Hwanwoong blinked,feeling confused at the sudden change of mind.

"Really? That's great." he smiled brightly

"You should stay here tonight..It would be difficult to travel in the darkness." Geonhak cleared his throat and averted his eyes from the smiling Angel.

Hwanwoong was glowing with happiness.

"I should be fine,don't worry." he politely refused but Geonhak's blank face stopped any other way of protesting.

"Creatures wander around here at night.It would be a wise decision to stay here unless you want to get yourself killed." his voice was icy-cold,making the other male shiver.

"G-Got it.." he hugged his small frame at the sudden drop in temperature as he mumbled his response.

"Come.I'll show you around the castle." Geonhak stepped out of the massive room,indicating Hwanwoong to follow him.

The Angel rushed after the Demon King,feeling creeped out by his surroundings.
Geonhak's dark cloak fluttered elegantly as he walked briskly along the hallways.

"Slow down a bit,will you?" Hwanwoong whined,struggling to keep up with the taller.

"You have wings.Use them.I have other matters to take care of." Geonhak's voice echoed in the empty space.

"Rude.." he whispered

"Want me to throw you out?" the demon looked over his shoulder,frowning.

"No,sorry.." Hwanwoong smiled awkwardly,finally being beside the other King.

"This is your room for tonight.If you need something,contact any of my servants.They will be around all night." Geonhak instructed emotionlessly as he turned around,getting ready to leave.

"What if I want to contact you instead?" Hwanwoong smirked,leaning against the door.

Geonhak looked over his shoulder with an irritated expression plastered on his face.

"Creepy bastard.Go to sleep." he ordered coldly and disappeared in the blink of an eye,leaving Hwanwoong's laughter behind.

The Angel shook his head,still laughing lightly as he entered his bedroom.

The room was pure white and simply beautiful to look at.Hwanwoong smiled softly as he flopped on top of the white sheets that smelled like roses.

He was touched that Geonhak chose this kind of room for him.He was expecting to find a sinister-looking one considering that the entire castle looked that way.

"How considerate of him.." the Angel chuckled,nuzzling his face in the soft pillow.

It was then when he realized that the smell of roses in the room resembled Geonhak's.He paid no attention to it the first time but now it finally dawned on him.

"He smells like roses..hehe" Hwanwoong couldn't help but giggle at the realization.

Shortly after,he fell into a deep slumber.His soft snores were the only thing that could be heard in the silence that seemed to rule over the Demon Castle.

Eventually,morning came and Hwanwoong groaned as a rough hand shook his shoulder.

"Wake up" the deep voice ordered.

Hwanwoong was definitely not a morning person and it always took him a long time to wake up.Sometimes he would space out for an entire day.

"Wake up" the voice repeated,more sternly this time.

Hwanwoong took the man's hand and snuggled against it with a smug little smile at the corner of his mouth.

Geonhak sighed deeply at the sight and chanted a spell.

"Float" he instructed and shortly after,the Angel's body began floating.

The sleeping King gripped Geonhak's hand tighter,showing no signs of letting it go.The Demon shook his head and pulled the floating male with him.

"Majesty,where are you heading so early in the morning?" a servant asked curiously as she saw the two Kings in the unusual posture.

"Take care of my appointments for today.I will be going to the Angel Realm.Don't wait for my return.I will be back late." the Demon King spoke in a quiet tone,surprising the servant.

"Sure.Take care,Majesty." the servant girl bowed and stepped aside,allowing Geonhak to open the gates.

Hwanwoong stirred at the squeaky sound as Geonhak flinched.

"Gotta fix the damn gates someday.." he frowned.

The Angel sighed deeply,hugging Geonhak's arm and nuzzling his face against it lovingly at the same time.

"You need to stop doing that.." Geonhak looked away from the Angel as he mumbled under his breath.

A few hours passed by and they were at the border between the two Realms where Geonhak decided to take a break.He slowly sat down,trying not to wake the other just yet.After he sat down and leaned against a tree trunk he deactivated the spell,making the Angel fall in his arms.He flinched and caught Hwanwoong just in time.

"When do you plan to wake up,you little punk?.."

The playful sun rays lulled the Demon King to sleep.He did not intend to,but he eventually fell asleep with Hwanwoong also sleeping with his head nuzzled against the taller's side and arms circled around his waist.

As both Kings were sleeping peacefully under the massive tree,time seemed to stop,witnessing the rare and totally endearing sight.

After a few hours of sleep,Hwanwoong finally woke up.He lazily opened his eyes and stretched his sore body.Judging by his calm attitude,he didn't notice the position he was in and once he did,his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Woah! What is this!" he scrambled away from the sleeping Demon King,still being in shock.

"So you finally decided to wake up..?" Geonhak spoke up with his eyes closed.

"How long was I sleeping for?" Hwanwoong scratched his ear awkwardly.

"Long enough." Geonhak stood up,dusted his clothes and began walking once again.

"Can you wait a bit?"

"Why? I waited enough"

"I need to fully wake up first.." Hwanwoong smiled sheepishly and Geonhak sighed for the millionth time.

"Go ahead.."

"By the way,thank you for providing a room to my liking..I appreciate it.I slept like a baby" Hwanwoong chuckled

"Don't mention it..That room was pretty much useless anyway.." Geonhak replied monotonously

"Still...thank you"

"Stop thanking me and hurry up!"

The Demon turned around and advanced towards the border.

"Yeah,yeah.." Hwanwoong grinned

~Thank you,Geonhak..~
