Creus' Training continues…

"What do you mean, Teacher?" The young Creus asked to the former Sun Knight, not trusting his ears for the millionth times already.

"It has been deemed by the mercy of the God of Light in regards to the ignorance of his people…blah blah blah…" the older man said when all he's saying is [don't make me repeat myself, stupid! Rule number 1, listen to every word I say!]. This is also noted with a swift hit on Creus' head.

"As I was saying, your next training is blushing."

Again, Creus can't believe it, nursing his now swollen cranium, young Creus dared to asked, "What in God's Light does blushing has to do with anything?" indignantly.

Training to be the next illustrious generation Sun Knight has its perks and it is slowly becoming apparent to Creus that it knows no bounds…from simple gestures, postures and normal day-to-day activities (i.e. sleeping, eating and even breathing!) should be based on the teachings of his Teacher. Obviously blushing is included.

"Silence" another hit. Creus squirm with pain. "Blushing is the greatest proof of innocence and purity! Such (weapon) gift is necessary in a Sun Knight's (existence) mission!

And again Creus is aghast; it has always been like this. Making him do stupid things just to be the perfect Sun Knight everyone expected from the successor and to think that the only criteria he ever accomplished were his looks. And it's not even his doing, what with his mother and father having the correct gene pools in their DNA to create someone (which is him, by the way) that fits the position.

Still his Teacher continues his sermon. "The Sun Knight should blush at his second cup of alcohol. He should blush meekly at every gift he receives in light of His Holiness. And his cheeks should be stained with rosy colour everytime he praise the magnificence of the god of Light, and…"

He has no choice. It's not like he can refuse his destiny, a destiny imposed to him by no other than the highest of all the Holy Knights. Doing so would be suicidal! It's the same of turning your back on the Church (where he based his whole life and beliefs), country (which is influenced by that religion), and those instant millionaires who bet on his proclamation as the Sun Knight. Actually he is more afraid of the last one. They celebrated for two whole weeks the moment he was chosen! If he step down then some other apprentice would be chosen and who knows what they might do to him! It's suicidal!

"Are you listening Creus?"

"Huh? Ahh, yes, of course…I just-don't get it." It doesn't make sense, as usual, he thought in despair. Even suicide can't save him now. But he is not that concerned, afterall he can always turn to those who are betting he might get evicted at the position. Creus has no idea whether to laugh or cry!

"What is it this time?"

"BLUSHING?! That's next to impossible. No one can blush on will, for goodness sake!" he retorted, almost drained from exasperation.

"Of course they can…" a grin slowly spread from his Teacher's face together with a cold chill that slithered at Creus' spine as he watched his Teacher. Now what?

~xXx~

Leithe's Training continues…

"Good job Leithe, you're doing great. Now on to the next" The older Judge Knight exclaimed as Leithe's face became as pale as paper.

I can't do this! the young Judge Knight in trainee thought. First he made me take random compliments from complete strangers…left me naked in the jungle for days! And made me do all other embarrassing stuff! Thank the God of Light, he didn't made me do it in public!—even as a child, Judge's reputation should always be intact—and all because of this training!] Leithe continued in his silent ranting, looking all tormented with agony.

"Ready? Here we go!" The man said as he stamped another—it's actually a series of—picture right in front of Leithe's face.

Silence…

Then suddenly Leithe's already pale face became even paler… and just like before, young Lesus fainted.

"As expected from my successor," the teacher pronounced with pride. "Though we do have to fix that paleness of yours, but that's another lesson…so far, you're doing great."

"I'm not supposed to look at those kinds of pictures!" Leithe retorted, almost fainting just from remembering the lewd scene from his head.

"It's just a naked girl, child."

"I'M FOURTEEN!" he could barely scream, like that statement can justify how criminally insane this injustice he is being put through right now.

"Correction, you're already fifteen" His Teacher said, brushing it off like it was nothing…

"But that's three months from now!"

