Old Souls
A/N: Ok, This is a massive time skip. There is a chapter that goes before this one but is restricted to my Ao3 account simply because it's mostly the progression of Barak and Myrddin's relationship. Meaning that It has graphic slash in it and I can't put it on Fanfiction lest I want my story deleted. Anyway, Barak has already captured his two dungeons and the two teens have met up with Morgiana. So on to the story!
P.S: This chapter has some mentions of two men sleeping together, nothing expect but still it is in the chapter.
Chapter Song: Sweet Dreams - By Eurythmics
Everybody's Looking For Something
~~~~~~ Some Months Later, Caravan Groop ~~~~~~
It was early morning and the sun slid through a tiny sliver of open space in between a tent flap setting a small patch of ground covered in blankets awash in the early morning sunlight. Two teenage boys lay curled up together underneath a thin blanket. One, the slightly larger of the two with pure white lengthy curly hair, held the smaller boy close, his sharp cheekbone resting on the plum colored locks that covered the younger's head and pulled around the makeshift bed. The white-haired boy groaned softly as sunlight penetrated his closed eyes in a rather irritating fashion and he cracked one of the aqua orbs open to glare harshly at the newly rising sun. Huffing in irritation the teen glanced down and smiled softly as plum colored hair met his gaze. Shifting slightly the teen unwrapped his arms from around his lover and sat up, uncaring that the thin blanket fell from his shoulders to his waist exposing his bare chest.
The smaller teen, however, groaned out loud and awoke with his face scrunched in discontent at being woken. Gold eyes slid open and the male huffed as he took in the white-haired boy grinning down at him. Rolling over to his side instead of laying on his belly the smaller teen hissed as he moved. The other teen let out a tiny snort as the plum haired boy let out a slew of curses.
"Oh shut up Myrddin, you're not the one with the sore arse." The gold eyed boy growled out glaring petulantly at the sitting one before his gaze fell on the other's chest and he flushed at the sight of the marks he left on the others well-built frame. Myrddin let out a deep chuckle and tossed his head slightly, moving to get up.
"Honestly Barak I didn't do anything you didn't want, Hell you practically beg…" He was cut off as the plum haired teen shot up and held a hand to the others mouth uncaring that the blanket fell away completely leaving his nudity fully exposed. The white-haired boy grinned behind the hand at the flushed face of his lover enjoying the flustered look on the others face.
"Sh-Shut up!" Barak stuttered then realizing that he was once again completely nude in front of someone who would take pleasure pouncing on him he squealed and jumped back. "A-Anyway we need to get dressed! Morgiana told us last night that she was going to scout ahead to see if she could locate those bandits right?" The gold eyed teen asked rhetorically as he reached for his pants and began to pull them on wincing as a stab of pain flared up his lower back.
Myrddin who had been lustfully staring at the slight but still well-muscled frame of his lover blinked and then nodded noting the flinch of pain. He to stood up ignoring his unclothed state and moved over to Barak who had just finished tying his pants up. The white-haired teen laid one of his hands along the small of the others back and let his magoi slide into a rather familiar spell. Barak sighed in relief as the slight stabbing pain went away and Myrddin pulled back with a tiny smile on his face.
"Yes," The aqua eyed boy stated as he to begin to dress pulling on his own pants. "She should have been back by now."
Barak nodded as he pulled his shirt on over his head, reaching back as soon as it was settled along his torso to pull free his long hair trapped underneath the black cloth. He was tying his hair into a ponytail when a thought occurred to him. He quickly turned to the taller teen who was pushing his own hair back as he tied his pants up.
"You ah, You don't think that she just went in by herself do you?" He asked making the other pause as he grabbed his shirt to look into Barak's worried gold eyes. Then he breathed out:
"Fuck."
Needless to say, the two of them dressed rather quickly and exited the tent only to stop as they saw what was around them, or rather the absence of what should be around them.
"Myrddin please tell me you are seeing the same thing I am."
"If you mean everyone is gone, then yes I am seeing exactly the same thing."
"Son of a…"
Yeah, the two could already tell it was going to be one of those days.
~~~~~~ Three Days Later, Road To Balbadd ~~~~~~
"So let me get this straight… you got caught by the slaves because of a bolder they pushed down on the caravan and Morgiana saved you after getting captured herself…"
Aladdin nods with a bright smile on his face.
"Damn do I miss everything that goes on around you?!" Barak hissed as he mussed his hair while Myrddin gave a small laugh shaking his head at his irritated King. Really Barak just missed the opportunity to get blackmail more than anything else. The plum haired male sighed and slid his arms behind his head after huffing while turning away from his Magi. He knew that the other teen was laughing at him.
Morgiana who was watching the two giggled a bit at the petulant pout on the shorter males face before turning to Aladdin and smiling at the boy.
