Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 The prince gave a slight smile, letting his eyes close as Haru brushed his tears away. "I was truthful about my name..." he said softly. "It really is Len Kagamine. Most people knew me only as 'Aku no Ouji'." The blond felt a strange warmth in his cheeks.

CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Len's smile faded, the boy glancing down. "I still have to tell your mother..." he said softly. "But I'm not sure if she will be as... accepting..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 "I hope so..." he said softly, his expression getting a little more grim. "...Haru... your father... did he leave? Or... was it... my fault?" The younger male glanced away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Haru tensed up and glanced away, "I...It's a mix of both to be perfectly honest." He said quietly. "But it was mostly my fault." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Len glanced back at the older boy. Now it was his turn to feel sadness for the other. Guilt hit him hard, and he reached up, his fingers curling into the other boy's hair. "Your fault?" he asked hesitantly. "Are you really sure about that?"

CorruptedMoon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Haru gave a weak smile before it faded and he glanced away, "I'm glad you feel that way..." He said softly, closing his eyes. "But there's more." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Len didn't move from his position. He still kept his embrace, still with his head rested on Haru's chest. "Mmh?" he murmured. "What happened?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorruptedMoon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 "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.

Shadow Fire Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 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.
