A Reunion For One
((ATTENTION! This story and it\'s characters are the product of my own imagination. If they bear any resemblance to yours I am sorry.))
Hey! I got my first review from someone who wasn\'t my friend! Thanks Jukebox, I hope this is the meeting you had in mind. I tried really hard to show the difference in Ki\'s views and Grey\'s, I hope they came out like I wanted. Anyway, on to the story!
Happy reading!
~~**~~
Grey was grinning like a Cheshire cat as he walked down the hall to greet the \'guests\'. His plan was perfect. Seeing as how he would be personal attendant to the Royal family\'s only heir, he was going to make sure that he told every nasty secret Demos had to hide. Then his reputation would be shattered and the king would deny him any further importance to the kingdom. With some of Demos\' secrets, he might even be banished or executed. Grey\'s walk soon became a jog as he heard the carriages pull up. Grey couldn\'t wait to see the Prince again. He knew that the man would never remember him, or the promise he made as a child, but Grey was still excited. He had heard that the Prince grew up to be devastatingly handsome and Grey wanted to see if the rumors were true. As he arrived in the reception hall were the king had arrived, he paused in his trek and gave a slight bow to show his respect. Demos glared at him.
\"You. Are. Late,\" Demos accused. \"You have kept His Majesty waiting almost ten minutes. Show him to the Garden where our tea is setup.\"
Grey hung his head in shame, pretending to be the good little slave Demos wanted him to be. \"Yes Master,\" he said quietly. \"Forgive my incompetence. I will show his majesty immediately.\" Grey bowed again to the king, and extended his arm in the direction there were heading. \"Right this way if you please, Your Majesty.\"
The king smiled. He liked this slave and thought that he might be a good match for his son. If not he could always use the company of another slave himself. He nodded his head toward Grey. \"Yes, let\'s head on.\" The king and Demos both followed Grey out to the Garden terrace where a table and tea sat awaiting them. Grey pulled out a chair for the king and bowed his head. The king tool his seat swiftly and Grey hurried to get the chair for Demos. Demos took his seat and shooed Grey away.
\"Wait for the Prince and his carriage to arrive at the door,\" Demos ordered. \"When they arrive show them here at once.\"
Grey bowed. \"At once Master,\" Grey said grinning. \"Anything to serve you.\"
Soon Grey was running down the hallways and around corners, hoping to get to the door before the Prince arrived. He skidded to a stop as he made it to the entrance and slowly peeked out the door. There was a carriage there and two men were heading up the stairs to the manor. Grey didn\'t have time to look at them because he quickly shut the peephole and waited for them to knock.
~^~
Ki and Darin made their way up the stairs. Ki paused at the first step and waited for Darin to knock. As they heard the knock echo through the hallways beyond the door, they heard footsteps approach. The door slowly opened and a figure greeted them. The person was bowed down, long silver hair falling in his face. Ki tapped his shoulder and the boy\'s head slowly rose his eyes meeting Ki\'s. Ki nearly fell backwards in shock. There, bowing before him, was his dream lover. He had come here hoping to find someone that looked like the boy from his dreams but not to actually find the boy himself. Ki opened his mouth to speak, but not a sound came out. His throat had gone dry and all he could do was gape in wonder at the person before him. Darin soon nudged his side and Ki managed to compose himself, sort of.
\"Hello, young servant,\" Ki managed weakly.
\"Hello sirs.\" Grey responded sweetly. \"May I ask your names?\"
Darin looked at Grey like he had just slapped him. \"Are you telling me you don\'t know who this is?!\" Darin cried out in shock.
\"No sir,\" Grey replied with a smile. \"As a slave I do not know of the world or people outside of this manor.\"
Ki sighed in relief, seeing as how he was worried that he wasn\'t a slave. But since he was that meant that he could ask Demos for this boy and Demos would have to say yes. \"I am Prince Ki, young one,\" Ki said, his posture and manor restored to their usual ways. Darin looked at Ki, then at Grey, then back at Ki. He shook his head and turned away.
\"Many pardons Your Highness,\" Grey said, a look of surprise on his face at the beauty his former friend had become. \"Your father and my Master eagerly await your arrival in the Garden. Please, come this way.\" With that Grey turned and escorted Ki and Darin to where he had left Demos and the King.
When they arrived Demos was fuming mad. As soon as he saw Grey he began ranting about how the tea was cold and the treats prepared had been pecked at by birds. Somehow he thought it was Grey\'s fault that Demos had tea prepared an hour before the King arrived. Ki looked at this harassment of the young slave and he grew angry. He stepped between Demos and Grey and crossed his arms over his chest.
\"How exactly are these problems his fault?\" Ki demanded. Demos shuddered at the power in his voice.
\"Well, I, uh,\" Demos stuttered.
\"That\'s exactly what I thought you were going to say,\" Ki said mockingly. Grey looked up at Ki and saw that Ki had turned to face him. He looked down into Grey\'s eyes and smiled softly. For a moment Grey thought that somewhere, even only in the back of his mind, Ki might actually remember him. Grey gave Ki a small smile in return and bowed his head.
\"Forgive my manners,\" Demos said quickly to the King. \"I have a lot of trouble with this slave. He doesn\'t like to listen.\"
\"He seems to listen fine to me,\" Ki interrupted. \"Besides…I like him.\"
That was all it took for the King to grin widely. He knew his son had chosen the slave he wanted and he approved whole heartedly. A slave that doesn\'t need to be tamed is boring. The king turned his head toward Demos. \"About our arrangement Demos, I think we have made our decision about your part.\" Demos paled. He thought that Grey\'s attitude would have offended the royals and that they wouldn\'t want him. But in fact it had done the opposite. Demos grimaced and nodded his head.
\"Grey,\" he called. \"Take His Highness to his room, you will keep him company during his stay.\"
Grey jumped up quickly and nodded. \"Yes Master, as you wish.\" Grey turned to the Prince and extended his arm. \"Right this way Your Highness. Your room is upstairs.\"
As they walked up the stairs Ki let his hand brush against Grey every chance he could. He would stop whenever Grey turned to look at him and smile sheepishly. \"So why does he call you Grey?\" Ki asked to break the silence.
Grey paused on his way up the stairs to look at Ki. \"It was the name I was given when I came here,\" Grey replied. \"He calls me that because of my hair. He refuses to call me silver because he said I would get a big head about sounding valuable.\" Grey huffed angrily. \"He\'s not a particularly nice person as you could tell from downstairs.\" Grey swiftly turned back around and began marching quickly up the stairway. Ki sighed and followed closely, but soon Grey tripped right into the Prince\'s arms. Ki smiled as his arms closed around Grey.
\"We can\'t have you getting hurt now can we?\" Ki asked jokingly.
Grey blushed furiously as he felt the strong arms around his chest and waist tighten. He looked up at the Prince and noticed that their faces were almost touching. \"Why can\'t I be hurt?\" Grey asked softly, a little frightened at Ki\'s advances.
\"Because you\'ll be my slave from now on,\" Ki stated matter-of-factly. Before Grey could react Ki leaned forward and captured his lips in a passionate kiss.
~~**~~
Well that\'s all for today. I wonder how I should make Grey react to the Prince\'s sudden advances…I\'ll have to think on that one. Well I hope you all liked it and want to see more. Please R&R and don\'t forget to add a little criticism to help me improve. Later!