"I wanted to thank you." The fanalis girl stated pushing a strand of hair behind her ears as she looked down sheepishly. Aladdin blinked and turned to look at her confused. "You and Alibaba broke my chains. You saved me, so thank you." She bowed deeply to the child whose eyes widened. He quickly waved his hands back dismissively before bowing back himself.
"No No! If anyone should be thanked it's you! You saved me from the bandits Mor!" The blue-haired boy said while flailing his arms and bowing frantically back to the girl. The girl flushed and quietly mouthed 'Mor.'.
"Mor?" Myrddin asked the still bowing child who blinked and stood up before nodding.
"Well her name is kinda long so I thought Mor would be easier." Aladdin said while Morgiana smiled brightly and told the boy it was fine to use it. Barak let out a chuckle as he watched the two with Myrddin. He had just turned around to start walking again when he froze not believing just what he was seeing.
"Hey guys nice weather we're having isn't it?" It was tall, broad-shouldered and almost absolutely nude. There was a leaf covering the important bits.
"Hey, Myrddin are you seeing this or have I suddenly gone insane?" Three headshakes.
"Nope, I see it too."
"Ah."
"Indeed."
"..."
"..."
"GAHH! MY EYES! I AM NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO UNSEE THAT!"
"URG! THE ONLY ONE I WANT TO SEE LIKE THAT IS BARAK!"
"MOR STAND BACK IT'S A MONSTER!"
"HEY WAIT A MOMENT GUYS!"
~~~~~~ Half an Hour Later ~~~~~~
Sinbad laughed and rubbed the back of his head as he looked at the little group that had stumbled upon him in his er… disgrace. Once more his gold eyes trailed over to the smaller teenage boy who was giving him the evil eye still. He withheld the urge to flinch as he smiled at the teen taking in the face and coloring of the boy. While the coloring could be explained away the facial structure and eye shape could not.
Damn, Ja'far was right his manwhore ways where indeed coming back to bite him in the ass. The adult barely stopped himself from shuddering at the thought of just what the white-haired male was going to do to him when he saw him next or more importantly saw the boy sitting across from him. The feeling of someone trying to set him on fire with there eyes made him glance over at the other three locking eyes with the other male teen in the group. That smile on the white-haired boy's face was making him very nervous for some reason. Then he remembered Ja'far wearing that same smile as he brutally murdered someone who had tried to poison him. Flinching he glanced at the last two children letting a slightly easier smile slide onto his face.
"Sorry, mister!" Aladdin he believed the child's name was chimed as he sat by the fire. The older male teens just rolled their eyes in sync. "We are probably all just a little bit too paranoid from crossing the desert." Barak, the plum haired boy's name was, muttered a quiet 'Speak for yourself.' that was ignored and Sinbad gave the group a slightly dismissive wave of his hand.
"It's all right! You guys crossed the desert though? That's quite impressive!" The two older teens exchanged a disbelieving look and then turned back to him with deadpan expressions. "Did you two cross with them?" He asked the two. The slightly smaller boy gave him a searching look before grinning in a way that made him slightly nervous.
"Nope!" He chimed in before turning to the white-haired teen sitting next to him. "I and Myrddin met up with them again after visiting a rather annoying blond troll. We all decided to head back to Balbadd so that we could find the fifth member of our little group." He then turned to Myrddin with a soft smile crossing his face. "Isn't that right Love?"
Sinbad froze.
~~~~~~ An Hour Later In Balbadd ~~~~~~
Needless to say, it was a very quiet journey into the city after Morgiana had smelled the sea and lead them to the city. Sin, the man that they had run into had become quiet after the revelation that the two teenage boys where in a relationship. Myrddin had nearly started a fight about what he saw as close-mindedness from the man until Barak had rather calmly asked the man if he had a problem with it. That had startled the man into telling them that he certainly had no problems with it, he was no hypocrite and he had experimented a bit himself, but that others might.
They had reached the city with no problems even getting into it without being stopped because of the elder males little clothing. It was only after reaching the inner city that things became tense once more.
Barak was looking around the place with a slightly horrified look in his gold eyes, taking in all the people laying half starved in alleyways. Myrddin who had been told about just who had taken him in when his mother died understood what he was thinking and walked closer to the plum haired boy. That the only adult in the group was looking around with the same look in his eyes did not go unnoticed by the taller teen though. Then there was the reception that they got at the hotel.
Barak would admit seeing the older man whacked good a couple of times for walking up to the entrance dressed like a male er... entertainer was hilarious. The stairs that he got from the two who collected the pain in the ass not so much.
Myrddin who was watching this all frowned and shot the older plum haired male a suspicious glare as he walked away with his two friends. Barak may be deliberately being obtuse but Myrddin was not. He knew that the older man was likely his little lover's father and was dreading the eventual confrontation. Cous' come hell or high water Barak was his, His King, His Lover and he was not giving him up.
Ever.
