A/N: Sorry this is a little late in being posted guys. Had a few issues recently and it's either affected my writing or my motivation so I haven't been writing as much as I would have liked. Anyway! In the very near future there are going to be lots of things happening within the story (Yes sadly that means more cliffhangers :P but what can I say, I love them! It will be worth it) I'm looking forward to writing it all so I hope you look forward to reading it~ I hope you enjoy the chapter!

And as always, comments are much appreciated.

Leeteuk’s eyes widened as Kyuhyun spoke, the younger’s words surprising as well as worrying him. The look in the demon prince’s eyes resembled the look Heechul had told him about on the day Kyuhyun first lost control of his light magic. There was something about their colour that worried Leeteuk, the blue in his eyes was pale and almost like ice. Kyuhyun wasn’t himself when his magic began to overwhelm him, something that was becoming increasingly clear.

Leeteuk stepped closer and reached out his hand for Kyuhyun to take but instead the younger remained where he stood, his eyes fixed on Sungmin’s face.

"Kyuhyun, baby, stop. Remember what the doctor said. Listen to my voice you need to calm down"

"I'm tired of him acting like he can treat me like dirt because i’m different to him! He doesn’t even know me. He keeps making out like i’m a monster but i’m not!” Kyuhyun growled as tears pricked at the corners of his eyes, something Sungmin had noticed almost instantly.
Leeteuk stumbled forward despite the continued shaking before he cupped Kyuhyun’s face in his hands, the action forcing the demon prince to look at him and only him.
“Kyuhyun, listen to me. It’s happening again and you need to stop. Remember what the doctor said, he doesn’t know what will happen if you have a bad turn again, I don’t want you taking that chance. I can’t lose you. Please, calm down”
“Am I a monster?” Kyuhyun asked quietly and Leeteuk’s features softened before he shook his head. He brushed his thumbs over both the demon prince’s cheeks before pressing their lips together. Kyuhyun closed his eyes and his tears finally fell, within seconds the shaking stopped, much to Sungmin’s confusion. When Leeteuk finally pulled back he felt Kyuhyun’s hands grip onto the front of his t-shirt tightly before noticing that the younger was swaying slightly on the spot, his eyes closing momentarily before opening again.
“I don’t feel good” Kyuhyun mumbled as he rested his head on Leeteuk’s shoulder and closed his eyes. Leeteuk frowned and wrapped his arm around the younger’s waist to help him walk before he walked him through to the bedroom and helped him onto the bed. Leeteuk helped Kyuhyun take off his sweater before the younger laid down.
“Leeteuk, i’m sorry. He just, he made me angry. I can’t control it” Kyuhyun frowned and curled up against Leeteuk’s pillow before he closed his eyes. Leeteuk pressed a kiss to the younger’s temple and pulled the blankets over him, brushing the hair from his face.
“It’s okay, nobody got hurt. Rest now, Kyuhyun. You need your strength.”

Back in the living room Sungmin was picking up the various items that had fallen off shelves as a result of the shaking, including the photo frame containing the picture of Kyuhyun and Leeteuk in the park. He studied the picture briefly before setting it back down on the shelf and standing up, lowering his head when Leeteuk walked back into the room.
“I don’t know what happened while I was changing but it cannot happen again, do you understand me, Sungmin? Kyuhyun is very fragile right now and I won’t have you putting him in any more danger.”
“I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean for any of this to happen, I swear.” Sungmin sighed as he took a seat on the sofa and gave Leeteuk an apologetic look.
“What did you say to him?” Leeteuk asked and Sungmin looked away, a sudden look of guilt on his face.

“I might have implied that his mother was a and that’s the only reason he was even born” Sungmin mumbled and Leeteuk glared at him before shaking his head.
“You idiot. You know nothing about his mother so never speak of her. Your mother left the palace but not your life, you don’t know how lucky you are to still have her with you. He lost his mother at the age he needed her the most, she was everything to him. You will be wise to remember that before speaking ill of her because I guarantee you that there will not be a next time. He’ll make sure of that,”
“I’m sorry, I regretted it the minute I had said it, I don’t even know why I said it!” Sungmin sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “Leeteuk, what’s wrong with him? He seemed to think I didn’t notice but back in the alleyway after he got rid of the vampires he looked like he was going to pass out, it wasn’t only once either. And earlier after I cleaned myself up he told me that he had a headache” Leeteuk frowned and took a seat beside his cousin.

