MCYT(Mostly Hermitcraft)Oneshot Boo... - Chapter 41: Chapter 41

It has been a calm and lovely day in the Castle in the quiet Kingdom of Deawizain.
Screams fill the corridor, which of course worries Wels since he is the Captain of the Royal Guard. Wels grabs his sword and goes towards the screams, he pushes the door open and looks around in case of any distress. What he sees is a servant, standing on a chair with a broom in his hand. He looks horrified.
"Sir?" Wels chuckles. "Is everything alright?"
"No- There is a dangerous beast threatening me!" The servant points.
Wels looks and sees a small spider. "A...spider?" Wels asks.
"Yes, a spider!!!" The servant yells. "They are hell spawns!" The servant swings the broom.
Wels shakes his head and walks over to the spider, he picks it up and opens the window, places the spider on the flower box, and closes the window.
"Tada" Wels says.
The servant blinks. "You- How are you so calm- that's a demon!"
Wels laughs. "It's a spider, it's not gonna hurt you." Wels offers a hand to help the servant off the chair.
The servant grabs his hand and gets down. "Mh- I guess so." The servant responds stubbornly.
Wels smiles. "May I have the pleasure of learning your name?"
"Oh, I'm Jevin." Jevin smiles and bows.
Wels smiles. "Lovely name, I'm Wels." Wels smiles.
"It's nice to meet you, Wels. I assume you're a guard here?" Jevin raises an eyebrow.
Wels grins. "Captain of the Royal Guard at your service." Wels salutes to Jevin.
Jevin grins and giggles. "Well I should finish cleaning before Gem has my head on a stick." Jevin smirks. "See you around blondie." Jevin walks off.
Wels stands there dumbfounded. "Blondie!?"
Jevin hums as he sweeps the floor of the kitchen. "Hmm~" Jevin grins and sways as he sweeps. He spins and pretends he's dancing with the broom as he cleans.
A few moments go by and Jevin spins and bumps into someone.
Jevin opens his eyes and looks up, he sees Wels standing there with a smirk.
Jevin's cheeks heat up. "H-How long have you b-been there!?" Jevin squeaks, embarrassed.
"Long enough, princess." Wels grins.
"I-I, Princess!?" Jevin blushes.
Wels chuckles. "Alright, alright. I just got here like 2 minutes ago."
Jevin sighs and shakes his head. "Do you need anything?"
"Well, I was going to grab food made for the knights, but I found you dancing around and didn't want to interrupt you." Wels smiles.
Jevin scoffs. "Just grab the food."
"Will do, princess." Wels chuckles when Jevin shouts in disapproval as he walks past him to the fridge.
Jevin grumbles angrily and finishes sweeping. When he turns around, he sees that Wels already left.
"Hmpf. Stupid knight" Jevin crosses his arms then puts the broom away.
What Jevin doesn't realize is that Wels is still around the corner.
Wels brings a hand up to his face and grins, admiring Jevin from afar. He can't help the faint blush spreading across his cheeks.
"Jevin!!!" Gem yells.
Jevin shoots up out of bed. "Yes?! What is it?! Did I sleep in late!? Do I have a meeting with the king?! Do I-" Jevin gets cut off by a cookie being shoved into his mouth.
Jevin blinks and looks up at Gem, she's holding a tray of cookies.
"You're fine, chill. I just wanted you to try these cookies Stress made" Gem grins.
Jevin squints at Gem and eats the cookie. "Mh. Tell her she's still great at baking." Jevin licks his lips and Gem laughs.
"I will, I do have something for you to do though. Get dressed, then take these down to the knight's training quarters." Gem smiles and places the tray down.
"Mhm. Got it" Jevin nods and Gem walks away.
Jevin stands up and walks over to his closet, he opens it and gets dressed. He is wearing a simple white shirt, tight black pants, and simple but nice black shoes. He fixes his hair and then brushes his teeth. Jevin goes over to the tray and picks it up, carefully taking the cookies to the kitchen and transferring them to a plate as he puts the tray in the sink.
Soon, he's walking down the stairs with a plate of cookies in his hands, making sure to be careful. Jevin walks down the hall as he hums softly. Once he reaches the quarters he raises a hand and knocks three times.
The door opens and he sees one of the guards, Ex if he's correct.
"Hey, What's up?" Ex tilts his head.
Jevin smiles. "Lady Stress made these cookies and Lady Gem advised me to bring these down to you all." Jevin holds the plate out.
Ex grins. "Alright, come on in" Ex steps to the side, letting Jevin in.
Jevin steps in and Ex closes the door behind him.
"Follow me." Ex leads Jevin to the training grounds.
Ex whistles loudly, catching people's attention. "Lady Stress and Lady Gem sent some cookies down for us!" Ex calls out.
A few guards cheer, and they all walk over to the main room.
Jevin sets down the cookies and steps back, when he does he bumps into someone and almost loses balance, until a hand wraps around his waist. Jevin looks up to see a familiar grin.
"Not you again-" Jevin groans unhappily.
Wels laughs. "What's that supposed to mean? Are you not happy to see me?" Wels raises an eyebrow.
"Not at all." Jevin deadpans.
Wels gasps and puts his other arm over his forehead dramatically. "Oh how you wound me." Wels pouts.
Jevin squints at Wels and starts laughing.
This causes Wels to stop being dramatic and join Jevin in laughing.
"Wels, stop flirting and grab a cookie before they are all gone-" Ex laughs as he grabs his 3rd cookie.
"Ok ok-" Wels grins, lets go of Jevin, and walks over to grab a cookie.
Jevin can't help but feel someone staring at him. He turns his head and sees one of the female guards glaring at him.
Jevin blinks, confused. "May I help you?"
The guard rolls her eyes and walks off.
Jevin blinks again, even more confused. "Huh. Ok?" Jevin shrugs.
A few weeks go by, and Jevin and Wels keep bumping into each other.
"What are you doing here?!" Jevin scoffs.
"Well I was on my way to the kitchen to find a snack, but it seems I already found one." Wels wraps his arm around Jevin's waist and pulls him close.
