Chapter 7: Love

'Oh my god, Garland!'came Kai's shocked reaction as he knelt down besides his friend, Brooklyn quickly joined him as Claude kept everyone else away from the marchioness.

Brooklyn took out a little vial en held it under Garland's nose. The marchioness scrunched his nose a bit in disgust before his eyes opened again and he groaned.

'Garland, are you alright?'Kai asked as he helped his friend sit upright.

Garland held a hand to his head and shook it gently. 'I thought I saw Brooklyn,' he whispered. A chuckle from his right made the marchioness look up again into the wise emerald eyes of his supposed 'dead' friend.

'Well, you did see me.'Brooklyn chuckled as he put away the small vial again en looked at Garland.

Garland opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out and he stood there gaping at Brooklyn that is until he finally regained his senses and tackled the orange haired mena. 'Oh my god, you're alive, you're safe.'Garland shouted happily and looked his friend over a bit. 'And you put on some weight.'he added, raising an eyebrow.

Brooklyn glared at his friend, before he pushed him off and stood up dusting himself off. He then looked at Garland who grinned at him sheepishly. Brooklyn puffed out his cheeks and crossed his arms. 'It's been four years since you've seen me and the first thing out of your mouth is that I gained some weight? 'Brooklyn said not believing his ears.

Garland scratched the back of his head and laughed sheepishly.

'Urgh, you are unbelievable!'Brooklyn said.

Kai had to chuckle a little. 'Well, that is Garland for you.'he said looking at them with amused eyes.

Suddenly someone cleared their throat which made the three friends realise they were not alone in the room and when they turned around they were met with the amused faces of Miguel, Claude, Bryan and Tala.

Claude clapped his hands together, an amused smile on his face. 'Well it seems you three have a quite a few things to talk about. Why don't you sit down and I'll arrange for some tea and biscuits, I'm sure Oliver won't mind making some.'the headmaid said.

'Oh no, you really don't have to!'Garland said, feeling a bit embarrassed about the way he had acted earlier.

'Oh, I don't mind. It'll give me something to do, now gentlemen if you'll excuse me.'Claude excused himself and walked out of the sitting room, closing the doors behind them.

'Tala, Bryan, you two are free to go. 'Miguel said to his two friends and they nodded.

When Bryan walked past Garland however, he smirked and winked at the marchioness, who flushed red in anger and gritted his teeth rather loudly watching the knight leave the room.

Brooklyn and Kai gave each other confused looks, Miguel however shook his head smiling a little.

Boy was the marchioness in for the stay of his life!

'So, now that is settled, shall we?'Miguel asked charmingly, pointing towards a few very comfy and cushioned sofas and a little brown coffee table.

Once they were seated, Claude came with a tray full of freshly baked chocolate chipped biscuits, that were still letting off a bit of smoke, a tea pot and of course tea cups.

'There you go, enjoy. Oh and Miguel paperwork.'the headmaid said giving the blonde a stern look.

Miguel grinned sheepishly. 'Alright, I'll get to it now.'he said and stood up.

Claude nodded content with Miguel's answer and left again.

Miguel bend down and kissed Kai softly right in front of Brooklyn and Garland! 'I will see you later.'he said softly and Kai could only nod and watch him leave.

Just before he closed the door Miguel smiled at him once more and then he was gone.

Kai sighed happily with a soft smile on his face.

Garland stood there gaping at his friend, who looked so happy and was practically glowing with happiness.

Brooklyn on the other hand looked both happy for Kai as well as sad. He knew somehow, someday that happy look would disappear. And that scared Brooklyn.

Kai looked back at his friend to see them both looking at him, Garland was gaping at him, open mouth and all and Brooklyn smiled at him knowingly. Kai blushed a cherry red. 'What?' he asked softly.

'You …'Garland began looking at the closed door. 'You really like him, don't you?' It wasn't so much a question as it was a statement but Kai nodded anyway.

'Yes, I like him … actually…'Kai said smiling as he gently touched the rim of his tea cup, caressing it gently. 'You might even say I'm in love with him.'he admitted for the first time out loud.

Brooklyn dropped his tea cup in shock and Garland stood up giving Kai an unbelieving look.

'You what!!!'he shouted shocked beyond hell.

Kai winced at the volume of Garland's voice and put a hand over his mouth quickly, hoping nobody would start barging in.

Garland was glaring at Kai while trying to talk beneath Kai's hand.

Kai looked confused and lifted his hand from Garland's mouth. 'I'm sorry, what?'he asked.

'I said, are you out of your mind?'Garland whispered harshly.

Kai crossed his arms annoyed. Why was Garland acting like this? He was the one that had always said he should find someone he loves and now that he did, he was freaking out?

Meanwhile, Brooklyn locked the doors so nobody could disturb them during their conversation, this was serious and very private after all.

'Kai, you are engaged to Tyson and if he finds out you are with Miguel, you'll be stoned!'Garland whispered.

Brooklyn nodded in agreement. 'Not to mention what Voltaire will do to you if he gets his hands on you first. Kai, he will skin you alive!'the orange haired mena said, his eyes full of worry.

Kai bit his lip and looked away from his two friends before he sighed softly. 'I know what can happen if Voltaire finds me.'he said and looked at his friends, his eyes showing the fear he felt for Voltaire but also the love he felt for Miguel. 'But I love Miguel. He is the one thing I have always wanted in my life. An honourable and generous man who loves me for me. Not my title, not my power, not my money but just … me.' Kai sighed once more and the happy look from earlier turned into a sad one.

Garland shook his head and put his hands on his hips. 'Kai, you are playing a very dangerous game. But if you are happy … so am I.' the marchioness said and smiled gently to his friend who smiled back gratefully.