“A few days ago something went wrong with his magic and it overwhelmed him, he was in hospital and unconscious for a day but we were told there could be lasting damage or worse… Thankfully it isn’t as bad as that but he has bruising on his brain and he needs to rest. If he gets angry, upset or worked up in anyway his magic manifests. That’s what you just saw. He can’t control it and he can’t stop it on his own, at least not yet.”

“I don’t understand though, I thought a demon got their magic at a younger age than we do? Shouldn’t he have full control over it by now?” Sungmin asked and looked over to the bedroom curiously. Leeteuk had left the door open so that he could hear or see if Kyuhyun needed him in any way and as the demon prince turned over in bed his arm hung off the side, exposing a familiar hospital bracelet for Sungmin to see.
“The bracelet he’s wearing.. Why does it look like the one I wore a few weeks ago?” he asked, turning back to look at Leeteuk for an explanation. Leeteuk sighed.
“Because he was treated by your father’s doctors. I couldn’t take him to a hospital here in the human realm, they can’t treat people like him, they don’t have the skill or equipment.” Leeteuk shrugged, choosing to leave out the part about Kyuhyun’s mother being an angel until he felt the time was right.

Sungmin frowned a little as he thought back to the past couple of weeks and how he had treated Kyuhyun. Maybe he had severely underestimated the demon prince after all. He looked to Leeteuk and sighed before taking his cousin's hand.
“I’m sorry, Leeteuk. I’m sorry for what happened at the palace, i’m sorry for the pain Kyuhyun has suffered because of me and i’m sorry i’ve been so horrible to him. I just can’t bare to lose you. I have been trying to protect you from a monster but I realise that the only monster here has been me. Can you forgive me?” Leeteuk’s expression softened as Sungmin spoke, feeling somewhat relieved that his cousin had seemed to finally come to accept that Kyuhyun wasn’t a threat. Leeteuk gave a small smile and squeezed the younger’s hand gently before glancing towards Kyuhyun.
“I forgive you, but it isn’t me you need to apologise to, I think you know that.”
“I know.. I will apologise first thing in the morning before I go home. What do you think I could do to make it up to him?” Sungmin asked and Leeteuk shrugged again.
“I honestly don’t know. Treat him normally, like a friend, just be nice to him. I’m not asking you to be best friends with him but he is a part of my life now and I plan to keep it that way,” Sungmin nodded in understanding and rested his hand over his stomach as it growled out of hunger, frowning when he remembered that he hadn’t eaten for a while.
“Hungry? Me too, i’ll order us something to eat. Are you okay with pizza or would you like something else?”
“Yeah, I haven’t eaten since lunch time. I left Araqiel before we ate again. I’d rather not eat too much before bed. Isn’t there just something quick we can have here?” Sungmin asked and Leeteuk let out a chuckle as he stood from the sofa, pulling Sungmin with him and over to the kitchen. Leeteuk opened the fridge and motioned for the younger to look inside. The inside of the fridge was empty with the exception of several small bottles of blood on the top shelf, a bowl half full of rice on the middle and a small carton of milk in the door.
“You see, there is one issue with that idea my dear cousin” Leeteuk started and moved away from the fridge to one of the cupboards before opening the door. “Kyuhyun doesn’t eat. He physically cannot stomach most human food, the food he can eat makes him sick if he eats too much of it so he sticks to a liquid diet. The rice is left over from yesterday when Heechul was here and the milk is mine. But other than a packet of rice in the cupboard there isn’t any food here”
“That’s strange.. I thought even demons needed to eat. And why does he keep blood in the fridge? I thought it was supposed to be better warm?” Sungmin asked, scrunching his nose up at the contents of the fridge before he closed the door. Leeteuk laughed softly and pushed himself to sit on the counter.
“Some demons can eat, some eat a lot, kind of like Kyuhyun’s brother. But some, like Kyuhyun, can’t. Nobody really knows why if i’m honest. It’s something i’ve gotten used to now though. I just buy food as and when I need it if i’m staying here for more than a few hours” Leeteuk paused raising an eyebrow to his cousin as he thought about his last question. “You’re very curious all of a sudden. He keeps his blood in the fridge because it keeps it fresh, just like any human would do with food”

