World 3.13
"R-Ruru?!"
His mouth hung open in a minute, Wuwu couldn't move and talk. His eyes were fixated on the big wolf in front of him. He couldn't even blink, his heart was beating so fast.
Suddenly, the big wolf moved it's paw towards him. The male hurriedly backed away because of fear and so much awe "D-Don't come near me!" he exclaimed.
The big gray wolf bent towards his face and then sniffed him. Wuwu closed his eyes very tight and then he clenched his fist. But the moment he tried to push it, a smoke appeared and then a heavy weight fell onto his lap.It was a young man with a pale skin, his body was enough to be average, his long hair drooped towards his shoulders.
Ru Xian turned back to his human form. He was half naked the moment Wuwu laid eyes on him.
"Ehhh??!!" Wuwu pushed him away that caused him to groaned in pain
"Wear some clothes!" Wuwu hurriedly took off his first layer robe to cover up Ruru's body, he threw it to the other male.
While Ruru quickly wrapped himself, they both fell silent. No one tried to initiate a conversation until they reached a hillside where no one lives. They sat down under the big shady tree, it was already night. The stars are showing, sparkling like some diamonds in the night sky.
The hilltop was enough to view the whole village, the lights from the place were dazzling in their eyes.
"Ey…" Wuwu finally said a word
Ru Xian jolted and then his face flushed red, he averted his gaze and then twitched his lips "What?" he sneered
"Why d-did you t-turn into a wolf?" Wuwu asked
Ruru clicked his tongue and then he lowered his head "It-It was a c-curse…" he uttered, fidgeting his fingers
The cold wind passes through them, the rustling sound from the leaves deafen Wuwu's senses and then he realizes everything. "So it was really the reason" he mumbled
Ru Xian couldn't talk back, he only told Wuwu about that it was a normal illness but the man found out his real form accidentally. No one knows about this except Hua Yi, and his parents.
"I will listen…"
Ru Xian was stunned again the moment Wuwu spoke once more, it was new to him. He never told anyone about this and it was his first time opening to someone. He didn't even know how to say it.
"The truth is….I am cursed…"
Wuwu moved a little closer to him until his shoulder patted Ruru's side. Ruru frowned at first but found comfort in it.
"Whatever it is, I will listen" Wuwu said
Ruru's eyes beam and his heart skipped in so much flattered. He couldn't believe that Wuwu, a man full of interesting thoughts, would listen to him.
He jolted "A-Are you sure?!" Ruru exclaimed in so much excitement like he was going to tell something important
"Heh…" Wuwu smirked and then he cupped the male's cheeks towards his face "Like I said, I would love to listen to this handsome prince".
Red leaked all over Ruru's face with his surprised look.
AUTHOR: If only Ruru knew that you are an idiot fooling him
{Shut up!}
AUTHOR: -_-
Ruru averted his gaze and then he moved his head a little "I was cursed since birth, I don't really have an illness, my curse was preventing me from physical touch, even the slightest one" he explained
"Then, why can I touch you?" Asked Wuwu
Ruru made an unsure face and then he lowered down his head, letting his fingers play the little grasses "I-I'm not sure, but the prophecy said that you are the only one f-for my f-faith" he uttered
"Faith?"
Ruru twitched his lips "Don't get too cocky…It's not like I can't live without you" he blabbered
Wuwu smiled and then he caress down Ruru's head onto his shoulders "Well, whatever it is, I'm willing to give anything for you" then he let his fingers play the male's hair
Ruru was dazed and he couldn't talk after his head fell onto the other male's shoulder. It was so good when there is someone comforting you and saying that he will be there for you, he never had someone like that before.
Ruru was born with a golden spoon on his mouth, everything was perfect even before he could open his eyes. Everyone at the palace was prohibited to talk to him, no one dares though. He likes being alone but sometimes all he wants is someone who can understand and never get tired of him.
***
The next day, Ruru woke up with this soft thing covering his body, the chirping birds above the shady tree was music to his ears. He slowly opened his eyes after blinking a few times. He sat up, no one was there.
It was the second day that they're away from the palace, Ruru couldn't remember the way back.
"Good morning!"
An energetic voice greeted him, he turned his gaze to the owner of it and saw a half-naked man holding some fishes in his hands.
Ruru jolted from astonishment as he threw the robe he used as a blanket to Wuwu. "You dare show yourself to me like that!" He snorted
Wuwu was wet and sweating, so he caught the clothing thrown at him. He giggled and said "Why so hostile early in the morning?" Then he smiled
Ruru blushed and averted his eyes "You! Stop showing your body to me! You disgrace"
Wuwu tilted his head and shrugged his shoulders "My dear prince, this man over here saw a river just a distance away so he decided to caught some fishes to eat"
Ruru released a humped sound and then he crossed his arms "Watch your words! You are talking to a prince!" He snorted again, pursing his lips out.
Wuwu didn't talk back, he decided to leave Ruru under the shady tree to grill the fish just a meter away from the male.
{I know he is hungry, he will ask for food later}
AUTHOR: I can see that you are being mischievous
{He has no choice}
Wuwu was busy grilling the fish in the fire when a familiar male showed up at his side.
"W-What are y-you doing?" Ruru turned his head away the moment Wuwu looked at him like he was pretending that he didn't care.
Wuwu smirked secretly "Your highness, I'm grilling some fish for us to eat" he replied
Ruru looked at the raw fish that was pinned on a stick. His face became uncomfortable and cringy "Can you really eat that? I mean… Is it okay to be like that?" He asked
Wuwu chuckled "Of course…" he took a piece of cooked fish from what he was grilling "Take a taste! This is so good" he gave it to Ruru, while the prince scanned it well and based on his face, he was unsure.
"Pfftt!"
Wuwu held himself from laughter "Oh! Pardon me, I almost forgot that you are a prince" he said, while Ruru was still unsure
"Come on! Take a bite!"
Ruru gave him a vague look and then his lips crouched down "Can I really eat this?" He asked
Wuwu stood up and then he slightly pushed the male's back "Come on, just try it, it taste good" he encouraged
Ruru gulped and then he closes his eyes as he quickly took a bite, he didn't know what would he feel after chewing the meat inside his mouth, but the moment it reached his tongue, a different sensation crawled up inside his mouth
"Delicious!!"
Wuwu grinned the moment he saw Ruru's reaction. He was relieved that the prince was showing him a different side. "I told you!" He exclaimed
Ruru took another bite while Wuwu enjoyed watching his cheeks bulging happily. They ate together until the food was finished.
***
After resting and eating, they're now ready to head back to the palace, Wuwu was helding Ruru's hand to keep him away from the crowd. They then decided to stop for a bit to ask for directions. Ruru let the other male do the talking while he was waiting beside him.
Suddenly, a forceful arm grabs Wuwu away from Ruru's hand. They were both stunned.
"You dare kidnap the prince away from the palace!"
Three palace guards hovered in front of Ru Xian, protecting him, while they took Wuwu away and pushed him on the ground. Ruru turned his gaze, he was scanning the men from head to toe, they were all new to his eyes. He realized one thing, it was his father's personal guards.
The one who wears an upper rank armband steps forward, pointing his sword straight to Wuwu. "You dare lay a hand to the crown prince!" he snarled, the people started gathering around them, disgust changed their faces. After a second, they started cursing Wuwu in unison.
"You deserve death!" then the guard who seemed to be the general, swayed his sword one more time, blade facing the poor male on the ground.
"Wuwu!!!!!!!"
