It had been a week since they started the trip to Tiberoa and Dart was trying everything he could to avoid the king. He'd even gone far enough to staying out till the light in their cabin window was out before sneaking in.

What he was not prepared for though tonight as he did this was to be caught by two arms after he'd taken his armor off for the night. A hand over his mouth kept him silent as that soft voice came close to his ear. "Your avoiding me, why Dart?" Of all the people it was the King. Dart stood still as the hand was removed from his lips before attempting a lunge forwards. This ended up with him sprawled across the king's bed making the light brown haired man raise a brow at the ship lurching on the waves.

The blond Dragoon sat up shifting to glare at the king before speaking in a soft hiss. "Because of this, I love Lavitz damn it!" Those blue eyes glaring at him were positively stunning and for a moment Albert said nothing merely staring in them before a small smile would come. "A pity that's all the love you have Dart? You will never love again then is that it?" Said Albert as he walked towards the bed slowly his cape hitting the floor. Dart stared at the garment on the floor which Albert the chance needed to snag those wrists pinning the blond to the bed underneath him.

For a moment Dart did nothing looking stunned then he bucked and kicked. Such defiance Albert was ready for. Wrapping his knees around the blond's thighs he did nothing simply letting the wild hearted Dragoon wear himself out. It was two hours of this before slowly Dart realizing he could not simply toss the king off slowed to mild jerks which the king did not give him an ounce of mercy with.

Albert was prepared for many things however seeing the strong male underneath him crack suddenly was not one of them. He knew he had to be firm yes, but was he too firm? For a moment Albert did nothing watching the tears in silence before Dart glared speaking softly. "It hurts to love when their taken from you, or they die needlessly.. I hate you..It's your fault he died. If you'd stood up to them and resisted.." Dart started saying before shaking his head turning to the side to stare at the wall.

"Is that what you think happened? Dart I gave myself up to protect women and children in Basil. If I had not done such a thing Sandora would have attacked them while the Knights were away in the seventh fort and at Hoax.." Said Albert gently before releasing those wrists to rest one hand against Dart's face turning it so those eyes were looking at him once more.

"I had to protect my people from war Dart, It's the same thing Lavitz would have done and I know it is." Said Albert leaning down so he was inches from Dart who stared at him eyes wide.

"Why do you think I and Lavitz have the same magic when in Dragoon form?" Asked Albert slowly unwrapping his legs from the blond's thighs to sit beside him.

Dart said nothing a thoughtful look coming before he shook his head turning on his side to stare at the king curiously now.

"Because we both wish to protect the ones we love and care about.. Our allies in combat and our friends alike.." Albert said one hand reaching to rest in golden locks fingers tracing a lock of hair curiously.

Dart tensed up as those fingers slowly stroked through his hair his lips curving in a frown. "Why me, why not Rose or Shana?!"

"Because you are the last thing that Lavitz asked me to take care of Dart. His last wish was to take care of everything. He looked at you as he said it did he not?" Albert was quiet then as Dart thought about it. Could Lavitz have meant that? To look out for him? He shook his head stubbornly once more "No he meant with the Dragoon spirit that had to be it.. He must have known that you would get it.." Said Dart as the king chuckled softly.

"What's so funny?!" Dart said sitting up his eyes narrowed hands balled into fists.

"My sweet flame if there is one thing I can assure you of it was the fact he had no clue I was going to receive the spirit.." Albert's voice was soft on Dart's ears as the man shook his head. No Lavitz had not known he would get it at all. It was Fate that knew and fate that gave it to him. Fingers brushed through blond hair as the king leaned close once more. "Stop fighting me Dart, have you not suffered enough through Lavitz's death alone?" Said Albert one hand moving to rest at the back of Dart's neck fingertips just barely touching the Flame Dragoon's neck. Dart trembled slightly his eyes sinking closed. He was lonely and the king was right there. Warm, alive, and tempting how could he stay loyal to Lavitz like this? Would Lavitz forgive him his weakness?