“Well like you said, treat him normally or like a friend. You forget that I don’t associate with demons, I only know the things my father and others in my realm have told me. I honestly expected his house to be a dark damp mess but it’s amazing” Leeteuk smiled at Sungmin’s cluelessness towards demons before he looked back to his phone.
“You have much to learn about him, I can assure you. If you don’t want pizza I can cook us some rice, it’s not much but it won’t make you feel uncomfortable when you go to sleep”
“Rice will be fine, thank you.”

After cooking the rice Leeteuk placed it into two bowls and walked back over to the sofa to hand one to Sungmin before taking a seat beside the younger. The two of them ate in relative silence and within minutes their bowls were empty. Leeteuk took the bowl from Sungmin and set them both in the kitchen sink before moving back to the sofa. He looked up when he heard Kyuhyun mumbling in his sleep, the quiet voice brought a smile to his face but a worried look to Sungmin’s, making the older angel laugh.
“He sometimes talks in his sleep, it’s nothing to worry about. I’ll grab a pillow and a spare blanket for you so you can get some sleep, you look like you need it.” Leeteuk walked back into the bedroom and picked the blanket up off the floor, covering Kyuhyun up once again despite the younger already kicking it off once. He grabbed a spare pillow from his side of the bed and a blanket from the closet and took them through for Sungmin.
“I’ll be just through there if you need anything. But don’t worry you’ll be perfectly safe here. I’ll see you in the morning”
“Thank you, Leeteuk. Goodnight” Sungmin sat on the sofa once Leeteuk had gone into the bedroom, closing the door behind himself. He felt somewhat awkward being in Kyuhyun’s apartment at that time of the night but he felt relieved that Leeteuk was there too, even if he was in the other room sleeping with Kyuhyun. He put the pillow at one end of the sofa and laid down before pulling the blanket over himself. Over the next couple of hours Sungmin drifted in and out of sleep, not managing to stay asleep for more than twenty minutes at a time before he awoke again. He sighed and opened his eyes, choosing to stare up at the ceiling until exhaustion got the better of him and he finally fell asleep.

The next morning when Leeteuk awoke he stretched before opening his eyes, a smile instantly stretching across his face when he saw Kyuhyun looking back at him. He reached out and pulled Kyuhyun closer, wrapping an arm lazily around the younger as he pressed a kiss to his forehead.
“I’m sorry about last night. I scared him, I didn’t mean to” Kyuhyun mumbled quietly, tracing his fingers over Leeteuk’s collarbone before resting his hand over the older’s heart. Leeteuk smiled softly and shook his head.
“It’s okay. Sungmin told me what happened, what he said. He shouldn’t have said that to you and he knows it now. I spoke to him after you had gone to sleep so he should be nicer from now on. He knows not to speak ill of your mother again too” he whispered and Kyuhyun nodded his head “What he said wasn’t true, Kyuhyun. You know who your mother was, don’t let his words get to you, okay?”
“I know. I think everything else he had said throughout the night just built up and when he spoke about my mother in that way, I just snapped.” Kyuhyun leaned up from where he was curled against Leeteuk’s chest and he pressed a kiss to the older’s lips, giving him a soft smile before something caught his attention in the air. Kyuhyun sat up and inhaled before turning to Leeteuk and pulling a face. “What’s that smell?” he asked and Leeteuk pushed himself to sit up before grabbing his t-shirt and pulling it back on.
“Let’s go and see, it smells like breakfast” Leeteuk smiled as he took Kyuhyun’s hand and lead him out of the bedroom and into the living room.

