PROVIDENCE

A/n: the title means something like fate or destiny. always have wanted to do a fic for this pairing and in the spur of the moment cooked this up. It didn't turn up as I had planned per-say but it's still fine. I think.

Warning: Shounen-ai. Mentions of mpreg. OOC.

"Your highness!" a voice is heard from outside the royal chamber.

After having the permission to enter, the knight stands tall and says "your highness, King Behemoth's army has infiltrated the outer gates. It'll not be long before they breach the main gates and they'll be upon us in moments''.

The dark haired king nodded as his spouse continued to fix his armor on him.

"Then prepare the men and ready the horse. Tonight we go into battle!" this brave statement was followed by a yelp as his shoulder plate was strapped on more tightly than usual, displaying his spouse's dark mood.

The knight hid his smile as much as he could, bowed and went away.

"You're angry" said the king matter-of-factly.

"No" came the abrupt reply.

"Yes" the king pushed.

"I'm not angry Tatsu, I'm upset"

"Taka, I" he let out another yelp as his breast plate was tightened with force again.

He sighed as his spouse continued to fix on his armor for him. Usually this was done by his menservants but tonight was a special occasion and Furuichi had insisted on doing it himself.

Oga couldn't help the small smile that danced on the edge of his lips. What a sight his husband was with his pale skin, almost sheer snow white robe fluttering around, his gold and silver armband and belt glistening under the light, his bangles chiming softly and his ring-like shaped crown holding his beautiful silver hair in place. And the annoyed expression he wore made him seem even more beautiful.

As the last piece of armor was fixed, Furuichi moved away from Oga but the king grasped his husband's left hand and brought it to his lips. He kissed the soft palm gently and looked up to see a pained expression on his beloved's face.

Oga's right hand cupped his husband's cheek.

"You know I have to do this"

Furuichi leaned into the hand.

"I hope you don't have to go"

Oga smiled softly.

"I'm the king of this land Taka. I have to''

Furuichi frowned "You're also my husband. And a father to two children. Our children."

Oga's smile is sad as he says "but this is my responsibility"

Furuichi's shoulder slumped. "Did you know that En can already sense it? His power is getting stronger than ever but because of his worry he's getting a bit careless and has had more accidents with his flames. Even little Beel knows something is wrong. It took me forever to convince them to sleep tonight"

As he said this he leaned into his dark haired lover's chest. Oga placed both of his hands on his pale angel's waist and brought him as close to him as he could despite the thick armor and all.

"I would love to see them before I leave, but I…if I do then I won't be able to go. Argh, never mind! I'll just train En after I come back and we can take baby Beel to the forest that he likes so much too!" said Oga with his devil-like smile.

Furuichi looked up and smiled too for a few seconds before going somber again.

"B-but if what the high priestess said was true and this would be the last…" he was cut off by Oga's finger on his lips.

"Eh, you know that Kunieda spews all sorts of crap all year long so don't worry about it! Besides do you think an old geezer like Behemoth can be the cause of my death? Bah, nonsense!"

Furuichi lifted an eyebrow "I don't think King Behemoth can actually lift up his sword. It's his sons I'm more worried about".

Oga held his husband at arm's length and asked "are you questioning my manliness, Takayuki Furuichi? Because I can assure you the prove is in the chamber right next to us in the form of two healthy, powerful young boys in slumber"

Smiling slyly Furuichi said "I wouldn't mind a reminder every now and again actually King Tatsu"

As the silver haired man traced his husband's chest with his index finger Oga leaned forward and caught his lower lip between his own.

After a few nips they start kissing with more passion.

The day will come when 36 pillars will loom upon the kingdom of Ishiyama. The king shall head to battle wielding his mighty sword, carrying the burden of the whole kingdom upon his shoulders and he shall return with victory. A victory smeared in blood. The blood of none but of his own death.

The words of the high priestess kept ringing around in Furuichi's ears and he was sure it was the same to Oga too as he kissed more furiously, whipping his tongue around, tasting every crevice in his mouth. Furuichi did not go down easily.

As they broke the kiss, sharing the air with their foreheads leaning on each other, Furuichi realized that his husband was worried about the battle. Not afraid. Oga was never afraid. Of anything. It was proven when he lead the rescue team few years ago to save him from the clutches of the most terrifying creature to ever walk the earth; the Akubaba.

Furuichi wasn't sure if he had been afraid of the giant creature or the man fighting it bare-handed grinning like a fool. Needless to say a few months later they were happily married. After finding out that he was carrying the Ishiyama Kingdom's heir of course.

Oga thrived in the face of danger. The adrenaline rush was like a drug to him; addictive. Furuichi had managed to learn and accept that part of his life mate the years they had been married.

The king might be known to be a violent and bloodthirsty but when it came to his lover and his children he was anything but. As Furuichi kept teasing him, he is nothing but a giant cuddly teddy bear in the form of a big oaf.

Furuichi was brought back by the words "promise me".

He looked up with confusion clearly in his face.

"Promise me you won't beat yourself up over this if things turn out to be different. You have to be strong for the children and the kingdom" said Oga.

"You're asking me not to cry?"

Oga shook his head "I can't ask of that from you. That's too much. That will be cruelty. I just…I just want you to be strong ok? Just be strong. Like when Akubaba held you hostage. There was never a stronger man than you that I've ever seen"

Furuichi was amused "being held as a hostage is the highest form of bravery?"

Oga laughed "being held prisoner in place of a family of strangers is the highest form of bravery, Taka"

"But that time, I knew you would come for me. That's what made me strong, that made me hold on" said Furuichi hesitantly.

Oga's face scrunched up into a frown "Taka, did you see anything this time? Is that why you're worried this time? Did you see me…?"

Furuichi couldn't trust himself to answer so he shook his head in denial.

As the knights assembled below, the noise level increased.

Oga released Furuichi but took his hand in his own again "I have to leave now, to the battlefield"

Furuichi stood on his tiptoe and chastely kissed Oga.

Oga headed out.

But he hesitated outside the door. He turned and smiling, he said "I'll see you later, Taka-chin"

Furuichi struggled to keep his smile in place and not cry at the loving nickname his husband had called him all those years ago.

"Get home early you Violent Ogre''

They said no other thing as the love filled nicknames said everything they felt; love.

A/n:

Just to be clear:

1) Oga is the King of Ishiyama (a kingdom)

2) Oga and Furuichi are married

3) They have 2 kids: En and Beel

4) Kunieda is the high priestess who predicted the battle against Behemoth will kill Oga.

5) Furuichi has a premonition power although not as strong as the high priestess's. That's why Oga asks him if he 'saw 'anything.

6) Akubaba is a terrifying creature who once held Furuichi prisoner. Oga saved him. They became lovers.

-There's suppose to be more of this where Furuichi did get a vision of the battle and does something because for it. But I decided it might get to long and rambly so I stopped here. Perhaps a companion piece someday. Or a new chapter. What do you think?
