Keeping A Secret

***

Soren sat with Pit as the Angel came to, stretching his body, only to hiss in pain as the events from the day before came back to him. "Ow," he whimpered, looking down at his body.

"If you want, I can try to heal you," the sage offered, but the brunette shook his head.

"I don't want you to use your energy up on me. I'll be fine, really."

"That may be so. Here's your breakfast; take your time. I'll run you a bath. I have to use a fire spell to heat the water, but once it's boiling hot, it takes a while to cool off to a suitable temperature," the adviser informed, handing the Angel a silver tray of food before disappearing into the washroom.

"Thank you, Soren."

"Don't thank me; I get paid to do this."

The Fallen giggled as he ate his eggs.

There came a harsh knock on the door.

Pit looked up surprised. "Someone is here, Soren!"

"Is it Ike?" the adviser asked from the bathroom.

"I hope so!" the fallen chirped, his spirits already lifted.

Soren emerged from the room, and walked over to door. Another harsh knock sounded again. "It's Ike," he concluded opening the door.

The King entered the small room quickly.

"Ikus!" Pit yelled.

Ike turned to his lover and smiled.

"I didn't expect to see you so soon, Ike," Soren stated.

"I came for only a few minutes. I’m finding it impossible to stay away from him so long," the bluenette said softly, and then walked over to the bedside where Pit was eating his eggs. "Hi, baby! Are you enjoying your breakfast?" he asked.

"Mm-hm," the boy replied.

"Good," Ike said and gave the angel a kiss on the cheek.

"How did things go with, Elincia?" Soren asked sitting down at the desk.

The King sighed. "She wanted to inform me of how I am spending too much time with you, and not enough with her."

The adviser nodded, and what did you say?" he inquired.

"A gave her a bunch of bullshit excuses," Ike said.

"Good man," the adviser approved with a nod. "I'm preparing a bath for Pit, after which I'll change his wrappings and get him back to bed."

"I'll take care of the bath," the King informed, stroking back the Fallen's hair.

Soren knew better than to argue, so he said, "I will inform the Queen that you are busy. Try not to get too wet."

After the spell caster took his leave, Pit glanced up at his lover gratefully. "Thank you, Ikus. There isn't much I can do by myself right now."

"I know. It’s okay. I am here for you every step of the way," the bluenette said, picking Pit up very carefully. Ike carried the Fallen to the bathroom where he proceeded to undress him.

"You look as beautiful as ever," the King complimented.

"Thank you," the youth replied, blushing. Although he had stripped for Ike in the past, he had never taken his undergarments off in the larger man's presence before. His blush intensified as he was lowered into the warm water. "This feels good."

It took the king a moment to reply, as he was distracted by the numerous bruises that adorned the Angel's back.

"Baby...? Ike asked, concern clearly in his voice. He lightly touched the Angel's back. "Where did all these bruises come from?"

Pit turned his head slowly, the motion causing him a great deal of pain. "Probably from when I fell... It hurts a little to move."

"Okay, okay. Just relax," the King urged as he eased the youth into the water. The Angel giggled, doing his best to raise his wings and not get the feathers wet. Once seated, the bluenette took a wash cloth and lathered it. "I'll get you cleaned up, baby."

The Fallen smiled and closed his eyes. He would never have guessed that Ike was a fierce warrior, judging only by his gentle touches with the cloth. He's so good to me. I'm so glad to be back with him.

"Is the water warm enough for you?" the bluenette asked.

"Mm-hm. I wish you could get in with me," the angel said, looking up at the King with big eyes.

"I know, I know. Me too. But I have meetings today, and I'm afraid once I got in, I may not want to get out," the King replied. "But believe me, If I had the time, there would be no hesitation." Ike stroked the youth’s hair back and kissed his forehead lightly. He then took the cloth and finished washing the Angel. Pit was still the boy he knew, but in time his features and other parts of him had matured.

"You're all done, clean as can be," Ike announced. "Are you ready to get out?"

"Hmmm... Five more minutes," the youth pouted, lying back against the rim of the tub, playing with the washrag.

"Well, I'd let you, but then I'd have to go and Soren would be the one to dry you off."

That was all the encouragement Pit needed to reach out for his lover and be lifted out of the tub. Ike dried him on the tub's rim, weary of all his injuries. "... You're so beautiful," he marveled, draping a warm towel over the boy's shoulders so he wouldn't be cold. The Angel held on to it like a blanket.

"Thank you, Ikus," the brunette cooed in reply.
