🐈‍⬛Ears to survive, ears to scratch ♥️ KIMCHAY AU ✨️

Tail 🐈‍⬛

Porsche is strongly holding his brother's hand while their carriage is approaching the borders. He doesn't want to feel far away from his brother, he isn't ready and he thinks that he will never be ready for this. If he could, he would have just taken Porchay with him and tore up those earrings, looking too much of a responsibility around his little baby's face. It has been decided that the exchange will be made there. It seems to really feel like a hostage exchange now. However, it is also a way to ensure their security from each side, everyone knows that a lot of humans hate or fear hybrid-cats and that a lot of hybrid-cats can't stand humans.

History is a part of this result, legends are explaining that the hybrid-cat kingdom should have never existed. When the world got created, cats weren't on the list to become a part of the hybrid and not let humans take over all powers. Those fluffy existences didn't take it good and fought to be a part of this. Rumours spread around this and one of them is saying that the hybrid-cat kingdom was at first part of the human territory but the cats needed to be put somewhere. It also punished them because they had no way to escape, water on one side and humans on the other side. Words had been shared and deformed and shaped in such ways that a resentment is still existing between the two boundaries and even if this deal had calmed down people, because kings were involved, it didn't change that this political change wasn't liked.

Porchay lets his head fall on his Hia's shoulder. He tries to get the most time and physical touch with him, he will not be able to see him for a long time when Porsche has always been his only strength for his whole life. His earrings are heavy, he is still not used to them.

"Chay, we can still say no and-"

"Hia, don't begin. We already talked about it. The only thing I need you to do is to be happy." He cuts him.

"I should be the one to protect you, why did you even take the king's place? You're too young, I think we need to stop this and-"

"And creating another wave of violence?" Porchay asks.

The past days before they all agreed on this alliance had been chaotic. There were fights and people being hurt, there wasn't any death but it was close and they couldn't allow this to happen. Some people took this as an excuse to attack hybrid-cats and some hybrid-cats did the same. If there is one thing that Porsche and Porchay learnt from their parents it was that the population should always be their first priority. It is a way to protect their power but also to not push anyone to change kings, to not bring tragedies over mistakes which could had been avoided by better decisions.

"Chay..." Porsche sadly whispers.

"I have Yok with me. Don't worry Hia. This is for you, for the kingdoms, this is for everyone...I know that I shouldn't put your happiness above everything but it's lucky that this one can exist with that decision." Porchay giggled, he is really glad about this.

"I am going to protect you from afar, to write you letters, you can too, right? And I am not just leaving my love life, I am not abandoning you." Porsche needs to say out loud and Porchay just snuggles closer against his brother, both alone inside this moving small castle, representation on the outside of the royal power.

When it stops, they are staying inside for a moment. Porsche is hugging him so tight that Porchay feels like not being able to breathe. He is the king and if some tears are appearing in those arms, they disappear the moment they knock on the door for their guards to open it. They meet another group of guards with also one carriage. There is a tension in the atmosphere, no one can describe it on the spot but something is hinting that the peace of deal on the paper isn't something being reflected in everyone's attitude. Everything is a secret but some people live near the borders and they need to be fast so they won't face a crowd trying to go against them.
