Several days passed since the assassins attacked. The group had to sleep In that shed for that night. Since then, Eiri was avoiding his protector with any excuse that he could find. He was in complete disbelief of what he just did that day. It was one thing for the younger boy to cry for him, but when he kissed him, that was when things between them got awkward. What could he do from there? It wasn't like he didn't want to. He did but the way it happened seemed like it was meant to happen. But was it really? As a prince he knew that he was supposed to get married and stop the threats of a war. But for some reason, he was unable to get his mind off of a kid who he at first thought was worthless.
While in his room, the blond prince was writing in his tables. He was still wondering why he kissed Shuichi when he did. Even if he wanted to, what if Shuichi didn't? plus it was still difficult for him to believe that anyone could really love him for him and not just his royalty. Maybe it was the real thing, maybe.
I know that I have told you this a few days before. But I still don't believe that that brat can truly care for me. I want to believe that he does, but I also know that he along with all the other men is afraid of my father. Sometimes I wonder, if I weren't next in line for the throne, would he still risk his life for me like he did before. Ever since then, I haven't spoken to him. Not because I hate him or anything, but because I just don't know how I feel about him yet. On one hand, I thought he was nothing more than a worthless runt who I wouldn't give a second glance. But on the other hand, I feel different now. I think that he might be trustworthy. But I just can't fall in love with him. I can't. What if he betrays me like all the others?
Those thoughts trailed his mind while he was in his room. He still was unsure if he could trust anyone after being lied to and abandoned for so long.
After a few hours of recovery, the gang finally gets on another ferry boat to eternias. Hiro and suguru were in their rooms lying comfortably next to each other. Holding each other arm and arm in the bed. They wondered how things would go as they were on this journey.
"I hope that when this is all over that we can finally get married." Hiro said.
Suguru looked into the magicians eyes. He was in such shock and joy of what he heard. Married, me and hiro? I can't believe it. He leaned in and their lips met in a loving kiss.
"I was hoping you would say that." He said happily.
Then they began to lose control of their desires and began to caress one another's bodies. Already half naked Hiro reached under the covers for what appeared to be the psychic's underwear. He then kissed his lover's neck and began to tease him from under the blanket. This made his little lover moan in pleasure.
"mmm… hiro…"
Then without warning, the black haired psychic started to shake severely, almost as if he was having a seizure. And along with that seizure, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and images were popping in his mind.
Image
Pirates jumped on the ferryboat and attacked everyone on board. They captured and slaughtered everyone in plain sight. Then one of the pirates grabbed hold of an unconscious prince Eiri.
End image.
When it was over, Suguru had a horrified look on his face. For as long as he had visions none of his visions have ever been wrong, good or bad. And that was the problem.
"suguru?" Hiro whispered. He saw the distraught look in his lover's eyes.
"I just saw pirates, hundreds of them attacking the ship. And they're going to capture the prince. We have to warn him and master Shuichi." He said. Then he went on to the top deck to warn the royal heir of his vision.
Meanwhile on the top deck, Shuichi woke up to find his prince on the top deck staring out into the ocean. I wonder what he's thinking about. He thought. Then he walked toward the blond prince. Eiri looked at his pink haired protector and tried to walk away but he was then stopped by the boy.
"You're majesty, may I talk to you for a moment?" he asked.
"There is nothing to talk about." Eiri replied. Then he tried to gesture the pink haired rookie away, but was unsuccessful. He had to face the younger man now. There was no avoiding it.
"This better be important." He said harshly. Shuichi tried to remember what he wanted to talk to his prince about but as soon as he tried to ask, he couldn't think of it. Then he remembered the incident with the poison. That was when he remembered what he wanted to ask him about.
"I just want to know," Shuichi began. "… How do you feel about me?"
After hearing that question, all of the prince's thought came to a halt. Sure he did feel somewhat attached to the boy in a way, but he still had some deep trusting concerns about him. After all, he didn't like to get close to people but something about Shuichi was different.
"It's like I said before, we're friends." He responded.
But that wasn't enough. They both knew that somewhere deep down they wanted to be more than friends. However, because of the arranged marriage, it could not happen. But Shuichi wanted them to be more than just friends.
"How can you say that after the other day?" he shouted.
The blond man stepped closer to him; cornering him to the edge of the boat. Then he placed his hand gently on his protector's delicate face.
"I guess that kiss got you confused." He started. "I only did that because…actually I don't know why I did that. But it had nothing to do with me being in love with you or anything like that."
Once he heard that, Shuichi's heart began to break into pieces. He couldn't believe what he just heard. The man that he has grown to fall in love with didn't feel the same way that he did. He thought of him as a friend and nothing more. So he believed.
"But…but I…" he stuttered.
"You what?" he taunted. "Are you going to tell me that you're in love with me? That all of those things you've done were because you really care for me? And that you really want to be my lover? *scoff* don't make me laugh."
"I can't believe you!" the pink haired warrior yelled. "After all that we've been through; you still don't think that I care what happens to you!"
"I know that you care, but not for the reason that you say that you do!" Eiri replied. Then he went back to the lower deck. He still doesn't believe that the man that his father chose to go with him on this journey could really care about him, Just who he's related to. Shuichi just stood out there, wondering if the prince will ever trust him.
I knew it! He thought. The prince still thinks that I am only doing this because of the king. Yes it is my mission to keep him safe but over the course of this journey, I've really grown to love him. I really love him and I want him to believe that. I want him to trust me.
Meanwhile, Eiri was down in the lower deck of the boat when he was approached by a bearded man.
"Where do ye think ye going lad?" he asked. Eiri pushed the bearded man aside.
"Where I go is none of your concern." He said. Then he continued to walk to his room but was soon stopped by a large group of bearded men.
"it looks like this one is a feisty one captain." One of them said.
"I don't know what any of you want, but it better not have anything to do with me." Eiri remarked. Then the men got closer to him. He knew running wouldn't do any good, so he had to fight back. He used his mind to move some heavy objects far enough to hit some of them. But when he did that, things went from bad to worse.
"Alrighty my crew, get this fancy boy!" the pirate ordered. Then they all tried to capture Eiri but many of them were unsuccessful. Eiri fought them off with his psychic and physical abilities. However just when it seemed like it was all over, Eiri was hit in the head and soon everything in his view went dark.
When Hiro and suguru got to the top deck, they saw their friend staring at the ocean in a dazed mood. But they knew that they had to tell him about the vision.
"Master Shuichi," they began. Shuichi turned around and saw his two friends with distraught looks on their faces. Then he knew something bad happened or was going to happen.
"I just had a vision that pirates were attacking the ship and…"
"WHAT? PIRATES!" he shouted. Then he began to go into a supreme panic.
"I'm not done." Suguru said. "I also saw the prince being kidnapped by those pirates."
"so what?" Shuichi shouted. "Why the hell should I care what happens to that bastard?"
"Umm… master, I don't understand." Hiro responded. Then they saw a group of men who appeared to be pirates carrying someone to the top of the deck. Soon they saw that the person was Prince Eiri himself.
Oh, no. He thought. Suguru was right. "What are we going to do?" shuichi shouted.
