Hoax, summer 1253
A sword flung gracefully through the air,
slicing an imaginary enemy with its sharp blade. Two others came up to it and
the swordsman struck them down with a single strike of his weapon, their bodies
falling lifelessly on the moss covered ground near the small brook.
The sweat was rolling down his bare chest in
little droplets, his muscles finally relaxing themselves after countless hours
of merciless training. He took off his sword belt and tossed it near his snow
white steed that was grazing calmly near the tree it had been tied against,
without even looking up to it's master.
With a sigh, the soldier sat himself next to
the brook and gathered some water in his hands to drink and run it over his
platinum blonde locks. Emitting a sound of delight at the freshness of the
water on his heated skin, he then stood up and shook his head, sending droplets
of water flying all around him. The white horse whickered in dismay at the
drops that landed on him, making his owner chuckle.
"Sorry, Bryn," He snickered, walking
over to the mammal and petting it's head lovingly,
"A little water won't do you harm…What do you say I give you a special
curry when we get back?" The steed then whickered excitedly and stomped
with it's hoofs, making the young man laugh, "I
had no idea you hated coming here so much!"
Bryn whinnied and gave his master a small push
with it's head into the direction of his belt and the
rest of his clothing that was lying on the ground.
Just as he bent over to retrieve his tunic, a
suspicious sound came out of the bushes ahead of him. In response, he then
slowly stood up straight, squinting into the direction of the sound. The horse
whickered behind him, as if sensing something. He hushed it with soothing
words, trying to distinct the object moving in between the branches.
"So this is where you come and
practice…"
"Your highness!" The soldier exclaimed and dropped on his knees for the apparition of Hoax'
heir on his horse.
"Ryuu… this is really starting to get
annoying…" The young prince whispered, with one hand on his hip,
"Stop calling me like that."
Ryuu averted his eyes and stood up to retrieve
his belongings, "I cannot do that, it wouldn't be right." He then
walked over to his horse and put his saddle on the animal.
Soryan rolled his sapphire orbs to the sky in
exasperation, "I've seen the way you've been looking at me when you think
I'm not watching."
This made the blonde briefly stop in his
actions, analyzing what had been said "Forgive me."
"Why? You didn't commit a crime, at least
not in my eyes." The young male whispered, jumping off his steed and
walking over to him. "And once I become King, I'll be the law in this
country…"
"My prince, please," Ryuu interrupted
him, turning around to look at him with a pained expression, "We can't do
this! It'll bring us both into problems and put the peace treaty in jeopardy,
which will lead to war between Hoax and Emyra."
Soryan simply watched him for a moment before
adverting his eyes to the brook on his right, "If there's one thing I've
learned in the few months that I've been here, then it is to be relentless when
it comes to conquering. Doesn't that sound familiar in your ears, Ryuu?"
Ryuu clenched his teeth together, helpless; he
needed to hear him out. If he left the prince on his own, this would be seen as
negligence from his part and he could be set off from his duties as guard of
the royal couple… and somewhere inside he didn't want to loose this function
and he knew that the reason stood a few meters ahead of him.
"Amenon The
Great! Amenon, The Iron Hand of the West!" Soryan
loudly spoke with a small smile on his face, "How I used to shake with
fear in my bed when I heard all of those stories… How I dreaded the day I would
have to come to this country, even though I knew that it was the only way to
save mine from being invaded and conquered by you, the Hoaxians."
The prince then turned around and stepped up to
the blonde and his horse, "You truly are a predacious nation… always after
more; more land, more richness, more women, slaves…" He chuckled briefly
at Ryuu's expression of confusion, "Don't worry, I'm not saying this in a
disrespectful way… It's just an observation and I am aware that you are more
than only predators when it comes to conquering land… you bring your knowledge
and habits…" Soryan was now standing right in front of the young soldier,
who had backed himself against the trunk of a tree, "But you never let the
inhabitants bring you their knowledge…" A slender hand with a large blue
ring slowly rose up and touched a slightly flushed cheek, "You never let
anyone get too close to you…"
Ryuu gulped, the mere contact with Soryan's
hand setting his senses on fire.
"But as said before… I've learned how to
be relentless when it comes to conquering something. And right now…"
Crystal blue eyes pierced into aqua ones with determination, "I've set out
to conquer you…"
"My prince—"
"Hush… and let me do this, I'm not letting
you walk away this time…" With that said he pressed his lips against
Ryuu's slightly parted ones, looking him in the eyes as he did this. "We
are both grown men… why deny what we feel for each other like little children
would? It’s not like we should be disgusted by our feelings..."
