Tom looked over at Edward's wings, and his jaw almost dropped. "They're lovely," he said, reaching out a hand to touch them. He stopped his hand, though, about an inch away from them. "Can I touch them? Oh, eh, I'm not sure if I'll be able to walk. It hurts quite a bit, though I may be able to manage in a few hours." He leaned his head against Edward's back, being sure not to bump the wings.

Claudius leaned over to his bedside table and grabbed a rubber band. His touch was gentle and loving as he swept Yuri's blonde hair into a ponytail. "There ya go," he said. "That should be better." Although the servant had said he was fine, his tone suggested otherwise. Claudius frowned slightly, but didn't want to call him on it. "If you're sure," he said. "But if ya wanna talk, ya know what to do..."

Rufus smiled and kissed the top of Felix's head. "I know where my hand is," he answered, adding a tiny amount of pressure to his touch. He looked at Felix's wings, eyes wide. "My god... those are amazing," he murmured, touching them so lightly he could barely feel them.

"They don't hurt..Go ahead." Edward laughed.'I guess Claudius is the only one with Angelic wings after all..I look like a demon, or maybe a vampire..Seeing my choices in clothing, my hair, and my odd eye color.Now the wings..And I'll carry you, alright?" He smiled softly, running his fingers through Tom's hair, then roughly kissing the boy's cheek."Would you like to bathe with me, after breakfast?Hmm..I wonder if the magicians will pierce my wings..You see, when kings get common-looking wings like these, that could belong to a prince, or a servant with special wings, or a magician, they pierce the wings and put long, beautifully hand-carved golden tubes around the outermost bone on each wing..They look quite majestic on demonic wings, my uncle Marcus has them, since he's very important..Most people have forgotten that he tried to kill Father by now, it seems."

"I'm fine, really..Just a bad dream, and a bad memory of who I am now." Yuri giggled."Thank you..I don't usually wear my hair back, but it does get annoying..I'm thinking now that there's no one to complain about it's length and it getting in the way when I'm cleaning and such, I'm going to grow it out past my hips.."

"I thought you saw them yesterday?Did they develop markings?" Felix said, looking back at his medium-sized demonic wings."Yours are beautiful as well..I think your the first servant I've seen in a LONG time with small devil's wings like that.' Felix laughed."Draconius must have predicted how you act in bed, when he gave you those."

Tom began gently running his hands up and down Edward's wings. The texture was a little rough, scaly like a lizard or dragon, but if felt good moving his hands around them. He smiled, pushing his cheek hard again Edward's mouth when he was kissed, then put his attention back on the wings. Head cocked to one side, Tom studied the wingsm and tried to imagine them with gold tubes. ''I think it'll look perfect,'' Tom said finally. ''Yes, I'd like that.''

''If you're sure,'' Claudius answered, leaning his head against Yrui's chest. ''Past your hips, eh? Isn't that a bit long? It might, y'know, get in the way when we're doing stuff.'' He lifted his head to wink at Yuri, then snuggled his head back into the other male.

''No. I guess I just didn't seem 'em so close yesterday,'' Rufus answered. He craned his head around, trying to see his own wings. Instead he ended up hitting his forehead against the back of one of the wings. Rubbing the blossoming red mark on his head, Rufus turned back to Felix. He was unsure of what to say to the last comment, considering that Draconius did know how he acted in bed, so he settled on a simple, ''Mmhmm.''

Edward smiled."You really think so?It might hurt, but it'll be worth it if you'd like it.." He giggled."Alright then..After we have breakfast, I can take you into the bathroom and we can take a bath together..I've been wantind to scrub that little sweet body of yours again.."

"I know, but I've always wanted it like that..And plus, I can always tie it back..You wouldn't like it?" Yuri said, cutely pouting."I wouldn't grow it so long that I look like an older Kyrie or anything.."

"Ah, whoops..Are you alright?You ahve larger wings than me, so be careful where you put them, you might whack yourself or someone else." Felix laughed, cuddling Rufus gently."I don't care who you were with before, or where they are now, All I know it I love you, and I WILL spend the rest of my life with you."

