“Yuuto... Do me a favour and tell my father that I won’t be joining him at breakfast today.” Niles spoke from under his covers, not even bothering to look up at his butler when he entered the room.

A long night of staying up doing various un-princely things had left Niles unreasonably tired. It possibly wasn’t fair to force Yuuto to go sort out the mess he’d made of himself, but he was too hungover and weary to care right now.

@pinkxmerchant answered your ask: "Yuu! It's me! Bet you barely recognize me with...

Yuuto stares at the man before him, seemingly speechless as he blinks one, the twice. It’s been quite a long time, but there was no way he’d forget that face.

“Asugi!” In seconds the prince has his arms thrown around his friend, even lifting the ninja up from the ground in his excitement.

“WHOA!” Asugi burst out laughing as his friend lifted him up, honestly surprised by the show of strength. “Y... Yuu, c’mon, buddy! Put me down! Sheesh!” Asugi laughed, hugging him in return.

This... Felt like a dream come true, honestly. Seeing his one truest friend again after months away... He could hardly believe he was real. Grinning, he pulled his face close for a loving kiss. He’d missed this, as well...

@pinkxmerchant answered your ask: 

“Erm…We might have exchanged a few words back and forth. What ever is the matter Asugi?”

So it WAS true. Asugi tried taking a few deep breaths to still his heart. To quell the rage rising within. It wasn’t working.

“So you told him about everything I told you, then? About my mom? My anxiety about having to live up to his crazy expectations? My Sensei?! Jesus, Yuuto -- why not tell him I sucked your FUCKING dick while you were at it?!” 

His temper was flaring at full force by now. Even his best friend wasn’t saved from the brunt of his anger as he laid into him savagely. “Yuuto, I’m asking you this as a friend, but DID YOU LOSE YOUR GODS BE DAMNED MIND?! I told you those things in CONFIDENCE! I wasn’t asking you to go broadcasting my deepest darkest secrets to the one person in the world I didn’t want to find out!” 

The young ninja began kicking FURIOUSLY at the door, needing some sort of outlet to take his aggression out on. He looked as if he wanted to tear a small woodland creature apart with his bare hands. “He practically lambasted me for it -- told me how shaming it was that I had to get my best friend to go to bat for me, even though I swore that I had nothing to do with it all! I was fucking humiliated! How the FUCK am I supposed to trust you from now on?! I thought we were FRIENDS! How could you DO this?!”

Niles was pretty sure he would never get used to being in Hoshido. Being allied with their army was one thing, but having to actually visit the country was entirely another. It was so hot, and so bright, and so full of life.

There was only so much of it that he could stand at one time. Consequently, Niles found himself wandering the gardens around the palace, trying to find a shady spot to sit. Finally, a good place caught his eye, and he quickened his pace to head over there—

And managed to collide rather hard when someone walking in from a side path. He stumbled back, rubbing his shoulder, and looking the other man up and down to see if he was hurt. “Ugh...shit, sorry. That was all my fault.” Niles wouldn’t often apologise for something like this, but he was in a foreign country and he didn’t fancy starting any wars today.

(petals-to-ashes) "Mating Season" because this merchant boy is gay and in love with certain ninja and will happily 'lend' a hand.

“Y-Yuuto???” In a flash, Asugi covered himself – luckily he hadn’t been so far gone that he’d been caught in the act. “Uh – hi. Sure – you can come in! I’m not busy! Haha! I’m not busy at all! Hah… Ha.” 

Sweating.