Ryuu groaned softly, cursing his body for
reacting the way it did… He simply watched and bit his lips in shameful desire
as the prince slowly slid down his body and started to unfasten the leather
laces keeping his pants together. A light brush of exploring fingers sliding
down his torso was all he needed to arch his back in pleasure and writhe for more.
His mind may have ignored the sexual tension that had not ceased to grow after
the last time they had been together, but his body sure hadn't and right now it
reacted full force to even the slightest of his
touches. "Soryan…"
"Shhh…" The
brunette whispered, looking up at him from his hunched position near the
blonde's groin, "Don't fight it…"
"Soryan…" He throatily murmured
again, grabbing hold of the younger man's mass of chocolate brown locks. He
knew that he'd loose control over his body in a few moments and in a way he
welcomed the idea, the temptation becoming too much to ignore...In that precise
moment, Ryuu took the decision that put the wheels of their fate in action. He
decided to welcome the pleasure procured by the young prince, give him his love
and protect him from everything, anything from the outside…
The words of the old man he had met in the
cathedral almost two months ago were still crystal clear in his head and right
now, he had to admit that he desperately wanted to believe them. He couldn't
deny the love he had for the prince any longer. Consequences or not, denying
Soryan his love was killing him slowly from the inside and he knew that Soryan
felt the same way too.
A strong hand took hold of the back of the
younger one's head, making him look up at the blonde and coaxing him to stand
and facing him. "I want you."
Soryan barely received the time to moan his
lover's name out when Ryuu lips crashed upon his, devouring him with rough
strokes of his tongue and tender bites on his lower lip. Calloused fingertips
then wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer, intensifying the kiss.
"Ryuu…!" The prince
breathed out, pulling out of the passionate kiss for air and pressing his
forehead against Ryuu's lips in contentment. "Now, was it really that
hard?"
"Yes… It really was…" Ryuu murmured,
dipping his head to nip the skin underneath the brunette's right jaw line.
"But now I know what I've been missing…"
"O-ohh…"
Soryan moaned, his eyes fluttering shut as his head fell backwards in pleasure,
giving his ardent guardian full access to his throat. Another moan escaped his
lips at the friction between their grinding lower bodies, their movements
growing in need with every wordless encouragement from the brunette. One hand
then crawled in between them, tugging at his belt before unbuckling it with a
rough gesture and letting it fall around his feet. Another hand then slid over
the curve of his right shoulder, dragging the red suede tunic with it, easing
it off his body. His sapphire blue eyes followed his every move, watching with
a lustful eye as every inch of his body got revealed to his exploring lover.
"How I have longed for your hands to touch me like this again…" He
whispered throatily into Ryuu's right ear as the blonde moved in to caress
kisses in his throat and on his collarbone. The thrilling sensation of those
lips on his body caused his knees to grow weak and he soon found himself
clinging to him in desperate need for more.
It didn't take long until the prince was clad
in nothing else but his black side-laced, tapered leather pants and his
knee-high black leather boots. His lean and tanned torso was slightly
glistening with a small layer of perspiration, his chest heaving up and down in
anticipation.
Ryuu simply watched his body for a moment
before approaching him again and stepping around and behind him. "I'll
protect you. No matter what."
Soryan's eyes widened at that, the meaning of
these simple words giving him the answers he had long waited for. "You're
the only one I want to be with…"
Ryuu embraced his lover from behind and pressed
a kiss at the junction of his neck and left shoulder, coaxing him to move
closer to the tree right in front of them. "I know," He then
whispered, even though the underlying meaning of these words threatened to
overwhelm him with feelings of helplessness… helplessness because they both
knew that their love couldn't possibly exist in the open without causing a
fatal outcome for one or maybe both of them.
"You're in for quite some trouble…
…that person is your significant
other."
Those feelings he felt… love… he had never felt
this way… It was not the typical love a soldier had for his lord, or like the
loyalty of a servant towards his master, but something deeper… something
rawer…It was a constant need that needed to be satisfied… he could feel it in
his guts and most importantly in his heart as well as his mind…And Soryan was
the only one who could procure him what he so desperately desired and required…
"Take me, Ryuu…please…"
He looked at the young male in front of him,
bent forwards and resting with his hands against the trunk of the tree. His
fingers immediately moved to untie the laces on the sides of the prince's
pants, sliding the piece of clothing down his bare legs as it had been
unfastened enough. Seen the fact that the pants were obstructing the
possibility to spread the brunette's legs further than possible, Ryuu quickly
addressed his attention to his beautifully shaped buttocks and caressed them
lovingly. A smirk crossed his features as he saw him seek more of his touch,
whining in discontent at the brief contact. "It is not appropriate for an
heir to whine like this…"
"It is not appropriate to make a prince
wait for what he wants so desperately…" Soryan breathed back, arching his
back as a finger delicately traced the path in between his buttocks. "Ryuu
please, you're torturing me… ah…"
"Patience is a virtue, my lord…" Ryuu
softly snickered, watching as his right index finger entered Soryan's tight
warmth, causing his lover to gasp loudly in pleasure and pain. He didn't give
him the time to adjust to that one finger and quickly added a second to stretch
him better.