Tom laughed slightly. ''Well, it can't hurt more'n the tattoo, right?'' He said, remembering how much that had seemed to hurt Edward. ''Oooh, that sounds like fun.'' Again, Tom smiled mischeivously at Edward. He was excited for it, couldn't quite wait to be alone in the water with Edward.

Claudius grinned, hugging Yuri tightly. ''Of course I'd like it,'' he said, looking into Yuri's eyes. ''You're right- we can always tie it back, like it is now, and make sure you don't look like Kyire. After all, we wouldn't want Alexander mistaking you two.'' He leaned his cheek against the top of Yuri's head, liking how soft the other male's hair felt on his skin.

Rufus snuggled his head into Felix's chest. ''You're not upset with me, about it?'' he asked quietly. He and Draconius had had something going on a while ago, something that had at one point seemed very very serious. Of course, it'd died, and Draconius had moved onto someone else. ''I love you, too,'' Rufus murmured. ''You're the only person I want to spend my life with.''

Tom laughed slightly. ''Well, it can't hurt more'n the tattoo, right?'' He said, remembering how much that had seemed to hurt Edward. ''Oooh, that sounds like fun.'' Again, Tom smiled mischeivously at Edward. He was excited for it, couldn't quite wait to be alone in the water with Edward.

Claudius grinned, hugging Yuri tightly. ''Of course I'd like it,'' he said, looking into Yuri's eyes. ''You're right- we can always tie it back, like it is now, and make sure you don't look like Kyire. After all, we wouldn't want Alexander mistaking you two.'' He leaned his cheek against the top of Yuri's head, liking how soft the other male's hair felt on his skin.

Rufus snuggled his head into Felix's chest. ''You're not upset with me, about it?'' he asked quietly. He and Draconius had had something going on a while ago, something that had at one point seemed very very serious. Of course, it'd died, and Draconius had moved onto someone else. ''I love you, too,'' Rufus murmured. ''You're the only person I want to spend my life with.''

"No, it can't hurt much more then when the wings came out.I didn't show it, but that hurt more than the tattoos for me.." Edward laughed a bit."And it will be fun..VERY fun." He smirked."Can't do anything naughty, someone might catch us, but it'll still be fun.."

"Mmmh..I'm nearly two feet taller than him, though." Yuri laughed."And his hair is wavier than mine.Alexander HAS been having eyesight problems though, I've noticed."

"Not at all..What's past is past, theres no changing it..While my diary is filled with fantasies of how your body would look naked, I'm still not angry at all." Felix laughed, laying his head on Rufus's shoulder and running his fingers through the man's deep red hair.

Tom shuddered a little. ''The wings hurt me a lot,'' he said, casting his gaze downwards. After a moment, he looked up, his trademark crooked grin plastered in place. ''You sure? Besides, who's gonna walk in on the King taking a bath?''

Claudius nodded. ''Eh, you're right,'' he said, ''but I almost wouldn't put it past my brother to take you to his room on purpose, then claim it was an accident.'' He ran his hand through Yuri's wavy hair, moving gently through each knot of hair.

''Okay, good.'' Rufus was quiet for a moment, liking how Felix was moving his hands through his hair. After a moment, though, he gently lifted Felix's head up and looked at him. ''What's in your diary, exactly?'' Rufus asked. ''Perhaps... we can read some of it...''

"A perverted servant, claiming to be coming in to deliver freshly washed towels, Draconius.." Edward laughed."Draconius's DAD, I can list many perverts that would love to see me naked.Other than you."

"No, Alexander isn't like that, he's in love..That would be a Felix type thing, Alexander does nothing like that..I was his personal servant once, but nothing happened.." Yuri said blushing, but of course, was lying just a bit..

"Mmmh, I told You all I've written in it, fantasies of you, the rest is boring things I wrote when I felt lonely, nothing more." Felix said, pouting a bit."Some fo the stuff I wrote is pretty depressing, you wouldn't like it.."

Tom pouted cutely, though he knew Edward was right. "Okay, fine." He heaved a great dramatic sigh, then winked at Edward to show the other male he was only joking- mostly, that is.

