"Eru? Eru please.... at least have something, some bread, you have not eaten anything," Silas softly begged from outside the door. Getting no reply to his plea, he slowly opened the door and peak inside.
All he could see was a naked back and black hair. "Oh, he is sleeping," he slowly closed the door. 'Wait, Eru has blond hair!!!' he opened it wide and peered at the black head. 'No way, is that who I think it is?'
While he doubted his life purpose, he heard loud footsteps in the corridor. He swiftly shut the door and leaned against it.
Master Lumian strode towards him with his eyebrows creased. "Silas, what are you loitering around here for?"
"M—master, that.... I was.....I was delivering dinner; yes, I was just here to give him his dinner. But he is sleeping now," he said awkwardly, protecting the door with his body.
Lumian's frown deepened. "Hmm, you go train as usual we have a visitor,"
"Who is it, master? Is it someone we know?" Silas desperately tried to change the subject and tried to lead his master away.
But Lumian rushed to the kitchen. "Brother, looks like Eru is asleep."
"oh," the tall red-haired man whispered without turning back.
Just from his back, Silas was able to figure out who he was. "Your highness!!!" he bowed deeply.
Rukle nodded while gulping down a cup full of milk. "Where is my son of mine? I have things to talk to him about," he said and rushed to the rooms.
Silas had no way to stop him. Grimacing, he followed after them. He gently tugged his master's shirt.
Lumian glanced back with a questioning look.
"M—master... its better not to disturb Eru's sleep," he stuttered while sweating buckets. 'You silly kid, look how much I have to cover up for your silly mistake,' he grumbled inside.
King Rukle and Lumian strode over to the door and opened it confidently.
Silas bit his lips. 'It's done for, Eru, you are so dead,'
The two great figures of their kingdom paused at the doorway with their mouth wide open.
Hearing their loud entrance, Rebus sat up leaning on his elbows. The duvet slid down his shoulders, revealing his naked chest. For a second he could not register who the visitors were but soon his mind cleared up. "Your highness," he bowed without standing up. Glancing at the ground, he silently bit his lips. 'Why are they here? I wanted to have lone time with my Eru,' he sadly thought.
King Rukle slowly walked in step by step. "W—where is my son?" he peered behind him to see another naked back and blond hair spread on the white pillow. "Is there an innocent explanation for this Zhong," he glared at rebus with his fists clenched.
Rebus looked straight into his eyes without a word.
By then Eru rolled over and hugged his wait. "Why are you up so early," he grumbled, nuzzling against his naked skin.
Rukle's eyebrows twitched. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself a bit. "Eru, my son, wake up please," he whispered, patting his shoulders.
His hands were swatted away. "Let me sleep," Eru moaned and rolled himself with his duvet.
"ERUDITE!"
Eru snapped awake and sat up instantly. His blurry eyes turned around the room only to see vague figures. "What is it? I'm still sleepy," he whispered, wiping his eyes.
Rukle saw the state of nakedness of his son and breathed loudly. "Erudite, do you have an explanation for this?"
"For what?" Eru glanced up at him finally. His eyes also cleared up right at that time. "Dad? Daddy!!! Why are you here?" he gleefully jumped out of the sheets but Rebus pulled him down and covered his shoulders with the sheets. That was when he realised the state he was in and state the stupid devil was in. "d—dad, I can explain. You see, I was playing with him and our clothes... it got dirty and we removed them and.... and,"
Rebus sighed and plugged his mouth shut.
Silas who was watching from the doorway sighed loudly. 'Eru, you have dug your own grave. Farewell my friend, you will be missed,'
Rukle peered at his son's naked shoulders and neck. "Explain!"
"Your highness, we both are amorously involved with each other. Please give us your blessings!" he shouted and bowed.
"HUH!!!!!!" Eru glanced at the devil and then at his demon like father. 'Oh shit, what is this? I really should have chased this guy off yesterday,' he bit his nails, waiting for his father to give his final say.
King Rukle gestured for Eru to stand up.
Eru did so.
"Tell me, are you inclined towards him?"
"I—I...." the devil keenly watched, anticipating his reply. His heart pounded loudly in his ears and his eyes went blurry. "I..... I think I do...."
