Crafting The Lust

✨7✨

The night slipped into dawn, the sun hiding behind a blanket of dew that covered the earth. The morning chill seeped under the thin skin of the travelers, making them shiver in the refreshing cold.

The coachman gently fed some soft grasses to the horses, caressing their manes tenderly, while other guards stood in anticipation of the journey ahead. Meanwhile, in the cave, Hyunjin and Felix remained.

The king stood there looking down at the painter sleeping peacefully. In which he rolled his eyes 'he spent the whole night crying and now sleeping peacefully like a baby' he thought before lightly kicking the painter, who woke with the sudden attack. Flinching, it didn't cease to Hyunjin to laugh lightly.

The painter tried to stabilize his blurry vision, blinking his eyes as he got up. His whole body sore due to the hardness of those rocks beneath. His blonde long locks messy, cheeks red with the chilliness of morning along with tip of fingers. Being grateful that there was still the cloth given by king was keeping him warm.

He confusedly looked here and there caught by the soft laughter of king stood right in front of him. Oh the morning cursed by the sight of monster, what a bad way to start the day.

Felix kept stare in confusion to the king for a moment before the king crouch down to his level. "Still sleepy?" He laughed. Felix gwaked at the king's sculpted face, oh why this demon is so divine...why his laughter is so alluring, he didn't deserve that figure with this stone heart.

Felix flinched when the king put his hand on his cheek which was in the heavy tint of red due to the shivering cold of dawn or maybe due to the gentle touch of this divine yet devastating figure. Oh Felix don't fall in this gentleness, it'll pull you into the abyss from where you could never return back.

King caressed his red cheeks, "mhm feeling warm now?" Hyunjin asked making Felix bewildered in this sudden act. He couldn't help but nodded his head, accepting the gentleness offered by the king.

"Your majesty, I think we should head now," one of the guards came slitting the thickness of tension. Hyunjin hmmed getting up followed by Felix. They walked out.

Hyunjin examined the horses and the arrangements his guards have done. It seemed fine, ordering his guards to begin the journey. While Felix was stood among that giants guard and a giant king himself looking like a lost kitten amidst the tigers.

Hyunjin darted his gaze to the painter standing there like a little fairy, glowing by itself. The sun was nowhere to be seen in this coverage of fog. Hyunjin examined the little figure trembling, turning himself in a small ball.

"Get inside," he ordered, Felix didn't ask anything, obeying Hyunjin.

Inside the carriage it was warm due to the walls around. Humm it was relaxing, chilling in the cold air, listening the melody of birds chirping, some hustles of animals behind the shrubs and just inhaling the soft humid air.

Felix's followed his attention to the king who entered in with a calm face, for the first time he wasn't smirking, looking tired as well.

Within the king's instruction the carriage began to move ahead followed by other guards. Felix had the anxiety filling in senses being alone in the carriage with Hyunjin, but the king has different demeanor today, it was confusing felix but he didn't dare to question. It's good after all...

Hyunjin caught Felix staring at him, his usual demeanor returning with a smirk. "what are you looking at painter, wanna sit on my lap again?" Hyunjin asked moreover playfully. Felix immidetly avoided his gaze, feeling a little flustered.

Visited by the king's soft chuckle, who leaned against the carriage's wall. As he took a deep breath of humid air. His eyes landed on the painter's fidgeting fingers leaving him smile a little.

The sound of wheels of carriage mingling through the rustles of dry leafs of jungle with the birds softly chirping, leaving their nest. Felix rested his head at the Woody wall of carriage losting in his thoughts.

Oh this is how a divine figure give you a power so someone could put it into their desire. That's what Felix felt his situation is, he wished he had never known painting so this day would never arrive but he was here.

The sentences of Hyunjin ringing in his mind yet a different desire arousing within him. He changed his glance to the king who was already staring at him. The painter's gaze lowered to the king's clothe covered body, he was looking at Hyunjin objectively.

"Visual will be perfect" indeed. Felix had imagined a man with majestic figure, without any coverage on, representing the most desirable look of human 'lust' and Hyunjin seemed like the figure of his imagination. The perfect object to craft on his paper.

He gulped at his thoughts, shattered by the little bump of carriage due to stony path. "What are you thinking, blondie?" Hyunjin looked at him with anticipation.

"Nothing," Felix avoided his glance. His fidgeting fingers, and bobbing Adam apple indicating his anxiety making the king to be curious about him more.

The King chuckled, "Are you already eager to draw me in intercourse?" Felix's breath hitched at the man's sentence. His eyes widened, yet it was somehow true. He didn't bat an eye on the king, being ashamed to look at that annoying smirk.

Hyunjin snickered at the painter's flustered face. Felix tried to avoid his gaze as much as he could but Hyunjin's piercing gaze not helping.

The carriage moved by, in its destination without any stop. Leaving the dense forest behind.

As the sun finally revealed itself, bathing the earth in warm light, they approached the palace, where a warmth awaited them amidst the golden rays. It had been two long days since the king had left the kingdom, and the queen waited anxiously for her beloved to return. Her heart soared at the sight of the carriage in the courtyard, and she hurried towards it, a beacon of hope and longing.

The queen peeked in anticipation, meeting with a sight of the king's eyes falling on someone which used to only meant for her. She was curious as well as eager to just engulf her king in her arms.

"We are here your majesty," the coachman informed getting the attention of king. Who break the contact with the painter, diverting his attention outside at Anna standing there. His heart melting at the sight of his utterly mesmerizing queen within a luring smile on her face.

Yet something more majestic he felt pulled his attention as he changed his glance to the small figure of painter. The painter wasn't pretty as queen.....

He was beyond beautiful than any majestic sight of this earth.........
