[lilly0]

Title: The prince and his three knights: Chapter 18
Pairing: It's going to be a Jun-pairing, but I don't want to spoil it yet. It's either: Sakumoto, Matsumiya or Juntoshi. Jun/Aiba as brothers, and Aiba might get his own pairing.
Rating: up to R
Genre: royality!AU, romance, a bit fantasy,
Plot: To seal the new peace agreement Prince Jun is handed over as a gift to the neighbouring kingdom, the Highlands of Ice. There is a legend surrounding Jun and his sisters and brothers, namely that they hold a secret power which will only be awakened to the fullest when their owner falls in love.
Tired of reigning the Highlands of the Ice the king announces that one of his three sons - Sho, Satoshi and Kazunari - will inherit the throne. As all of them are good men, loyal and talented, he decides to put a challenge to it: Whoever wins the young mysterious prince's heart will marry him and get the throne.*
*Important sidenote: I will not make a love triangle or anything alike. Once Jun decided, he decided. Also Sho and the others won't play dirty.
Note: This is going to be really romantic, I promise :D and I promise you all (!) that the brothers won't treat each other like sh*t. It's super fun to write this! Please tell me what you think <3

 

It’s the first time since they got him back from Oguri’s residence that Jun joins everyone for the usual family dinner. As promised Jun pretends to be surprised over the surprise party Masaki organised for him, obviously not wanting to spoil their fun. Satoshi is relieved he was able to prepare him beforehand. A surprise of that kind would have probably overstrained Jun’s nerves. Knowing it now, he can relax and enjoy it.

 

The others were surprised to see Jun and blatantly happy to hear that he went outside and that he is ready to join them for dinner again. The only one missing tonight is Shun, as he didn’t want to give Jun too much distress by being there and remembering him of everything by his presence.

 

Jun however immediately catches on that he is missing. “Where his Shun-san?” he asks in worry. “Isn’t he with us anymore? Did he leave already? I hope he is well!”

 

Kazu chuckles lightly. “Told you,” he whispers, barely to be heard by anyone. Turning to Jun, he continues in a straight-forward manner. “He thought you might feel uncomfortable to see him.”

 

“Why?” Jun blinks. “He was a great support to me. If anything, I would like to thank him.”

 

“He will join us for breakfast tomorrow,” Koichi says in a matter-of-fact tone, and Jun smiles in relief.

 

“Say, Jun-kun,” Sho says after a while. “Satoshi told us you want to marry around Christmas? Like originally planned.”

 

Jun nods, smiling his bright and happy smile which Satoshi loves so much. “That’s the plan.”

 

“You could also wait for next summer,” Koichi offers. “As for me, I’m going by the sooner the better, but we all know you are a child of the sun, so we assumed summer would be preferred by you.”

 

“Strange,” Jun seems to be lost in his thoughts. “Oguri asked me the same when he came to the festival and tricked me into a talk.”

 

“So, you don’t prefer the summer?” Kazu says and skilfully dodges any angry remarks from the others about Oguri that way.

 

Jun smiles warmly. “I love summer and the sun, but for my wedding I prefer winter. If you, my king, rather wish for us to marry in summer, we’ll of course apply to your wishes.”

 

Satoshi nods in agreement, hiding his surprise by how eloquent of a talker Jun became over the last months. He really knows what to say and when to say it, it’s going to be a huge advantage to them once they will be ruling the country. Satoshi himself reacts too slow sometimes, and doesn’t see it necessary to talk, while Jun has the ability to use words particularly well. It warms Satoshi’s heart that they will complement each other well.

 

“Not at all,” Koichi says dryly. “If it wasn’t for the people, I would have suggested marrying tomorrow. Or in an hour. Now. But the country wants to see a celebration, worthy of a royal wedding. So, we’ll apply to your wishes and keep the date around Christmas.”

 

“Why winter?” Sho asks curiously.

