Disclaimer: I don't own GW. I'm poor. These ficlets are for entertainment only. Beware....here you will find mention of NCS, some lemon, yaoi, and something that may offend you. If you can't deal, don't read. These are some things I have become stalled on and am hoping for inspiration. HELP!
Treize stared at the still figure on his bed. She seemed very small and he felt a surge of protective instinct. He would not lose this one, he swore silently. Yet, the odds were stacked against the King. Her country was in ruins because of him, his Generals' chosen were somehow related to her and their first meeting left a great deal to be desired in the area of civility. Treize pushed a stray strand of hair out of her face, once more marveling at how young and untroubled she looked when asleep. The King's enjoyment was interrupted by a loud pounding on his door.
"Your highness, are you alright?" Lady Une. Of course. Who else could spoil such a tender moment? The pounding continued and grew louder. Treize barely had time to cover Ashi and grab a robe before the door crashed inward. Une charged in, sword drawn, followed by two of his best Captains, Camus and Miklotov. The looks on their faces would keep the King laughing for many years to come.
Ashi, at the sound of the crash, had sat straight up causing the sheet to fall into her lap. All three intruders gaped at the site. Une in horror, Camus and Miklotov in embarrassment. The soldiers then quickly turned their backs sure King Treize was in no danger. Especially since the young woman was tied to the bed. Ashi tried to cover herself, a blush reaching all the way down her neck. There was no way to hide the events of the night.
"What is the meaning of this intrusion, Lady?" The King thundered. Bad enough she'd awoken his young lover, but to embarrass her in this way was unforgivable.
"I heard you shout, My Lord, and thought you might be in trouble." Une tried to bow and shoot daggers at the young woman on the bed.
Ashi found herself shivering under the gaze of the older woman. Not even thinking about it, she ducked behind Treize and gripped his shoulders. She hated doing it; hated the fear the action showed, but she saw her death in that woman's eyes. It would be slow, incredibly painful, and involve men doing things to her that would be very unpleasant.
Sensing the young woman's discomfort, Treize decided to forgo being polite and just send his uninvited guests away.
"I appreciate the concern Lady, but as you can see I am fine. Please return to your chambers." It was a cold dismissal. Une turned on her heal and stormed out. Camus and Miklotov started to join her when Treize stopped them. "You two put my door back as best you can and stand guard the rest of the night. I do not wish to be disturbed again."
The two captains nodded and wrestled the door back into place. No sooner had it been fit back in place than Ashi abandoned her position and fled to the opposite end of the bed from Treize. The King chuckled softly as the young woman glared at him.
"And what do you find so funny?" she almost growled.
"Not you my dear lady," the King assured. "The look on my Captains' faces. It was truly priceless."
A reluctant smile graced Ashi's lips as she remembered. Treize hated to spoil the moment; after all, they were finally agreeing on something, even if it was just two men's humiliation. However, she would need her sleep for tomorrow. Gently pulling on the rope, he forced the young woman back to his side of the bed.
Seeing the glare directed at him, Treize softly whispered a sleep spell and caught her when she collapsed. Yes, tomorrow would be a very busy day, but it would make him very happy. His Generals would also find joy in the day's events. Wrapping his arms around his young love, the King slipped into a peaceful rest.
End Part 2
I still need to get to the stones for this part. Damn, I'm slow.
