Trying to Find the One in the Crowd

"You are distracted again. Repeat." Sandro has been training Julius. Even though he had no strength it doesn't mean he can't fight. At least he can learn how to conceal weapon and used it in a right time.

Charles never left his room. Julius haven't seen him two days ago. He can't even eat properly thinking about Charles.

When they met Charles will only look away.

He tried begging Charles to understand but he closed his door and his ears.

He can't reach him.

"Ouch!"

"Julius!" Sandro look at his hand that bleeds.

"Be careful." Sandro sighs. "You can also back out."

"Brother!"

"I know why your heart is not at eased. Charles is stubborn but you should understand that he loves you the most."

"I know."

His things are packed.

He is outside the carriage.

When he looks back Charles is no where to be seen.

"Where is my husband?" Julius trembles slightly.

The housekeeper shakes his head.

It appears that Charles has already closed his heart from him.

Then why is he even doing this?

He only hesitate for a minute before he enter the carriage.

He slammed the carriage door in frustration.

Tears slowly fell one after another.

The carriage driver look ahead.

Good thing he learned how to not hear the noise coming out of the carriage. Because if he do his heart will be melting in pain.

Julius rubs his eyes.

His throat is dry and aching.

After drinking a cool water the driver told him that they arrive in the port.

He looks left and right.

Just a week ago a cargo ship has bren hijack by the pirates and all the passenger may no longer be alive but it appears like nothing happened and the port is still as lively as always and people are hurrying to boared the ship.

"Are you Young Master Julius?" A young boy with a clean face ask. His body is thin and he looks like a weakling.

"Are you my companion?"

"Yes. This one is called Sam. You can order me what to do."

"Hm. You know the plan?"

"Yes."

---

"When you arrive in the port, you will meet one of our people. He will be your servant and will assist your journey. You two will boared the ship as a wealthy nobel. I already paid someone to tell the pirate that there is valuable in your ship. But when they found nothing valueable they will surely take hostages or merchandise. With your looks and frailty you will surely be chosen. Once you gone to the pirate ship, I expect you to find an opportunity to find your second brother. Once you are sure. You have to somehow be able to use this signal bomb. We will be running fast to get you."

"I understand." Julius said.

Lorenzo gras Julius shoulder.

"This will not be as easy as it sounds. And Charles is like this. You can always back out."

"No Father. Let me do this."

---

Julius walks to the ship but every step feels so heavy.

He looks back.

"Why didn't you come? Why are you doing this to me? Idiot." He control his emotion or another tear will fall down.

He clenched his fist and walk forward.

He need to succeed.

Only then will Charles look at him again.

Why can't he understand his heart?

He is doing it for him too.

Does he wants to offer his body to die?

Of course not.

He wants nothing but to lie down in bed and kiss Charles!

"Young Master?" Sam see his hand trembles.

"S-sorry."

"It is fine. This is not a child's play. I know you will feel scared. I am the smallest and the weakest in our group. When I am choosen I am also warped in happiness and sorrow."

"Hm... My husband refuse to see me before I left."

"........Um..Okay."

Julius sighs.

The people slowly enter the ship one by one.

Finally the people all boarded.

When the ship starting to move Julius stands up and lean on the edge. His eyes scans the port. He is trying to see all the people waving goodbyes.

But he is not there.

"Your lover didn't come?" An old lady ask.

Julius startled and stare at the old woman.

The woman offer her hankerchief.

"Do not cry. I'm sure your lover has a reason for not coming to see you leave."

Julius shoulders tremble and he hugs the old woman.

He cried softly.

In his heart he is scolding Charles.

'He will regret it.' He grit his teeth.

The ship is large. Julius went to the room where he can lie down. He should practice in the room.

A child bump into Julius.

Sam step forward and prepare to scold the child but Julius stops him.

"What's the use of getting mad at the child? You should not cry. Men should not cry."

The child stops crying and wipe his eyes.

Then he looks at Julius beautiful face.

"Then why is brother's eyes red?" The child ask.

Julius is taken aback but he can only flick the child's forehead.

"It's not red because I cried. I really have red eyes." Julius smiles and walk away.

"Young Master is amazing." He said. "Lying without any care in the world."

Julius can only pressed his lips together and endured his sudden desire to knock Sam's head.

"What is that commotion?"

Sam frowns.

They are about to enter their room when the room next door angrily throw some one out.

A lazy handsome man laughs. He is holding a wine bottle and his handsome neck is covered with red cherries.

"Hmm. You know you like it too." The guy said but the owner of the room next door slammed the door close.

The guy looks at Julius and Sam.

Sam frowns seeing that disgusting leacherous stare.

"My~ This handsome man looks delicately delicious. Do you want to try the taste of man in your bed? This slutty man will take you to heaven for a single silver."

Sam angrily push the man.

"Stay away from my master!"

Julius glares at the man.

"What are you doing here? Charles!"

Charles seductive smile disappear and it become a  serious face. He push Sam away and push Julius inside the room.

"Sweet heart, if you die. I will die. So Let's die together." After he close the door he takes off his clothes.

"I'll kill you slowly."

"Do not forget why we are here!" Julius said but he takes off his clothes too.

What mission?

What self control?

He haven't seen his lover for so long.

"Explain this hickeys!" Julius glares.

"Well...My wife role is a wealthy young master. This young master design his role as a slut."

"What if someone really ask your service in bed?" Julius is lower his voice but his expression cannot be cold calm.

Charles chuckles.

"Then you will wear a green hat. It is for the mission so you have to endure."

"Bastard!" Julius tears up.

Charles kisses his eyes then his lips.

"Do not worry. This husband surely have his way. You will be the only one to be offer a discount."

Julius laughs and kiss Charles lips and their tongue met. The two felt that the days they were unable to shower its other with love is a wasted time so they have to make up for it.

Sam who has no idea what is happening try to eavesdrop in the door.

:ahh..Ahh...

:umm...Ah...Yes.. There.

: Uh- Jul~~kyaah... more.

Sam felt his ear got scald and he move away from the door.

His heart is pounding.

He has been brief in the situation and he knows that the man he is serving is his fourth young master's wife. So why is he being intimate to a hooker?

He is full of questions.

A/N:

I wanted to prolong the sorrow of departure and goodbyes but......I am not a sadist.

Hahahahhaha

And how can Charles lives without Julius?

Tsk tsk.