Soryan held on to the trunk tightly, his eyes
shut tightly at the pain Ryuu's fingers caused within him, "R-Ryuu…
p-please…"
"We haven't done this in a while, my
prince, and we don't have any form of lubrication…" He whispered, his
fingers making chiseling motions while his other hand crept over the brunette's
left hip and up his naked torso to caress him there.
"Ah… L-look into my pouch… there's some
oil in there…" Soryan panted, looking over his shoulder at the feeling of
loss the withdrawal of Ryuu's fingers caused and watching how he came back with
a small glass vessel containing a golden liquid.
"How does this feel?" Ryuu asked,
inserting the two fingers he had used before, but now coated with a layer of
oil.
"Better… my preference goes out to
something a little larger…" The prince murmured, moving his hips to the
movement of his lover's hand and fingers.
"There you go being all impatient again;
I'm starting to think that you'd make a great successor to Amenon…" The
blonde chuckled, removing his fingers again and lowering his linen trousers
just enough.
"Aah!"
Soryan moaned at the press of Ryuu's tip at his entrance, "Why? You didn't
think I was cut out for the job? Mmmmhhh!"
"I never doubted a second about your
governing abilities…" He whispered back, his manhood sliding inside his
lover with one slick thrust, making Soryan moan his
pleasure loudly and passionately.
"Oh, Ryuu… yes…a-ah!" The brunette
whimpered, his eyes tightly shut and his body jerking forwards with each of
Ryuu's hard and vigorous strokes. The front of his head was resting against his
right arm leaning against the trunk of the tree, his voice breathy and throaty
as he expressed his wordless desire.
Ryuu arched his neck at the intense pleasure
and moaned slightly, his hands on Soryan's hips exerting more force in his
pulls, savoring the soft cries of ecstasy his rough treatment elicited from his
lover.
"I… I love… you…" Soryan sobbed,
biting into the flesh of his right arm to prevent himself from screaming it out
loud, "Ryuu… oh please…"
He knew that this time he had no excuse to deny
Soryan those three words again, so he gently bent over him and pressed a soft
kiss on his spine, closing his eyes and slowing down his thrusts, "From
the first time I laid my eyes upon you, I knew I had lost my heart to you… Many
nights I have spent without sleep, my body yearning to see you again after
every separation…"
"Ryuu…" Soryan whimpered; the switch
of pace threatening to bring him over the edge too soon.
"Soryan… you are the only one who has ever
affected me is such a manner…" Ryuu now breathed, still bent over the
smaller male, "I love you…"
A soft sigh escaped Soryan at these words before
his voice raised a few notes at the sudden acceleration of his lover's thrusts
again, "My god…!"
"I wish… to remain loyal... both to you
and to my country…" The soldier breathed in time with his strokes, working
towards his much anticipated release, "I will protect you with my body… my
life… and all of my love… for you…"
A loud scream resounded in the depths of the
forest, a group of birds flying up from the trees surrounding the clearing and
up into the clear sky...

New
Xillion City, spring 2004
Tuesday morning, 8.39 am
The
two egg yolks frying in the pan stared back at me like a pair of eerie amber
eyes, my mouth opening itself and letting a long yawn out.
After
I had woken up earlier, I had fallen back asleep for some twenty minutes, which
left me feeling a little tired. I had only two classes today, the first one
starting at 10 and the other at 3 in the afternoon.
I left
the eggs for what they were and walked over to the coffee machine to pour out
two mugs of the black liquid and put them on the small round kitchen table.
"Morning…"
I
raised my head to look at Sora's apparition standing in the kitchen door and
gave him a groggy smile before replying with an
equally drowsy greeting. He was wearing one of my black shirts with the pink
inscription 'Pornography needs me' that was two sizes too big for him and a
pair of matching pj's. His hair… well what was there
to say about it? It looked as messed up as it did the day before, maybe even
more. Although I don't think that was quite possible…
"Slept
well?" I asked before yawning again and running a hand through my hair and
giving him a grin. Why did I have to show my teeth like that? "Not that
the couch offers a great quality of comfort, but…"
His
soft chuckle made my grin grow bigger and gave me an energy boost. It was
unbelievable how much of an effect he had on me with a simple chuckle. Did I
already say that I simply loved his smile?
