Ending of a King's Reign

Chapter 3: Sweet Treats

"Hey Green! Welcome to Simisear's bakery! What can I get for you this morning?" the baker cooed out, extending his one hand out in front of him and bowing ever so elegantly. Green grinned as he walked through the aisles, unsure of what to get. He had made it a habit to come every morning to pick something up for breakfast. It wasn't like it was a waste of time – sometimes the baker would give him "free samples" that would consist of copious amounts of delectable cherry glaze rolls.

He also allowed the baker to know his name; of course it wasn't like he wanted to tell the baker his name – the baker kept pestering him until finally Green gave in and told the man his name.

Green scanned the shelves a few more times picking up a bag of flour, a bag of chocolate chips and other various things. Green had been out of jail for about two weeks and he soon realized what Red's diet consisted of – cup of noodle for breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus mints for desert – you know for minty-fresh breath. Green was appalled at the state of the man, his diet especially, and decided to 'straighten him out'.

Green shuffled on up to the counter, placed his items down gently and waited impatiently. He wanted to get home and start on his secret surprise for Red. Red was known for having a sweet tooth and what better way to surprise him with home-made cookies. Of course it wasn't like Green had too, he wanted to as a way to say 'thanks'.

Green recently found out the Red was taking care of everything of his while he was away in jail.

Red watched over his house so excessively to the point where he decided to just move in. Green found it a bit creepy, but understood it wasn't meant to be found as creepy and appreciated the action. Red could have just let Green's house rot away, be broken into by thugs, and defiled by unruly kids. Instead, he made sure the house stayed in perfect condition – heck he even watered the small plan he had plopped down in his living room.

Green, caught up in his thoughts, had a mini heart attack when the baker clapped his hands together in front of his face. He grabbed his chest and blinked his eyes furiously. The baker roared with laughter, banging his hand of the counter at Green's reaction.

"T-The hell are you trying to do, kill me?!"

"Just trying to get your attention Green! You were zoning out for a good five minutes," The baker chuckled out, waving Green's pissed expression off. Green narrowed his gaze at the baker, and pushed his items closer. The baker started ringing the items up, and when it came time to pay for them, Green paused for a moment. He rustled his pockets a few more times and instantly started panicking.

His wallet was missing.

Slamming his fist off the counter, he swiveled on his heels and bolted out the front door, shouting out curses. The baker stood there confused by Green's actions. He scratched the back of his head, looked down at the items and sighed. Green acted like paying was an issue. The baker bagged the items, sat the bag down behind the counter and decided to wait for Green to return – hopefully.

Green marched down the street, mentally slapping himself. He never forgot his wallet! That held all of his information – information that could make him a dead man. His ID obviously would have his name and if someone were to enter the house and steal his wallet … he'd have to leave town and move somewhere else.

Once he was in front of the house, he bolted on in and upstairs to the bedroom. He swung the door open, noticing someone was still in the bed. He felt his eyebrow twitch. It was nine O'clock in the morning and the bum still wasn't up?! Red went to bed at eight last night claiming he was 'really tired' from work. Green could understand going to bed early, but sleeping in till nine?! How much sleep did Red need?

Ignoring the sleeping bum, he tip-toed on over to the dresser and scanned the top of it. He moved around a few items, feeling his heart beat faster by the second. After searching a few times he felt his stomach churn.

His wallet was gone.

He felt himself fall back onto his butt, stirring the sleeping man. The raven-haired boy sprang up from the bed, quickly glancing all around. Once he saw Green his eyes narrowed until he noticed Green's horrid facial expression. He slid out of the bed, shuffled on over and plopped down next to him.

Red placed his hand gently on Green's back, patting his back softly. Green glanced over unable to speak. He was a dead man without his wallet. After a few minutes of the silence and Red gently rubbing his back, Green accepted the reality and told Red.

"…What should we do?" Red asked, still groggy from being woken up. Green shrugged his shoulders trying to think of what he was doing beforehand. He woke up at five-thirty this morning, got ready to leave for this morning, and left. He arrived at the bakery by six-fifteen and stormed out in a panic about five minutes later or so.

