Chapter 116: 116: Gay Panic
He had seen it.
Prince Lysander had seen Eden’s hand on this guard’s cocks.
He had seen his lips close to his mouth, he had seen his hands on his chest, running.
For the first time he had seen it all. And he couldn’t explain the feeling that ran through his body. The sharp feeling of arousal he was getting.
He found himself biting his lower lips at the sight, subconsciously. Found himself heating up within the sight while putting himself in the picture.
He felt like he was the one being touched. And he could imagine Eden’s hands touching him at that moment. Touching the spots he had touched the guards. Touching places that made him feel odd.
Places that made him aroused.
He could even feel something in-between his legs hardening.
But he snapped out of it. He had to snap out of it.
Bad thoughts. He knew and believed they were. Sexual thoughts, he knew, were natural. But having them with a fellow guy, he believed was wild and unheard of.
It was bizarre, absurd and scandalous if he could add. He had never heard of such before. And he had never wondered how they even worked out. Talk more of how it felt.
"Eden..?" He called onto Eden’s attention while he struggled to get his mind out of the thought.
"What are you doing here? Aren’t you with your brother?" Eden asked with a broad smile as Lysander began walking up to him.
"I.. I was. And ..I .." He lost his words "I..... I came out and..."
Eden stared at his face "What’s wrong with you?" Eden asked as he placed a hand over his cheeks that were flustered "Are you sick?" He clearly knew what was wrong with him and he was playing on that!
Prince Lysander stiffened.
Words lost as he stared into Eden’s face like a mannequin. Frozen, his eyes fixed on Eden’s face, his nose and then his lips.
Lysander swallowed, his Adam’s apple moving as he subconsciously stared at the face of the man who he couldn’t stop thinking about - sexually.
And while he stared, the only word that kept running through his head was "Pretty"
He hated his mind for all these, but he couldn’t stop his mind from running in the direction it did.
"Yours ears..." Eden observed.
Lysander’s ears are red now. And Eden’s fingers were on his ears too.
"I’m fine.." Lysander broke free from Eden’s touch, stepping backwards.
"What.. what are you ... What are you doing here?" Prince Lysander managed to change the topic.
Eden smiled "Oh. I wanted to go read at the royal library. But these guards aren’t letting me in"
Now Eden grabbed Lysander by the hands tightly with a pout.
Lysander gasped. Heart running.
Eden figured he could easily use Lysander to get in. "Tell them to let me in. Pretty please"
Lysander figured he couldn’t stare at Eden’s face at that moment without his heart fluttering. And so he instantly looked away, looking at the guards. His hands are still being enveloped by Eden’s soft palms.
"Let.. let him in.." Lysander instructed and immediately the guards cleared the way.
"Thanks" Eden smiled as he immediately dashed into the royal library.
He couldn’t waste any more time. He had to start looking for a way to get information about Leo’s case.
At least something.
Prince Lysander stood outside, calming himself down while staring at the entrance door. He wanted to also go in with Eden, but he guessed he also had to calm his sexual nerves down.
He stood there for about a minute or two. Breathing in and out. And when he was ready, he began stepping into the Royal library.
Lysander stopped right in front of the entrance door. And then looked at the two guards who stood guard at the door.
He stared at them for a while as he raised a finger at the one Eden was seducing earlier.
"You..." Lysander said and then paused. His fingers moving up and down. The guards looked at him, curious to get the vital information Lysander wanted to pass to him.
He continued, hesitantly while clearing his throat "Stay away... Stay away from him"
"Huh?" The guard was confused.
It was more like a command that came from the place of subconsciously nurtured jealousy. Lysander couldn’t possibly tell, he was just saying what he felt like saying.
"Just.. stay away from him. Don’t... Don’t get closer... Okay?" He spoke like a kid selecting words to give orders with.
"Oh. Mmhmm. Yes" The guard nodded.
And with that, Prince Lysander made his way into the royal library.
*******
As Prince Lysander walked into the Royal library, he looked around for awhile before he saw Eden at a distance.
Eden was running his hands through the shelves, looking through the spines of the books on it. His eyes meticulously ran through them as though he was reading them all at the same time.
He watched him for a while, his brain still flashing the image of the scene earlier to him. But he brushes the thought off yet again as he approached him "What are you looking for?"
"Me?" Eden asked, his hands still running through the books on the shelves "Nothing much. I’m just looking for interesting stories or histories to read. I’m bored" He explained.
He couldn’t possibly tell Lysander that he was looking for evidence that could prove that his family were murderers and enough evidence to take down the royal family while collaborating with The Grand duke of Enor who was apparently their hard-core enemy.
"Oh. I see" Prince Lysander nodded, looking around the huge vintage looking library.
The smell of old and new books oozing at every corner. One could easily tell that the library contained books from years ago. Or even a century ago.
Eden still had his hands running through the books, moving from one shelf to another, trying to trace something.
While Lysander stared at him. Thoughts running through his mind.
Thoughts he entertained for over a minute while staring at Eden, before he finally spoke.
"Eden..."