 

Jun smiles brightly. “Winter is this country’s signature, its main season. I know that we have spring and summer now, but most of the months are snowy and cold months, and it won’t change. I want to celebrate my wedding in a fashion that’s typical for here, I want to show everyone that I’ve embraced this country’s culture and characteristic. Winter is when I came here, and when I find a new home, and fell in love, hence I would love to marry in winter.”

 

Sakamoto’s and his father’s look of astonishment and surprise is priceless. Wouldn’t Satoshi be that surprised and joyful about Jun’s words himself he would have laughed at their shocked faces. Sakamoto probably has still problems getting rid of the image of the helpless boy he has of Jun. After all he was able to stand his ground and fight against Oguri and his cousin while being captured there. Not many would have been able to do that.

 

Satoshi himself was all for a winter wedding too, mainly because he simply wants to marry Jun, the sooner he can hold him in his arm and announce him to be legally his, the better. He wants to point at Jun and call him his husband. That’s all he wants. Knowing that Jun’s motives go so deep though, touches him beyond words.

 

“I think an ice-crystal wedding decoration and a white carriage that will bring you to the wedding reception will be beautiful,” Masaki muses and gladly breaks the stunned silence. “White horses should pull the carriage.”

 

“And a cake in the shape of a crystal palace,” Sho adds.

 

“Yes!” Masaki exclaims, eyes shining. “Now that I think about it a winter wedding sounds so romantic. You’ll let me help with the organisation, Juny, won’t you? Please, please, please~”

 

Jun chuckles lightly. “There is no way I could stop you from it anyway.”

 

“Great,” Masaki exclaims. “I’m sure Sho-chan is going to help too.”

 

Sho-chan blushes at the new nickname, while Kazu snorts loudly and Satoshi secretly chuckles into his tissue.

