Tender Day

"Hey"

"Be mine?"

Ryuu blinked for a moment trying to comprehend what this young adult is saying. Be mine? Is homosexuality not even a moral violation here? Clearing his throat, Ryuu put his hands into the Prince's shoulders gently pushing him away.

The prince gave him a confuse look before asking "Is that a no?" There's an evident hint of threatening in the young adult's voice as if saying that 'Say no and I'll kill you'

The younger teen sighed and tried to reason with the older "We've just met a while ago and maybe did some inappropriate stuffs and I don't think it works that way"

He pat the prince's shoulders trying to get into his system.

"And it's not like I'll be killing anyone soon so just pretend this didn't happen"

The prince didn't answer but his hands that gripped the hero's wrist sorted out that he refused to accept the hero's offer.

"No"

'Even if you don't like it, I'll keep you here now. Screw this sudden attraction'

The prince now looked at the hero as if ready to take ownership of the said teen. He snaked his hands into the Hero's waist and brought him up to carry him out of the bathroom. Ryuu was confused upon the Prince's action. Soon he was laid again on the bed and the prince walked to his wardrobe and suited himself on his casual attire and searched if there were still clothes of him back in his younger days.

To his luck, he found a plain white buttoned shirt and a small undies although he can't seem to find any sorts of pants or any clothing to cover the hero's legs and he just shook his head.

'Why do I even care for the brat's welfare?'

He looked at the hero who seems to be shivering so he decided to go with the clothing he picked.

"Wear this"

He handed the shirt and the undies as Ryuu flashed a comically look.

"Pants?"

"No pants, can't find your size"

Ryuu just shrugged and muttered a 'thank you' before trying to slip on the clothes before hearing the prince speak again.

"Stop"

"What?"

The prince walked to him and grabbed the shirt as he hold Ryuu's left arm and raised it a little. The hero was further confused so he opened his mouth to inquire the prince.

"What are you doing?"

"Dressing you"

"I know but why"

"Felt like it"

"But-"

"Let me"

Ryuu just sighed and let the prince do what he wants for now. Either way he can't put up with these so he'll probably try to sneak out later on out of the castle. Ryuu noticed that the white shirt is a little big for him as it reaches his mid thighs. He blushed a bit remembering the sinful doujins that he read in the past.

'This resembles an after sex look'

After the prince buttoned up the shirt he kneeled in front of the hero and tried to spread his legs but Ryuu became reluctant.

"I can do it"

"No. Let me"

"Seriously, that's too much, I'm not disabled"

"Let me"

Ryuu scratched his head at this Prince's stubbornness as he felt his legs being spread again as he felt the fabric slipping on his thighs. He saw the prince with a satisfied look plastered on his face as if he had done something groundbreaking.

"Do you want to eat something?"

Thinking about it, he haven't eaten anything for the past hours now. He gave a hesitant nod and the prince pulled him up.

"Let's head to the dinner room"

Ryuu was about to agree but he remembered that he wasn't wearing any pants and the only thing covering most of his skin was the oversize shirt from the prince.

" I can't walk around wearing this"

The prince looked at him as if searching a reasonable amount of excuse on what's wrong walking around in that clothes. He must be honored wearing his clothes.

"It's fine"

"No, it's not"

"It is"

"It's not"

The prince sighed and gripped the knob of the door before looking at the hero "Don't go outside"

As if he'll be able to wander around like this.

" Yeah, don't worry"

The Prince then walked away as he ordered his servants to prepare some food for him and his captive. Ryuu was left alone there so he tried to open the room much to his disappointment that it's actually lock.

He can't just go out through the window thinking that there won't be any knights around and right now that he's not in any decent clothing so he just laid on the bed again trying to reflect on the current situation.

So he landed on this world, had a normal routine for like a day before getting kidnapped and actually had an intimate course with the supposedly bad guy of the kingdom. Yes, absolutely normal.

'I hope that Asagi kid is fine. Honestly, a scifi world could have been better than this one, at least I can access the internet' .

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the door unlocking with the prince carrying a tray of foods.

"You didn't have to lock the door"

"Nothing's bad being too cautious"

The young adult placed the food near the night stand before grabbing a chair and placing it besides the bed.

Ryuu noticed that there's only one pair of spoon and fork and he gave a questioning look at the prince.

"I'll feed you"

'Again with this disabled foreplay?'

