As we walked down the stairs, I could tell that Donghae was a bit tense about this. Don’t get me wrong, it was very cute how he would hesitate to go down one step and then try to run back upstairs; but I really want us to just sit and talk with our fathers. There’s a lot we need to go over. Just as we were about to get to the last step, Donghae looked up at me with huge, round eyes and probably the cutest pout I’ve ever seen. “Hyukkie.” He said sweetly.

Don’t falter Hyukjae. Don’t lose.

“What is it Hae?”

Donghae’s bottom lip started to quiver. It took all of my power to not kiss him right there. (That’s a lot of power, people.) “Do I have to do this right now?” I almost melted with the way he was looking at me. But I had to remain in control here. My mind and heart were really fighting against each other right now. My heart was telling me that I shouldn’t force my Hae to do this; but my brain said that it’s the smart thing to do so that he can get it over with. I sighed heavily, deciding that listening to my brain would necessarily be the smartest thing to do. “Hae…As much I don’t want to see you upset or anything, we should get this over with now. And even if you don’t want to talk with your father, at least show him that you still love or care for him in some way. Your Appa is hurt aswell Donghae. In my eyes, I believe that you need him and he needs you.”

His eyes reflected a bit of sadness. Good job Hyukjae, you just made your boyfriend upset. “Okay.” He mutters. We took the last step down and Donghae immediately wanted to turn back. “Hae.” I said sternly. Stop being so damn cute! How the hell am I supposed to be in charge if your being too adorable! Donghae hid behind me and held on to my shirt as we walked in the living room where our father’s were talking. The moment we walked in, they stopped talking and looked at us. I felt Hae tense up.

“Something wrong, you two?” My dad asks after a bit of silence. There was another pause before my dad sighed loudly. “Lee Hyukjae, I will read your mind.”

“We just wanted to talk to you guys about something. You know I don’t like when you read my mind.”

My dad flashed an evil smirk before relaxing on the couch. “That’s why I do it. Now what is it that you need to talk about? Donghae there seems a bit uncomfortable.” At the sound of Donghae’s name, I avert my gaze to Hae’s dad. He seemed out of it. Was he really that depressed without the angel by his side? All of a sudden, there was a small pang through my chest. Like, my chest really hurt. The pain was real. How is that even possible? “Are you okay, Hyuk?” Daejung Appa asked. I looked around and all three of them were looking at me. “Uhh, I’m fine. I was just a bit in pain is all.”

“Pain?” Hae asked. His face automatically changed to a worried expression. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

Was I okay? “Yeah. I’m sure.” I pulled Hae over to the recliner since that was the only seat left since our dads decided to hog up the other couches. “Hy-Hyukjae, wh-what are you doing?” He asked after we started making our way to the recliner. “Sitting. What does it look like?”

“The-There’s only one seat.”

“I know. You’re sitting on my lap.”

By now, our dads were laughing at the silly argument. You can’t blame Donghae though, he’s still shy no matter what happens. Before he could even try to fight back, I sat down and pulled him on my lap, making him squeak. I could tell that he was blushing, even without looking at him. How did I know? The back of his ears were as red as a tomato.

My dad cleared his throat, awkwardly shifting in his seat.“Well, now that that’s over with…what did you need?”

“We just wanted to go over some things about this ring again. Plus, Donghae has to say something later on.”

“I do?” He asked with a pout, turning around.

“Yup.”

I could sense that my dad’s patience was wearing thinner and thinner with every little argument Hae and I were having. It was actually very interesting watching him get irritated. This is why I’m always messing with him. A small silence filled the room until Daejung Appa decided to speak. “Well, how about we talk about that ring of yours Donghae?”

Hae nodded lightly before finding my hand, which was wrapped around his waist, and squeezing it. I could tell he was just a bit uncomfortable sitting here. “A-Appa?”

Everything kind of went quiet there. No one had expected Donghae to even look at his Appa, let alone talk to him. Daejung Appa immediately looked at Hae, making him flinch just a bit. “Yes son?”

“Th-Thank you. Thank you so much for ge-getting this back for me.”

Sungmin POV

------------------------------------

Heechul, GD, and I were finding it extremely odd how Donghae had left the room and not come back. He seemed pretty excited when he was leaving the room and stuff. I wonder what Yunho had told him. Well, guess it’s time for some questioning. “Yunho!” I yelled over the very loud people. Maybe that’s why Hae left. Perhaps there were just too many people here for him too handle. I saw Yunho making his way over to me, when I looked up.

