A/N: the king's description I took it from the clamp manga RG Vera
And thank you so much for the reviews! I'm so happy!
One SecondA strong hand grabbed the bottom of his chin; they tilted Fai's neck back so Fai could meet his eyes.
Golden eyes stared at him, eyes that were like the other Ashura's, hard and deceiving. Eyes that betrayed his feelings and at the end he would call upon a person's trust and at the last moment when he had enough of that someone he'd show them his real callous intentions.
"See you have nothing to fear" Ashura whispered.
Fai was still frightened.
Fai had been bought and Scarlet had found her success and happiness in her reward. The young mage slept in his own room for that night, to prove to him that he wouldn't hurt him Ashura didn't sleep with him for the first night.
In the morning Fai was bathed by the servants, he put on what a woman brought with the help of a young girl. Fai wanted to reach out and hug the teenage girl into a tight embrace and she wanted to do the same. He had turned to the woman that assisted him and demanded their absents.
Fai smiled at the green-eye teen who was at the burst of tears. Fai opened his arms wide to receive her, she ran to him and they hugged, she cried in his chest as he cooed her like a mother to her crying child. He whispered sweet things to her, telling her that he missed her and that she had to be strong for only a little longer. He brushed her hair out of her verdant eyes and wet face.
"For how long have you been here?" he asked her once she had calmed down.
"About a week" she said as she let Fai wipe her tears from her face.
"Are you okay? Have you been eating properly?"
She nodded.
"How's everyone?" Fai asked, "where are they?"
"Syoran-kun is working in the stables, Mokona is with him while Kurogane-san is a guard"
"Hyuu" Fai made his usual whistle sound. She laughed for the first time sense they had separated.
After sometime in catching up the woman who was in charge of him made herself into the room announcing that the king expected Fai to eat breakfast with him.
"Why don't you help me Sakura-chan" he asked her, she smiled at him and nodded slightly embarrassed.
When Sakura had gone to do her chores Fai still felt scared but he felt refreshed and found new courage that he never before knew he could have. He took a big breath and did his counting technique from five to fifteen then to seven and seven to zero he slid the door open and saw the king sitting in one of those cushions waiting for Fai.
Fai bowed to the floor like the day before and waited to be invited in.
"Come in" he heard the man's voice said, his voice was deep, low and mysterious.
Fai did as he was told; still a little scared and was careful in every move he made. He is not the same one… He thought, he is not the same one. He sat in a cushion across from the king. He kept his eyes fixed on the pattern of the floor. The room was consumed by silence.
"You are so beautiful" The king said, "But that's not all that is you, I see more"
Fai didn't reply.
"Say something, I would like to listen to your voice"
Fai couldn't bring himself to say anything in fear that his composure would break.
"I beg you" the king said, Fai was surprise to this, a king begging from him, but not just any king, Ashura none the less. It may not be the same one but at the same time he was.
"At least look at me"
Fai made an attempt, he raised his eyes from the floor, and they were traveling up as they started to see the king's cloths. The king wore a warrior's kimono, dressed in royal blue, he was sitting nice and tall, his hands on his knees. He had wide shoulders; his hair was raven and long like the other Ashura's but he had it pulled back. But what caught Fai's attention was not only how the king looked but also what he had around his neck.
It was prayer like bean necklace with Sakura's feather hanging from it beautifully with two red ribbons at the end.