Granted, even at Leithe's seemingly advance years and amazing mature outlook and personality, he still has no experience about the opposite sex. It's not Leithe's fault girls tend to squirried away whenever he's near…he is the future Judge knight after all…feared, ruthless, cruel and other synonymous adjectives, nouns and adverbs that linked him almost equal to the Death Lord himself…that's always been expected from his subjects. And he already accepted that. But still…

"Remember this Leithe…" the Judge Knight added "a Judge Knight never (definitely with great emphasis) blush no matter what the consequences or situation may be. One mistake and the image that generations have painstakingly built will crumble, do you understand this Leithe?"

"Anyway, you're getting good at this so here's your last test." Take it another notch, and the boy might die from draining too much blood from his head!

Leithe look up, expectantly, waiting for the worse.

"First, you need to find out the things that made you blush…" Leithe nod, pressure rising every second, "and then do it again and again until you can bear it, understood?" Judge commanded.

He frowned, "Pardon?" He asked not comprehending what his Teacher meant.

"You have to get used to them. Do whatever, to be familiar to it in every way, in every angle necessary."

"Um…I see, but…I don't know what else makes me blush." He admitted.

The Teacher was taken aback. It's true, come to think of it, they've done too many already, but there's not much that comes to mind that makes this boy blush. "In any case, we don't want you to be taken by surprise especially in a crowd; there ought to be something else." He added, looking all pleased.

"Yes, Teacher."

~xXx~

Anyway…

Creus went out to visit his friend that's not supposed to be his friend while looking downcast and dejected. The trees gave ample shade to the path walk he's headed to so he didn't mind the unusual excursion. If anyone asks why he's here, he can always say that his Teacher has an important errand for him. That always does the trick! After all, he has no business doing in the Other Side…

Seriously, that Sun Knight is driving me mad! Forcing a minor to watch porno! What is he thinking? He thought even if he did end up enjoying the show. B-but-but, how about all those yapping about how Teacher never seen me blush and all that! I did too, I just can't remember when!He continued sulking.

And now I'm supposed to do something so embarrassing, it'll make me blush every time I remember it!? And to think no one has to know! Talk about demanding! It wouldn't be embarrassing if no one witnesses the act! It would feel like it never happened! Creus silently shouted through the air. One of the lessons he had painstakingly learned and with good results. If not, who knows how many times he could have hurled unimaginable curses and insults to his Teacher and that Earth brat!

"How's your day?" a voice asked.

"Leithe!" Sun exclaimed, at once relieved to see a boy his age emerging from the dense bush of the path, finally finding someone to unburden the (torture) training he's been through. "You wouldn't believe what that (tyrant) teacher made me do!"

"Yeah, me too." Both smiled at each other knowingly. They're now at the secret comfort room of the Judge Knight. It's the only place they can talk freely. Though they've never shared their mentor's teachings, they understand what each one goes through. In a world where both have a predetermined life, job, friends and even story…they became close.

"So you see," Creus related "he even offered me to call a brothel!"

Hearing this, Leithe's expression becomes sour. He unexpectedly stands up, tumbling his chair in the process. "Did you accept it?" he asked vehemently.

"Huh? O-of course not!" Teacher said the girl might be the one who ends up passing his training. Geez, that guy has no faith! "What's the matter?" Sun asked, curious at his friend's sudden reaction.

"A-ah, nothing, it is nothing." he answered, trying to make himself calm.

"Then why are you blushing?"

"I am-?" Leithe glanced at the mirror adjacent to him…looking at his expression…tinted with red…"I-am…blushing…"

"Yeah, if only I could do that as easily as you do, you know whe-"

"Say, do you know anything about girls?" Leithe quickly cut, his face becoming red.

"Like kissing and stuff? Why'd you asked?"

"Nothing, just curious, I guess." The raven answered coolly betraying what's under his mind as it goes overtime, almost flipping in thinking what's causing him to blush. Is talking about these things enough to make me blush? but why doesn't this happen when it's with Teacher? Or any other person at that?]\

"Well not really…but I saw something wicked today" Creus claimed, leaning closer to his friend, like he's avoiding anyone else to hear…when in fact that's impossible since they're the only ones around.

"Really, like what?" he replied not really looking to Creus' face, inches away from him if that's the case…

"Well, the girl is like-" then I need to get used to this. "and then they…" I-I need to get used to this "It looks like he's—" I have to…

"Hey Leithe..?"

