Summary:

Choi Han's mouth opened and then closed a couple of times before finally settling on a question.

"Do you not want me by your side?" He asked in an almost painful manner.

He looked quite pitiful like this, similar to a sad pup.

Alberu almost sighed at such useless thoughts.

Instead, he reached for the side of Choi Han's face, cradling his cheek in his gloved hand.

.....

Or knight to be! Choi Han wants to join a tournament but crown prince Alberu isn't letting him participate

..........................................................................................

"My goodness, what have i done? For the brilliant Sword Master and His Highness, the Sun of the Roan kingdom that shines his brilliance onto us to visit this lowly subje—"

"Stop."

"Cale-nim..."

—————————

Sometimes, it's easy to notice only of a mere glance.

A touch that lasted too long or too intimate, A whisper that is too quiet or too distractingly loud, A gaze that is too heavy or too intoxicating.

Words that are too loved to be called a friendly statement.

With a half droopy gaze, his brown eyes lazily follow the two black haired man, unreadable emotions swimming behind his long eyelashes.

Or

Cale notices the glances and words that are too casual to be passed as friendly. Or The Author just want one story where Cale is not so oblivious.

—————————

"Cale?"

"As much as i admire your brilliance and amazing achievements that this lowly one could not ever dare to have-"

"...Cale, get to the point."

"You really sucked at flirting, Your Highness."

A pretty blush spread out endearingly on the blonde's pale skin, an unfortunate thing for the man but a fortunate thing for him to see as the red hue glows very brightly, and adorably if he could point it out, a stark contrast to the man's pale skin.

The man huffed softly, seemingly embarassed yet frustrated of himself for getting confronted like this. Cheeks flushed red in a rare flustered expression on his usually unbreakable prince image. A quirk of faint smirk appeared on the corner of his lips, realizing that no matter how flustered and stubborn his dear crown prince to not look at him, Alberu never denies that yes, he is bad at flirting.

How surprisingly adorable. Cale watches with rapt attention at the fumbling flustered prince in front of him, fascinated at the faces he never imagine plastered on Alberu's face.

Well, this only serves to pile more evidence of 'Yes, His Highness is flirting with me' problem, giving Cale more reason to confront this further.

Thankfully, his hyung nim trusted him enough to drop his guards around him, showing Cale the vulnerable side of him as he sit with tousled and disheveled hair and clothes, uncaring of his appearance as he sat leisurely in front of him.

Surprisingly naive and careless just for Cale. Cale's faint smirk widens just a little behind his hand.

It also made things easier for what he's going to do. After all, it's not like him to not catch these easy solutions dangling in front of hin.

A beautiful smirk curled up now more widely on his lips, lips quirking up as those confused blue sky eyes stares at him in weariness but also cautious fascination. Brown eyes stares back at those bright blue jewel eyes, smirking in the way the sky blue eyes slowly shaking as Cale got closer and closer towards his dear Crown Prince.

His smirk widens before quickly replaced by a faint sly smile as a soft hitch of breath answered him. Alberu's blue eyes are wide as he never expected for his hands to be brushed so gently.

Cale's long fingers moving and making circles slowly and carefully on the man's hand, brown eyes lighting up at the shaking wide dazed eyes and small quivers of the man in front of him. Cale's smile widens before he lowers his head and—

'Cup'

"C-Cale?!"

His smile widens at the high pitched squeal of the man in front of him. Gazing upwards, his eyes brightens at the flushed cheeks and beutifully wide blue eyes staring in shock at him.

Cale chuckles breathlessly and—enjoy the way the hand shakes and a cute muffled small gasp echoes above him— softly said,

"Thankfully, I am quite adequate in that aspect, if i say so myself. If His highness so desire, maybe this lowly one could teach a thing or two, Your Highness?"

And

"Cale-nim, y-you..."

"Mm, what is it?"

Cale smiles lazily at the flushed man next to him. Wide onyx eyes stares back at him with visible distress and mouth agape at his careless response.

Lips opening up and closing repeatedly as the black haired man seemed to be at loss of words on what he just did.

Well, it is not everyday when Cale blatantly lay down on the man's lap and lean back on Choi Han's chest like he's resting on a very sturdy yet comfortable tree, after all.

"Well, You told me to rest."

Cale answered back absentmindedly, seemingly oblivious to what he did as he shifts and pretends to not hear the small hitch of breath behind him.

Truth to be told, Cale knew what he's doing. He knew this was way too blatant and bold of him to do this.

But fuck it.

Because this vicious punk can't really take a hint even though he's the one that started it after all. Cale lose count the many times he tried to subtly hinted that he accepted this puppy like guy's advances after all.

So now, this is the only choice.

Cale is a patient man, but he's sure as hell knew that this guy will took forever and drown in misery of being in one sided unrequited love, even though he's not—unless he advances back, hard.

Seemingly innocent, Cale slightly tilt his head to the side, closer to the man's neck and breathes softly, bangs hiding away the bright glint in his brown eyes as Choi Han's adam apple bobbed up and down in a very obvious shaky manner.

"B-But C-Cale-nim.."

Cale hums back and pretends that he didn't hear the high pitched whine from Choi Han. Cale hides a smile that threatend to take over his lips as the jolt he felt from the guy behind him, intentionally pushing himself backwards in a very cheeky manner. Ignoring once more a hitch of a shaky breath from the flushed mess of guybehind him. He knew he's being too much of a tease but hey, can't he have this after suffering so much?

Deciding to feel bad at the confused wide black eyes that are starting to get teary. Cale sigh before languidly turn his head fully and opened his lips to—

'Bite'

"N-Ngh! Cale-nim?!"

Cale doesnt respond, lips busy nibbling on the soft skin; only stopping before nudging it with his long and sharp nose, brown eyes blank and lazy as if Choi Han didn't feel the wandering hands on his thighs, gently yet eagerly brushing his skin like a kid who wanted ro open his christmas present but still waiting for his parent's confirmations.

Choi Han gasped as the overwhelming feeling dissappear all too fast and too sudden, leaving him reeling and confused.

Mouth agape, All the black haired man could do was stare dumbfoundedly and flusterdly at the stoic yet amused stare of the famous hero.

"C-Cale-nim, what—"

"For your advances, i said my answer loud and clear."

A quirk of a famour familiar smirk tugged up on those pretty lips left Choi Han even more confused. Heartbeats beats louder than it ever have sings in both of his ears

Choi Han could once more, only stared wide eyes and mouth agape, looking like a lovestruck fool he is when the person he always shamefully adores laughs softly, light and soft sound ringing gently in the air.
