The sun was exceptionally hot today…

"What should I do?!"Shintaro muttered, running towards the ruins. His mind was confused; his body was feeling hot, his legs were already unstable and were already at its limit, as he passed by mountains, groves, forests and villages.

He was tired, too tired to even take another step but, he continued on despite his tiredness. It reached to the point, of not even taking a break to drink his favorite cola (*u*chan~).

With mixed emotions, he finally arrived at the ruins where the castle stands. Once again, he made his way inside castle, to where the sleeping prince awaits. But, what KIND of trial awaits him.

There the jersey loving guy stood in front of the sleeping prince…

After a second, it happened again. Every time he looks at the prince, his virgin heart started to beat once more. Emotions of uncontrollable desire taking over him, owning and wanti—"No! Shintaro you need to focus, emotions comes last before anything." He warned himself.

First of all, it was impossible for a merchant to be together with a high-ranking person such as a prince, much less since their both men. Secondly, what is the reason he felt so attached to the prince? Third, is he gonna believe and follow his heart?

The answer is none… its hopeless; even though he already decided to help the calm-sleeping prince his screaming emotions always take the hold of him. Until, a strange voice popped into his head. The voice was gentle yet.. It felt like it was filled with regret. Yes… the voice was unmistakably his own.

You already know the answer don`t you?

Ha? What do you mean…I don't know anything!

Being stubborn aren't we? I think I don't need to tell you this twice, but you should hurry up and realize your feelings.

Shut up! I don't know what you're talking about.

Even if you want to say something, there are times when you lose the chance to say it. I'm sure that you`re the one who knows that best. Becau—

No, STOP IT!

The reason why you locked yourself from the world, the reason why you`re blaming yourself and the reason why you`re so filled w—

Please! Enough.

That one death, forg—

No, I don't want to FORGET!

Shintaro, my dear self, please realize your feelings, before it's too late…again!

ARGGGGGGGGGH! I get it, I get it. I understand, that`s why please..Please just leave me alone!

Thank you… I hate seeing myself in ruins. Therefore, please start a new life, not tied up in the past, not restraint in any kind of law, and not blaming yourself for something you didn't do. Live your life to the fullest, because I`m sure that `she ` would have also wished for that.

...

Also, there`s something that I would like you to remember...

There`s still more...?

You can never change the past no matter how hard you try. But, its the reason why you can still change the future.

After that, the voice inside Shintaro`s head disappear...

"Can`t change the past huh...I can`t believe that I was lectured by my own self. But, he`s right…I need to change myself and just think of the things I want to do and…just keep on moving forward, because it won't do me good to keep on clinging in the past. And I`m sure she`s also watching me" Shintaro told himself.

He finally has the answer and reached the conclusion, he lik- no, love the prince. Even though, it was all so wrong and can cause future problems, but Shintaro didn't care anymore. His mind was already set and void in any other matters that doesn't involve the prince. His heart then was calm, maybe because he finally found the answer, but he feel that he can do anything even-

"If I remember it correctly… to lift the curse I need to kiss the prince…." Kiss…an act to put one`s lips together with another, to show affection or appreciation with the one you love. Once Shintaro understood his current position, he panicked and blushed so hard, that his praised-intelligent-brain overheated, rendering his calm demeanor useless (Ha, take that! His proud calm self *p* kukuku~)

The panicking Shintaro was really troubled by this sudden event. He did not know how to kiss. This is one of the main troubles of a virgin NEET such as, himself. Firstly, NEET`s are fragile creatures who doesn`t have any experience on how to deal with other people much less, showing skin ship. Secondly, they mostly base their actions in anime and manga`s since, they don`t know how to deal with other people. Lastly, the special NEET Shintaro, devoted himself to be a virgin up to 30 yrs. old, with the goal of being a wizard and producing cola, since it's hard to buy cola nowadays because of the price rising.

