Haru gave a faint smile, though a pang of guilt rang in his heart. He was supposed to HATE the prince. The one who (unknowingly) caused his father's death. But when he looked at the boy in his arms, he couldn't feel any anger or hurt or hatred. He felt the need to protect him, to keep him close...

 

...to love him?

 

He blushed faintly; where had that come from?

Haru nodded, a sad smile forming. "Yes." He took a deep breath before starting to explain. "My father and I used to be very close. I was closer to him then I was to my own mother. We did everything together, hunting, training, building, even our chores." The sadness was replaced with fondness, but it quickly faded as he continued. "But then, he found out something that I had been keeping from him. That I was attracted to men instead of women." At this, he let go of the blonde, sure that the other would be disgusted, just as his father had been.

Len kept his glance on Haru, his cheeks getting a bit red once more.

 

"Haru..." he said softly. "Was your father truly disgusted, or... did he just need to absorb it in? And... why are you concerned about my reaction? I too... share this burden with you. Aoi's prince visited the lands, and I fell in love with him... even asked if he'd take my hand in marriage. But... he only had eyes for that Midori girl. I'm sure you know what happened next."

 

The blond brought the older boy closer again, this time embracing him. The prince closed his eyes and rested his head gently on the older boy's chest.

 

"You're..." he began. "...the first person since Rin to make me feel like I truly belonged."

"After he found out, we began drifting apart. It didn't take long before we couldn't even been in the same room without starting a fight." He trembled, forcing back tears as he continued, "One night, I told him, 'If you can't love and accept me for who I am, you can just die for all I care!'. He left that night." No matter how hard he tried, tears began slipping down his cheeks. "How was I to know I'd never see him again? How was I to know that he would go to Midori?!" He broke into soft sobs.

Only then did Len lift his gaze, staring Haru in the eyes.

 

"Haru..." he said softly. "My nightmare... when it calmed, I met your father's spirit. I think he knew how you're feeling. He's proud of you. He threatened to haunt me for the rest of my life and after, should I ever cause you another injustice. Your father... Takeshi Saito... loved you... and he still does."

 

The prince lifted a hand to cup the other boy's cheek.

 

"So please..." he pleaded. "...don't be sad."

 

Len quickly leaned forward, placing a chaste kiss on the older boy's lips.
