He was anxious, his hands shaking while his eyes traveled between Xan and the unconscious werewolf that was laid on the floor. His fingertips touched Xan's tender flesh, the blood dumping his hand as he moved deeper into his body, carefully grasping his flesh in a very gruesome search of that one piece of wood. Lun could feel his heartbeat, not in the romantic dreamy way, he could feel it, close as his hand got deeper into his chest. The vampire closed his eyes shut, hoping that way he  would be able to concentrate better and sighed. 

Xan screamed, startling Lun and making him move, his eyes turning round and meeting him. 

"Did I…Did I hurt you?" he asked and the crown prince took in a deep breath, his jaw clenched as he shook his head negatively. Telling him that it hurt would simply make him worry even more anyways. "Then why did you scream?" 

"For dramatic effect. Now hurry up and get it out, have you found it?" Xan told Lun and the vampire rolled his eyes, clenching the soft flesh. For a second he stopped, his fingers brushing something that didn't feel like it belonged there. He breathed in loudly, slowly pushing his hand deeper and with his thumb and index finger he pinched the foreign object. 

"Found it." The vampire mumbled. His eyebrows were furrowed, sweat was dripping off his forehead as he was trying really hard to focus. He had to pull it out completely straight. If he moved even the tiniest bit to the left he would end up stabbing his heart and killing him. 

"You can do it." Xan whispered, encouraging him and Lun nodded. 

He had never found himself in such a critical situation before, it was almost unbearable to watch, the tension between them kept rising, like a time bomb that was ready to explode. Lun felt on edge, his whole body being forced to stand still while his mind was running wild. He pulled out the stick, just a tiny piece of wood that was left behind and watched how Xan's wound began to heal, rapidly. After a few seconds there wasn't a wound anymore, the skin looking completely perfect, pale and with no signs of battle. 

Lun grazed his fingers on top of that naked part of his chest, his eyes glued on it, a sudden relief making him finally relax and his eyes fluttered. It was done, thankfully he had managed to pull it out successfully. 

Xan grabbed the stick from Lun's hands as if it was a contagious disease and threw it away, both of them hearing it tumble in the silence. It was practically insignificant, but to them it easily turned into a death device. The crown prince slowly stood up, pushing back Lun's hand and his cold blue eyes landed on the Alpha. 

"He has been asleep for a while now." he concluded and carefully kicked his hand, noticing that no matter what he did the man would not wake up. 

"Kill him then. We can finally be free of this idiot once and for all." Lun suggested and Xan nodded. Yes, it would be the best thing to do. Rip his heart, or his head, make him disappear while they tasted the sweet victory. The problem was that Xan still didn't feel fully well. Even though the wound had healed he felt tired, his muscles tense and sore. He looked at Lun, embarrassed to say that he did not have the strength to do what was needed. 

"We should leave. We don't know if he is going to wake up soon. I need to get you out of there first. Something is happening, it's weird that he is still unconscious." Xan said and the man on his side frowned, not understanding his way of thinking. If it was in Lun's hand this horrible man would have been dead by now, without a second thought. Not wanting to stay there for a lot longer though he decided not to argue about it. The stinky room, the stains of blood on the floor and the broken chairs did not really fit with his aesthetic. He just wanted to get out and find himself laying on his expensive couch, resting. He must have seemed really stupid to Xan, after all he was weak but still chose to stay behind. Not really a befitting attitude for a ruler of the underworld. 

"Fine, let's go." he agreed and started walking when he felt Xan wrap his hand around his wrist. The vampire stopped and turned around, seeing his touch linger and he blinked, confused with what was happening. The crown prince didn't say anything, his expression revealed none of his intent no matter how hard Lun was staring at him. He honestly simply looked like a mess, his hair which was always neat and taken care of had turned into stray white strands, his clean face a painting with delicate brushes of blood while his shirt was partly ripped, showing his pale body. "What is it?" Lun asked, unable to wait to hear him speak but again he did not reply. 

Xan tightened his wrist and pulled him towards him, making him land on his chest. The vampire gasped, his dark eyes confused but glued on his as Xan raised his chin gently. He kissed him. The crown prince had actually kissed him. It was so short that for a second Lun believed he had dreamed about it, some kind of stupid hallucination, that was probably it. But he had been wrong. This gentle kiss, light like the touch of a feather, had happened. 

"Our deal is over." Xan said and let go of him, pushing Lun away from his body. "Let's go now." he mumbled, walking in front of him. Lun shook his head, trying to process everything that had just happened. He did it because of what he had said before? He was a man of his word after all but the vampire, walking slowly behind him couldn't help but smile, trying to keep the feeling of his kiss forever. He couldn't know if he would be lucky enough to experience something like this again.
