Two males. Two teens. Two princes. The elder holding the younger in a loose embrace. The younger's head resting on the elder's chest snugly. Both sets of eyes were closed. Their faces peaceful and splotched with shadows from the leaves that swayed gently in the light breeze from the tree they sat under. A presence watched from a tree branch above them, a smirk gracing his lips and then letting a slight chuckle escape.

"Those two, huh? Hm, certainly makes things interesting. But, at least we know now why he suddenly gave up his feelings for the girl".

There was suddenly the short panting breaths of Ryuu as he ran as best as he could towards the two, making the elder awake and reveal stunning blue eyes. The young herbalist eventually slowed down and stood panting, attempting to catch his breath, and handed over a small bottle of mixture. "Here you go Sire...the medicine you wanted for him".

"Thank you, you can go back to your studying now if you like" the blue eyed boy smiled gratefully and the herbalist gave a brief nod of his head before running back towards the castle. The boy then proceeded to nudge the other boy in his arms awake. "Raji, I got something for you".

The brunette slowly awoke and looked up at the white haired boy and then to the bottle in his free hand. "What's that?" asked his raspy voice, making him shudder and clutch a hand to his stomach at the thought of drinking vile tasting medicine.

"It'll help you, you idiot, now drink up".

"But Zen, I really-"

"Just hurry up and drink it, before you know it you'd have forgotten all about it".

"Is that suggesting something?"

"Depends on if you drink this or not. Ryuu doesn't do errands like this for nothing y'know". Zen then opened up the bottle and helped Raji pour the substance down his throat, letting it do it's job. "There, now if you continue to rest for a bit longer then it'll clear up that chest infection nicely".

"You didn't have to drink such vileness, Zen, but nethertheless I'm thankful". Raji then proceeded to shift back into his original position and closed his eyes again, breathing easing out as he slipped into slumber.

Zen wrapped his arms round the younger prince and nestled him closer, if possible, before letting himself drift off to sleep too. The presence in the tree above them shook his head and leant back against the trunk as he continued to keep an eye on the two below him.
