Of Memories and Sweet Kisses

*****

Guthrei had the most meticulous job in the world.

He would wake up at the crack of dawn. He would take a bath, change into his uniform, fix his hair, and then head off to the castle's kitchen. He'd make sure the contents of the day's breakfast, morning snacks, lunch, afternoon snacks, and dinner were all prepared and perfect. He would make his way to his own study so he could check Stygian's economy, power, and magic flow status for the umpteenth time. He would make sure that there were no flaws. No mistakes. No enemies lurking.

He would also make sure no rats would ever find their way to the food storage. He even instructed Zephyrus to get them cats because he saw a few of them lurking around the kitchen corner looking for scraps of food. He huffed at that and he had scared the rats away just by sending his cold stare towards them.

By mid-morning, he would go to his majesty's study and report all of his findings. If his majesty had some errands for him to do, he would obey without hesitation. If his majesty had nothing for him that day, he would go back to his study and look through the blank, rectangular portrait against his wall. He would open it and there would be a rectangular compartment stacked with books, scrolls, letters, bottles of ink, and one larger-than-normal crystal ball. It would glow faintly which meant Shouyou-sama was still at his human school. It would glow bright when he's at home.

He would pick it up and look through it. He would see their sunny crow prince enjoying himself through some ball game called Volleyball. He would smile then. But he would remember that their prince was already in a relationship with some human. His human teammate. That tall, always-angry, dark-haired teen. So his smile would turn into a scowl.

At first he was okay with it. But then he saw how the tall teen treated their little prince without an ounce of respect. The nerve of that kid! His anger would flood around him in waves. He would drink a calming tea and convince himself that it was okay, it was okay. His highness' teammates don't know who he really is. His highness was happy like that. It was okay.

So he would put the crystal ball back, close the portrait frame, and head off to the palace's blacksmith barracks till evening. After checking their weaponry line, he would go back to the castle to have his hurried dinner, go back to his study to check his highness' status, and go to bed before midnight.

It was like that for him for a few months until he got a report from Zephyrus that he saw enemy movement from the east. To the east was the Tygo's hideout. He reported this to his majesty immediately, upon which the king instructed them (Guthrei, Zephyrus and Eurus) to go where Shouyou was and inform his wife. Guthrei agreed rather excitedly as he was going to meet his highness again. After so many years of being apart, he could see him again. The mere thought of it had his lips quirking at the corners.

His majesty also asked if Guthrei could give him a personal letter to his son, in which he gladly accepted. A few days later they had opened the Gate to Earth and went to Japan. They located his highness' house and it was a Tuesday so he would be at school still. His highness' mother asked if they could bring Shouyou's lunch to school. Apparently he wasn't home last night and he was out spending some time with his human boyfriend.

This had irked Guthrei to no end. He grabbed the lunch and went out before his highness' mother could utter the direction of the school. The blonde brothers trailed behind him.

No matter, he had his highness' baby feather with him. It was the last feather though. He had hated the thought of using it since he would like to keep it as a memento. But he had no choice.