"I
slept like baby…" He whispered, walking over to the eggs still frying in the
pan, "You?"
"Better
than I have in days…" I replied, coming to stand next to him and opening
the fridge to take out to the butter and milk. "I didn't even dream."
"People
always dream in their sleep," Sora said, taking the eggs out of the pan
with a spatula and putting them on a plate. "You probably just forgot what
it was about."
We
both walked over to the dressed table and put our items on the table before
taking seat on opposite seats from each other.
"Alright,
so what did you dream about?" I asked him, taking a slice of bread out of
the basket right from me. His witness about this subject just kept stirring my
curiosity.
"You,"
He simply said, putting two sugar cubes into his coffee and stirring the warm
liquid with a spoon.
"Now
when you say 'you'," I spoke, resting with one elbow on the table and
swallowing the first bite I took from my bread slice, "Do you mean—"
"Ryuu,"
He interrupted me, nodding, "Yes."
I
smirked, I knew that… "Okay, he may not be me, but we share the same body…
I'm flattered."
Sora
gave me a small smile and blushed a little before
taking a sip from his coffee, "And you have all rights to be…"
I
frowned slightly, not understanding the meaning of his words. Then it suddenly
dawned on me… we, err I mean, Soryan and Ryuu had sex… again…"Oh…" I
couldn't help the blush that crossed my features then either and for some
stupid and unknown reason I couldn't put it up to look at him for a long time.
"So uhm… they settled their little
dispute?"
"Yeah
they did…" Sora whispered, scratching his neck and hesitantly looking up
at me, biting his lower lips slightly.
"This
is weird…" I admitted after having cleared my throat at his angelic, yet
seductive way of looking at me at times. "I mean… you and I…"
"Yeah…
but Riku, they are not us… We just share their bodies and their
experiences" He whispered, "And besides, things are different
now."
"You
and me," I took hold of his hand lying on the table, and shook my head,
showing him my disagreement with his words, "what they felt for each other
back then and what we feel for each other now is the same. There's no
difference."
His
eyes lay on our joined hands for a moment before they shifted to rest on my
face, "Are you serious about this? A-about us…?"
I knew
deep inside that running away from what was obvious, was a stupid thing to do,
let alone simply egoistical. "I'm as serious as I can be…" I said,
squeezing his hand briefly and giving him a determined look, "And I don't
know if the way I feel is because of what happened in the past, but I do know
that I'm in love with you right now."
Sora
let out a shaky sigh and then smiled timidly, "I'm in love with you too…
but…"
"But what?" I softly asked, watching him intertwine our fingers.
"Let's
take things slow…" He nervously whispered, tucking a strand of his hair
behind an ear, "There's no hurry, right? We barely know each other…"
I put
my left elbow next to my plate and rested my chin in the palm of my hand,
looked at him with a small smile without saying anything, all the while
caressing his thumb with my right one on the table. I started to grin when my
silence became uncomfortable to him, his eyes looking from side to side and
silently asking for a spoken answer. How could a boy have so much effect on me
like that?
"Why
are you looking at me like that?" He finally asked, making me chuckle.
"Can't
I look at my boyfriend as I please?" I asked, silently noticing how the
word 'boyfriend' just rolled out of my mouth like I had never known otherwise.
It just felt… right.
His
cheeks flared with a cute pinkish colour and he softly chuckled, trying to hide
his smile by looking down into his lap.
"Did
I say something wrong?" I amusedly asked, seeking his eyes as he
constantly moved them away from mine. He was so cute.
"No,
it's just… I've never had a guy calling me 'his' boyfriend before…" He
shyly admitted, his cheeks crimsoning even more now.
I
chuckled, "Then I guess we're both new at this…"
"Yeah…"
He slightly giggled, finally looking up at me with those mesmerizing set of
eyes.
"Come
here…" I then said, lifting our joined hands above the table, pulling him
to me as he stood and sitting him on my lap. "I know you haven't had many
pleasant experiences with other guys… I don't have any experience when it comes
to loving other men romantically, but I'll tell you this; I'm in no rush
whatsoever to get you into my bed. For now, I just want to talk to you, listen
to you, and get to know you more. We'll know when the time will be right to
take what we feel for each other to a higher level…"
He
just looked at me with a relieved look in his eyes and then brushed my hair
back a little, "Thank you…" His arms enveloped themselves around me
and we shared a tender hug, my lips pressing against his left cheek to leave a
kiss there. He giggled and let go of me, gazing at me with pleased eyes,
"You're so sweet, even though you don't like showing it."