Claudius grinned. "I remember when you were with Felix," he mused. "He really liked you for a bit- all he talked about was you. But, as I guess we've learned, love doesn't last forever." Claudius paused, realising what it was he'd just said. "Not for us, though," he hastily added. "I'll love you till I die, and after."

Rufus looked at Felix. "Don't pout," he said. "It's cute, but unbecoming. Guess I'll just have to kiss it off." He began methodically kissing Felix, all around his mouth and managing to land a few on his mouth. After a few moments, he stopped and smiled down at Felix. "We don't have to read it, if you don't want to, then."

"We can later, though..When there's not such a chance of being caught." Edward smirked."My family still doesn't know we're THIS in love..I'd rather not break it to them that I've been having fun with you in bed by one of them catching us.Or both, even.."

"I-I actually didn't mean Felix..I was with him, but only for a week or two, then he got obbsessive over Rufus, I read a snippet of his diary when I was cleaning his room and he left it out, he fantasized about him all the time..I'd bet he still does, too.." Yuri giggled.He'd rather draw his attention AWAY from the possible fact that Alexander and him had a little thing a long time ago, and he had NEARLY lost his virginity to the eldest son.

Felix blushed and smiled."Alright..We can read it some other time, but right now, I'm hungry, I'm still naked and my bottom still hurts, so that's not a good combination.Also I don't know where my pants fell during the night, or while we were having fun.My shirt, too.."

Tom smiled, snuggling deeper into Edward's lap. "Mkay, good," he said. "When are- I mean, are you going to tell them?"

Claudius blushed slightly. "I'm sorry, sweeties," he said. "I meant to say Alexander- I don't really remember much of when you were Felix's personal servant. But you're right, about his diary- I seen it too, once, when I was in his room." He smiled mysteriously, knowing that he hadn't said why he'd been his elder brother's room.

Rufus nodded, gently lifting Felix off his lap. "D'you want to take a quick bath before we eat?" he asked, standing up and stretching. He knelt down on the floor to look around for Felix's clothes. After a few minutes of searching, he found them pushed under the bed. Once they were retrieved, he stood up again. "Mm, we should get us some clean clothes," he said.

"I'm sure they think I do already..It's not like they'd care much, it'd just be embarrasing if they found out I HAVE been, in that way." Edward laughed, and cuddled Tom.

"I've actually been with both of them..As a personal servant, and a bit closer.." Yuri blushed deep, deep red at the fact that he had admitted it.
"I hope your not too mad..I never was in ebd with either of them..Well, ALMOST with Alexander, but we didn't actually do anything.."

"That'd be nice..I'd rather have a long bath with you, though.." Felix cutely pouted once again."And yes, we should." He giggled.

Tom grinned, leaning his head on Edward's shoulder. ''I understand,'' he said. ''Like the other day, when your mom came in and you hid me, right?''

Claudius lifted Yuri's head so their eyes met. ''I don't mind,'' he said, his tone unusually serious. ''You're mine now, all mine. And since you didn't do anything with either of my brothers, we don't need to worry, eh?'' He kissed the top of Yuri's head.

Rufus smiled at Felix. ''You'll get your bath with me, don't worry,'' he said, slinging one arm over the other male's bare shoulder. ''Where d'we find fresh clothes, anyway?''

"Yeah, but fifty times worse, since I wouldn't be able to hide it, she saw you, anyway.." Edward laughed, cuddling Tom.

"Alright.." Yuri smiled."As long as there's no hard feelings or anything, about me losing my first kiss to your eldest brother.." He blushed more.

"I don't know if my clothes will fit you, but all of my clothes are in my dresser over there." Felix pointed at the dresser."I keep my pants and shirts in the top drawer, underwear in the second and socks in the third."

Tom nodded. ''Yeah, I get it,'' he said again. His stomach growled and Tom suddenly realised how hungry he was. ''Erm, when's breakfast?''

Claudius leaned down and kissed Yuri's lips; long and deep, it conveyed pure, uncontrolled love. After several moments, during which Claudius's head and stomach whirled, he pulled away. ''I swear, I don't mind at all,'' he said, breathing a bit heavily.

