Summary: Soma worries Agni will "leave" him…
888
Soma was sitting in the townhouse's front parlor window, watching the world go by outside. "Agni…?" It was a few days after Sebastian's "memorial service" and it dredged up all the feelings of sadness and remorse he had concerning Meena.
Agni, who had been busy tidying up the room while his beloved prince amused himself by observing the traffic on the street, walked over to him. He also peered out the window. "What is it, my prince?"
"You'll stay with me until the very end, no?" Soma briefly looked over his shoulder at his beloved khansama. He returned his attention to his view of the street.
"Of course I will, my prince." Agni smiled. "May I ask what brought this up?" He put his hand on Soma's shoulder, keeping their contact as innocent as possible to avoid any gossip. He gazed at their reflections, catching Soma's eye.
The prince smiled back, although it was tinged with sadness. "I sometimes worry you'll just… leave."
"My prince, barring any unforeseen accidents, I will do my best to remain by your side for as long as you'll have me there. I also promise to do my best to outlive you by an hour," Agni said his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Agni!' Soma's smile, now genuine, broadened. "May I ask why an hour?"
"That is all I need to make sure we will have a proper Hindu funeral, before I join you."
"Really?"
Agni nodded. "It will be my final duty as your khansama. Besides, any longer than that and I would miss you terribly."
"I would miss you so much; I would haunt you until you joined me."
"And then we would be reborn together."
"Exactly!" Soma frowned. "Do you think that'll happen, Agni?"
"I like to believe so, my prince."
"Me too!"