Both menas then looked to Brooklyn who had a finger on his chin and looked thoughtfully before he blew out a frustrated breath. 'Well I guess, there is nothing more to be said.'he said and looked at his friends. 'Kai you know what I said when we first met again and I still stand by that but … even I can see how much Miguel adores you, and how he looks at you every time he sees you.'Brooklyn said.

'So ….'Garland began. 'You approve?'

Brooklyn smiled. 'Yes.'

Garland whooped and Kai hugged his friend in gratitude. 'Thank you.'

Brooklyn just nodded. 'But Kai you have to promise me that you will tell Miguel the truth, I do not care how. But you need to do it.'the orange haired herbalist said sternly.

Kai nodded. 'Do not worry, I will. I promise.'

Great, now how about those biscuits?'Garland said grinning as he clapped his hands together.

'I am telling you, he wants me!'Bryan said convinced he was right as he took a gulp from his ale.

Next to him, his redheaded friend shook his head chuckling. 'Forget it, Bry, he's a marchioness and he is way out of your league. Not to mention he dislikes you.'Tala said grinning wolfishly.

Bryan huffed and took another large gulp from his ale again. 'That's just a cover-up for his feelings for me. He likes me, I just know it, he had this look in his eyes that told me so.'the silver haired knight said.

Tala clapped him on the back a few times in a friendly way and shook his head. 'Keep on dreaming, my friend. Menas like him don't look twice at knights like us.'the redhead said.

'Who wouldn't look twice at you?'asked a voice behind the two.

'Spencer!'Bryan's happy voice shouted.

The blonde raised an eyebrow at the obviously, tipsy knight and looked towards the redhead. 'So who is it?'he asked.

Tala shook his head and opened his mouth but Bryan answered for him.

'The most gorgeous and feisty marchioness I have ever seen in my life.'Bryan said with a goofy dreamy smile on his face.

'Oh boy.'Tala groaned as he put a hand over his face.

Spencer quirked an eyebrow at his friend. 'A marchioness, huh? Does this gorgeous marchioness have a name?'the blonde.

This time Tala answered him. 'Yes, his name is Garland Siebald, he is from Archandir and quite the fighter if I say so myself.'the redhead took a sip from his own ale while Bryan ordered his seventh ale.

Julia gave him a disapproving look but gave him another ale anyway. The two knights were daily customers and they alone could probably keep her business going with the way they drank after duty. They didn't get drunk tipsy, yes but Julia had never seen them truly drunk. Well she might see one of them drunk if Bryan kept going at the pace he was.

'Truly.' Spencer said intrigued.

Tala nodded. 'Yeah, when he took him to the mansion he almost escaped twice and kicked Bryan in the face three times. He's a real wildcat.'the redhead snickered.

'And he's gorgeous as hell and he likes me!'Bryan said in a singsong tone.

Spencer rolled his eyes and shook his head. 'Alright, that's enough.' He grabbed his two friends by the shoulders and dragged them outside of Julia's tavern and held both their faces down in two water barrels that stood just outside of Julia's tavern. 'Alright, that should sober you both up.'the blonde said casually as he let go of their heads.

Both knights came up coughing and spluttering out water, their heads and hair completely wet. With his hair down, Tala looked like a drowned rat and Bryan didn't look much better. 'Spencer, what the hell?'Tala shouted, his voice a few notes higher than normal.

'Well someone had to make sure you two got sober again.'Spencer said as if it was the most normal thing in the world to dunk your friends heads into ice cold water.

'But why?' Bryan whined, seems like he was still a bit tipsy.

'Because Claude was looking for you Tala. And Bryan you just needed a good head dunk.'the blonde said smirking. Whoever said a doctor couldn't be mischievous?

'Fine, c'mon Bryan let's go.'Tala said grabbing his friend by the shoulder and dragging him towards the mansion.

'Wha? Why do I need to come too? Claude's your wife!'Bryan said.

'Yes, but think like this if you come, you will probably see marchioness Garland.'the redhead said slyly.

The words had barely left Tala's mouth and Bryan sprinted towards the mansion. 'Well what are we waiting for? Move wolf boy!'Bryan shouted towards the redhead.

'Oi! Don't call that!'Tala shouted indignantly.

Spencer chuckled at their antics and shook his head. 'Those two.' He said softly.

--

'Kai?'came Miguel's questioning voice.

Kai turned around and smiled at blonde as he closed Kai's bedroom door and walked over to the mena. Kai was sitting on the window sill and looking outside where Brooklyn was showing Garland around the property. He had wanted to be alone for a while.

'Hey.'Miguel said as he kissed Kai softly. 'What are you doing here? I saw Brooklyn and the marchioness going outside.'the blonde said softly, sitting behind Kai and wrapping his arms around the lithe mena.

Kai leaned back into his embrace with his head on Miguel's shoulder. 'I just needed to be alone for a minute.'he explained.

Miguel hummed in understanding. He started caressing Kai's arms, running his hands up and down gently while littering Kai's neck with butterfly kisses causing delightful chills to go down Kai's back and the mena bit his lip and closed his eyes in pleasure.

'Stop.'Kai whispered as Miguel's butterfly kisses turned to pleasurable nips and gently sucking.

'Why? Miguel asked huskily, his hot breath tracing over Kai's sensitive skin.

Kai moaned softly. 'Because we shouldn't do this … not yet.'he said.

Behind him Miguel nodded, though Kai didn't see it but he did feel the light kiss on his shoulder before Miguel made him look at him and kissed him gently.

'I love you.'the blonde said and Kai knew it to be true.

Kai smiled and put his forehead against Miguel's and said: 'I love you too.'