 

~~~

 

Jun lets Satoshi lead him back to his room. On their way upstairs they see a well-known shadow in a small, almost hidden alcove. It’s Kazu. Satoshi blinks, seeing how he has wrapped his arm around a dark-haired woman – it seems to be Kiko – and how he kisses her heatedly.

 

Satoshi frowns, but before he can step forward to interrupt them, Jun pulls him back. “Don’t,” Jun smiles, snuggling against his arm and blinking up at him through his long eyelashes. “I know you want to scold him, but please… don’t?”

 

Satoshi has to fight hard not to immediately agree to everything Jun says now. When he looks like this he is the most endearing creature ever, and it’s impossible to say no to him. “But this is inappropriate,” he mumbles helplessly. “At least they should find a more private place.”

 

Jun chuckles. “But you have kissed me outside too, in front of other people.”

 

Satoshi smiles at his words “But we are engaged,” he points out with. “We are allowed to be officially inappropriate.”  He smiles when Jun chuckles. “It’s just, Kazu is such a skilled and good guy, but he has shady friends and so many affairs. If he would be more serious, he-“

 

“I know,” Jun smiles warmly. “But he is a good guy. Let him do things at his own pace. He is not like you or Sho-kun. And that’s okay, isn’t it?”

 

Satoshi lets Jun’s words sink in. He is always worried for his youngest brother. Kazunari has always been rather reckless and with his head through the wall, but he is witty and intelligent, more than Satoshi himself, and maybe even more than Sho. Trying to push him into a predefined direction and forcing things on him, won’t make him blossom and grow. “You are right,” Satoshi says with a smile. “He is lucky to have you as his friend.” They walk past Kazu and Kiko and proceed upstairs. “I wonder if Sho is going to be so lenient though,” he muses.

 

Jun giggles. “Sho-chan is busy with his own inappropriate thoughts, I think.”

 

Satoshi laughs at Jun’s words. “Maybe.”

 

“Who can blame him though,” Jun muses. “Masaki is good-looking and charming.”

 

"Talking about good-looking and charming..." Satoshi closes Jun’s door behind them before pulling him into his arms and kissing him. They have never shared such a long and intense kiss, and when they pull apart Jun’s cheeks are flushed and he is panting slightly. Seeing him like this Satoshi can’t wait for their wedding night.

 

For now however he has to hold back. Hence he pours Jun a glass with red wine. “I’m not used to alcoholic beverage,” Jun admits. “But I like the texture of the wine you have here. I might turn into a wine lover at one point.”

 

Satoshi chuckles. “And here goes my father’s dreams of having a new whisky buddy soon.

 

“Wine,” Jun argues, mock-stubbornly, and chuckles.

 

Satoshi smiles and nods, before he takes his own glass and sits down next to Jun. They have taken their place at the balcony of Jun’s chambers again, Jun dressed in a warm pullover and covered by an even warmer blanket. He raises it a bit for Satoshi to be covered in it as well before the latter pulls him into a warm hug.

 

Satoshi doesn’t need to prompt Jun to say something, he does so himself. “I used my power,” he says and sounds miserable.

 

“Your power?” Satoshi asks carefully, not sure what Jun means.

 

“At the Oguri residence. When Shiniji was about to kill Shun… I let the darker side of my power free and hurt him.” He sounds miserable. “I never wanted to hurt someone.”

 

“Jun,” Satoshi says carefully. “You can use your power as a weapon?”

 

Jun shrugs. “It’s not that simple. I need to concentrate on the darkest feelings inside me, and even then it’s not given that it works. Back with Oguri I was so angry at what they did to Oguri’s wife and about how they treated Shun, that I reacted instinctively.” Jun looks away much to Satoshi’s surprise he truly looks shaken. “You think bad of me now, don’t you?”

 

Satoshi is astonished to say the least. “Your trail of thoughts… sometimes…” He sighs, fingers cupping Jun’s chin to turn his face to look at him. “Jun,” he says earnestly. “My thoughts about you haven’t changed. You were really brave back then, Shun told me how you saved him. You had no other choice than to use the only option you still had.”

 

“But I never wanted to hurt someone with it,” Jun mumbles. “My power is supposed to make things grow, not destroy them. I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

 

“This was bothering you the whole time?” Satoshi wants to know, feeling slightly angry at himself that he wasn’t able to understand Jun’s distress before. “Jun, hadn’t you react, Shun would be dead now.”

 

Jun blinks. “True,” he gives in, obviously reluctant.

 

“I can understand your distress and why you feel guilty, having a powerful ability means a lot of responsibility, and hurting someone goes against the nature of your strength, but you are beating yourself up so much over it that you are losing sight of the essential.”

 

