Brothers Reunited And...?!? Part 2
Zero started to tear up purple tears streamed down his cheek bones, his voice became shaky "P-Papy..?" Akarui's eye lights shrunk and wobbled in place, recognizing his brothers voice immediately "..Bro?" Zero stood up "I-it's me Papy.. I know I look different now but..I-" Before he could finish his sentence the tall skeleton scooped Zero up into his arms with ease and fell to his knees with him in his arms letting out a cry. Pink tears trickled down his face burying it into Zero's shoulder, holding onto the back of his skull as he repeated "I'm SORRY! I'm sorry little bro! I'm so sorry!" Zero clutched onto him as if he would disappear crying out in a shaky voice "It wasn't your fault Papy! It really wasn't! You didn't know what would happen!" Akarui sobbed into his shoulder rocking him back and forth clutching him tighter "I left my little bro to fend for himself! I could hear your cries of pain and agony, bones breaking, all of it! Father hurt you every day! You did all that for ME!! You stupid stupid skeleton!"
Tumblr media
Zero sobbed as he shut his eye sockets tightly. His soul pulsated, but instead of his soul slowly breaking in pain, Akarui's soul pulsated in response, their magic stabilizing each other since Akarui had half of Zero's original soul attached "I don't fucking care anymore, you were worth it Papy..H-he's gone, I DUSTED him brother! D-don't hate me for it please!" Akarui rocked him back and forth shushing him "Shh shh if you don't fucking care I don't fucking care little bro...You come first."
Obscure was stunned at all the information he heard, but stepped away a bit to let the brothers reunite in peace. He was happy Zero was finally reunited with his older brother, he couldn't keep the smile off his jaw, glad he was able to do this for him.
After awhile of talking, Zero explained to Akarui the short version of what happened. Akarui nodded, he knew they had a lot of catching up to do, but now was not the time. When they had both stopped crying, Zero snapped his fingers. Now Akarui was wearing a sweater, shorts, along with his glasses. Giving his new threads a nod of approval, he picked up Zero and carried him over to Obscure "Yo, sooo you're the one that gave me a brand spanking new body?" He spoke in a lazy and mellow tone.
Obscure pulled up his hood looking down and gave a slight nod. "Yeah.." He said softly. He looked back up looking at the two brothers. "Um, we need to get going here soon.."
"First off, thank you. My lil bro and I are in your debt, thank you for taking care of him." Akarui gave a grateful smile then nodded "Yeah, he caught me up a bit let's go, nyeh heh. Also keep your hands to yourself while around me." He set Zero down wrapping his arms around his shoulders from behind giving Obscure a pointed look "Got it edgy boyfriend of his?" Zero sputtered embarrassed "Papy be nice!" The younger brother rolled his eye lights flushed then he cleared his throat. "Let's go Obscure." He wrote out multiple kanji and castes the same spells as earlier over himself and his brother, keeping them both hidden. Akarui was surprised at the new type of magic, but soon had the eyes of a doting proud sibling.
Obscure nodded nervously and closed his eyes allowing the black to vanish. Within moments they were back in the med bay...
and they were not alone.
Nightmare had been waiting for them and quickly coiled a tentacle around Obscure. Obscure grunted in pain as Nightmare made his grip tighter, nearly crushing him. He addressed the seemingly empty room with a sick grin. "Did you have a good time? A little birdy told me you have been up to no good!" Nightmare waved a phone, in the text box it read 'Message from Saide'.
Zero tried to reach out to stop him, but Akarui blocked him with his arm. Zero looked at the phone and once he saw text that was written his eye light turned red.
Tumblr media
Nightmare gave a nasty smile "I'll make this simple. You go back home, and Obscure here gets to keep his life and we pretend this never happened. Got it? 5...4...."
Zero knew he was talking to them and they had been ratted out. He snapped his fingers revealing only himself keeping his brother hidden. Zero's heart eye light was flaring red but soon turned blue "Stop! I'll leave don't kill him!"
"Then get going." Nightmare hissed. Obscure looked at Zero and gave a smile, hoping to look reassuring "I-I'll be fine...I promise..!"
