You Cannot Run

[Shun was waiting all day, and he was so hungry!

Lying on the grass, up on the hill and under the large oak tree, he sighed rubbing his stomach. Shun looked over to his side and frowned. Prince Peter had told him he had something special for him for his birthday. His birthday was a couple weeks away, so he was confused when the brown haired prince told him this.

He also felt… giddy.

Prince Peter said he wanted to spend the day with him, meaning the princess the man was courting would not be around them. Humming to himself, he closed his eyes and thought of what gift the prince could have brought for him. Was it something made or bought? Was it big or small?

As his mind drifted trying to figure out what it was, he fell asleep under the warm sun. Hands landed on his shoulders, shaking him from the realm of sleep. Blinking his eyes slowly, his purple eyes saw his kind older brother looking at him with furrowed brows.

“Brother?” He mumbled quietly as he sat up.