“The essential?” Jun asks in surprise.

 

“Do you regret saving Shun?”

 

Jun shakes his head.

 

“Would you save him again?”

 

A nod.

 

“You had no other choice, Jun. What you did was necessary and, yes, a good thing. Imagine how you would feel now if you hadn’t been able to react?” Jun grows pale at Satoshi’s work and for an instant Satoshi feels guilty for awakening the image of such a possibility in him. “You did react,” he hurries to reassure Jun. “That’s what I want to say. Shun lives, because you saved him. How about you see it that way?”

 

Jun lets out a sigh. “It’s really hard to argue against you.” He grumbles, his expression something between annoyed and amused. “How can I ever win against you when we are married?”

 

Satoshi blinks in surprise before cracking a laugh. “I’m sure you’ll have plenty of options to win an argument against me.”

 

Jun smiles too now, finally looking more relaxed again. Apparently relaxed enough that he can admit something else too. “I’m scared of going outside,” he says honestly. “I know it’s not rational, but… it’s just like a cold hand gripping my heart when I want to go outside.”

 

“I know,” Satoshi says softly.

 

“You do?”

 

“Yes, that’s why I built you your garden. For you to have a place to always feel safe at. I want you to feel protected and have a happy place for yourself.” Satoshi sighs sadly. “I don’t want you to feel threatened and scared at your home.”

 

In his eyes Satoshi can see how Jun fights his own battle at the moment, before he takes a shaky breath. “I don’t want them to win,” he finally says. “As long as I was at the Oguri residence I was able to hold it together, but here everything seems to crumble around me, but I don’t want them to win. If I give in to the fear they awaked in me, they would have won. I might just rely on your help a bit longer.”

 

Satoshi doesn’t know what to answer, his stomach feeling tighter than normal. Instead of talking he bends down to press a kiss against Jun’s forehead. Jun rewards him by showing one of his dazzling smiles. And Satoshi decides it’s the perfect moment to hand him his little gift.

 

“Give me your hand,” he says softly. Jun blinks, reaching out his right arm. But Satoshi shakes his head. “The other one.”

 

Again Jun looks at him in confusion but does what Satoshi told him, eyes looking curiously. Satoshi carefully wraps his fingers around Jun’s arm. It’s been almost healed, but there is a scar remaining. He traces it with his fingers. “Don’t look at it,” Jun says quietly.

 

“Why not?”

 

“It’s ugly,” Jun argues.

 

“It’s not ugly. It tells a history,” Satoshi explains patiently. “It shows how much you fought and how you won in the end.”

 

Before Jun can argue any further Satoshi takes a small velvet bag out of his pocket, opening it and revealing a broad wristband. It’s out of a filigree looking ivory coloured lace, but he has strengthen the lace by adding tiny silver wire to the fabric, before he embroidered the item with beautiful flowers, butterflies and birds. It’s all in soft pastel colours. Once attached to Jun’s arm it covers half of it. “I made this for you,” he explains. “Because I want you to replace all the bad memories with good ones. When seeing your arm now, I don’t want you to feel sad and desperate, but hopeful and proud.” He looks up his eyes meeting with Jun’s. His eyes shimmer with tears. “You are crying, Jun. Why?”

 

“Of course I’m crying, you idiot,” Jun mumbles, voice shaking slightly. “This is the most beautiful gift you could have given me. But more than any gift I’m thankful for having you at my side, you know? And now you even give me such a wonderful thing, and I don’t have anything for you in return.”

 

“I don’t need anything in return,” Satoshi says softly. “I have you. That’s enough.”

 

“I could say the same,” Jun points out.

 

“Yes, but you chose me. It means a lot.”

 

Jun seems to not let it go anytime soon because his answer comes fast. “You chose me too. Your point doesn’t count.”

 

Satoshi chuckles. “Jun, you had three of us to choose from, and no matter what you say, I am by far not the most popular choice. Had you asked the people here who they think you would have chosen to marry, they would have named Kazunari or Sho. But you saw something in me, returned my feelings and chose me. It means a lot to me, so please let me be happy about that and spoil you.”

 

Jun doesn’t answer for a while, then however he smiles and opens his arms invitingly and with a chuckle Satoshi accepts the invitation, his hands holding Jun’s back of the head, pulling him into a kiss. Jun’s lips are soft and demanding, and it just takes every ounce of Satoshi’s self-control not to go any further. “How long until we marry?” he asks against Jun’s lips.

 

Jun smirks.

 

 

