Back

"You are back." whispered an ailing brunette who was laid on the bed. "Of course I am." whispered Mikoto as he dropped a kiss on Tatara's head.

Back

Totsuka had spent a lot of time looking at his king's back. No he wasn't protecting it since he was too weak to, Suoh Mikoto was strong enough to protect himself. Totsuka merely hoped one day he to could be that strong so as not be a burden.

Cave

No he wasn't going to cave under pressure. No matter how much Anna or Tatara pleaded and made mournful puppy eyes he the third king, fabled demon of Shizume city, Homra's boss was not under any circumstances going to enter the Disney Princess Collectibles store with them to buy Anna clothes.

Cave

While returning from the cave where he had found a lonely boy looking for his friend's ghost, Tatara stopped in his tracks. Bringing his hands together he took a picture of the group in front of him with his heart. When the king turned in query he found himself smiling and answering "Just for a bit I wanted to press m heart's shutter."

Fawn

"Wait wait... if the king is like a lion then Totsuka san must be a lioness. You know since they are dating." said Yata.

Some of the members of Homra were busy discussing and assigning each member of the red clan with an animal. For example Izumo was a grouchy old bear, Anna was a rabbit etc etc. The king was obviously a lion. While they had no trouble assigning the animals to others when it came to Tatara they were at a fix. Various people had various theories. Izumo was convinced that the guy was a puppy, Yata was sure that the man was a lioness. Basically everybody had their own opinions.

"Tatara is a fawn." announced Anna quietly while sipping her orange juice.

"Why do you say that Anna chan" asked Izumo curiously.

"Because he is like them. " replied Anna as if it explained everything.

The rest agreed with her after all their beloved Anna chan was always right.

Fawn

Mikoto often wondered why Tatara followed him around despite the risks. He also wondered why he even allowed it. He shouldn't let someone so close, the closeness would come back to haunt them. Mikoto also often felt insecure. He felt as if Tatara was only trying to get close to him for the security that would be offered, he felt that Tatara's words were mere fawning over him. Like the kind the thugs did in order to please him.

So one day he corners Tatara and almost demands an answer.

"Ano.. It's because king is so cool!" exclaims Tatara his face filled with true admiration.

Light

Despite Mikoto's thug like characteristics and hot headedness he was unlike what other people thought was quite stealthy. He was light on his feet but only when he felt like it.

He stealthily crept behind the guy who was hitting on Tatara and he was unsurprised & rather amused at the yelp that came from the mans throat when he loomed behind him. As the stranger ran away as fast as he could Mikoto smirked. Sometimes being sneaky was good.

Light

The bright light of the morgue was cold and unfeeling. Each step into the room tore at Izumo's heart. He was jerked away from his thoughts when the coroner spoke to him. "Is this Totsuka Tatara." The only response the other male got was Izumo nodding. The man gave him a sympathetic smile before handing him some papers for signing.

Izumo sighed and signed the papers before leaving quickly. Outside he took a breath of fresh air before thinking whimsically 'It's just a matter of time before I have to come back here.'

Sink

Picking up the dirty dishes from the Totsuka slowly washed them. The mundane and repetitively chore kept him from worrying about Mikoto. The red king and the rest of the red clan had gone to carry out a raid.

Tatara was soon absorbed in his task. When Mikoto suddenly hugged him from behind he jumped in surprise before smiling.

"Welcome back, king"

"I'm home"

Sink

The water was cold and Mikoto flailed trying to stay afloat. The slender arms wrapping around his torso was both a blessing and an embarrassment. After all what would people say if they knew that the Red king couldn't even swim and had to be rescued from sinking by his lover.
