Chapter Two The Exit
When Seishirou opened his bedroom door, he saw the boy he had requested curled up on his floor shivering. As he approached him, the boy looked up at him.
"Do lots of people suffer here? Is that why they're unhappy all the time?"
Amber eyes widened in…what was the term the people from the other side used? Oh right, surprise. This boy was trapped in ruler of the darkness bedroom and he was concerned about others?
"No one suffers here because no one knows what emotions as you call them, are. "
"That's got to be the worst of all then! A world without emotions most be horrible!"
"To someone like you, yes, to someone like me, no, I've never felt an emotion in my life."
"Why did you bring me in here? I've heard of you, you're Prince Seishirou, the Prince of Darkness that brings citizens from the City of Light to be slaves here."
Seishirou didn't answer, he merely sat back on his bed, twirling his crown around his finger. Finally after a moment he spoke, "Come here."
Too afraid of angering the Prince of Darkness, the young boy padded over, his bare feet pattering across the black carpet. He stood in front of the Prince of Darkness, green eyes wide in wonder.
"What's your name?"
"Subaru." The lip quivered, he wished the prince would look at him.
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen." At this amber met emerald. "You don't look sixteen, my brother's sixteen, you look ten."
Subaru managed a laugh. "My brother said that all the time and we're twins." A pause. "May I ask Your Highness how old he is?"
"You're a polite one, usually most people tell me to go burn in hell, but I'm twenty-three."
"Why would they tell you to burn in hell?"
Who on earth was this kid? Why was he so calm? "Let's just say most people don't exactly like me, they hate me, not that I personally care."
"Why? You don't seem that bad."
A sly smirk on the prince's face. "Close your eyes Subaru and stay still."
"O-Okay."
The distance between them narrowed until lips met lips. The kiss was sloppy and there was no passion behind it. Subaru whimpered when he felt a tongue push into his mouth. They pulled away and Subaru was left there staring.
"Hmm, yes, I think I'll keep you around, you do behave so nicely." Seishirou stretched out on his bed. "Tomorrow I'll have you fitted for a crown and gown.
"W-W-hat?"
"I think I'll keep you here as my princess. If nothing changes how I feel after a set time, then you're a slave, if something changes, then we'll take it from there. Another words, Subaru, I'm giving you a chance to try to show me what's so great about feeling emotions."
Subaru nodded before sitting on the floor to curl up to go to sleep.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to go to sleep, Your Highness, I am allowed, right?"
"Yes, but get on the bed."
The teen flushed as he forced himself onto the bed. He knew the Prince of Darkness had strong magical powers and didn't want to be on the warpath of them, he had powers of his own, but as he was in the Kingdom of Darkness, his magic wouldn't work as well. He stayed on his side of the bed, as far away from the young prince as he could.
It seems he had just closed his eyes when there was a pounding on the door, it caused him to jump with a panic and he forgot where he was. He was scared of the darkness so he attached himself to the only other living thing in the room, Prince Seishirou. The prince didn't fling him away nor did he hold onto him.
"Enter."
"Forgive me if I'm interrupting my lord."
"You're not Kyle, get on with it."
"Well you see, your brother's missing."