Slowly as if giving Dart the Chance to escape his grip the king leaned closer light brown eyes closing as he spoke quietly his lips inches from Dart's lips. "This is your last chance to protest my sweet flame.." That voice that came from Albert was so soft so loving.

Dart shivered his lips parting before he felt another pair over his. Gentle, soft and subtle as the wind when warmed by the sun. He couldn't fight it at all his arms curling around that slim waist as he felt himself being kissed by the King. Dart gasped when the king latched to his neck with teeth and lips blue eyes sinking closed as he curled his arms around the king's neck fingers weaving into brown hair. He didn't want to be alone any more in a world that was so confusing sometimes. Dart turned his head into the King's shoulder as the man held him feeling those fingers soothe the ache from his back. The scent of roses was a hard thing to fight when tired and the young Dragoon fell asleep against the king that night.

Albert was quiet a book in one hand Dart sleeping against him, the king was surprised the young man could sleep with candle light flickering. In a way though the king was amused. It had been a while since he'd been able to read and he was enjoying the peace and quiet.

Not a sound came from the king as he read his book and when Dart woke up he found one arm curled around him and in the king's other hand he saw the book. Dart stared for a moment at the sleeping king's face curiously watching him wondering if the man truly was asleep or if it was a trick. When he moved and the king did not stop him Dart paused wonderingly looking at the man. Dart made an interesting discovery that amused him. The king had fallen asleep with his hair in a ponytail. This was an interesting thing, slowly Dart let one hand go towards it cautiously watching the king's features. His fingers slowly and carefully worked that hair lose letting it tumble free of it's holder. Still there was no movement from the king. At this point Dart relaxed letting his fingers comb through the soft locks gently. He was so enthralled with what he was doing Dart missed the king's eyes opening staring at him. When Dart looked back the king quickly closed his eyes before feeling those fingers in his hair once more. He felt the bed sink slightly as the blond lay next to him. It was that moment the king twisted around surprising the Flame Dragoon who let out a loud yelp falling off the bed. Albert sat up chuckling softly putting his book aside. He'd more then likely keep reading it later when Dart was busy doing something else. When Dart got back on the bed his lips were turned down in a pout. That didn't last long though due to the king's influence. He'd catch the Flame Dragoon around the waist pulling the golden haired male closer his lips kissing the top of his head.

"I am sorry my Sweet Flame.. I could not resist though when you looked so enthralled.." Albert smiled as those arms slowly curled around him a slight mumble coming from the man in his arms.

Dart couldn't help but pout a little, the king shocked him after all and he couldn't understand why the man was chuckling one moment and apologetic the next.

"Dart will you pout all day? I did apologize..." The King nuzzled the side of Dart's neck causing the Flame Dragoon to smile slightly before hiding his head once more.

"No, I won't this time." Said Dart his eyes closing as he settled against the King once more.

"Thank you my Sweet Flame.." Albert said slowly letting his fingers brush against Dart's back in a soothing manner.

Dart was quiet his fingers combing through silky strands of hair before the king found he was missing his hair tie and that it was around the Flame Dragoon's wrist. Gentle fingers combed through light brown hair as Dart settled against Albert's chest quietly. For a moment Albert was about to ask for the tie back but seeing how peaceful Dart looked with his fingers in that hair the king was disinclined to say anything.

He knew he was spoiling the younger male, but he could not resist when the younger looked at him with those peaceful eyes. So different from the normally hard determined eyes he normally had. Soft, gentle lit eyes gazed at the king before Dart tipped his head.

"Highness? Is something wrong?" Asked Dart his fingers stilling before Albert caught hold of that hand shaking his head kissing those fingertips.

"No my sweet Flame nothing is wrong, but what am I to do with you..." Albert said before smiling as Dart blinked confusedly.

"I don't understand Your Majesty, did I do something wrong?" Asked Dart his fingers curling against the king's hand who shook his head.

