Masato stayed in his bedroom for several days, just studying. He received nightly visits from the disguised Chiyu, whose wrist seemed to be healing rather well. Even though he tried not to put pieces together in any ways that would lead him to believe that the count's son was his masked man, he couldn't help it. There were facts that he couldn't ignore. Chiyu's wrist had been sprained the same day as the masked man, the same wrist. A worker who brought Masato's meals mentioned that Chiyu had been seen in the costume shop. Also, there just had to be a reason why Chiyu always refused to speak to Masato or even get close to him.

"I just thought Lord Chiyu didn't like me." Masato spoke quietly to himself. Yawning, he realized that it was getting quite late. He had been reading all day, trying to get all of his studies done quickly."Maybe he just doesn't want me to recognize him." Standing up from his chair, Masato stretched, feeling achy from sitting there for so long."Anyway, whether he really is Lord Chiyu or not, I want to enjoy his company. I should just stop thinking about it." To clear his mind, the prince took a hot, relaxing bubble bath. He had no idea how long he was in the tub. After a rather long while, he heard some tapping in his room. 'He's here!' Quickly getting out of the tub, Masato dried himself off and put a towel around his waist. When he exited the bathroom, he smiled when he saw his masked man right outside the window."I thought you sprained your wrist the last time you climbed the vines." he said with a perked eyebrow as he approached the window.

The masked Chiyu gave a small nod."That is true. However, I thought I should give it another try."

Masato leaned down to the other and softly kissed his lips. They were becoming so much more intimate with other. Maybe Masato's unknown wild side was being discovered."So, would you like to come in?" he asked with a cute smile.

"Actually, I want to take you somewhere tonight." Chiyu had a place in mind. It wasn't super romantic, but it was a place he liked."Will you come with me?"

"I'm naked." the prince stated then watched the others gaze travel down to his towel."Just let me get dressed first." When he started to turn away, his hand was gently grabbed.

Chiyu smirked, feeling playful. Just as Masato faced him again, he released the prince's hand and snatched away his towel."You can come like this. It will be just the two of us."

Masato quickly covered his crotch with both hands."I can't just walk out of here naked. Give that back."

"Come and get it." Chiyu climbed down the vines and peered up at Masato's window."Jump down. I'll catch you."

Being in a good mood and feeling adventurous, Masato got up onto the windowsill, his legs dangling down."Are you sure?" He wasn't exactly comfortable with heights."You'll catch me?"

Chiyu held his arms up, ready to catch the other."Yes. Trust me." He smiled to put Masato at ease."I would never tell you to do something that would hurt you."

After waiting just a couple seconds, Masato jumped down from the window, right into the other man's arms. Having not landed entirely correct, they both fell down to the ground, Masato ending up on top of Chiyu."You okay?"

Chiyu lightly laughed and pulled Masato into a loving kiss."Of course. I have a very cute, naked prince on top of me."

"Give me my towel." Masato demanded, knowing that he was blushing.

Chiyu moved the towel over Masato, covering his butt."Alright, Prince Masato. Let's get going."

"Just call me by my name." Masato got off of the man and fixed the towel around his waist, making sure it was tight enough and wouldn't fall off."You don't need to call me 'Prince.'"

"Alright then, Masato." Chiyu climbed to his feet then gently took Masato's hand into his own."I know a hidden path. No one will see us."

Masato laced his fingers with Chiyu's."Good. It would be very bad for me to be seen like this."

Leading Masato away from the palace, Chiyu almost felt unsure about this. He felt like someone might be watching them. He could just be paranoid, but this feeling worried him."It is not too far from the palace, but it is deserted."

"Why do you always talk like that?" Masato wondered. He'd been wondering this since the first time he'd heard the other speak.

"This is how I was taught to speak." Chiyu knew that he sometimes sounded odd, but his father was so strict. He wanted to speak normally, but he'd never had the guts to stand up to his father.

"Oh, okay." Masato allowed himself to be led down a dark path that was hidden by many large trees."Where are we going?" He was very curious.

Chiyu didn't answer. He just simply guided Masato along until they came to a small pond."I came here often when I was a child." he stated with a soft smile."It is not much, but I am really fond of this place."

"You're right. It's not much." Masato let go of Chiyu's hand and stepped over to the edge of the pond."But this is a nice place. I like it."

"There is an old shack here as well." Chiyu motioned toward said shack."How would you like to stay here with me tonight?"

Masato hurried back to his mysterious man and threw his arms around him."I would love to." He crashed their lips together, and they began to make out rather wantingly. The prince kept part of his attention on the others hands, both of which started to slide over his exposed flesh. So, he parted their lips."You're trying to get lucky tonight, aren't you?"

Chiyu chuckled."Yes, I am. Is it going to happen?" Not even waiting for an answer, he leaned down just a bit and planted tender kisses on Masato's neck.

"Definitely." Masato just couldn't deny that he wanted the other. They began to make out again. While kissing so deeply, Masato felt himself get picked up. He was carried into the old, empty shack and carefully laid on the floor."This floor is..quite dusty." he commented.

