Kaen POV It's so heavy... I thought as I open my eyes just to come face to face with Hikaru's sleeping face as his arms were hugging me again. " Hiki... Get off you're heavy. .." I say sleepy as I push against his chest trying to get free from his bear grip hug. " Hmmm?... Never mind that, just go back to sleep... it's too early..." Hikaru says sleepily as he pulls me closer and hides his face in the crook of my neck. "..... Oi... I didn't say you could droll on my shirt..." I say as I pull the collar of his t-shirt over his mouth. "... Does it matter? .... You always drool on mine. .." " That's because you keep spooning me from the front...Why am I wearing a t-shirt anyway?" "... You're the one that kept saying that someone..... * yawns* ....might misunderstand if they saw two men sleeping together in their boxes. .... so I put one on you yesterday night. ...." Hikaru sleepily explained. "... which is why you should sleep in your own room...Why do you always s
Hikaru POV " I see that you're really enjoying yourself." I say to Kaen when I finally spot him sitting under one of the many trees he destroyed in the garden of the East Wing, drinking away his sorrows. " Leave me alone." Kaen says in a depressed way as he takes another swing of his drink. Now that I looked closely at the bottle, I realized it was high-quality spirits. He must have swiped it from a Noble or something. " Well then, you shouldn't have become my Master." I sat next to him as I grabbed the bottle from his hand and took a swing from it too. Kaen just sighs as he rests his head in his hand. We watched the waxing crescent moon for a while before I passed back the bottle. Kaen took it from me and I noticed that his fated mark was now gone. I grabbed his hand to have a better look at it, hoping ours would appear when I did but.... it just didn't... strange. ... I thought I did it right. .. " Yeah, it's gone. ... maybe we weren't meant to be after all." Kaen's
Terrius POV " You seem awfully confident for a guy face down on the floor. " Kaen yawned as he closed his eyes and snuggled against his arm. " Don't let appearance OW!!" Manor yelled out. " Whoa!" Hikaru exclaimed. I look up from my book to see Hikaru holding the countertop while Manor was holding his leg in pain. Hikaru must have stepped on him by accident, I thought as I returned to reading my book. " Sorry! Didn't see you there!" Hikaru apologized. " I didn't either but I felt your shoe! Really Well!" Manor wheezed out. " Why don't you go and wake up V1? That way we can at least put the kitchen floor to good use." Hikaru suggested. " Aww, man..." Manor groans as he gets up and dusted himself. Kaen started snickering. " And take Kaen with you too." Hikaru ordered. " Eh?!" Kaen said in shock. " * Laughing* What goes around comes around eh?" Manor laughed. Kaen groans and they both walked over to the bathtub in the living room. " Morning, Terrius." Hikaru gre
Terrius POV " Who * gags*?" We all turn and look at Lancelot in shock as he takes a seat at the table. He was dripping wet and bleeding but he sat there like nothing happened. Kaen and Manor both fell off their seats in shock. " * Gags* Why the * gags* So salty!" Lancelot gags and chokes on the salt that Manor and Kaen had poured into his mouth before dunking his whole body into the water. He snapped his fingertips and within a moment, he was dry and back to normal. " Ok! Who's bright idea was it to dump salt down my throat?" Lancelot casually asked like he was talking about the weather. Kaen and Manor immediately pointed at each other. " How the heck are you still alive?! You were underwater for 5 minutes!!" I asked Lancelot in shock. " He can't die." Hikaru points out as he picks Kaen off the floor, takes a seat, and places a very shocked Kaen onto his lap. I waited a moment for Hikaru to continue and explain his answer but he didn't. " Then explain the rest!"
Hikaru POV After V1 briefed us on the quest and finished his breakfast, he left the table, returning back to his bathtub without another word, leaving us to finish our meal. Manor fell asleep with his eyes open before V1 even finished briefing. Wow, just how tired is he? Guess, I'll wake him up and fill him in when it's time to go. The rest of us started wondering why V1 would bring a bathtub everywhere he goes and what the point of it was before joking about how the bathtub could be the source of all his powers and fooling around with weird hilarious theories. Eventually, we joined V1 back in the living room, where we found him dozing off in his bathtub. This time it was much easier to wake him and when we did V1 snaps his fingertips and immediately 4 fake sheep scurry out from their hiding spots and into a row. " These will be the fake sheep that will be helping you with this mission. " V1 informed with a sleepy expression. All 4 of them salute. " Aite O U O?" Kaen asked as
Hikaru POV " Yeah, but you left out the Goblins that are kidnapping and killing at sight. " I added with an awkward laugh, wanting to stain his potential, to keep it from surfacing for a while longer. Fearing for Kaen if all Versions knew what my father had done because of me. " Alright, fine. I'll admit that some are just made to be cruel like the Goblin or extremely dangerous to the universe, like Flungoues or the Evil Dragons. .. not counting the Silver Dragon, since they were created by a different god. But some could be just like animals and because we are locking up begins that don't deserve to be. Take demons, for example. There are hundreds of them sealed and kept away in Everburn and their only crime is being born as a demon. Because of this, they end up, piss, and hateful towards the world just like Kaen when he was younger." He pointed out. " * Laughs* You have a point there but.. making a world like that... It's not going to be easy. " I reminded. " That's why it
Kaen POV " Towcs, Quit standing on my foot." I told him as I kept walking. " What do you mean? I'm standing on a leathery black thingy. " Towcs asked with an innocent face. ".... Then quit standing on the leathery black thingy." I corrected myself. " What do you mean? I'm standing on a boot." Towcs grinned like he had won something. " ..... Do you want to be kicked?" I stopped walking and looked down at Towcs, who was standing on my foot and holding onto my ankle so that he didn't have to walk any longer. " What do you mean?" Towcs asked. I interrupted him before he could continue. " I mean that my foot that's wrapped around that black leathery thing called a boot making hard contact with your round grey fluffy muscles that are keeping your legs connected called a bum. Now, which part of that do you not understand?" I asked him in a very annoyed tone. " This is Sheepie Abuse!" Towcs complains as he finally gets off me and starts walking. " Why can you be less
Kaen POV Manor leans down, his fangs right next to Towcs face, he suddenly lets out a breath that he was holding which broke out into laughter. Towcs was blown by Manor's laugh and was sent rolling. He hits the truck of the tree and gives Manor a wide eye look of shock. We all started laughing at his reaction. Throughout the rest of the journey, we all teased him on it. Towcs wasn't quite happy with the teasing but at least Manor carried him throughout the rest of the journey. We even had a race between me, Manor, and Terrius where Hikaru was the referee since someone had to make sure I wasn't cheating. I even had to give them a 20 minutes head start just to level the playing field but in the end..... Terrius won by an inch!! All because he was smart enough to use the vines. I was so freaking close too!! " Damn it!!" I groaned as I lay flat on my stomach, piss off that I didn't win. Hikaru was forced to stand up because of it, but he patted my head trying to console me. " An