"No Dart you did nothing wrong. My Sweet Flame it's just I spoil you so letting you do that." Albert smiled once more his lips resting against Dart's neck letting his eyes close. "Mm the ship will make Port tomorrow I think, I do not believe I wish to get out of bed today.." Albert continued as Dart wrapped his arms around the King's waist letting his head rest on the man's shoulder.

"I don't want to get out of bed either, but I know I'll get anxious just laying around.." Dart said before the King chuckled his fingers tangling in golden hair his lips parting as he nipped Dart's neck.

"Then My Sweet Flame I shall have to keep you busy won't I?" Said Albert slowly nibbling up Dart's neck making the blond shiver.

"I see your point Highness.." Dart said letting his eyes close slowly relaxing letting the king do as he wished.

"Dart have you eaten yet?" Asked Albert drawing back looking to the blond who shook his head silently.

"Why not?" Asked Albert as Dart raised one brow to the king his head tilting slightly.

"Because I just woke up." Dart said amusement showing as he eyed the king. Albert raised his head before nodding slowly.

"Why don't you go get something to eat then?" Asked Albert quietly letting Dart go.

Dart wouldn't realize it till much later, but Albert was testing him in a way. The bird who flies who returns is the bird that wishes to be held. Dart did not disappoint either. When he returned with something for Albert he found the King had returned to his book patiently waiting. Seeing Dart returned Albert smiled gently reaching out.

"Welcome back, how was it out there?" Asked Albert letting the red armored one get comfortable once more.

"It was ok, a little cloudy maybe some rain.. The birds were flying around though now that I think about it so maybe just a little rain coming.." Said Dart looking to the King quietly.

"Mmm I see, you hate the rain don't you?" Albert spoke softly his arms wrapping around the Flame Dragoon who shrugged slightly.

"Maybe a little, but I never mentioned that to you so how did you know?" Asked Dart curiously as the king chuckled softly his hands resting over that black shirt that Dart wore.

"Simple your tenser then usual as if trying to ward off something unpleasant." Said Albert making Dart huff softly as he curled into the king.

"Yes I hate it, reminds me of him.." Said Dart looking slightly annoyed.

"Does it bother you to think of him?" Albert was curious now his head tilting as he watched the Flame Dragoon.

"Yes! There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I don't.." Dart trailed off looking down before shaking his head starting to get up when the king pulled him back down.

"Dart, don't run from me please?" Albert could kick himself after that line of questioning. How could he not think that Dart would be in pain after that? Albert tangled his legs with Dart's legs who raised one brow at this tactic shifting slightly.

"Highness I'm not going anywhere other then a bath.." Dart said quietly his head tilting back from the King. Albert was not to be undone though skillful fingers working up that shirt Dart wore before the Flame Dragon gasped going limp against the king his eyes clenched shut.

"Al, Albert!" Dart said his hands clenching in the king's shirt his teeth clenched on the hem on the side.

A soft chuckle came from the king before he'd let his hand slide down that back teasing the skin with his fingernails gently. Dart groaned his head turning slightly the hem of the king's shirt dropping from his lips. When one of the king's wandering hands slid lower Dart froze stiffening attempting to sit up when the king rolled reversing their positions staring down at the Flame Dragoon who frowned slightly.

"Albert what are you doing.." Asked Dart looking slightly nervous at the look in those brown eyes.

"Want to find out? I'm curious about something, in combat you can get quite loud.. I wonder how loud you can get in bed.." Albert said his lips drawn in a soft smirk as Dart stared his eyes widening.

Albert was silent staring Dart right in the eyes his own narrowing slightly. Dart had once said he wasn't a country to be taken over, but the king sorely disagreed at this point. He wanted to take the Flame Dragoon heart and soul never to let go. Fingers shifted as Albert gripped the Flame Dragoon's wrists pinning them down.

"My Sweet Flame I will possess you, and I shall keep you without letting go.." Albert said as he lowered his head his lips inches from Dart's who stared unblinking for a moment. Was it too forward? Was he moving too fast? Albert hesitated as Dart stared before a slow hesitant nod came from the blond beneath him.

