I'm sorry I haven't updated in this story. I would have done it sooner, but I could quite remember how I left off. I had one way of finding until now. So here it goes.
Forever in Eternity
Taking a deep breath, he noticed a group of young men looking at him. It may have been a long time, but he could still recognize the boys who had tormented him when he was younger. Quickly he started to walk away from them as fast as he could without drawing to much attention to himself.
His heart stopped when he heard one of the men calling to him. He kept walkinghoping it wasn't him they called,but stopped when a hand on his shoulder turned him around to face them.
There was a knowing smirk on his face that Caleb would gladly wipe off with his fist.
"Well, well, who do we have here? Haven't seen you in a long time," one of the boys stated.
"Last time I heard you were living in the palace, so what brings you out here with us lowly people," the one that held him mocked.
Caleb refused to show his fear and narrowed his eyes, freeing himself from the men, growled that he was getting items for the advisor.
"What all this time in the palace made you think you better then us you freak," the young man said.
Caleb turned to ignore them, but got the wind knocked out of him instead. He sank to the ground, as the fist withdrew from his abs, he heard laughter. He lost track ofhow much time he was there on the floor, or how many blows they were delivering until they stopped.
He heard voices and shouts the next thing he felt was a gentle touch. A familiar voice calling him from the darkness, until he gave in to it, he couldn't help it.
Caleb felt pain all over, but he felt the warmth. He was being carried, someone was running with him. He struggled to open his eyes, but even that hurt. Then he heard a familiar voice, again.
"Hang on, Caleb, it be alright," Jono said.
Then Caleb remembered Jono had saved him from the thugs who were hurting him.
"Jono," he struggled to speak.
"Shh, I'll get you to the healers as soon as I can, I'm almost there," Jono stated.
"Someone, call the healers, now," Jono shouted as he ran into the palace.
Servants came running along with the healers.
Jono ran to his bedroom, and placed him on his bed.
"But Captain, this is your room," one of the healers stated.
"I know that, just heal him," Jono shouted.
"Jono, shouting at them, isn't going to take the pain away," a calm voiced stopped him.
Yami had entered the room.
"Hurry, heal him," Yami commanded.
The healers nodded and went to work.
Yami pulled Jono aside and let the healers perform there duties.
"Jono, tell me what happened?" Yami asked.
"I don't know, Yami. I was just walking down the streets, when I saw a group of man attacking someone. When I went to stop them, I found out it was Caleb," Jono answered as he paced back and forth looking at the healers then at Yami.
"Like the first time you met him," Yami stated causing Jono to stop and look at him.
"Yes. Like the first, I met him," Jono stated and looked back to Caleb.
Jono then remembered the bag he held in his hands.
Yami could see the rage and fear building in Jono as if something had been revealed to him. Jono seemed to be rabid.
Yami saw as he walked out.
"Jono?"
"Take care of him, Yami," Jono said as he walked out.
Leave it to Jono, to ask the Pharaoh like that. But then again Jono was one of a handful of people that could speak to him like that without having their tongues cut off.
Jono stormed down the halls of the palace as he tightened his hold of the bag in his hand, until he reached his destination.
"Marik, open the damn door," Jono pounded into the doors.
"What?" Marik hissed as he sung open the door.
"I warned you, if you ever dared to put Caleb in that kind of danger, you would pay," Jono shouted.
"What?"
"Caleb, you idiot, he was attacked outside the palace walls obtaining what you asked," Jono made it clear, waving the bag in front of his face.
Marik narrowed his eyes.
"It's not my fault your boyfriend didn't wait for you. I told him to. If anything it's his fault, not mine," Marik stated.
How quickly the serpent lied.
Jono stopped and looked at his brother.
"Can I please have the bag I need it," Marik said coldly.
Jono held the bag, knowing there were glass bottles in it.
With a smug smile, Jono throw the bag in front of Marik, hearing the bottle break. He bow lightly and walked out leaving a fuming Marik.
