Hello! I am incredibly sorry. I started this fic as a mission. A mission to enlarge the AmitixEoleo, yet I abandoned it! I have no one to blame but myself… I was unmotivated, I was going through a difficult time in my life, but I never got myself together to dedicate myself to anything. My uncle died, my grandpa died, and I even lost all of my best friends since I last updated. I was also stressed out by AP classes during school, and I failed the tests. Miserably. But again, I am to blame because I thought I didn't have to dedicate myself to anything anymore, my mission was lost to me and I apologise for not updating this for almost a year.

Thank you to all of the reviews, thank you for all of the love and support and I really appreciate random people text-shouting at me to make this a multi-chapter fic like I promised it would be. I swear, I read all of the reviews in one go and giggled like a pterodactyl. Or what I imagine a pterodactyl would sound like. It motivated me to update. And I have another chapter underway!

Set after the game now, because I don't want to replay the game just to figure out the timeline. Everything is done and over with (and pretend the horrible cliffhanger that I wanted to stab [D:] hasn't happened yet). Eoleo volunteers to ship Himi, and Amiti home. But does Amiti really want to return? Warnings, for the next few chapters: Explicit scenes will be

This fic contains male interactions with another male while naked. In bed. Hints of IsaacxIvan, reference back to Amiti and made-up character named Rama! As a by the way, Rama will never ever appear in this fic, he is just some dude from Ayuthay and will never leave the place or amount to anything. But if you want a mental picture of him, he's tan, has purple hair, and a bit of a goatee... Uh, I just made that all up just now, but that's officially what he looks like!

And sorry for the long author's note!

"Good bye!" Himi waved, her arm extended high above her. She giggled like a small child and smiled wide.

"We won't forget you!" Rief called behind the three descendants of Weyard's heroes, except now they too return home with the same title.

Kraden nodded and put a hand on Rief's shoulder. "It is time we left as well. A lot of Land to cover, a lot of the world to see."

The mousy mercury adept nodded as well and turned to Eoleo. "Are you heading off as well, Captain? If so, we can walk you to where your boat is docked."

"It's alright, I've got two people to ship home after this long journey. Gotta get outta Sveta's hair, too. She's got some Queen stuff to attend to." Eoleo laughed haughtily. He turned to the small, violet Wolf-girl. "We'll miss you, kid. Don't forget to write to us when you get bored."

Sveta nodded and smiled. "Of course I won't! Our friendship runs as deep as the spirit tracks along our Land. I look forward to the replies. We should set an annual date where we all get together again."

"Oh, that would be splendid! I cannot wait for that! C'mon, Eoleo, Amiti, we should be getting home!" Himi hopped in place and made her way south to the coast.

Everyone chuckled at their little Priestess' excitement to return home. Everyone but Amiti, that is. He smiled with a hollow heart, his eyes showed no radiance.

Rief and Kraden headed east while Himi, Eoleo, and Amiti bounded south.

"I'm so happy, I can't wait to get back to Yamata! I miss it so much!" Himi giggled. "Can you guys stay for a night when we get there? I want everyone to hear of our journey. I was never much of a storyteller, but you, Eoleo, could weave them an epic tale!"

"Of course, little one, we'll be happy to share our stories. Ain't that right, 'Miti?" Eoleo wrapped an arm around his mate's shoulders and pulled him close. They stopped in front of the large ship and Amiti looked up at the majestic beauty of Eoleo's pride and joy.

"Hm? Yeah, course. I just can't wait to sleep and eat in a humble home. I'm tired of these inns and the rest that only seems like 9 seconds." Amiti chuckled.

They boarded the ship and set sail for Yamata. It was a 3 day trip that the adventurers sailed in silence, too weary to even keep up old habits of watching for monsters.

Eoleo leaned slightly against the wheel and patiently sailed through calm, boring waters. Himi had told him not to stray too far from land, in case of trouble. It made the trip boring for the Pirate Prince, but it's not like he could argue with the cute little Priestess.

His gaze wandered from the gentle waves to the deck, eyes searching for that beautiful head of blue hair. Strangely, Amiti was nowhere in sight. Instinctively, Eoleo wanted to go down bellow and search for his lovely Adept. But he thought better of it. Maybe Amiti needed time alone! He couldn't interrupt what may be a crucial self-finding deep-thought moment just to calm his nerves! Besides, he was steering a large ship.

Finally, they reached land and hoofed it the rest of the way to Yamata. Himi, all the way jumping and skipping with glee, talked about what she would want for dinner, what food she missed the most, all that sweet jazz.

But Amiti had heard nothing. He was so deep in thought that he didn't even hear Eoleo tell him they were finally in the city. "What's wrong, love? You're really out of it lately." Eoleo said, touching Amiti's hand and lacing their fingers together.

Amiti smiled softly. "Nothing, nothing is wrong, I'm just a bit weary." Himi looked at the two men and frowned. 'I hope nothing really is wrong... I've never seen Amiti's eyes so empty,' she thought, 'I should probably get them to a room so he can rest.'

