Lessons of the heart

Bitter and Sweet

So I am on a roll now and after all those chapter finally figured out that typing a text out on the laptop instead of writing it by hand first saves me sooo much time... What took hours and hours before, now takes 4 hours tops (interruptions included). I know I can be slow when it comes to understanding things but this is ridiculous.

Anyhow, I am thrilled to present to you this new chapter which is called 'Bitter and Sweet'. Everything in life is bittersweet, everything has two sides to them, that's just how things are and especially in love.

(Now just a little bit of lyrics that fit things so well)

Cause you always want what you're running from

And you know this is more than you can take

~ Bittersweet - Ellie Goulding ~

"You are hurting yourself by acting the way you do! And we are hurting because we had to see you like this for the past weeks! Father is leaving again for 6 months tomorrow... You two love each other and... and... and... I know I wasn't exactly... supportive at first but... Sensei..."

"Heine-Chan, we can't watch this go on any longer! It isn't as it there are still people hiding in the bushes to spy on any of us... You are being totally and completely unfair! You must tell father how you feel! Admit it! You told us that sometimes you have to make hard decisions and sometimes they may not seem the right one at first... In this case, you made a mistake. You have to set things right!"

"Master... Trust us on this one... tell father the truth. A lot of things can change in 6 months and not always for the better..."

The voices were still resonating in Heine's mind as he was sitting behind his desk. It was already 7 pm and he hadn't moved since 5 pm, when he'd finally come back to his room after teaching... More like receiving a lesson himself by his own students. The student became the master a bit too quickly. He couldn't be right all the time, of that much he was sure but it was scary to be made aware of his flaws again after so long and by such young people.

He nibbled on his lower lip, contemplating his actions and his options... what options? Either he went to Viktor, apologized and told him his feelings or he would sit here and sulk and Viktor would leave tomorrow. It wasn't as if he'd be gone forever but like Bruno had pointed out, a lot could happen in a couple of months. Those boys... They meant well and they had the potential of becoming great, righteous and caring Kings. Each a King in their own right. Who would have ever thought they would be so supportive about the feelings he shared with their father? Would it be presumptuous to consider them his children as well in a way? Heine had grown quite fond and attached to the 4 Princes and the young Princess.

He snapped out of his thoughts by the mantelclock telling him it was now 8 pm and all of his thinking going back and forth had taken him an hour. Dinner would have been served by now but he wasn't hungry. Therefor there was no need for him to show himself downstairs... It would be the last time in 6 months that the Princes and him would see the King... Damn tehse 6 months always springing to mind! Why couldn't he just forget about it? Why couldn't he accept things? Why couldn't Viktor accept...