"I can feed myself"

" I don't care"

Ryuu got annoyed so he became a little defensive.

"Why are you even like this? We just me a few hours ago and now you're acting like we're some sort of deranged couple"

"Does it matter?"

"It does! It's just that, I don't think this really should be happening. Everything seems so fast paced. A while ago, you were so cautious about your safety and now your treating me like some disabled person. If you really persist on wanting this, at least be realistic"

The prince didn't looked too please as he heard the hero's reasoning. He was really used to fast paced relationships ever since he reached puberty. He didn't bothered trying to fit Romance in his relationship with others. Usually it's just a plain friend with benefits type of connection and he thought that it would be the same with this guy.

"So you want romance?"

" I didn't say that"

The prince sighed at the response and just tried to move on their meal.

"Eat your food"

"There's only one pair of utensils"

"I said I'll feed you, did I not?"

"But-"

"No more protesting, open your mouth or I'll shove this fork on your throat"

Ryuu clinched his fist and just decided to oblige. He opened his mouth just enough for the prince to serve the spoon into his mouth. It was tasty. The food was nothing too advance but it's rich in flavor. The meat felt like melting on his mouth and he chewed the food with bliss.

The prince seemed contented and fed the hero more with him eating from the same spoon occasionally making the hero turn away 'Indirect kiss'

"Is it good?"

Ryuu nodded not trusting his mouth to speak. They soon finished their meal and the prince gently placed the glass of water near to the hero's mouth just enough for him to drink the water as he shamelessly drank the rest of it.

He grabbed the tray again and proceeded to the door again.

"There's a spare brush in the bathroom"

Ryuu watched the prince lock the door again and he stood up and went to the bathroom to have his teeth brush.

When he was done, he felt a little drowsy so he went back on the bed unaware that sleep took him away.

When the prince returned, he saw the teen laying on the bed who seems to be sleeping. He momentarily watched the rising and falling of the chest and observe the features of his captive more.

'Maybe this isn't as bad as I thought it was'

He extended his hands to ruffle the hair of his captive feeling the soft locks as he slowly combed it. Now he ask himself, what brought this attraction? For now he doesn't have an answer but he didn't bothered to know.

He felt Ryuu stirring up so he retracted his hands as the hero soon woke up. The hero gave him an exhausted glance before sitting up on the bed.

"Sorry, I dozed off"

"It's fine"

They didn't bothered to speak more, and boy, it was a deafening silence. It felt too awkward so Ryuu tried to break the silence.

"You told me, that I'm a supposed hero and I'm bound to kill you right?"

"Seems so"

"How come I am designated to do that?"

"Maybe because I'm too much of a bad person"

"Hmm"

"Wanna know something?"

"Okay"

"I wanna destroy the world"

Ryuu didn't looked shocked so he just decided to know this young adult more.

"And why is that?"

"This world is too corrupted now and intoxicated with impurities. If I destroy this world, I'll be able to reshape it the way I want to"

"What a drag"

"Aren't you gonna stop me? You're the hero right?"

The prince went closer to the teen waiting for a response which the said hero didn't fail to give.

"The world is the least of my worries right now. I actually want to live a very isolated life but here I am"

"Doesn't seem so bad"

They both gave a contented sighed. Yeah, maybe this isn't so bad after all.

"Don't you really like the world?" The hero asked once more.

"I gave up on liking it" replied by the prince.

"Somebody told me that the world is not beautiful, therefore it is.

"What do you mean to say?"

"If you only look at the downside of this world then you will really hate it but if you try to search more on the better side then you might be able to see something worthy of leaving the world the way it is"

The prince was dumbfounded as he didn't even bothered looking at the positive instead focused just on the dirty side of the place he's living right now.

" I didn't think of it"

"Of course you didn't, you're a lonely scum bastard who only acts on his accord, no wonder you didn't bother looking for romantic relationship, you're just as bitter vegetable as I am"

This Villain isn't bad as he looks. Maybe he's just someone detoured on his path towards greatness. Ryuu looked at the prince in a new light now.

Extending his grasp to meet the Prince's more slender hand, he held their hands and twined them together making the prince look at him with a confuse look.

"What are you doing?"

"When you're really by yourself it would be hard to find someone to hold your hand"

And boy, the prince didn't thought that his heart will skip a beat at that cheesy line as he found himself tightening the hold not willing to let go any minute now.
