Eun-Ho Joong Eun-Ho sighed happily as he tugged his pajama pants up, tossing his clothes into the hamper. He was clean, now, and feeling much better. Once he was completely content with his appearance and all the blood was cleaned off, the dancer strut out to the bed, sitting on it and leaning against the pillows. " Bal? Are you ready for bed?" he called, fingers taking out his only piercing. " If you've come to gloat," groaned the brunette as he felt a presence in the room, " I beg you, don't hit me again. I think I'm bleeding internally. Eun-Ho?" The man struggled to lift his head up, only to be greeted by a grin and thump back down to the hard ground. " Oh great. It's you."

King Balthazar ________________________________________________
"Yes. Sorry, I was cleaning up." Balthazar said as he exited the restroom, assured that his mouth smelled of mints now. He wasn't dressed in, well, much really. Honestly, he was just dressed in his briefs. The sleeping clothes he had before this consisted of only Eun-Ho's shirt, and that would be silly and tight if he wore it now. His body wasn't filled with muscles like Eun-Ho, though he didn't seem self-conscious. There was a faint outline of abs on his stomach, and biceps that could easily be defined if he flexed, but all in all he was slim.
"What was that cry earlier?" he asked as he got onto the bed besides his beautiful beloved.
"That's a rather fitting look for you." Heinrich said snidely, making it clear how much he enjoyed seeing Haneul in this state. Before anything could be fired back, he left the room. He returned shortly after with a frozen bag of peas in one hand. The first-aid kit in his other, he walked towards the wounded man and crouched down besides him, unceremoniously dropping the peas onto the star's eyes.

Eun-Ho JoongHaving brushed his teeth while cleaning himself up, the younger male himself smelled of soap and minty freshness, a scent he was met with as his new lover entered the bed. He glanced at the body of the tall king, blood shooting towards his groin at the handsome man who, for some reason, loved him. Nerves suddenly shooting through him, he bowed his head and stared at his lap, licking his lips as his cheeks ran beet red. " Oh, I was beating up Haneul so Heinrich would have to take care of him," he answered, index fingers pressing together. " That way, he won't come in here anytime soon." He chanced another glance to the king, making a tiny noise and looking back down. How could one man be so attractive?! Haneul cried out as the frozen peas hit his face, pain shooting through his bones and jolting his feet and arms. " What the hell?!" was his muffled outburst, although he knew it was entirely founded. Still though, did he have to be kicked while he was down? " Look, I know I was a jerk, but was that necessary?" he whined, keeping the vegetables on his eyes.

King Balthazar ________________________________________________
Balthazar was thinking the same thing. Although Eun-Ho was built more than him, he had a smaller body with complimenting curves. His hair was so golden, it was sunlight even in the darkest room. Sometimes the king found it hard to realize that someone so breathtakingly gorgeous could actually exist. "You... beat him up?" he chuckled at the thought. If only he were there to add a frog to the equation. "I suppose that's one way of solving the problem. Well done." He looked to his lover. "You didn't hurt your knuckles, did you?"
"Yes." Heinrich answered without hesitation. Even if Haneul couldn't see the smirk on his face, he would definitely be able to hear the snickers he had coming out of his mouth. Deciding that he was done adding insult to injury, Heinrich reached out and gently moved the bag of peas to one eye, making the other and the nose visible to him. "He really did a number on you, didn't he?" the butler mused as he wiped the blood off of the star's nose.

Eun-Ho Joong" Naw, he's got a ridiculously light bone structure," was his cool reply, although he instantly turned red again and bit his lip. " B-but I guess it hurt... ya know, a little." He held up his hand, carefully touching the reddened knuckles. One blue eye slowly opened, looking up at the butler with a surprisingly soft gleam. " I deserved it," he said quietly, cracked lips hurting with every word. " I really am sorry, Heinrich. I shouldn't have said something so terrible to you after you worked so hard, especially in a kitchen like that. You did much better than I could ever do in that situation, and I should have praised you instead of ridiculing you." He raised one hand with a footprint on it to touch the butler's arm. " I'm sorry I was such a ba-tard."

"In that case..." Balthazar took Eun-Ho's hand into his own and brought it to his mouth, where he lovingly pressed his lips against the knuckles. "There. Do you feel better?" he whispered against the star's hand.
The butler stiffened when he felt the hand against his arm. He almost slapped it away but managed to stop himself. There was no point in further harming the male. "... Apology accepted." Heinrich sighed. "I suppose my tantrum was caused more because I didn't like hearing the truth. My food was less dazzling than it could've been, even with the factors I had to deal with." he said as he sat his fingers on the bridge of Haneul's nose. "Brace yourself." he warned then instantly forced the broken cartilage back into place. Once the nose was better, he set a band-aid over it gingerly.

Eun-Ho JoongEun-Ho swallowed the lump in his throat once more, his stomach tightening in anticipation. " ... Can you kiss me more places?" he whispered in response, a single spot on his pants darkening as it rose. " Brace myself for wha- AHH!" His scream diminished into a whimper, tears running from his eyes and darkening the carpet beneath him. His nails were somehow unembedded from his palm, the half-moons rising in blood. The tears finally stopped running, lower lip still trembling. " W-will I still b-be handsome, Doc?" he attempted to jokingly ask.

