"Get Otunga in here now." Hunter yelled and everyone in the room scrambled out. Hunter turned and looked at Bret and Bret shrugged. It was ten o'clock on a Saturday morning. Normally, everyone would be still sleeping, especially after the party last night, but the king had awoken all of his close staff earlier that morning. He was sending them all on a hunt to find the two blondes that captured his and Bret's hearts last night.

Hunter ran his fingers through his long blonde hair. "How hard it two find two men?" Hunter asked Bret, frustrated. Bret got off of the couch and went over to his friend.

"I don't know." Bret shook his head. "We have some on the best spies, trackers, and private investigators on the world and yet we can't find them.

"They did say they weren't from around here…what if they went back to their home place last night?" Hunter suggested.

"We should still be able to find them." Bret said.

"Majesty, General." Otunga said and bowed as he entered the room.

"Otunga, what have you got?"

"Nothing your majesty." Otunga said. "We're running the names that they came me but nothing is coming up in the recent records."

"What names did they give you?" Hunter asked.

"Sir Charles and Andrew of San Antonio."

Bret started laughing out loud and Hunter ran his fingers threw his hair and rubbed his face.

"Oh God." Hunter sighed.

"What?" Dave asked. He didn't know what was so funny.

"Obviously history is not your subject." Bret said as he recovered from his fit of giggles. "Sir Charles and Andrew of San Antonio were twin brothers and co-generals of the army when the king's great great grandfather was on the throne."

"In short." Hunter looked at Otunga. "They gave you fake names." Hunter yelled and walked to the other side of the room. He was so mad that he could just punch David.

"Did you get them on any of the security cameras?" Bret asked. David nodded.

"We got them when they entered, and when they were in the ballroom, and when they were outside with you and his majesty but that's it. They don't show up on any of the other cameras." David answered and Bret patted his shoulder.

"Alright, well keep trying everything else." Bret told him and David left.

Hunter looked up at the sky through the window. He reached down in his pocket and took out the cross. "What if it was just a dream?"

"A dream that multiple people shared?" Bret questioned and resumed his position on the couch as he pulled the earring out of his pocket.

"Don't question the logic." Hunter said and chuckled. He unclasped the necklace and put it around his neck and clasped it back.

Bret hooked the earring on the pocket of his jacket and stood up. "Come on, we have to go to the finance meeting." Bret and Hunter walked out of Hunter's office and to the meeting. They would resume their search afterwards.

Brian put his arm around Shawn as they walked down the long hall. They were both laughing and giggling as they talked about last night. Last night was amazing for the both of them and they had so much fun but today was another day. Another day of work and grind but they were feeling great and prepared for it.

"What's going on?" Shawn asked as he saw some intelligence personal run past them.

"I don't know…you think a security breech?" Brian suggested and Shawn shrugged. He wasn't sure. Brian looked up and saw Dolph coming down the hall and stopped him.

"Hey, what's going on? Why is everybody running?"

"You haven't heard?" Dolph question as he walked up to them. Shawn and Brian shook their heads no. "Well, last night, the king and his bestie the general met these two guys. They have sent everyone on a wild goose chase trying to find these guys."

"Really!" Shawn gasped and Dolph shook his head.

"Yep, these guys are lucky to have captured the king's and general's hearts. I don't know why they're hiding though. It's awfully weird." Dolph.

"Yeah, it is." Brian says. "Thanks Dolph." Brian says and he along with Shawn walk off in the opposite direction.

"Oh my God." Brian said.

"Yeah, they're looking for us…I thought we told them not to." Shawn explains. "Was yesterday opposite day or something?"

"I don't know but I do know this, they can not find out about us."

Shawn looks down the hall and gasps.

"What?" Brian looks up. "Oh shit." Brian says as he sees the king and the general walking towards them.

"What are we going to do?" Shawn asks and Brian looks around. There was no place to hide. Brian grabbed Shawn's hand and pulled him to the side.

"Bow, deeply." Brian said and they both bended over more than ninety degrees, letting their hair cover their faces.

As Hunter and Bret walked pass them, they greeted them as they were told to. "Your majesty, General." In return, they received a nod.

Hunter and Bret resumed their conversation after they had greeted the two servants and walked down the hall before stopping were they stood and turned around. They two men were gone.

Hunter pointed. "Wasn't there just two guys right there?"

"And didn't they sound familiar?" Bret looked up at Hunter and they both shook there heads. Bret patted Hunter on the back.

"I think the lack of sleep is getting to us." Bret said as the walked along.

Brian and Shawn peeked out from behind the massive pillar. When Hunter and Bret had rounded the corner, the resumed their walking.

"We can't live like this." Shawn stated and Brian agreed.

"Yeah, I almost had a heart attack."

"We have to do something." Shawn suggested.

"Hey." Brian said. "Do we have anymore mask materials left?"

"Yeah, why?"

"I have an idea." Brian said. "Yeah, I have an idea but I don't know if it'll work."

"We have nothing to loose." Shawn sighed.

"OK, after work, we'll start."

The day had come and gone and night had arrived. Hunter looked out of the window in his office. The sky wasn't as clear tonight and there were no stars. Was it mocking him? Was last night really just a dream? They hadn't found a trace of the little blonde that had stolen his heart in such a short time. Hunter laid his head down on the desk and sighed. He didn't know what else to do. He had the best intelligence team in the world and yet they couldn't find one, well, two people.

Brian quietly opened the door to Hunter's office and stepped in. He kept the door open and walked into the room as saw Hunter. He was sitting at his desk with his laid on top of it. He was sighing heavily. Brian took a deep breath and approached the king as silently as he could. Once he was right in front of the king's desk, he took his right hand and reached out and touched the back of his head.

