"What do you mean you're too busy? You need to take a break sometime, Mei~"

The whining voice on the other side of the door made the older prince wince a little. He felt horrible for keeping his little brother out, but there wasn't much else he could do. He still had matters that needed tending to. He made sure the door was completely locked before he crossed the room back to his desk.

"C'mon, Mei-Mei. You've never locked me out before. This isn't faaaaaaiiirrr!~" Kouha scratched at the door like a puppy who wanted to be let in. "You can't be doing anything special in there. Why can't I come in?"

The younger prince had often watched his brother work. He enjoyed listening to him mumbling out possible strategies in that calm baritone voice of his. Sitting on his lap for any number of hours at night, with his head nuzzled into his older brother's chest. Just listening to his voice as he progressively grew more tired. Those tired mumbles always made Kouha smile. But what he loved the most was when his brother fell asleep in the middle of his planning. The way he would slump in his chair and just cuddle him in his sleep.

"I'll let you in later. I'm very busy right now."

Kouha pouted outside the door and sat down, pressing his back against it as he brought his knees up to his chest in a child like way. "Promise you'll let me in?"

"I promise. Just sit tight for a little while, okay?"

"Fiiiiiiiine..." Kouha knocked his head back against the door, huffing under his breath. "I swear if you're just working on battle strategies again, you're going to get it when I come in." The younger prince wouldn't really hurt his brother, at least not to the extent of killing him.

Koumei let out a relieved sigh when his younger brother agreed to wait a little while longer. Without hesitating any further, he continued his work, rolling his sleeves up delicately. The third prince sat outside of the door all the while, humming to himself as he waited impatiently. He would soon get tired of just sitting there and would wander off to the gardens.

The hallways of the palace were so drab and the pink haired prince could hardly stand it. He didn't like staring at them for too long, it made him terribly antsy and he couldn't sit still in one place in the building for long because of it.

Bursting out into the bright sunlight of the outdoors made him almost swoon. The rays cascading onto his skin, covering him in soothing warmth as he trotted down the path towards the garden. He spent a lot of his time outside amongst the flourishing flowers. He particularly enjoyed the small manmade pond off to the side. He was content to lay in the grass nearby and just swirl his hand around in the cool water all day.

He sat down in front of the pond now, looking at his reflection. His eyes strayed to the gorgeous flowers that were blooming just above the water. He had handpicked the seeds from a bazaar awhile ago. He was glad to see that his servants had taken care of them while he had been away from the palace. He traced his fingers along one of the petals, sighing happily.

Kouha could think of no better place for the gorgeous lotus blooms to be. Aside from being displayed proudly on his brother's desk, at least. Wistfully, he looked over the flowers, picking the most beautiful one. He stroked along one of the petals apologetically before delicately tucking it beside his ear for safe keeping.

"Mei has to be done by now." He stood up and stretched before wandering back into the palace.

Just as he had started to walk down the hall, he heard his brother's door unlock and he skipped towards it. He happily opened the door and stepped inside. Koumei was sitting at his desk as usual. There weren't even the slightest hints of the usual things on his desk. So he obviously hadn't been working on his battle plans.

"Mei-Mei!~" he cooed at his older brother before plopping down into his lap and pressing his face into his neck happily. "You almost kept me waiting too long~"

"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't want to spoil anything." Koumei looked away shyly, tilting his head to the side slightly as Kouha pressed his face closer to his neck, nipping at the light skin.

"Spoil what?"

"I've been making something for you..."

Kouha's eyes lit up immediately and he sat straighter. "Whatissit? Whatissit?!"

He started pawing at his brother's clothes curiously, mewling. Koumei's face turned a light shade of crimson. He shakily reached out and grabbed his enthusiastic brother's hands, trying to still them.

"A-Ah...it isn't in my clothes. Silly Kouha."

"Then where is it?"

Koumei reached towards his desk after he let go of his brother's hands. Kouha pouted and smacked at him a bit, naturally assuming that he was about to start his work again on him. The redhead winced quietly and continued anyway, opening the drawer. He wrestled a small box from the depths and set it gently on his desk.

Kouha nearly pounced on it, eager to see what was inside it. His older brother stopped him though, wrapping an arm around his waist. He glanced back at him confusedly before settling back on his lap reluctantly.

"Close your eyes, okay?" Koumei spoke softly as he reached to open the box. "And open your mouth."

He nodded and closed his eyes, his jaw falling open as he waited. Koumei flipped the box open and reached into it. Kouha felt something sweet being placed onto his tongue and he greedily shut his mouth, sucking at it. He instantly recognized it as chocolate and he mewed happily. His eyes slid open to look up at his brother.

