Under the Shadow of The Old Oak Tree (Rp)

Jonah looked up at the boy trying to remember who he was but then remembered the day right before. "Your the guy who kissed me" he whispered out blushing taking one more look at him. "Well what are you going to do o me then" he asked nervous just now noticing Michael hand on his chest and looked up at him terrified all over again, wincing where he couldn't see it as he increased the pressure on him.
 
Michahael bit his lip nervously. What should he do? 'I want to apologise. My actions were unforgivable, but i hope you can forgive me.' He said softly, unsure of if he could forgive him. It was so wrong for him to even be touching the prince in the manner he was. After a moment he moved the hand away, bowing his head. He didn't know if the prince would call for the guards. he still looked panicked. Perhaps this was a mistake. 'Your highness, forgive me..'
 
Jonah looked at him rubbing the back of his neck when he bowed dropping his guard. "Please it's okay I -I forgive you and everything but you know after what happened today I've been all jumpy and I just cant help but be scared when someone comes and drag me off to a corner" he admitted looking at the boy again. "What is it about me anyway" he asked confused.
 
"well, i think it'll be better if i talk to them, dont worry, they'll be disciplined..."


he lay his head back, taking a deep breath ".... quite the day, eh?"
 
Michahael felt a slight blush creep through his cheeks. What was it about him? How could he respond to that? He sighed, leaning back slightly. 'I.. I like how you treat everyone. You don't judge us.. I wanted to come talk to you yesterday.. but I panicked..' Kind of like i'm doing now.. He thought to himself, putting his hands in his pockets.
 
"Well your alright yourself" he said smiling, "A bit open with your feelings" he added "But you are still a really nice guy overall" he said patting his shoulders. "You reallyl are odd but I guess that's okay too" Jonah replied looking around him. "Is there anything else or is it Possible for me to get out of the corner" he said taking a step tripping a bit as he fell on Michael just so he wouldn't collapse. "Oh sorry" he said a little embarrassed getting his footing as he forgot he was still hanging on to Michael and looked up at him grinning a little bit not really understanding Michael's feelings at all.
 
Michahael's breath caught slightly as the prince tripped, instantly he reached out and caught him. His face was tilted upwards towards him and he couldn't help but return the prince's smile. He helped him stand again and, vven though it was stupid of him, he leant down and kissed him again, forgetting himself in his own desire. No one was around to see them, or so he hoped. He didn't know why he wanted to be with this guy. it made no sense to him whatsoever. But hey, who cared right? Well obviously the prince would.. and everyone else.. God forbid if he were found out. Hardly anyone knew his secret. If anyone else were to know.. he didn't know what he'd do. He didn't move away this time, not even knowing if the prince was even interested in that kind of thing, but hoping, hoping so very much.
 
Jonah looked confused as Michael suddenly leaned down and kissed him again causing Jonah's eyes to enlarge greatly as he didn't pull or push away. He expected Michael to pull away like last time but all he did was hang on and he did not seem to intend letting Jonah go easily. Jonah stood there as if it was only those two in the world "What should I do this feels so right and wrong" he thought trying to think in the few seconds he could. Jonah leaned against the wall still hanging on to Michael as he fell back with him. His eyes never seemed to show him being calm as his worse thoughts were that someone would see them and then with the way it looks Michael would be punished severely for all of this but Jonah guessed if he was willing to risk it he wouldn't stop him as he tried not to kiss back scared of missing up, letting Michael do all the work.
 
Michahael wanted the prince to kiss him back, even as they fell a step towards the wall and he pushed him gently against the surface. He couldn't tell if he wanted him to stop and couldn't say it because of fear or if he didn't care... It was most likely the first one. But he still didn't pull away. His hands rested on his waist from where he'd caught him and he pulled him a little closer now, wondering how he could obtain Jonah's favour. He should stop, he realised in the back of his mind, but he didn't want to. Even though his mouth was unyeilding, it made him want to keep kissing him. Eventually he pulled away so that he could speak. 'Please your highness.. please..' He whispered, almost begged him. Despite being two years older than him, he felt as though he were younger. Perhaps the need for contact was driving him mad.
 
Jonah looked away when he was pulled up so close to Michael. "But I don't think i'm ready for that" he admitted looking away not wanting to see if he was hurt or anything. "I mean this isn't right for us to be doing all of this" he said again. "I haven't told anyone and neither has father but he is already close to finding m bride and I couldn't stand if I got connected to someone before all this" he added shyly. "I mean I dont even know which gender I like" he admitted looking at him. "Guys are nice but they're too assertive in the relationship I would just be the Woman of it all" he said innocently.
 
Michahael's heart sunk. It had taken him so long. 'Let me help.. we don't have to do anything you don't want.. I just.. I just want to be with someone that would understand.' He pleaded. All he wanted was someone to share his time with. It was that or going back to his darkened room and spending his life wondering what could have been. He didn't want anything more than that. 'Let me show you.. You don't even have to be specific with gender. I'm not.. I'm not gay, nor am I straight, as you would have to be an idiot not to notice.' He flashed him a nervous smile, reaching for his hand. 'My lord, I would treat you only how you wished.. please..' He gazed at him with a pleading expression, holding the prince's hand to his chest.
 
All Jonah could do was look back at Michael blushing" Get off your new I feel like your proposing" he said taking his hand back gently. "Then we Can be Best Friends" he said offering his hand again but as a handshake instead. "I could even arrange you living closer to the castle if you and your brother wish" he offered smiling.
 
