"-let me in. I want to see Shuu-"
"-not the best time-"
"Shuu-"
Shuu felt himself stir as soon as he heard the familiar voice calling his name. He blinked and looked at the door. It opened within seconds, and a short body propelled itself toward Shuu at an unimaginable speed.
"Shuu, awake?"
Caelis asked, cuddling against Shuu's stomach. Rin was not far behind, but he was much more reserved and looked lost.
Shuu felt bad for the kid and opened his arms to let Rin in as well. His gesture caused Rin to hesitate for a few seconds, but in the end, the kid came to him and cuddled against him as well.
"Prince Caelis…please, listen to us…"
The guard entered the room with an annoyed face, but he paused as soon as he saw that Shuu was awake.
Shuu gave him a nod and the guard quickly took his leave, but not before he took one last look inside the room.
Prince Caelis's gaze met his, and the guard quickly ran away before he could be called upon by anyone else.