“Yes?”

“Where’s Donghae? After you told him something, he just kind of walked – well, bounced – out of here.” He just smiled and shook his head. I wish I could read minds like Hyuk and TOP. “Well?” GD asked after he didn’t say anything.

“Hyuk woke up, came here, and needed to talk to Donghae without a big crowd of people; so he asked me to tell Donghae to go to my room. We know how Donghae is. He missed Hyukjae so he kind of, like you said, bounced out of here. He was really happy to hear that Hyukjae was okay and wanted to see him. To be honest, I don’t know what they’re doing right now. I’m just praying to all of my gods, goddesses, and titans that they’re not ing in my room.”

“Those two? ing in your room?” Heechul scoffed. I couldn’t help but agree. “Please, Hyukjae wouldn’t do anything that could possibly hurt our Donghae.” Yes. I call him our Donghae because I believe that I have taken unofficial custody of possibly the cutest teenager in this whole entire world. Well, if you don’t count that Choi Minki character. He’s just…God! He’s so cute! “He may not have admitted it yet; but you, myself, GD, Heechul, and every single last person in this room, including Junsu, can see that Lee Hyukjae is whipped over Lee Donghae.”

Yunho started laughing at the realization. Honestly, it’s cute how Hyukjae and Donghae protect each other. They show so much affection; and even if Donghae get’s shy and blushes all the time, you can see how much Hyukjae means to him with just the look in his eyes. I mean, who the hell are they hiding their love from? They’re practically made for each other. The whole damn world can see it. And if you can’t; you might as well call yourself ing blind.

Hyukjae POV

--------------------------------

“My ring can do all of that?” Hae asked his dad in pure disbelief. If he’s excited over all of the things the ring does, I wonder how he’ll respond to knowing I’m a – well – prince. His reaction will obviously be worthy of a picture.

His dad nodded. He looked like he was in deep thought about something before he said, “Actually Hae, let me see your ring for just a quick minute.” In which Donghae pulled the ring off of his finger and threw it at his dad. He took his ring off and put them next to each other in the palm of his hand. His was yellow and Donghae’s was blue. We all just stared for about a minute and a half. Just as I was about to ask what we’re supposed to be looking at, the rings started shining. It made a green-ish glow.

I don’t know why, but I was so hypnotized by it. It looked really…beautiful. Is everything these Angel’s do beautiful? Hae slowly got up from my lap and walked in front of his father. “Appa…What is this?”

“We’re bonding again. All we need to do is bond you with Yunho and we’re all set.” The rings stopped glowing and Daejung Appa held the ring out to Donghae. “Take good care of this, son. If you misplace it, there is no guarantee that I can ever get it back. Do you understand me?”

Donghae put the ring on his finger and nodded obediantly. He wrapped his arms around his Appa’s neck and hugged him tightly. “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I’m so sorry for ignoring you when I saw you and I’m so happy that you’re back. I love you Appa.” We all had to get over the initial shock. Donghae is just becoming so much more bolder. I’m happy to see that he’s growing out of that shy phase. His dad blinked a couple times before wrapping his arms around Donghae and smiling brightly. “I love you too, Hae.”

“Oh Donghae.” My dad called out. Oh god, this will not be good. My dad waited for this moment. I know he did. He wanted everyone to be happy before he broke the news.

“Y-Yes Jinhyuk Appa?”

“Hyukjae is a Vampire Prince.”

“DAD!!!”

“JINHYUK!!!

It looked like Donghae had just been told that he could adopt all of the fish in the world. His eyes were the hugest I’ve ever seen any kind of eyeball go, and his mouth was continuously opening and closing as if he wanted to speak; but couldn’t get anything. He resembles…a fish. He’s an Angel Fish!

…..I crack myself up.

I mean, honestly though: If you just found out you were dating the Vampire Prince, what would your reaction be like? Would you just sit there and be like, Oh yeah. It’s totally cool man. Or, I definitely won’t be in danger because es won’t hate that my boyfriend is a prince. Did you note the sarcasm? No? Okay.

He turned to look at me with his big eyes. I couldn’t help but laugh at how utterly adorable he looked like this. Maybe one day I can sneak a picture of him. Consider it revenge for the last picture we took together. Just because it’s my wallpaper doesn’t mean I’m fond of it. It would make my Donghae happy if he were to ever see it. “Hy-Hyukkie? A-Are they l-lying to me?”

“I honestly wish they were, Love.” I said as I walked up to him.