He grinned when he heard his brother screaming bloody murder.
Jono walked into his room to find the healers gone, and the only people left were a silent Yami and worried Setti, that had just appeared. Yami turned to see Jono coming in.
"The healers have done all they can do. Caleb just needs some rest," Yami stated.
"You will make sure he does right, Jono?" Setti asked innocently.
"Yeah," Jono answered.
"Knowing Caleb, it won't be that easy," Setti commented.
Jono laughed, Setti was right.
Setti stood from Caleb's side and went to Yami.
"We'll leave you two," Yami said and lead Setti out.
Jono watched the two leave, he had to admit seeing them leave together made the pang of jealousy disappear. Jono couldn't help feel it when ever he sees Caleb and Setti together. They seemed to have so much in common. Jono feared Caleb would fall for him, like Yami had.
He turned and walked towards Caleb. He gently climbed into bed, trying not to wake Caleb. He lay beside him, placing his arms around him. Caleb moaned and opened his eyes.
"Jono,"
"Caleb, how do you feel?"
"Sore and I hurt all over,"
Jono remained quite.
"Serves you right," Jono stated after a while.
"What?"
"Why did you leave without me? Why didn't you wait for me?" Jono asked.
Caleb remained silent.
"What if I was too late? What then? You could have died," Jono partially shouted.
Caleb bit his lower lip, as Jono tighten his hold.
"I don't know what I would do if I lost you," Jono whispered.
"I'm sorry," Caleb whispered and nuzzled closer to Jono.
They remained quiet simply holding each other close.
Setti was unusually quiet as he lay next to Yami. He just listened to Yami's heart beat in his chest. While Yami ran his fingers through Setti's lush hair, Yami observed his companion was too quiet. Yami assumed it was because of Caleb. Setti and Caleb had become very close.
Yami could help but feel horrid when he thought that maybe Setti was falling in love with Caleb. Yami bit his lower lip and looked away from Setti. Lifting Setti off his chest, and he sat up.
"Yami," Setti asked in his innocent voice.
"I'm sorry, Setti but Jono loves Caleb," Yami stated.
"I know, Caleb love Jono too," Setti said as he sat next to Yami. He was confused by Yami's statement.
Yami looked at him with sadness in his eyes, then surprise.
"You aren't in love with Caleb?" Yami asked.
Setti blinked and absorb the question.
"No, Yami I don't love Caleb, well not in the way you say," Setti said as he moved closer to Yami.
"No?" Yami asked as he hopes began to rise.
"No," Setti smiled and straddled Yami's lap causing Yami to wrap his arms around his waist.
"Then why are you so quiet?" Yami asked.
"I was thinking, Caleb being hurt like that and the fear I saw in Jono. It made me realize something," Setti stated.
"What?"
"I don't know what I would do if you and I were separated," Setti whispered.
Yami pulled Setti closer until their bodies completely met.
"Don't worry Setti, I won't ever leave you. I don't think I could stand loosing you either," Yami whispered back.
Setti pulled away and looked Yami straight into Yami's eyes.
"Yami I want to be with you," Setti stated.
Yami looked at Setti.
"Setti, what do you mean?"
"Two days ago, I turned the age of seventeen; in my tribe I was to choose a mate to be with for life. I want to be with you," Setti said innocently.
"You choose me?" Yami asked.
"Unless, you don't want…"
Yami quickly kissed Setti's lips, preventing him from finishing the statement.
Smiling into the lips Setti kissed back.
Pulling away, Yami smiled and turned them over, so Setti would be lying on the bed and Yami was on top of him.
"Yes, you don't know how much I want to be with you," Yami smiled as he kissed Setti again and made his way down his neck.
Setti moaned and cried out.
"Yami I love you," Setti gasped.
Yami stopped and looked at Setti's eyes once again.
"I love you too," Yami smiled.
Setti giggled and wrapped his arms around Yami's next placing their foreheads together.
"Say it again,"
I hope you like it.
