 King Balthazar________________________________________________Bal grit his teeth as Eun-Ho dragged him around, blissfully unaware of what had happened. The fact that the star was so clueless about it and said such flustering things made the king even more irritable. He wanted to yank his arm away and to yell for Eun-Ho to just leave him alone, but the older-looking man's mind was too narrow at the moment to even give him a chance to speak. Before he knew it, the king found himself standing in a large enough room with a shirtless Eun-Ho handing him his shirt. The boy glowered at the cloth offered to him. His forehead burned with the kiss that served as a painful reminder that it could never go lower. This room felt like a prison. He'd find himself sleeping alone for a while. Alone, something he was sure he'd have to get used to. Sighing slowly through his nose, the defeated king numbly took the shirt and set it on the side of the bed. He wasn't exactly sure what to do with it, but it would have been silly to wear two shirts to bed, so he removed his own. His body had nothing to offer, especially when compared to Eun-Ho. His body was, after all, that of a mere child's, and was as slim as a pole. The bigger shirt slid on easily, reaching to his knees. It was comfy, and it reeked of Eun-Ho's nice cologne. Bal hated it. ________________________________________________

Eun-Ho Joong Eun-Ho stood in the doorway in silence as the Frog King went to the bed, watching him change. The boy's body was just that, the body of a young teenage boy, with a slender build and smooth skin. The elder-looking blonde found himself appreciating the curve of the skin over the boy's bones, how the slim hips were so artfully hidden by his usual clothes, and even how adorable the King look in that shirt that fit so snugly on himself. When it finally occurred to him what he was doing, Eun-Ho exited the room quietly, shutting the door and silently as he could and rushing into the room where Haneul was. The brunette sat on the bed, texting Ellery of the change in plans, and looked up in amusement to see his nervous and tight-pantsed friend. " What's up with the angle on your dangle, babo?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Eun-Ho covered his red face, sitting on a chair and groaning. " He's so damn cute, Haneul!" whined the pop star. " It took everything in me not to tackle him to the bed! I've never felt like this before! Well, once, but that's been going south for a long time." " What, you mean your little crush on that detective?" Haneul stood, hands on his hips. " You should keep pursuing that guy, instead of that kid. Just think about it. If you ever kiss him in public, you'll get written up for *****. At least if you kiss the detective in public, people will only be disgusted by your homosexuality." He walked over, to set his hand on his friend's shoulder. " Come on, Eun-Ho. Be serious. You can't be with the kid. You'll only end up hurting yourself. Now get changed for bed." " You're right, Haneul. You're always right." The miserable man stood and grabbed a pair of pajamas, changing into a pair of striped pajama pants and leaving his shirt off. He then left the room, allowing Haneul to believe that he was going to the couch. He wasn't. The tall blonde stopped in front of the king's bedroom, opening the door with a forced smile. " Hey, I'm here. Are you asleep already?"

King Balthazar________________________________________________Balthazar had found himself at an impasse. It felt silly to wear pants to bed, pants like these, but it would feel even sillier to be in nothing but Eun-Ho's shirt as he slept. The king stared hard at the sheets over the bed. They were thick, promising warmth to anyone beneath it. He looked to his side, almost surprised to see that Eun-Ho had left. Left to spend time with Haneul, no doubt. Pursing his lips, Bal pulled his pants off - at least the shirt could cover his pride, even if he had briefs on. He neatly folded them and his old shirt and set them at the base of the bed. Clinging his toy preciously, he climbed onto the bed and curled up beneath the blanket, glad he had removed the pants. His back to the door, he closed his eyes to sleep off his sadness when he heard the voice he both admired and detested. Bal's green eyes opened instantly when he sensed Eun-Ho in the room. What should he do? Should he acknowledge the celebrity or ignore him? Despite the pain he couldn't part with for the past few hours, he desperately wanted to be praised and smiled up by the Korean, and yet he simply couldn't bear anymore of that pain. If he spoke to Eun-Ho then he would just fall deeper, and with Haneul in the way then his fall would be to a cold, hard ground and no one to catch him. No, it would be best to feign sleep. And so he did. The small king closed his eyes once more, not saying a word, and breathed as deeply as he could. ________________________________________________

