The Pain that a Prince Carries

Bam has a desire which to take Khun back but he wonders if Khun wanted it, to stands by his side.

He is stupid. He is dumb. He is a fool.

That was what he thought about himself. If only he realized his feelings sooner and confessed it properly, he knew Khun will stand by his side now. Laying together on the bed, cuddling and kissing but he was a fool, denying his feelings which make Khun far away from him.

Hearing that Khun was inside Zahard's Castle makes him mad. He knows what happened there. It's not like he spying or something but his instincts telling him that Zahard was having fun with Khun. And he did not like that. He wants the only one who able to touch Khun and embrace him was his. Holding him tight and never let him go.

Devouring every inch of his body and listening to the soft voice full of love calling his name over and over again.

Feel the warmth in every touch that he gave and staring at the blue ocean eyes that were so calmy.

He wanted to experience it again but now Zahard already took what is belongs to him. His sky, his moon, and his ocean, he took them all.

If only he able to take him back, he will be happier but he was too weak. Khun's leaving was evidence of his weaknesses. The proof that he still needs someone to stand in front of the line for him.

If only he was strong as Enryu, he knows that he was able to defeat Zahard easily.

Ting Tong

The doorbell was ringing and it startled Bam from his daydream. He didn't want to open it up but he was the only one who was staying at home while the others were going out.

With the body that heavy as a stone, Bam slowly walked towards the door and opened it then he saw a girl with pink hair and golden eyes, the same as his.

"Ummm... Hye there, I'm Po Bidau Clara Khun. Are you the slayer candidate?" the girl said as soon as he opened the door.

He nodded his head slowly. For some reason, this girl looked so familiar to him. It felt like he had seen the girl before, but where?

"Yes. Jue Viole Grace, my name," he said shortly.

Clara's eyes shine brightly and it makes Bam confused. Why did she so happy seeing him?

"I finally found you! You must be Prince Ague-"

Without having any chances for Clara to finish her sentence, Bam immediately put his hand around Clara's neck and gripped it tightly.

Right after he heard Clara mentioned Khun's name, everything around him suddenly turning white. He was unable to see or hear anything.

Also, his body moved on his own.

"I- cough.. cough. Brother's teammate!" said Clara while struggling to escape from Bam's grip.

Clara's eyes began to teary and her face start to turn blue, lack of oxygen. Her head starts to become dizzy and everything around her start to spinning.

She will die!

Without waiting any moment, with all the energy that she had left, she slapped Bam as hard as she can and it startled Bam up. He immediately let her g and stepped behind while Clara kneeling on the ground panting and coughing.

"I- I didn't mean it! I'm so sorry!" said Bam and immediately helped Clara to stand. His eyes widened right after he saw the bruises that he made on Clara's neck and immediately apologize multiple times.

"It's okay. Clara understand. Prince must be a sensitive topic here," she said as soon as her breathing becomes normal. Bam's eyes narrowed as soon as Clara forgive him even though he thought he didn't deserve it.

"I'm sorry." He apologized again.

"No need to be sorry, Viole. By the way, Clara here wanting to invite Viole to our house since today's brother will join us again!" Told Clara excitedly.

Bam smiled faintly. He glads that he didn't end up killing her. She was too precious. And brother?

"Brother talked a lot about Viole when he was with Clara. Brother said that Clara has the same eyes as Viole! That's how Clara able found Viole!" said Clara. Every time she talks, Bam found out it was cute. Using third-person to addressed herself wasn't bad. It suits her shining personality.

Bam also noticed that Clara addressed Khun as her brother. It may because she also one of Khun's family members.

Besides, Bam was kinda happy when she told him that Khun also talked about him to his teammates. Yes, of course, Bam wanted all people to know that he was precious to Khun. He wanted all people to know that Khun loves him.

He not selfish. He just wanted all people to know that Aguero belongs to him.

"But every time brother talked about Viole, he always ended up crying. It makes Clara so sad. That's why Clara wanted to surprise Brother by bringing Viole to our house! Don't worry! Clara already asked permission from Alan and he said yes!" told Clara and immediately take Bam's hand.

"Come fast! Before Brother arrived! We need to give him a big surprise!" She said.

