Summary: The King's only son, Prince Jin, is gravely ill and it is said that only a kiss of life from a Whisperer - immortals who are able to wield magic - can cure the Prince. But Whisperers happen to be wiped out in the old times due to the decree passed by the previous royalties. Or so they thought until a Whisperer was caught. But there's a catch - this Whisperer happens to be a male.
A/N: WARNING! There's some Ryoda smut in this one. Not that I needed to warn you about that but then some might be miraculously innocent

"King Jin..."
A feminine voice...
A feminine voice?!
Jin opened his eyes and pushed the girl kissing him. "W-what?"
Princess Meisa looked at him with confusion.
"What do you think you're doing?!" He bellowed.
"I'm sorry. I thought-"
"Get out of my sight this instance! Leave my palace!"
He quickly stood up.
"King Jin, it was you who kissed me first!" Princess Meisa cried. "I was just checking to see if you were alright but you pulled me and kissed me! I-I thought you finally want me as your wife." Her voice grew fainter towards the end and she sobbed quietly.
Jin massaged his forehead. What a mess. He knew what he did to the princess was unforgivable. As a royal, he now had obligations to Princess Meisa.
How could things come to this?
He had stayed in the garden since last night because he was bothered by his fight with Kazuya and couldn't stay still.
He didn't realize that he fell asleep.
Before long, he had dreamt about Kazuya. He dreamt about kissing him.
He didn't realize his dreams were happening in reality. With the wrong person.
"King Jin?"
"I can't deal with you right now," he said to the princess in a defeated tone.
He ran towards the palace halls. He needed to talk to Kazuya. Even though he didn't mean to, he felt like he cheated on him.
"Have you seen Kazuya?" he asked the first servant he ran into.
"The guards told us he left earlier with three good-looking men, your majesty."
"What?!"
"Your majesty, I know it is not my place to interfere but...his highness Kazuya did not seem well when he left."
I have a bad feeling about this.
--------------------------------------
"I c-can't breathe..."
Tatsuya gritted his teeth. It makes him so angry to think that King Jin's unfaithfulness had caused his brother's energy to weaken this much.
"Damn it, Kazuya! Why did you have to give the kiss of life to such unfaithful race?! You know the consequences when a Whisperer's partner cheats on him!" Kaoru scolded.
Death. That is what happens to a Whisperer when his partner has a sexual act with another. The Whisperer's partner is left unharmed but will forever be burdened by the loss of the other. He will forever feel empty.
"But Kazuya's still alive. That means his partner didn't do anything drastic, at least." Hikaru hugged Kazuya, his gold lights comforting his brother.
"I never thought I'd see the day when you would defend a human," Kaoru said skeptically.
Hikaru snorted. "I'm not defending him. I'm just trying to rationalize things for our little brother."
"Silence, you two." Tatsuya glared at the twins. "Kazu had fallen asleep."
"Poor boy. He had always been so sweet. I don't understand why anyone could hurt him," Kaoru brushed Kazuya's hair away from his eyes.
"Sometimes Kaoru, those who you value the most are the ones who will hurt you the worst," Tatsuya said, remembering the one person that could be an example to that.
Ryo.
He had loved him and was even willing to mark him as his partner.
Ryo told him he loved him even after he confessed that he was a Whisperer. He told him it didn't matter what he was because he was still Tatsuya.
That night, he gave himself to Ryo.
"Aaaah..." Tatsuya could not help the moan that came out his mouth as Ryo's hand fisted his member.
"Do you like that?"
"Yes! Ah, yes!"
Ryo's hand on his cock moved slowly at first and then faster and faster.
"Come for me, Tatsuya."
That was all it needed for Tatsuya to spill his seeds on Ryo's hand.
He blushed when Ryo used his cum to coat his rock-hard cock.
"On your knees," Ryo commanded.
"Yes, master." Tatsuya obeyed. He dropped on all fours and presented his ass to Ryo.
"Good boy." In time with that, Ryo teased his opening by bumping it with the tip of his erection.
"Ryo, stop teasing me!"
"Tell me what you want."
"Your cock. Inside me-ah!"
Ryo had pushed his cock inside Tatsuya without warning.
It hurts. It really hurts. But the pleasure when Ryo began to ram inside him and hit his prostate was well worth it.
"Heavens, you feel so good!" Ryo moaned.
For a while, only pants and moans were heard in the room.
When Tatsuya came for the second time that night, Ryo followed right after while saying, "I love you, Tatsuya."
"Nii-chan? Nii-chan!"
"Huh? What?" Tatsuya said, disoriented.
"You were so red all of a sudden," Kaoru said, frowning.
"Oh, it's nothing." Tatsuya cursed himself for thinking those kind of things.
Ryo had not been true to him. He only used him to gain information to the other Whisperers. He only wanted to massacre a whole town of Whisperers to gain favor with his father. It would do him well to remember that.
"Meet me at the bridge when midnight strikes. We'll leave this kingdom, go somewhere else. I heard the foreign kingdoms far west does not believe in magical creatures. You'll be safe there. I have enough money to last us both a lifetime." Ryo held his hand and looked at him lovingly.
He discovered soon enough that Ryo was a very good actor. The noble had made him believe that he was truly in love with him when he clearly wasn't.
"He won't be here."
Tatsuya's eyes widened in shock upon seeing Ryo's father.
