Fantasy Moments in Time

"Snk-!"

Troy was about to move towards the scream only to choke from the headlock. "Idon'tknow!- Shnk-!" He placed his hand in between his neck and Kenren's arm, trying to lean away from the smoking parts of the stick.

"I'm only looking for my friend. I want to ask him why he took a girl from the street before and I got worried when he disappeared after you and your lady left. So I stalked you two. Pardon me for being worried! Now will you let me go?!" Troy whispered his hiss, not appreciating the rough treatment as he pushed Kenren's arm away and back up from the crazy porter.

"..." The sailor cleared his throat as quietly as he can, glaring at Kenren. "...Now...can we follow the scream-"

"Let meh sistah go, ya-!" and curses in a certain sultry accent poured out only for someone to crash into the wooden boxes. An ominous laugh echoed in the storage building, giving Troy a shiver down his spine and deepening his worried frown. "...Biscuits..."

Kenren immediately let go and jumped into the fray, dashing across the room behind the crate for a quick scan of the situation, then cover, before he made his next move.

The situation is not a good one.

As Kenren thought, it was Tsumiki who yelled for Chenglei. She's tied up to a large and cute panda statue with fireworks attached to her; the fireworks are set up to be ready for use. She struggled wildly against the ropes, even chewing on it as she watched in terror of what's happening to her brother.

The man Troy is looking for, Milo, is currently leaning over Chenglei who crashed into a wooden box filled with flour and rice bags. He gripped the disguised blonde's chin with sausage-like fingers and pulled up so he can take a good look at the blonde's bruised face. He grinned in a creepy and sickly way, humming and pleased about something.

"Even like this, you still look beautiful." He leaned in, way too close for Chenglei's comfort. "Despite your gender...Hm. Are you sure you won't change your mind, lovely?" The deranged sailor asked politely before lighting up a match in front of Chenglei and his grin grew more menacingly. "Even with your sister tied up? Hm?"

"...Ya sick..." Chenglei hissed, defiantly glaring. "Leave meh sistah out of dis-"

"Not until you agree to be with me."

"...Shoot...I didn't think he would take it this far." Troy whispered behind Kenren. He must have followed behind the prince and did his best on not alarming Milo. "...Tell me what to do and I do it. He may be my friend but this...this is too much."

'Kill him.' Almost escaped from Kenren's mouth. Nobody messes with his family. But, what he whispered was, "Distract him, I'm freeing the little girl." and he attempted to sneak around while the crazy sailor was distracted. If he could summon bees like James, he would whisper to Chenglei what's on his mind and that's, 'Snap his neck in two.'

He kept low and crept behind a few crates littered with bottles. Almost close to Tsumiki . . .

"Gotcha..." Troy skulked around the boxes while Kenren went towards Tsumiki.

The tied-up teen tensed up when she saw Kenren and almost cried out; she bit her bottom lip as her eyes shined in hope.

"Milo!" The deranged sailor looked over at Troy who jumped out from a huge metal shield and he snarled like an animal. "What are you doing here, Troy? This is my catch, not yours!"

"Milo, just let them go-"

"No! He's so beautiful-! I must- Huh?!" Milo can see the prince's reflection creeping closer to Tsumiki from the shield and growled. He was about to run towards the pair with malicious intent when Troy instantly grabbed him from behind and yanked, breaking his starting momentum. The crazy sailor struggled against his sane friend, pushing him into a wooden create then went over to where Kenren and Tsumiki are. He grabbed a sharp and curved naginata to strike from behind.

"Ken-nii! Look out-!" Tsumiki cried out.

Milo was about to plunge the oriental lance into Kenren when suddenly he was blocked by something that's as black as a crow. With slit-pupil ash purple eyes glaring at him, bursts of wind sprung from the swing of the katana Chenglei found lying around; making Milo crash into another random wooden create.

"Dun. Touch. 'Em." The dyed blonde growled, akin to a dragon.

Kenren immediately hugged Tsumiki, shielding her, but he never felt the blow. Chenglei had protected them. He got this, so the prince quickly untied the ropes and led her to safety. Anything could happen, so he didn't leave her and watched the fight. Chenglei had a sword now, now way this sailor could win against him.

