♡Our, Dendrobium.♡ [ScaraKazu]

Ch. 18; -One last, maybe one more..-

=============================
"Thank you.. thank you." He mutters against their kiss, before pulling back the other male into one last kiss. The albino smiles at his words, pulling him down so he sits on his lap, wrapping arms around his waist while hiding his face in his shoulder. "I missed this scent of yours.. Lavender.. and Sakura blossom, a hint of refreshing mint too." He lets out soft whispers at that. "That sounds weird you complimenting about that." Shrugging a little, "Maybe, but I would definetly always get this specific scent if jt was a perfume. Is that too extra?" He lifts his head up slightly.

"It would be weird if it was anyone but you. And.. that also sounded weird." They both laughed at their stupid actions, forgetting about what happend like 15 minutes ago. Who could blame them?

=============================

"Thanks 'Zou for letting me spend the night here, i definetly owe you." The detective smiles at his kindness. "No need, I'm just happy I could help out a person outside of cases." And so they both left to their room again, it was still the late hours of morning, they could do a lot.

After a while of being in the room, Kazuha started to hear the other muttering out some words, while having a notebook and a feather pen in hand. "Kaedezu.. no.. Kazunoko.. maybe..." curious, he walks up to the raven. "What are you even trying to find? A name for a cat or something? Just saying, if we are on a journey like this that cat would have to stay here." Scaramouche shakes his head, "I hated the fact you both had nicknames for eachother. Sure, darling and my dove works but I want more. So, I'm thinking of some. Hm.. "Zuzu"?" Kazuha's cheeks became soft pink as he heard him say that, the nickname was childish. But cute. "It's okay, I suppose. I rather "darling" still though." Scaramouche smiles and lists another set of nicknames, guess he wanted more than one huh.

"Kaz, Zuzu, Darling.." at the end, the raven was satisfied, and called him each of the nicknames one by one to test his reactions. Each reaction was unique, one of them was a smile, the other was a blush, so on. But he did agree, whenever he called Kazuha "darling" He would both blush, smile, hide his face while his crimson red eyes drifted off from their eye contact, possibly questioning everything. Sure, sometimes it didint affect him. But most of the time, this senscere reaction was present.

"You are so adorable whenever you are flustered, dear Kazuha." He leans closer to remove his hands from his face. "And I want to see every single bit of it." In an attempt to hide his face again, Scaramouche abruptly kissed him, in fact, not as gentle. It wasn't a kiss that gave out the wrong intentions, but it sure was enough to tell him to listen. "Dear, dear Kazuha, no hiding your reactions. This is what it's all about."

Just a few minutes after that, Scaramouche managed to make Kazuha that flustered that eventually he didint resist from the surprise hug, a very tight one. In fact, he even nuzzled his face into the raven's crook of his neck, and his grip on the shoulders tightened with each compliment he received. Deciding to take revenge, he starts planting soft and small kisses along his jawline, slowly making up to his face.

"Stop it.." The raven slightly whispers, in an embarrassed yet shy tone. Kazuha just kept going, planting a kiss on his forehead,cheeks,nose, even sometimes lips repeatedly. Always saying "one more, actually.. a couple" each time Scaramouche insisted on him stopping. "Kaz." He manages to say out again, wrapping arms around his back. "If you don't stop, I'll do the same thing to you. For hours." A halt came from the shorter, but he still continued afterwards.

No idea how to get put of the situation, he just let Kazuha give him the love he so desperately rejected, no escaping from this prince's hugs anymore.

=============================

"You have to move out to Liyue this week. We are lucky enough they didint think of checking the nearest city, instead, the nearest kingdom. The crux you talk about, you need to get to Ritou, right?" Kujou Sara glanced at papers, probably containing maps, also a route to Liyue, or other stuff. "Yes, but they can come to any shore if the depth is enough for them to pass." Kazuha answers. "Hm. Ritou is the better option, you sure you both can get there alive? You still have exactly 6 days to prepare, it also would give time to let any old wounds heal." She commented, handing s couple of papers to a soldier across the table.

"If only one of us can live, I'll make sure it's him." Scaramouche instantly argued back. "We both will go out of here alive Scaramouche. Don't say stuff like that," [A faint sigh could be heard] "We still need a plan to get there. Unless, any remaining soldier has went to the others for war." The albino added, quite confident.

"I would really love the idea of that, but as much as it would be good, I'm dissapointed to say from my investigations.. The Celestial Kingdom has close to unlimited soldiers. It's like the old Tevyat's power kingdom.. Khaenri'ah. Without a queen, king, or even royalty, pure man power. Though, Celestial Kingdom does have royalty." The detective walked in, with a cup of coffee. "As much as I want to deny that, I also did some research on that topic. And, sadly, that is true." The raven commented on his statement.

"Then.. how will we get to Ritou?" Kazuha asked. Liyue was their only escape, if Watatsumi Kingdom wasn't destroyed they could easily use one of their bubble transports to go to Ritou. But Celestial Kingdom knew that.

"The most logical way is by the forest. From what I know they have heat detectors. Like a snake's vision. They can't exactly see from behind trees or branches. If you could somehow jump from tree to tree, while your horse follows your track from the ground, you could easily get there." Kujou Sara suggests, all of them agree.

It was a hard way to go there, but the other possibilities are a pure life or death. Depends purely on how many soldiers they left for patrol.

=============================

Back at their room, Kazuha insisted that he checks up on the other's wound. "I'm fine Kaz, it's healing. I'm not a weak nobody." Kazuha simply shakes his head. "I'm just afraid of infection," [He gently hovers his hand over the scar.] "It's still kind of open. Trust me, I know you can deal with it. But let me treat it, for the sake of me not worrying day and night." He stands up and goes to grab the First-aid-kit from the bathroom.

Scarsmouche just laid there, smiling to himself. Afterwards the albino got back, treating the wound rather nicely. Like he signed up to be a medical support in a war instead King. "There, don't move too much for a few hours. In the morning, I'll bandage it up again. You should be fine afterwards." He gives a quick peck before going to set the kit back to its own place.

He lays down beside the prince, cradling him in his warm embrace. "Don't wake up at 2 am just because you heard a tiny sound this time." The raven mutters out. "Alright, I won't." The albino responds.

=============================

"Goodnight, tell me if the wound hurts at all."

"Yeah sure.. goodnight."