"Maybe you dropped it while walking…"

"Don't say that Red! I probably misplaced it in the house!" Green shouted as he turned his head over, coming face to face with Red. He glared menacingly at Red and his stupid thought. He wasn't a vagabond; walking around carelessly just dropping his stuff anywhere.

(POV Change: Red)

Red's eyes shone with surprise at Green's rash movement. His heart fluttered a bit as Green moved closer to his face. He felt uncomfortable at the sudden closeness and scooted over, away from Green. Green narrowed his gaze even more, shoved Red and stormed out of the room, shouting profanities and calling Red a moron. Red yawned at Green's insults, scratched the back of his head, and fell back on to the floor.

Man, was he ever tired.

He had so much to do yesterday at work! File these papers, go to this meeting, go to that stupid weekly team work thing – just a shit ton of stuff to do with almost no breaks in between. He couldn't stand not having his usual fifteen minute break for every two hours – it was pure torture to him. He use to just relax, drink a coffee and watch one or two YouTube videos on something stupid. Now that Green was out of jail, he felt like he needed to spend his break on Green.

He'd call the man as soon as his break would start, talking to Green about his day and asking Green about his. When he first started this, Green would ignore his calls and if the rare chance he did pick up, He's shout 'Get back to work!" and hang up. After about a week, Green finally caved in and started talking to Red during his breaks.

This made Red really happy – actually it made him feel as if he was on cloud nine.

Just hearing Green's voice reassured him that he was back and this wasn't a prolonged dream. Red couldn't stand to think of losing Green again so when he started snooping around for a job, Red felt himself get angry. Green was being audacious! He just got out of jail for a horrible crime and was already looking for a job?

He would be found out in a week.

Since Green was trying to keep on the down low, Red suggested he not get a job because they would of course do a background check and that wouldn't settle well with anyone. After much convincing and persuading, Green finally gave in to Red's voice filling his head with 'Getting a job is a bad idea' bullshit.

"Green, I'm serious, you shouldn't be looking for a job. You'll get found out and then what are you gonna do?" Red shouted out, with his one hand resting on his hip and the other resting by his side. Green was sitting on the couch grumbling to himself.

"If you have something to say, say it louder Green."

"…I'm not a Matador, I don't need your bull," Green hissed as he folded his arms, glaring menacingly at Red. Red chuckled at Green's comment, getting the glare's deadly waves even more. Red plopped on down next to Green, and noticed how he was shorter by a few inches. Green huffed and turned away from Red.

Red started talking to Green again, trying to convince him not to get a job only to receive the cold shoulder. When he lightly grabbed Green's shoulder, Green turned, smacked his hand off and glared.

"H-How evil…"

"I'll get a job if I want too. You're not my parent Red, and you're definitely not going to control what I do. I've been locked up for the last five years unable to decide anything; I want some type of freedom God damnit!"

"I'm just looking out for you Green! I don't wanna see you get sent away again like last time… T-That was painful to watch…" Red shouted, trailing off at the end. He felt his heartbeat fast; sweat pouring from his pores, and tears well up in his eyes.

He was terrified by the idea of losing Green – why couldn't Green understand this?

Green reached over and pulled Red into a gentle embrace, shushing him. Red, feeling better glanced up at Green's face. His eyes were calm and placid, like a untouched lake. He had a light warm smile adorned on his lips and was currently patting Red's raven hair. Red felt himself loosen up and allowed himself to lean on Green.

"…Fine. I won't get a job – not yet at least. I'll promise you I'll wait a few months but nothing more! I can't be home bound forever."

"I'd rather you be at home everyday though… you could greet me with a hug and a big ol' ki-"

"Shut your mouth Red!" Green shouted out, throwing Red off to the side. Red busted out in laughter. Oh how fun it was to make Green freak out like that. He knew Green was uncomfortable with romance in general so poking fun at that made it even better.

Green stormed off upstairs, shouting and scoffing at Red. Red just sat there smiling at the nostalgic

"Red! I found my wallet! It was in my bag hidden in my one book! God, I was so terrified I had lost it…" Green shouted up the stairs, trailing off at the end. Red snapped back to reality and sighed in relief. At least they wouldn't have to go wallet hunting today.

