Trapped In Hisstory

The silence went on with the three of them staring at Niro with narrowed eyes. His sweat traveled down the side of his face while he turned his head away to avoid meeting their gazes.

Tristan looked at the Royal Aide with hate and pouted, "See? He did not even deny it!" he exclaimed.

Niro scratched the back of his neck, feeling guilty of locking the knight up in that building. He peeked at the glances that Sherin and Alec were giving him and they were shooting him a judgeful look, "I-I swear I planned to get him out the next day!" he said while raising his arms.

Alec glanced at the knight on the ground then returned his gaze to Niro, "Then why did this knight, Tristan, was nowhere to be seen for weeks?" he asked.

"Oh. Well, the thing was…" Niro said and the Valorian Knight saw him avert his gaze once again and laughed awkwardly, "...I forgot."

Sherin and Alec put their hands on their mouths at the same time and Tristan whined, "Stop making fun of me!"

Niro squinted at Alec Valorian, "I am at fault because I forgot, but I put him away to help you, remember?" he said, passing the blame to the Crown Prince's knight.

Alec raised his brow, "What do you mean?"

Tristan nodded as well, eager to know the meaning of his words, "Yes, that is right, what is it that you mean Sir Niro?"

"You do not remember that night? When the Cr-"

Niro could not continue his words when the Valorian Knight emitted a dangerous air around him and gave him a threatening look, "Hm, why did you stop? Go on, continue." he said, despite his words. It gave Niro the opposite vibe as if the Valorian knight was warning him not to continue his words any further.

Sherin took a step closer to the Hawk of Canopus and grabbed him by the arm, "You could have put our lord in danger as well." Sherin whispered at him. Niro almost forgot that the other man they are with right now does not know about the Crown Prince and the Second Prince's relationship.

He sighed, "No, it was nothing." he said and turned to the Antares knight, "I apologize for my mistake. You were locked in that building for so long." he said and bowed, sending his sincere apologies.

Tristan felt a bit awkward for him to apologize so seriously, he scratched his cheek, "Well, I guess I can forgive you..?" he said.