Jevin's face flushes. "Shut up, idiot!!" Jevin pushes against Wels playfully.
Wels starts laughing and hugs Jevin tighter.
The two stop when they hear a voice.
"What are you boys doing?"
They look to their left and see King Cleo.
Wels lets go of Jevin, salutes then bows to Cleo. "Good day, King Cleo."
Cleo smiles at Wels. "Captain Wels. Lovely seeing you here."
Cleo looks at Jevin and Jevin is just standing there.
"Jevin." Cleo grins.
"Cleo." Jevin grins back.
Wels looks at Jevin in complete shock.
"Come here you lil-" Cleo grabs Jevin by his shoulders and holds him in a headlock as she starts messing his hair up.
Jevin squeaks and squirms, trying to get out of Cleo's grip.
Cleo starts laughing as they ruffle Jevin's hair to their liking and then she lets him go.
Jevin grumbles angrily and fixes his hair.
"Next time, you bow." Cleo grins.
"Over my dead body." Jevin scoffs.
Cleo lets out a chuckle. "Damn, even when I'm King you don't respect me."
"Oh, no. I respect you. Just not after you mess my hair up." Jevin shoots a playful glare at Cleo.
Cleo smiles and then looks at Wels. "Oh- Wels." Cleo laughs. "You can stop bowing." Cleo grins.
Wels stands up straight and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly.
"Oh- You're wondering why I'm not scolding Jevin." Cleo grins. "This here." Cleo wraps an arm around Jevin and pulls him into a hug. "Is my-" Cleo puts on a cute mushy baby voice. "My cutie patootie baby brother!" Cleo gushes.
Jevin's face goes bright red. "Cleo!!!" Jevin squacks.
Cleo starts wheezing loudly.
"I am not- whatever you just said!" Jevin squirms out of Cleo's grasp.
Cleo wheezes so hard she almost falls over.
Jevin crosses his arms, he's definitely annoyed.
Wels can't help but grin at Jevin, his cheeks heating up.
"You are. A cutie patootie, Jevin." Wels grins.
Jevin's face goes even redder. "WELS!!" Jevin screaches loudly. Causing both Wels and Cleo to laugh loudly.
Jevin huffs angrily and storms off.
Wels wipes a tear from his eye and follows Jevin. "Awwww- Don't be mad, cutie patootie." Wels coos.
"Shut up!" Jevin squeaks.
Wels laughs and keeps following Jevin. "Come here cutie patootie!" Wels grins and opens his arms as he speeds up walking.
"No!!!" Jevin yells and sprints down the hall.
Wels grins. "OH CUTIE PATOOTIE!!" Wels dashes after Jevin.
"AHH-" Jevin yells as he runs.
Jevin pants as he hides behind a pillar. He wipes the sweat off his forehead and slides to sit on the floor. Jevin's cheeks hurt from smiling.
Wels peers around the pillar and sees Jevin, completely out of breath. But, Jevin is smiling.
Wels smiles at that fact.
Wels sits down on the other side of the pillar.
Wels slides his hand to the side of the pillar and taps it gently.
Jevin hears the noise and looks to his left, he sees a hand tapping on the pillar. Jevin gently moves his hand to grip the other's.
Wels grins and holds Jevin's hand gently.
The two sit there in silence, the only noise is their soft breathing.
A few minutes pass and Wels feels Jevin's hand leave his, he frowns and looks to his right. He sees Jevin peering around the pillar.
Wels smiles and pats the floor next to him.
Jevin scoots next to Wels.
Wels places a hand on top of Jevin's. Jevin looks over at him and smiles, he doesn't move his hand away. Wels returns the smile and gives his hand another small tap. Jevin nods and holds Wels' hand a bit tighter.
Wels squeezes Jevin's hand and brings it up to his mouth, placing a kiss on the back of Jevin's hand.
Jevin feels himself heat up and he starts to blush even darker than before.
Jevin takes a deep breath and brings his hand to cover his mouth.
"Thank you, Wels." Jevin whispers.
"For what, Jevin?" Wels asks gently.
"For making me smile...I don't remember the last time someone has made me smile like this." Jevin whispers again.
Wels smiles. "From now on. I'm making it my goal to make you smile every day." Wels promises.
"You-" Jevin chuckles. "You don't have to."
"I want to." Wels says with determination in his eyes.
A few more minutes pass and Jevin yawns softly.
"Are you tired, Jevin?" Wels asks gently.
"Hm..I think so...maybe...." Jevin mumbles sleepily.
Wels chuckles. "Alright. Let's get you to your bed, shall we?" He offers.
Jevin nods sleepily, he lets out a huge yawn before leaning his head on Wels shoulder.
Wels gently picks Jevin up bridal style and begins making his way to the servant quarters.
When he enters some of the servant's stare, others whisper and a few giggle.
Wels carries Jevin to his room in the quarters and gently lays Jevin on his bed. Wels smiles down at Jevin. "Goodnight, Jevin~"
"Night, Wels," Jevin whispers.
Wels ruffles Jevin's hair as Jevin leans into his hand.
Soon, Jevin falls asleep.
Wels smiles and leaves Jevin's room.
"You seem happy this morning" Gem grins.
Jevin raises an eyebrow. "I just got some good sleep." Jevin shrugs.
"A little birdy told me you were snuggling into some knight's arms last night." Gem grins.
Jevin's cheeks heat up. "Who- Who told you that-!?" Jevin squeaks.
Gem laughs loudly. "I'm not a snitch~" Gem grins. "I do have a job for you though."
"What is it?" Jevin tilts his head.
"Bring these new weapons to the knight training quarters. They are freshly made, be careful." Gem smiles and puts the weapons down.
"Got it." Jevin gives Gem a thumbs up.
Soon, Jevin is carefully holding a bag of weapons down the hall.
Once he reaches the door he knocks.
The door opens and he sees Wels.
"Jevin." Wels smiles. "Good morning."
Jevin feels his cheeks heat up. "M-Morning Wels."
Wels smirks. "Do you need something? Or were you just here to see me?"