~~~

 

When Jun hears steps behind him, he almost freezes for a moment, taking a few shaky breaths before turning around. He has been taking a walk through the little park, alone, deliberately walking the path where Oguri abducted him. His heart goes back to a normal heartbeat when he eyes two young women right in front of him.

 

He smiles politely at them. “May I help you?”

 

“We were looking for you, prince Jun,” one of them says, blushing.

 

He smiles softly. “Is that so? How can I help you?”

 

The two women exchange a nervous look, making Jun chuckle. “I promise I won’t bite,” he teases, making them blush and giggle at the same time.

 

“It’s just…” one of them blushes even further. “You are so pretty,” she stutters. “And friendly. And…” she nudges her sister with her elbow.

 

“Our father gathered fresh berries,” they finally explain and hand him a basket full of fresh and beautiful berries of all kinds and in all colours. “We wanted to congratulate you on your engagement and bring you the first berries of the season!”

 

Jun’s eyes gleam in joy. “This is so considerate of you, thank you, but I don’t want to take what is yours.”

 

“We have plenty,” they explain proudly. “Please take our gift. It would mean the world to us.”

 

Jun smiles and takes the offered basket. “Well then, I will thankfully accept.” He bows his head softly. “Also tell your father thank you for growing fruits. He definitely brought happiness to me.”

 

They both blush and bow, before happily chasing away.

 

Jun watches them leave and eyes the basket in his hands. A smile curls around his lips. He is going to share these with Satoshi later on. The kind approach of the two girls also triggered a new resolve in him. He has promised Satoshi to fight his demons, and he truly wants it himself, but now his resolve is even bigger. He is ready to kick his fears into their butt. He nods grimly. He is going to change for the better.

 

His first step leads him to the men in his life who are family and not his soon-to-be husband. “Of course we can continue our swordfight,” Sho says with a proud smile, apparently happy that Jun estimates him as such a good teacher.

 

Kazu sighs. “I get what you want from Sho, but what kind of help in this area do you want from me?”

 

“Aren’t you a good fist fighter?” Jun asks. “I thought you would be fast and flexible in your movements. I would love to learn some self-defence from you.”

 

Sho and Masaki look at Kazu in interest. “Fist fighting?” Sho asks with a frown.

 

Kazu blushes. “Oh please, I would never fight with my fists… How did you even hear that?”

 

“Well, I heard the one or other story about you,” Jun states.

 

“You did?” Kazu blinks. “Where from?”

 

“From my contacts,” Jun answers mysteriously, not ready to reveal who he talked to. Once he got more self-confident again, it was easy to reach out to the people he knows. And there is Shun too, who apparently developed a strong weakness for Jun and somehow seems to want to dedicate his work at the castle to help Jun and make his life as comfortable as possible.

 

Kazu snorts. “You have contacts?” He grins. “You are just bluffing.”

 

“You think I am bluffing?” Jun chuckles. “Should I really tell everyone about the winter two years ago, when you went on a trip with your friends, got your money stolen and met some shady old guy, who said he would pay you for fighting in a ca-“

 

“Must be someone else!” Kazu intervenes in panic. “You know what. Although it obviously wasn’t me, I could show you some… eh… moves…”

 

Sho looks at Kazu in a mixture of surprise and anger. “What-“

 

But Jun has covered all his bases, wisely, and nods towards Masaki.

 

Masaki grins. “Well, I find it interesting,”

 

“Interesting?” Sho blinks.

Jun and Kazu cast Sho an amused glance. “Interesting?” Sho mumbles. He seems to be so surprised by Masaki’s statement that he forgets to scold Kazu for anything shady he might have done. Jun and Kazu exchange a grin.

 

After a while when everyone has calmed down, Jun bows deeply at them. “Thank you for your help,” he says with emphasis, deeply moved by how supportive they are. “Next time I’ll be able to defend myself in case something happens.”

 

“Next time I’m there to cut the person who hurts you into pieces,” Masaki grumbles.

 

Jun chuckles in amusement. “Thank you for your kind offer,” he says. “But before you slice someone I want to kick them into their private parts myself.”

 

Masaki nods contently. “Sounds like a deal.”

 

The second thing Jun does might sound silly to anyone else but himself, but he cuts his hair. Not really short, but shorter. He has worn his hair in shoulder-length black locks forever, now he wants to try something new. When he sees Satoshi after his hair-cut he is almost scared of his reaction but Satoshi doesn’t disappoint him. “You look beautiful,” he states in a matter-of-fact-tone.

 

“Does it really suit me?” Jun wants to know.

 

“Everything suits you,” Satoshi points out. “No matter which hair you have, you’ll look good.”

 

Jun chuckles in amusement. “Really?” he teases. “So, if I carried hip-length hair, I would look good?”

 

Satoshi looks up in surprise first, like he is scared Jun really meant it for real. Then he cracks a smile. “Well, I guess there are limits to everyone’s beauty.”

