Was this a huge mistake? Probably yes.Bora thought as he wore his pastel blue, made of the finest silk, shirt and pushed his hair back. He looked at himself in the mirror and frowned. He was definitely handsome. With his brown locks landing like clouds on his shoulders and his gem like eyes looking at his reflection with a questioning look.
What had he done? Yes, he wanted to annoy Jeongguk. Very much indeed but scheduling a date with his brother and nonetheless the Disee Prince was social suicide. Yugyeom immediately after Bora had accepted had ran to his father all smiles and happy to tell him that he accepted, meaning that now all the kingdom knew.
It was going to be fine, they would leave in a few days anyway and this whole thing would be like it never happened. He was disappointed though, with Jeongguk reaction. He had hidden from him his origins, his family and on top of that he didn’t stop him when he accepted the date, he just insulted him and disappeared. Bora was aware that the shadow man was filled with pride but he had hoped his feelings would overcome that. Maybe he was asking too much from a man he had met a few times and just for a few days. Maybe their feelings were not the same and he had been naïve thinking that this was more than a carnal relationship…a past time activity for his free time.
Trying to push his sorrow away since he knew he would have plenty of time to cry and eat a bunch of sweets made by the palace chef later he got out of his comfortable room and walked down the wide staircase where Yugyeom waited for him, holding a bouquet of pretty rose roses.
“You came” He said like he almost wasn’t expecting him to arrive.
“Of course I did”Bora said as he walked down the stairs and gave him a small smile “So what have you planed for the day?”
“First of all this is for you” He told him and handed him the pretty flowers. He was cute in an unexpected way, awkward with his movements and his cheeks were a flushed pink color, almost matching the shades of the soft petals. “I thought we could have a picnic at the lake. I disturbed your time yesterday. I am very sorry about that”
“It’s alright. You don’t have to apologize; I was a bit mean too…I’m sorry for avoiding you”
“Oh, that. It’s fine. I am glad you agreed.” He said and began walking. “Shall we?” He asked him and both of them left the great hall and then the strict palace walls and began strolling in the main village.
The sun had only just begun to set and still the markets and squares were filled with people talking, shouting and moving around in a hurry. Bora loved the tension that was contradicting the almost always quiet palace. It seemed like the whole place was oozing with life and joy and he enjoyed the pretty colors from the magic lights at the top of shop’s roofs that twinkled gold and silver. They were mesmerizing.
While they walked they just engaged in simple small talk about how was their day or about palace business. Yugyeom nagged a bit about his father and how strict he was and he seemed to avoid vividly talking about his brother what he had said about them yesterday.Bora was itching to know though but still he couldn’t find the courage to ask. They reached the lake where he had prepared a magnificent dinner. A vivid red blanket was on the dump grass at the sore of the dark lake and on top of it was a basket with cheese, wine and fruits. Everywhere around them little light infused with magic where floating in the air imitating fireflies. Bora was awed, he had never expected something like this.
“Did you do all this?” he asked him and Yugyeom nodded shyly
“It took me a while, but you know I prepared everything by myself. I hope it fits your tastes.” He told him and signaled him to sit down first.
If Jeongguk stayed would their nights be like that? Drinking wine and laughing under the stars? He highly doubted it and he looked around him feeling happy but at the same time incomplete. Was this really what he wished for? Calmness and stability? He wondered and he couldn’t stop thinking about it resulting in him drinking four full glasses of wine. He wasn’t drunk but definitely a bit tipsy. Yugyeom hadn’t noticed it the way he idolized him and he was thankful for that. They were talking nonstop and it wasn’t really a boring meeting until their conversation came to a sudden halt.
An elf dressed with the classic fashion of the Disee Tribe appeared running towards Bora and whispered something in his pointy ear, making his red eyes widened in shock and he stood up.
“He did what?”
“What happened?”Bora asked and at first Yugyeom seemed hesitant to reply but as his look became stern the younger elf gave in.
“They spotted my brother at a brothel”
“At a what?”
“A brothel, ***** house, prostitution institute …you know”
“Yes, yes I understand” Bora said feeling a sudden anger rise in him. Is this how he was going to be? He would replace him so easily with a ***** just because Bora wanted to see him go after him.
“Someone needs to get him back my lord, the reputation of the royal family…” The servant began saying and Bora interrupted him.
“I will go.”
“But…”
“I will go and you will return at the palace and speak nothing of this. Am I clear?” he asked them and both men bowed as he ordered them.
