Ladymiku- Wow on chapter two already
Swift (another muse) – Hello everyone, R&R
Aoi's family seemed shocked when they saw their eldest son, on horse back, riding behind who seemed to be a Lord or Prince. "I'm home." He answered as if there was nothing unusual about riding up on the horse of a complete stranger, and that of a high classman no less. "Oh, this is Uruha, he got lost in the woods and I helped him out. I offered for him to stay the night."
Aoi's mother seemed rather pleased now, that her son had remembered him manors in front of the upper-class. "Welcome to our home. It's not very grand, but I hope you will be comefortable." In Aoi's world, the upper-class liked to push around those who worked the land, and the poorer of the familes. It was not uncommon for them to stay at their houses, and act as if they owned the place, and at times they would force familes to give up children, so they could use them as slaves. Needless to say people in Aoi's world weren't very plesent.
"Oh, it's fine. In all truth's if it weren't for Aoi's help back there, I'd still be lost." Uruha replied with a slight bow. He had always been taught to act like a gentlemen whether the people be poor or rich, priests or sinners, angels or demons, they all deserved to be treated equally. "I only hope there is some kindness I can do for you in return."
Aoi's family now seemed a little knocked off guard. "It's no trouble at all." His mother replied, seeming nervous. "Why don't you come in, and I'll get you something to drink, and some food too. Yuu! Go set up the guest room! Aoi, take care of his horse for him."
"Um…Hiroto doesn't like other people brushing him, or removing his tack. So if you would be so kind Aoi, as to show me to the barn I'll do it." Uruha replied looking a bit shocked.
Aoi nodded an led him off to the stables. Once they reached them Uruha finally asked the question that bothered him. "What was that about?"
"Well, you see…the upper-class in our world treats us like dirt. So my mom is worried that if you aren't pleased you'll take one of us as a slave or something." Aoi replied looking a little embarrassed. "Isn't where your from like that? You know, all the rich high class people are snobs, and the lower class are brutally oppressed?"
"No, not at all. Do I seem like a snob to you?" Uruha asked sounding a bit worried at the last bit. "If I am I'll try harder not to be. I mean I don't want you to feel any less than human."
Aoi seemed a bit shocked, Uruha's world seemed so different from his. "No! Not at all, I just guessed you were a normal person. I mean…you seemed to nice to be from the upper-class of my world is all…" His voice trailed off. Uruha burst out laughing, as he began to remove Hiroto's tack (For those who don't know, tack is riding equipment on a horse).
After a few minutes they walked back into the house, still talking. Aoi's mother still seemed to be in shock. "Um…I'll show you to your room…" Aoi replied trailing off as he walked in to see his mom running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. "Uh, mom?"
Uruha peered in and almost burst out laughing at Aoi's expression of confusion. "Can I come in…or should I just stay out here until it's safe." He asked looking at Aoi who had just gotten shoved back out of the kitchen by his mother. He landed against Uruha, with a dull thud, and the two of them fell off the kitchen steps. Uruha was blushing like mad, he had never been in such close proximity to another person who wasn't a member of his family.
Aoi on the other hand, who was blushing just as brightly, felt strangely comfortable so close to the other. He also noticed how Uruha had the faintest scent of strawberries. He wasn't sure what it was but he knew one thing, he liked it. "Um…Sorry about that."
"It's okay, can you get off me now?" Uruha asked still feeling slightly uncomfortable about the whole thing. Aoi nodded climbing off of him, just as his mother walked out. She seemed a little shocked.
"Am I interrupting you two?" She asked still looking nervous at the thought of displeasing him. Aoi rolled his eyes and Uruha began laughing.
"No, no, not at all! Aoi just fell on me when he was thrown out of the kitchen, and I fell off the steps, that's all." Uruha replied, waving his hand, as if to say 'it doesn't matter'. Aoi helped him to his feet, brushing himself off, he added. "Is it safe to go in now?" Aoi nodded and the went in together laughing about what had just happened.