Slowly Dart's arms curled around Albert's neck a quiet sign that the Flame Dragoon wanted him to continue. That he was giving some form of Consent to what was about to transpire. The hesitant nod from the Flame Dragoon as the king stared at him made the king smile brown eyes closing.

"My Sweet Flame, at first meeting I thought you were brash and hot headed.. Now though I see that is simply one part of you. Just like a fire you can be ferocious and dangerous, and then turn around and be warm and subtle when you want to be.." Albert said letting his hand splay over the blond's stomach as he let his fingers stroke that flesh there underneath that shirt.

Dart squirmed slightly letting out a soft gasp his teeth clenching as he turned his head to the side. Albert let his fingers go further down the belt the other always wore was the first to go. The Flame Dragoon shivered at the fingers that slid further. This was something new for both of them in a way. Albert though he wanted to claim the blond under him completely was unwilling to do it quickly. The king was teasing him and this brought a slight pout to Dart's lips making the king smile before wrapping his fingers around the Flame Dragoon's length slowly moving his hand up and down.

Dart's eyes widened as he bit his lip letting out a soft groan with each movement of that hand on him. The king was so very attentive paying close attention to each little sound and shiver his Sweet Flame made. When the king released Dart's wrists the Flame Dragoon's left hand clenched in the bedding the other clenched against his lips as he gasped his hips moving against the king's hand. Albert was having none of that though his hand catching Dart's right hand moving it away from that mouth.

"I want to hear you while I do this.." Albert said staring Dart right in the eyes as he let his thumb slide over Dart's length slowly making the Flame Dragoon shudder

It was so hot all of a sudden for him as if an emotion he'd never felt was about to rip through him as Dart turned his head to the side letting out a loud cry of pleasure. Albert could almost see the pleasure on Dart's face but it was hidden by something almost like curiosity.

Albert's hand stilled making Dart gasp and cry out his hand gripping the King's arm as Albert spoke "You never did this with.." Albert trailed off as Dart shook his head his eyes tearing up.

"Please.. Please Albert I need.." Dart trailed off as Albert covered his lips with his own his hand over that length starting to move again quicker this time.

Dart wanted it, no he needed this more then anything. That rush of pleasure singing through his veins. It was like being told he was alive! Fingers clenched over the king's arm toes curling as Dart threw his head back letting out a howl of pleasure.

The King was right, when he was in bed Dart could get very loud. The Flame Dragoon could also get very warm indeed when he was in the middle of something physical. Albert chuckled before bringing his hand to his lips his tongue darting out to lick the appendage tasting it, before looking to Dart who stared at him wide eyed.

"What.. I told you I was curious.." Albert said before shifting slightly letting himself lay next to the panting blond who curled into him under the covers. The only thing Dart wore was that black shirt nothing more which amused Albert who let his fingers drag over the shirt.

"I should have taken that off you as well.." Said Albert before Dart tipped his head gripping the hem of the king's shirt giving a tug.

"Your wearing more then me..." Said Dart making Albert smile.

"I am aren't I? Shall I remove something?" Asked Albert his hands moving to his own shirt as he got rid of it letting the offending garment lay on the floor.

Dart raised one brow before sliding his arms around Albert's neck curling into the heat the king's flesh offered his eyes closing.

"Tired My Sweet Flame?" Albert's hand raised sliding down to rest over the curve of one hip his thumb moving over it gently as he watched Dart's face. It was practically glowing as the younger Dragoon yawned looking sleepy.

"A little, but what about you?" Asked Dart opening his eyes to look at the king who smiled slightly.

"Perhaps another time my little flame, when you are not so tired and I am not so hungry." Said the King a serene smile coming as he kissed the top of the flame dragoon's head. "Rest Dart.." Continued Albert watching as Dart closed his eyes, his arms curled around the wind dragoon's waist.
