Another chance (kunizai)

Dazais pov

Kunikida teaching me how to swim was like he was training me for the army.

It was awful.

He kept making me go and go and never gave me a break until I got what he wanted me to get down. Then he would get mad when I didn't do something right and yelled at me.

Thanks to kunikidas training (touring) I was able to swim though I doubt I will ever really need to though.

"I am never going near another body of water again in my life" I mummbled into the pillow I had buried my face into. My muscles ace and I was exhausted.

Kunikida rubbed a circle on my back which did feel good but I was mad at him so I just glared.

"Aw come on it wasn't that bad".

"Bull shit! It was awful! I am now traumatized by you"!

Kunikida laughed before pulling me into his chest making me whine because of the soreness of my body.

I snuggled my face into his chest as he patted my hair and kissed my head.

"I'm sorry for being so rough on you love. I thought you could handle it".

"I don't know who could handle that! I doubt even Chuuya could do what you made me do back there and he's a royal guard while I'm a prince who sleeps half the day and lays around the other half"!

"We'll that's how I learned".

"You don't sleep half the day and lay around the other"!

Kunikida chuckled then kissed my head again while I snuggled closer to him.

"Thank you for teaching me though".

Kunikida smiled and continued rubbing my hair. "Your welcome. Thank you for letting me teach you ".

I smiled back and leaned up to him asking for a real kiss which he let me have.

It was short and sweet and when we pulled away I said a simple "your welcome" back and we both fell asleep.

I had the same nightmare as the night before yet I still felt the same fear as the night before even though I had alredy seen it. The faces the crying the screams. It was terrifying.

When I woke up again in the morning the sun was still rising and kunikida was still asleep.

I thought about getting up and making him breakfast but remembered that the only reason I was able to make food before was because he told me what to do and I had no idea how to make any food of my own.

Knowing I couldn't do anything else I stayed in bed by kunikidas side playing with his long blond hair.

I had always wanted to have the chance to play with it for myslef but he never let me and I never could wake up before him to do it until now.

"Having fun". A sleepy voice said and I nodded enthusiastically.

"Yea"!

"Mmmh ok". Kunikida moved his head so it laid on my lad while I pulled his hair into a braid.

After I was done I had kunikida check in the mirror and he smiled at my work.

"It's really good. Where did you learn to braid".

"I learned because Elise wanted me to braid her hair when we were younger and I liked messing with Chuuya by braiding his hair".

Kunikida rolled his eyes and started to leave the room to make breakfast. I fallowed him to the kitchen as he made breakfast.

I watched him cook and after he was done we ate then got ready to leave.

We mounted our horses then left the lake house behind.

"It was a nice gift from my family I just wish you could have enjoyed it more". Kunikida said to me and I shrugged.

"I did enjoy it. I just am not used to being away from the castle. My family never did go out much".

Kunikida nodded and we continued the rest of the trip talking about different things our families do.

When we got back to the castle it was once again sun set. Chuuya aku and a few other servants greeted us at the stables and we went inside.

The hallways of the castle where quiet like always with only the sound of shoes clicking on the tile. As we walked our hands brushed against each other so I grabbed his hand making him blush and me giggle.

We both were going to my room but Mori was there. He smiled at us.

"Hi welcome back you two how was the trip"?

"It was fine what do you want". I said and Mori laughed and shook his head.

"I wanted to show you myself to your new room".

New room!?

I had been in that room my entire life even before Mori came to power. I didn't want to let it go but I saw the smile that crossed kunikidas face and kept quiet.

Mori led us through a different hall and into a much larger room then my last one. Our stuff had already been moved into the room and it had a balcony that actually had a chair.

Kunikida thanked Mori and I kept quiet until the door shut and kunikida spoke.

"What's wrong. You seem upset"?

"I'm not".

"What did I say about lying to me".

I sighed and sat on the bed. "I just don't want you to be upset".

He sat next to me and took one of my hands into his. "We'll i will be upset if you are so please just tell me what's wrong".

"I have been in my old room my whole life and wasn't really ready to let it go. I mean this is nice and all but I would have liked some kind of warning or something".

Kunikida pulled me into a hug and I hugged back. "I'm sorry. They really should have told us. But what's done is done I guess".

I nodded and whimpered a little bit. I felt like crying. I wasn't that upset about the fact I was moved out of my old room. I'm upset because

This used to be my parents room.
