krystalkatzficz>The bird healed him…< Aiba whispered almost frantically as he bounced up and down on the shire looking so excited that Ohno knew for certain that that was what had happened. The cut had been there but now it was gone. Firebirds weren’t able to heal, their phoenix ancestors might have had that skill but it had been lost down through the ages. He did find it slightly disappointing that he hadn’t been able to tend Nino’s wound. It was a selfish thing but he had thought that if he had Nino would have smiled at him again >It really healed him!<
>Thank-you Aiba, we all saw it…< Jun said sharply though there was a note of surprise in his voice too.
>Don’t you know what this means?< Aiba squeaked not paying attention to the sharp note as they looked at Phoenix who was nestled in a sling over Nino’s chest looking out with those shiny beetle eyes. Ohno wasn’t sure what it meant though he knew it felt like he was suddenly in competition with his own gift for his beloved’s affections and he wasn’t sure if he was going to be the one that was going to win picturing the way that Nino had pulled away from him before he had tripped.
>I’m sure that you’re going to tell us…< Jun said with a roll of his beautiful dark eyes and Ohno turned to the Ru’inwë hoping that there was going to be some kind explanation. The Ru’inwë flushed brightly for a second and then sighed muttering;
>Aquenix…<
>What was that?< Jun asked his head tilting to one side and Ohno had to admit that he was just as confused as his second. He turned his head back to look at Nino and Phoenix who was honking cheerfully.
>I think…I’m not certain…It’s just a guess! But I think that he might be…An Aquenix…< Aiba said a little more loudly flushing as he pouted expecting them to argue with him. All Ohno and Jun did was look at each other with raised eyebrows still not understanding what was going on. Ohno recovered first his head tilting to one side asking;
>What is an Aquenix?<
>It’s a water phoenix...< Aiba whispered softly >Even when Phoenixes were around the Aquenix were rare…Well nobody ever saw them because they lived in the ocean instead of on land…<
>So what makes you think that Phoenix in an Aquenix?< Jun asked slowly causing Aiba to hang his head a little chewing on his lip his little his cheeks flushing.
>I told you it’s just an idea…I’m probably wrong…< He whispered >He swims and he is fiercely loyal…It’s only been a day even Firebirds need a long time to get used to their owners but true Phoenix and Aquenix they bonded…I thought…That maybe he was a true phoenix but he swam so…Look I’m just going to be wrong...<
>Aiba you are the best Ru’inwë our clan has had…Even better than your father…I trust your judgement on all things…< Ohno told him seriously watching the smile that formed over Aiba’s nervous lips >If you are convinced that it is a Aquenix then I think you are right…But what would that mean?<
>I think that we would have to figure it out later…< Aiba hummed looking a lot better now and more confident as he shifted around in the saddle of the Shire his hands gripping the simple reins >I can’t know anything for certain until we are back in the highlands…Sho has my books…But I think that we should just carry on as we have been…He seems happy enough…<
>Okay…< Ohno smiled at the Ru’inwë turning around when Jun nudged his arm >Yes?<
>I think that you should ride with Nino…He is looking very nervous…< Jun said and Ohno nodded quickly as he pulled on the reins slowing down the Shire and falling into step with Nino.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Nino swallowed stroking the thin bird that was comfortably snuggled against him while trying to hold onto the reins of the beast that was beneath him. He had never been on a horse before and had definitely not been near one as big as the he was riding now. Arianna had been taken to the wagons with the other few women folk that were with them. Nino had been offered to travel there but it seemed that all the men rode and he refused to sit in the back but now he wished that he had given up on his pride. He looked at Ohno’s back, the elf was only a few feet away but the distance seemed to be huge. He hadn’t meant to pull away from the elven king but when he had reached out to him his body had reacted like in his dream causing a weird ball of heat to flow around his body and all of the oxygen to leave him making him feel woozy.
“Beloved…Are you okay?” Ohno asked coming to walk beside him the heavy hooves thumping over the ground with long and steady thumps on the dry earth. There was something enchanting about Ohno on horseback with his bobbing up and down as his body moved with the steps. Nino flushed again looking away from the elf knowing that his dream had sparked these feelings but the truth was he had no idea how he was meant to respond to them.
“…I think so…I’ve never ridden a horse before but I don’t feel scared…” Nino said his words almost dying in his throat as he the hooves slipped over the ground almost making him slide off until Ohno grabbed his arm keeping him steady and smiling at him his eyes sparking a little. The touch burnt at his skin and Nino tried to smile again as he breathed “Th-Thank-you…”
“Steady…” The elf king said with the tiniest of clicks to the Shire “…You are riding very well, it doesn’t show that you haven’t…”
“…Thank-you…The horses…” Nino whispered stopping when Ohno raised a hand and shook his head quickly still smiling as he explained softly;
“Shires…They are of the same family as a horse as are we elves with humans but it would be like if I were called human…”
“The…Shires are very well trained…Aiba did that?” Nino asked looking at the elf in front who was now calling to an eagle that was flying through the sky. So far of all the elves that he had met the Ru’inwë was by far the most interesting to him and he wished that they didn’t have the barrier of language between them so he could properly talk to him, though he was sure that if he did the animal trainer would soon grow bored with him.
“Yes…He trained them all since foal…As his father did before him and his father before him…A family skill that is passed from parent to child…”
“…I always thought elves were immortal…” Nino whispered and Ohno shook his head again seemingly happy to explain.
“We’re not…We do have increased live spans…More so than humans but we do not sire as many children…I was the only one that my parents had…As you are the only one that your father had or ever would have had…Aiba’s father is still alive as are my parents…But they are with another section of the clan…”
“…Then how did you become king?” Nino asked, he had met the human king once and the prince, they had come to Draven castle with a hunting party. The prince had been very attractive and nice to him often coming down to the kitchen to eat sweetbreads as he worked. They had never been friends but it had been nice to have somebody that didn’t hate him on sight. He had told him that he was going to be king because his father was king and he had assumed that that was the way that it worked with the elves too. It seemed that he was wrong though as once more Ohno was shaking his head telling him;
“Again beloved I think that you are confusing us with human lords…There was a tournament…A test of strength and when I came out victorious the old king took me as his heir and your father as my second...It is the same as I will do when I feel that I can no longer serve my people the way that they need to be served...It is confusing for you I know but I promise you will learn to understand…”
TBC
A/N: Hmm…Nothing happened I’m sorry >.< I need you to pick who the human prince should be because he will appear later…Don’t worry he’s a good guy just wants some help and is a little in love with our silver haired Nino :) I was thinking more of a western actor...Like Matt Bomer or Tom Hiddleston
Mr Bomer Mr Hiddleston

Date: 2014-08-08 08:00 pm (UTC)I love how Ohmiya's relationship develops slowly and naturally and even though it's clear where everything is headed for everyone but those two, it's so wonderful to read how they slowly begin to realize their own feelings.
╥﹏╥ I'm so sorry I've hardly been able to comment; RL has been keeping me so busy I hardly found time to keep myself updated on our fab5. From the week after next on I hope it'll get better and I'll keep commenting away as I'd like to.
Edit: I'd pick the guy on the left because I like his eyes. But both are proof just how out of anything not Japanese I am because I have absolutely not the slightest bit of an idea who these two guys are.
