7 - Mine

MEHANA

"Mehana!" The King barges into my room without warning. I gasped when he suddenly pushes me on the bed, his arms placed at the sides of my head.

"Y-Yes!?" I shrieked at his sudden bold action. I stare at his wide eyes that peered into mine. Beautiful as always.

"...G-Good morning." He looks away after a moment of silence. I gave him my iconic 'what-the-hell' look before trying to push him off of me.

"Uh...are you going to get off of me?" I politely ask. He stares at me once again before leaning himself against my body. I tried to lessen my breaths and felt myself burning up as the ant nuzzles against my chest.

Hey, naughty King! Bad King! What do you think you are doing!?

"H-Hey! What's with you all of a sudden- ah!" He suddenly bites my neck. I laid on the bed, utterly dumbfounded.

"Did you just BITE ME!?" I screeched. He looks at me innocently and I couldn't help but give into those scary eyes that knew nothing of this world...again. I sigh and gave up, collapsing on the bed with him on top of me.

"Seriously...why are you acting this way, Your Majesty?" A blush crept up my face. It's early in the morning and this damned King raided my room just to greet me with a bite. It would be quite suspicious if nobody was behind his peculiar behavior today.

"Pitou said if I want someone then I should claim her. They said they would do it with a bite." He answers.

"..." I am speechless. Pitou...what the hell did you just advise to His Majesty!? I thought you would also not want him to have feelings so why did you just provoke him even more!?

"First, what do you mean by want? Do you want me? Am I supposed to be someone's property!?" I pout and sat up so his head rested on my lap.

He stares up at me and I look down at him.

"I want you." He states before pausing with a slight frown. "You are already mine though, so I don't need to desire you. And you are mine...my property? That doesn't sound right..."

I smile when I saw his troubled face. He was so cute when thinking deeply.

"Of course that doesn't sound right, you dimwit!" I squeezed his right cheek. I squealed internally since I always wanted to touch him without constant fear and Pouf glaring at my back. "I belong to nobody! I am not a thing! Hmph..."

He grabs the wrist of the hand I used to pinch his cheek and sat up as well. I begin to panic as he leans in, his purple eyes now pink flickering onto my lips.

"Mine..." He whispers in his dominating voice. I quiver at the tone and closed my eyes willingly. Property? Thing? Forget about all that! I'll just enjoy this moment with him...

My one and only King.

"Haa..." He holds my hand while nibbling on my bottom lip. It's as if he is devouring me.

My statement soon came true since his little bite on my bottom lip made me leave a small entrance for my mouth. His tongue slipped in quickly and took control, rendering me breathless when he pulled away.

"Human affection...I like it." He smirks and wipes a trail of saliva at the corner of his mouth. The move was so seductive that I felt my cheeks becoming feverish.

How is he so good with his tongue as well!?

I cupped my cheeks, trying to release the steam coming from my face. I must calm down...

Hell, that's impossible!

"I-I..." I couldn't think of anything to say at all. He crawls towards me and buries his head into my neck. I squeaked and whimpered as he licked the bite mark he left, occasionally biting on it to leave even deeper marks.

"Now nobody will touch you." He nods assuringly. I crossed my arms with a mad blush.

"Nobody will touch me!? I guess you aren't part of the 'nobody' you mentioned! Just so you know, even though there is human affection, there is also something called personal space!" I lectured him with a glare. He kneeled in front of me, nodding as I continued to ramble on about an invisible bubble that represented our privacy.

"Get it now!?" I huffed.

"Hm...yes. But you liked it." He says bluntly. I made uncomprehensible noises before coughing and facing him again.

"Excuse me?"

"You are excused." He smiles proudly at his own response.

I couldn't help but get ticked off and bumped his head with my fist. "IDIOT!"

"...That didn't hurt at all." His brow twitched a bit. "And as I said before, you liked it so it doesn't count as intruding your personal space."

"...Well, I didn't say I liked it."

"Lies. You clearly responded and even kissed me back. Why are you denying the truth?" He slightly sulks. "Do you not like me?"

"N-No! Of course not, Y-Your Majesty!" My hands waved in front of me in a frenzy. How can a King be so cute? "Who wouldn't like you?!"

Maybe the people you killed and basically the rest of humanity except for me and Komugi...haha.

"I doubt your words but I'll leave it for now." He closes his eyes and rests on my bed. "I will be asleep for a while."

"Sweet dreams then." I glanced at his sleeping face briefly before heading out the door. There wasn't really much to do other than playing chess with the King. I also remembered every area of the palace so wandering around isn't much fun either.

What can I do?

"Hmm..." I shut my eyes and frowned.

"BOO!"

My eyes flew open in fright just to see Pitou next to me with their usual Cheshire grin. It makes me think that they are up to no good, even though there wasn't much to do in the palace other than protecting the King and running his errands.

"P-Pitou...you scared me." I sigh, stepping back a bit. I still didn't forget that they had killed Kite and made him a puppet. Pitou seemed to notice my small movement and stepped back with a polite smile.

"I am sorry if I had scared you. I just wanted to entertain you for a short bit. You seem bored."

"Yeah...and somehow tired too. By the way, I heard you told the King about claiming people and biting them." I explained what happened before and Pitou stares with twinkling eyes, their tail wagging in excitement.

"I see my advice has bought good results." They snickered.

"Sure...good results my ass..." I roll my eyes. "That is the reason why I feel tired today. And now I am also bored. This is the worst combination of feelings to have. Boredom and fatigue!"

"I have a suggestion. Why not visit the Gungi player? Both of you are humans so you guys will be able to talk smoothly."

"Oh! Yes, I should've thought of that! I'll go chat with Komugi then. Thanks...Pitou." I say their name reluctantly before hopping off to Komugi's room.

Maybe she can teach me how to play Gungi!