Jevin scoffs and pushes the bag of weapons into Wels' arms. "It's newly forged weapons."
Wels smiles. "Thanks, Jev."
Jevin's cheeks heat up more. "Yeah- no problem." Wels smiles, "Come on in here, we have extra breakfast." Wels grabs Jevin's hand and pulls him to the table.
Jevin's face is red.
The knights welcome Jevin, except one. The girl who kept glaring at Jevin. Jevin finds her a bit...scary.
By the end of breakfast Jevin is leaving, he waves to the knights and walks off. On his way back he yelps as he is pulled into a dark room.
A hand covers his mouth and he's forced against a wall.
His eyes widen as he feels a sharp object pressing against his neck. He sees the knight who kept glaring at him.
"M-MH-" Jevin tries to get away.
"Shut up!" She yells and presses the knife into Jevin's neck.
Tears prick in Jevin's eyes.
"I am warning you. Stay. AWAY. From. Wels." She growls. "He is mine. If you don't I'll sell you to someone and they can use you for a farm." She grins.
Jevin starts crying.
"Awww~ don't cry." She laughs, cuts Jevin's cheek, and pushes Jevin to the floor. "Remember. Stay away. Or. Else." She walks off, leaving Jevin crying on the floor.
The next day, Wels is worried. He hasn't seen Jevin all day.
"King Cleo?" Wels bows.
"Yes, Wels?" Cleo asks, sitting on her throne.
"Have you seen Jevin?" Wels stands up straight. "I have not seen him all morning and I am getting worried." Wels frowns.
"I- Actually I have not. Maybe he is in the servant quarters." Cleo smiles.
"Alright, thank you." Wels nods and goes. He makes his way toward the servant's quarters.
As soon as Wels comes through the hallway and into the kitchen he sees Jevin standing near the stove.
Jevin's eyes widened when he saw Wels, he jumps a bit and hurries off into another room.
Wels frowns. "Jevin?"
No response.
Wels goes after Jevin. "Jevin??" Wels calls out and looks around.
After a few minutes he finds Jevin hiding in a coner.
"Jevin...what are you doing?" Wels walks over to Jevin.
Jevin looks up at Wels, shaking.
Wels frowns and studies Jevin's face. He sees a cut on his cheek. "Where did you get that?" Wels frowns even more as he gently cups Jevin's face, tracing his finger over the cut.
Jevin whimpers and looks away.
Wels frowns. "Jevin..what happened?"
"I-...I slipped." Jevin whispers.
"We know thats a lie," Wels responds.
Jevin looks down.
"Jev-" Wels starts.
"Wels!" Someone barges in.
Both look over.
Jevin's eyes widen and he shrinks back, it's the girl knight.
"Oh." She grins. "What's going on here?" Her voice is sickeningly sweet.
"Someone hurt Jevin and he wo-"
"It was her!" Jevin blurts out.
Wels' eyes widen. "What."
The girl locks eyes with Jevin, with an evil blank stare.
"I-I nevermind. No- No it's-" Jevin is cut off.
"Jevin!" Wels grips Jevin's chin and makes him look directly into his eyes.
Jevin's eyes widen.
"Tell me," Wels says with a caring but stern voice.
"I-...It...it was...it was her." Jevin shakily points at the knight.
Wels eyes immediately snap to the girl. His eyes full of rage.
The knight steps back. "H-He's lying!" She stammers.
Wels looks at Jevin, he sees Jevin shaking in fear.
"Lying?" Wels laughs. "What did she say to you, Jev?" Wels' tone goes soft.
"I-I...she" Jevin sniffles. "She told me s-she'd sell me..t-to someone..t-to make me a farm if I-I didn't stay...away from you." Jevin whispers.
Wels' eyes widen. "You...did WHAT?!" Wels turns to the knight.
"H-He..I-" she stammers.
Wels storms over to her and slaps her.
Her eyes widen and tears prick in her eyes. "B-But why are you believing him...I love you Wels!" she confesses.
Wels looks down at her, no mercy in his eyes. "I would never love someone like you. And also, In not attracted to women." He growls and pushes her into the wall.
She whimpers.
"What's going on here?!" Cleo asks as she walks in, she heard the commotion.
Jevin immediately runs over and hugs Cleo.
Cleo's eyes widen. "Jev? What happened?" Cleo hugs back. "Wels?'
"This horrible woman decided it would be ok to hurt Jevin and threaten to sell him to someone to make him a farm," Wels growls again.
"She....WHAT!?" Cleo yells, let's go of Jevin and gently moves him to the side. She storms over and grips the knights neck, nails digging deep.
She gasps and struggles.
"You are so lucky I'm not in the mood to kill someone, little girl. But, you are formally removed from the Royal Guard and you will be sent down with Wels to grab your items and if you ever step foot in this castle, I will behead you myself. Got it?" Cleo growls.
"Y-Yes K-King Cleo!" She coughs.
"Good." Cleo lets go of her. "Wels bring her to grab her items.
"Yes, King Cleo." Wels grabs the knight and drags her away down the hall to the knight training quarters.
Cleo quickly turns her attention to Jevin. "Jevin...are..are you alright?" Cleo pulls Jevin into a hug.
"I-I...I'm sorry Cleo." Jevin whispers.
"Huh? Sorry for what Jevin..?" Cleo mutters.
"For..causing so much trouble...if I never came to work here...you wouldn't have to-"
"Shut up." Cleo cuts Jevin off.
Jevin's eyes widen and he looks up at Cleo.
Cleo's hands grip the sides of Jevin's face. "You are not the reason bad things happen Jevin. To be honest Jevin..this is the happiest and most free-spirited I've ever seen Wels. You are making people happy." Cleo states. "Jevin, you are my brother and I will take care of you forever. No matter what you believe."
Tears form in Jevin's eyes. "T-Thank you, Cleo.." Jevin tightly hugs Cleo and burries his head in their chest.
Cleo smiles and rubs his back.
Jevin is currently lying down on his bed in the servant quarters when he hears his room's door open. He looks at the door and sees Wels, hiding something behind his back.
