Chapter 11
Toma watched how Yamapi taking the ring off.
Pi pulled him up, so he was sitting as well. Then he put the ring on Tomas finger.
As if even this gesture wasn't enough, Pi said: “Just for now, okay? I promise... my heart... will always be with you.” Toma blushed but smiled softly. He couldn't tell how much this meant to him. Instead of saying something he leaned in and kissed Pi again. He didn't want this to end...He wanted to stay with him forever.
Forming out of this wish an idea came to his mind and he pulled back. “What if you work in the castle?”, asked Toma.
Yamapi looked confused and Toma looked at him seriously. “If you work in the castle... then we could see each other more often...”, he concluded still thinking. “I think they are searching for some people because of the... engagement.”, he said. “That... that would be great!”, answered Yamapi. The prince smiled. “Then we can be together every day and night.”, he blushed, but the smile wouldn't vanish from his face and he pulled Yamapi into a tight hug.
Oh, how much he wanted to be with him every day, every second. And if everything went well, he could have Pi by his side always... until they would escape together. And then they could be together forever and nothing could ever part them again. The young royal sighed satisfied as he still held Pi in his arms.
The next day started early for Toma. He had to attend lessons in preparations for the wedding and Toma went along with them happily, knowing that it wouldn't come to said wedding. As he had some spare time between two lessons, he thought about the public application which had started this morning. He hoped that Yamapi made it through and he would be able to work in the castle.
After lunch he got taken aside by Maki. “Toma-sama... would ...would you meet me in the garden this evening... I heard that there will be a shooting star shower. I think it is interesting...” She blushed. “Well...”, Toma hesitated. If Pi made it, then they could spent the time together. Suddenly he heard his father say: “Of course he will come to see you, right, my son?”, he smiled widely. “I'm sure he is just too shy to say how much he wants to spend time with you.” Toma caught his father's gaze, he had no other option than to agree. “..yeah... of course.::”, he tried to sound just as shy as his father made him just now. “Really? That's great, then until tonight!”, she smiled sweetly and hurried to her room, leaving the prince and his father alone. “My son, I hope you know what to do, right?”, said the king in a menacing voice. “I know”, he said in a low voice.
Yes, he knew, he just had to play his role a little longer. Although he had remorse because he had to be so nice to the girl, although he didn't want it. But he had no choice.
He went back to his room and sat on the desk. Shortly after he heard a knock on the door. “Yes?”, he asked. The door opened and his sensei stepped into the room.“Young Master, this is your new servant”, he said. Toma's eyes widened as Yamapi stepped into his room. The young man bowed. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Toma-sama”, he smiled politely. He plays his role very well, thought Toma. “Pleased to meet you, too”, said the prince smiling widely. “His name is Yamashita, he will take care of any of your issues from now on, so please rely on him”, the teacher told him. “Thanks. I will, be sure of that”, nodded Toma and gazed at Pi. “You can go now”, he added to his teacher, who excused himself.
“You really did it!”, shouted Toma after he was sure no one could hear him. “Yes, although I was really nervous. I don't even know how I made it through...”, admitted Pi. “It doesn't matter...”, grinned Toma and pulled Pi closer. “... now that you're here”, he smiled softly and then kissed Pi passionately.
The prince was so happy, he had Pi right there, with him. And he wanted to have him by his side forever. His kisses felt so good and right. He began to stroke Pi's cheeks and his neck. His skin was so smooth...
The young prince was amazed by the feelings which Yamapi was causing him. He wanted to feel more of them, to feel more of Yamashita.
And as they kissed and tried to get closer and closer to each other, they suddenly stumbled over each others feet and landed on the bed.
