Romeo and Julien (BL)

Romeo went out, strolling the streets with his guard, Amon. They’re very close friends, yet they stay pressional when alone and when not regardless. If they were ever caught being unprofessional, like gossiping (that’s for the girls), rough housing(out-field training, meaning training outside the fields), or sharing secret thoughts(the kingdom thinks you might be passing around bad information and that gets you in trouble for questioning), they would get punished to clean the kingdom floors and walls for days until sparkly. Even the prince would get punished, the prince being Romeo.

Well, unfortunately, prince Romeo and Amon would in fact break all of these rules. So yeah, they’ve scrubbed and mopped the whole palace so clean, it’s like you get blinded by the amount of sparkle that hits your eyes once you open the doors.

Romeo Ceviris: 18 / Prince of Ceviris / Only child.

——————————

Amon Kabaro: 21 / Head Guard of Ceviris / Romeo’s bodyguard

Romeo and Amon where just enjoying the beautiful, calm life of Mother Nature, the Spring breeze blowing their hair off their face and brushing against their cheeks. Then they hear shuffling sounds from the bushes towards their right. In sync, they both reach for their swords, but don’t raise them from their sheath.

Romeo: “What was that?”

Amon: “I don’t know. . . There shouldn’t be anyone here but us at this time.”

Romeo squints his eyes a bit in caution, then opening them back to normal. Then, a person stumbles back into a bush right next to Romeo. He immediately draws his sword out and points it directly to the person that fell, struggling to get out of the uncomfortable cluster of leave and sticks.

?: “Aughh.. Ouch.” He starts to get out of the bush. He then looks up, seeing that someone’s in front of him. His eyes then widening. “OH –WHAT THE HELL?! He falls back down.

Romeo cracks a smirk, a small snort escaping his lips.

Romeo: “Are you serious right now..?”

The person looks up at Romeo again, squeezing one eye shut out of pain from the sticks that are scraping against the fabric of his thin shirt.

?: “Wh-who are you guys?”

Romeo: “Romeo.” He then points at his bodyguard. “And this is Amon.”

?: “Pfft, like the Romeo from Romeo and Juliet?”

Romeo rolls his eyes. “Unfortunately.” He sighs.

‘?’ chuckles again, then says his name.

_: Julien.

Romeo: “So I guess you’re my Juliet.” He smirks, finding the coincidence funny and unusual.

Julien: “Uh-👀”

Amon: “Romeo, stop it. He chuckles lightly still. ‘Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Julien.” He says while bowing.

Julien: “Back to you. But, can you guys help me get out of here? It really hurts..”

Amon steps foward with Romeo’s nod of approval to help him, and Julien finally gets out the bushes.

Julien: “Thank you.”

Amon nods.

Romeo: “Are you ok to walk?”

Julien: “Uh, I think I’m good-yeah.”

Amon: “What were you doing before to end up like that, if I may ask?”

Julien: “Oh. I hunt animals for survival. My aunt lives just about 20 minutes away from where we stand right now. I was going to return that–-well, now dead deer, back home so we can eat for at the most 5 days.”

Romeo raises an eyebrow, Amon does the same.

Romeo: “..You’re a commoner?”

Julien: “Yeah..” He rubs the back of his neck, kind of embarrassed that he had to admit that, though it’s not a big deal to tell.

Romeo: “I see…”

Julien tried to walk normally, but then started to wobble a bit, and it was noticeable.

Romeo: “Julien, sir. You can’t walk around like that—you’d be a humiliation.” Romeo then snaps for Amon’s attention and orders him to carry Julien ‘princess style’.

Julien: “Wha-?! No, I can walk.” He said confidently.

Amon steps back, but with only little hope inside.

Julien then falls to one knee, grunting slightly in pain.

Romeo sighs, and goes over to pick up Julien himself.

Julien: “Huh?-Wha-Hey! Put me down!!”

Romeo: “Stop being so dramatic, you’re fine.”

They start heading back to the palace.

Julien: “I’m not being dramatic! I just don’t wanta random man carrying me to a place where he might kidnap me!”

Amon: “Uh-R-Romeo, are you sure you should be carrying him? I think it’s best I should do it instead so you won’t have—

Romeo: “-I’m fine.”

Amon: “But wouldn’t your parents be mad if I made you do work? I’m a guard so I should do it for you. A prince shouldn’t—

Romeo glares at him immediately, signaling for him to stop talking.

Julien didn’t really pay attention to their conversation, he just wanted to go home back to his auntie and eat together.

Julien: “Waiiit, my deeeer. I forgot! Can we go back?”

Romeo: “No.” He sighs in relief that he wasn’t paying attention to what Amon had said.

Julien: “What do you mean ‘no’???”

Romeo: “ ‘Cause I said so.”

