Royal Storm

11

-An invitation to hell.

Rain was bored out of his mind just sitting in the room. He might as well be put in a cell locked up. He's not use to this. He's always been free to do whatever he wanted and he knows he's not meant for the royal life. That's mainly the reason why he left all those years ago in the first place.

The door creep open as it startled Rain.

The prince appear as he walked in slowly.

"What are you doing here?" Rain asked as he felt like the two has been staring at each other for minutes.

"I came to see you. I've been so busy all day yesterday." Venice admitted.

The prince walked closer to the young commoner as he brought his fingers towards his face as he caressed Rain's cheek bones.

"Did someone ever told you, you look like a bunny?" Venice asked.

"P'Payu.......you've changed. You became more ruthless." Rain spoke.

Venice frowned as he gave Rain a stern stare. He grabbed Rain underneath his chin as his fingers clutched on his lower cheeks.

"I wouldn't worry about stuff like that if I were you. As long as you're by my side, no one gets hurt." The prince admitted.

"Y-You mean that?" Rain asked as he was surprised.

"Mmm.....all I ever wanted was you. I told you I'm going to court you Rain. I no longer see you as a friend that I thought I once needed." Venice admitted.

Rain took his hand as he removed the Prince's grip from his face. Rain walked away from Phayu as he  circled around the bed. A bed that looked similar to the bed he slept in when he and Phayu shared their first kiss together that night before he left.

A kiss he held in his heart to deeply and thought about for six years. Even when he was engaged to Ple and he kissed her once but never felt that spark of magic when kissed Phayu six years ago.

"So....I'm assuming by courting me you want to sleep with me?" Rain mentions as he stares at the bed.

Phayu smirks as he walked behind Rain and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Not exactly but.....I do plan on sleeping with you." The prince admitted.

To which Rain scoffs as he knew the intentions of the prince.

"But......only if you let me. I want your full consent." Venice said to which made Rain turn around in shock.

Consent?

Rain was surprised that Phayu wants his consent. After what happened when he tried to force himself onto him. Rain felt a small itch on his arm as the thought of spending a night with the Prince would be crazy.

"Let have dinner together Rain. I want us to spend more time with each other. See how things are and what's changed between us." Phayu said as he invited Rain.

Rain turned to the Prince and slowly nodded and agreement. This made Phayu happy that Rain accepted his dinner invite. This is a sign of progress in the making.

"Great, I'll see you later on tonight. Dress a bit nicely too." The Prince said before he left Rain's room.

Rain watched the sunset setting as its always been beautiful to look at outside. He spent the entire day in his room bored out of his mind but he can appreciate the window view so he can at least watch the sunset.

The door knocked and it opened to reveal Sky with small neatly folded clothes in his right arm.

"Sir Rain, I have brought your clothes that was request by the Prince you would need to wear for your dinner."

"Sky, I told you you don't have to speak formal to me. I am not royalty anyway." Rain mentioned as he reminded the guard.

"Rain here our your clothes." Sky said again but this time less formal and just place them on the bed for Rain to put on.

Sky feels worried for his once upon a time schoolmate but he trusts that Prince wouldn't do anything to Rain like he said. Sky gave one last glance to his friend and left his room.

After Sky left, the sunset was over and it was time to get ready for this dinner that agreed too.

Soon after, Rain was escorted out to the catering section of the palace and he was often greeted by every guard he walked pass too. Rain hated this as he believes he was not worthy to be bowed in front of. Rain saw the table with a fest worth of food. The Prince was standing by side the table with flowers in his hand.

Specifically red roses in fact.

The Prince walked towards Rain as he took a moment to look at him.

"You look lovely tonight." Phayu complimented."These are for you." He gave the red roses to Rain.

Rain looked at them for a moment and thought they were beautiful so he accepted them. The Prince guided Rain to his seat which was just beside the Prince. Phayu snapped his fingers and plates, knives, and silverware were quickly placed in front of them.

"Please Rain dig in. I'm sure the food here that I had made should please your appetite." Phayu said as he gave Rain the green go to start eating.

Rain took his spoon and began searching for what he wanted to eat first. There was so much to choose from but he plans to try everything on this table.

"Would you ever go back to your orange hair?" Phayu asked Rain as he stared at the fellow as he ate.

"The dye in my hair came off after some time. It wasn't permanent." Rain admitted to which the prince nodded and understood.

"It's okay, you're still cute with your long black hair." Phayu complimented.

Rain paused for a moment but then continued eating.

"What about you? You cut your hair after I remember you had it long and kept it in a ponytail." Rain started to ask the questions.

"I grew out of my longer hair and choose to cut it to a more mature style. You like it?" Phayu asked.

Rain took a moment to look at the princes hair and he thought it did suite him and he looked even more handsome but it does miss the long haired prince more.

Suddenly Sky came with a heavy guard suite.

"Prince Venice, sorry to interrupt but we have a......slight problem." Sky stated.

"What is it?" Venice said as he grew slightly annoyed.

"Prince Stop is......hosting a banquet party for all royal families in town and he is demanding your appearance." Sky informed the Prince.

Venice clenched hard on his fist as he hates Prince Stop, who he's been rivals with for so many years. They have been the Theerapanyakul true rivals for quite some time.

He really can't stand him.

"If he really is demanding, I'll let me family know that we are in high demand. When is this banquet?" Venice asked Sky.

"T-Tomorrow."