Zero looked hurt seeing Obscure in pain, but he nodded in his direction "I love you" he stepped back with a palm over his brother. Raising his hand he snapped his fingers teleporting them back into Zero's room. Zero's heart eye light flared red as magic seeped out of his eye socket. Snarling he stormed out of his room, slamming the door open looking down into the living room. He growled while his hate kanji pulsed as his eyes landed on Saide. He yelled out in an angry tone for the first time "Sadie!!!"
Saide and Bass snorted awake at the yelling and she looked around confused. "wasswrong.." She mumbled rubbing her eyes. Bass groaned and gave a few beeps and tapped his speaker "Ugh...wha time issit.." He grumbled.
Tumblr media
Zero stomped down the stairs and grabbed her by the front of her shirt lifting her from the chair. "You think you can just play with Obscure's life like that?! Why did you fucking rat him out!? I thought you cared for your creations, do we mean so little to you!?" He growled as Akarui rushed down stairs grabbing Zero by the arms pulling him away from her as she dropped to the floor. "BRO stop!" Akarui's left eye light was also red, he could feel his brother's emotions now as he thrashed in his arms. The yelling woke Zayne and Smol as they rushed out of Akarui's old room "Zero what the fu--" he stood there stunned staring down at Akarui. Smol Chan ran out and gasped cupping her mouth in shock once she saw Akarui as well.
Saide gasped in fear as Zero shook her and dropped to the ground looking at him hurt and confused. "Zero what the hell?!" She yelled standing up. Bass quickly got in between her and Zero protecting her "Easy brah, explain whats got ya actin so wack." Bass looked at the other skeleton confused. "Eh?"
Zayne fell to his knees still stunned "...That's Zero's brother, back from the fucking dead.." Smol chan placed a hand on Zayne's shoulder rubbing his back looking down at them. Akarui looked confused by everyone else, but shook his head pulling Zero further back "BRO calm down!" He forced Zero onto his back sitting on top of him holding him down by his wrists. Zero grunted and kicked trying to get out of his hold, but Akarui was too strong. He growled clenching his fists looking up at Saide glaring "You told Nightmare where I was and where we went with Obscure!! You texted him and now Obscure is in danger!"
Saide and Bass looked at him stunned and confused, but shaking her head Saide snapped out of it first "What the fuck are you talking about?! I was sleeping the whole time! I didn't even know you left!" She yelled back glaring. Smol Chan added in "Zero she was here the entire time, I could hear her snoring from upstairs! She's not lying!" Zero scoffed at Smol Chan "Tch! And what secrets are you hiding old creator!? Let me guess, you two worked together and Nightmare just randomly received a text message from another Saide!?" Smol Chan looked hurt as her little ears lowered. "I'm not the creator anymore.." Akarui sighed "I didn't want to do this bro but-" He pressed two fingers on the side of Zero's neck causing him to immediately fall asleep under Akarui and his arms and legs went limp.
Saide held her stomach as it started to hurt from the anxiety she was feeling from this mess "I didn't do anything..I swear" Bass hugged her as she started to cry. Bass looked over at Zero worried "He's not hurt...right?" He asked softly.
Akarui picked his brother up and set him on the couch "Nah he's okay, he always had a bad temper and trouble sleeping. One day I found out he had a very sensitive spot on his neck and if you pressed down hard enough he'll go right to sleep." He leaned in and kissed Zero on the forehead he turned to Saide, his red eye light turned blue as a sign Zero was feeling sadness, the other stayed pink "Is she okay? I can explain what happened and what we saw?" Meanwhile, at the top of the stairs Zayne was clutching Smol Chan in his arms as she cried quietly. He looked down at Zero giving a soft scoff "Puh idiot.."
"She's hurt, and will be hella mad later...but I think an explanation will be helpful..." Bass frowned worried. "What was with that creator stuff, I never heard him talk like that before..."
