Suho slowly calmed down in Kris' arms. Then, embarassment kicked in. He was the prince of Narcissistica dammit! He had done nothing but appear uncool in front of someone so perfect. Like, what the hell!!! Suho got out of Kris' lap quickly. He couldn't dare look up at the king's face. What would people think if they found out that he, prince Suho, had been in the lap of the King of Exo-L for the past hour or so. He was pulled out of his thougts when Kris apologized softly.

He pushed Suho's bangs out of his eyes to look into them clearly. Suho burned at the touch. Kris was too kind, too kind for someone like him.

"The kids really didn't mean any harm. They are just very active and love animals, so they don't think that others might not be comfortable around some animals.They actually thought that the snakes were cute. They were garden snakes that are completely harmless. They must have really searched a lot to find so many. I hope you can overlook this folly."

Suho felt like he understood where Kris was coming from, and now that he was calm, he could also forgive them. Plus, they were just too cute to stay angry with.

He told Kris to not worry as Kris got up and offered him his hand. Suho hesitantly took his hand in his and Kris led him out of his bedroom to a connected lounge. There, all the kids were standing in a file. They all bowed and apologized.

Hyuk spoke up, "We are thorry. We didn't know you hated thnakes. We will get you butterfwies next time tho that you can wook pwettier."

Suho just smiled because Hyuk was too ing cute. He forgave them and told them an apology gift wasn't needed.

Ravi looked up and said, "Realy?"

Just then a scream was heard inside the castle. All the princes just stood there smiling up at Suho like angels and Kris rushed out.

Suho just started laughing and the princes all joined him.

Suho had to go back soon after that, but he visited often following that meeting. Kris seemed to have made up his mind about treating Suho with the utmost luxury to make up for the horror experience he had. No amounts of assurance on Suho's part on how he didn't mind deterred him.

-----X------

Suho's mind wandered to the day Kris had kissed him. It was another of his visits that went quite peacefully since the prince wasn't there. It was night time and he was looking for Kris just like he had on the first night. His heart pulled him to the cove again. He felt like Kris belonged there, basking in the soft lights of the moon, listening to the whispered songs of the ocean. And there he did find Kris, sitting on a rock, looking out to the sea with soft locks tossing in the wind. He turned around just like the first night and mesmerized Suho
