Chapter 11
Shiro walked out of his bedroom with a slight hangover. He walked over to his kitchen stepping over the sleeping bodies of Shinji, Ichigo, Grimmjow, and Nnoitra. He noticed Starrk was at the bar in his kitchen drinking coffee. He sat next to him and kissed the bruise on his cheek.
"I'm sorry, Starrky" he sat next to him facing the window
Starrk sighed "It's ok, you were angry but you deserved it."
"Why did I deserve it?"
"You both deserved it. You deserved it because you won't go see each other so I decided to give you a little push. You wanna hear that voice again you go see him."
"Why are you so passionate about us seeing each other?"
"Because it's stupid. I don't like seeing that look in your eyes. His eyes are all dull and yours are too. When I look at Ichigo and Grimmjow I see you guys, and I don't mean history repeating itself. When I look at them I see happiness and love and completion. But most of all I see two people who would rather die than be apart and in my eyes you and Godren are dead."
Shiro sighed and looked at Starrk. He smiled and looked back out the window. "Since when did you get so smart?"
Starrk smirked "Since you got stupid"
Shiro laughed silently "You were right"
"I'm always right but what about this time?"
"I wanna go see him." He sighed "But I don't wanna come back here without him." He turned to Starrk with watering eyes "I can't leave without him. I don't want to."
Starrk looked at him "Maybe you won't have to" he hugged Shiro "We'll find a way"
Shiro smiled at him "You're a good brother, Starrky." He stood up "I'm going to my music studio so do what you may"
"Ok, I'm going to sleep in your bed cuz I'm pretty sure it's the most comfortable." Starrk stood up and stretched
Shiro smiled "Ok, if you drool change the sheets"
Starrk woke up hours later to his phone ringing incredibly loud. He rolled over in Shiro's bed, nearly forgetting he slept there he grabbed his phone and answered without looking at the caller ID.
"Hello" he said groggily
"Starrk, are you sleeping." Godren yelled
"Well, no you can't talk on the phone and sleep." He yawned
"Bring them home" he said flatly
"Who…Oh….wait what?"
"You got twelve hours to bring em or I'm sending someone out there to get them."
"Get who? Wait what? What is goin on?"
"Goodbye, Starrk" Godren hung up the phone without another word.
Starrk rolled his eyes and laid back down before sitting straight up. "Oh shit"
He got out of bed and walked into the living room surprised to see everyone in there watching tv. Starrk then wondered how long he was asleep. He walked in front of the tv and turned it off earning pillows to the face and insults.
"Pack up. We gotta go. Godren called. We need to be back in twelve hours or he's sending someone here to get you." Starrk said rolling his eyes at the command.
"He wants you to leave?" Shiro said walking into the living room. He had a lost look in his eyes, he wasn't ready for them to leave they just got there.
"Shiro, come with us you said yourself you wanted to come." Starrk pleaded
"But he won't come back with me" Shiro said sadly looking at his hands while he played with his fingers, something he always did while conflicted.
Ichigo stood up and walked over to him. He pushed his hands down and held his chin up so he could look in his eyes. "He'll come. He loves you."
"But…?"
"We'll figure it out" Ichigo knew Shiro's question. They'll figure out who'll be king when the time comes.
Shiro sighed "Okay" he smiled and then turned to go in his room.
"Where are you going?" Ichigo asked
"Ichigo, rule one in meeting an ex always always show up sexy. And I mean sexier than ever before. This man has seen me naked and that was eighteen years ago since then my ass has gotten bigger, my legs are longer, and I am a whole hell of a lot better at sex. I'm like wine I get better with age." Shiro ran his fingers through his hair.
Ichigo rolled his eyes "We don't have enough time for you to look like me again so just look like an older version."
"Fuck you, Ichi"
"I have someone for that."
Shiro rolled his eyes and walked into his room. "Give me like an hour and a half. And don't tell him I'm coming I want it to be a surprise."
Starrk smiled "I won't"
They all walked up to the castle holding hands. They took a deep breath before entering. As soon as Shiro walked in he was flooded by memories.
"Godren" The king said with great authority "This is Shirosaki Kurosaki. He will be your tutor."
Godren, now fifteen, rolled his eyes. He was sitting in his chair next to his father's, he slouched in it while he glared at the newcomer "I don't want a tutor."
"That's too bad, you need help with your math and Shirosaki will help you"
"I don't want help"
"That's too bad, brat" Shiro snapped
Godren jumped up out of his seat. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
"You, brat." Shiro challenged him
Godren marched down the three steps separating the royals from the common. He stepped up to Shiro and bumped his chest and was very surprised he didn't back down seeing as Shiro was a good five inches shorter than him. "Say it again" he growled
"You. Are. A. Brat."Shiro smirked a little. "What are you gonna do about it?"