When they reached the living room they glanced at each other before looking over to the kitchen where Sungmin was standing in front of the stove. The dining table was set for three with two glasses of orange juice placed by two sets of cutlery and two empty plates. In the third setting was a glass of blood and nothing more.
“Good morning, Sungmin” Leeteuk spoke softly and Sungmin turned around, giving the two a small smile, but Kyuhyun stayed silent and simply tightened his hold on Leeteuk’s hand.
“Good morning to you both. I hope you slept well. Take a seat, breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. Kyuhyun I hope it’s okay, I heated up your blood as close to body temperature as I could.”
“Thanks..” Kyuhyun shrugged as he and Leeteuk walked over to take their seats at the table. Sungmin walked over and placed the eggs onto the plates followed by some toast before he joined the two at the table.
“I had no idea you could cook, Sungmin. Have you been taking lessons?” Leeteuk asked with a chuckle and Sungmin smiled, nodding his head.
“Actually, yes. I woke up pretty early and wanted to try and make up for yesterday as well as thank you for letting me stay the night. Your key was on the table so I took it with me and went to buy everything I needed to make breakfast” he paused and looked up to see Kyuhyun sitting awkwardly across from him, his body obviously tense. “Kyuhyun, about last night. I want to apologise for what I said to you, it was rude, insensitive and just horrible of me to say. I hope you can forgive me,”

Kyuhyun looked back at Sungmin, giving a nonchalant shrug before he picked up the glass and took a small sip.
“Thank you for apologising, your apology is accepted. Just know this, if you ever insult or speak ill of my mother again, I will kill you”
“Duly noted. I promise, it will not happen again.”

After Leeteuk and Sungmin had finished eating Leeteuk cleared the table of plates, putting them in the sink for Sungmin to wash. No matter how much Leeteuk had protested Sungmin had insisted he washed the dishes, after all he was the one who decided to cook breakfast. Kyuhyun remained sat at the dining table with one foot resting on the chair and his chin resting on his knee as he stared down at the half empty glass of blood in front of him.
“Kyuhyun, are you okay?” Leeteuk asked and approached the younger before hugging him from behind. Kyuhyun leaned back and looked up, scrunching his nose up at the strange angle he was looking at his boyfriend from but he soon smiled when a kiss was pressed to his lips.
“I’m fine. Just tired.”
“Why don’t you go back to bed? I don’t need to go into work today and we have nothing planned. Get some more sleep” Leeteuk said softly but Kyuhyun shook his head.
“Sungmin is still here. I’ll go later when he goes home.” When Sungmin heard his name he looked up from drying the last of the dishes, setting it down with the rest on the counter before giving Kyuhyun a small smile. He would never admit it out loud but seeing how Kyuhyun and Leeteuk were together made him grateful that his cousin had found somebody to love.
“I don’t mind, Kyuhyun. If you’re tired you should get some sleep. I’ll be leaving soon anyway.” Kyuhyun sighed and drank the last of the blood in the glass, pulling a face at it’s taste before he got up from his seat and yawned.
“Okay, i’m going back to bed then. Thanks for breakfast, Sungmin. Although I would rather have just fed from Leeteuk this morning” Kyuhyun said with a pout, lowering his voice at the mention of feeding from the older angel, but his voice was heard clearly. Leeteuk chuckled when he noticed Sungmin visibly cringing and he pushed Kyuhyun’s back gently, guiding him towards the bedroom.
“I know where my bedroom is!” Kyuhyun whined in protest but he continued to allow Leeteuk to guide him into the bedroom before he turned around and captured the angels lips. Leeteuk blinked in surprise before he smiled and returned the kiss and hugged Kyuhyun tightly before he pulled back.
“Back to sleep, now” Leeteuk chuckled as Kyuhyun got back into bed and within moments his eyes were closed once again.

