Under the Shadow of The Old Oak Tree (Rp)

Jonah sent a smile back to Mich before turning back to the astonished Jayson. "This isn't the first time he has ever convinced a person with so much pride as this guy " he thought before coming up with a response. "Well if you don't want to accept it personally then why don't you build up your store with this and become the kingdoms offical supply for weaponry" he offered. "Though it would be a lot of work you don't seem like the type to be afraid of it and you would be in full control of everything" he said with a confident smile refusing to accept it back.
 
Jayson couldn't help but smile at the two young men. They were so eager and full of life. He laughed and pocketed the box with a smile. 'Alright, alright. Calm down. i'll accept this with grace.' He said with a smile, gently touching his brother's shoulders. 'Let's go now. I don't like this place much.' Michahael smiled at the prince and tugged on his hand lightly. 'Come on.' Michahael murmured in a gentle voice. They started the trek back home, Michahael hanging on a kind of high that only being around the one you cared about could give.
 
Jonah smiled at Jayson "Thanks" he answered as he looked back over to Mich as he tugged on his hand. Hearing him say "Lets go" Jonah nodded smiling and followed him out of this god forsaken Castle making sure he stood between Mich and Jayson his fingers accidently Intertwining wih Mich's in a small fear it could happen all over again.
 
Elle's mouth dropped but she quickly composed herself before falling into a fit of laughter "Damien!" she said imbetween laughter she wiped a fake tear from her eye and smiled "I think that is the most ive laughed in ages." she giggled as she sat in her wheelchair once more "Um secret location pleasee!" she said happily waiting for him to push her
 
Michahael couldn't help his heart skipping a beat as jonah's fingers intwined like laces with his, fitting perfectly. He was smitten, that much was obvious to him. The house came into view and jayson split off from them to talk to a trader in the street about metal deliveries, while the other two continued. Once at the house Michahael lshowed Jonah his room. It was darker, with the curtains covering the windows that gave it a slightly crimson gleam due to the mauve coloured curtains. his desk was cluttered with drawings and art supplies and a small chibi plushie of a blue policebox. A ton of posters for his favourite bands hung along the walls and a dark blue bedspread covered his bed, a wolf on the front. He also had matching pillows. 'Uhh.. this is my room..'
 
"It's . . ." Jonah said trying to think of the best posisble choice of words. "A bit dim" he replied examing every little thing of the room that seemed to catch his eyes. "Oh you draw" he asked looking at a few of the drawings before noticing the chibi plushie "This thing is cute though" he replied gleefully looking at it closer up while alse bringing his had up to look at a lot of these music groups that he had never evne heard of before. Laying back with a sigh he noiced the wolf as soon as he reached the bedspread and jumped sitting back up. Shaking his head he looked at Mich " Real sorry to bother you but is there something to drink" he asked.
 
Michahael flushed a slight pink, rubbing the back of his neck as Jonah complimented his stuff. He switched on the light so that the room was less dim. 'And the lord said let there be light, and there was,' he joked, flashing his friend a smile. 'I'll be back, I'll just grab us something from the kitchen.' he said, walking down to the kitchen and rummaging through the cupboard. He pulled out a bottle of water from the fridge, grabbing two glasses and carrying the glasses and water back up to his room. It wouldn't be till much later that he realised he'd grabbed the vodka instead. He entered the room, flashing a smile to the prince. 'I hope water is okay.' He said, setting the glasses on the desk, pushing aside all of the art supplies to make room. He poured Jonah a glass before his own, not noticing the smell due to the scnet of turpentine that coated his room from his paints.
 
"Thanks" Jonah said with a smile watching Mich go down and come back up with a clear bottle which he stated was water and 2 tall glasses. He watched as he poured his glass and didn't hesitate gulping the glass down thirstly. This water tasted diffrent then what he was used to as he shook his head trying o be anyless dizzy "But the taste really is amazing" he added himself. Before Mich could take a first sip Jonah placed the glass down quickly but gently and turned to Much "May I have another glass of waer" he asked smiling.
 
Michahael made a face at the bitter taste. It was strange, but he supposed the piping tended to get tainted sometimes and so thought nothing of it. It burnt his throat slightly on the way down, but he poured them both another glass. It was strange that he was simply thirstier after his second glass. After a few minutes he began to feel strangely light headed, and he set his glass down, glancing over at Jonah with newfound interest. 'Another or have you had enough?' He asked, still oblivious to what it was they were actually drinking, having never actually touched the stuff before. The light flickered slightly and he felt dizzy. he didn't know if there was something wrong with their water or what. He wondered if it was affecting Jonah too. 'Jonah.. I just want to say.. I'm sorry again.. i should have kept a better eye on you.'
 
