Xanouth's POV
"Xan, can you make me some tea? I'm getting tired." Floren yawns from the crimson couch. The rim of the arms are fringed with gold, hanging over the sides lazily.
"I'm busy, Flo." I mumble into my already cold beverage. The honey has settled into a small blob of sweetness at the bottom of my mug. An aroma of jasmine and lemon still lingers, though.
"Why?" He whines.
"Because approximately ten years ago, our fathers were killed in battle resulting in our reign as kings." I smile, sarcastically and Floren giggles.
"I know that, idiot, I just want some tea!" He laughs.
"If you call me idiot again, I won't make you tea." I smirk.
"No! Xanouth please!" He groans, jumping up from his seat and crawling across the room, "I'm so tired my legs won't even work!"
"I'm not making you tea, you lazy ass!" I chuckle.
"Make!" He hits me with a pillow, "Me!" And again, "Tea!"
"No!" I grab my own cushion, and hit him back, "You!" Once more, "Lazy ass!"
"Everyone be quiet! Everyone shut up you need to listen to me right now!" Luther slams through the mahogany doors, the sound reverberating through the now quiet room.
"Calm your tail, Luth." Caspen giggles from behind him, and as expected, he is smacked over the head. He seems to be in a 'make fun of Luther' phase at this point. It's constant. Last month it was my turn.
"What's up?" Floren smiles from his knees. It is only then do the newcomers notice our position. Caspen's eyes trail from Floren on the floor in front of me, to my position, then back to Floren.
"Did you...are you..?" He stutters. I glance at his shocked expression then to Floren, who still is on the ground. The pieces fit together like a puzzle.
"Oh god, no!" I shout, leaping from my seat. Floren, it seems, is clueless.
"It's alright if you're gay, man." Caspen laughs.
"You know I'm not gay!" I yell.
"I'm just saying if you were..."
"Which I'm not!"
"I'd support you!"
"Xanouth's not gay..." Floren pipes up from his seat, slowly clambering up.
"There!" I point at him as Caspen bursts into tears of laughter.
"I know you're not gay Xan, I just adore pissing you off." He chuckles.
"You're such an idiot!" I shriek, once again grabbing a pillow and hitting Caspen with it. Soon enough, Floren can't resist and joins in with the abuse of Caspen.
"Hey! You're- you're! Stop!" He yowls, his voice slightly muffled by the material.
"All of you, be quiet!" Luther's booming voice breaks our humorous bubble. In the past few days, things have been tense. Luther sensed something change in the Greye Royal Pack. It's his brother's pack and for the past day or so he hasn't quite been the same. His temper has been shorter than usual, he can't even take Caspen's teasing ways.
"What's up, Luth?" I've learned to give in.
"Boring!" Caspen laughs, raising his pillow again, a smile growing on his lips.
"Shut up Caspen, oh my god!" Valentine, who I hadn't noticed before, walks in from behind the door rubbing his hands over his eyes.
"Why you so mean?" Caspen pouts, trying his hardest to do 'puppy dog eyes' and failing miserably.