"Ignore the dust." Chiyu didn't want anything to get in the way of this. He'd been thinking about Masato constantly lately. He couldn't get the other out of his head. Removing the young prince's towel, he slid his gaze over the other male's fully exposed body.

Lifting a hand, Masato placed it against Chiyu's chest."Please be gentle." This was going to be his first time. Being a pampered prince, he'd never previously had the opportunity to fall in love or do anything like this.

"I will. I promise." Slipping his hands around to the backs of Masato's knees, the prince's rival lifted his legs a bit to expose his hole. Then, he put two fingers into his mouth momentarily to coat them with saliva before putting them at the entrance to the others insides."Try not to tense." he told him before pushing a finger into his hole. He wiggled that finger around for about a minute then added the second finger. He began a scissor-like movement to stretch Masato.

Masato couldn't stop blushing. This felt a little uncomfortable and weird, but he really wanted it."Do you think..that's enough..?" He almost couldn't believe that this was actually happening.

After scissoring for a little longer, Chiyu nodded."Yes. That should be enough." He unzipped his pants and pushed them down only enough to free his erection. He was very hard from the anticipation of having sex with Masato. Positioning himself between Masato's legs, he pushed the tip of his shaft into the prince's hole, waiting a few seconds before slowly sliding in the rest of the way.

"How come..you get to..see my body..but I..can't see yours..?" Masato found it difficult to speak while trying so hard to keep his body from tensing at the feel of the other male's shaft entering him.

"For the same reason as why I cannot tell you my name." Once he was fully inside Masato, Chiyu paused to let the other adjust."I know it is not fair." Leaning down, he peered directly into Masato's eyes."I do not like hiding from you. I wish to let you know everything because I am in love with you. I just cannot tell you at this moment."

Masato snaked his arms around Chiyu to hold him close."It's alright. I trust you." He kissed the other lovingly."I love you." Reconnecting their lips, the next kiss was very deep and full of passion and lust.

During the passionate kiss, Chiyu decided it was a good time to start moving. Shifting his hips back, he pulled his shaft mostly out of Masato-all but the tip-then pushed back into him. He repeated the motion over and over again, beginning slow. He was very pleased when a moan escaped Masato. Pulling back slightly to see Masato's face, he quickened his movements."Let me hear you, Masato.." he said between uneven breaths."Do not hold back.."

As the thrusts became faster, they also became a bit harder. Masato had never known pleasure like this before. It was the most amazing thing he'd ever felt. He tried not to hold his moans back. When he heard the masked one start to moan, he decided it was okay to let himself get a little noisy. After all, they were alone. Arching his back when a certain spot inside of him was hit by a hard thrust, he almost literally shouted with pleasure.

Noticing how much pleasure that thrust made the other feel, Chiyu hit that same spot again, listening to the loud moan that came out of his new lover's mouth. He began aiming his thrusts at that spot, hitting it repeatedly to give Masato as much pleasure as possible. His own moans were getting a bit loud as well. His mind became a tiny bit distracted when his ears caught a small sound, like the click of a camera. He had to finish this quickly then go outside to stop whoever was there, as he and Masato were obviously not alone. Putting his focus back on Masato, the other didn't seem to have heard the click. With some quick, hard thrusts to the prince's sensitive spot, he was highly pleased when the other clearly couldn't hold on any longer."Let it out.." he whispered into Masato's ear.

With a loud moan, Masato allowed himself to release, most of the cum landing on his own stomach."Are you..going to..?" He couldn't even finish that question.

"Yes.." Chiyu felt ready to climax. He could feel himself about to burst."Do you want me..to release..inside you..or on you..?"

Being unsure, Masato chose the option that seemed less embarrassing."Inside me..please.."

A couple deep thrusts more and Chiyu was fully ready. Moaning with satisfaction, he released inside Masato. After releasing, he waited for a few seconds then pulled his shaft out and fixed his pants. He leaned down and licked the cum off of Masato's stomach, hearing another click from outside. This shack only had one window, so he knew where the person was."I will return shortly. Stay here." That said, Chiyu rose to his feet and stepped out of the shack.

Masato was quite confused. Hearing some commotion outside, he sat up, grabbed his towel, and covered himself. The commotion didn't last long. It soon got quiet, and then there was a sound like a small splash. When Chiyu came back into the shack, Masato eyed him."What happened?"

"There was someone outside." Chiyu answered truthfully."He apparently followed us here to take photos."

"What?" Masato was scared that someone would find out. If any proof of this was shown, it would damage his reputation and hurt his chances at becoming the next king."Did you stop him?"

Chiyu sat down beside Masato."Do not worry. I scared him away and threw his camera into the pond. His photos are now ruined."

Sighing with relief, Masato smiled and relaxed."Thank you." He kissed the others cheek sweetly."I love you."

"I love you as well." Chiyu opened his cloak enough to pull Masato into it with him."We should get some sleep." They both laid down on the dusty floor and held each other close.

"Good night." Masato said as he closed his eyes. Despite being on a dirty floor, he was very comfortable.

Chiyu smiled, quite happy to have Masato in his arms like this."Good night." He stayed awake until he was sure that Masato was asleep. Then, he allowed himself to sleep as well.