"Am I really gonna do this?...No…don't chicken out! I`ve already come this far. I just need to give this guy a kiss, even though it's my first time…" He then positioned himself, placed his left hand underneath the head of the prince for support and placed his right hand on the prince`s face. While he did so, he examined every part of the prince`s face using his fingers, sliding his fingers gently down the forehead, eyelids, cheeks until, it touched the prince`s soft cherry-looking lips.

Shintaro gathered all of his and courage and went in for the attack. With his face flushed red and his mind wandering around, he placed his nervous lips to the sleeping prince`s and locked them together. He poured all his feelings, burning desires, and passion onto the tender lips of the divine sleeping male.

Shintaro can definitely feel his face and body burning more than ever, but it wasn't displeasing it's more like it felt so warm and pleasant; gentle yet so exciting in its own way, it was the first time Shintaro had experienced something like this. Wanting to feel more of this sweet sensation, Shintaro became more aggressive with his kiss.

…A kiss for what it seemed like an eternity has ended. Shintaro pulled himself away from the sleeping prince waiting for him to open his eyes, which has been closed for several decades. While waiting, Shintaro can feel his face and body still hot from the earlier sensation. "Please work, please work!" he begged.

There.. Slowly, the eyes of the sleeping prince began to open. His crimson eyes, reflected in the room, he took a peek around the room to analyze the situation so far. After examining the room, he noticed the figure beside him. A relieved looking young man was looking at him and said:

"I'm so glad it worked" Shintaro recited. He placed his hand on the awakened prince`s head and gave it a little pat.

Bewildered, the prince asks "…Who are you?..." in a soft gentle voice.

Aw~ Dammit! he`s so cute- wait, get a hold of yourself me! You need to answer his question. Shintaro`s inner self was starting to react. "Ah… um.. I`m not someone suspicious…my name is Shintaro. Kisaragi Shintaro." He explained. Oh well, he tried.

" I..see.. Then, my name is Konoha…"

"Konoha huh? It's nice to meet you!"

"Yeah…Shintaro-kun was it? Hey can I ask you a question?"

"Hmm? Yeah what is it."

"…Were you the one who woke me up?"

"Yeah, you can say that"

"Is that so?..."

*prick* A sudden wave of attack occurred in the head of the white-haired prince, causing him to collapse on his bed. "Ugh..." as he screamed in pain.

"A-are you okay?!" Shintaro asked in panic.

Konoha replied with only a nod while he was still trembling in pain. Shintaro was really worried by this fact, maybe it was because he couldn't take care of his health or maybe it was because he has a serious illness, this made Shintaro`s motion more restless than before. So the raven-haired guy did all he could, to relieve the prince`s pain by stroking his head. After a while, the pain dissipated and the prince was finally calm...or is HE?

Huh? Shintaro thought, as he noticed a smirk on the white-haired prince. But, he shrugged it off by thinking it just may be his imagination playing tricks on him. How can a gentle-looking guy be a psychopathic murderer? He added.

"Um.. by the way… since I properly want to apologize and thank you, can you get a little closer?"

"Yeah…sure" Shintaro leaned forward to get closer to Konoha.

"It was really nice knowing you; though, I wish that I could have talked to you more but unfortunately, we have to say our goodbye`s now…"

"Eh?!"

…*STAB*….

" Hehehe, how stupid. I guess you didn't know the other part of the curse…though…"

Eh? Wai—what do you mean, the other part of the curse? Why are you looking so lonely? Why do you look so disgusted with yourself? Wait! I have a ton of questions I need to—Damn my consciousness… Shintaro wanted to ask all of these, unfortunately he doesn't have any strength left. The raven-haired boy struggled in pain, wanting to keep his consciousness but, it was useless. He already loses his consciousness before he knew it, as he lay down in the puddle of blood.

"I`m sorry… I don't have my own will right now…."

Hahahahahha, beware of cliffhangers. LOL!

Btw, the story is not over yet XD!
