Author's Notes: HOLY SHIT! This has taken forever and ever to finally get out! I've had such a block with all my fics not to mention having to make many trips up to visit my family and my trip to New Orleans! I had a ball, but now it's time to get down to business. So here it is, the next chapter of Odoriko, ENJOY!
Chapter 4: The Emperor's Bed
Hiro sighed as he stared up at the evening sky through the window in the Emperor's bed chambers. He turned slightly looking back at the luxurious surroundings. A large bed dominated most of the room, surrounded by plush rugs probably made in Persia. Reds and blacks seemed to be the dominant theme with a few shades of purple mixed in among the large pillows. /Not like I'm not used to this kind of thing. Why couldn't he just pick another and leave me be./ Hiro turned his sad gaze back to the window he had been watching, seeing the full moon beginning to become covered by dark clouds that slowly retreated to reveal its silvery glory.
Hiro slowly leaned on the window sill, holding his head up on his arms. He closed his eyes, trying to pretend he was anywhere else but here with a man he would probably hate. Hiro didn't bother turning when he felt hands caress his slender back, running down to his hips where the large hands rested. He allowed the large hands to turn him and slowly looked up into the cold sapphire gems the Emperor called his eyes. He looked down for a moment, when a hand lifted his chin, forcing him to look up at the Emperor.
"Remove your veil; I want to look at your face." The Emperor's cool voice boomed slightly in the large room.
The Emperor took a step back, allowing him to get a view of the whole picture his slave made. Hiro slowly reached up undoing the veil and allowing it to fall from his body, enticing the Emperor further. He studied the boy's beautiful features before moving on to his body.
"Take the rest of your clothes off."
Hiro bowed his head, closing his eyes for a moment before doing as he was told and slowly removing them. He left them in a pile on the floor as he kept his gaze averted from the Emperor as he stood before him completely exposed. In the meantime, said Emperor was finding it very hard to just look at the beautiful body before him. He walked a circle around the boy, studying him before going back behind him and pulling him close, immediately letting the boy feel just how much he enjoyed the picture presented to him. Hiro closed his eyes, feeling tears leap into his eyes. He hadn't cried for years, why would he suddenly start now. /Perhaps because I just don't want to do this, but I've had to do things I didn't want to before, why would this suddenly affect me now./
The Emperor slowly turned the boy to face him, sensing a change in his cold demeanor. What he saw broke some of the ice surrounding his heart. The boy's beautiful blue eyes were shimmering with tears that threatened to fall down his soft cheeks.
"Is being with me so bad?" The Emperor questioned as he softly wiped the tears that began to fall down the soft cheeks.
"I'm sorry Master; I don't know what's come over me." Hiro's quiet low voice broke the Emperor from his study of his face.
"Don't call me that. Not here. When we're around others you will address me as such, and play the role you are supposed to be in. But here, you will always address me by my name just as I'll address you by yours."
Hiro turned his gaze up, startled by the command. The Emperor must've seen the confusion for he laughed softly. A low rich sound that filled the room. Hiro found himself liking the sound, the way it made the Emperor's cool detached mask fall from his face, revealing just how incredibly handsome he really was.
"And what should I call you…..Master?" Hiro asked lowering his eyes and looking up from his long lashes.
"K."
"Just K?" Hiro asked leaning a little closer as the blond man reached out a hand and gently caressed his cheek.
"Yes, just K."
Author's Notes: While incredibly short, I'm sorry about the length it's just been so long you'll have to give me time to slip back into the role of writing. I'm going to have a lot going on with classes and shit like that so I might not be able to write as much as I typically like to, so I hope this will suffice until I get a long weekend and can continue this! Thanks for the sweet reviews and being patient! I really appreciate it! Also one of my reviewers Kaylarian said I was spelling Tetsuya's name wrong, I'm talking about Noriko's husband and in the English manga that is how they spell it. I know English sucks, but I don't have a Japanese class until next semester so hopefully I'll learn how to read the language at least a little and can get better copies of everything! Also, Mistress of Muses, thank you so much for pointing out that error to me. If you ever see another please feel free to point it out to me. I really appreciate all constructive criticism though I will try to justify what is happening on occasions, I really mean no harm. Thank you to anyone who notices something and wants to point it out or talk to me about it! Thanks again for reading and reviewing!
