Haou and Jehu were exploring and playing in the gardens once again. Jehu was quickly chasing after his friend, until his hand touched the prince's arm and then he laughed.

"Gotcha Haou! Your it!" Jehu then ran off in the opposite direction, hearing his friend laughing and chasing his from behind. After a few moments of running, Haou's arms wrapped around Jehu and he fell into soft grass still laughing. Haou giggled and rolled off Jehu, pecking his cheek lightly. Jehu blushed, and sat up, wrapping his arms around Haou, holding him close. Haou was his best friend since they met, and he knew he loved him. Haou snuggled into the embrace sitting between Jehu's legs with his back facing him.

"Haou?"

"Hm?"

"Can we stay together forever?" Haou turned to him, looking up into his eyes.

"I want to." Haou looked down. "But Daddy says I have to marry a princess and be king. But wanna just stay here with you."

"Will you always love me?" Haou smiled and kissed his cheek.

"No icky girl could ever be better than you Jehu!" Haou said happily, tucking his head under Jehu's chin. Jehu smiled and leaned back so that he and Haou would be laying down. The grass was slightly cool and with the sun beating down on them from between the tree's both of them were happy to relax. Jehu held Haou securely, keeping his laying across his chest, and turning so that half his face was touching the cool grass. Haou's eyes began to drift shut with the soft beating of Jehu's heart in his ear, and it wasn't long before both boys were asleep.

The queen was looking up and down the garden, a slight fear arising in her chest. She hadn't heard them playing for quiet a while and dinner was in a few hours. She fear if something had happened to her son and his friend, though she was beginning to suspect they were a little closer that. She turned into a small grove of peach trees in blossom, before she stared.

The two boys were laying together, Haou resting on top of Jehu and both wore peaceful expressions on their faces. Jehu's arms were loosely wrapped around Haou, and Haou's arms were placed on Jehu's chest as well. With the soft pale pink blossoms floating down around them, she vaguely wondered if it were possible for a painter to do them justice by capturing this moment, this innocence perfectly. She smiled softly, and knew they would awaken soon. And she also knew it was impossible for them to merely be friends for the rest of their lives. The two were perfect for each other in every way she could think of. They fit together perfectly and she could not picture either of them with anyone else after seeing this. Her son was happy with Jehu more than anyone, and all she ever heard about was him. And Jehu was still happy as well, especially for a child who had lost his parents.

And then the queen turned, and left the children to sleep peacefully. And wished she had found a love a pure as their's.

A/N: Well, this story is an odd one. Whenever it is from the children's point of view, it is simple for child normally think this way. When it goes to adults like it will occasionally, and when Haou and Jehu get older (and the chapters get longer) it will be more detailed. Like Children don't really care to say they were laying surrounded by peach blossom tree's. They are really focusing on each other. While the queen described the scene in more detail.

Also, there are multiple 'parts' of the story. This part is currently talking about the childhood of Haou and Jehu. The later parts will probably be much longer than the chapters of this part. Eventually they will mature more and different parts will happen for a large event that takes place. When the parts change, I will label the part in the chapter menu and then there will be different chapters for each part.

Also, I am trying to think of a Japanese name for the King and Queen. If anyone has a suggestion, let me know!