Eun-Ho JoongHe listened for a rhythmic breathing, sighing deeply when he heard it. He crept over to the bed as silently as possible, managing to roll himself onto the mattress somehow. His blonde hair pinned back, green eyes surveyed the boy, one hand gently pushing down the stuffed frog so he could get a better look at that sleeping face. Eun-Ho caught his breath at the adorable male, licking his lips subconsciously. " Bal," he murmured, unable to keep himself from moving that much closer. " Are you really asleep?" He knew that the boy must be, so it wouldn't hurt to get this out of his system. The blonde leaned in closer, his eyes starting to flutter close as their lips almost met-- Only to pull himself back and cover his mouth with his hand. His eyes had opened just enough to view that sweet, trusting face, and he knew he was doing wrong. " I can't do it," he whispered, his breath hitching. " I can't be the one to steal your innocence. I... I'll be the one to protect it, instead." The man lowered himself back to the bed, wrapping one arm around the boy and moving close, attempting to move the child to nestle under his chin. " Good night, Your Highness." It didn't take long before he was asleep, desperately trying to dream of navy eyes.

King Balthazar________________________________________________Balthazar nearly stopped breathing altogether when he heard Eun-Ho ask whether he was awake or not. Did he catch him? It became increasingly difficult to feign sleep when he sensed the male's presence right besides him. So warm. He wanted so desperately to latch onto the Korean and engross himself in his scent, and that is exactly why he had to keep this painful distance. The more he wanted Eun-Ho, the more his shattered heart dug into his inner organs. Finally, after coming close to opening his eyes, Bal could sense Eun-Ho move away. He was too absorbed in calming himself down to hear what the other male had to say. All he could think about was how close that had been, and how awful this victory felt. The Frog King woke up with a start. He sat up in the bed, green eyes wide and startled and small arms clutching his toy close to his body. After a few seconds he turned to see the cause of his startle. It was Eun-Ho's phone. It was ringing persistently. Bal looked forward and felt his face drop at the caller ID. Fredrich Waltz, that stupid detective. ________________________________________________

Eun-Ho JoongThe man slowly awoke tot he sound of ringing, sitting up and groaning as he picked it up and held it to his head. " Hello?" he answered groggily, yawning and scratching his bare chest. " Detective, it's like... It's 7:30 in the morning. Do you need something?" He looked over to Balthazar, setting a hand on his head and smiling a little.

King Balthazar________________________________________________" Exactly." came that cold voice in reply. " Why aren't you here, yet? You do realize you have work, don't you?" There was a pause. " ... Did you just wake up?" Feeling the hand on his head, Bal glanced up at the celebrity and smiled at him. It was a forced smile, of course. How could he be authentically happy when Eun-Ho was talking to the guy he liked more, not to mention it being the same guy who made him cry last night. ________________________________________________

Eun-Ho Joong" But Detective, it's Friday!" he whined, pouting. " And yes, I just woke up. I thought I was supposed to be sleeping in! I didn't even call for a car today." Taking his hand off of Balthazar's head, Eun-Ho got out of bed and started towards the dresser, pulling out a few articles of clothing that were much too small for him and tossing them onto the bed. " Bal, those are for you," he whispered before responding to Fredrich again. " Don't get snarky with me."

King Balthazar________________________________________________" You're working with the law now, Eun-Ho. This isn't your boy band, you can't take breaks and sleep in whenever you want. Get here in ten minutes or I'll go down and drag you to work myself." Without waiting for a reply Fredrich hung up. Meanwhile, Bal groggily climbed out of bed and began dressing in the clothes he was offered. He removed the large shirt on him and reached for the smaller one. He had forgotten all about his decision last night of what to wear to sleep and stood in only briefs. It was a short time of that, however, and he didn't seem to be concerned about it most likely because he hadn't noticed it. Before he could, he had the clothes on and looked them over. Shorts that went down to his knees and had too many pockets for his own good, and a shirt that was as green as his hair. It was rather childish and far different from the royal wardrobe he started off with, but it carried Eun-Ho's scent, and that made it worth it. ________________________________________________

