Better Left Unsaid

He was let down in the shade of one of the many trees of the garden. Something he really wasn't expecting. Yet another surprise from a man who was so full of them. 

"I thought you said worse." 

"Did I?" Victor grinned. Immediately, Heine grew suspicious. Though, that was a habit. It was hard not to do such after becoming the royal tutor.

"What are you-" He was interrupted by Victor.

"Nothing major, relax." After a quick look around, he sat down next to Heine. "The sun was blinding and annoying. Though that's honestly an excuse to sit down and relax with you for a little while." He looked to Heine, gazes locking. Amber meeting blue with a mutual look of fondness and trust. The same look he always got from the king.

"You really miss the old times don't you?"

"It's impossible not to." Vicotr noticibly relaxed. "There was more freedom then."

"That may be true but it's best not to dwell on the past." He broke the gaze and looked to the scenery. "There's much to be desired in the present." He could feel Victor's gaze burning into him. He knew not to look back. It was too much of a risk. It took a surprise about of will power on his end. "We should be going back."

"We should." Neither moved. Neither wanted to move. "Heine." He looked to Victor. "Don't you wish there was no risk for doing this?"

"Of course." He stood up. "I wish that more than anything."

It was late in the afternoon as Heine walked through the many halls of the palace. He passively watched the windows. His destination not far. The sky had darkened with clouds. Nothing to really think about.

He looked back to the hall, arriving to his destination. He walked into the room though there was an unexpected twist. He had expected the room to be empty and to have to wait for the princes to get there. Surprisingly, they were already there.

And they were watching him on the seats that sit in the big room. There was a moment of silence.

Licht stood and ran to him. He was bombarded by the prince not only physically but verbally too. A load of questions was coming out of the teen's mouth. None of which Heine could really understand. Especially with Licht shaking him. Prince Kai thankfully pulled Licht off.

"Thank you prince Kai."

"Kai let me go!" Licht struggled. "I'm not the only one that wants to know what the professor was doing witth dad earlier." Heine went wide-eyed.

"Dang it, Licht!" Bruno and Leo stood. "What did we tell you?"

"Would your highnesses mind explaining to me what you're up to?" Heine interrupted, trying to relax. They all looked to him. Kai let go of his brother.

"Well," Licht started. "Bruno and I saw you in the garden with Dad earlier. Now we're all curious as to what you were doing."
Heine blinked.

"If you think I'm going to tell you, I can assure you that it's best to get that thought out of your minds." He took a small breath. "Now, the challenge I gave you. How did you do?"
