Chapters: 1


Another quiet night, in another war to fight...

Arthur couldn't sleep that night. He couldn't sleep most nights. Thoughts
plagued his mind, making it too difficult for him to sleep. So many things it
usually left him with a migraine in the morning.

He watched the stars above, shining down below. They were always so
beautiful. Wherever he went, he'd like to stop and admire them. From this
awful war-hungry world, these stars shine to keep him in peace... Peace...

Will there ever be peace?

"You're still up?"

Arthur saw it was Arawn who spoke. He grinned at the Demon King.

"You too?"

"Can't sleep."

"Same here."

Arawn approached the swordsman and took a seat next to him. The relationship
of the two has greatly changed. The Demon King used to think of the swordsman
with great disdain, while the swordsman enjoyed irritating him in many
different ways. Now, they were both good comrades, willing to support each
other, through thick, through thin, through everything...

Everything.

"I'm guessing this isn't the first time." Arawn said.

"Yep." Arthur nodded. "Too many things to think about."

"Heh." Arawn remarked. "I can relate."

"Really?" Arthur blinked. "Like what?"

Arawn shook a dismissive hand. "Things from the past and things from the
present. And you?"

"Things from the past and things from the present." Arthur smirked. The Demon
King only chuckled. They didn't speak after that and decided to watch the
stars together. Arawn smirked this time and looked at the swordsman next to
him.

"And I guess you do this too when you can't sleep?"

"Mhm."

"I understand." Arawn nodded, and looked up again. "Beautiful."

Arthur looked back at Arawn. His face glowed in delight, and his dark eyes
seemed to sparkle. Possibly the stars' reflection, Arthur thought.

"Yeah." the swordsman said, answering his question.

His reply meant to be ambiguous.

Arawn noticed that Arthur wasn't looking at the stars anymore, but at him. He
couldn't understand him at all. Arthur just always seemed to surprise him one
way or another. The Demon King tried reading the blond's face, but couldn't
make out anything. But once he glanced at his bright blue eyes, he couldn't
turn away.

Their gazes were locked, and time seemed to stop. The rest of the world
blurred, and all they could see was each other.

They knew it was wrong... There were other people there but... There was just
this thing... This thing growing between them... A feeling? An attraction?

Should they pursue it? Experiment? Or should they back off? Now or never?
They didn't really know, but they couldn't turn away now. It's already too
late. There's only one way but to move forward... Move forward.

Their lips met, and there was a thrill. Like electricity. Brief, simple,
innocent...

They broke it off already, realizing what had happened. They did not know
what to say or do... The deed has been done.

"Goodnight, Arthur." Arawn said. Arthur nodded, a bit disappointed.

"Goodnight, Arawn."

But the Demon King didn't move but stayed with the swordsman. Arthur smiled,
falling back to lie down on the grass next to Arawn.

Finally, he can sleep.
