Your Grace part 36

>Ohno…<

Ohno turned with a forced smile when he heard the soft voice of the Ru’inwë behind him. He had been convinced of Draven’s guilt since he had heard his beloved story and although he thought that the men should still face some punishment for what they had done to low king he knew that it was impossible for him to solely lay the blame of it on their shoulders. Draven was a sickening man, he had never met somebody so driven by hate. He wanted to send men back to the castle and deal with the man once and for all but he had promised Nino that he wouldn’t.

>Aiba…You should be resting…<

>I was but Swift woke me…< Aiba hummed looking a little suspicious but Ohno often thought that there was things he Ru’inwë could do that most would be unable and he gave a smile to the fox that was sat beside Aiba looking at him with a calculating expression.

>…He was worried?<

>I believe he thought you might do something to the prisoners before their trial…< Aiba stroked the ear of the dune fox and Ohno gave a little sigh motioning for him to follow him to the dying fire as a chill crept over his body. Aiba, though a happy a ball of energy most of the time, was often the best source of comfort he could find in the camp often offering him advice when his mind was crowded with thoughts and emotions that he couldn’t figure out alone and right now his mind was in that state.

>I was tempted…but it is not they that deserve my hate or anger…Masaki, my I ask for advice?<

>Yes…my king…<

>…I…I am sickened and disgusted by those that touched my beloved…< He whispered his eyes going back to the cage that he couldn’t see behind the tent. Although he now knew that they had no choice in the abuse he still felt anger in his heart that they had touched Nino, surely it would have been possible for them to only pretend to have done so? >But…Am I not the same? Nino is almost 16 in age but…Mentally and emotionally he is much younger…Yet I am touching him…< Ohno shuddered a little looking down at his own hand with the same amount of hatred that he felt for the Draven and the men in the cage. He had done nothing but touch his arm, legs, and occasionally chest when they were alone in their tent but it was still too much in his mind >I have all but bound him to me…<

>The moon told you…<

>Indeed she did but…< Ohno sighed looking up at the overly bright moon. It was his vison of their perfect happiness together that had spurred him on in his courtship of Nino but now he was feeling no better than those in the cages >He is a child…...I should distance myself from him allow him to grow in age and experience…<

>My king I think that that would be the worst thing that you could do to him…< Aiba whispered softly shaking his head as his green eyes flashed like new leaves on a tree. >You are right…Nino is young in his emotions…He has never had somebody care for him…Until now with you…I am not saying that it is right and perhaps there was some other way for you to have handled it but you cannot change the past…if you were to distance yourself from him now…How would he feel? All I can suggest for you is to carry on down the path that you are on…Do no more than you are comfortable with, help him to grow…I believe that when the Low King is truly allowed to be himself he will be very much like his father…Could you have made Yurrin do something that he did not want?<

>No…It would have been impossible…<

>And it will be impossible with the low king…Talk of your feelings to Nino but don’t pull away from him, my king…You would hurt him more than they could have…<

Oh Ohchan how good can you beeee? This just,prove further that you love Nino, you coukd have just justified yourself that it was because this is Moon's prophecy but you don't do that. And to say my respect grow further would be an understatement! :')
I hope Nino would retort back and rebuke Ohno low opinion on this. Cause really Ohno touch is different, him is filled with affection, care and love. It's different than those who assault him.
Now is chance for Nino to comfort Ohno!! ;D

Thanks!! :D