Michahael frowned. Had he just been... rejected? Still.. it was what the prince wanted. He stared at the hand being offered. It wasn't the same, not really. He wasn't sure if he was angry, confused or upset. maybe a bit of all three. 'i'm sorry.. for trying to pressure you.. if it is what you wish.. Then I would be honoured. But my brother.. he has worked hard on his business. I'll need to discuss it with him.' He bowed slightly, and suddenly remembered that he was shirtless. He almost laughed at his own stupidity, but instead he simply smiled slightly at the prince. 'I would appreciate it, my lord, if you would refrain from mentioning my actions to anyone. They might not understand, and in truth, I myself do not quite understand it.'
 
"That is fine its actually the same situation for me" he said laughing just as shyly remembering he was shirtless also. "Well" Jonah said thinking for a second when Michael mentioned his brothers business. "He could move his business down here" he suggesting pounding his hands together. "There are plenty of nobles who would want weapons from the person that me and My brother buys from" he answered.
 
'The thing is, my brother is affordable, unlike the other dealer in town. He is an honest worker sir, and the others appreciate it. He doesn't charge more than it is worth. I don't think he'd feel comfortable moving his forge up a level. It just wouldn't be fair to the working classes. not to mean any offense.' He said with another bow. He hoped that he wasn't making more trouble for the prince. He just wanted what was best for his brother. His brother loved the people of their district. He didn't mind helping them out, even if he hardly got anything for it. They respected him for what he did too. Surely the prince would understand. 'If we were to move to the wealthier district, my brother would probably ask to keep his shop where it is.'
 
Jonah sighed seeing it was no choice trying to convince them to move "Alright I get it Bu im going to find a way to get you over here one day" he teased seeing Him bow agan and frowned a little bit. "Stop all that bowing I said were friends so You don't have too" he half said half snapped at him.
 
Michahael almost blushed at his words, wondering why he wanted him to be there anyway. Not trying to say anything that might get him into trouble he spoke up. 'Sorry, your highness.' He paused a moment before continuing. 'If i'm not too forward in saying so, my brother has been insisting I look for work somewhere. If you were in need of someone.. such as a gardener or something.. I'm actually pretty good with plants...' He shrugged, trailing off.
 
"Really it would be cool if you could be a gardener here" he said happily calling Sebastian there as he appeared in the next minute. "Could you please take My freind here to be fitted for a gardener attire and clothes and have him meet with the boss over that so he can get acquainted" he said trying to make sure he didn't forget anything "Oh and Please prepare a room for him" he said as Sebastian gave a polite nod" As you wish sir" he said pushing Michael along as Jonah waved to him.
 
Tamotsu frowned a bit, she didn't seem too happy about not going. But if he said yes there'd be a change that he wouldn't be able to escort her. That situation would have been far worse. Throwing on a playful grin he smiled waving to her saying, "Oh don't worry I will." Turning his back he headed out the front gates and towards the poor district. There was a few things he wanted to do before joining up with Cash and the others. Thankful that Isis helped him with a job maybe he'd try to cheer her up the next time they saw each other. It was the aleast he could do. Cracking his neck he scuffed a bit, doing it just a bit too hard. In an unamused tone he muttered, "I really need to get out fo this stuffy suit.....Im dieing in this thing." Tamotsu did what he could to ignore his body over heating, trying to resist the urge to rip the suit completely off.
 
Michahael was confused. he'd only meant it as a suggestion. He had no idea that he'd be getting a job there. And where the hell had the servant appeared from? had he been there the whole time? He flashed Jonah a panicked look as he was pushed foreward. it wasn't until he nearly tripped over that he began to walk properly, giving in and sighing, shoving his hands in his pockets. Many of the servants gave him a strange look as he was ushered along. It wasn't every day that the staff saw a shirtless, bewildered and panic stricken teenager being led by the Prince's butler. 'i swear to god this better be worth it.' he muttered under his breath. The he cursed. how was he going to explain this one to his brother?
 
Damian tilted his head forward as she kissed it, he smiled a bit.


from down the hallway, some heavy footsteps came down, getting closer and closer, louder and louder untill the door burst open and one of Damian's "ex-exile" guards came through, like always his armour had incorporated a mixture of fur and feathers, and he had his tribal body paint on.


"Lord Damien, one of the assassins is ready to speak!"


"really? that was quick"


"the rats were... hungry, milord, he knew what was happening"


"okay... cover his feet and bind him... Elle, do you feel able to walk? or be moved?"
 
Elle smiled and shuddered slightly at the menion of rats, and agree'd that was fast.


"Yes, I can, not walk but being moved shouldn't be a problem." she said and she moved to the side of the bed, wobbling slightly, well a lot. She winced a couple of times and clenched ehr hands in fists. he was glad he was bringing her with him.
 
Damien bought over a wheelchair for her


"here, get off your feet" he helped her into the chair, making sure her bandages weren't pushed around or aside when she was in, they set off, with Damien pushing her.


"where is he?"


"in the lower reaches milord, we'll take the elevator down"


"wait... we have elevators!?"


"well yes sir... is it really that supprising? i mean, we have american drones flying around the outside of the tree all the time... we just don't have many such pieces of technology, sir"


"... huh... okay then"


they went towards the elevator shaft, it made sense, they used concrete and steel frames to prevent the tree from growing inside the elevator shaft...
 
Elle giggled and said "Of course we do." she waited for the elevator to arive, Damien seemed very gentle with her at all times, like she was made of glass. she hummed a tune, to break the scilence, bobbing her head back and forth.