"Wels..?" Jevin's soft voice cracks slightly.
"Hey Jev," Wels whispers and walks over.
Jevin sits up as Wels kneels down infront of him and places the item onto the bed in front of Jevin.
Jevin looks down and sees a bouquet. A small note rests by them along with one flower.
"Did Cleo send me these?" Jevin tilts his head.
"No. I bought them for you, I knew they were your favorite. Bluebells." Wels smiles gently.
Jevin's eyes widen slightly, his cheeks flushing. "Th..They're..lovely." Jevin whispers. He picks up the bluebells and smells the scent of the flowers. He takes a sniff and smiles.
"I wanted to give them to you today because I really like seeing you smile, and...last time I saw you. You weren't...smiling." Wels gently grips Jevin's hand and kisses it.
Jevin feels heat rise in his face. "I-" he starts but stops.
His eyes slowly lower to the floor. "I..." he starts again.
Wels chuckles lightly and grabs Jevin's chin, gently lifting his head. "Are you okay?"
Jevin sighs softly and bites his lip. "I don't deserve you...I'm nothing special, I-" Jevin gets cut off by Wels pulling him into a tight hug.
Jevin freezes and closes his eyes.
Wels frowns as he feels his shirt become damp.
"Shh....it's ok Jevin," Wels whispers. "Let it out, sunshine."
As soon as those words leave Wels' mouth, Jevin starts sobbing into his shoulder.
"Oh Jev.." Wels whispers as he pulls him close.
Somewhere distant.
"My Queen. You have a visitor." A knight salutes and bows.
The Queen hums as she pets a dog sitting on her lap. "Let them in."
"Of Course, My Queen." The knight leaves and brings someone in.
The Queen raises an eyebrow when she sees a knight from...Cleo's kingdom walks in.
"Your Majesty." The girl bows.
The Queen grins. "Yes? How may I assist you?"
"I am here to be an informat for you, I dislike...King Cleo as much as you do and I have news for you." The girl grins.
"Ooh~ do tell." The Queen urges.
"Recently...a new law passed where we cannot make 'mobs' farms. I heard...that she may be trying to make that a law everywhere...no matter the cost." The girl locks eyes with the Queen.
"Oh ho ho~" The Queen laughs. "Martyn~!" The Queen calls.
A tall man stumbles into the room. "Y-Yes, My Queen?" He bows.
"Ready the guards~! It's time for war~" The Queen laughs evilly.
"Y-Yes, My Queen!" Martyn stumbles off into another room.
"Girl. You have proved yourself with this information. How would you like to join my army~?" The Queen offers.
"I'd love to, My Queen." The girl bows.
"Lovely." The Queen grins.
Back in the Kingdom of Deawizain
Cleo hums as they sign important papers.
"Your Majesty." The royal advisor walks in.
"Xisuma. How many times do I have to say this? Call me King Cleo." Cleo sighs.
"My apologies, King Cleo. You have a letter." Xisuma places it down.
Cleo hums and opens it. "Huh...It's from...Martyn." Cleo mutters.
"Oh- I should go..." Xisuma backs out of the room.
Cleo reads, worried.
"Dear Cleo,
I am sorry this is so scrambled, but I have to write quickly before 'she' notices. The Scarlett Queen is planning on attacking you and declaring war by tomorrow! I couldn't just not tell you because I- *words are sribbled out* Because we used to be...*words are sribbled once again* Never mind that. I just needed you to know. Also. One of your knights betrayed you! A short girl, with green eyes and black hair. Evil grin on her face! I hope you can prepare quickly.
I miss you..,
Martyn.
Cleo's eyes widen.
"She's...what!?" Cleo yells, then calms down when they realize shouting isn't gonna do anything. Cleo sighs and looks at the letter again, her eyes soften as she reads the last part.
"I miss you too, Martyn..so much," Cleo whispers.
"Alright!" Cleo yells in a commanding tone.
"The Scarlett Queen is most likely going to declare war after a first strike of our wall! I want 20 guards at the wall tonight!" Cleo commands.
"Yes, King Cleo!!" The guards salute.
"Wels!" Cleo shouts.
"Yes, King Cleo!?" Wels asks back and nods.
"Come with me to the servant quarters! Ex you are in charge of the groups!" Cleo walks off.
Wels follows.
"Yes, King Cleo!" Ex salutes. "Alright. Huddle up!"
Cleo walks down the hall with Wels by her side.
"Wels I want you to tell Jevin." Cleo stops.
Wels stops dead in his tracks. "What."
"I want you to tell Jevin that we are going to war, and you may not come back," Cleo whispers.
"I...I can't...tell him that-" Wels argues.
"You need to be honest with him, Wels. I don't care if you tell him you love him while you do, but you have to tell him you could die tomorrow." Cleo states.
"Tell him...that I love him?" Wels asks.
"Oh my gosh. Wels you are so blind. You love Jevin! Every time you look at him, you smile! You would kill for him! You do everything to make Jevin happy! You love him so much, you'd die protecting him!" Cleo yells.
Wels' eyes widen as he realizes. He...He does love Jevin.
"Now go." Cleo sighs.
"Yes, King Cleo." Wels walks into the servant quarters and straight to Jevin's room.
Wels walks in and sees Jevin knitting.
"Hey, Jev." Wels smiles sadly.
Jevin looks at Wels and his face lights up immediately. "Wels!" Jevin smiles.
"We...I..what are you making?" Wels walks over and sits on the bed with Jevin.
"I'm knitting you a beautiful sweater." Jevin grins and does a fake hair flip.
"Aw...really?" Wels smiles.
"Yes!" Jevin grins.
"Thank you. But...I need to tell you something." Wels whispers.
"What is it?" Jevin tilts his head.
"The Scarlett Queen is declaring war on us," Wels whispers.
"W-What." Jevin drops everything.
"I have to fight in a war tomorrow...and I may...I may die doing so." Wels looks at Jevin.
Tears form in Jevin's eyes. "You...no...don't go!" Jevin cries and hugs Wels.