Steel clashed, sparks flew as they scraped each other off to block the swings of their enemy's blade. Milo is unexpectedly good at using the oriental lance as he used both ends while defending and attacking. Chenglei could barely keep up with blocking the long swings of the spear, receiving stinging cuts on his arms and legs. He could only reach the deranged man by letting out whirlwind sickles, spurting out thin trails of blood as the winds blew it away. Yet the man still stood and attacked without qualms. This fight was long and yet each strike fueled the disguised blonde to not lose...

What's driving him crazy is Milo's whispered promises of treating him 'right', smirking every time he got Chenglei to wince.

"What's wrong, lovely? Can't handle a silly cut?!" He asked mockingly, striking downwards. Chenglei blocked it, one hand on the hilt while the other is on the blade's flat side. Milo put all his weight in that strike, making Chenglei to lean back as his arms trembled from the stunning sting. He didn't comment, he didn't reply; his expression said it all. He wanted this man to shut up.

"Aww~ Come on, lovely. Talk with me. I want to hear your pretty pretty voice."

"...Ew." Tsumiki muttered, scrunching up her nose in disgust.

"Come on. You were talking much more before he came in. Is that why? Is it because he takes your voice away from you?" Milo questioned as he applied more pressure. Chenglei glared when he chuckled low. "Don't worry. Once I take you away from him, you can tal-"

"Shut up. Shut.UP!" Chenglei shouted angrily as he twisted his body inside the man's space; causing the sailor to fall down from his momentum of his weight. Then, as if he was going to un-sheath his sword, Chenglei banged the man under his chin with the hilt's end. He ended it with another swing, causing winds to blow him away from his family and crashing into the wooden boxes again. Milo is unconscious, eyes rolled back with a black bruise forming under his chin.

Chenglei panted as he shakily stood up from his stance. Troy whistled, impressed. He was beside the teen girl while his crazy friend and Chenglei was fighting, putting an arm out in front of the pair in case his friend had the bright idea of attacking them too.

"Get the port authorities and some healing potions." Kenren told Troy once the crazy pervert was down. Once the man had left, he held Chenglei's shoulder reassuringly. "I'll tie him up, Tsumiki, stay close to your brother and tend to his wounds."

He joined her later after he had bound, gagged, and blind-folded the fool, not really caring that his knots were too tight. "Are you alright?" said Kenren gently, cupping Chenglei's cheeks and looking into his eyes. "Did he touch you?"

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

"Right. On it." Troy left to grab the authorities.

Tsumiki nodded, going to her brother and grabbing his hand to pull him away; not wanting her brother to be any closer to the idiot. Once she got him to sit down on a create, the teen looked around and found some ointments and bandages nearby. So she mended her very silent brother's wounds. Then she went off again to find more bandages.

Chenglei didn't flinch when Kenren cupped his bruised cheek, leaning on his hand as he lets out a relieved sigh. His tense and trembling shoulders slumped as he stared back with slit-like pupils. Golden scales stared to form onto his neck and hands; pressing his hand onto Kenren's so he can nuzzle into it.

"J-Jus' a-a p-p-punch...groped meh chest an' figured out I was a guy..."Chenglei muttered before letting out a soft whine akin to a puppy. "I'm so relieved ya are 'ere, Ken'en. I really am..."

Kenren was relieved he could bring Chenglei comfort. "I'll sanitize you." he said, then went behind him and hugged him, rubbing his chest comfortingly, then blowing and kissing the places he got punched, "Where else did he punch you and touch you?"

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

Chenglei turned red, light purring emanated from his chest as he leaned into Kenren's kisses on his cheek. He placed his hands over Kenren's.

"M-Meh ears...he whispered intah meh ears an' touched meh 'ere and 'ere." He moved his peachy prince's hands to his shoulders, stomach, and arms. The dyed blonde raised his wrist, offering it up with a tiny plea in his eyes. "Please kiss it better, meh peachy Prince?" The soldier's face and ears changed into a redder hue. He really loved having Kenren's attention like this and wiggled a bit when Kenren found a ticklish spot on his side.

Kenren rubbed all those spots, blew on them, then kissed them with all the care in the world as he held Chenglei gently. Each touch spoke of how much he wanted to heal everything that had happened, and was glad his love wiggled, looking more cheery --- and cheery enough to flirt. He found him better clothes to wear, no point pretending he is a lady now, but at least they can still pretend they were men of fake identities. Something big like this was sure to be the talk of the town, and he didn't want his date with Chenglei to reach unfriendly ears.

