "I would definitely be open to learning more about your culture. Now that the war is finally over I imagine we could all shed new light on our views of each other." He commented as they reached the door. He stepped inside with the others and looked around, his guards silently following rather close behind him.

[RikkaTag]

"Oh. He didn't do anything indecent?" The king laughed whole heartedly and shook his head. "I'm only kidding. Of course he didnt. My son is very well behaved." He gave his son a meaningful look before taking a seat in one of the chairs. "Prince Axel, are you ready to be married to such a man? I mean, he is my son, but he is so much like my brother. Very out there and easy going."

 

"Shut it, father." Durrin had venom lacing his words as he too took a seat, but on the couch. He sighed as he ran a hand through his hair and his tail flicked behind him. "Can we not discuss unnecessary things?"

 

"You're to be wed... I find it very necessary to know about each other." The king smiled at Axel and gestured to the couch. "A seat. He won't bite... too much."

[DJIce]

The Kitsune glanced to the side sheepishly, awkwardly rubbing the back of his head as he recalled what had happened when they were at the lake. Watching Durrin and his father go back and forth, it was obvious there was more to the Okami prince than he let on. Of course, Axel felt like he already had an idea. The guards on the other hand just looked between each other questioningly. Axel cleared his throat and made his way over to the couch, taking a seat. "Your father is right, prince Durrin. How can you expect either of us to get to know each other in a genuin manner if you refuse to show me who you really are? You would want me to be honest with you, right? I expect the same." He raised an eyebrow.

[RikkaTag]

"So assertive. I like this prince." The king laughed as he settled back in his seat. He ignored the glare he received from his son and looked to the kitsune guards. "You may have a seat. No need to stand around and tire yourself out."

 

"Look. I don't need your approval. It's already clear that you are taking this marriage no matter your feelings." Durrin turned to the kitsune prince and smirked at him. "I have less concerns for the marriage. Though, you may be fun to play with. I can find entertainment elsewhere. Are you understanding of what I'm saying? My uncle was to be king but was disinherited since he chose to take an enemy to bed. Thus my father was chosen. My father has only slept with one mate and they only procreate once."

[DJIce]

The guards nodded and took a seat on the couch on the other side of their prince. Axel's gaze narrowed as he listened to Durrin, then clicked his tongue softly. "Fun to play with you say?" His nose slightly wrinkled at his words. "My my, are you telling me the prince of the Okami sleeps around in his spare time?" He sat back with a serious look. "Don't you think that's a habit you need to break, especially now that you're betrothed and have to take up serious responsibility?"

[RikkaTag]

"What can I say? I have a big libido." Durrin grinned as he relaxed back on the couch. "It's not like you have plans of satisfying it."

 

The king laughed as he gestured to someone behind the couch. Guile was a lithe red furred Okami. He was a runt in lame terms, but thanks to that, he fit in in many locations. Not to mention attracted many eyes. The red furred Okami walked softly as he came around the couch with his flute and sat before the fire. He kept his head down and chanced a glance at the prince before he began to play.

 

The Okami prince watched Guile and turned an indignant look to the kitsune Prince. "See? You could be a minx like Guile. He knows how to attract and satisfy me."

[DJIce]

Axel rolled his eyes and folded his arms across his chest. When Guile came from behind the couch, his ears perked up and his eyes followed him. He hummed softly and smiled once he sat down and began to play, but Durrin's words pulled his attention back over to the Okami prince and his fur prickled irritably. "I could be a lot of things, but molding myself to be something I'm clearly not just to please a tramp is not one of them." He said with ice in his tone. His guards seemed to stiffen at his words. "Maybe you should just marry Guile then, since he ever so pleases you so much." He gave an innocent smile.

[RikkaTag]

"Ah.. but then I wouldn't have the pleasure of messing with you." Durrin hn'd as he turned his eyes back on the lithe Okami. He wet his lips and winked when Guile looked up, causing the Okami to look down with a modest blush. "Then again... perhaps he would be funner to marry. At least he knows modesty. Plus, I already know how he is in bed. What a mystery you are." The Okami prince crossed his ankle over his knee and shifted in his seat. "Not sure you would even last a minute."

 

"Durrin..." The king's tone was warning as he eyed the two princes. The last thing he wanted was for this peace treaty to fall through.

 

"Calm, father. I won't disappoint. Besides, the little kit cant refuse the marriage." Durrin smirked as he cast a glance to the other. "He is in great desire of this treaty."

[DJIce]

The Kitsune clenched his jaw, his violet eyes locked on the Okami prince. "Would be a shame for you to never be able to find that out, wouldn't it?" He said in a low tone. "At least I have the decency to act like a prince and not screw everyone who comes my way." His gaze moved to the Okami king, then drew in a breath and sat up more. "My apologies, your majesty." He said softly, though he looked to Durrin once more, his tail stiffening at his words. It angered him that he had to tie the knot with this man, but he needed to remind himself why he was there doing this. "I'm only marrying you for the good of both our kingdoms. Don't think you're going to get something out of me."

[RikkaTag]

"So... why complain if I get it from somewhere else? Every king is allowed his mistresses, my... queen." Durrin raised an eyebrow at the kitsune prince. He was pent up and didn't care how it took it out at this point. "Guile, why don't you meet us in my chambers tonight. We can show my future queen just what your skilled at."

 

Guile blushed deeply and looked between the two princes. The king quickly spoke up as he took a stand. "Durrin, that us enough! Guile, you are excused."

 

The lithe Okami bowed quickly as he hurried from the room. His feet couldn't carry him fast enough. He knew the king's wrath and rather not be on the other end of it.

[DJIce]

"I'm not your queen." Axel growled. He looked surprised when Durrin invited Guile to his chambers right there in front of everyone, his eyes moving to the other Okami. His ears lowered as the king took a stand and he watched as Guile quickly ran out of the room. The Kitsune sat back and looked down, going quiet as he lightly chewed on his bottom lip.

[RikkaTag]

Durrin bored flicked invisible dirt off his shoulder as he responded to his father indifferently. "Well, father, you are no fun. Perhaps you should be the one finding a mistress."

 

The king's nostrils flared as his son pushed on his nerves and he was about to say something when he suddenly snapped his mouth shut and turned to their guests. He bowed and forced a smile. "My apologies, Prince Axel. I assure you my son means no harm and is only jesting. If you'd excuse me, I'm going to take care of some papers I left unattended." The older Okami made his way from the room with a haggard look.

 

"Hn. Figures the old man would run." Durrin looked to the kitsune Prince's guard and raised an eyebrow. "The prince always so pent up with sexual frustration?"

[DJIce]

Axel nervously looked between Durrin and his father before his eyes stopped on the king as he forced a smile and apologized. He awkwardly fiddled with his tail once the king exited the room. That definitely hadn't gone how he'd expected it to. His attention shifted to Durrin and his mouth opened in disbelief. "Me?! You're the one who's practically humping the couch with desperation!" He barked. The guard opened his mouth and Axel lightly swatted him with his tail. "Don't even answer him!" He folded his arms across his chest and turned away from Durrin. "Pervert." He grumbled.