"I'm sorry, Bluebell. This is what happens when you're the Head of The Royal Guard." Wels mutters and hugs back.
Jevin cries into Wels's shoulder for a few minutes before calming.
"Jevin..?" Wels whispers.
He hears soft snoring.
Wels frowns and realizes Jevin fell asleep from crying so much.
"I..." Wels starts. "F*ck.., Jevin...I love you." Wels whispers and holds sleeping Jevin close.
When Jevin wakes up he feels so cold...but there is a gentle warmth on him.
He wipes his eyes and realizes, one Wels is gone...but two...he is wearing Wels' shirt, it feels like a below-the-knee dress.
Jevin sniffles and hugs himself tightly. He curls up in his bed a buries his face into his pillow.
"Thank you for coming on such short notice, Scott." Cleo sighs.
"Of course, Cleo! I would never make you deal with this yourself." Scott smiles.
Cleo sighs and hugs Scott.
Scott smiles again and hugs back.
"I- Gosh I'm just so worried. Her troops are so much stronger than mine." Cleo whispers.
Scott frowns and gently pats Cleo's back. "Bestie. My troops are here to help too, you aren't alone." Scott offers.
"I know...I- I'm also worried..." Cleo starts but stops.
"About...Martyn?" Scott raises an eyebrow.
"Yeah.." Cleo looks down. "I haven't seen him in 3 years...I miss him Scott. No matter how much of a confident jerk he is, I really miss him." Cleo leans into Scott.
Scott frowns. "You'll see him soon, Cleo. I promise."
"Alright! Troops!" Wels calls out.
"Captain Wels!" They all salute.
"Ex! Your troop will cover the South and East portions of the kingdom!" Wels orders.
"Yes sir!" Ex responds.
"False! Your troop will help cover the South and will cover the West!" Wels orders.
"Yes, Sir!" False grins.
Wels sighs. "My troop! Follow me to the North Wall! Troops split!" Wels orders.
The troops split off into three groups.
*At the North Wall*
"King Cleo." Wels salutes.
Cleo and Scott both look at Wels.
"Hello, Captain Wels. I assume all the troops are ready for..." Cleo looks over the top of the wall to see a lot of the Scarlett Queen's troops marching over. "That.." Cleo sighs.
"Yes, King Cleo. We are well prepared. The castle is guarded heavily and everyone inside was ordered to the safety bunker." Wels states.
"Good, Good." Cleo sighs. "You know King Scott, correct?" Cleo looks at Wels.
"Yes, Good Day King Scott." Wels bows.
Scott smiles. "Hello. This one has good manners Cleo." Scott nudges Cleo.
Cleo sighs. "Yes. Very formal." Cleo smiles for the first time in hours.
But that ends quickly with a scream and part of the wall getting blown up.
Cleo grips her sword. "Guess it's time," Cleo mutters.
"Yes it is." Scott agrees.
"TROOPS CHARGE" Wels calls out.
The troops from both kingdom's charge in and immediately start fighting. Blood was immediately shed all over the grass of the kingdoms.
The loud crashing of swords and yells fill the air.
Wels wipes the blood off his face in a moment of peace. Then he hears footsteps getting closer.
Wels turns and draws his sword he raises his guard.
The person, an enemy stops in his tracks.
"Wels..?" The enemy asks quietly.
Wels lowers his guard.
"Hels...?!" Wels asks, in complete shock.
"I-I thought dad would have made you quit the national guard...training since he was against..it." Hels mutters.
"He tried. But you know Dad" Wels laughs gently. "He is soft to puppy eyes."
"Pfft- He is." Hels smiles.
This moment distracts the two knights until Wels grunts in pain.
Wels looks down and sees a sword plunged through his chest.
Wels makes eye contact with Hels.
"This is why they call you the best knight here Hels! You know how to distract the so-called best guard here!" A knight from the enemy kingdom grins and pulls his sword out from Wels' chest.
Wels gasps and coughs up blood, he falls to his knees and coughs in pain.
Hels steps back, eyes wide, hes shaking.
The other guard kicks Wels onto his chest and goes to stab him once again. This is blocked by a sword. The guard looks up and sees Hels blocking him.
"Hels what are you-" The guard is cut off by his throat being slit by a dagger.
"I hope you die." Hels growls, he quickly turns to Wels, letting the other guy fall to the ground. "Wels!!" Hels kneels and pulls Wels into his arms.
"Someone help!!!" Hels yells. His voice is drowned out by the fighting. Hels looks down and sees Wels bleeding out. Tears form in his eyes. "F*ck! Someone please!!" Hels yells angrily, he can't move because he will be a prime target with the captain of the royal guard in his arms.
Minutes pass, and Hels is holding Wels in his arms, yelling for help, killing anyone who comes close to harm them.
He soon hears footsteps then they seem to stop.
Hels looks up and sees the King, Cleo.
Hels has tears streaming down his face as he holds Wels. Cleo is much stronger than he is, he expects Cleo to behead him right now for even touching Wels. Instead, he feels Cleo's hand rest on his shoulder.
"You three! Get these two to the medical bay immediately!! No ifs or buts! Got it?!" Cleo informs.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The three men salute and help Hels and Wels to the medbay safely
Cleo gruns and turns. She heads straight back into the battlefield.
The war goes on for hours, with no end in sight. Bodies are lying and dying on the grass. Everything smells like blood. Loud yells, bombs exploding...repairs costly.
Cleo pants as she hides behind an undisturbed wall.
Cleo hears footsteps and turns quickly.
"C-Cleo..?" A gentle voice whispers.
Cleo's eyes widen. "M-Martyn....?!" Cleo asks as she sees the man who she missed for 3 years.
"L-Look at you..!" Martyn smiles. "So strong. Just...how you promised to be."
Cleo walks closer to Martyn and grips his hands. "Martyn...I missed you so much." Cleo confesses.
"I missed you too, Cleo.." Martyn rubs his thumbs over Cleo's palms.
The two stare at each other with gentle smiles, Martyn leans in closer and smiles.
Cleo cups the side of Martyn's face and grins.
