III (1/2)
"My name is Sehun." The man, now Sehun, lets his eyes wander over Luhan's face, who now has a blush across his cheeks.
"I'm not a princess." Luhan says defiantly, attempting again, successfully, to pry himself from his would-be rescuer. "I am able to take care of myself." At this, the other man raises an eyebrow and nods.
"Whatever you say Princess."
Luhan turns to the man, about to issue a challenge to prove, but quickly shuts his mouth as he remembers this weaponless state. A laugh is heard from Sehun as he begins to shuffle around the room. "So, you never answered me, Princess." He says. "Why are you here?"
"None of your business." Luhan tells him, blush still apparent on his cheeks. Sehun laughs slightly at it before shrugging, showing he didn't care if he got the answer or not, and this seems to rile Luhan even more. "You come here, threaten me, and then ask questions that you don't care about?" At the annoyance in the boy's voice, Sehun turns to look at him, slight shock evident in his eyes. "You know what, just leave. I've grown tired of your company." The brunette lays down on the bed, hands behind his head, legs crossed at the ankles.
Honestly, he didn't want this Sehun person to leave, it was nice to have someone to talk to, especially after having only himself for company for nearly two weeks. But something about this Sehun character left him off balance. He could tell he was being odd around him, but he didn't understand why. Not understanding left Luhan feeling uncomfortable around Sehun, though he didn't want to be. Conflicting emotions ran through Luhan's veins as he waited for the other man to leave, and prayed that he didn't. He almost lets out a yell, something to help get rid of these emotions, but he keeps his composure in front of the stranger.
Sehun doesn't leave though. Instead, he takes the chair at the window again, resting an elbow on his knee as he leans over and looks at Luhan. The boy under observation feels the gaze on him, but physically refuses to meet the mans eyes again. Sehun laughs at he look of determination in Luhan's face, and leans back in a more relaxed position.
"I'm not leaving until you do. I have a job to do, and I never leave a job unfinished." He says, a smirk playing across his face as he talks. "So whenever you wish to leave the beast that has you trapped here, let me know, and I'll rescue you from it Princess." Sarcasm laced Sehun's voice, and Luhan didn't miss the knowing look in Sehun's eyes, though he didn't even glance towards the man.
As a growl escapes the princes throat, he turns over leaving a "fuck you" for Sehun, with the plan of ignoring him until he left. Behind him he hears fabric rustle, and he tenses. He waits for Sehun to do something, like place a knife against his throat again, but it never comes. Instead, Luhan hears him open and close the door, signaling that Sehun had left. For a moment, Luhan didn't believe that Sehun had left, but as he listens, he hears nothing. No sign of life left in the room other than his own.
The fact that Sehun had given up so easily caused a frown on Luhan's face, but what had he expected? For the man to try and force or persuade Luhan to leave with him? Well, yes. In fact he did. But he wasn't really surprised when it didn't happen. Just disappointed. Maybe Sehun hadn't left for good. Maybe he had just left to get something to use as bribery.
"Damn it." Luhan says, his eyes closing as he fights off the disappointment rolling in his chest. He sighs slightly before turning over to lay on his other side, using the movement as an excuse to look around the room.
"Hi there."
Kneeling in front of the bed, and now face to face with a wide eyed Luhan, was Sehun. He was leaning close enough that Luhan could feel their breaths mingling. A deep blush makes it way onto the prince's cheeks, and Sehun just smiles, his eyes forming neat little resents.
"Miss me?" The smiling boy asks, holding his head up in his hands, elbows resting on the bed. His grin never leaves his face, even as Luhan makes his way off of the bed. Sehun's gaze follows the boy across the room, turning to face him when his eyes lose sight of him. "I'll accept the 'damn it' as an apologize for telling me to go away. Seemed like you didn't want me to actually leave." Sehun stands and closes the space between him and the prince easily, wrapping his fingers around Luhan's arms. He feels the boy tense up and a smirk plays across his lips. Leaning in, he whispers "Didn't I say I wouldn't leave without you Princess?"
Luhan tears himself from the other man's grip, a growl evident on his features. "Well, I'm not leaving with you." The brunette takes a step forward. "I'd rather leave by myself than have to traverse the land with you." For a moment, a serious look fills Sehun's eyes before another smile forces the look away. He shrugs and opens his mouth to speak, but a noise interrupts him.