Leeteuk closed the bedroom door as he walked back through into the living room where Sungmin was sitting on the sofa writing a message on his phone. He looked up and smiled at his cousin before standing and slipping his phone back into his pocket.
“I’m going to go. Kyuhyun needs you to be with him right now and father wants me to come home. I don’t think I should have told him that I was attacked until he could see for himself that i’m alright”
“Probably not, but at least he can see for himself that you’re alright. Thank you for this morning, Sungmin. It’s nice to know that you’re trying to make things right. And he probably won’t admit it but I know Kyuhyun appreciated it too.”
“You’re welcome. But it’s the least I could do. I’ll see you later, go and be with your boyfriend” Sungmin smiled and Leeteuk couldn’t help but smile in return at the idea of his cousin finally accepting their relationship.

“Goodbye, Sungmin. I’ll see you soon.”

***

When Sungmin arrived back in Araqiel he pulled up the collar on his jacket in hopes that it would hide the bandage on his neck as he walked through the busy crowds. Every Thursday Araqiel held a market along the large street leading up to the palace. Citizens sold food, wine, clothing, and a variety of handmade items from their stalls before handing a quarter of the profits to the palace. Taxes in Araqiel were low in comparison to other realms. The Emperor wanted his citizens to live comfortable lives with minimal stress and having more money for themselves. Less time in their day worrying about taxes, kept everybody happy. As more and more people noticed the light prince approaching the palace Sungmin couldn’t help but greet them as they bowed their heads in respect for him. He looked up at the palace and sighed when he noticed the Emperor walking through the main courtyard.
“Better go and face the music” he mumbled to himself before walking through the gates. The Emperor turned his head towards the gate when he noticed one of his gardeners bow towards somebody other than him and he smiled when he finally saw Sungmin walking closer.
“Sungmin, you’re home! I’ve been expecting you all day”
“Hello father. I would have been home sooner but I made breakfast for the three of us. I told you I was alright, there’s no need to worry” Sungmin smiled and the Emperor nodded his head a little before pulling down the collar of his son’s jacket.
“I want you to go and get checked over by Dr Choi”
“Father i’m fine, really. Kyuhyun stopped them before they could do any damage. I’ve eaten and rested, other than my neck throbbing i’m perfectly fine”
“Even so, I want to be sure. Vampires in the human realm are filthy and some carry diseases. I won’t take no for an answer. Dr Choi is expecting you, now go. I’ll meet you in the throne room when you’re done” The Emperor urged and Sungmin sighed in defeat, knowing that no matter how much he protested, he would not get his father to change his mind.
“Yes, father.”

Sungmin made his way inside of the palace by one of the side doors leading into the west side of the palace and down the hallway towards the medical wing. The palace was quiet as a result of the market on the streets outside. It was the one day of the week the king allowed his staff to leave the palace for the day and ignore their duties. Only a small number of the staff remained inside, but the size of the palace meant the chances of Sungmin seeing them remained small. When he reached the medical wing, Sungmin headed straight through the reception room and knocked on the treatment room door before poking his head through.
“Hello? Is anybody here? I’m looking for Dr Choi” he called out softly as he stepped inside. The main treatment room was empty with the only two patients resting comfortably in side rooms for their privacy. “So much for ‘Dr Choi is expecting you’” he sighed to himself and shook his head as he turned to leave but a voice stopped him.
“My apologies, I was busy with paperwork. How can I.. Oh, sire, forgive me. Your father told me what happened, please, take a seat. I prepared everything in advance for your arrival”
“No need to apologise, I just presumed that nobody was here. I don’t want to bother you, i’m fine. My father worries too much” Sungmin smiled but Siwon shook his head before gently grabbing the princes’ wrist and leading him into one of the side rooms.
“It’s my job to take care of you, even if you feel alright i’m still going to check you over to be on the safe side. Now please my lord, take a seat on the bed and take off your jacket, and i’m afraid i’ll need you to your shirt a little too” Siwon smiled and rolled up the sleeves on his shirt before putting on his gloves. Sungmin sighed in defeat and ped his jacket, taking it off and setting it down beside himself on the bed as he swung his legs, hesitating for a moment before ing his shirt.