He went quiet again. This time his face was red. Was he blushing? What could have possibly happened to make him blush? Wasn’t he just in disbelief five seconds ago? “Hy-Hyukkie?”

“Yes Hae?”

“D-Does that mean…” He started playing with his thumbs and avoiding my gaze. He was looking anywhere but at me. Daejung Appa and my Appa were laughing. What the hell? Whatever happened to this serious meeting? I cupped Hae’s face so that he was looking directly at me. “Does it mean what?”

“If y-you’re a prince, a-and I’m your b-boyfriend…Does that m-make me a pri-princess?”

…….

…….

…….

“To be honest, I’ve never though of that. However, now that you’ve mentioned it to me; technically you are and technically you aren’t.”

The dads were on the floor laughing as if it was the funniest thing they’ve ever heard in their whole lives. While my dad was holding onto his stomach, Hae’s dad was drying away tears from his eyes. Donghae was still blushing hard and messing with his thumbs. Pretty soon, most likely with all of the noise, I hear multiple footsteps coming down the small spiral staircase. “Hyukjae? When did you get here?” Siwon asked. I was going to answer, but Heechul so rudely interrupted me. “Why are those two laughing as if the funniest thing in the world just happened?”

“I would tell you. Donghae wouldn’t like it though.”

Heechul and Sungmin seemed to be even more interested when they saw their ‘baby’ pouting and blushing. “Tell us Hyukjae!” Sungmin demanded.

“Well…first I have to tell you guys something. I don’t know how you’re going to take it, though.”

Junsu plops down on the couch where my dad was. My dad was currently sitting on the floor because he was obviously too lazy to get back up from his laugh attack. “What is it, bro?” Junsu asked. How the hell am I supposed to just come out and say, “I’m a vampire prince. It’s all good, right?”  and have them believe me? A loud gasp is heard from across the room. We all turn to TOP and Siwon. ! I completely forgot that they could read minds.

“Hyukjae!” TOP said sternly. “Your mind better be playing tricks on me.”

“I wish TOP.”

Siwon cleared his throat before asking, “Is it…true? Are you really a prince?”

Dead silence.

Those were the only two words you could use to describe the noise level. I’m pretty sure you could hear the cliché pin drop. When I say that everyone’s jaws were pretty much on the floor, I totally mean it. GD broke the awkward silence. “Ummm…Did I hear Siwon right? Because, I know…I know that I did not hear the word Prince and You are a in the same sentence. Right guys?” They all started to nod in agreement. They were obviously in denial.

“Guys…Believe me. I really am a prince. I didn’t find out until yesterday. That was one of the reasons why I fainted or whatever. There’s a whole lot of stuff that needs to be told and I’m telling you that we are really going to have to stay on our toes. No one knows what could happen.”

“Dude…” Junsu says. He stays quiet for about five seconds before speaking. “My best friend…is a ing prince!! That’s ing awesome! Are you going to have a crown or something?! Can I wear it? Please?”

“Umm, sure.” I say awkwardly. “If I ever get one, which I doubt I will, then you’ll be the third to try it.”

“Third?”

“Yes. Heechul doesn’t want to admit it, but he want’s to wear it really bad. Sorry for reading your mind Hyung. I just say a sparkle in your eyes at the word crown.”

After that, everyone started talking about what it’s like to be royalty. I still don’t know even though I am. I guess I still have a lot to learn though. Aish! I can already tell that being a prince is going to be the hardest thing in the world. Really, this is going to be a load of work. Plus I have to watch over Hae and make sure he’s okay. I can feel my headache coming on.

“Kids!”

It was Daejung Appa. We stopped talking to look at the huge smirk he had on his face. Were angels supposed to look that scary? Anyways, once he had our attention, he cleared his throat. “Everyone has to go home now.”

“What?! Why?!” We all asked at the same time. Just then, my dad decided to join in.

“We’ve let you guys off for a while now. But guess what…”

“What?”

“There are nine boys in this living room right now. And tomorrow…they’re ALL. GOING. TO. SCHOOL!”

That word hit me like a ing bag of ing bricks. I’ve been in and out of the hospital for my beloved boyfriend, Hae has just gotten his ring back, he’s going to be targetted by some random s I still don’t know about, I, along with my people, have found out that I am a ing Prince, and I still have to go to school and get an education?

. It. All.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we were walking out, Junsu wrapped his arm around my shoulder. “So what’s that thing Hae said?”

“Oh. When he found I was a prince, he wanted to know if he was going to be a princess.”

Junsu has never laughed harder in his life.