 

Jun laughs lightly. He didn’t know how easy it is to tease Satoshi with such things. He might keep this in mind.

 

Satoshi smirks. “You are thinking something cheeky, aren’t you?”

 

Jun chuckles. “I think I might have just found a way to win against you in case we argue.”

 

Satoshi seems to be amused. “Is it so important to win against me?”

 

“Of course,” Jun states. “You are more experienced and more educated than I am, and older. I have no chance against you.”

 

Satoshi tilts his head, eyeing him for a long while before he lets out a sigh. He stretches out his hand, cupping Jun’s cheek softly, his thumb brushing over his cheek. As always even the slightest of Satoshi’s touches sends butterflies through Jun’s stomach. “If only you would know how high of a chance you have against me, Jun. If only you could see yourself like you really are.”

 

“You are just comforting me,” Jun says, trying to focus while he gets sucked in by Satoshi’s eyes.

 

“No, I’m seeing you the way you are.”

 

“You are just delusional,” Jun says dryly.

 

Satoshi stays quiet for a while, and like always when Satoshi needs time to answer, Jun can hear his heart thumping against his chest. “I’m not delusional, Jun,” he finally says calmly. “Do you really believe I would lie to you?”

 

Jun sighs in slight annoyance. “You know you are just winning an argument again.”

 

Satoshi chuckles. “Except…”

 

“Except?”

 

Satoshi smiles and pulls Jun in a hug. “Except we don’t see it as an argument and instead as an exchange of opinions. We don’t need to announce a winner then.”

 

Satoshi is totally the winner, Jun thinks, but when he pulls him into a kiss, Jun realizes he doesn’t really mind.

 

 
A/N: Satoshi loves spoiling Jun, doesn't he :D  He gave him another present. But I think both presents were important for Jun to move forward.
And it seems Kazu has the one or other little secret (plus Jun playing the buffer between him and his older brothers :D) 

So, the question is: Will Jun ever win an argument against Satoshi? :D

Haha, glad you like Kazu and his little secrets :D

[junyhh]

Please let Toshi go on spoiling Jun and Jun teasing Nino for ever- I was soo waiting for this chapter for a very long week.

[lilly0]

Thanks so much for your comment!! ♥
I think Satoshi will spoil Jun for a looong time <3 He is just so happy ^^

[akhikaru]

Hmm...
Well, I'm glad Jun seems to be getting over it. That's good! And I definitely think he cannot win an argument against Satoshi xDDDDD
As for Satoshi's claim that nobody would have seen Jun choosing him coming, well, that's not true lol! From a reader's point of view, at least ;P
Sho and Masaki though... I feel it came out of nowhere, lmao! One moment they're just being kind/supportive, and now they're kind of a couple? Well... that was surprising xD
When's Jun and Satoshi's wedding? I really can't wait for it! :D
Thanks for the update!

[lilly0]

Haha, well, Sho and Masaki are not really a pair yet, just flirting, but they haven't committed to each other yet ^^
The wedding will be soon! We have only two more chapters to go after all ^^
Thanks so much for your comment, dear!! ♥

[mae74]

I'm so happy that Jun is getting stronger. The present is beautiful- such a nice idea 😊

[lilly0]

Thanks so much for reading and commenting, dear!! ♥
Satoshi really knows how to choose his presents, right? :-)

[learashi]

Fancy suggesting that they delay the wedding until summer. Poor Satoshi wouldn't be able to last that long without exploding. The poor man is suffering as it is, with all of that eyelash fluttering and general Jun-ness.

Jun has matured so much and grown in confidence, even after his ordeal.

His father will soon regret giving him away like an unwanted kitten.