"Did you really think Ryo loves you?" The old noble laughed. "How naive. Here. Ryo tells me you might recognize this."
He caught the necklace that the noble threw at him. It was a simple chain with a heart pendant. Engraved on the pendant was the word 'Mint'.
His hands shook. It was his grandmother's necklace, the one given to her by her human stepfather. She never took it off from her neck. The fact that it was in the noble's hands means...
"I assume you've heard of the death of a Whisperer last night? She was such a beauty. Too bad she had to be from a vile race. But then, thanks to you and your stories we were able to lay a trap for her. The 'saving humans' part was especially useful."
Tatsuya's gold lights surrounded him in his rage. Ryo was the only one who knew those things. He was the only human he had told Mint's story to. He promised to keep it a secret especially from his father who hates Whisperers.
Ryo had betrayed him!
"How dare you trick Mint!"
"She fell for it, that was her fault. Just like it is going to be your fault once you die here. Disgusting creature." The noble scoffed.
"What makes you think I won't fight?" His gold lights glowed brighter threateningly.
The noble only sneered. "I know you cannot hurt humans. Ryo informed me well."
"I may not. But I'm not the only one who hates you."
From behind the bushes, large wolves slowly emerged, their mouths curled back in snarls and their sharp fangs glinting in the moonlight.
"It was stupid of you to come alone." Tatsuya sat on the bridge's handrail.
"Tat-chan!" A panting Ryo shouted from a short distance. He was out of breath from running.
"So you appear at last."
"What's happening Tat-chan?" Ryo asked confused. He looked at the vicious looking wolves and at the scared expression on his father's face.
Tatsuya looked at his master, his lover and decided to give him the benefit of a doubt.
"Did you tell your father about the secrets that I told you?"
"Tat-chan I-"
"Did you or did you not?!"
"It's not what you-"
"Answer me!"
"I did!" Ryo blurted out. "But it's not what you think-"
"Enough! That's all I wanted to know." Tatsuya felt the pain stab his heart. He felt like crying but he kept his face devoid of any emotion. His voice was also steady and calm. "Now then, join your father and be food for the wolves!"
The wolves growled and attacked both Ryo and his father.
"Tat-chan, help me!"
Tatsuya glanced back and with a cold voice, said "Why should I? I hate humans the most. Or did you think otherwise?"
He turned his back to them and ignored their pleas.
It has been more than 5 years since that night.
And not once had he ever returned to Azure. He didn't even listen to any news about that kingdom. For him, Azure no longer exists.
However, in one of his travels, Pegasus happened to be there. He told him of a proposal that Azure's newly crowned King made to a Whisperer. He listened because it was Pegasus that was delivering the news and one does not ignore the words of the oldest magical creature alive. Besides, the peculiar story of the lovers piqued his interest.
Once Pegasus described the Whisperer, he instantly knew that it was Kazuya. No one else has blue lights on him like his younger brother has. Pegasus confirmed his suspicion when he said the Whisperers name.
He was shocked to hear that Kazuya was engaged to a human king. That was why he hurriedly traveled to where Kazuya was, hoping to change his brother's mind.
When he arrived in the palace, however, he realized it was a lost cause.
Kazuya's partner already had a Whisperer's mark on him. He could easily sense it. That would mean Kazuya already gave him the kiss of life.
The bond between them was irrevocable. If you compared it to human words, that would be like a marriage, only more serious.
"Nii-chan..."
Tatsuya smiled at Kazuya. "Are you feeling better?"
"A little. I'm sorry I ruined a happy occassion," Kazuya said glancing at the twins. No doubt, he was talking about their supposed reunion.
"You never change do you? You always tend to blame yourself." Kaoru shook his head.
"It's not your fault, dork." Hikaru playfully knocked on Kazuya's forehead.
Kazuya mock-glared at his older brother. "I am not-" He stopped and stared in one direction.
"Kazu?" Tatsuya asked, concerned at Kazuya's sudden silence.
"He's calling me."
"Huh?"
"Jin. Jin is calling me," Kazuya clarified.
Tatsuya and the twins looked at each other. The human king was exceptionally good to be able to call on his partner this soon. For Whisperers, it was second nature to do so but humans were a different story.
"Are you ready to see him?" Kaoru asked.
Kazuya sighed. "I would have to face him sooner or later anyway. I can't just keep running away like this every time a problem comes."
"We'll come with you," Hikaru declared.
"No. There are some battles that I need to face alone."
Just then, the ground shook violently and a loud sound was heard from the direction of the town nearest to the palace. That sound was not ordinary.
It sounded like destruction. And to their sensitive ears, they could hear magical creatures crying in agony.
"Something tells me this is one of the battles you shouldn't face alone," Kaoru commented.
"I agree." Tatsuya said as he watched an ominous dark smoke rise above the kingdom.
"I agree too. You're outnumbered Kazuya. Kazuya? Kazuya!" Hikaru looked around but their brother was really no longer around. "That kid sure is fast."
"Come on, let's go help our brother!" Tatsuya instructed.
If anyone happened to pass by the place, they would have witnessed a Whisperer's true form - skin that almost glows in its fairness, hair that suddenly grows into knee-length, eyes the same color as the Whisperer's special lights and the most magnificent of all are their wings. The wings are made from their special lights and are bright and intricate.
It's been a while since we last transformed.
Can't believe we're doing this for humans.
Less talking, more fighting.