Out of nowhere, Martyn yells in pain.
Cleo jumps back and looks at Martyn. Martyn has a sword plunged into his back, sticking through his chest.
Cleo looks up and sees the grin she wished she never saw again.
"Ahaha~! Look at you two~ So cute. It's too bad I love seeing your misery, Cleo." The Queen laughs as she yanks her sword out of Martyn's chest, kicking him onto the ground.
"P-Pearl! What are you doing?!" Cleo yells. "Martyn is your friend!!!"
"Friends? Don't be dumb. I don't have friends!" Pearl laughs.
"Yes, you do! Pearl! I was your friend!!" Cleo shouts.
Pearl growls and stabs Martyn a second time, Martyn screams in pain.
Cleo drops to her knees and pulls Martyn into her arms. "You're going to kill him!!" Cleo yells.
"That's my plan. It also includes killing you." Pearl lifts her sword.
Cleo looks down at Martyn, his eyes glossy snd blood covering his whole shirt. "I love you, Martyn," Cleo whispers and hugs him tightly.
Martyn's eyes widen slightly.
Before either of them could do anything else they heard a scream.
Cleo looks up and sees Scott stabbing Pearl in the heart.
Scott looks down at Pearl. "You won't." Scott twists the sword, causing Pearl to fall to her knees. "Hurt my best friend." Scott states and yanks the sword out of Pearl's chest.
"THE QUEEN HAS FALLEN!!!!" Scott yells, loud enough to be heard for miles.
The war slowly comes to an end as the Kingdom of Deawizain wins.
Hels gently rocks back and forth as he looks at Wels, who is out cold.
Ex walks in and wraps a blanket around Hels' shoulders.
Hels looks up and Ex in confusion.
Ex gives a gentle smile and tilts his head, hair falling into his face.
Hels blinks as his cheeks heat up.
Ex walks off into another room to discuss with the medic.
Hels curls up and hides under the blanket.
One thing that startles Hels is a short male running in, he looks panicked.
"Wels!" the person walks over to Wels and frowns, it looks like he is going to cry.
Hels looks up at him, it's a blue slime hybrid, with blue fluffy hair, and teary blue eyes.
"Jevin!" A short girl runs up to 'Jevin', she has ginger hair, green eyes and antlers. "Dont-" she pants. "Why are you so fast-"
Jevin looks at the girl and gives a sad smile. "Sorry, Gem."
'Gem' stands up straight and walks over to Wels. She frowns. "I thought I told him to be careful! When he wakes up, he is gonna get a piece of my mind!" Gem crosses her arms.
Jevin sighs.
The two talk for a while until Gem leaves.
Jevin, however, sits on the bed. He leans back against the wall and sighs unhappily.
Hels groans, knowing he's gonna have to say something. He sits up and looks at Jevin, who is seemingly startled.
"Hey" Hels says plainly.
"Oh- uh hello?" Jevin says back.
"You a friend of Wels?" Hels tilts his head.
Jevin looks at Wels, his cheeks darkening slightly. "You could say that. Why?" Jevin looks back at Hels.
"That's my brother." Hels responds.
"Oh! I didn't know he had a brother-" Jevin hums.
"Yep. Twins." Hels studies Jevin for a minute. "Wait a minute- is that his shirt-" Hels points out.
Jevin visibly flushes, it seems he completely forgot he was wearing it.
Before Jevin can respond, people rush into the medbay, bringing more people in.
One noticeable person is Martyn, a good friend of his.
Hels stands up and goes over. "Martyn..?" He sees King Cleo sitting by his bed with her head on his shoulder, holding his hand.
"That's King Cleo's best friend." he hears a voice from behind him.
Hels turns and sees King Scott of Rivendell, Queen Pearl's ex..? Old friend..? No one really remembers.
"I see." Hels whispers.
"The war is over," Scott mentions. "Queen Pearl is in the containment of the medbay if you want to see your Queen." Scott points to a heavily guarded area.
"You killed her?!" Hels asks, shocked.
"Almost. Cleo wants to keep her alive. She was our best friend." Scott sighs.
"Why...are you telling me this?" Hels tilts his head.
"You're Wels' brother. The one he talks so much about. If he trusts you, I trust you too. Wels is a good man." Scott smiles.
"I-...he really is." Hels sighs and stares at Martyn and Cleo.
A few days go by and Wels is resting and on the right track to recovery. He is still in a coma.
Hels sits at his side every day. Until one day.
Soft coughs wake Hels up. He looks to his side and sees Wels coughing, he's squinting, getting used to the light.
"Wels! You're ok!" Hels smiles happily.
Nurses rush over to Wels and check his vitals.
Wels seems confused about where he is for a good few seconds.
Hels watches as the nurses do their jobs.
"Where-" Wels coughs. "Where's Jevin-" Wels whispers shakily.
"Oh- I'll go grab him." Hels gets up and walks off.
Hels heads to the servant quarters.
"Jevin!" Hels calls.
Jevin walks out of the room and looks at Hels. "Yeah?" He tilts his head.
"Wels is awake." Hels smiles.
"WHAT-" Jevin shouts.
Hels laughs loudly and puts a hand on his shoulder.
"The first words out of his mouth were asking where you were." Hels grins.
Jevin's cheeks heat up. "One sec-" Jevin rushes back into his room, grabbing a bag. Soon he comes out. "Let's go!"
Jevin practically pulls Hels to the medbay.
"Hey!" Hels laughs.
When he returns Jevin rushes to Wels' side.
"Wels!" Jevin whispers worriedly.
Wels grins up at Jevin and reaches a hand up, gently caressing Jevin's cheek.
"Hi, Jevin.." Wels smiles gently.
"Are you ok..?" Jevin whispers.
"Yeah. I am great, now that I can see you." Wels grins playfully.
"Oh- Shut up!" Jevin groans and hugs Wels.
Wels giggles.
"I'm so glad you're ok, though. I thought I was gonna lose you, stupid." Jevin scolds.
Wels laughs.