Rufus went over to the drawers. He looked through the top drawer for a few minutes, then selected a pair of black pants and a cream colored shirt for Felix. He also grabbed a pair of underwear, then went over to Felix. "These all right for you?"

"Get on your clothes and it'll be time." Edward giggled."Would you like to wear one of my shirts?" He smiled sweetly."It'd make you look very loved in front of our new servants..Since now the people you worked with work for you..You are the queen."

Yuri gasped for air after the kiss ended and he smiled, kissing the make back just as long and deep, with a bit more tongue in the mix."Thank you, Prince Claudius.."

"Yeah..I was going to wear my dark red shirt today, but I guess the cream is okay." Felix giggled, sitting up slowly."OW..I loved you beign rough, but next time we do something fun in bed, ease up just a bit."

Tom smiled and nodded, a slight giggle escaping from his mouth. ''Yeah, I'd love to wear something of yours,'' he said. ''Maybe later, we can go and get some new dresses for me. Since, like you said, I am the Queen.''

Claudius's eyes closed lightly as Yuri kissed him back. ''You don't need to thank me,'' he murmured, nuzzling his head into the prince's neck.

Rufus kissed Felix's forehead. ''I'm sorry, my Love,'' he said. ''Next time, I'll be gentler.'' He slowly pulled the shirt over Felix's head, then slid the underpants and pants onto the prince.

"Alright." Edward said, standing up and putting on his pants, then slipping his pajama shirt over Tom, and putting a smaller pair of boxers he had onto the little boy."And we will..Don't you have your own wardrobe coming, soon?" He giggled.

"Alright..It should be breakfast time soon.." Yuri smiled, pushing the covers off of himself more, revealing his sweet, innocent-looking, cream colored pajama pants, that he seemed to have taken from Claudius's wardrobe.

"Thanks.." Felix smiled, and kissed Rufus."My pants will problably fit you, at least, since I've gotten alot thinner recently, I've been getting a bit out of shape, I used to be strong, now I barely have any muscle to me at all.."

Tom smiled as Edward dressed him. Hmm, I could get very used to someone else dressing me, he thought, letting a small laugh escape his mouth. He reached his arms out to Edward, silently asking to be picked up. He could walk on his own, of course, but it was so much more fun to be carried around. ''Yeah, it'll come soon,'' he said. ''But none of the designers had the sort of dresses we like, so we'll have to shop for them ourselves.''

Claudius looked down at what Yuri was wearing. "Aren't those mine?" he asked, cocking his head to the side. His tone was light, though, and a smile flitted around his mouth. He pulled the covers the rest of the way off the smaller boy, tossing them to the foot of the bed. A maid would come in later and remake the bed for this evening, so neither of them had to worry about it.

Rufus kissed Felix back, then got up and went back to the chest of drawers. He pawed through the top drawer for a few minutes before selecting a pair of dark brown pants. He pulled them on and was happy to find that they fit him perfectly. He also grabbed a pajama shirt and pulled it over his head, then went back over to Felix. "Thanks, my Love," he said. "They fit well. Don't worry about your muscles- I think you're perfect just the way you are."

Edward gently picked the boy up, and carried him into the dining hall bridal-style, sitting down in the place where his father usually sat, setting Tom in the place where his mother usually sat.He wanted to show EVERYONE that he WAS king, including his father, who he knew might have tried to take the spot again, out of habit.

"I have no clothes, other than my formal robes and my uniform.." Yuri blushed."And we happen to be nearly the same size..Sorry.." He said, standing up and helping Claudius up, and making the bed neatly.Habit, what could he say.

Felix blushed more."Thanks.Shall we go get breakfast, then?" He smiled, shakily standing up, and just falling back onto the bed."I can't stand, It hurts too much.."

Tom leaned his head against Edward's shoulder as the other male carried him into the dining hall. He blushed a little as they passed servants and other people, but he enjoyed it. He wasn't really surprised when Edward set him down in the Queen's chair, and he loved how it was a little higher up than the other chairs. It was also much more comfortable, even on his still-sore bum.