(POV Change: Green)

After tearing the house apart looking for his damn cursed wallet, Green felt his mouth drop in awe as found it hidden in his one notebook. He snatched it up, throwing it into his back pocket. He shouted up to Red, claiming he found his wallet. A few seconds later, he saw Red adorned in his usual outfit, shuffling down the stairs.

"It's about damn time you woke up," Green said curtly, making it known he was irritated with the boy's lethargic ways. Red shrugged his shoulders at Green, and made his way into the kitchen getting ready to 'feast' on a cup of noodles – unhealthy yet so refined; what more could you want?

Green cringed at Red before stopping him from snatching the cup of noodles from Red's hands.

"What do you think you're doing?! I'm super hungry Green!"

"…Lets go out and eat breakfast together. It'll be nicer, and heck even healthier!" Green said, throwing the cup of noodles ungracefully back into the cabinet. Red moaned as he shuffled on over to the door, shocking Green at how obedient he was being.

"What? No counter-argument or anything?" Green asked, putting on his coat and throwing a familiar white scarf around his neck. Red sighed, waving Green off.

"I'm too tired to fight, I'm really hungry and you're paying."

"I figured as much," Green mumbled out as they both made their way to the center. While walking around the streets, they casually talked, laughing and reminiscing about the past. Out of the corner of Green's vision, he noticed Simisear's bakery. He wanted to show Red this place so Red could know where the 'heavenly goods' came from.

"Hey, you know those cherry-glazed rolls I bring home?"

"Yeah, what about them?"

"I get them from over there," Green said, pointing over to Simisear's bakery. Red looked at the place, inspecting it while Green started walking ahead. He didn't want to go in with Red – the baker would definitely cause a scene.

"Anyways, Red –"

"Ah! Welcome to Simisear's Bakery! How are you today sir?" Green heard a familiar voice shout out. Frozen to the spot, Green slowly turned his head and saw Red was in fact the 'sir' the baker had greeted. Horrified, his eyes now wide, he watched as Red eagerly walked around the inside of the bakery.

A few seconds later Red bolted out the door, grabbed Green's hand and ran back towards the Bakery. Green, struggling against Red's grip, worked furiously to move away from the bakery. There was no way he would be seen with Red in the bakery – he wouldn't be able to shop here again.

The baker a few days ago learned that the 'lovely lady' Green was shopping for was actually a guy. Green was walking around the aisles talking to Red on the phone when the baker over heard.

"Red, shut up! I'm just getting breakfast! Why don't you go to your job you effeminate fairy! I'm not out breaking the law or anything, Geeze… NO! I'm not going back on your demands God damnit. I'm a grown man just like you; I can handle myself – much better than you can handle yourself … Oh come on, I'm kidding! Yeah, yeah, see you at home Red. Bye," Green said talking on the phone. He hung up, looked at his cell phone and sighed.

Red treated him like he was a little kid. He pocketed his cell phone, turned around only to receive an awkward glance from the baker. Raising an eyebrow, he walked up to the counter, leaning over towards the baker.

"Something wrong today?"

"Well… this certainly is an interesting development."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm extremely sorry Green, I didn't know your lovely lady was actually an 'effeminate fairy'. Don't worry, I'm not grossed out or anything, but I can't wait to meet him one of these days! What was his name again, Red?" The baker blurred out, only to have his mouth covered by Green – but as if that would actually stop the man from talking.

"What! T-That's absurd! I'm not dating him –"

"Don't be coy now Greeny-boy, I'll support you two in any way I can!" The baker said with happiness oozing from his smile. Green sighed and felt his head hang in embarrassment.

There's no way he would date Red.

"Oh, welcome back! You sure did frighten me by running out so fa-" The baker said cutting himself off at the end of his sentence upon seeing Green. Green froze up while Red looked back and forth between the two.

"Something wrong Green? If not, I'd appreciate it if you'd buy me my breakfast! I'm so hungry…" Red said, grabbing Green's hand again and dragging in the man half-frozen in shock. Green observed the bakers face turn from shock to utter amusement.