I
laughed heartedly at that. Maybe it was true… and I didn't show my kindness too
often. Only the people who were close to me knew how I really was; a big
softie.
"Maybe
it is you who brings my sentimental self out…?" I whispered as I moved my
lips closer to his for a kiss.
"Then
I shall use that power to my advantage…" He replied; his eyes fixed on my
lips and the corners of his mouth forming an impish smile, silently giving his
content for my approach.
"Really
now…?" I mindlessly murmured, closing my eyes.
"Yeah…"
I
don't think that there had been much time to eat after that intense kissing
session. Time does fly when you're having fun doesn't it?
___________________________________
5.57 pm
I had
finished all of my classes for the day and was now driving over to the
CQ-magazine to pick up Sora from his first day of work. I parked my car in the
underground parking lot and just stepped into the elevator when the polyphonic
tone of my portable started to play in the pocket inside my jacket.
"Hello?"
"Am I talking to Riku Masako?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"This is Kairi's father, Ansem Kuro."
"Mr Kuro, what can I do for you?"
"I have a business proposition for you,
Riku, and I would like for us to meet."
"A business proposition?"
"Yes, how about tomorrow evening at 8 in
'La Godiva'?"
"I …tomorrow—?"
"I shall take that as a yes. I shall see
you tomorrow then; have a pleasant evening, Riku."
"Mr Kur—"
I
stared at the device in my right hand and frowned. What was that all about? Why
would Kairi's father want to work with me? Did Kairi say something? Judging by
the way Mr Kuro sounded over the phone he didn't want no for an answer… and it
was strange for the big CEO of Ansem Enterprises to call someone up personally
like that, making me wonder all the more about his motives. I shrugged it off
though, I would have to wait for tomorrow to find answers to these questions…
I
stepped out of the elevator and asked at the reception where I'd be able to
find Sora. I got directed to the studios on the 13th floor and
indeed found him there, standing a meter of two next to Dom, taking notes.
"Hi,"
I whispered, coming up from behind him and kissing him gently on his left
cheek, startling him.
"You
almost gave me a heart attack!" He whispered back, turning around and
taking off his glasses he used for reading before kissing me back, "I'm
almost done, it's the last shot."
I
nodded and stood up straight, watching the black haired model taking in poses
for what seemed like a jewellery collection.
I
walked around the studio, waiting for Sora to finish up and came to stand in
front of a large mirror that happened to stand against a wall. Not that I'm
vain or anything, but I had to admit that I looked better than I had in days. A
small smirk appeared on my face and I put my hands on my hips in a pose. I
chuckled briefly at my arrogant expression and that's when I noticed the blue
ring on my right index finger. I frowned slightly; I didn't remember putting it
on this morning… maybe Sora had slipped it on my finger? If so, then why did I
only notice this now?
I
brought my hand closer to my face and studied the dark blue ornament for a
moment. It really was a beautiful piece of antique jewellery. Then I realised
something else; wasn't it strange that this ring, that had belonged to prince
Soryan almost 700 years ago now had found it's way back to his re-incarnated
form?
I
looked at my reflection again and at the ring's twin in the mirror. The
feelings of danger I had had this morning came back full force, the ring
seeming to respond to them with a faint glow. My head started to hurt again and
I sat myself down in a nearby chair, my eyes closed. Everything seemed to
rotate around me and I gasped, taking hold of my head in my hands.
"Prince Soryan is of no need to us anymore. I want him dead by
tonight."
"What about the Emyrans, my lord?"
"The peace treaty is of no use with their prince dead, is it? Kill
those still in the castle. We will set out for Emyra first thing in the morning.
I want my entire battalion to be ready to head out by then."
"Very well, my lord."
A loud
gasp escaped me and I stood up, almost stumbling backwards over the chair and
panting like I had just run a 500m at top speed. My eyes were teary and I my
heart beat like crazy in my chest.
"Riku!"
I saw
Sora running up to me with a worried look on his face. I took him in my arms,
holding him tightly to me, the words I had heard still horribly clear in my
mind. "They killed you…" I couldn't stop whispering, crying uncontrollably,
"Oh god, they killed you…"
It
felt like a piece of my soul had died, the sorrow of over 700 years coming back
up to the surface in the form of excruciating, emotional pain.
