*Craving Souls* (Spiritshipping)

Part 32

It was nearing the middle of the ball when the main doors opened.  Walking inside the ballroom ,came a small bluenette. Wearing a small purple dress , with a little crown over her straight blue hair , she walks right to the throne, where Jesse was sitting.

Jesse smiles at the sight , carefully walking town the stairs that led to his throne. His heart clenches a bit , in just almost a year of his absence, his father had taken every chance to form his sister in a woman- no matter her age.

"Ruby , my little Ruby"

The small princess smiles at him , running a little too fast in his arms . " I missed you Big brother. "

Even her wording had changed. She had lost her baby talk , at least that's how it seemed .

"Big brother missed you way more, Ruby" Jesse sighs softly.  He knew things would change ,but didn't expect them to change that much after his marriage. He hates changing. Looking up he meets his husband's eyes. Jesse blinks his own meeting the curiosity in those chocolate brown orbs he had come to adore.

"Go find Jehu will you? He must be around the banquet. " He ushers his little sister away,  knowing that duty came before family in these times. Nodding his head for one of the butlers to follow,he stands up.

Jesse smiles at Jaden and nods his head in greeting.  His chest hurt like no other
, but he had to keep on himself.  They would talk later,  Jesse wasn't going to let Jaden run away just like that. It takes two on this dance.

The child , their heir was his ,as much as Jaden's .

"People of my empire, forgive me for my late arrival.  However now I'm here, im sure my husband has already made sure everything is going alright,  as I knew he would.  We organised this ball to celebrate our victory! And that we will!" Jaden raised his wine glass, his other arm wrapped around Jesse's waist.

The latter meets his own General's worried eyes,  but he smiles reassuringly- chuckling when a certain silverette came from behind the tall General.

Those two are so done.

A little later in the evening ,Jesse finds  himself in Jaden's arms,  dancing to whatever music the orchestra choose to play.

Feeling Jaden's calloused hand in his and the other hand on his waist, comforts Jesse in the slightest.

"Are you going to let them fix our relationship?"

"Huh?"

"Don't play dump."

Jesse growls a bit , glaring at Jaden as they did a sharp turn in their dancing.
"You're not making sense , mister I-disappear-and-don't-show-up-at-my- own-ball. Didn't take you for the type."

Jesse smirks , seeing the glare , as Jaden's eyes narrowed,  while swirling him. " Don't change the subject. "

"I can speak whatever I want . You're not the boss of me."

"I'm your husband. "

"And now you acknowledge that, what about last night?" Jesse knew he was playing with fire,  bit the desire to rile Jaden up was greater.  He needs to pay for yesterday ,somehow.

"Jesse."

Jesse gasps as he's lifted up,  his hands on Jaden's shoulders. The the other man glaring dangerously at him, which Jesse met with a mischievous smile of his own. " What? I didn't say I cheated . I said I was pregnant,  with our child. "

A squeak leaves his lips as his ass meets the ground, a little pain shooting on his body.

"THAT  , I don't understand! ! How can that be possible?!"

Jaden was fuming as he pulled Jesse back up and in his arms , seeing the small gasp leave those perfectly plump lips. Despite his anger , meeting the fear in Jesse's eyes, melted him whole. 

He didn't want fear. He didn't need fear.

"I'm sorry. " He genuinely  apologizes,  before pressing his lips to his beloved's, relishing in the calmness that gentle contact brought to him.

"Switch!"

Jesse made to move away,  but Jaden held him firmly . He slides his arm around his consort's slim waist,  keeping him in place . Jaden grew desperate when Jesse showed no sign of responding back.

"Jesse , please? People are watchi-"

"That's what you worry about? That people are staring?" Jesse whispers,  his voice hoarse.  Emerald gems shining with threatening tears. The mood change came fast,  his earlier confidence cracked a little. " You're ......so sleeping in the chairs tonight. "

" Wait that's my room t-"

"Switch!"

"I don't give a fuck ! " Jesse retorts back , swirling in the arms of another dancer , at the same time someone else took his place in Jaden's. Jaden's mouth still hangs open at the vulgarity of his husband's words,  the exchange shaking something dark inside him.

"Fiesty, isn't he?"

Chocolate brown eyes shift ahead,  meeting mischievous amber ones.
