Welcome to Gaia! ::

Henry sighs out relieved. he didn't know what exactly he expected but what Aki managed to say was some how a good sign. " Gay enough." he quirks with a smile and holds the boy in a firmer, loving grip. " There were only two reasons you would come back...you liked me or where curious to the forest." he fixes his hair as it blows in the breeze. " And you admitted you had no real reason to be here and you hugged me." he teases lightly. Henry smiles . " its honestly the only reason I cam out here today." it wasn't that was a lie but it was half true. It's why he got there on time and was searching just for the boy. He looks down at Aki and rubs the boys cheek. " no need to blush. only person being fool is me." The boy was defiantly cute, with the blush made it almost a playful cute that only tease Henry, making him want more. Aki's smaller frame and simple nature danced around henry's head aimlessly. " I could walk you back." he adds. " I'm impulsive.. I cant fix that much." he leans down slightly to kiss Aki's cheek.

" Really, really. " Henry quirks back. " Like I said its a little more populated with angry mommy beasts. " He teases. " not something just want to do without a little motivation." He could hear the nerves in Aki's voice yet didn't know how to make it go away. Henry's first date with a girl didn't go as well as it was know just making him feel more comfortable in his skin. Trying to please his father all the time didn't always work. When it cam to the marriage before it was rough on him made him confused, but being there with Aki made it all feel a little more clear. Like just being able to see the headlights through the fog.
" I'm pretty foolish." He nods. "a twit is what my father likes to say." henry breathes out relieved the boy wanted to stay. It was a blessing from the heavens above. Henry looked at Aki seeing the tints of pink on his cheek. " Do you always do that?" he asks, rubbing Aki's cheek, not to be rude, no, just out of curiosity for the boy. he'd never seen a males cheeks grow such a blush so frequently. But honestly there was barley any blushing to see in his home. Henry also didn't know if it was a bad sign, a sign to stop.

Henry shrugs. " I don't mind, that's just how we get along. " He smiles. " Tough love I guess." He nods and giggles at the boy. "" its not that bad." he promises and stops Aki with a frown. A low growl echoed from somewhere in front of them. " W are NOT going that way."
Henry shakes his head he didn't like the idea of being out in the forest with him only to protect Aki but it was better than not helping the boy at all.
" Back up slowly with me it doesn't sound that big but wouldn't want to chance anything." he takes a few slow steps backwards.

Henry smiles. " I know the land between the two kingdoms like the back of my hand, I have to. " Feeling the boys grip tighten empowered him but also brought about a trust feeling. " Maybe we should meet somewhere else next time." He teases almost playfully. "I don't kill the beasts who've spawned. its wrong to kill a mother with reliant children." Henry was smooth and soon they where far from the mother animal. He wasn't trying to put Aki in danger but when he was paying attention to the boy he wasn't looking at the trail ahead. The wind caught hold of henry's shirt; loosing another button of his shirt. This was his favorite outfit, though it was the less put together of his others. He liked the sharpness and edges it created and how it described him.

Henry smiles. " then its settled." Henry looks at Aki with a raised eyebrow. 'its not abandoned, its a refuge for the exiled." He looks at him questioningly. " Who would have told you such lies?"
He smiles. " No, I have the perfect spot, and i'v built these before I know how to do it." he looks in his mind for something simple yet spacey to have most homes necessities. He smiles. " I have to show you the spot. " he guilds Aki along a path that was carved in his mind. As they got close there was the pitter of water. " I used to come here and swim when I was little."He admits and pushes through some trees as they reach the pond, koi fish swam freely creating a picture of oranges yellows and white against the transparent blue water. A river lead into the pond from parts unknown. "I can cut down the trees tomorrow and then clean the logs of their bark, maybe even before you get to the edge of your village." It was evident of his excitement , it resonated in his voice. "Then I can start building a log cabin. Windows and doors gone, but it will be big enough to have a bed room, kitchen/ living area and storage room. I know how to hook up the water to a home though...it will be temperamental." The physical labor excited henry. He was almost ready to just go home and grab his axe now,

Henry looks down a the happy male. The hugging made him laugh again, it was just a little strange and though he liked the affection the touching was different. A pat on his shoulder from his father usually sufficed. " Im happy you like it." he awkwardly wraps one arm around the boy. Herny looks at the sky. " but now I need to get you back so i'm not late home. Ill swing y tomorrow and walk you there soon your see the pattern to it too. " He still awkwardly slung around the boy turns them and starts walking in the direction of the first town he dropped Aki off at. before he leaves he smiles. " till tomorrow." He states because goodbye was just to harsh. He runs home to beat his father to the front door.

Henry flings off his sword and boots to a servant who catches them; patiently awaiting for his arrival. henry runs up the stairs in his socks and slides into his room. he bird bathes and slides into pajama's. henry jumps in bed. He knew he needed to wake early and could get the cook to make him something quick. As there were three and they all rotated shifts.
Henry lays in bed looking up at the ceiling his father doesn't check on him, though that wasn't a surprise both men had big days today and ahead. Sometimes sleep was better than affection. " Oh god what have I done?" Henry asks himself as the feeling of aki's lips brushed him making his mind run wild. If he slept at all it was only for a short time the other hours where spend looking at the stars and letting his head float into the clouds.