Damien chuckled a bit at her reaction, happy to see she got his joke


"he he... ok then.."


he got up and took her by the chair, pushing her out


"do you remember that elevator we took to the lowest dungeons?... well here's a secret, it goes even further..."


he pushed her for several minutes, getting her to the elevator once more, once in, he began pressing a combination of numbers, finishing with pressing 0 multiple times, and then, a small panel flicked open, with an "infinite" sign on it, Damien clicked it, and the elevator went on it's way.


"then i came back, the first thing i did was instruct the builders to make some... additions to the elevator..."


the elevator went down incredibly fast, elle actually felt lighter, everything became smothered in darkness, then she saw the light of the floor of the "lowest dungeon" passing them, and they just continued down and down and down...
 
"Oh no no no Its fine I don't care so much as long as were here now" he said dizzy now setting the glass back down . "And another glass please" he said smiling. Jonah's head was now completly dizzy and it was easy to tell he was drunk when Mich was aware it wasn't just water. After accepting the third glass he began drinking that too, Jonah was having a lot of trouble seeing straight. He quickly downed it again to see that was the last of the bottle. "Hey you know how good of a f-f-freind you are" he said with a lame smile tilting back and forth in his seat using Mich as support.
 
Michahael reluctantly poured another glass for both of them and then set the bottle aside. 'I think... we ought to stop drinking this.' He said with a slight laugh. Seeing how they'd been drinking it not in shots but in large glasses, so they were drunk easier. And neither of them having had alcohol before, well it was easy to see why they were so easily affected. The dark haired teen Smiled goofily at the prince, gently taking hold of his hand and running his fingers along his palm. 'Yeah.. i try man.. I mean.. ithink you're reeaaalllllyyy great..' He said, going red in the face as he realised what he was saying. What the hell? Why was he acting like such an idiot? he tried to correct his words but his gaze met Jonah's and he became lost for words. 'I-I don't..' He trailed off, mesmerised.
 
Jonah watched him with a smirk on his face the entire time "God was he always this hot" he thought smiling all the way when he felt Mich's finger on his palms and he began bablling like a brook. "Ahhhh come on now don't worry I think your real awesome too" he said scooting in to feel the gap between them before leaning in to deliver a kiss similar to the one Mich had given him the day of the wedding as Jonah wrapped his arms around him in a hug as he proceeded. "This feels Great" he thought dizzly inside his head continuing.
 
Michahael was taken completely by surprise as jonah kissed him. it felt so wrong and so right, like it had earlier when they'd kissed. Gently he tugged him closer, returning the kiss with everything he had, his arms wrapping around him and pressing closer to him. How long had he wanted to do this? To be able to kiss him, and share how he felt without having to explain why? He couldn't think clearly. He was pretty sure it was because of the alcohol, but he didn't care. He tugged lightly on his shirt running a hand along his back and feeling the warmth of his skin. Was it wrong for him to do this? He was pretty sure it probably was, but he had hit the state that he didnt care anymore. He'd just had to endure the fear of losing him forever, the least he could do was show him what he meant to him.
 
After continuing this for a few more seconds which in a relative sense felt like forever Jonah came out having to breath his face already a light crimson red. Mich was just so warm but now i was just becoming unbearable as he nuzzeled himself comfortably between Mich's Neck and shoulder blade. "I don't want to be married to some random women" he said beginning to tear up which was easy due to his drunken state. He dug himself into that same spot even more ready to confess a lot of things on his chest "I can;t get married because I don't know if Iv;e ever liked anyone as much as you though" he said with a sniffle. "But I can't lose anyone else on the family I mean Damian leaving me was hard enough but if people find out I like or maybe even Love you I don't think I could do with the seperation that might come with it" he finished beginning to lightly sob into his shoulder.
 
Jonah's confession startled him. Had he really just confessed to having feelings for him? It made no sense. But thenagain, the boy was drunk, so he was bound to be affected by the alcohol's influence. But still, it pleased him to hear the words coming from his mouth. He gently rubbed Jonah's back, comforting the boy as he sobbed. 'It's okay.. It will be okay I promise.' He said softly, kissing the top of his head in a gentle manner. He moved slightly so he could see Jonah's face, wiping away some of the tears as he tilted his head up to look at him. 'You've been through a lot today, why not just relax? Take a nap before we go back to the castle, okay? You can sleep in here.' he murmured, kissing him lighter this time, gently taking his hand and linking his fingers with the prince's, gently tugging him over the the other end of the bed. 'I'll even stay here with you if that's what you want.' He promised, bringing Jonah;s hand to his lips.
 
Jonah felt relaxed when he felt the hand on his back as his sobbing was slowly calming down to a sniffle. As Mich tilted his head up so they were eye to eye. Jonah kept looking a Mich listening to him deeply ashe wiped the tears from his eyes. "I don't know why I haven;t seen him like this before" he thought as jonah nodded at the suggestion of laying down. Jonah Intertwined his fingers along wih Mich as he was manevured onto the other side of the bed. Hearing his offer to stay with him Jonah nodded slowly the alchol now making him tired as he muttered the phrase "I love you" before drifting off to sleep soundlessly.
 