Tristan felt a stare burning a hole on his face, he looked and saw his captain staring at him. Tristan smiled at him, "What is it, Captain? Is something the matter?" he asked but Alec did not respond and removed his gaze from him.

~~~~~

Chance was startled when the man he was hugging broke away from the embrace and rose from his lying position. He trapped him by putting his hands on both sides of the Crown Prince while wearing a smirk.

Chance grabbed both of his cheeks using only one hand and squished it, trying to remove the annoying smirk he was giving him, "Why are you looking at me like that so suddenly?" he asked. The Crown Prince gulped, 'Surely he is not thinking of d-doing something again….right?' he thought.

Caliber chuckled, "I was just surprised and happy that my prince is directly telling me that I am his." he said.

"Eh?" Chance looked at him in confusion. 'I did say that I am his, but never told him that he is mine directly though?' he thought. "Mine..?" 

Caliber tried not to laugh, seeing how confused he was, not even remembering the words he said himself. "That is right, did you not say that 'Caliber is mine'?" he said and gave him a teasing look.

"No..no way! I said that aloud?" Chance blushed, he could remember saying it inside his mind. Now he is afraid that Caliber could actually read his mind.

"'Aloud' huh? So you must be thinking of me quite a lot. Next time you want to say something to me, just say it." he said and his confidence must have skyrocketed, Chance thought. Caliber chuckled, finding his reaction adorable. "You said it subconsciously, you must really like me." 

Chance's lowered gaze slowly looked up to Caliber's eyes that were looking down at him while he was above. He glanced at him shyly, "Of course. I like you very much…" he said.

The two of them are already lovers but saying it still makes him shy. He has to get used to it soon. 

His eyes slightly widened when Caliber's hand went to the back of his waist, pulling him to sit. Chance sat down on Caliber, facing him. Chance squinted when it was too bright, 'Gosh, this is too sparkly, how can you be so handsome…' he thought and placed his hand on his mouth, worried that he might say it aloud again.

Caliber looked up at his lover's face and played with his hair while staring at him, "Say it again."

"Did you not already hear it?"

"I want to hear it again."

"I...like you very much, Caliber," Chance repeated as he tried not to meet Caliber's gaze that would surely turn his whole face red again.

"You used the wrong term."

Chance looked at Caliber, knowing what he meant and his cheeks burned. "I love you very much, Caliber."

The Second Prince's hands that were on his hair slid down to his neck with his thumb caressing Chance's face. "I wonder how much you love me, my prince," he said in a low voice, almost a whisper with their faces close to each other, "I badly want to know."

Chance placed his hands on the shoulders of the Second Prince of Canopus and stared down on his face, "Would you like me to show you, in other ways?" he asked. He was never like this, but he felt like teasing Caliber. Although that was what he wanted, he felt like he was the one being charmed.

Caliber put his lips on his neck and gave it a kiss. He smiled, "Gladly."

Chance felt his body getting hotter even though the weather was perfect. Caliber's kisses on his body sent a tingling sensation, sending trails of electricity in his body. There was no need for them to undress since they were not wearing anything at all, except the sheets that were covering some parts of their body.

His kisses marked every bit of his body, up to his neck and his kisses went up again, going to his lips. Chance responded to his kiss that he cannot seem to reject ever since the first time he met him, he tightened up his hold and arms on Caliber's neck, intensifying the kiss to the point of no return.

Someone knocked at the door of the Crown Prince's chamber, "Your Highnesses?" 

Chance flinched at the familiar voice, the two of them knew that it was Niro but Caliber seemed like he did not want to stop at all. "Hngh-Caliber, there is-" he pulled away and was about to tell him that Niro is there but Caliber captured him in another kiss.

Niro Navarrus knocked once again but even though his knock was loud, the two princes could not respond at all, as Caliber did not give Chance a chance to speak. 

"Are they still asleep?"

"His Highness is already awake by this time." 

"Alright. So they are already awake."

Niro knocked at the door again and as soon as Chance heard the turning of the knob, he pulled away from Caliber.

"YOUR HIGHNESSES!" the Royal aide yelled as he swung the door open.

He froze on the spot with his hands still holding the knob of the open door.

Caliber's hands were holding Chance and they had just pulled away from kissing the moment the door opened.

They stared at Niro who was frozen in his position. Chance was just hit by the realization and his face flushed with red and screamed. 

He flopped down to the bed and hid under the covers in embarrassment. 

Niro shivered when he felt a dark aura emitting from his master's body and he knew that he interrupted a good moment between them. He immediately closed the door and the two knights who had not yet gone inside were confused as to why he closed the door without going inside.

"What happened?"

"Why did you close it?"

The weather is not even that hot but Niro felt sweaty all of the sudden. "E-erm...let us not go inside for a while..."

Alec and Sherin looked at him with furrowed brows. "Why not?"

Caliber clenched his fist and his body was shaking, "NIRO NAVARRUS!"

The three knights' eyes widened, surprised to hear the Second Prince's yell before Niro could even answer Sherin's question.

Niro went behind his partner's back, "Protect me, Sherin." he whispered.

Caliber clicked his tongue, "It was getting good." he mumbled to himself. He stared at the prince hiding under the covers, "I apologize, I will punish that dam-

Chance's hand went out of the sheets and grabbed him, "Do not get mad at him, it is all right." he said, "I just got shy…"

Caliber pouted like a kid sulking about not getting what he wants, "But he interrupted us."

Chance peeked outside of the blanket and smiled, "Well, we could always continue…"

The Second Prince's bad mood vanished and he grinned and jumped on Chance, joining him in the covers.

Thus, Caliber decided not to come out to hunt his aide. Niro sighed in relief, he survived his master's wrath.. 'Prince Charles probably saved me…' he thought.
