leaving so soon after confessing
IN THE PALACE
Loren stayed with his friends in the room.
He kept smiling with his hands behind his head while looking up. He just couldn't forget his first kiss and the fact that nate felt the same way.
Loren kept reliving the moment when he confessed in his head.
"Hey!,ive been calling you!",dibengi yelled." Did you win a gamble?".
Vitskit eyes litted up" share with us,loren.
" Dont you have money?",non asked vitskit.
" Am saving it",vitskit pouted.
" He's saving it to start a family!" Dibengi teased and they laughed.
"It's not true!,am saving it for my parents,am now a man".
They bursted out in laughter.
"Tell us when a boy becomes a man",non asked,while he smiles, waiting for the ridiculous answer vitskit will give.
"You all know",vitskit said shyly.
"A boy becomes a man when he is responsible__",loren was talking but dibengi cut him off.
"Responsible for a pregnancy!",dibengi teased and they laughed.
"Shut up, dibengi!",loren yelled,"you didn't let me finish,responsible and matured physically and mentally!".
"Don't yell!,you're not correct",vitskit yelled.
"Then tell us master vitskit,you're disciples are listening",dibengi teased.
They were all quiet waiting for his answer.
"It's when....it's when..",vitskit yelled.
"Say it!",they chorused.
"It's when a boy ejaculate!",vitskit yelled cheerfully.
Vitskit cleared his throat",well I was_ reading a smut book then__''.
" Time to sleep,vitskit blow off the candles",non commanded.
" The elder has spoken", dibengi teased.
" Are you not going to hear my story",vitskit whined.
" Vitskit!,blow the candles and sleep!",non commanded.
" Why do I always have to blow the candle?",vitskit murmured.
Loren could not sleep as he continued to relive the time he spent near the waterfall with nate.
EARLIER THAT DAY
Loren leaned closer towards nate,unsure of how nate will feel.He was ready to beg for forgiveness if he dislikes what he will do.
He was nervous as he pressed his lips on nate's.
Nate was shocked so he opened his eyes.seeing lorens lip's on his was something he couldn't imagine.He thought he was the only one that felt that way.
It was like fireworks in his heart.
Loren brought nate's hand to his heart,"nate",he called softly."can you feel it?,is beating like crazy." It's crazy how i have fallen for a person that never showed his face to me".
Loren exhaled deeply," nate,I think I've fallen for you,I think I love you more than how a friend should".
Loren placed his palm on nate's cheek," if you are angry at my action and wish to report me to his majesty,then so be it,I will comply but if you feel the same way,kiss me back".
Nate became red faced when loren confessed to him,of course he feels the same way.He dreamt of this moment but he didn't think it will come true.He was so happy as he stared at loren.
Nate leaned closer to him and loren could feel it.Nate blushed as he wanted to kiss him,then suddenly nate heard rustles,so he pretended to remove a blade of grass from loren's black hair.
Loren cursed ivan deeply in his heart as they ride back to the palace.
********************************************
It was in the morning when the warriors were training then suddenly the chief of imperial guards arrived, escorted with other guards and some older red eagle and golden horse warriors.
"Heed to the royal decree!",the chief yelled.
Everyone went on their knees with their head bowed to the floor because the royal decree represented the king.
"Loren sorock!,born in the central province,16 years old, dibengi nigromeshisahius,born in the north province,16 years old,non lirm,born in the south province,18 years old and vitskit bunch,born in the north province,15 years old." His majesty and the commander has recognized the four of you and wishes to take you under his wing for two years".
The four friends eyes litted up as they glanced at each other,who could have known that the commander will recognize them.
They forgot to receive the edit and the chief cleared his throat.
" His majesty is gracious,long live the king",the four chorused and loren collected the edict.
The chief continued," there is no more red eagle warriors and golden horse warriors"." It is now merged with the names"white tigers army"."you will be posted to different provinces from time to time,the names will be posted soon"."as for loren,dibengi,non and vitskit,you leave tommorow,you can all stand".
" We will heed to your verdict".
Tommorow was to soon,they were happy that the commander has chosen them but the fact that they were going the next day was too soon. Although vitskit and dibengi were happy that they will go home soon.
PRINCE NATE RESIDENCE
Nate was outside in his residence when someone delivered a message about the loren's departure.
"What!?, tomorrow!?",nate blinked rapidly as he held ivan to support himself from fainting.
Nate held ivan shirt,"I should see loren now,for goodness sake,why tommorow?".
" I'll summon your coachman",ivan left.
Nate couldn't accept that loren was leaving the next day.They had recently confessed their feelings to each other yesterday and now they are going to be apart for two years.Nate wasn't even sure if he will survive till then.
Ivan came back,"your highness,let's go".
Nate entered the carriage and ivan sat with the coachman.
They arrived were loren stayed with his friends in the palace but the room was empty.
Ivan asked one of the warriors and he said he hasn't seen them since the time they receive the verdict.
"What did he say",nate asked ivan from inside his carriage.
And ivan shook his head.
Nate felt torn apart and weak,he hasn't even told loren that he wasn't completely fine. He clutched his chest as he felt a little pain and he groaned.
"Your highness, are you alright!",ivan asked as he saw nate through the carriage window
The pain stopped and he was calm,"am alright".
"Your highness,he might be with his family,he might his spending time there as he will not see them for a long time and surely he will also come to see you",ivan reassured.
Nate looked at him," will he?". Nate exhaled,"then let's go back to my residence".