Red dragged Green all around the small bakery making sure to touch everything and smell everything as well. Green, being in there so many times, wasn't really impressed like Red was. Red currently had his face planted against one of the little glass planes, eyeing up the donuts. Chuckling, Green patted Red on the head.

"Anything you want, I'll buy."

"Buy all of the donuts. All of them," Red stressed as he motioned his hands in a fancy manner all around the plane, as if the donuts were worth millions. Green glared at Red , turned Red to face him and pinched his cheeks.

"Tsk! Why did you do that?! That hurts Green!"

"I'll buy you a few not all of them.

"Whaat, you sure are lame.

"Excuse me for being so poor. Here, I'll go sell my soul so you may feast on these here donuts," Green sarcastically said, laughing at the end. Red huffed and selected a few donuts he wanted. After Red full-heartifly made his decisions on which donuts to get, they moved on to the counter.

"Hello there Green! It's nice to see you again. Did you find your wallet?"

"Y-Yeah, It was hidden in one of my notebooks in my one bag."

"Oh well that'd good! Here, I bagged your good and consider it on the house," the baker cooed out, gently placing the bag of items onto the counter. Green fussed as he pulled out his wallet only to be denied by the baker.

"How are you doing to afford his donuts if you pay for this? Oh my, I'd hate to see him go without … he might waste away into nothing!" The baker called out dramatically, grabbing ahold of Red's hand.

"I'll pray for you tonight … maybe then you'll be fed a decent meal at the hands of this cruel, uncaring man."

"Yeah, I hope so too," Red shouted out, playing along with the Baker's dramatic scene. Green face-palmed as he set the money out on the counter, paid for the donuts and walked out holding Red's hand – it was a precaution so he and the baker couldn't sit there and scheme up things.

The baker waved bye to them as they made their way down the street back to their house. Once home, Red rushed to the table and devoured all of the donuts. After he ate, he plopped down on the couch for a nap at ten-thirty in the morning.

"My God you sleep a lot Red!"

"…"

"You're already asleep?!" Green asked, dumbfounded at how fast he went to sleep. Sighing, he pulled out the ingredients for the cookies, unsure of what to do. He grabbed a dust-covered cook book, cracked it open to the page that dealt with chocolate chip cookies and began the ardous task.

It only took him about an hour or so to finally get his first batch done – and they tasted horrible. Whatever he did, he did it so poorly that he, being so egotistical, couldn't find an excuse to use for this fuck up. He pitched the cookies into the trash can and tried again.

After about two hours, he finally did it. He made a batch of cookies that smelt, looked, and tasted heavenly. He carefully placed them on a nice dish, and marveled at himself. There wasn't anything he couldn't do.

"… Smells delicious."

"Oh, you're finally awake! Oh and I made these all by myself – pretty impressive right? I mean, it's not like anyone can cook cookies like I c-"

"Blergh!"

"What!" Green shouted out as Red grimaced at the foul taste of the cookies. Red spit out a small piece of the cookie, and glared over at Green.

"… You put too much baking soda in. It made them way too bitter."

"T-They tasted fine to me!"

"Like I said, 'too bitter'"

"Oh shut up, you think you're so funny don't y-"

"But thanks, I appreciate it Green," Red said smiling at Green. Green felt himself freeze as Green grabbed another cookie, bit into it and gagged again. He glanced up at Green real quick with another cookie in his mouth. Green couldn't stop his face from turning a bright pink.

"There is bound to be a good cookie in this batch."

"Maybe…" Green said, as he too started biting the cookies finally realizing that yes, he did put too much baking powder in – and yes it did taste like shit. The searched through gagging their way through the whole batch until there was only cookie left. Since Red was still gagging from the last one, Green picked it up and took a small bite – and didn't gag.

"Hey! This one doesn't taste bad at all!" Green mumbled out with the cookie sticking halfway out of his mouth. He went to take it out to let Red try it until Red suddenly appeared right in front of him,. Red, standing on his tippy-toes, bit off a piece of the cookie that was still in Green's mouth.

Green felt himself freeze and blush madly. Their lips had touched for a brief second.