Claudius laughed, hugging Yuri to him. "I was just joking, Love," he said. He went to his closet and pulled out a shirt, which he tossed over to Yuri. "Go ahead and put that on," he said. He chose for himself a pair of cream pants that matched the ones Yuri was wearing and a plain black shirt.

Rufus scooped Felix up, holding him in such a way that the prince's legs were hooked around his waist. "We'll get you a cushion or something, too, if it hurts to sit." He walked out of their room and into the dining room, where he gently set Felix down on one of the chairs. He sat down beside the prince, smiling over at Edward and Tom. "Morning..."

"Ah, morning, Rufus.I see you had fun with Felix..You need a cushion, Felix?" Edward laughed, as his brother blushed deep red.

"Yes, and shut up." Felix said, blushing more."I know Rufus wasn't what anyone was expecting I'd pick, but shut up."

"Yeah, weren't you the only STRAIGHT Prince, until yesterday?" Draconius laughed, as he sat down, and put Jacob beside him.

"Shut up, Draconius." Felix said, silently threatening to throw a fork at the sorcerer's face.

Yuri put the shirt on, leaving it open, though, and draping over his shoulders, to give his wings room, and smiled."Shall we go have breakfast, now?Today will be fun..Seeing the many adjustments that our new king makes in the castle..My mother said it was quite an amazing sight, as she saw the transition between your grandfather and your father when she was a teen..She had quite a crush on three of the princes.."

Tom laughed slightly, watching the exchange between Edward, his brother, and the sorceror. He bit down on his lip, suddenly feeling sad that he hadn't grown up with the same sort of family that Edward had. He called a servant over and requested breakfast to be served to them.

Rufus heard what Felix said and couldn't help frowning slightly. He didn't particularly like how Felix had said that he'd been picked, like a piece of meat, or something, but now wasn't the time to discuss it. He stood up rather abruptly and went over to one of the servants. He spoke to him quietly for a moment, then the servant left. He returned a few minutes later, holding a cushion, which he handed to Rufus. Rufus then went over to Felix and lightly pushed it under the prince's arse. "There ya go," he said. "That better, Love?"

Cladius picked Yuri up, being careful not to hit the other male's wings or anything. "Yeah, my mom used to tell us about how different stuff was after my dad became King," he said as they walked to the dining room. "I'm actually rather interested to see what Edward does. The kid's always had ways of improving the castle." He smiled, remembering everything his younger brother had done when they were younger. Once in the dining room, Claudius set Yuri down next to Jacob, then sat down beside him. "Morning, all."

{Ooh, I love your avvie, hun. And sorry it took so long- again.}

Edward leaned over and kissed Tom's cheek."Is everything alright, sweetie?You look sad.."

Felix nodded, kissing Rufus's cheek."Thank you, Rufus..For everything." He giggled, before kissing the older, taller male's lips.

Yuri blushed as he was picked up, and then sat down, and he waved to everyone silently, still feeling quite embarrased to talk to Claudius casually, as if he was at the same level, an equal insetead of beign lower than the prince.

Alexander walked in, with a little, very sleepy silver haired angelic-looking boy in his arms, Kyrie, and he sat down, sitting the little boy beside him, in the spot closest to Tom."Morning all..Kyrie's still very sleepy, it seems." He laughed, petting the head of the little boy beside him, who now had cute, short, curly hair, instead of his usual past-hip length hair.

A male walked in, wearing a servant's uniform, he was exactly the same height as Edward, and had the wings that Edward seemed to have lost in the night, light cream with dark rown tips, but in a very small size, and they looked rather ragged. He had rather sad looking red eyes, and rugged-looking, messy mid neck length black hair.Otherwise, he could be mistaken for the new king himself.He was mixed in with the other servants that were serving food, bute stood out quite a bit, with his noble-like looks, and his frail body, like most of the princes, who had been raised pampered, and never had to fight, making them fair of complection, with long, slender features in parts such as their arms, legs and fingers, and most of the royal children, save for the blonde princess, had the same, pure jet black hair, like their father.