Bora was flushed from the wine, his face red and he loosened his shirt undoing a few buttons at the top feeling hotter as the anger inside him took over. He quickly teleported to the only brother he assumed Jeongguk would be, leaving behind him a bright light and specs that looked like golden stardust and he stumbled at the brothel. He felt a bit tipsy as he entered and shocked everyone with his appearance.
“Where is the man with the purple eyes?” he asked them strictly and the girl in front of him pointed at privet room. That bore wished to also be alone.
Bora stomped his feet and entered the room witnessing a very beautiful young girl dressed with very few clothing, her chest fully exposed sitting on his lap and kissing his neck while the smoke of his cigarette flowed in the room.
“You! Out!”Bora shouted and the girl was ready to fight until she locked eyes with him. Immediately she covered herself and while bowing awkwardly she started running out.Bora kicked the old wooden door closed as he stood in the tacky room. It had too much red and velvet. A big beg and a fire place. In front of the bed was a red velvet couch where Jeongguk was sitting. He smiled at him, the cigarette enveloped by his full lips.
“Did you come here for a **** too?” He asked him with a mean grin.
“You are vulgar”
“Well that’s who I am baby. You prefer kids like my brother more don’t you? The ones who bring you flowers and set you up nice dinners” he told him and stood up. He threw his cigarette on the floor and stepped on it with his boot turning it flat. “You look quite sexy like this, did my brother kiss you? Did he touch you?” He asked him and approached him, placing his palm on the wall trapping him between it and his perfect body.
“Do you even care?”Bora asked him back as he tried to escape but Jeongguk grabbed his neck and smacked him back into the wall. He wasn’t hurting him but he didn’t remove his arm even when Bora showed no indication of moving.
“Do I? Aren’t you supposed to belong to me?” he told him and Bora raised his eyebrow and with a swift move changed their positions. He was fast and now Jeongguk was pinned on the wall.
“Don’t get too cocky. I do not belong to anyone and especially to someone who comes and go as he pleases, I am the future king and you’re just…. a bastard” He insulted him and Jeongguk scoffed. Pushing him back strongly the young elf landed on the bed with the shadow caster hovering over him. He placed his knee between Bora’ legs and the boy flinched beneath him.
“You weren’t that high and mighty when you were moaning beneath me. Begging me for more?” he whispered in his ear, his breath landing on his neck.Bora was starting to feel hot, his whole body was burning up. “You’re drunk aren’t you?”
“I could ask the same to you”
“Oops, you caught me” He said and looked at him in the eyes, their lips slightly touching as he spoke. “Don’t let anyone else touch you, never again”
“I will do whatever I want”Bora said “I won’t be staying faithful to a man who went to a ***** when he was displeased”
“All these years. All I had been thinking, even when I was away, was you. This is not fair”
“I guess your feelings were not enough to stay then”Bora said and pushed him back with his leg, making him lose his balance and fall to the floor.
“Don’t fucking say that! You don’t know the shit I’ve been through just to see you, just to have some time with you. I fucking love you. From the first time I laid eyes on you all I could think was you! What you’re doing to me it’s so messed up. I am dying watching you go with the person I will never be. A royal, someone worthy of you. You think that’s easy for me. I am just a bastard son. What good would come from me being with you? I told myself that I wouldn’t allow myself to be swayed by emotions. I’ve been taught ever since I was young not to be greedy, nothing belongs to me. But when I saw you….” He said and approached him pinning him once more on the bed, holding down Bora’ hand with his own “…shit I knew I was screwed because all I could ever think of was making you mine, having you beneath me telling me that you want me. I dreamed of you like a freaking child and honestly I never wanted someone so much as you. I wanted to eat you up, devour you and have you begging me to stop. I wanted to make you cry from pleasure. I thought it was just because you were beautiful but you are so much more and I found myself lusting for you even more.”
While he was talking Jeongguk was looking at Bora with a burning look and he was panting, like a beast as he admired Bora’ image. How he was flushed with his hair disheveled on the red velvet sheets and how his shirt was showing his perfect skin. He wanted him, desperately.
“You are a hypocrite hiding behind your finger.”Bora spat at him and he smiled.
“Yes but you…really want me to take you right now don’t you?”
“Shut up” Bora said and looked away, he needed to avoid his lustful eyes so he could save himseld, he didn’t want to surrender.
“You’re hard” He whispered in his ear and the golden prince felt like he would melt.
