{ Summary } Ā "We do know how to play with your toys without breaking them, you know." the green-skinned fae whined defensively. He seemed to realize as soon as he finished speaking that he had said the wrong thing.Ā
{ Summary } Judalās trips to and from school seemed to last much longer than they had before. Hakuryuu was sure he was imagining it at first, pining like some love struck child, but after a while he began to notice a pattern. In the mornings, Judal left with his usual kiss and lopsided smile, his bag slung over one shoulder, energetic. When he returned, he was far more sluggish, slightly distracted, and his bag always seemed heavier.

{ Summary } Ā It was always like this, on mornings when reality seemed unreal, as if Hakuryuu could tell that he was drifting between what was and was not without a tether.
Judal stopped stirring, a smile curling his mouth as a second kiss was laid against his hair.
{ Summary } Judal had been on edge that evening. He spoke of feeling watched as he came home, as if eyes passed over him constantly, combing across him, trying to peel away his skin. Hakuryuu cooked a light dinner and ushered him to bed early. Before he left the apartment, he pressed his fingers to his hostās door and whispered wards into the wood. Just in case.
19.Ā things you said when we were the happiest we ever were
āAnju, you ever want kids?ā
Anjuās laugh was quick and sharp, cutting through the afternoon air and ringing in Hakurenās ears. Heād heard people call it a violent laugh before, but heād always found it refreshing.
āMe?ā Anju scoffed, leaning back on his hands.Ā āHellĀ no. Iām not father material on my best day, and you know I donāt have many of those.ā
Hakuren elbowed the assassin for his comment, and Anju laughed again, just as sharp as before. He sat up again and flung an arm around Hakurenās shoulders.
āBesides, Iāve got you little monstersĀ to keep a track of, donāt I?ā
āIām not a kid, Anju!ā
āYeah, yeah.ā he ruffled the princeās hair affectionately.Ā āYouāve been a menace since you could crawl, and you continue to be.ā
āYou likeĀ me being a menace, though.ā
He didnāt agree aloud, but Hakuren had known Anju long enough to see the devilish amusement in his eyes. Anju could hardly reprimand him half the time, since he himself was a troublemaker to the nth degree. Once or twice heād even heard his father muttering about having fourĀ children instead of three. Though, now--
āThinking about your soon to be youngest sibling?ā
Hakurenās ears flushed, though he wasnāt sure why he felt embarrassed. Anju had been able to read him like an open book since he was a child, and it was no secret within the palace that his mother was pregnant again. He ducked his head anyway, fiddling with his sash absently.
āYeah.ā he admitted sheepishly.Ā āIām excited, yāknow, but also... I mean, Iām gonna be a lot older than them, and what if itās a boy? Theyāll look up to me, right? God what if itās another girl? I canāt have two little sisters, thatās too many dress-up games--ā
āHakuren,ā Anju interrupted, amused.Ā āYou had this same meltdown before Hakuei was born. You remember what happened?ā
āDad had to bodily drag me away from the nursery? Cause I wanted to spend all day playing with her?ā
Anjuās smile was the same smirk he gave people when he knew heād entrapped them, but his eyes were warmer. It made Hakurenās stomach twist into funny knots, and he leaned subconsciously into his guard. Anjuās arm curled a little more tightly around his shoulders.
āBoy or girl, youāre going to love whatever little blue eyed bundle of Ren gets put in your arms in a few monthsā time.ā he reassured.Ā āAnd IāmĀ gonna be around.ā
āThought you said you werenāt father material?ā Hakuren teased. Anju grinned wide.
āOh, Iām not. But someone, someone who happens to be your father, the Emperor, has decided that itās about time me and mine come crawlinā out of the shadows.ā
Hakuren was immediately alert, sitting upright and staring at Anju wide-eyed. Anju and the rest of the Kuroshi, out in the open? Existence no longer hidden, names no longer coded, for all to see? Could it be?
āHe says Iām gonna be this kidās teacher, right from the get go. So Iāll be around a lot more from now on.ā Anju cocked an eyebrow.Ā āThink thatāll help?ā
Hakuren wanted to say a thousand things, but all that came bubbling out of him was joyous laughter. He pounced on his guard, toppling them both back onto the grass. They lay there laughing a while, blissfully unaware of their own fates.
