The Empress (MxM)

Chapter 8

3rd person pov

Even when the boy cried  the boy was beautiful as if crying tears of Crystal's and Kang found himself drinking in Satomi's features 

Beautiful indeed, fair skin, looking soft to the touch, more beautiful than any woman he'd seen, long white lashes,  a deep blush set on his face while the light bounced off him, giving him this glow

The carriage ride was silent but none of them wanted to break it, Hoshi was too terrified,  while Kang was transfixed by the lovely boy who was still inconsolable 

Upon arriving to the palace Satomi's heart fell into his stomach and dissolved; he was beyond terrified,  he hurriedly dried his face

They wasted no time and went straight to the throne room where Takeshi sat, kitana in hand, finger twitching as if wanting to grab something and eyes dull and void of emotions 

All three bowed

"Your majesty..."

Takeshi got up which spiked the uneasy feeling to an astronomical level

Without uttering a word he went over to the shaking boy who stood up to meet his icy gaze

SMACK!

The back of his hand connected with Satomi's cheek causing him to let out a cry of pain 

Hot tears fell fast as he was now hysterically crying on the floor

Hoshi stood in front of Satomi in a protective stance

"Don't you dare lay another hand on him" she seethed, face red with raw anger

Takeshi's eyes went black

"Such audacity "

She was intimidated, and rightfully so but she wasn't about to back down, she stood her ground

"He us someone innocent and delicate, he is to be taken care of and cherished, you brought him here, I don't care if you kill me but I swear, I will burn this fuck to the ground " she snarled

Satomi's eyes widened, this was his fault and the one friend he had was going to be killed

He got up and hugged Takeshi, crying into his chest

"D-Don't hurt her, I asked her if we could go outside,  what you said last night really hurt me so I wanted some air, I even made a painting"

He crawled to pick up the canvas on the floor to show his ink painting of a banzi tree

"I didn't run away, I came back, you can punish me just let her go"

Takeshi's eyes softened immensely,  looking at his fiance begging for dear life

His kitana fell to the floor with a loud clutter as he looked at Satomi's swollen cheek, he winced, realizing he overreacted for nothing yet again and made his lover fear him

Satomi still sat on the floor, grasping the object in his sweaty palms, while shaking like a new born bambi

Takeshi reached for the bot who instinctively flinched away in terror,  the man sighed, angry at himself

He picked him up bridal style and kissed his swollen angry red cheek apologetically

"Leave, bring some ointment for his face later on" he said without looking at his two servants only looking at the boy in his hand who had calmed down a bit

Hoshi opened her mouth to protest when Kang covered her mouth

"Yes your majesty"

Then he forcefully pulled the angry woman out the room

Takeshi made his way to his throne with his lover in his hands

He nuzzled his face lovingly before peppering it with kisses

"What have I done to you my love" he asked quietly

Satomi peeked at the man pouting heavily, very upset, he didn't respond 

"I'm sorry, ask for anything you want, diamonds, a new court yard, as long as you'll forgive me, I'll try to be better"

The boy looked away, not wanting anything, he just wanted to feel loved for once

"No" he whispered, his voice hoarse from the excessive crying

The large man sighed before making his way to the washroom

"How about I give you a massage and you ask me anything"

Satomi sighed and agreed, a warm bath would calm him down
