Haruka had been in the palace for a few days now and had adapted quite quickly. He had been given access to the pools in the castle, and was told he was going to be a Harem slave. Haruka hadn't really known what it meant til Rin told him...and showed him. Haruka sinks down into the water so only his eyes were above it, as the memory comes back.

"Harem Slave?" Haruka asks, sitting on the bed with little clothing on and looking at the prince confusedly. "Never heard that term before?" Rin asks, smirking and pushing Haruka onto his back and hovering over top of the slave. Haruka just looks at the marooned hair man above him curiously. "Short version is you're here to give me sexual pleasure." Rin murmurs into Haruka's ear and the black haired boy turn a fair shade of red. Haruka bites his lower lip to keep himself from saying something stupid. Rin starts kissing down Haruka's neck, slowly stripping the male below him then pulling off his own clothing.

"What are you thinking about?" Rin asks, sitting on the edge of the pool and Haruka looks up at him. "Nothing." Haruka mumbles, and sinks further into the water. Rin rolls his eyes and dives in, several trinkets and pieces of clothing falling off him as he swam over to Haruka. "What are you trying to hide?" Rin murmurs as he pulls Haruka against him. "Nothing." Haruka mutters again.

"Supper is going to be served soon." Rin says, and lets go of Haruka and starts floating on his back. Haruka does the same and floats alongside Rin. "Is there a reason you'd be unhappy about it?" Haruka asks, staring at the beautifully decorated ceiling. " I don't get to be around people I like?" Rin says in a questioning tone. "You're always around people you don't like for supper though." Haruka states, then sinks below the water and swims to the edge. Rin swims over and pulls himself up onto the ledge while Haruka stays in the water. "Father is having friends over. And by Friends I mean kings from nearby kingdoms." Rin says, sighing. "Cherepakha, Vidra, Bezlotek, and Hoonbaro right?" Haruka asks, looking up at the Maroon haired man. "Yeah, the King from Hoonbaro and father are very close. He's suppose to have a son, but no one has seen him in like 5 years." Rin says, shrugging. "So the prince is a shut in." Haruka says, and floats away. Then stops and stands up "I can stay here, right?" "No." Rin says, shooting down the mans hopes to stay out of it. "If I have to suffer through those suppers, you do to." Rin says and Haruka sinks below the water so only his eyes were above it. "Also I need someone to fake an injury so I can leave early." Rin adds, smiling and Haruka's pout turns into a glare.

"What has your prince done to deserve such a harsh look?" A voice asks from behind both of them and Haruka instantly sinks into the water fully and swims behind the large gold fountain in the middle of the pool. "Father, what are you doing here?" Rin asks, turning back to face his old man. "I am simply showing the others around the castle. Never knew your servant was shy." The king says, and several other men, dressed in equally fancy robes are seen behind the Requin King. "Neither did I. He's probably not used to so many people at once." Rin says, smiling back at his father. "I suppose, those he's never been shy before. I can tell you for fact he has no problem walking around naked..." The King says and several others raise their eyebrows. "Yeah, that's why I have either Aiichiro or Sousuke following him with a towel, or clothes." Rin says, shaking his head and Haruka just shrugs in response. "Well, it'll be pleasant when you both join us for supper clothed." Rin's father says, putting emphasis on them being clothed then left with the other kings.

"So, even the King expects me to go?" Haruka whines lightly, still hiding. "Why are you being shy?" Rin asks, raising an eyebrow at the suddenly shy male. "No Reason." Haruka mumbles and swims over to the edge again. "We should probably get dressed." Rin says and Haruka nods solemnly and gets out of the water. "You seriously need to fix the obsession with water." Rin says as the two go back to the Prince's room. Haruka being naked since he swims naked.

After a bit of Haruka pouting and being difficult, Sousuke and Seijuro manage to get Haruka clothed and walked with him and the prince while Haruka was being pouty and depressed. "I think he got too used to being in water that he hates being out of it." Sousuke whispers to Seijuro who chuckles quietly. "I think he was like this before." Seijuro whispers back. "I don't think I'm a topic of discussion." Haruka mutters, walking in front of the pair but behind the Prince.

Haruka stands in between the Sousuke and Seijuro off to the side during the Royal dinner. Rin was the only prince there. So Rin was really uncomfortable and annoyed with everyone around him. He went ignored but everytime he'd try to get away his father would catch him and hold him close. "So, how's the trade in Vetgans?" The Requin King asks the Bezlotek King. "All in order. My son has it very organized and sorted." The Bezlotek King says, chuckling lightly. "It's sad he could not join us." The Requin King says and The King of the Western country shrugs. "Kilpikonna is as busy as always and as confusing. " The Cherepakha King says and the others chuckle. "It always has been, has it not? The Busiest country in the world." The Vidra King says, chuckling and The Cherepakha King nods and laughs in response. "Yes, the most populated as well. Wherever you go, you will always be in a mob." The King of the Northern country says, and continues laughing. "Suvsar is as happy as it can be." The King of Vidra says, smiling still. "Vidra has very little poverty does it not?" The Hoonbaro King asks and The King of the Southern Nation nods. "My Son has been managing the economy quite well. He is quite kind and generous." The Vidra king says, smiling as if lost in a fond memory. "Speaking of sons, how is yours?" The Requin King asks, turning to the Hoonbaro King. "He is fine. Happy as ever and stubborn too." The King says chuckling. "Reminds you of anyone?" The Vidra King asks and the King of the Eastern country rolls his eyes "I was not that bad." The Hoonbaro King says and the others chuckle. "You refused to go to meetings for almost 9 years." The Vidra king states and The Hoonbaro king shrugs "They didn't mean much to me when I was a prince. They mean more now, but only slightly." The Hoonbaro King says and others start laughing and Rin inaudibly groans. He'd give anything to be anywhere else.

"I am never going to one of those again." Rin grumbles as he and Haruka walk to the Prince's room. Rin had ordered the guards to do something else. "When will you be forced to go to another one?" Haruka asks as they near the Prince's room. "Tomorrow." Rin mumbles with a pout. "Can you feign sickness? I have known a prince to do that to get out of meetings." Haruka says, looking up at the architecture on the ceiling. "You've worked in a palace before?" Rin asks and Haruka nods, then they arrive at the Prince's room. "I'd need the doctor on my side." Rin says as the two of them go into the Prince's room. "Maybe I could get Sousuke to bribe him." Rin thinks out loud. "Why not simply explain that listening to those suppers gives you headaches?" Haruka suggests, standing by the bedside table as Rin flops onto the bed. "Mm, that might work." Rin says then pulls Haruka down and holds him tightly. "You're warm." Rin mumbles and drifts off to sleep while holding a blushing Haruka against his bare chest.

The countries and their capitals are just animals in different languages;

Just in case it's confusing; the first name is the country, then the second is the Capital

Requin + Akula =Shark

Hoonbaro + Arroaz =Dolphin

Vidra + Suvsar =Otter

Bezlotek + Vetgans =Penguin

Also, I'm going to try to make each chapter at least 1000 words