Eun-Ho JoongEun-Ho tried to respond to the detective, only to be cut off and hung up on. He growled in irritation, turning to Balthazar to complain, when he glimpsed the perfect body of the younger-looking male. His mouth watered at the porcelain skin, fingers ached to touch the delicate structure that was the Frog King's body. He licked his lips, then mentally slapped himself. What the hell was he doing?! " I'm gonna go get dressed!" he shouted unnecessarily loudly as he rushed out of the room and into his bedroom. He panted as he grabbed a random outfit, not caring if it fit well or not (although everything he owned fit well), and running into the bathroom, his rapidly tightening pajama pants granting him trouble as he waddled. One cold shower later, the blonde strode out of the bathroom clothed in dark blue jeans, a white button-up, a black vest, and a grass green tie, the color a constant reminder of why he was trying to behave. " Bal, come on!" called the pop star as he started towards the front room. " We've got to get to the station before Detective Waltz comes down for us."

~~~King Balthazar________________________________________________The silence was unbearable. From the restaurant to the trip home Bal had stayed quiet. He stood as far away as he could from Eun-Ho, avoided any touch he was offered, even ignored his concerned stares. There was no point anymore. He was done caring for the star. Eun-Ho would just dismiss him as a child and would go after that mean detective, only this time the small king wouldn't try to help. Balthazar sat in the car, pressing himself against the door so he could maintain as much space between him and the pop star as possible. There were few sounds he did make throughout the ride home, and they were hiccups and snivels of cries that were too strong to hold back. Thankfully his toy was able to muffle them. ________________________________________________

Eun-Ho JoongUnfortunately for Balthazar's attempts, Eun-Ho heard every whimper that came from the boy, each one driving the guilt further into his heart. He himself didn't speak, knowing that if he did, he would regret it. Leaving the food in the car, he lead the boy into the building and into the apartment, closing the door behind them carefully. They were the only two there, from what he could see and hear, although the silence was becoming deafening. Swallowing hard, he leaned on the front door and stared at the ground, unable to stop himself from what he was about to say. " I'm sorry for yelling at you, Bal," he apologized quietly.

King Balthazar________________________________________________... ... That was it. That was what answered Eun-Ho; silence. Balthazar was sitting on the couch, glaring ruefully at the table in front of him and angrily clutching his toy to him. He wasn't going to fall for that apology trap and build himself up for another fall. He couldn't risk it. The shards of his heart were hurting him badly, if they took anymore abuse then his entire heart will become grind powder. His green eyes were red and puffy from the dried tears, and though he was sleepy now that he was done crying, he was far too angry and upset to succumb to sleep. ________________________________________________

Eun-Ho JoongMet with silence, Eun-Ho exhaled through his nose, then walked over to the boy. He knelt in front of him, setting his hands on either side of the small king in an attempt to keep him stationary. " Bal, come on," he pleaded. " I'm sorry I was being such a jerk. It's just Detective Waltz gets under my skin so easily and once he does, it's hard for me to see anyone else. I should've paid you more attention. You're more important. Please, forgive me." His tone was begging, as if he was beating himself up over this, which he was.

King Balthazar________________________________________________With nowhere to go and a faulty answer given, Bal had no choice but to retaliate with the anger born from his heartbreak. " You always do that!" he yelled. " That detective is always mean to you but you take it anyways! He made you cry last night! I saw it when you got that phone call! He made you cry but you yelled at me instead! I just wanted to make you happy, but you yelled at me!" His tears flooded his eyes again and rolled down his cheeks as all his emotions came at once. " He doesn't even like you. I do. I did from the moment you showed me kindness when no one else did, but all you ever care about is that jerk." He began crying into his toy. " I wanted to at least keep you happy, but you'd always get upset when you were around that detective. I-I just wanted to keep you f-from being s-sad, and you yelled at me. Even Haneul doesn't like me. What's the point of me staying here?" ________________________________________________
