"I.." Theo's eyes wavered around attempting to read the prince face , the young prince's usual aloof look however was not in his favor.

"-don't quite understand what you mean." he tensed up , pressing his lips tightly before pulling them into a forced smile.

Luv leaned back "I see." His two toned orbs softened up , almost as if disappointed.

Xi interrupted by reaching for his master's smaller hand , he had an anxious look on his face.

The young prince's lips gaped slightly as he looked up at the older male , before they curled up into a soft brief Reassuring smile.

Holding tightly into a couple of xi's fingers , the prince leaned down towards the children , and handed them the ticket before standing back up.

As he was about to walk away , and as a hand reached to stop him "wait-" said Theo.

xi roughly grabbed the stranger's hand before brushing it away , without looking at him , he then gently placed his own hand on the youngest prince's shoulder as they went back to the carriage to catch up with the rest.

Theo watched as his target simply left , not being able to do anything about it , his fists clenched until knuckles white , he cursed while glaring at his boots.

-

when they went back to the butler and crown Prince , the sinister atmosphere was the first thing that Luv noticed, thankfully the mood lifted up as soon as their eyes met.

Arthur questioned with his crimson eyes fixated at the younger male , asking whether they were done or not.

Luv answered with a simple nod.

"Where would you like to go next?" Asked Arthur rubbing the back of his neck and looking up , wondering if his bones are actually getting old at last.

"I wish to go there." Luv pointed.

"I don't believe the performance starts just yet , your highnesses." Isaac politely spoke up , for some reason Luv felt as if it's been quite a while since he heard his voice.

"Is that so." luv looked around before looking down and thinking of the next stop , then he came to realize something, peaking at the three males who were watching him with anticipation from beneath his long lashes "how come we don't go where each of you wants to?" He quietly argued.

The older males stood there silently , most thinking that it's because it's his first time here while it's definitely not theirs , still,

Isaac cleared his throat , covering his mouth with his gloved hand as he did so , he stepped forward with his usual smile "How about going for Dessert, Your highness?" He watched as Luv turned his head towards him , his eyes smiling as they drowned in the younger one's twinkling ones.

Isaac is used to studying each and every kind of dessert element especially, and pretty much anything edible to the tiniest detail, only to serve his prince and gain his satisfaction at all time.

When his baby is happy , he is happy.

Based on Isaac's suggestion , they arrived at the dessert shop , and Arthur had started with knowingly ordering everything in the menu- that was of course mainly suited with his younger brother's picky eating habits.

Luv would have a bite of each before handing Isaac the rest just so that he'll have enough space in his stomach to taste everything , needless to say Isaac was enjoying it.

Since Arthur doesn't have a sweet tooth , and dairy wasn't suited for Xi.

By the time they were out of the dessert shop, it was luckily just about time for the performance.

Arriving at their destination and sitting at their assigned seats.

The place was certainly full with all kinds of people.

As the thumping music started playing gesturing that the performance is about to start , luv's shoulders perked up , not minding his brother who had pulled his cloak down to cover more of his face , and a sulking tiger who sat next to him.

As the performers stepped out his eyes were fixated on the panther , meanwhile Xi always felt anxious whenever he saw him , he was on a bundle of nerves.

It was finally his turn , Luv's eyes quivered as he saw them pulling out the fire hoops he then glowered,

'not the fire hoops.'

The audience cheered evidently having the opposite reaction of the Young prince.

he recoiled every time the panther had confidently jumped through them , his "trainer" pulling out the whip and whipping it either against the panther or on the floor , even though there was absolutely no need for it , except for showing off.

"." Arthur had called for the third time , putting his hand on the younger one's back.

He looked at him with a worried glare.

Luv had heard him This time , and every once and then , he'd turn his head to answer him but he'd be interrupted by the whipping sounds.

The youngest prince lowered his head to his hands , extremely infuriated and peeved.

The performance had finally ended, performers bowing , audiences cheering and on their feet.

Arthur patience had also run out ، he pulled Luvian's arm , and brought his flushed face towards him , causing his heart to sink , his eyes to narrow even more , now completely certain that something is definitely wrong.

He first checked for his temperature suspecting that he had caught a fever , but something was telling him that this was not it.

'You are enraged Luv , at what?' Arthur thought to himself, his thoughts began dancing in his head as he searched for a reason.

"Hyung.." luv called

"him..I want him."

Arthur's frown softened down 'He could've simply asked , I'd get him anything , there was no need for him to get this upset.' Thought Arthur to himself as he stroked the younger one's hair tucking it behind his ear.

Xi abruptly stood up "No."

The younger prince was startled by the sudden repudiation , only for a bit though as he soon understood , Yet it took him a while as he thought of a response.

the older prince had already gotten up and headed to get what his only brother had his heart set on.

Luv knew that Xi's mentality has been unstable lately , they needed to talk it out from the beginning , just so that it won't escalate even further , calming down, he told Isaac to follow his brother and inform him that he meant to get the panther back to his home and not ours , as Arthur would've probably understood it the other way.

The other two went outside and to a calm alleyway , Luv still kind of uncomfortable with the amount of crowd when they passed through.

He looked at Xi ,The cat silently standing there as if he's being punished , his straight long white bangs covering his eyes.

'what are you scared from..?' Luv mind linked as he slowly put his hand on the older one's well defined arm rubbing it with his thumb in a comforting manner.

Xi had a pained expression upon his face , it was only a few minutes , until he pulled the younger one towards his chest lifting his feet off of the ground.

They were communicating , having a wordless tacit heart to heart conversation, quite literally.

The white head Tucked against Luvian's neck , Luv slowly brought his hand to pat his head soothingly, they stayed just like that for a good while.

'did you think you'd get rid of me this easily?' The younger one chuckled softly as he squirmed around trying to get the tips of his feet to reach back on the ground.

"I love you."

Those words caused luv's head to jolt straight , his hands holding tighter onto the male's chest.

The silence that followed after , made Luv think that the now painfully loud drums of his heart could be heard , he was beginning to think whether or not he'd die if his heart continued beating like this Frequently, until the quiet was broken by Xi repeating his words of Love.

The younger one's breathing hitched as Xi held him sturdily , and eagerly pulled him as close to him as possible, their hearts dancing against each other,

'do you hear me? I lo-' xi questioned almost debating whether the younger one's mind was with him or not, Luv paused before nodding vigorously freeing his hands by putting them on the other male's shoulders.

"I.." his heart began to bump the waves of heat traveling to every inch of his body visibly on his finger tips , his ears and his cheeks.

"Hear you." Luv's orbs fluttered shut feeling let down by himself, he still hesitates to say it , getting all confused by his sanity.

He felt Xi's hand travel from his waist to the middle of his chest "I hear you too."