Siwon picked up his stethoscope and put the earpieces in his ears before giving Sungmin a smile and moving in closer.
“This will be a little cold” he cooed and Sungmin rolled his eyes before he in a sharp breath as the cold metal came into contact with his chest. Siwon chuckled to himself and fell silent to listen to the princes’ heartbeat. “Told you. Your heartbeat seems a little faster than it should be but that’s normal if you’ve walked back here. Now, I know you don’t like needles but I need to take a blood sample”
“Why? I don’t understand the fuss, really, i’m fine”
“You were bitten by a vampire, my lord. There have been a lot of reports of vampires in the human realm being infected with a virus deadly to both humans and angels alike. I’ve treated someone with flu like symptoms before but they soon deteriorated and without the vampire who caused the infection we were unable to save them. You are our future king, Sungmin” Siwon paused, looking Sungmin in the eyes with a soft smile “Your health and safety is my main concern above anything and anybody else.” Sungmin looked down as a faint blush dusted his cheeks. He would never admit it to anybody but the way the young doctor looked at him always had a habit of giving Sungmin butterflies. Siwon cleaned the area of Sungmin’s arm where he was to draw blood before preparing the needle, making the prince visibly tense.
“Relax, my lord, just look at me if it makes it easier” Siwon hummed in concentration as he lined up the needle with Sungmin’s vein. Sungmin took a breath and watched Siwon’s face before he felt a sharp prick. “The needle is in, now was that so bad?” he asked, making the prince pout.
“Looking at your dumb face didn’t make it easier” Sungmin mumbled under his breath, intending for his words to go unheard as Siwon turned briefly to pick up the tube, but his words were heard by the young doctor and he couldn’t help but smile.

After a couple of minutes Siwon withdrew the needle from Sungmin’s arm and held a small ball of cotton to the mark before he set the tube down on the table.
“I’ll have the results of your blood test by the end of the day, you don’t need to come back down here though, i’ll come and find you. Before you go I just want to have a look at your neck and make sure everything is alright, if that’s okay with you, my lord”
“Of course. I don’t really have a choice in the matter since you’re following my father’s orders, so you might as well”
“I’m doing this for you. Your health is important to me,” Sungmin blushed again and a small smirk appeared on Siwon’s face before he pressed his hand to the prince's’ forehead “Are you feeling alright, my lord? You’re looking very flushed all of a sudden”
“I’m fine, please do your job” Sungmin pouted before scowling at Siwon. Siwon stood from his seat and gently removed the bandage from Sungmin’s neck, making him flinch as the bandage pulled at the dried blood but he relaxed quickly, feeling reassured in Siwon’s hands.
After cleaning up the wound Siwon applied a smaller, fresh bandage before patting Sungmin’s leg with a smile.
“As good as new, my lord. That should heal up nicely”
“Thank you” Sungmin smiled in return, his smile soon turning into a small frown "Siwon.. do you think I'm a good person? He asked, earning a side glance from the other man before he moved to stand in front of the prince.

"Of course you are, my lord. You are one of the kindest, sweetest and most caring people I have ever met. Why, has somebody said otherwise?"

"Not in so many words. The other day when I came to see you, after Leeteuk's boyfriend attacked me... that was my fault. And then again last night I almost got myself hurt again because of my big mouth. I've been taught all of my life that we should fear demons, that they are nothing more than evil creatures but Kyuhyun is different, I don't know how but he is. I judged him before I even properly spoke to him and now I think he hates me for it"

"I treated him when Leeteuk brought him here a few days ago, Leeteuk cares for him greatly. Honestly my lord, all that you can do is try and make it up to him. I'm sure he will let you"

"It's hard for me to trust him. But I want to, if Leeteuk trusts him then I know he is worthy of my trust" Siwon nodded his head gently as Sungmin spoke before he squeezed the prince's hand gently.

"Treat him as an equal. You will soon learn that you and him are not that different"

"Kyuhyun said the same thing last night..."

"Trust in yourself, my lord. And trust in him" Siwon smiled and Sungmin found himself looking down at their joined hand before he looked up to meet Siwon's eyes. Their faces were just inches apart and Sungmin closed the gap slowly as he pressed his lips against the doctor's before pulling back quickly with wide eyes. Siwon blinked at the sudden action.