King Balthazar ________________________________________________
Balthazar's eyes flickered down just for a second, a natural glance away from the radiant face, and did a double-take of what was happening to Eun-Ho's lower region. He... It took a while for the king to realize that he was staring, and with a shake of his head he looked back at his beloved's face while chuckling at him. "Just a kiss on your hand did that? I'm flattered." he said and leaned forward to kiss him on the lips.
Heinrich tried to ignore the whimper he had caused and continued smoothing the band-aid over Haneul's nose. Making the star cry wasn't as satisfying as he thought, now that he had actually done it, and even if it was for his own good. When asked the question, the butler had moved one hand to Haneul's cheek and gingerly wiped away the tears. He took that time to look at the man's face and assess his question. It proved to be difficult. "... You've at least got your charm." he dodged with an apologetic smile. After the face was cleaned, Heinrich leaned away and held onto one of the brunette's hands, wrapping the cuts on it before moving tot he next.

Eun-Ho Joong" Well, it's you," he murmured in reply, almost exploding in an eruption of butterflies when he was kissed. Bal had spent so long as a frog, how was he so completely perfect at kissing? Did he have practice? Was he lying about that part? Eun-Ho tried not to care about it, but the thoughts kept making it hard to concentrate. Still, at least those gentle lips were enough to keep him ready and willing. He pressed closer, already wanting more from the kiss. Haneul's heart swelled at the ginger touch of the butler, although it fell into pieces when his question was answered. " There goes my career," he moaned sadly, although it wasn't as bad as he treated it. He'd recovered from worse. All it took was a visit to a special doctor and he was as good as new. Still though, he would like to be treated by Heinrich this tenderly for a while longer. Once the butler had moved on to his other hand, Haneul took a moment to touch those soft fingers, smiling a little. " I read A Tale of Two Cities," he informed the other male.

King Balthazar ________________________________________________
((I'll send the PM soon))
Heinrich rubbed a cloth damped with alcohol on the cuts to clean them. They were small and most likely didn't need it, but the butler never was one to take even the smallest of chances at this kind of thing. He held the star's hand when he reacted to the burning cleanse, then finished wrapping it up.
When reminded about his favorite book, the butler glanced over at Haneul's face. "Already?" he asked, impressed. It had only been half a day since they met, right? Where did this man find the time for that. "Did you enjoy it?" he asked.

Haneul Kim " I didn't really understand it," he answered, not giving much mind to the time it took to read it. It wasn't the lengthiest book he'd inhaled so greedily, and he'd certainly had nothing better to do while he waited for Eun-Ho earlier. " Why did Sydney give his life for Charles'?" His eyes remained on the brunette tending to him, ignoring the headache he was still suffering through. It was worth enduring if he could stay close to this angel of mercy.

Haneul KimThe Korean immediately set to work maneuvering his body so that his head was int he butler's lap, smiling internally at his achievement. His gaze returned to Heinrich, as strangely tender as before. " Guess you're right. I would do absolutely anything to make the one I loved happy, even if it meant my death. But maybe I'm just a romantic." He reached up to move a pieace of Heinrich's hair from his face, careful not to let their skin touch as his hand moved slowly back down. Blushing, the dancer quickly moved his gaze to his trunk. " Have you ever read Utopia by Sir Thomas More? It's not as much a stunning prose as A Tale of Two Cities, but it's very effective." He stared at the ceiling, squinting a little as he tried to remember a certain part. " 'For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.'" He halted his recitation, finally looking back to Heinrich. " What do you think he means for those who rule over such people?"

Giving his life for someone was something he understood completely. Everyday he served the king he was ready to sacrifice himself for the king's well-being. Then again, he wasn't doing it for the sake of love. He'd like to picture himself dying for someone he loved, or just having someone he loved in general, but that seemed like too distant a thought. Part of him - the part that hated being touched - wanted to slap Haneul's hand away when he brushed some hair away from his face. He almost did, too, but stopped himself. Just let the man have his moments while resting, he reasoned. When asked about the other book, Heinrich tilted his head thoughtfully. " I don't believe I've read it." he confessed, though now he was interested in it. He closed his eyes when recited part of the book and took a moment to consider his words. " It sounds ironic." he mused, opening his eyes to look back at the star. " That person you were quoting was saying that the ruler wouldn't give his people education, to which they would only know how to do crimes to support themselves, and the ruler would arrest them. A downward spiral." Suddenly, Heinrich beamed. " If you are trying to say that His Majesty will be a bad king then you will be sorely mistaken! He's already got a good sense of justice and overfilling kindness!" `•.¸¸.••´´¯``•• .¸¸.•´`•.¸¸.••´´¯``•• .¸¸.•´`•.¸¸.••´´¯``•• .¸¸.•´`•.¸¸.••´´¯``•• .¸¸.•´

Haneul KimWith a sigh and a growing headache, the young adult shook his head painfully, closing his eyes in a tired attempt to quell the worsening throbbing in his head. " Not everything is about Bal, Heinrich," he muttered quietly, keeping his eyes closed as he spoke. " What More means is that the ruler believes his people to be ignorant because they just are, not because of singular education. He blames their stupidity on themselves, ignoring that it is most likely his fault that there are thieves and beggars in the kingdom. It's a metaphor for sinners and an allusion to Machiavelli's The Prince." It was nice to speak to someone intelligent for once, but Haneul couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the butler's dedication to his king. The man was most likely bonking Eun-Ho right then and there! Couldn't he forget his adoration for the man for once and focus on someone who wanted to talk to him about things other than dinner and napkins. Attempting to ease his irritation, the brunette's hand reached for his own hair, touching a tiny braid just behind his ear that lead into his ponytail. " Are you going to give Eun-Ho the same dedication after he marries Bal?" he asked absently.