"Ah, what is it?"

"If you're so interested, then you should have these!" he offered cheerfully while lifting his robes revealing a bundle hidden and tucked at his trousers. It would be troublesome if someone saw "these" with Sun and so the hiding.

Leithe instantly glanced away, hardly noticing the bundle. "W-what are you doing!" he demanded, growing more conscious of his idiot of a friend, who (mind you) has no idea of how undesirably close Leithe is at losing his control…It seems like is whole body is painted red!

""Look!" Sun said. Leithe reflexively (out of habit) glanced at the pictures Creus is holding. Damn those freakish training! Then he fainted. All color drained from his face, the images casting a dark circle all over his head.

Confused, Creus said, "What's wrong? Don't like it?" Teacher said I should keep it, for references I guess.

Leithe was just recovering when Sun said "How about this?" another picture, another faint. Only this time Leithe's color is turning purple. "Weird, so I guess you don't like this either." He concluded.

"What kind of person would like that?" he mumbled harshly.

"It's just a girl and a boy, so what? I mean, it was not like we haven't seen each other when we took a bath before"

"Don't remind me…"he murmured weakly, realizing his cheeks getting hotter again at the memory when they were forced to take a bath, since he idiotically vomit at his friend. Panicking, they end up soaked in water meant to clean up his mess.

[Ahh, I'm doing it again! What's wrong with me! And why? What's causing this!?]

Sun's in the motion of putting the bundle back at his robe, lifting the flimsy silk again and revealing the creamy complexion beneath. "It's you…" Leithe said.

"What're you saying?" The future Judge held him by the hem of his robe.

"You're causing this…" he continued as he lifted Sun's robe higher…

"Hey, wha-what're you doing?" Sun said while desperately getting hold of the situation. His friend was masked with seriousness that's almost frightening, with his hand slowly peeling away the layers from Sun's dress. "Leithe! Stop this!" Sun's trying to struggle but Leithe is just stronger (way stronger) than him.

Then he pinned him at the tiled floor, giving him hardly any room to breathe, let alone move. And when Creus' naked beneath him, Leithe stopped.

His eyes roamed over Sun's body, like memorizing every exquisite inch of it. Creus' deep-set eyes that mirrors the clear sky, his nose, the smooth porcelain skin that's warm from his touch, his ears, his lips, slightly parted from breathing too heavily. Leithe wants to touch them, to own them, to call him his. He doesn't understand himself anymore.

Golden threads of hair spilled all over the floor, others entangled between them, linking them with the ones that has the shade of night. They were distinctly different but at that moment, no one can tell which is which, not even their owners.

Are you crazy? Creus wanted to shout to him but when he looked to his friend's eye, he can't utter a single word.

It looks like Judge is the one who's suffering, like he's the one who's struggling.

A reflection caught Creus' attention. It was his own image, only this time, his cheeks are red.

"I see…" he muttered. "Leithe…" at once, Judge averted his eyes, it's been a while since he heard his friends voice in this tone, and for the first time he's afraid…a feeling, long discarded trough rigorous training, and yet he felt an unmistakable dread…Does he hates me now? Is he mad?

He just wanted to stop Sun from exposing his undergarments again, but the moment he touched him, he just can't stop…Yes, he definitely hates me.

"Leithe! Look at me!" and Leithe obeyed "take your clothes off."

Startled, he released Creus. His face reflecting how confused he is.

Both is unable to turn away, and really that beats the reason, afterall, Sun needs to familiarize the only reason that makes him blush and record as much as he can, over and over again, until he has enough to remember or in Judge's case to get used to in times the need arises…like now…

"You heard me," he added. As they stare at each other, Leithe slowly unbuttoned his own robe, while Creus watched.

Fin…?

Note: I don't ignore any constructive criticism, so thanks Yuki no Tsuki for the advice! Uhm, I've written this when I've first seen LSK as a creation by OsRabbitCat (now known as Neko Kreuz *forgot the spelling) and it was kinda like a shoujo manga so I really thought it was a Japanese origin and not manhua (there's a difference). So I used some Japanese phrases just for the fun. Anyway, thanks for the heads up!
