TAKE OFF THE MASK AND LOSE THE CROWN

JUN didn’t speak to the other as they walked down the old hallways, truth was, he didn’t know what to say to him or if he wanted to speak at all. The summit had run long into the night, and once he’d returned home he’d been expected to host a portion of the festival. Jun was exhausted – both mentally and physically. As they walked in silence, Coatl’s shoulder just a pace or two behind his Jun could feel the heat that poured off him; it was a comfort to the worn King.

 

As he entered his bedroom he unclipped the winter cloak that clung to his withers, it fell to the floor already forgotten, and he went to the frosted window. Golden eyes didn’t really see anything, but the chilled air that swirled before him eased his breathing. His ear turned in the direction of Coatl, the other had stopped just inside the door, what did he think? Jun wondered. What did the one he loved think of the hollow shell he was tonight…

 

“I can’t do this anymore.” The words were almost croaked out on a rough voice, broken and sad. The crown on his head felt heavy and the burden of it all had begun to wear on him, chipping away at his sanity and will.

 

There were no words spoken from Coatl, just the sound of his metal feet on the stone as he moved closer. Jun turned his golden eyes to meet Coatl’s red ones but again, no words were uttered. Coatl sighed and the heat brushed across Jun’s cheek, it almost made him smile. The others movements were slow as he pushed the crown from Jun’s head, both seeming oblivious to the ‘clang’ it made on the stone floor.

 

Coatl’s laid his head over Jun’s, resting his jaw and chin into his messy green locks. Jun’s eyes closed, a content sigh slipping past his lips as he leaned against the other. The troubles that plagued his mind forgotten, at least for a time.

 

Because Coatl was all that he needed.

ABOUT: Well this is something I have been working on since March and it is for the beautiful friend of mine DEO-VOLANTE
these are our two precious babies Jun and Coatl, they mean a lot to me, as does this piece. The lyrics I used for the title pretty much mean what Jun wants to do, he hates being King and often feels he HAS to remain as such or else all will fall to pieces. But honestly all he wants is Coatl and because I felt like writing out this scene you get to read what I think what is going on here.

Also here go listen to the inspiration song because it gives me feels You're My Melody

This will probably be my last piece of 2016 - trying to finish something else before then but if it is not a bad wrap up ay? This is my favorite piece I have ever done and I do not think I will ever top it and I am okay with this.