"I thought I'd never see you again. See that stupid grin off yours. I thought-" Jevin rambles on and gently holds Wels' face with his hands.
Wels blushes and reaches up to gently caress Jevin's face.
Jevin's cheeks are pink and he has a cute pout on his face.
"I thought I was-" Jevin is cut off as Wels pulls him closer and presses his lips on his.
Jevin's eyes widen.
Wels pulls away and grins lazily. "You think too much."
Jevin stands there in complete shock, his cheeks getting darker with each second.
Wels giggles. "So cute."
Jevin blushes more. "Dumb knight!" Jevin scolds as he grips Wels' shirt and pulls him up, gently kissing him.
Wels chuckles as he wraps his arms around Jevin's neck, kissing back.
After a few moments, someone clears their throat.
Wels and Jevin break apart, blushing.
"That was gross guys." Hels scoffs.
"Shut up, Hels." Wels frowns and pulls Jevin closer.
Jevin blushes, his face burried in Wels' chest.
"I will when you stop kissing! No one needs to see that-" Hels grins.
Wels scoffs and grins back.
"Nice shirt." Wels grins, leaning his head on Jevin's.
Jevin's face goes red as he eats his dinner.
Wels giggles. "I wonder where you got it from." Wels turns his head so his nose is pressed into the crook of Jevin's neck.
"Someone real annoying" Jevin pouts.
Wels barks out a laugh.
"Owch. I am so wounded. Whatever will I do?" Wels drapes his arm over his forehead dramatically.
Jevin glares at Wels and grins. He then steals a piece of chicken off Wels' plate and munches on it.
"Hey!" Wels laughs.
"What? You were gonna eat that?" Jevin raises an eyebrow and smirks smugly.
"Yes. Yes, I was." Wels pokes Jevin's cheek.
"Well." Jevin grabs a potato wedge off Wels' plate and eats it. "That's too bad."
A crooked grin forms on Wels' face as he stares at Jevin.
Wels gently cups the side of Jevin's face.
Jevin raises an eyebrow.
"You have something.." Wels leans in. "Right here." Wels kisses Jevin gently.
Jevin's cheeks flush as he leans into Wels and kisses back.
Hels walks in and squints at them. "Gross." Hels turns and bumps into someone.
His eyes widen as he looks up to see Ex.
"Hey there." Ex grins.
Hels looks down and blushes. "H-Hey- uh hi- um sorry for- ya know running into you- I mean bumping into y-" Hels gets cut off by a sweet laugh.
Hels looks back up to see a sweet grin on Ex's face.
"No worries, Hels." Ex gently puts his hand on Hels' shoulder, his hand practically covers his whole shoulder.
Hels' mind goes mushy. "Hah..haha yup-" Hels laughs awkwardly.
Ex smiles, gives him a pat on the shoulder, and walks off.
Hels is left standing there, completely red.
All he hears next is a smug, "That was smooth"
Hels looks behind him to see a smug Wels and a giggling Jevin.
"Shut up!" Hels squeaks angrily, causing both Wels and Jevin to laugh.
"Omg! Jevin you look fantastic!" Gem claps happily and looks over Jevin.
Jevin grins and does a spin, looking at himself in the mirror. He is wearing a blue suit jacket, an off-white button-up, nice blue pants, and some dress shoes, his hair is tied back into a short bun and out of his face.
"Thanks for doing my hair, Gem." Jevin smiles.
"No problem! One last thing before we go to the celebration!" Gem pulls Jevin to sit down. She leans down and grins, shes holding lipstick.
"Gem- no-" Jevin speaks up.
Gem grins and practically holds Jevin down.
"GEM NO-" Jevin yells.
"Nice outfit, Wels" Hels grins.
"Thanks!" Wels smiles and fixes his outfit. He is wearing his more professional royal guard outfit. A deep blue jacket with many pins on it, a black turtleneck under it, a black belt and black pants, along with boots.
"The only thing wrong...is your...HAIR!" Hels yells and starts ruffling Wels' hair.
"Hels!!!" Wels laughs trying to escape Hels.
"I just did my hair!"
"Too bad!!!" Hels tackles Wels and ruffles more.
"HELS-" Wels laughs loudly.
"I hate you." Jevin squints at Gem who is grinning.
"Oh my, that lipstick looks wonderful on you, Jev." Cleo teases, she is wearing a wine-red dress with black heels, her hair in a bun. She has a necklace on along with earings.
"Shut up." Jevin frowns.
"Someone will definitely like it" Cleo wiggles her eyebrows.
"Shut- up!" Jevin squeaks. "Don't you have someone to go kiss!?" Jevin points.
Cleo looks and her eyes widen.
Martyn is chucking nervously as a nurse is making sure he is ok to walk. He is wearing a button-up black shirt, dark green dress pants, and an unbuttoned dark green suit jacket, with some dress shoes. His hair is in a small ponytail, pulling hair out of his face.
"I- I do," Cleo says and immediately walks over to Martyn.
"Martyn," Cleo says.
Martyn looks over and sees Cleo.
"C-Cleo." Martyn's cheeks flush.
Cleo's arms drape over Martyn's shoulders, pulling him closer. "Martyn.." Cleo whispers and pulls Martyn down to kiss him.
Martyn's eyes widen as his hands grip Cleo's waist. He closes his eyes and kisses back.
Jevin and Gem are watching from the side with sly grins.
Gem pokes Jevin. "Look Jev, Mr. Loverboy is here."
Jevin looks across the room and blushes.
Hels and Wels walk into the ballroom.
Jevin blushes more when he sees how Wels is presenting himself.
Wels has his put together outfit, but his hair is fully down and completely fluffy. Jevin wants to run his fingers through it.
"Go ahead." Gem nudges him.
"I'm going- I'm going-" Jevin scoffs and walks over to Wels.
"Hey." Jevin smiles shyly and looks up at Wels.
Wels looks down at Jevin and blushes. "You look gorgeous."
Jevin blushes as Hels laughs.
"A hello would work, Wels." Hels nudges Wels. "Have fun, kids" Hels walks off.