[lilly0]

Haha, poor Satoshi! He would need to wait anther six months with Jun being all (unintentionally or not) seductive.
Jun really matured throughout the story, right? <3
Thanks so much for your lovely comment and support! ♥

[yumn_yumi]

I'm envy to Jun!! He have Satoshi who spoil him soooo much with presents and love and kisses and hugs and warm smiles! Want toooooo~ > <
I'm agree with Satoshi. Instead seeing it as argument it will be safe to think they exchanged opinions. At least they can say anything.
And i want to know more secrets of Kazu~ ahahahaha... I wonder what kind of secrets he have there. XD
Sankyuu for sharing this chapter ^ - ^

[lilly0]

Satoshi really loves spoiling Jun and giving him presents, right? <3 He loves him so much and wants to show his love.
You are right, Jun should not be worried about winning against Satoshi or not. They could just see it as an exchange of opinions :-)
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! ♥

[hanarashi25]

Yaaaaaaay! I love this chapter! It's so sweeeeeeeet and I freaking envy Jun
for having these guys who love him very much, especially Satoshi. This guy
surely knows how to show his love and I'm glad that Jun is slowly pulling
himself again from all those miseries he had encountered. I looooooove the
Juntoshi kissing scenes! Hahahahah they're just too sweet and they show how
Satoshi really can't get enough of Jun and how he's struggling to hold back.
LOL How long is it before the wedding? Hahahahah poor Satoshi and I think
Jun's really enjoying in teasing him!
I'm happy that Kazu is having these "things" with Kiko-chan apart from hanging
out with his shady friends...I'm not sure whether it's just me or what...but the
thought of having shady friends is kind of cool and genius! I mean, you can
handle unusual relationships apart from the normal ones. That's great for me!
Aaaaaaaaand! Sakuraiba are getting cuter and cuter. I'm not sure whether Aiba
is aware of his "Sho-chaaaan" vibes but it surely is cute! It was just so funny
that before Aiba was the strict-looking type and now he's all "Sho-chaaaaan~"
I can already imagine "Sho-chan" with his chipmunk face with the deep shade of red. LOL !
Thank you so much for the update, dear! This one just made my day! <3

[lilly0]

Thanks soooooooooooo much for your sweet comment!!!! *huggles* I'm so happy you liked this chapter ♥
Jun and Satoshi really love each other so much, and Satoshi wants to spoil Jun as much as possible now that he has him back in his arms. And Jun is trying his best to get over the things that happened and move forward.
The wedding will be soon by the way :-)
I think Kazu is a really unconvential prince, he will be become even cooler over time :D I'm not sure if Masaki is aware of his Sho-chan-ness, I guess he hasn't realized that he is flirting ^^

[yun_miyake]

this chapter is really warm and lovely
it seems that jun has gained his confidence once again,
so, juntoshi will marry on Christmas and i bet you will not make any bed scene before that fufu

[lilly0]

Jun indeed gathered his confidence again and tries to get over the things that happened. They will marry soon, I promise ^^

Thanks so much for reading and commenting, dear! ♥

[koi_choshi]

I am very very 100x very late for this fic. I just binged read it! I have lots of feels and I really enjoyed. Now, I'll be waiting with everyone else for your updates!!!

Also looking forward when Jun can win against Satoshi! ;)

[lilly0]

Ahhhh, you caught up with it all? OO Yay!
I think Jun really wants to win an argument against Satoshi for once. Maybe it will happen? :-)
Thanks so much for your comment, dear! ♥

[leiva21]

This is so heartwarming and a very nice chapter to read. When Satoshi talks to Jun, telling him to not worry and gives great advice, I thought how Jun has made the perfect choice in choosing him, there's no way that Satoshi will let Jun fighting alone.
I'm surprise with Kazu and Kiko-chan lols. But not a bad choice, Kazu! ^^
Satoshi is too much in love with Jun and when Jun see that he's probably winning over Satoshi every time XD

Satoshi really cares a lot for Jun, doesn't he? He wants him to be happy and get over the things in the past. You are right, Satoshi will always be at his side <3 (and yes, I think Jun hasn't realized yet how much Satoshi truly adores him. Once he does, he might win over him for once ^^)
Thanks so much for your lovely comment ♥
