Title : The Maou’s Brother and the Prince 1/?
Disclaimer : Not mine. Wish they were though.
Summary : Young Shin Makoku Princes. The three brothers weren't happy with their mother's newest lover. Help came from the future ... or did it?
Author’s Note : Repost from my account in fanfiction.net. My first Kyou Kara Maou fanfic ever! Shonen-ai, Shouri/Conrad, Yuuram, slight Gwendal/Günther maybe.
Part 1
“Whose are these?”
Conrad handed the clothes to Shouri. “My father’s. I don’t know if they’ll fit, but they’ll be much better than mine.”
Shouri noticed that the room was kept clean, but it didn’t look like a room for a maou’s husband. “Whose room is this?”
“Mine. You’d better get changed now, Shouri-san, before you get sick.” Conrad turned away, trying to find something to busy himself with. The wet clothing didn’t leave much to the imagination. He felt heat creeping to his cheek.
“I’m done.”
“Great. Er, let’s go then, Shouri-san.”
“Wait.” Conrad turned to look at the bespectacled man. “Why are you helping me?”
Conrad thought of what he should say. He had been wondering about that as well. When he answered, he realized the truth of his words. “Because I trust you.”
*****
They walked to the shrine with silence. Whether it’s an awkward one or not had yet to be determined. At night, not many guards could be seen, but Conrad took caution not to be seen by any of the guards. He told Shouri that until they had talked to Ulrike, it’d be better to hide from anyone else. He weren’t sure he could come with a believable lie anyway, so he agreed.
By the time they arrived at the shrine, Ulrike was waiting for them. “Shouri-sama I presume?”
Conrad gave Ulrike a bow. Shouri nodded. “I don’t know why I’m here, but I need to go back.”
Ulrike gave him a knowing smile. “I believe that Shinou is the one who can help you with that. He wants to see you.”
Shouri gritted his teeth. An audience with Shinou was not what he looked forward to, but apparently he had no choice. “Fine, let’s get this over with.”
*****
“Hello, Shibuya-san.”
Shouri looked at Shinou distastefully. The blond king still looked the same. Shouri didn’t like him at all after everything that happened but right now, he’s the key if Shouri wanted to go back. “Why did you send me here?”
“Well, as the daikenja said, I’m bored.” Shouri clenched his fists but said nothing. “And I’m helping you actually.”
“Help me with what?!”
“The unresolved tension between you and Weller-kyo.”
Shouri stared at him incredulously. “There’s no unresolved- Why are you looking at me like that?”
Shinou chuckled. “You’re so much like your brother. Continue denying the obvious, Shibuya-san, and maybe you yourself will believe it.”
Shouri decided he really didn’t like the king and there’s no way he’s going to let him do whatever he please with his life. “Return me to my time.”
“Can’t do that, sorry.”
The bespectacled man stared at the king. He stared back with a smirk plastered on his face. “I cannot do that even if I want to. Do you know how hard time travel is? Very energy consuming, more than traveling between worlds.”
“So don’t do that in the first place!”
“So,” Shinou continued without responding. “I’ll need some time to recuperate. In the mean time, you can, uh, spend some time with your dear Prince Weller.”
“He’s not- Would you stop playing cupid? You have a really bad strategy after all.”
“Now, that’s not nice. I’m trying to help and, I have to admit, it’s amusing. Good luck. You’ll know when you can return to your time. Have fun.”
“What?! Wait!” But Shinou was gone.
*****
When Shouri stepped out of the room, grumbling, he found Conrad was waiting for him. “Ulrike has explained everything to me.”
Since he didn’t know what ‘everything’ consisted of, he asked, “What do you mean?”
“Well, you’re here because of Shinou. Also, I have to introduce you to everyone as my distant relative which I have to tell you is not very good. You’re going to need a name and you also have to dye your hair. Ulrike and the other maidens will help you with that.”
“And where will I stay?”
“For now, my room I guess.”
Inwardly, Shouri choked. Conrad might look like a junior high kid in this time, but he’s still Conrad. He didn’t think it’s a good idea to stay in the same room with him. “I don’t think it’s …”
“Yes?”
“Is there any other place?”
Conrad shook his head. “The other rooms are not prepared and the usual guest room is being used.”
“I can still sleep somewhere else.”
Conrad gave him a smile, to Shouri’s surprise, with no trace of sadness like the ones the older Conrad gave him. “Shouri-san, I don’t bite.”
You don’t, but maybe I do. Shouri had to bite his lip to stop himself from blurting those words out. “I don’t want to bother you.”
“You’re not bothering me. Let’s go then, Shouri-san.”
Shouri forced himself to smile back and let the prince led the way back to his room.
