A blue Spouse (Ninjago Royalty AU)

Chapter 32: Kai (pt. 2)

Okay, guys, grab the tissues. That's all I'm going to say. 
Please, don't hate me too much.

------------------------------------

With fear running wild all over their veins, Cole jumped back at the same time Kai untangled his legs and shoved him away, unfortunately making the poor boy lose his balance and falling to the floor. Kai's toes curled up in sheer terror at the sight of two figures standing still by the door of his room; the Maharaja and his loyal servant who held a lantern in his hands, casting an eerie light over the two men.

No! No freaking way! Kai's mind screamed.

The King walked forward, shaking his head, his face contorting with hatred and disgust the closer he got to the bed. "How could you?" Asked the sovereign with a deep scary voice. "I told you a hundred times, Kai, yet you..."

"Dad, it's- it's not what it seems, we were just-" Kai stuttered nervously, fixing his clothes and hair, recoiling into the bed to hide the erection in his pants all the while he wrecked his brain to come up with a decent excuse that could save their asses, but delivery failed.

"Shut your fucking mouth!"

Kai flinched, he'd seen his father angry in the past, but never that much, not enough for the man to forget about etiquettes and use such harsh language in front of his son. The king's eyes then shifted to the boy on the floor a few steps away. Cole crawled backwards, limbs shaking with terror.

"You... damn disgusting rat!"

Cole was sent rolling to the nearby wall with a powerful kick on his ribs, then another, and another, making the former soldier curl up into a ball trying to protect his stomach and face from the assault. Kai jumped from the bed and tried to stop his father's beating, only to get shoved back with a violent elbow that hit him in the head. The prince fell at the side of the bed, coughing with pain. He saw his father grab a fistful of Cole's hair, pulling the boy up with a pained groan.

"How dare you putting your dirty hands on my son, you scum..." The monarch mumbled lowly at Cole's scrunched up face.

"Dad, please, it wasn't him! I asked him to come-" Kai cried out. It was useless to deny what they had been doing but at least he wouldn't let Cole get hurt, he didn't care if his father ended up repudiating him and kicking him out of the palace.

"I told you to shut the fuck up!!!" The adult growled again.

Kai froze on the spot, admittedly he'd never been so scared before. The fury in his father's eyes seemed something from another world, it was too intense, too dangerous to even be a human emotion.

The king's servant walked closer, Cole's tired eyes studied him; face brightly lit up with the orangeish gleam of the lantern, heightening the cruel yet subtle smirk in the man's lips. It didn't take a genius to understand the man had somehow discovered them and then went and told the king about the prince's abnormal behavior, taking extra pleasure in getting personal revenge on Cole.

"Motherfucker..." The noirette couldn't help the blasphemy that escaped his lips at the sight of the man.

"Shut up, you filth!" The Maharaja told him before throwing Cole back to the floor.

"What do we do now, Your Majesty?" The old man asked his superior.

The Maharaja took a moment to think about his next step, sending both boys dead glares that chilled Kai's blood. "Arrest him." The king declared never tearing his eyes away from the panting dark-skinned boy at his feet. The other man gave an obedient nod and walked away for a moment, calling the guards.