Akarui nodded in response and moved to sit closer to the pair. As he walked over to sit on the glass coffee table, he noticed his eye light in the reflection, not expecting the color change. He stared at it strangely before shrugging and laying across it staring up at them upside down resting his hands behind his head winking "Kay, first off my name's Akarui nyeh heh I'm Zero's older brother back from the dead with the help of my bro and his edgy boyfriend. I woke up in a dark place." He waved at them "I think he's been telling Zero stuff about how creators shouldn't be trusted, dunno, my bro gave me the short version of it. Still weird he changed his name, but he's still adorable. Anyway, next thing we know we're in a medical room and on the cell phone from a tentacle. hentai looking monster the receiver read "Saide". Think that's what caused his cute tantrum, next thing I know, boom we're back home." He held out his arms and legs as if presenting the end of his story. From upstairs Zayne groaned "Too much thinking, I'm gonna keep Smol in my AU for awhile till thing's settle down." He looked down at her to check if that was what she wanted and she nodded. Taking out her miniverse gun she opened a portal allowing Zayne and Smol to walk through.
"Laters Zayne.." Bass called out softly. "Man...Well, first of all, welcome back to da world of the livin dog. I'm Bass. Zeros Edgy boyfriend number two, his other boyfriend Mist and I all belong to Saide here." Bass introduced. Saide collected herself and wiped her face "I didn't text anyone.." She said softly. "Also, its nice to meet you.." She added quickly not forgetting her manners.
Akarui's eye sockets went blank at Bass's comment "How many boyfriends does he have?!" He rolled over and clutched at Zero's limp form protectively "Don't worry bro, I won't let the hungry beasts take your innocence, nyeh heh heh!" He rubbed his cheek to Zero's "Keep yer mitts to yourself Bass I can steal my bro's heart back from you in a second." He clicked his tongue and finger gunned him smiling before setting Zero back down. He stretched his arms out and sat properly on the couch "This body feels weird, but it's good to be back! Pleased to meet cha fellow weeblets, I dig the speaker Bass I love music, and you too sweetheart~" he blew Saide a kiss before sitting on Zero crossing one leg over the other lazily resting his arms on the couch settling over him "Sorry bout him sweetie, I believe you, do you know anyone else named Saide baby maybe?" He rhymed to make the sentence exciting as he grinned.
Tumblr media
"Ha! first of all, I am not dating Zero, My boo is a skeleton snake." Bass laughed. "Second, if you like music then you're a skeleton of good taste." Bass shot finger guns back at him grinning. Saide Blushed a bit at the flirty comment and sadly shook her head. "I really don't know..and unless I prove it... Zero will never believe me.."
((Hnng sorry this took a little more than 2 hours xD I wanted to add in a few scenes, the first half can be found here @mistrealm ))

The New King ♔ dks
Chapter Four
Tumblr media
- kyungsoo x reader, royalty AU, prince!kyungsoo
- warnings : swearing, mature content, arranged marriage, good looking men
- word count : 3,080
chapter three or chapter five or masterlist
♔ ♔ ♔ ♔ ♔
The princess held onto Sehun's hand loosely as they made their way towards the fitness hall, where they were going to be participating in some archery. Sehun's friends trailed behind them closely, all chattering away excitedly about the sport. The princess was excited herself. She had grown up learning all about archery, since her father claimed it was only logical that he taught her in case she ever needed to fend for herself in the wild. She hadn't so far, and perhaps she never would have to, but she had grown to be excellent at the sport.
She was so used to be included in things the rest of the world deemed too masculine for women that she was genuinely surprised when the group of men excluded her from their fun after their arrival. She watched all of them ready up to enjoy themselves while she stood off to the side. They smiled and laughed with one another, all selecting the finest bows she had ever seen in her life. The frown on her face could not be hidden, no matter how much she tried to hide it.
"The princess seems sad today. What have you done now, Sehun?" Baekhyun spoke to his friend loudly, making sure that the princess heard every word. She continued to look in a different direction and pretended she had not heard a single one. Sehun glanced up at his future wife and a frown of his own formed on his face.
"Nothing. I'm not sure what's wrong with her," Sehun remarked. Kyungsoo handed his brother his bow but didn't join in on the conversation. He was curious as to what had upset the princess himself, but it wasn't the place or time to make such a fuss. The men continued on with their activities, taking turns releasing their arrows from their bows. The princess was impressed with their abilities but she knew she could do better.
