    Summary

    “I can’t just go out and—and spend the night with someone.” Kabru coughs, embarrassed. “We’re courting.”

    Mithrun looks at him strangely.

    “Supposedly,” Kabru clarifies. “In public, at least. They’d think I’m cheating on you.”

    ...

    Mithrun finally controls himself, fighting off a smile, his bottom lip caught between his teeth. “Do you want to have sex?”

    Summary

    "That’s simply an old habit of Kabru’s," Mithrun answered. He always referred to my father by the name Kabru, a name only used by the king and a few close friends who had known him in his youth.

    -----------

    This story is told from Kabru’s son’s point of view.

    Summary

    On impulse, Mithrun grabs Kabru by the strap of his armor and pulls him down. One brush of Mithrun’s lips against his, Mithrun’s open mouth against the gentle curve of Kabru’s, just to test.

    Just to taste.

    He lets Kabru go and nods. “Okay. Let’s rest,” he says, and Kabru, looking rather thunderstruck, follows him.

    Summary

    It’s homeroom once again, and once again, Kabru finds himself staring longingly at the back of his teacher’s head. Slowly, slowly, he lets his eyes travel down.

    Down the silver of his hair, tangled curls cut into a short cute bob, the pale nape of his neck and the gray collar of his coat. It had to be tailored—it showed off his figure too much to be something off-the-rack. His green pinstripe pants were cut in an endearingly old-fashioned way.

    Mithrun of the House of Kerensil, their new elven homeroom teacher, took his job seriously, and that had been the source of Kabru’s doom.

    Summary

    “Captain, isn’t that Kabru right there?” Cithis said, her tone of voice casual, but her eyes were glinting with something mischievous as he nudged Mithrun’s side. “Ah, I think he was just caught under a mistletoe. Silly boy.”

    Mithrun blinked, trying to process what Cithis had said. “... Mistletoe?”

    “The plant hanging right on the top of that archway. If two people are caught beneath it, they must kiss. It’s good luck if they do it: bad luck if they don’t.”

     

    ____

    OR: Mithrun struggles this Christmas with rekindling his desires during the national season of wanting things whilst also trying to catch Kabru under a mistletoe. Yes, these are two separate missions.
