Two days after the Dinner party

Commander John Cena grumbled as he glanced at the palace. There had to be some way to be able to talk to Prince Adam. As he dropped his hands to his sides, his left hand bumped his sword handle and an idea popped into his mind. 'Adam didn't know how to sword fight!'

Commander John spotted King Shawn and walked over to him, bowing his head gracefully as Shawn smiled. "May I help you with anything, Commander?" He asked politely as John grinned at him. "Actually there's something I can do for you." He stated as the King raised an eyebrow in interest.

"Really? And what's that?" he asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"I was hoping to teach Prince Adam how to properly fight as a brother of the blade. You said so yourself Prince Randy is too busy to teach him. Prince Randy is the perfect heir to your thrown, Loyal, strong, brave, and a great swordsman, but Prince Adam is only loyal; he is neither a good swordsman nor a brave fighter. Who better to learn from then your own commander?" John reasoned as King Shawn nodded. "You're right, the weapons' room, and fields are yours all day. Take him to Prince Adam's room" King Shawn murmured to a guard who nodded and bowed before leading Commander John away.

Prince Adam lay on his bed silently staring at the ceiling as he thought about two nights ago when he ran away from Commander Cena. He thought about how sweet John had been to him, trying to comfort him in his time of need.

He honestly liked John, hell he wanted John but who knew what Randy would do to John if he found out. Adam glanced up as a knock sounded at his door. "Come in" He called watching as his door opened to reveal a guard and the man Adam was just thinking about, Commander Cena. Both men walked in, first the guard followed by John himself.

"Prince Adam, your father wants me to teach you how to sword fight." John murmured trying not to smile as Adam's eyes lit up. "Really?" he asked, the excitement clearly showing on his handsome features. "Yes really, come we need to get you in armor" John murmured as Adam eagerly got off the bed and followed them out.

Once Adam was in armor, they looked at the many sword types. "How about this one?" Adam asked holding up one similar to Randy's. "No too big" John laughed as he grabbed medium sized sword, handing it to Adam. "Try that on for size"

"It's perfect" Adam murmured as they walked out onto the empty field. John pulled out his sword. "Adam, defend yourself" He warned before he leaped after him. Prince Adam ran as fast as he could, but John's more muscular physique, his much stronger legs carried him faster than Adam's leanly muscled long ones ever could. Prince Adam was cornered as John raised his sword before lowering it and shook his head.

"Adam sometimes in combat you can't run away. You'll be injured and not know what to do" John murmured softly as he slid his sword back into its holder and leaned over so he was face-to-face with Adam. Commander Cena gazed into the Prince's eyes almost lovely. His gaze lingered on Adam's eyes then down to his lips, back to his eyes, down to his lips and back again.

"John…" Adam whispered, biting his bottom lip, he had a feeling he knew what was coming. John's hand began to slowly caress Adam's cheek as he gently traced his thumb over Adam's lips. Adam let his sword fall to the ground as John leaned fully against him.

John's stray hand wrapped around Adam's waist bringing them closer together and Adam thought he would faint until he felt John's lips cover his in a slow gentle kiss. He felt Adam's arms wrap around his waist as they kissed gently, taking their time to explore each other mouths.

John did something he'd been dying to do and ran his fingers through Adam's baby soft hair. His hands took on a mind of their own as they slid down and across the young Prince's back in circular motions that had Adam moaning into his mouth as he arched his body against that of the Commander's. As John heard someone coming he quickly pulled away to see Prince Randy riding up over the hill with a second horse.

"Commander! They're at the gates! You need to get ready! Come now!" Prince Randy yelled looking worried as John nodded. "I'll be there! Get the men ready!" John ordered grabbing the reigns to his horse as Prince Randy nodded before riding away.

Once Prince Randy was out of site, Prince Adam picked up his sword. "John" he whispered as John glanced at him. "Come Prince, I'll give you a ride back to the palace. Get on" John murmured climbing up on his horse and holding out his hand to Adam who took it climbing on. He wrapped his arms around John's waist and laid his head against his back, closing his eyes, praying for John as they rode back into town.