Bam began to cry. It not because of sadness. It because of happiness. His wish to able to meet Khun again, finally been granted. For the first time, Bam believes in God.

Khun smiled faintly when he knew that he already far away from Zahard's Castle. He felt empty. Sitting in the wheelchair reminds him clearly of Rachel. That bitch-

But she doesn't matter anyway. Right now he needs to go back to Alan and the rest. He needs to get far away from Zahard. He needs to climb the tower as slow as he can without noticing Zahard that he doesn't have any intention to reach the top. He needs a plan.

Slowly he looked at his unmovable legs. He felt nothing in it. He remembered how Zahard forcibly moved his leg when they were in their make-out session until he heard the crack sound of it. Even though he already begged for him to stop because it painful as hell, Zahard still ignored it.

And this morning he found out that both his legs were broken. He tried summoned firefish to heal it but his energy drained completely.

"Your Majesty My Queen," called his servant makes Khun flinched in shock.

"Yes?"

"We already arrive on floor 67," he said.

"67?"

"Yes, this is where my Queen's teammate whereabouts."

Khun cringed when he heard the servant keep calling him 'Queen'.

Looks like he needs to get used to that new status.

"Oh, I see. They kinda fast," whispered Khun.

"Do you want me to take you to their place?"

"No, no need. Just give me their coordinates, I'll teleport myself there," said Khun.

The servant that accompany Khun just nodded his head. After a couple of minutes, he handed Khun the coordinate then Khun teleport right away without looking back at the servant nor thanking him.

With just a blink of eyes, he finally arrived at a very unfamiliar place.

He tried to move with his wheelchair but just because he still didn't get used to it, he accidentally hit the table and created some noise.

"Who was there?" asked someone.

Khun recognized this voice. It was Clara's. Slowly turned to the voice. He was right. When their eyes already meet each other, he smiled softly.

"BROTHER!" Screamed Clara and immediately ran towards Khun and hugged him.

Khun welcoming Clara's embrace by hugged her back.

"Clara, who- Oh My Goodness! Prince! Where did you come from?!" said Marco right after he saw Khun.

"Prince?! Oh, Prince! You're back," said Hestia.

"Prince? You're back but why are you using a wheelchair?" Said Deajung forwardly.

Khun was stunned by Deajung straightforward question. What should he say? Should he tell them that Zahard fuck him so hard until he unable to walk and accidentally broke his legs? No way!

"He broke my leg because I tried to run away from him," answered Khun calmly. Even though it a lie but with Khun's poker face while he answering it, everyone seems to believe it.

Of course, they were shocked because that was brutal.

"W- who?" Asked Marco hesitantly. He was scared that Khun might get angry. But instead of getting angry, Khun smiled.

"Where do you think I am from?"

"Emmm... Zahard's Castle?" Answered Clara.

"Yes, and who are living there?"

"King Zahard?"

"Exactly. He-"

"WHAT?!"

Without waiting for Khun to finished his work, Bam immediately appeared and walked towards him with his darkened face and heavy tension aura around him.

Khun's eyes widened when he saw Bam was looking at him with his deadly eyes. He tried to run away but since he was in a wheelchair it makes him hard to move.

"Khun, are you trying to run away?" growled Bam. His voice sounded hoarse. It sounds like he tried to hold his cries and anger at the same time.

"No- I- What are you doing here?"

"Khun, that was the first thing that you asked me even after been separated for 2 months?"

The tension in the air getting thicker. Even Hestia, Deajung, Marco, and Clara didn't dare to interrupt them because no one knows their story. No one.

"This is what you want?" Asked Bam. His voice suddenly went softer than it used to be.

Watching Khun who slowly keeps rotated his wheelchair backward so he can keep the distance, Bam didn't know how to react. Should he be mad because Khun keeps running away from him or should he be happy because he finally meets him again?

Khun bit his lips while his eyes were focused on his legs. He didn't even dare to look into Bam's eyes. That eye makes him weaker. It makes him wanted to tell him for never letting him go again. He wanted to scream no! No! And no! Hold him and embrace him but he can't.

