Attia POV
After coming out of Incarceron, Keiro and I still spent time with each other. I am sitting in my chamber, in the candlelight, thinking about him. Keiro was amazing, cocky, but amazing. Wait, no, I didn't think that. Yes you did. Return of the annoying voice in the back of my head. (A\N Anyone get this, MR?)
Yeah. I've got an annoying voice that I don't like to listen to, but have to. Whenever I mention that to someone, they say that its probably my better reason fighting with my impulses. Whatever that means.
My chamber is right next to Keiro's and sometimes I wish we- no, I am not going to think that. I do not like him like that. We're friends, if I can say that. It's sort of a twisted relationship.
Flashback (earlier today)"I'm going for a ride, Keiro. I don't have time for going to the bar with you and making sure you don't get into a fight."
"Yes you do. Who says you have to go for a ride?"
"My horse is not getting excercised! The Equerry, John, says that I have to!"
"So that's what it's about. You're in love with the Equerry and have to see him."
"No! He's engaged!"
"Well, damn the horse! Come with me to the bar!"
"Go on your own! I don't have time to go with you, just to make all those sluts and whores jealous by dancing with you. I'm not going."
"Dog-slave."
"Just get out so I can get dressed."
"Fine, Onus."
Keiro left me feeling angry and sad.
"Damn it. Now I miss him." I whispered.
End flashback
Unlike Finn and I, Keiro and I ALWAYS fight. Always. It's sort of like sibling fighting, except- well, actually just like that. The longest we have gone without fighting is a week. But that's because he went on a hunting trip with Finn. And immediately when he got back we started arguing about how much I missed him.
Someone knocked on my door. Figuring it was just a maid, "Come in."
I take off my coat.
"Flashing skin?" Keiro's mocking voice.
"Keiro. What do you want?" I turn to him. I've got a weird expression on my face. I'm trying to sound angry, but it's not working because I missed him all afternoon after my ride.
It's like he can read my mind. "Miss me?"
"Have good time at the bar? How drunk are you?" I'm suddenly frightened. If Keiro is drunk, than I'll have to lock him in my room and sit outside for three hours, just like last time.
"I'm not drunk anymore Attia."
I smile and relax. It's hard to be relaxed near Keiro though. I'm always all focused on the fight we're always having, or…him.
His hair, His Lips, His muscles, oh, now I sound like one of those slut barmaids at the town bar.
"Attia? Dog-slave. Listen to me!"
"What?" That came out softer than I meant it to. Why can't I be mad at him?
YOU love him. What? No. NO. I don't.
"I said, are you coming to dinner? Finn wants you there."
Finn. Finn. He wants me there? My mind is mixed up because Keiro's in here. Damn, why does he mess with my mind?
"DO you?" That's the first thing that comes out of my mouth. Damn.
"Whatever. Just make Mr. High and Mighty happy, Onus." But I swear I saw something in his eyes? Surprise or… Happiness? No, Keiro is never happy. But I swear-
Keiro turned around.
"Wait!" I had no idea what I was doing. I wanted his company. But I couldn't say that. I put on my coat and walked up to him.
"Of course I'm going, Keiro."
If he's going to be there, I want to be. I like him way more that I like to admit.