After they told the authorities what had happened, and Kenren promised the guards that he will visit the town jail to arrange fitting justice for the mad man, it was off to where Chenglei wanted to go where he was most comfortable. Once they were there, the prince rained kisses on his purring dragon's face, asking if he felt better and if there was anything more he could do for him, also asking him if he likes to eat or drink something before lunch.

Chenglei was completely red when he changed clothes, now comfortable despite the tight bandages. He wore a light purple changshan with golden decorative strings holding closed. Loose black martial art pants is held up with a golden sash as a belt and had the bottom parts around his ankles with black leather braces. Black simple flat shoes covered his feet. Over his shoulders is a dark blue robe to stay warm and had his long hair down in a low ponytail with a decorative gold string. He basically looked like a normal citizen.

As the authorities took Milo away with cuffs, Troy volunteered to be a witness for Kenren's case against him. They may be friends, but he won't let him escape what he deserve. So with a respectful nod at the trio, he left back to his crew and leaving his information in case Kenren ever wanted to contact him for something.

When that's over with, Chenglei lead Tsumiki and Kenren to the young grove of trees, determined to continue their date. He even went back to the butcher and retrieve the basket of food and returned with a blanket under his arm too. The teen girl ran off to climb on the trees after they set up the picnic blanket and basket to the side; that was the moment when the soldier was rained with kisses on his reddening face. He purred happily, chuckling quietly.

"Jus' hold meh close an' I'll feel bettah." He said, kissing the tip of his nose before grabbing a piece of skinned apple that looked like a cute bunny to offer up to Kenren. "Say ah~" His little sister was the one who cut the apples into cute apple bunnies, all lined up on the small plate that's inside of the filled basket.

"Ahhhh~" said Kenren, snuggly hugging Chenglei from behind. His back was to a tree, and he let Chenglei lean on him as he ate bunny apples. He was glad he was determined to be happy, and the prince too will just enjoy their time together. He caressed Chenglei's hair, and gave his shoulders a massage as they talked about simple things. The prince alternated with him, feeding him some of that smoked ham.

The morning was bright and as Kenren leaned back, enjoying the breeze and the feel of Chenglei in his arms, he saw a bird flutter on a nest on one of the young trees. There was a multitude of little chirping and though he could only see the bottom, he knew that a mother bird was feeding her chicks. That was nice, the birds were coming back to the land.

"Chenglei, look." he pointed up at the nest. "Remember how Granny Zhou used to feed the birds back at home and they were so trusting they would hop on her hand? She'd whistle that tune, but I forgot what it was."

Chenglei smiled, enjoying their time together and melting into Kenren's touches as he offered the apple bunnies; even eating some that was offered from the prince. "Ahhh~ Nom-!" He looked like a happy chipmunk with the way his cheeks plumped up as he ate. Leaning on him, the dyed blonde soldier nuzzles under his chin and snuggled into the hug. Sometimes rubbing his thumbs on his arms and leaving kisses on his shoulders.

He looked up to what Kenren is pointing to and his smile grew warm, nodding from the memory.

"Yea, I remembah...I think it was a nursery rhyme she was whistlin'....Hmm..." Chenglei tilted his head a bit, trying to remember the song itself. Then he whistled the tune his grandmother did before, only a few notes were off. He chuckled quietly as to not break the comforting tranquility. "Looks like I can't remember the whole song either...it has been a while since I last heard it..."

He stayed quiet afterwards, just watching the mother bird feed her baby and they reminded him of Renee and how she fed her baby dragon...

Then Chenglei heard his little sister singing lightly from up on the lower branches of a tree close to the pair of men. Her legs swayed as Tsumiki had her eyes closed. What made the older brother to chuckle again was the small group of little birds landing on his sister. There's a blue one on her head, a pair of yellow ones on her right shoulder while a brown one chirped along with her.

"Looks lik' Tsu has Granny's knack wit' birds..."

Spoiler: Tsumiki's nursery rhyme

"Mm." agreed Kenren, tucking a stray hair away as he rubbed his cheeks. Listening to Tsumiki, he started to remember the song and hummed along too. He made himself comfortable under the tree, blissfully looking forward to the rest of his and Chenglei's lives together. He wondered what Tsumiki will grow up into, and what their house and the horse stables would look like together with the pond. He finally remembered something, and muttered something in Chenglei's hair. "Chenglei, would it be alright if you don't wear women disguises anymore? Unless it is absolutely life and death necessary?"