Koumei fed another piece of the chocolate to him, blushing when Kouha sucked at his fingers as he ate the next morsel. The pink haired man cooed again as the sweet candy melted down his throat.

"I'm sorry it isn't the greatest ever."

"No, its delicious!~"

"It is? I-I made more. Help yourself." He gestured to the opened box.

"Nah, I want you to continue feeding me." He stretched his legs over the other side the chair, sitting across Koumei's lap.

Koumei blushed and slowly nodded. "Okay." He grabbed the box and rested it on the younger prince's stomach, picking out another bit of chocolate. Kouha opened his mouth wide, sticking his tongue out eagerly. He ate the chocolate happily, licking his lips in between pieces.

It was very sweet, not that Kouha had any complaints about it. A rich dark chocolate that rivaled even the finest candy shops in the bazaar. The redhead was surprised that his brother even liked it. He was sure he had screwed it up somehow and made in inedible.

"It really tastes that good?"

"Did you want me to prove it to you, Mei-Mei?~" Kouha looked up at him with a smirk.

He didn't wait for an answer, reaching into the box to pick out a piece of candy. It was a small chocolate heart. He bit down onto one side and then looked up at his brother, raising an eyebrow enticingly. Koumei looked down at him and blushed at the look he was getting. But, he was curious about finding out if the candy really tasted as good as he said.

He leaned in and slowly bit down on the other half, his lips just lightly brushing against his brother's. Kouha bit off his piece, smirking still as he let the chocolate melt into his mouth. Koumei slurped up the remaining piece after a minute, chewing slowly. He was surprised that it did actually taste delicious.

But what surprised him more was feeling Kouha's hand on the back of his head, pulling him down. He let out a small cry and was quickly silenced by the younger prince's lips once again meeting his. Kouha groaned into his mouth heatedly and swept his tongue across the man's teeth, licking up the melted chocolate. Koumei stared down at him in shock before he slowly started to kiss back. He felt the other tug him down further, making out with him a little more feverishly.

Koumei quickly warmed up to the kiss and shoved his tongue into his younger brother's mouth, moaning quietly at the remnants of melted chocolate. However, he had to breathe. He pulled away briefly to suck in a ragged gasp of air before Kouha crushed him back onto his lips for more. His eyes fluttered shut as their tongues brushed together again, warm and wet with saliva and melted chocolate.

Their tongues wrestled for a minute before Kouha moved away. The elder one followed him, swiping his tongue into his mouth again. Kouha smirked playfully and wrapped his lips around his brother's tongue, giving it a long, loving suck. Koumei's eyes slid shut and he swooned as the younger prince licked the chocolate off of his tongue.

Kouha pulled back after a moment and smirked, not caring that there was chocolate smeared all over his lips from the impromptu make out session. Koumei's eyes opened and he looked down at him with a deep blush. He couldn't think of anything to say.

"I told you it tasted good~" Kouha purred at him, stroking a hand down his chest. "But I think it tastes better when its been in your mouth first~"

"I-I-I guess.." He could still feel the other's gentle sucking on his tongue even though the kiss was over, still able to feel the pleasurable tingle. "A-Ah, I made a mess."

He pulled a napkin out and got ready to wipe the chocolate off of his sibling's face. Kouha leaned away from him as he avoided the napkin, giggling a bit. He pouted and continued trying to wipe his face off before the napkin was snatched from him and tossed away.

"I want you to lick it off, Mei~"

"Okay..." He moved closer. "If you really insist, Kouha."

Koumei leaned in and started to slowly lick the chocolate off, closing his eyes as he did. The pink haired boy moaned softly, reaching up to caress his brother's warm cheek. He blushed and continued cleaning his face off. Kouha pulled the lotus blossom from behind his ear and slowly wove it through the other's rich red hair.

The older prince opened his eyes, blinking a bit as he felt the other's fingers thread through his hair. Kouha smiled up at him and gestured over to the mirror before standing up and setting the box down on the desk. He got up after a moment and walked towards the mirror, looking at his reflection.

Towards the left side of his head, there was a beautiful blue lotus woven into his hair, accented by brilliant purple tips. He stared at it for awhile, mouth agape. He blinked a few times and moved back towards his chair, at a near loss of what to say. He sat down slowly, letting out a soft sound when Kouha settled himself back on his lap.

"Its gorgeous..."

"It is?" Kouha smiled up at him brightly, his eyes glittering.

Koumei nodded and smiled back, blushing when his brother abruptly hugged him around the neck, pressing his body flush against his chest as he snuggled in. He felt Kouha nuzzle into the side of his neck again and slowly wrapped his arms around him, breathing out a sigh against his ear.

"Mei?"

"Yeah?"

"I am gonna bang you so hard tonight~" Kouha mumbled against his neck, snuggling closer to his older sibling.