"Hey.." Wels whispers, his hands immediately falling to Jevin's waist, pulling him closer.
Jevin blushes and leans his forehead against Wels' chest.
"I swear...you are the prettiest person I have ever laid eyes on." Wels breathes out gently as he buries his face into Jevin's hair.
Jevin blushes and looks up at Wels.
Wels' cheeks flush. "Hello, beautiful.."
"Hi.." Jevin whispers, wrapping his arms around Wels' neck.
Wels brings his hand up to Jevin's face, gently cupping his cheek. He runs his thumb over Jevin's lip.
Jevin blushes. "Gem..made me wear the lipstick."
"It looks good on you, but everything does." Wels breathes out.
Jevin blushes, and one of his hands grips Wels' arm.
"Wels.." Jevin whispers.
"Yes..?" Wels bumps their noses together.
"Kiss me." Jevin grips Wels' shoulders.
Wels doesn't verbally reply, instead, he presses his lips against Jevin's passionately.
Jevin kisses back, holding Wels close.
They kiss for a few minutes until they are interupted by a loud trumpet, announcing Cleo for her speech.
"Welcome, People of Deawizain! Today we are gathered in a celebration of winning the war against the Scarlett Queen!" Cleo calls out.
Cheers fill the room.
"Together I will have a toast." The King Raises her wine glass.
"Today we are here because of our strong Royal Guard and our strong Captain Wels!!!!" Cleo points.
Everyone looks and cheers.
Wels laughs and smiles. He waves to everyone.
"Wels come on over here!" Cleo smiles.
Wels walks over to Cleo.
"For the longest time, Wels has been our Captain! Even when he first joined he has been a great member of our guard! Strong, Passionate and Caring. Today, for the first time in history. I will be passing down an ancient relic to Wels." Cleo grins.
Wels stands there puzzled. "Huh-"
"Xisuma, bring it out, please!" Cleo calls.
Xisuma walks over holding a case and hands it to Cleo.
"Open it, Wels." Cleo smiles.
Wels opens it and his eyes widen, he pulls out the item in it. It is the sword of the first leader of Deawizain.
People cheer louder.
"My King-" Wels starts.
"Don't say anything, Wels. You deserve to use that relic in battle and training. You have been a generous and strong Captain of my Royal Guard for years. Thank you." Cleo smiles.
More people cheer.
Wels looks out at the crowd, one reaction stands out to him the most. Jevins.
Jevin is jumping and cheering for Wels happily. The smile on his face is priceless and it makes Wels' heart melt.
Wels faces Cleo again and kneels down. "Thank you, King Cleo. I will take this relic with great care."
"I know you will, Wels." Cleo grins.
The whole crowd cheers one more time before the festivities start.
"Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!" People cheered as Hels chugged a bunch of beers in great succession.
Wels shakes his head. "You're gonna have such a bad hangover, Hels-"
Hels grins. "Worth...hah worth it!" Hels slurs, definitely drunk.
"What's going on here?" Ex grins as he walks over and smiles.
Hels' face flushes red as he stares at Ex, he is wearing a black dress shirt, red jacket, black pants, and boots. He has his hair tied into a low ponytail and has clips in his hair.
"Hels is chugging drinks." Wels sighs.
Hels nods.
Ex chuckles. "How many do I need to beat him?" Ex grins.
"10" Wels supplies.
"Easy work." Ex grabs a beer.
"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" People clap and cheer as Ex and Hels have a drinking competition.
Hels finishes his drink and looks at Ex who is currently chugging a drink. Hels' brain is fuzzy and warm as he tugs on Ex's arm gently.
Ex places his finished drink down and turns towards Hels. Ex is only a bit tipsy, but Hels is full-on drunk.
Hels pulls Ex somewhere.
Jevin walks over to Wels and hugs him, then he grabs some cookies.
Ex smiles at Hels. "Where are we going?"
Hels leads Ex into a corner and pins him to the wall.
"Ex...you- you're so pretty" Hels stumbles over his words.
Ex's cheeks go pink. "T-Thanks?" Ex stammers.
"I-I...kiss me Ex." Hels whispers.
"Hels...y-you're drunk!" Ex whispers.
"Well, I...I don't care, sober me wants to kiss you too.." Hels confesses. "Since I first looked at-" Hels is cut off by Ex kissing him.
Ex gently kisses Hels and runs his fingers through his hair.
Hels kisses back with just as much passion.
Ex's hands raise to grip Hels' waist.
Hels wraps his arms tighter around Ex's shoulders and leans into Ex.
From afar.
"Ew ew ew ew!!!" Wels covers his eyes. "I need bleach!!! Did not need t-" Wels gets cut off by a cookie being shoved in his mouth.
"Shush. I like this song." Jevin says as he stuffs his mouth with cookies.
Wels blinks and chews the cookies.
Jevin grins. "Thank you." Jevin presses a gentle kiss to Wels' cheek.
Wels smiles and wraps an arm around Jevin's waist. "Wanna dance with me, love?"
Jevin smiles and pulls Wels onto the dance floor.
Wels pulls Jevin close and holds his waist.
Jevin drapes his arms over Wels' shoulders.
A new song starts to play.
Jevin lays his head on Wels' chest as they start to slowly sway to the song.
"I've never been so happy....in my entire life." Jevin mumbles, his eyelids getting heavier by the second.
Wels lifts Jevin's chin and stares intently into his eyes.
Wels presses his lips against Jevin's gently.
He smiles as they kiss.
Their kiss is slow and passionate. They pull away, both slightly panting.
Wels rests his forehead against Jevin's. "You are the best thing that ever happened to me.." Wels breathes out.
Jevin smirks and plants a small kiss on Wels' cheek. "So cheesy."
"Shut up," Wels mutters quietly with a blush on his cheeks.
Jevin giggles, resting his head on Wels' chest, intertwining their fingers together.
Wels sighs softly. He loves this man. This perfect man. His angel.
"I love you...so much...you know that right?" Wels asks softly.
Jevin kisses Wels' jaw. "Of course, I love you too."
The two sway to the music as they hold each other close.
