#(I CANNOT HANDLE HOW MUCH BRAINROTT I HAVE FOR THIS AU LEGIT

Ahmes’ chambers was a safe place, a sanctuary from the horrifying reality of the world beyond it’s doors. It was the only place in the palace where the prince and his human companion Toshiki could be themselves, free from the shackles of their positions that kept them both chained down. That meant intruders were usually not liked. Ashlei and Percival guarded the outside thankfully, even if Ahmes can’t help but feel like his own knight was one of those intruders more time than not. 

As for Junos, his childhood acquaintance and future right hand Phantom who was today’s intruder, he...he isn’t sure what to make of him. He knows the other isn’t out to get Ahmes or Toshiki. If he wanted to report on what the two did and how they acted behind closed doors, he could have easily done so. The motivation was there too considering his position was of much lower than the younger male’s own. Despite that however, Junos has provided the prince with advice or company on some occasions, such as right now when Toshiki was resting after going through yet another punishment because of the prince. 

He definitely wasn't a bad guy. He was just too hard to read to know just what he was really thinking the majority of the time. That was most likely intentional. He was apart of the Phantoms, after all. They were experts of getting information and keeping information close to the chest. It’s why they’re so valuable to his father. 

Though, it seems like for once, Junos was being up front with him, bluntly asking if he could take a little nibble of the blue-eyed human sleeping on the other side of the room. Ahmes’ face flushing red as he quickly moves a hand to cover his mouth to mask the audible scream he made in response in an attempt to not wake the sleeping Toshiki or altert Percival who was standing guard outside. He so did not need to hear this after what he just went through earlier...

“Ehhhhhh?! You...You want to...do what?!” Even with the dim lighting of the room, the red on the royal’s face was as ruby as his eyes were. Was the color out of anger or embarrassment? Honestly, not even Ahmes is sure. “Junos, you know there are things you shouldn’t make a jest about...”

A pause then as he lowers his hand from his mouth, the prince’s eyes blinking there for a few moments before he keeps going. “You are making a jest, right? You aren’t seriously asking me if you can take a bite out of Toshiki’s neck...”