Julien: “Wha- Look here ‘Romeo oh Romeo’.. I don’t have to listen to what you say you know? You’re a stranger!” Points at Amon. “And so are you!”

Amon: “Well, you’re not wrong, but please calm down. We won’t hurt you.”

Julien: “Yeah right..”

They make it back to the palace, all the people wondering who the person they’re bringing in is. Amon has switched with Romeo now, this being because being a gaurd means protecting and doing all the hard work so that the prince, king, or queen don’t have to. If they didn’t switch, the whole palace will shame him for not doing the right thing, and would have to face punishment, even if he is the Head guard.

They take him to Romeo’s room.

Amon: “Why don’t we take him to Doctor Fláran?”

Romeo: “Because, though she has professional medication and tools, she did give me permission to practice my medical skills too.”

Amon: “Not for a real patient! And you’ve barely practiced.”

Romeo: “Shhh, Amon. She could hear you if you yell like that. She might be studying her book or something.”

Amon mutters: “Not that she’ll care because she knows you don’t already..”

Romeo: “Don’t make me tell the palace about the carrying situation.” He glares at him.

Amon: “I’m sorry, but in my defense, you didn’t let me carry him and I offered!”

Romeo: “Don’t scream it to the world.”

Amon: “I’m passionate about my reputation, ok?” He crosses him arms.

Romeo: “I know you do.”

Julien looks up at their banter, intrigued in what they’re life is like everyday.

Julien: “So you guys are rich, huh?”

Romeo: “More than.”

Julien: “Ok, show off~”

Romeo rolls his eyes again, smirking cheekily.

Julien chuckles.

Romeo bandages Julien’s legs which have some deep scratches in them, a few on each. Then he puts a glove on and applies some healing cream on his fainter scars.

Romeo: “There. You should be fine in a week. You got some deep scratches from that bush.”

Julien: “Yeah, they’re prickly.”

Romeo: “Well,” he stands up. “You’re gonna have to stay here for a while. Maybe a few days.”

Julien: “What? Why?”

Amon: “We need to make sure you have the proper treatment until we’re sure you’re ok to walk on your own. We don’t want you hurt again if your condition doesn’t get better.”

Julien: “But my aunt. . . She expects me to be home by now. She’s gonna get worried..”

Romeo and Amon get a little worried too, not wanted to separate him from his family without notice of what’s happening.

Romeo: “I can send my parrot to mail a letter to her. Just tell me where she lives and I’ll Jarro will handle it.”

Julien: “Jarro?”

Romeo: “The parrot.”

Julien: “I see. . . Uhhhh, maybe that could work. She usually doesn’t check her mail because she hasn’t got one in years. But maybe Jarro could ring the doorbell instead and give it her by hand?”

Romeo: “He can do that.”

Julien: “Ok good. We’ll do that then.”

Romeo: “I’ll go get him.”

Romeo leaves to get Jarro, leaving Amon alone with Julien. Amon is smart and great at combat, so if anything were to happen between them, Amon could handle him by himself in a swiftly matter. So Romeo was worried not one bit.

Amon: “So where do you and your aunt live at?”

Julien: “In the Mandwo Kingdom, East. City is Eastwallington.

Amon eyes widen, but he hides them from Julien. That’s the Kingdom from the war.

Mandwo and Ceviris kingdoms were never friends. They always fought for power. There’s been 5 wars. Madwo’s lost the first 3. Ceviris lost the 4th. The fifth one was a tie, concluding to a good game, so no one won. The two kings were too injured to order more violence so they both surrendered to defeat, but swore to fight again once their both mutually heald.

Amon: “I see. . .”

(Amon💭: So, he doesn’t know that we’re destined enimies?. . Wait-does Romeo know he’s from the Mandwo’s Kingdom?!)

Amon quickly looks at the door.

Julien: “Something wrong???”

Amon quickly looks back at him, trying to rest his face back to neutral.

Amon: “Y-yes. Just thinking about something.”

Julien: “Ok..”

(Amon💭: Maybe his parents didn’t tell him about the war. Or maybe he doesn’t have parents and only has his aunt. He does mention her a lot—So maybe she’s the one that didn’t tell him—But she should. Someone should. He shouldn’t be out in the open world with no awareness of danger. We ARE the danger. He’s in danger RIGHT NOW! What do we—)

Romeo opens the door.

Amon’s heart drops a little.

Romeo: “Jarro’s here! And I brought a little piece of paper and a pen you can write your message with. But it in this envelope when you’re done.”

Julien: “Got it. Thanks. :)”

Romeo: “Mhm.”

