Beside You - RamKing

Chapter 1

《Be careful of the smut that slipped in this chapter. Couldn't help putting some sweetness before the... you will see》

I swiped through the pictures of the trip on my phone and stopped when I saw King with his Crown smiling widely in the camera. Though I wasn't normally the type, my face softened and i smiled lightly looking at his picture and face.

I still wasn't sure how on earth everything happened but I must have saved the world in my last life, thats how lucky I got.

King was the first person I ever felt this way to, I was never one who liked the talk or expressed much through talking. But since him following me like a puppy and trying to make me open up, I did become more open, sometimes smiled and even more talkative. Of course, nothing compared to the bubbly puppy called King, but there was definetly a difference.

First, I wasn't sure how to handle my feelings, whenever he got close I was scared of my heart jumping out of my chest and right in his hands. It didn't even need much, sometimes even a glance from him made me feel shy and akward. But I was quite sure that he would never feel the same about me. And I didn't think it was necessary. Just being next to him, sometimes stealing glances at King or just being able to see him smile was enough. I just wanted him to be happy, even if it wasn't with me.

But that changed...

When he got hurt and I couldn't protect him, when he digged his nails in my hand while getting stiched up, when hitting his head on the stone during the trip and also when collapsing outside the Emergency Aid house, all those times a feeling in me grew.

I wanted to be the one that took care of him. I wanted to be the one that looked after him. That ensured Kings happiness. The one that made sure King was treated as he deserved it and as the King he was. Okay maybe, I wanted to treat him more like a Queen then a King, but the sentiment was the same.

Thats when I realized, that I would prefer being the person that makes him happy, the one he is with and that I might be a bit possessive and jealous when it comes to him. Though, since I had no idea how he felt and I couldn't just ask for it either, there was no chance to know until...

*** last Friday night ***

"I hate you Ram!"

King pushed me away hard when i tried to make him sit down in the tent after he got drunk. He was out of breath and glared at me.

"Why?"

"I JUST HATE YOU. LEAVE ME ALONE RAM!"

This time, P'King was screaming at me and started hitting my chest with his fits. But even the first touch of his fists was enough so see through it. He didn't hit me hard, not as if he wanted to hurt me. It was more like you hit someone when you pout or someone teased you.

"P'King, why do you hate me?"

I stayed calm as my usual self and just looked at him, kneeling in front of King. He looked so devasted that it cuased a sharp pain in my chest. With every negative word pointed at me, it felt like sharp blades being stapped in my heart, one after another.

But I couldn't let go.

Normally, if someone would say they hate you, you might get angry. But seeing King yelling at me that he hated me, while looking hurt and in pain made me soft. Even if I would want, I could never get angry in this situation. His eyes were full of tears and he looked as if he would collapse out of emotional overflow every second.