Hunter's head shot up off of the table, his defenses up, he was ready to attack whoever touched him but stopped when he saw the mask. The beautiful white mask made with white sequins with white feathers sticking out of it and his blonde hair falling over parts of the mask. Hunter relaxed and smiled up at his little blonde.

"Why so tense?" Brian asked.

Hunter smiled brighter. "I'm not anymore."

"Why were you before?"

"I was looking for you." Hunter confessed and Brian sighed.

"I was afraid you'd say that." Brian said and nodded.

"Why?" Hunter stood up and walked around his desk so he could stand in front of his lover.

"You have to stop looking for me…you'll only end up with a broken heart." Brian stepped back. "You don't deserve that."

"What do you mean? Stop speaking in riddles." Hunter said and closed the gap between them.

"We can't be together. I'm not of this world." Brian said and pointed at Hunter. "Of your world. They would never accept me."

"They?"

"Your court." Brian answered.

"Don't worry about them. I am their leader. They follow me. If we were to marry, the only option for them would be to accept it."

Brian shook his head. "I'm not stupid. I know more about politics than you think. You may be the leader but you need the others to control your people. If we were to marry, the could easily start a revolt." Brian said and Hunter didn't respond. It had happened before. When his father married his mother, many people didn't like it and tried to start uprisings but most of them fell through when people saw how wonderful of a queen his mother was.

"I know you are thinking of your parents." Brian started, knowing the history of the two. "But that was a totally different situation." Mainly because Hunter's mother was a prince in his home country and people were more willingly to accept that than a peasant.

"How so? How do you know that?" Hunter said as he moved closer to Brian. "People are more willingly to accept things now."

"People, but not the important ones." Brian started. "I have to go now, I don't know if I'll be back so stop looking for me." Brian said and started to leave but Hunter grabbed his wrist and pulled him close to his chest.

"I'm not letting you go, not this time." Hunter said and Brian gasped. He did not factor this into the equation.

"Hunter, you have to let me go." Brian said as he struggled out of the grip.

"No, I don't."

"Yes, you do." Brian answered. He didn't want to have to hurt Hunter but he would to preserve his identity. "If you don't let go of me, something really bad is going to happen to you." Brian meaning that in a physical and emotional sense.

"Nothing bad could come of this." Hunter as he leaned down to kiss Brian. Brian couldn't let this happen. He couldn't become attached so he stomped on Hunter's foot and as soon as Hunter let him go, he took off running.

"Ow!" Hunter screamed as he felt his little blonde's foot land on his own with unimaginable force. He let go of his blonde and grabbed his foot and before he could look up, he was gone. He had ran out of the room. Hunter limped out of the door and looked to his left and to his right. No one was in the hall.

"Damn it!" Hunter screamed. His lover had run away again. Hunter fingered the cross on his neck. "I'll find you."

Bret was looking over maps and plans of different countries. They weren't in any conflicts right now but he always made sure he knew the terrain just in case something did happen. He picked up his notepad and went over new tactics he would present to the troops tomorrow. He tired to say focus on the task at hand but his mind wouldn't let him. His mind kept wondering back to the beautiful creature he had met at the party last night. In his all white suit and his white mask, he looked like the purest of angels. He was so close. He had against the wall, in his clasp, then that bitch Sunny had to come and ruin everything. Bret sighed. He couldn't blame it all on Sunny. She didn't know what she was doing.

Shawn peeked around the door and saw Bret, while he saw Bret's back. There were maps and papers scattered all around. It looked like he was doing work, maybe working on strategies. Shawn crept up behind him and leaned over his shoulder so discreetly that Bret didn't notice. Shawn looked at the plans, he was correct. It was some type of military plan. Shawn looked over it before placing his lips close to Bret's ear and whispering, "Shouldn't your mechanized infantry be in front?"

Bret jumped almost a mile out of his seat when he felt the hot air against his ear but when he recognized the voice he settled back down. Bret turned his head so he could look at his angel. He was wearing another white mask but this time, there was a gold cross on the nose of the mask and gold feathers sticking out of it.

"What do you know about infantry?"

"I know you have a better chance with them in front." Shawn answered. Bret stood up and Shawn stepped back but Bret grabbed his hand and pulled his close.

"I'm so glad you came back."

"I'm not here for long…I just had to give you a message." Shawn started. "I've heard you've been looking for me."

"I have." Bret said. "I've been using all of my resources."

"Stop it." Shawn said and Bret was taken back.

"Excuse me."

"Stop looking for me." Shawn said again.

"What? Why?"

Shawn sighed. "I wear a mask because if you knew the real me, you wouldn't like what you saw…what you knew, no one would."

"How do you know that? You've never showed me your face." Bret reached for the mask but Shawn slapped his hand away.

"Just stop." Shawn said and stepped back. "I used to be apart of this world but now I'm not…and I'll never fit in again…I'll never come back. So save yourself the heartbreak and pain and just stop." Shawn said and ran out of the room.

"Wait, not again." Bret groaned and ran after Shawn. Shawn disappeared around the corner and Bret followed him but when he made the left turn, his angel was no where to be found. Bret looked around but saw no one. "I'll find you again."

Shawn walked in to his shared quarters with Brian. When he got there Brian was already laying on his bed in his night clothes. Shawn stripped himself of his outfit and slipped into his night clothes and laid next to Brian.

"How'd it go?" Shawn asked.

"Good. You?"

"Good…we did the right thing right? They won't be led on now? This is good right?" Shawn question.

"Yeah, it's the right thing to do."

"Then why do I feel so…"

"Depressed?"

"Yeah." Shawn sighed.

"Because somewhere along the way." Brian looked at his friend. "We fell too."
