He had blacked out after that. It was quite unbelievable how he had managed to endure through it all but he did. Losing consciousness immediately after Kai didn't have the chance to do a few things that he wanted, one of them snorting right into his mother's face, boasting his victory and the other, the other to find Philip, even though he didn't know what he was planning to say he wanted to see him, ask him, dying from curiosity why was he crying. But since he simply collapsed on the floor right after he didn't do any of those things.
The youngest prince opened his eyes slowly. Realizing he was laid on his bed, his face buried on the pillow. They had laid him down in a way that wouldn't hurt his wounds. There was no need for that, breathing hurt and it was something he had to do, being laid properly wouldn't be much different. He frowned, feeling immediate discomfort as he tried to move. He failed a few of his tries at turning around, and he hissed but in the end, being as stubborn as he was he managed to turn his body and sit up, finding a rather unexpected surprise on his bed.
His body was wrapped with bandages that smelled strongly of herbs. His wounds wouldn't heal easily, he realized. Since they had to do this it meant Kai had earned some very non aesthetically pleasing marks that he wouldn't be able to get rid of. He shook his head, his blue eyes looking at his lap and he noticed him.
Right next to his bed, seated on a chair and sleeping on the side of his bed was Philip. His blue eyes widened, his expression frozen as he processed the sight before him. The werewolf he had been thinking about, even in his sleep, somehow had managed to slip into his room and now had fallen asleep right next to his lap. His hair had come undone, silk like strands falling on his handsome face and Kai, tempted, he removed them to the side, getting a clear view of his side profile. Philip looked peaceful, no lines on his face, his breathing slow but steady as he slept. He had pretty lips, Kai thought as he noticed the perfect lines and the pink color. His nose was quite alright too, straight and a bit pointy, he had a manly face, his jaw sharp.
"Who the hell let you in?" The youngest prince mumbled to himself as he pushed back Philip's hair and the young man moved. He took back his hand as if he was being shaken, seeing how the werewolf was slowly waking up, he blinked, exiting this fairy tale like moment, left with a slight disappointment. "Hello there, intruder." Kai said as he noticed him blink and Philip stood straight, his eyes looking at the vampire.
"You're awake." he said.
"Shouldn't I be telling you that?" Kai asked him playfully and chuckled. Philip didn't seem to be in the mood to play though, he looked him in the eyes, his look mysterious as he got lost in his thoughts. "What?" The prince asked, feeling uncomfortable.
"How can you laugh? How can you smile and joke as if you did nothing? As if nothing happened?" The werewolf asked him and Kai breathed in, feeling the burn on his back. Of course he was there to scold him, why else would he visit him?
"Look, I am sorry. I just wanted to annoy you a bit. Things got out of hand but, like the gracious prince that I am, I did take the blame so please don't start nagging me."
"If I was getting on your nerves then why did you expose yourself like that? You could have let me get the punishment" Philip said. He was right. Philip had been annoying, he wanted him to trip and fall on the staircase, maybe put some spiders on his mattress but not actually have him tortured.
"I've never hurt anyone before, physically at least, without a reason. I've never killed anyone either. I wouldn't have my first time being because of an annoying werewolf. I'm just not that bad as a person I guess." Kai told him, shrugging his shoulders and immediately, he regretted it. He hissed, wrinkling his nose and Philip raised his arms, as if he wanted to touch him. A subconscious move people did when someone was in pain. "I am fine." Kai said.
"Maybe you're not that horrible, for a vampire."
"Oh believe me. I am exquisite." Kai said and winked at him. "You didn't have to come all the way here to scold me. I doubt you were allowed inside after all." he said, giving him a suspicious look and Philip scoffed, a little grin appearing on his face. It wasn't a smile but still, it was beautiful.
"I am good at climbing. Trees, rocks, balconies…."
"Oh, balconies too." Kai said and chuckled as he watched Philip nod.
"And I did not come here to scold you. I came here to call a truce."
"A truce?"
"Yes, I don't have anything against you. I know we had a bad start but I will be here for a while so let's get along, who knows it might be good for our people too." Philip offered and Kai tilted his head to the side, his blue eyes examining his face, trying to see if the werewolf wanted to trick him.
"What's in it for me?" he asked, raising his eyebrows and Philip coughed, surprised with his answer.
"No more whipping I guess?"
"Next time I won't take the blame for making your life hell so tell me…a truce has terms. What can you offer me?" he asked again, a devilish grin on his face.
"Alright then, tomorrow it's my birthday, come with me outside, I promise you it will be the best day of your life." he said.
"With you? I bet it will be boring." Kai said as he watched Philip get up from his chair. The werewolf shrugged his shoulders after he fixed his sleeves.
"You will never know until you come. You will see for yourself and then you will tell me if you will accept my truce." he said. "I will wait for you, when your red sun hits the middle of the sky, at the entrance." he told him and bowed before he walked to the edge of the balcony and jumped off as if it was nothing.
"My red sun…" Kai mumbled. "I guess we do not live under the same sky."
The prince took a deep breath, closing his eyes as a smile lingered on his face.
"Let me see then, the color of your sun.." he told himself.
