"Argh..." From head to toe Ozciel sore body can't be moved even in slightest. Earlier morning went wild as it was should be once... But his great husband 'do it until his body becomes pulpy. After he wakes up its already night time.
"Here's your food baby~" Cai happily placed a small tray holding a simmer hot coffee and a light soup for his gorgeous wife.
Ozciel jokingly murderous stare at his husband "Its all your fault, how can i face Illy... Feed me~"
"Aye! Say ah~"
"Ah~ yummy~" puffin his cheeks made Cai felt soft again. And gently give him a kiss on his lips.
"Where's Illy?" Ozciel curiously asked his husband who's feeding him with a warm soup.
Knock, knock.
" Come in" Cai said
Butler Ross came with illy in his hands. " Your highness Illy want to see you." Then Butler Ross gently push illy to come front.
With a hands on the nightgown. Illy, looked and slowly making his steps to go where the husband and wife located. Cai lifted Illy and placed him to his wife lap. Illy stiffed and dare not to move his body as he was a great rock in the direct sun burning all over the body.
Ozciel couldn't help but chuckle as he observed the boy, frozen in his lap and unable to move even an inch. He patted him in his head gently and asked "Did you eat your dinner?"
With a flinch, Illy revived suddenly and stuttered to answer. "Y-Yes, With Butler Ross... W-We eat many delicious food"
"I see... you did a good job" Cai comment and continued to feed his angel like wifey who have an attitude of cat.
" Do you want to sleep here with us?" Ozciel ask
Illy in the other hand felt as his neck is burning and it become red as tomato. He nodded his little head. He was so happy deep in side, It will be the first day someone will shared a bed with him and sleep with him. In the dim large cage where all the kids is sleeping only the young illy opened his eyes. He was staring at the ceiling that only dark can be seen. He gaze at the kids who's hugging the older other kids. No one except Rose talk to him. He didn't know why if he wants to open his mouth and speak some other kids beat him to death. Smacking and nitpicking him almost a day.
At the middle of the night. Illy opened his eyes...Gazing his eyes to the two people who is sleeping beside him.
"Why are you still awake? Somethings troubling you?" Ozciel ask... Ozciel can't sleep too because he sleep in the mid-afternoon earlier. He felt happy with his husband behind him hugging him like a big koala. Its cute.
"A-Afraid" Illy stare at Ozciel eyes and move closer to him.
With a soft tone Ozciel began to rub the back of illy as he wants to comfort him and said "Why are you afraid?"
"D-Dark... Alone" Slowly a tears came down from his eyes... " Pain... My heart is in pain... I don't know why... I am so scary?" clenching his little fist and looking direct at the beautiful man illy hearts hurts again as he cant breathe and want to broke out to the chains holding his ankle.
Ozciel seeing the boy trembling hard and crying hurts his heart as it was about to break into a million pieces. He didn't know how lonely it was to be in the dark. The child cried so much and it made Cai awake and sit up then lifted up illy who's having another panic attack.
He sit him to his lap rubbing his back and continuously giving him the comfort he needed.
"Its okay, Its okay you can cry all the pain and once you stop the pain will slowly go away... Does it hurt?" Cai softly said and asked reassuring the needs of the child. On the other hands, Ozciel called the family doctor to come immediate.
Illy winced in pain as he reached for his clothes, his hand trembling as it landed on the spot over his heart. His voice stained with a great pain " I-Its H-Hurt..."
Cai touch the spot where the child gripping so hard and hold his hand. The hand is so small and the fingers is so little. Ozciel gently and softly wiping illy tears. Illy tears keeps flowing but its seems that he calm down a little which is good for the two.
Ozciel minds is so chaotic thinking how useless he was as a prince in this kingdom. He never knew that so much kids was use as a things to be sold as a slave. Hearing the news he heard to his husband, Ozciel, immediately report it to his father and brother. And will made an action to arrest all the criminals who is leading the illegal trafficking. His hearts ache so much seeing the kids crying out loud. At last the family doctor came and made a check and consultation he even recommended the medication if needed.
The family doctor leave at respected manner. Illy tears stop and his eyes become swollen and reddish.
" Does it hurt anymore after you cry?" Ozciel asked while gently covering him with the warm blanket.
Even tho his voice is worse from crying Illy being a good boy still respond to the beautiful man beside him "N-Not anymore"
"Some one said to me, that if you want the pain go away you should cry until you want. Until no tears can come out in your eyes. It sounds so funny right?" Remembering once his husband comfort him in the middle of the night. Ozciel thinks its so funny and adorable in the same time. It was the first time he fell in love with Cai. He continued " Deep down when we hide all our emotions or the feelings we have it will burst out loud and break us. Do you know why?"
Illy shake his head and listen carefully.
"Think of an empty cup of water. The pain is the water... Now, if the water keeps filling the empty cup it will spills water."
illy nodded and Cai slowly lay in the bed as he firmly held Illy. Covering his wife with a warm blanket too. Ozciel continues his speech " What can we do is if the water spills so much let it spills until there is no water anymore... From then on we can fills the empty cup with the happiness and memories that we will surely keeps in our heart. ",..." The pain will be still their and it cant be erase, but the more we encounter pain, the more we can achieve to surpass it"
"Don't worry we are here to support you from anything you like. Trust us and be happy as you like."
Illy heart began to beat much faster. It didnt hurt but it was so warm as he was to cry again. He never knew that a day like this will come true. From a dark cage now with a bed and warm blanket. The people beside him make him happy.
"I-Im not alone..." tired from crying all over, leaned his head in Cai's chest and fall asleep.
"You're not alone anymore" Ozciel hugged them together with his husband and slowly closed his eyes and began to sleep.
