Back to You - Dan Heng IL, Blade

14. A Little Different

Blade held him tight and Dan Heng looked at him like a scared kitty. He seriously was glad the noble was Blade, but at the same time he couldn't help but feeling embarassed to be seen like that by him.

"You seriously amazes me" Blade sighed as he got some distance from him, to put the sword back to its cover "Did you ask my guards and your servant to bring you here? You're supposed to be holy"

Dan Heng crossed his arms annoyed "Really?! For your information, your guards saw Haru's guard and since they surely were looking for me, they lured them away in order to make me and Ryu confuse ourselves here... But then they didn't come back... The Mistress found us and she kicked Ryu out, thinking I was some noble's Tayu, can you fucking believe? Me? A stripper? Dude I can't even pole dance, I'd break my spine" he cried and the Prince had no idea what he meant at last, but he couldn't help but laughing.

"Glad you're laughing" Dan Heng tried to move but he flinched as Blade laid the arm towards the wall to keep him trapped there "No I mean, keep laughing I will... stay here, silent" he smiled nervously and Blade tilted his head amused

"Those guards were looking for my brother's Tayu who escaped... not for you. And since you're new in town, the mistress thought you were..." he cleared his throat "His..." he laughed "Oh Gods, this is so amusing, I can't believe it" he kept laughing "You even covered your horns and tail so you basically made them all believe you were the courtesan and not the Imbibitor..."

Dan Heng grit his teeth "Stop, I thought I was seriously about to be forced to have sex with a noble so I did improvise myself as a damn interior designer and made a fucking frontier with those room dividers and also played the longest song I know on the zither" he cried out "I thought Ryu would come in time, or Toyo or Yukimura" he sighed and Blade looked at Dan Heng trying not to get attracted by the fact he was looking so damn beautiful.

Why was he so beautiful? Even when throwing the zither he had a chaotic elegance.

"Aren't you glad it's me?" Blade smirked as he leant towards Dan Heng who narrowed his stare

"Surely better than your brother" he muttered and Blade sighed, having no idea how to deal with him "Now... would you let go?"

"I didn't know you knew how to play the zither" he said and Dan Heng blushed as he noticed Blade leaning closer to him to look into his eyes "What was that song?"

"Erm... What do you mean? A song, you said yourself" he muttered and Blade tilted his head to the cover his eyes for a moment trying to remind himself that he shouldn't look too much at his bare skin showing from shoulders.

"I meant..." Blade sighed "Nothing, you... gave me a pleasant performance"

"It wasn't meant to be pleasant" Dan Heng said embarassed to then try to walk away but the garment was heavily entangled on his tail and he fell on his belly, but luckily Blade grabbed him and kept him in his arms, making his cheeks ever more red "Hey!"

"You can't walk... what have you done?! You literally destroyed your image" Blade said as he made him sit on the bed.

Dan Heng narrowed his stare "Destroyed my image? I literally went for the survival, sorry?!" he felt flustered as Blade laid the hands on his hips and made him turn "What are you do.." he felt shivers as Blade's chin was almost touching his naked shoulder.

The hands of the Prince moved towards the kimono and Dan Heng moved a little to then end up surprised as Blade was fixing the kimono to cover the naked upperchest.

"Next time I see you like this. It's either in my manor and in my chamber or nowhere else. Understood?" he asked and Dan Heng narrowed his stare

"Hell no. I am not planning to do another show like this" he muttered and Blade smirked