"Do you want to learn how to shoot a bow?" Sehun during the boys' snack break. They all looked at her while they ate on their sandwiches. She wanted to laugh at his question, knowing good and well that she already knew how to shoot a bow.
"Are you saying I have permission to use the bow?" She answered with a question of her own. Prince Sehun held up his bow to her as an offering and she could not have moved quicker to take it from his hold. She felt as if she had been given water after being dehydrated for months. The group boys started to chat amongst themselves loudly as they watched the princess pick up an arrow. She stood where the prince had stood only minutes before, copied his posture, and pulled the string of the bow back without any complications. Suddenly, the loud volume behind her came to a halt. There was only silence as she readied her arrow.
A moment later, the arrow was released from its hold. It soared through the air in one smooth movement before it buried itself in the center of the target the boys had been using. She couldn't keep the corner of her lips from lifting into a victorious smirk. The boys behind her erupted in a sudden chaos.
"Did you just see that?"
"She shoots better than Jongin does!"
"Jongin? She shoots better than all of us combined!"
"Speak for yourself Baekhyun. You suck at archery."
"Yah! You want to make it personal do you?"
She turned on her heels and walked back over to the group, where she handed Prince Sehun his bow without another word. He sat with wide eyes and parted lips. She was surprised when he began to laugh with disbelief.
"Where did you learn that?" He asked her.
"My father taught me," she confessed. If her mother seen her now she would have a stroke immediately. It felt nice to be able to show off her skills to someone that wasn't her father.
"He should give Baekhyun lessons," Jongdae joked as he wrapped his arms around the man's shoulders. Baekhyun didn't even disagree - he only nodded as he took another bite from his sandwich.
"He left to return home this morning," The princess told the group of friends. She already missed her father and his honey-like eyes.
"Your father shouldn't allow you to participate in a man's game," Sehun told her. From his tone, he hadn't intended for his words to have such a venomous bite to them but they did. The princess felt her heartbeat skip as anger began to seep through her veins and circulate to her heart. She looked at him with raised eyebrows and every man near them took a step backwards. Even Kyungsoo, the man in which she feared had become frightened for his brother.
"Why? Is it because I do it better than you or is it because you can't do it as well as I can?" She retorted. Prince Sehun scoffed.
"Better than me? That was a luck shot. No woman in this universe would be able to shoot a shot like that more than once," he continued on. She narrowed her eyes at the man, and tried to remember the last time she had been so angry. The only person to ever get her this riled up was her mother. She was so sick of living in a world where people found women inferior to men. Without another word, she picked the bow back up and returned back to her place in front of the target. A few minutes later, she had shot three arrows into the center of the target. She turned to look at the prince with a scowl. He was staring at her as if she had just kicked his puppy.
To drive her point home, she picked up one last arrow. She aimed it at his head, to which he jumped up from his seat quickly. She released it, moving the bow at the last minute so the arrow would land where he had just been sitting. He gaped at her in disbelief while his friends cackled at the sharp gasp he had released at the moment the arrow had flown in his direction. They began to applaud for the princess as she neared them. She paused in front of Sehun before she shoved his bow into his chest. His hands grabbed at its wooden frame just as she let it drop from her hold.
"You should be careful when speaking in such a way to women. Not all of us go along with men's idiotic views of us," she told him. It was the last thing she said before she left the group of men standing with their half eaten sandwiches and wide eyes.
"That girl," Sehun hissed under his breath.
"Yah, if you don't marry her I will," Baekhyun told Sehun as he wrapped an arm around the man's shoulders.
"I've never seen the princess so angry before," Jongin commented as he turned to look at Kyungsoo. The prince looked away from the princess's retreating figure and up at his friend. He agreed quietly and watched as Jongin shook his head in disbelief.
With her father gone and no friends to run to, the princess found herself deciding between two places to run to for comfort: her chambers or the stables. Ever since her trip to the village, Prince Kyungsoo's horse had been a thought stuck in the back of her mind. She wished she was able to ride Striker throughout the entire kingdom. If she focus hard enough, she could almost feel the air blowing in her hair already. It had been such a long time since she had been able to feel as free as she did when she rode liberally on horseback.