Nightfall comes about 4 hours later. Jarro already delivered Julien’s message 3 hours ago, returing back with a letter from his aunt. He opens it. It reads:

“ Dear my precious, Julien,

I miss you so much dear, I just wish I could hug you and kiss your forehead until you explode. >U< Thank you for notifying me, I was wondering what was taking so long. As long as you know you’re safe where you are, stay there for a week or more if you need. <3 Just be kind and cautious is all I ask. If you really need to escape, do it. No one is stopping you. If they do attempt to, you better fight for your life and I mean it. I raised a warrior, so be ready to fight for whatever life may throw at you. Be strong, love.

Love you lots! See you soon!!

Sincerely, aunt Kay. ”

Julien smiles at the letter, his heart warming with enthusiasm.

Julien: “Ok. I’m going to bed then.”

He turns off the nightlight beside him, then turns over with the thick blanket, makimg him into a burrito. Jarro, who’s been in the room all this time, settles down next to him. Julien opens his eyes a little, smirking when he sees Jarro trying to cuddle him.

Julien: “You’re adorable, y’know?”

He starts petting Jarro. Then immediately takes his hand off thinking he’ll get in trouble if he pets Romeo’s pet without permission. But Jarro comes closer, almost to close. Pecking at his thumb, trying to pick it up himself. Julien sees what he’s trying to do. He sighs, regretting what he’s about to do, but he does it anyway and pets Jarro again.

After about 15 minutes, Julien falls asleep, Jarro still inside his arms. Romeo then comes in a few minutes later and was about to pick up Jarro when he processes the scene in front of him.

Romeo: :0

Romeo thinks the cuddling is adorable! He can’t stop staring at them-it was too cute! He looked at them for a straight 5 minutes of how it looks so cute to him.

“Prince Romeo?”

Romeo squeaks. He immediately turns around.

It was just Amon.

Amon: “What are you doing?”

Romeo sighs. Not relieved, just calming down from the startle.

Romeo: “Nothing! I was just checking up on them.”

Amon: “Really now?”

Romeo: “Yes! He starts to blush, a little embarrassed. A-and I was getting Jarro.”

He carefully grabs Jarro from Julien’s hands. Jarro makes a noise.

Romeo: “Shh, Jarro!” He whispers. “Let’s go.”

Him, Jarro, and Amon walk out, shutting the door behind them.

Romeo puts Jarro back in his cage across the long hall, and he and Amon go back into Romeo’s room to rest. Amon lovks the door behind them.

Amon: “So. . . What were you really doing?”

Romeo: “I told you just checking on them. Can I not do that?” He pouts.

Amon: “You were always good at Theatre. But you’re not fooling me.”

Romeo: “It’s not even that big ‘a deal..”

Amon: “Then spill it.”

Romeo: Sighs.. I was just. . . Looking at them cuddling, Julien and Jarro were so cute together.”

Amon: “So that was ‘something’ to hide???”

Romeo: “Aaand I was staring at their cute little faces. Probably for about 5 minutes. . . I wasn’t tryna be creepy for anything..”

Amon: “ "Their"???”

Romeo: “Yeah… "Their" ”.

Amon: “So Julien’s cute too?😏”

Romeo: “Wha-!? I-I, well, uhh. . .” He begans to blush.

Amon: “You’re saying their both cute I see.”

Romeo: “I didn’t mean him too!.. I mean, he’s nice looking, but I’m not trying to insinuate anything beyond that!”

Amon: “Riiight.” Chuckles.

Romeo: “I swear, you—”

Amon: “Look, I’m not insinuating anything either. It’s your feelings and thoughts. I don’t control them or you. I’m just saying that it’s a little suspicious you think of him that.

Romeo: “You think it’s a bad thing😤, huh?”

Amon: “No? You want it to be a good thing?”

Romeo: “I don’t know at this point. You’re confusing me.” He lays down on his side of the bed and turns away from him.

Amon: “You’re confusing yourself.” He lies down too but on his back.

Romeo: “No I’m not!”

Amon: “ "To confuse the enemy, you must confuse yourself." ”

Romeo: “Shut up.” He rolls his eyes, kicking Amon in the shin with the heel of his foot.

Amon: “Ow! Okay-okayyy. I’ll stop teasing you. >U<”

Romeo: “You better. . .”

Amon giggles.

Romeo grabs his pillow and stuffs his face into it. “Stop lauging at meee. It was a simple mistake I said, ok? Nothing more..”

Amon turns Romeo to turn over and look at him, then he pulls him into a quick hug,

Amon: “I’m sorry. Lets go. I won’t bully you anymore with it.”

Romeo: “Thank you.”

Amon: “I won’t forget about it though. >U<”

Romeo: “Of course you won’t.. You have a great memory.”

Amon: “Thank you✨.”

Romeo: “You’re welcome..”

They then go to sleep, Romeo still lightly blushing from the small incident that occured just now.

(Romeo💭: Was I really just admiring the cuteness of the cuddling, or the cuteness of him. . .?)