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

"Hm?" Chenglei had lean into Kenren's hands as he rubbed his cheeks.

"Sure...mind tellin' meh why though?" He wondered if it's because of what just happened or...is it something else. Wearing women disguises helped a lot with gathering information and not that many people would think he could pull it off; it's a good strategy to use. So the blonde listened with open ears if Kenren told the truth.

Zer0

"Because of what happened today, and also because . . . I always end up irrationally hating the guys who like you. I can't help myself. And when that psycho was talking about how you are so beautiful he must do something, and treating you like that, without any respect, touching you. I wanted to kill him. It was that bad. Blowing our cover actually didn't feel like a priority when he was . . . talking to you like a sicko."

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

Chenglei peeked over his shoulder as he listened to Kenren and blinked. Then he turned within the snugly hug, sitting on his lap as he cupped his cheek. "I see..." He pondered for a moment. "So ya get jealous at men who flirt at me...wat happene' today made dat part of ya on almost full blast. " He concluded, lightly pecking the tip of Kenren's nose.

"Howevah...ya resisted on murdering him and he will pay for his crimes now. Ya saved meh sistah too. Dat gave meh enough courage tuh stand up against him." He pecked his cheeks and up his temples. "I lov' ya Ken'en an' I'll always return tuh ya. Dat I swear..."

"I also swear on nuh tuh wear women's clothing either unless it's really needed in life or death." He muttered in Kenren's ear, letting out his purr as he lightly kissed his ear too.

"I love you too, Chenglei. And I know." said Kenren, smiling as Chenglei pecked his cheeks and temples. "I know you will always return." he hugged his chest. "And thanks, that makes me relieved." he added, nuzzling into his clothes.

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

His purring got louder as Kenren nuzzled into his clothes; Chenglei left a kiss on top of his head. "I'm glad." Chenglei muttered as he sighed. He pulled Kenren closer, bringing the dark blue warm robe around him too. Suddenly a flash of light blinded the soldier and heard his sister's laughter.

"Kuhuahuahua!"

"Tsumiki!" Chenglei cried out as he rubbed his eyes, seeing his little sister holding...their camera! "When did ya take dat?"

"When you guys were being lovey dovey...and now-" Another flash blinded Chenglei again. "I have more proof for Granny!"

"...Is dat why ya left Granny an' followed us?"

"...Nooo~....Maybe....Yea, Granny wanted proof of you two being love birds and I got proof~!" Chenglei could only stare in exasperated disbelief at his laughing sister who's having too much fun taking pictures of the couple. Then he sighed and hid his reddening face into Kenren's shoulder; heat radiated from his cheeks and subtly nuzzled against Kenren's cheeks.

"I give up...My sistah is too much..."

"Tsumiki!" said Kenren at the same time Chenglei did. He chuckled, and posed, grinning at the camera as he leaned on Chenglei's chest, then gave his head a kiss as his love hid his reddening face into his shoulder. The prince happily posed for her: one where he kissed Chenglei's cheek, another where he was sniffing his chin, and one where he held his hand and held it high in the air as though they had won something.

"Come and join us, Tsumiki!" said Kenren. "Maybe you can make something float down on that button ma-jig to take the picture for us!"

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

Tsumiki took each pose and in each pose had Chenglei's red and shy face. She perked up when Kenren invited her and nodded but when she looked around, the teen couldn't find an item that she can drop on the camera without breaking it.

"Hold on. Let me see if I can find something to fall on the camera." Then she ran off towards the seaport market. Chenglei covered his red face with his hands, hiding his silly and humbling grin. "Oh meh goodness...Ya ar' as bad as Tsu." His voice muffled as he chuckled.

Zer0

 

[Zer0]

- A Wish From a Sister to a Brother -
" Port, Town of Toulouse, Frankia "​

"Because I like making you shy." purred Kenren, cheekily rubbing Chenglei's chest. "Hmm, how long do you think it's going to take Tsumiki to come back?" he added thoughtfully, his rubbing moving lower and lower.

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

"...H-Hhiiiiieeee...."

Flustered, Chenglei peeked through his fingers and playfully glared at the cheeky prince before he let out a quiet huff. Then he hugged Kenren's head close to his chest, squirming from the rubbings. "Hrph! N-Not long enough."

He placed kisses on top of the prince's head and sighed happily. "Ken'en, I love ya so much..."Chenglei left kisses on his temples.