Her mind told her to hide away in her chambers because it was only logical, but the adventurer in her heart was screaming to go to the stables. She navigated through the castle until she was met with the warm air outside once more. Guards were scattered throughout the area but she was not concerned with them. She had a goal today.
The stables weren't busy today. Horses ran freely in their fenced in areas and the princess was so awestruck by the sight that she had to stop and observe. She laid her arms against the top of the fence and rested her head against the soft skin of her arms as she watched the beautiful creatures enjoy themselves. When she found Striker hanging out near the far end of the pen she couldn't help but raise her head to look at him. She clicked her tongue loudly, hoping to gain his attention. Just when she thought he hadn't noticed her, he began to gallop in her direction. A wide grin formed on her face and for the second time that day she felt victorious.
The horse neared her but did not fully approach her. He was somewhat shy, despite his obvious boastful nature. He raised his head highly as if taunting the other horses with how beautiful he was. She laughed and stuck her hand out at him. Still, he kept his distance from her. She called out his name lowly and in a loving way soon after. It was like the princess had attached a pair of magnets on her and the creature. He came to her instantly, allowing her to pet his snout tenderly. She shared compliments in the form of a soft whisper as she did so, already forgetting the events from earlier.
The princess was so focused on the horse that she hadn't heard the footsteps approaching her from behind. It didn't help that the footsteps were quiet, even against the gravel covered ground beneath them. Prince Kyungsoo did not speak as he came to stand next to the princess's side. Instead, he found himself reaching out to pet the horse lovingly. The princess glanced over at him and sighed softly once she realized it was him.
"Did you know I would be here?" She questioned quietly.
"No. I came to visit Striker. I can't say I'm surprised to find you here, though," he admitted to her. Her face contoured into confusion at the admission.
"Why?" She couldn't help but ask.
"I seem to find you in all of my favorite places. Are you stalking me, Princess?" He told her with a hint of teasing in his voice.
"The idea of stalking you hadn't popped up into my head yet, but now that you've mentioned it I can't say it's a bad idea," she replied to him.
"Why's that?" He wondered aloud.
"Your the only person in this entire kingdom that hasn't given me a complete headache yet," she told him. He laughed an airy laugh, as if he weren't completely convinced it was the truth, and let his head drop slightly.
"My brother doesn't mean to hurt your feelings. He was brought up to believe the things he does," The prince tried to defend his brother after a brief session of silence. The princess looked away from him and back at the horse in front of them.
"Then you must believe the same things," she commented with a dry mouth.
"No," The prince denied. She looked back over at him curiously, as if she would see a sign on his face that would scream I'm a liar. When she didn't find one she felt her heartbeat quicken. His stare was as intense as ever and the thought of him viewing her as a woman who wasn't just a pretty face or a helpless maid had her feeling a way she had never felt about a man before. Oh, how easy it would have been if they universe had given her him and not his brother. It was like a wave of confidence washed over her now that she knew the prince looked at her as an equal.
"I'm going to go somewhere. Would you like to join me?" The prince spoke before she could. She was thankful, as she wasn't sure what would roll off of her tongue in that moment.
In less than ten minutes, Kyungsoo had gotten Striker ready for a ride and had turned to the princess to help her climb on. She waited for her to join, surprised when he settled behind her instead of in front of her. He handed her the reins and didn't say a word about it. He didn't have to. She understood everything from the way he had looked into her eyes. He patiently told the princess what direction to ride in and she listened. That feeling of freedom that she had craved earlier had washed over her entire body in the span of just a few minutes. Though her hair was tied up and could not blow in the wind as she had pictured it, she did feel the warm glow of the sun hitting her exposed skin. Kyungsoo leaned back as he felt the cool summer breeze brush across his face, and he knew that this was a memory he would never forget. He could hear the sound of the princess laughing freely for the first time since he had met her and it paired so perfectly with the sound of the birds hiding away in the treetops as they rode through the woods.
