The Lost Prince

The First Night

The group arrived at the large garden in the front of the castle. The garden wounded around the sides of the castle and the two enormous doors awaited them. They walked together to the doors and to men opened them to reveal the winding staircases of the large entrance. Gilbert and Ludwig's father stood in the centre of the room awaiting their return.

"Pops!" Gilbert called out.

The retired king gave him a stern look. However his look faded when he saw Ludwig walk up behind Gilbert. He walked slowly towards him and held out his hand to shake. Ludwig took it firmly the same as the mirror like man.

"Ludwig....." The king stammered.

"Your highness I..."

Ludwig begun but was stopped when strong arms enveloped his shoulders and long hair waved in his face.

"Sir..... I."

But the king did not let go. He only hugged him tighter.

"Hey old man, go easy on Ludi." Gil laughed.

He lie go of Ludwig and took a step back.

"Of course, welcome everyone, I hope you enjoy your stay, Gilbert will be more the hospitable." He said returning to his serious self. "Now if you'll excuse me."

He turned away and walked back up the stairs leaving the group of males to watch him go.

"Don't mind the old man. Come on I'll show you around."

**************************

After Gil had showed them all of the castle and their rooms they all decided to retire. Lovino and feliciano were forced to share a room unlike the others. So Lovino waited by the door for his little brother to take a bath so he could take a turn.

"Feli, how long are you going to be?" Lovi asked annoyed.

"Until the waters cold!" Feli called back.

"You've been in there for an hour!"

"Oh? Then this might take a while." Feliciano admitted.

Lovino sighed in frustration. "Fine! I'll go borrow that Spanish bastards!" Lovino yelled walking away

"Kay!" Feliciano called back.

Lovino trotted out of the room still frustrated. He knocked on the door to the Spaniards room but all he could hear was the lovely singing of the tutor. He opened the door slowly and snuck in. He looked to the on suite tub to see Antonio standing at the window as water dripped to the floor. The moon shined threw shimmering his slim coded skin. He sung a sweet Spanish folk song as he stared out the window. The light flickered and shone like magic. The colours danced across the strong tan shoulders of the other male and Lovino blushed a crimson red. He turned away swiftly hiding his face in his towel. The singing stopped and Antonio turned to see the embarrassed prince. He quickly covered himself and walked up to Lovino.

"Hey Lovi, what are you doing here?" Antonio played cool.

"I came to ask to borrow your bath you jerk!"

"Jerk? I haven't done anything yet?!" Antonio said alarmed.

"You did to! You stood there all naked and wet, I'm just a kid! I don't need to see that, your grown male......" Lovinos face grew crimson and he crouched down hiding his face.