Michahael gently pulled the prince into his arms, kissing the top of his head gently, resting his cheek against the boy's head, his arms around Jaonah's waist. He would stay just as he'd promised. His murmured words surprised and pleased Michahael as he too drifted off, his hand still clasping the prince's. 'And I love you,Prince Jonah.' He murmured back, kissing his head again and drifting into a pleasant slumber. He would protect him, as much as he possibly could, he decided as he dozed off, wondering what would happen when the royals realised Jonah had disappeared.
 
After an entire night of sleep Jonah began to slowly wake up with the most instense headache has ever had. "Ow ow ow" He thought trying to sit up when he saw he couldn't and was wrapped in the arms of Mich. Jonah having a mini freakout was trying to figure out how he got himself in the situation "God I cant remember anything from last night" he thought panicky hoping he never did anything he would regret in the future. Jonah was halfway of getting out of Mich's grip when he heard the door turn "Crap it's probably Jayson coming to check on us" he thought looking around in van for an escape.
 
Elle had to admit she was a little afriad of where this went, she could protect herself if need be, she was tense in her chair and her hamds were fists, she ignored the burst of pain in her back from her tention. She looked at him and said "how far does this go?" she shuddered as the vold air clung to her skin
 
The movement of Jonah waking caused Michahael to stir, yawning and muttering something about another ten minutes. He tightened his grip on jonah as if he were a teddy bear. He didn't know of course that it was in fact Jonah. the moment he felt the material from his clothing however, he knew something wasn't right and opened his eyes. He smiled sleepily at the prince, not registering that he shouldn't be there. 'Goodmorning..' He murmured, stretching and then moving to snuggle with him again before it registered and he leapt back, releasing him. 'Holy-! Jonah what the hell are you doing here?' He exclaimed, just as his brother walked into the room, a frown on his face. 'Is everything alright?' he asked, looking from one boy to the other. Michahael blushed bright red as memories flooded back along with an intense migraine. 'Sh*t..' He cursed under his breath, holding a hand to his head. Jayson frowned, looking over at him and then caught sight of the vodka. Recognising the bottle he began to laugh. 'You two probably had quite a night. Here, I'll take that back downstairs and then bring you some painkillers and some water, okay?' Michahael just nodded and Jayson left, taking the glasses and alcohol with him, laughing.
 
Damien put his big, warm hand on elle's shoulder "as far as it needs to... you wanted to see my secret, right?..." the elevator continued down, but outside it was no longer darkness, but there was a stange green light coming through the roots, and down below, were lights, hundreds upon thousands of lights, some moving, some stationary, it wasn't some nest of luminescent bugs, it was a city, nay, a metropolis!


"this is where i came in my exile... these are as much my people, as the people of the palace and the city above are..."


the elevator finally arrived, a large group of people gathers, all wearing strange clothes, loincloths, strange robes ect... these were the outcasts, but they looked nothing like what its said up above, that they all live in horrid squalour where they pass their days raping and killing all who come down, no, this was a community, to each side of the elevator door, stood a royal guard, who's shining uiforms stood so much apart from the locals


Damien held out a hand to Elle, he knew she could walk at least a little, and he needed to show his people that he wasn't marrying some weak, pathetic cripple.
 
Elle looked around in wonder and took his hand clenching her teeth to deal with the pain she wobbled slightly and used his arms to support herself "its beautiful down here" she looked around and smiled she thought she mind need his hand to keep herself stable but she was to embarresed to ask, she did have shame.
 
"God what happened last night" Jonah finally asked him the thumping in his head causing him to speak in a low volume. "I hope nothing embarrassing happened like those stories around the kingdom of people getting married while drunk but Jonah was pretty sure he would now if that happened. As jonah was trying to clear his head he remembered his family all probably waiting for him. "Crap" he thought standing up but quickly fell back down leaning heavily on Mich clutching his head wishing the pain would go away.
 
Michahael caught the prince carefully, cradling him against his body. 'If I remember correctly, you came on to me...' He trailed off, straining to remember what else had happened. He had a strange feeling he should remember it. It was something important surely? He gently stroked his head, pressing his lips against the top of his head, onto the soft blonde crown of hair. 'We'll go to the castle as soon as that headache goes away, okay?' He assured him, an arm around his waist. 'It will be okay, I promise.' He murmured. After a moment he looked down at him, gently cupping his chin in his hand, tilting Jonah's face to look at him. 'I think i remember now.' He murmured before crushing his lips down on his again. He wouldn't let him pull away. Not this time.