Because if he asking Bam to stay, he'll be killed by Zahard, and if Bam dies, all his efforts for keeping Bam safe will be worthless.

"Go back... Go," said Khun.

Just a simple sentence makes Bam's blood boiling in rage.

"No Khun. You not going anywhere so do I," he said and slowly moved towards Khun.

Khun got goosebumps right after he heard that. He heard those words before. He used to say that to Rachel a long time ago.

"Don't make me lock you in a room where no one able to reach you, Khun." Each word that Bam said, he stresses it.

"Bam?- Ahh!"

Bam suddenly gripped both Khun's shoulder as hard as he can and forced Khun to look right into his eyes.

"Bam?" Called Khun. He was scared. Yes! He was scared of Bam. Right now he didn't even recognize the person in front of him.

The golden eyes that used to shine brightly before now were darkened and empty.

"Bam?"

"But locked you are not a bad idea, right?" He said and grinned faintly.

Khun able to felt his whole body was trembling in fear. He felt like he was in front of a demon who wanted to take away his life.

This was the person he used to love.

The person he loved was caring, kind, confident, and innocent not a demon with an angel's face.

"B-"

"BAM! THAT ENOUGH!" Shouted Androssi who suddenly kicked the door until it broke.

"You are crazy! Leave Khun alone!" shouted Hatsu this time.

"Black turtle what was into you now?"

"My God, you already crossing the line," said Hwaryun calmly but still her voice sounded clear and loud.

"Let A. A go, Viole!"

"Slayer, I thought that you can control your emotions. That's why I allowed Clara to invited you here but seems you can't," said Alan.

Bam glaring at them while his grip tightening. Khun hissed.

He was sure that there will be new bruises on his shoulder.

"Bam... My shoulder... hurt," whispered Khun. Bam's eyes moved to Khun. He can felt that the grip was getting tighter instead.

"Do you know what hurt more?! My heart!" Shouted Bam with his eyes already contained his tears.

Khun's eyes widened so do everyone who heard it. They want to stay mad but can't since Bam's eyes telling how hurt he was.

It makes Khun wanted to hug him and apologize for leaving him. Telling him that he will never leave him alone and comfort him.

"Bam... I- cough"

Khun started to coughing multiple times. He tried to ask for water but he can't. His voice won't come out.

His head also began to felt dizzy and his chest was hurt. His lungs felt full and his heart beating loud. He was also unable to breathe. He felt like there something stuck in his throat.

He continues to coughing and tried to ask for help but no one seems to notice it since all their attention went to Bam.

"Bam, you're hurting Khun. Let him go," said Hatsu.

"No!"

Khun coughed.

"Viole, you can't do this! Please respect A.A," said Ran.

"Never!"

Khun coughed again.

"Bam, if you keep acting like this it will be hard to solve it!" Said Androssi.

"You don't understand!"

"You're the one who didn't want to understand, Viole!" said Hwaryun this time.

Khun coughs getting harder.

"Viole, Clara disappoint on you," said Clara.

"Can you respect him? He's the Prince!" Said Marco.

"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! SO SHUT UP!"

Khun coughed again and again.

"Blue turtle was hurt, Black turtle! You should be careful to treat him!" shouted Rak.

"Bam, please listen," said Shibisu.

"I will never let Khun go... again-"

Bam's attention suddenly went to Khun as soon as he smelled something fishy.

His eyes widened as soon as he saw Khun was covering his mouth with blood dripping out of it.

"KHUN!" He shouted.

"Is okay Bam. I'm-"

Blood keeps coming out. Khun can felt that all his blood went to his throat and wanting to be throwing out.

"Wat-"

Blood comes out again.

"KHUN, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?! DO HAVE YOUR MEDICINE?" Shouted Shibisu panicking.

Bam unable to move. His eyes widened big as he saw his loved one covered with blood all over his front shirt.

"Bam... I'm o..kay... Don't... Wo... Worry..."

He tried to reach for Bam's cheek but even his hand he can't lift it.

Everything around him began to getting spinning and turning white.

Is he going to die this time?

"Bam..." called Khun and finally lost his consciousness.

"KHUN"

"BROTHER"

"PRINCE"

"Aguero?..."