"Godren" The king said in warning knowing his son is very easily angered
"It's fine" Shiro said "I'm not afraid"
"And why aren't you" Godren growled
"Because I'm not afraid of someone who's afraid of everyone else." And with that Shiro turned around and walked out of the castle "I'll be back tomorrow to start our lesson." He looked at Godren "10 a.m. be ready I don't wanna hafta wake you up."
Godren rolled his eyes and marched off to his room cursing up a storm.
The next few week were filled with tension all Godren did was stare Shiro down growling everyone once in a while just so he knew he didn't like him. And all Shiro did was anger him by looking right back at him with his head slightly tilted and a small smile on his face. Everything changed one morning when Shiro walked in an hour late and Godren couldn't wait to lay into him but when he walked in Shiro wasn't acting like himself. He was quiet and he didn't tease Godren about his studies he just sat down and handed Godren his paperwork for the day. After a while he got up and looked out the window Godren could hear him sniffling quietly and he didn't like it.
Godren walked over to him and leaned on the wall beside him. "Is there something wrong?" he asked softly. Shiro sniffled and shook his head. Godren knew he was lying so he grabbed Shiro chin and turned him to look at him. "Why are you crying?" he wiped a tear from his face.
"My…..friend and I got into a fight last night when I got home and then again this morning." Shiro sniffled
Godren wasn't dumb he knew Shiro was talking about a boyfriend but he didn't care about a person's preference. "Then what happen?"
"We're….we're not friends anymore." More tears slid down his cheeks.
"Hey. Hey. Hey, don't cry" he wiped more tears off Shiro's cheeks "You'll find more….friends. I'm sure a great….friend." Shiro laughed at Godren's difficulty he could tell Godren knew what he was talking about. "You look like you're good at doin the things…friends do to each other."
Shiro's jaw dropped and then he laughed "Did you just call me a slut?"
Godren opened his mouth to say something but then closed it.' Did he call Shiro a slut?' "No"
Shiro laughed and wiped his face "Thank you"
"For what?"
"Helping me feel better."
Godren didn't know what to say he didn't mean to make Shior feel better but tears on the boy didn't look too good plus they made Godren feel bad. "Um you're welcome..I guess"
Shiro laughed again and then things were quiet. They took a moment to look into each other's eyes for a minute and then Shiro leaned in and kissed him. He pulled back quickly and put his hand over his mouth.
"Oh my God. I am so sorry. Please don't tell I swear it was an accident. It'll never happen again I'll…" Shiro was cut off when Godren smashed they're lips together. Godren pinned Shiro to the wall and licked his lip asking for entrance and Shiro let him in. Their tongues dance for what felt like hours in paradise but unfortunately for them they both needed air and had to break apart.
"See you are good at doin things that friends do" Godren grinned
Shiro smiled and tilted his head back "Shut up" he sighed "What are we doin?" he looked Godren in the eye
Godren sighed too "I don't know one minute I wanna lay into for being late the next minute I wanna kiss all your tears away."
"Aww" Shiro cooed and gave Godren a peck on the lips "That is so sweet"
Godren rolled his eyes "Don't get used to it."
"I won't"
Godren sighed again "I don't know what to do but I enjoy kissing you and I would love to do it over and over again."
"If we do that we'll have to do a lot of hiding and sneaking around and that'll be really hard cuz I'm only here four hours out the day."
"What if you lived here?"
"Why in the hell would I live here? I'm a tutor not a second in command. What would your father say?"
"Don't worry about all that I'll handle it just have your bags packed so you can move in tomorrow."
"This is moving a little fast. What if we don't make it?"
"Then I'll say you raped me and have you kicked out." Godren said with a smirk
Shiro glared at him. "I'm so goin to kick your ass one day"
Godren kissed him. "I'd love to see you try."
"I will succeed"
Godren laughed and dived in for another kiss this one just as passionate as the last.
Godren was right he convinced his father to let Shiro live there and Shiro moved in the next morning. For a few months everything was well they argued about everything easily annoying one another but make up sex was always right behind it, or angry sex it always depended on how stupid the argument was. Shiro slept in the room across from Godren so they could sneak into one another's room whenever they please. Godren would be the one to move into Shiro's room because he couldn't stand being away from him, sure he was a little possessive but he couldn't help it he loved Shiro and would protect him with his life.
They were together for three years, they spent every waking moment together. They hated each other but loved each other just as much. They knew they couldn't be together forever, Godren was turning eighteen and has to become King, Starrk is too young and his older brother Nnoitra ran away long ago. Godren and Shiro wanted nothing more than to be together forever they thought of plan after plan but nothing seemed right and it didn't help that Godren was conflicted. Yes he loved Shiro with all his heart and he wanted nothing more than to be with him for the rest of his life but he also aspired to be King, being King has always been his dream something he knew he would be great at it. He now has two dreams and both can't be fulfilled its one or the other. Godren wasn't ready to make the decision but knew he had to he just wasn't ready for that decision to be made for him.