They eventually arrived at their destination. Kyungsoo helped the princess climb down from the back of Striker. She thanked him quietly but did not look at him - she was far too interested in the sight before her. The prince had brought her to a natural spring, that resembled a small, raging waterfall. It led to a small pool of water that looked far too inviting as they stood under the rays of the sun.
"This place is beautiful. How did you find it?" The princess spoke in a dreamy tone as she asked the question.
"My brother has a tendency to upset people, I suppose. I come here when I need to clear my head," he explained to her. He watched as she approached the small pool of water with fast footsteps. She raised the ends of her gown as she stuck her toes in the water. It felt perfectly cool against her warm skin. Without a second thought, she let down her hair and shrugged off her gown. Kyungsoo's eyes widened as he watched and wondered if his face was as flushed as he imagined it to be. The princess climbed into the water once she was left in nothing but her undergarments, which consisted of underwear and a thin, white gown. She ducked underneath the surface of the water and emerged a few seconds later, screaming out in delight as she pushed her hair out of her face.
"Join me!" She called out to the prince.
"Princess, I don't-"
"My name is Grace. Call me by my name when we are alone."
"That's pushing boundaries."
"It doesn't have to be."
The two stared at each other without speaking for a moment. Kyungsoo's heartbeat had never raced like this before. He had brought the princess here to convince her to forgive his brother, or so he had convinced himself that's why he had, but he wasn't so sure he could do that now. All his life it had been Sehun who had gotten everything he wanted and Kyungsoo had finally found something that he refused to let his brother have. With that thought in mind, he began to shrug off his royal garmets one by one. His skin felt on fire under the burning stare of the princess but he continued his actions.
The princess admired him from her spot in the water. His skin was the shade of the sweetest caramel and it glowed beautiful as the sun shone down on the man. The way he looked at her would intimidate anyone else, but she felt almost comforted by the sight. He joined her in the water with footsteps that seemed too drawn out for her liking. His face reveal how deeply he enjoyed the feeling of the cool water tickling at all inches of his skin.
"My mother would murder me if she found us out here," The princess whispered quietly, needing to say something.
"My father wouldn't approve of me being in this situation with my brother's fiancée," Kyungsoo replied lowly. It was wrong. Everything about it was wrong. Why was it so right, though? The princess felt similar to the prince, but as she swam closer to him all the thoughts in her mind were slowly vanishing. She wrapped her legs around his waist once she was close enough to him and brought her arms to rest around his neck. He watched her closely, not knowing what her next move would be. He never did.
She stared at him for a moment before she leaned forward and pressed her lips against his own plump, heart shaped lips. He was frozen for a second, not responding to the kiss. She went to pull away and her body already glowed with embarrassment. Kyungsoo lifted his hand and rested it against the back of her head before he connected their lips again. This time was far better than the first. The kiss was slow and dripping with so much passion that she could feel it crawling up her spine. The prince surprised her when he let his tongue dart across her bottom lip, and she couldn't resist allowing him to taste her. She knew, as she kissed the prince back feverishly, that there was no chance that she would ever be able to love the eldest prince. She was putty in Prince Kyungsoo's hands.
When they parted, they were panting slightly as if they had just finished a game of tag. Their eyes were locked, both not knowing if they could look away. A small smile formed on the princess's face and before she knew it she was throwing her head back with joyful laughter. Prince Kyungsoo smiled widely at the sound.
"Lets never return back to the kingdom," she suggested once her laughter had faded away.
"We'll run," he told her in a gentle tone. All smiles and laughter were gone. She let one of her hands rest against the side of his face, her thumb running over the skin of his round cheek softly. There was a sad expression on her face.
"We can't."
a/n : hi!! just wanted to pop in and say thank you to everyone that has been reading my story! i’m actually quite shy when it comes to sharing my works and this is the first time i’ve actually published anything so i hope everyone enjoys it! i also wanted to clarify that i don’t think Sehun would ever make comments such as the ones made in this chapter or even believe in any of that - but it’s fiction and i feel that in this time setting and au he would definitely use these kind of common beliefs to get under the princess’s skin. point is : Sehun is a sweetheart (or as sweet as an Aries can get, haha)