"I.. I'm sorry. Forgive me, I didn't.." Sungmin mumbled, failing to notice the smile on Siwon's face and before he knew it Siwon's lips were once again pressed against his own, the other man's hands cupping his face gently. Sungmin closed his eyes and welcome the kiss but before he could react Siwon pulled back.

"No need to apologise, my lord. You don't know how long I have wanted and waited for a reason to do that"

"You have? Why wait for a reason?"

"You are our prince, Sungmin. Our future king. You are expected to marry a princess and continue your bloodline. Your father would never approve of anything less"

'Well.. my father doesn't have to know.. It can be our secret. "

Sungmin hummed softly as he ran his fingers across Siwon's tie and a small smirk graced his lips.
"To be honest… I’ve liked you for a while now, even when you were still training to be a doctor. I’ve always kept it to myself because, well, I didn’t expect the feeling to be returned”
“Well then, aren’t you glad that your father sent you down here to see me today? Just don’t make it a habit of getting hurt to give you an excuse to see me” Siwon chuckled and Sungmin smiled as he gave a gentle tug on Siwon’s tie to pull him closer before their lips met once again. Siwon smiled into the kiss rested one hand on Sungmin’s jaw, his thumb brushing over the prince's’ cheek as they kissed, while his other hand rested on the prince’s thigh. Sungmin kept a tight hold on the doctor’s tie as if to keep him from ever pulling away, but when he heard the main door to the treatment room open he quickly pulled back, his eyes focused on the door.
“Someone’s here” he whispered with a hint of a whimper in his voice when Siwon’s lips moved down his jaw and to his neck. But when the voice spoke again Siwon pulled back suddenly and covered his mouth to stop himself from making a sound.
“Sungmin, are you still here?” The Emperor called out and Sungmin cleared his throat a little, making sure they were both decent before he called out to his father.
“Yes, father. Just through here. Dr Choi is just finishing my check up,” Sungmin bit his lip and let out a small laugh, composing himself just before his father walked in but nothing could hide the prince’s flushed face
“Dr Choi, I trust everything is okay with my son?” The Emperor asked and Siwon smiled as he gave a gentle nod of his head.
“Yes, my lord. I’ve taken his blood to test for any kind of infection, cleaned and dressed the wound on his neck and tested his vitals. Everything seems normal. I’ll have the results of his blood test in a couple of hours”
“That’s good to hear, thank you doctor” The Emperor smiled and Sungmin returned his father's smile, albeit rather awkwardly. “Are you sure you’re feeling alright, my son?” he asked as he studied Sungmin’s flushed face, but the prince nodded in reassurance.
“I’m fine, father. It’s just really warm in here, that’s all. Can I go now, Dr Choi?”
“Of course, my lord. I’ll come and find you when I have the results from your blood test but I have no reason to doubt that everything will come back clear”
“Thank you, doctor. Come on Sungmin, we have a meeting to attend, i’ll wait for you outside” Emperor Lee said softly and Siwon bowed as he left the room. Sungmin sighed and pushed himself off the bed before pulling on his jacket and running his fingers through his hair. Siwon waited until the Emperor was out of the room before he kissed the young prince again, his lips lingering for as long as possible before he pulled away for a final time.
“I’ll find you in a few hours. Make sure your schedule is free” Siwon smiled and Sungmin nodded, stealing one last kiss before he left the room to join his father.

***

It was late afternoon by the time Kyuhyun awoke again. The sun was low in the sky casting an orange glow over the city and the prince frowned at the strength of the sun. Even at that time of the day, it still had the power to hurt his eyes. He sat up in bed and put on his glasses before looking around the room and towards the door which had been left open.
“Leeteuk?” he called out softly and listened for a reply, but when he failed to get one, he got out of bed and walked through to the living room where he found a note on the table.