"C'mon, Amiti needs to sleep." Himi said, leading them to the shrine they had met her parents, Susa and Kushinada.

Kushinada greeted her daughter, her arms open wide and her face gleaming with happiness. Susa stood behind her and smiled as well.

"Welcome, heroes of Weyard. Are you two staying the night?" Susa asked.

"Of course they are! They are as tired as I am, so I invited them into our house." Himi said to her father. "Where is Takeru? And Itsuki?"

"Takeru is still away, but Itsuki should be in the shrine, preparing supper." Kushinada said, hugging her daughter. She turned to the two men. "Susa will happily show you to your rooms."

"Oh, we can bunk, saves room that way. We don't want to be in the way." Eoleo said. "Besides, if we take up two rooms, it will be twice the mess. Amiti over here is a pretty messy guy." He chuckled and ruffled the Mercury Adept's hair.

Amiti looked at his feet, a blush crawling on his face. "I'm not THAT messy, you oaf..."

Susa showed the two men to their shared room and left them. The room had 2 full-sized mattresses and looked like a room built for a brother and sister. One side, which Eoleo quickly claimed, was much darker and decorated with blue fabrics; while the side Amiti took was adorned with brighter fabrics. He didn't complain, though. He was tired, he felt... Empty. He plopped down on his side and sighed heavily. He just wanted to close his eyes and sleep everything away.

Eoleo looked at Amiti from his bed. "Hey... Tell me, what's been bugging you? You're usually not this sullen." Amiti shrugged. Eoleo didn't really appreciate that 'reply'.

He got up and sauntered over to Amiti's bedside and knelt down on his knees. Amiti had his back to his lover and Eoleo sighed at this. "C'mon, 'Miti, don't be difficult with me."

"I'm not being difficult." He muttered.

"Then what makes you this saddened?" Eoleo asked. "Have I done something? Have I NOT done something? Please, just tell me, Amiti. Please talk to me.."

Amiti turned over onto his back and stared straight u at the ceiling, only seeing Eoleo through his peripherals. "Do you love me?"

"More than my ship and soul." Eoleo reached for Amiti's hand, and laced their fingers together.

"Will what we have end once you return to Champa and I to Ayuthay?" Amiti's eyes brimmed with tears.

"Of course not!" Eoleo said, gripping the small, princely hand. "Oh, Amiti, is this what has saddened your heart?"

With his free arm, Amiti covered his damp eyes. He nodded and sobbed. "I don't wish to leave your side, I don't wish to return to Ayuthay and be judged again!"

Eoleo crawled into the bed and wrapped his arms around Amiti, turning him so his face was buried in his chest. "Amiti..."

Amiti curled into the broad chest and he tried so hard not to rub his eyes into the fabric of Eoleo's tunic. "Amiti, look at me..."

He shook his head, but stopped as Eoleo tapped a finger to his lover's chin. "Please?"

Amiti's cerulean eyes glistened with tears, darkened with insecurities. "Love, listen to me... I was waiting.. waiting until we had returned to the ship and sailed away from here, but this is something I need for you to hear: Will you return to Champa with me? I want you to meet my mother, my grandmother, my people. They will welcome you in open arms!"

Amiti Felt his heart ache. Oh, this joy that Eoleo brought to him! He brought his hands to his eyes and rubbed them dry.

"Amiti, will you marry me?" Eoleo dug into his pocket and presented his lover with a ring, forged from mythril silver, crowned with a diamond-cut aquamarine gem. "This.. was given to me by my father. Something I should give to the one I love."

Amiti nodded and smiled. "Yes, I'll marry you, you gentle brute!" He wrapped his lithe arms around Eoleo's large neck and kissed him softly. "I'm so sorry, I doubted our love..."

"No, never be sorry for anything, Amiti." Eoleo kissed his fiancé's damp cheekbone. "I blame myself for not saying I love you enough. I had assumed saying it when needed was alright, but no, you're a Pisces, aren't you. You need to hear it to believe it, more than once. I love you Amiti, and that will never change, even if we fight, even if we choose never to see each other again, I will always love only you."

Amiti snuggled closer to the Mars Adept. His body radiated pure warmth of the sun; his taut skin, though marred by countless battles and ruthless fights, was like a fortress that enraptured Amiti's entire being. Comfort. That is the feeling that was missing. He needed comfort.

Amiti looked up, cerulean eyes meeting crimson ones. "Like a ship, our love will continue to careen as life goes on. But I know you will be here by my side to keep us going. I love you, Eoleo"

So, I have been wondering. Does anybody know a good site where I can put the explicit chapters on? I appreciate the fact that all of you want a full-on lemon, but I just can't bring myself to break the NO MA RATING ALLOWED rule on FF. I just can't do it!

If anybody would like to those certain parts, you're going to have to tell me where to put it! Please and thank you :D