Its Godren's eighteenth birthday and tonight they sit on the balcony and watch the stars like they do every night but this night is special because they know they don't have much time left. They sat on the floor of the balcony, Shiro using Godren as chair and humming something he heard earlier that day.
"Shiro" Godren whispered
"Hmm"
"Sing me a song"
Shiro thought and then smirked "If you wanna be my lover you gotta get with my friends.."
"Not that one." Godren growled
Shiro laughed okay let me think. "Ok I got one…On a perfect day I know that I can count on you. When that's not possible tell me can you weather the storm? Cause I need some body who will stand by me through the good times and bad times he will always, always be right there. Sunny days everybody loves them tell me baby can you stand the rain? Storms will come this we know for sure can you stand the rain?" Shiro sang with a giant smile on his face he's always liked this song it spoke to him.
Godren swayed with Shiro as he sang kissing him here and there while he sang the song. When Shiro finished the song they sat in silence again and they their worst fear happened they were found.
"Shirosaki Kurosaki" the King said making both boys jump and look at him with fear in their eyes "You are under arrest" he said calmly.
"No" Shiro said quietly with tears in his eyes he looked at Godren and then at the King. "Please" he cried "I'm sorry…it won't happen again."
"This has been happening for months" the King said looking away from the boys disgust clearly written in his eyes
"No it hasn't" Shiro cried
"Guards" the King called and two guards stepped out
Godren who had been quiet all this time, watching his greatest fear come to life was very shocking, stood up to protect Shiro. "No, you can't take him" staring his father down
"Godren" the King growled "move you will not protect this boy he is nothing but trash. I let him stay in my home and he did nothing but corrupt you."
"He did not corrupt me I love him all on my own." Godren growled back
"Love?" his father scoffed "You cannot love a man you are a man."
Godren grabbed Shiro's hand "The heart wants what the heart wants." Godren's head then snapped to the side when he was slapped by his father.
"Godren" Shiro screamed, he walked in front of him to check the wound "Are you okay?" he asked rubbing his cheek
"I'm fine."
"Take him" the King ordered
Shiro was then picked up and thrown over a shoulder. Shiro kicked and screamed to get free he might be heartbroken but he's going down without a fight.
"Let him go" Godren yelled he ran up to take Shiro back but was blocked by his father. "Move" he growled
"Why? So you can be with that dirty slut."
"Do not say that about him."
"Why? Because you love him? You don't know what love is."
"Yes I do now move"
"What is love then, Godren? I'll tell you what it's not. It's not faggot sex with your little poor slut."
Godren then lost his temper and punched his father he tried to pass him but his arm was caught and he was pulled back to look at his father. The man laughed a little, he sounded crazy.
"You think you're man enough to hit me now?" he taunted "Clearly that slut has made you crazy too." He back handed Godren this time knocking him to the ground. "Remember you'll never be as good as I for I am who you aspire to be always remember that."
"Godren" Shiro screamed when he saw him on the floor. He managed to get away from the guard holding him all his kicking and screaming helped him land a kick in the groin and the guard dropped him and Shiro ran to his love. He ran over to Godren but was stopped when the King grabbed him by his hair. Shiro hissed refusing to let this man know he was hurting him.
"You just keep getting into trouble don't you?" he pulled Shiro up so he could look at him in the eye. "Get out. Get out of my castle and my country. You are exiled and if you ever come back I will have you killed and him too." He nodded over to Godren who was glaring at his father ready to kill the man if need be. "Do you understand?" he smirked
Shiro took a shaky breath "Yes" he said quietly
"Shiro…" Godren said in disbelief he didn't think Shiro would give up so easily
"I have to." Shiro said
"Shut up" the King growled yanking Shiro's head back "Now get out" he said throwing him to the ground.
Shiro looked at Godren one last time before walking out of his life forever.
Shiro bumped into Ichigo when everyone stopped in front of a door. Shiro was confused this wasn't the King's office.
"Wait a minute" he said "The King's office is down the hall."
"No it's not it's right here" Ichigo said "I know it's been a while but it's right here"
"That's weird, the King's office has been down the hall for like hundreds of years"
"Well maybe this room is just a lot more comfortable." Starrk said with a small smirk
Shiro gave him a confused look and looked around and then he recognized where he was. The room behind that door was where he tutored Godren, where they had their first kiss. Shiro smiled and his eyes got a little watery, he wiped his eyes before telling everyone to walk in the room he wanted to go last.
Everyone walked in quietly eager to see what would happen when Godren and Shiro met for the first time in eighteen years. When Godren saw Shiro he froze. He thought he'd never see Shiro again but there he was in his castle looking at him, looking better than ever he might add.
"Long time no see, brat"