Good afternoon sleepy head. I hope you feel better.
I’ve gone to pick some things up from home but then i’ll be back. I went to the clinic earlier and had them take my blood, it’s ready and waiting for you in the kitchen, I figured you would be hungry so I thought ahead just incase. Take it easy and relax, i’ll be back with you soon.
I love you
Leeteuk x

Kyuhyun smiled and set the note back down on the table before his stomach rumbled and he sighed, pressing his hands to his stomach.
“I’m glad he thinks ahead” he smiled and made his way into the kitchen before picking up the glass of blood Leeteuk had prepared for him. He quickly heated up the glass of liquid in the microwave before taking a seat on the sofa and curling his legs beneath himself. In the six months since he started dating Leeteuk, Kyuhyun’s life had changed for the better. His moods were better, he was sleeping better, he had more energy and for the first time in over ten years he could look forward in life. It didn’t take long for the glass in his hand to be empty and he set it down on the table before he heard the key turn in the lock and Leeteuk walked through the door.
“Ah you’re awake. I see you found my note.. And your dinner” Leeteuk smiled as he pushed the door closed and dropped his bag down on the floor beside the table. Kyuhyun smiled and gave a small nod before patting the seat beside himself on the sofa.
“Thank you. I woke up hungry so i’ll be okay for the time being. What did you get from your apartment?” he asked as Leeteuk took a seat beside him and pressed a kiss to the younger’s head.
“Just some more clothes and anything else I might need. I didn’t think you would mind so I just thought i’d stay here until you’re feeling better” Leeteuk said softly and took Kyuhyun’s hand before linking their fingers together. Kyuhyun smiled and shook his head.
“I would never mind you staying here. You can stay for as long as you’d like and as much as you like. I love having you here because when you’re not here, I get lonely. I hate how much I miss you when you’re not here” he pouted and Leeteuk smiled as he shifted closer. Kyuhyun smiled and rested his chin on the angels shoulder before pressing a kiss there.
“I don’t like being away from you much either, if i’m honest. By the way Kyuhyun. Thank you for giving Sungmin a chance this morning. It meant a lot to me and I know he appreciated it. Hopefully he will think in future before he speaks”
“It was the easier and more logical thing to do. On one hand I could give him a chance and accept his apology. And on the other hand I could have killed him where he stood. I made the decision that meant I wouldn’t lose you”
“Thank you. I’m so grateful. And I promise, i’m yours always” Leeteuk smiled and pressed a kiss to Kyuhyun’s temple before the younger tilted his head a little to kiss the angels lips.
“Of course you’re mine. I wouldn’t let anybody else have you. And this..” Kyuhyun paused as he moved his hand to pull down the collar of Leeteuk’s shirt, exposing the demon prince’s mark “Means you are mine and only mine” he smirked a little before leaning forward and pressing his lips over the small, faint triangular mark, earning a shiver from the angel.

For the next couple of hours Kyuhyun and Leeteuk remained on the sofa together wrapped in each others embrace. Leeteuk was sat watching the television while Kyuhyun traced patterns on the angels thigh with his fingers, ignoring whatever show was on the screen in favour of paying as much attention to the older as he could.
“If I could change anything right now, we would both be in my bed” Kyuhyun hummed and he nuzzled Leeteuk’s shoulder, earning a chuckle from the angel. Leeteuk wrapped his arms around Kyuhyun and squeezed him gently while pulling him closer.
“This need for you to rest is killing you, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is. Is it too much to ask to just be able to sleep with my own boyfriend?” he pouted and Leeteuk couldn’t help but smirk a little.
“You sleep with me every night”
“Yah! You know what I mean. Do I need to make myself clearer?” Kyuhyun asked before shifting closer to Leeteuk’s ear “I want to you” he whispered lowly, smirking proudly when he noticed Leeteuk tense and bite his lip. “See, i’m not the only one suffering here”
“That isn’t fair and you know it. You know what it does to me when you lower your voice like that! It’s y, so stop it. Just hold on for a few more days and I promise we can spend all weekend in bed if you like” Leeteuk said with a smile and Kyuhyun nodded.
“All weekend in bed? Hm, i’m holding you to that.”
