From Father to Son

"Then don't," Theos said. "Lay with me," Kemba visibly calmed down and laid on the bed as Theos instructed, his head laying atop his armor. "I'm sorry..." He was sorry more...

"I am a fool. I want to put them in place but first I have to check myself. Raja is trying so hard to make it a grand party and Cora wants nothing but the warmest welcome for us. The coronation isn't just about sticking it to them. Its about our family showing us off to the world." But the world is what wants to destroy them.

They are proud and they want the best for us. I believe in Cora...." Theos said then paused. "I know it won't be easy both on our bodies and our minds but this goes beyond us. They destroy lives. We can't run forever someone has to stand up to them. We have to let them know our kind and our family is not something they can have." Why should that someone be them? Let someone else bother with standing up to these people.

"I am afraid Kemba..."They both were, but seemingly for different reasons. "I am afraid I won't be what everyone needs. I want to be lost with just you.....but if I could save hundreds of my own species....then who am I to place what I am worth in comparison," The only thing that matters.

"We've grown up way too fast. Our families destroyed by Dark Helix and now there is a weight on our shoulders. One we can't shake off no matter how hard we try. A wise bird once told me they don't make nests until they are ready for the responsibility of family. I have a responsibility as a prince one I can never shake." Can't you understand that you're my family, my responsibility? "I won't run.....I don't want to regret a single moment of my life. I want to be a hero of legend just like in the stories that made me come down from my mountain. If I could save a single life. Then it would be worth it," Kemba's eyes welled up as he laid there, his paw on Theos back.

His paw slightly gripped him, "You already saved a single life....you saved mine. You saved it more then once, over and over and over again." A tear escaped his right eye, "Why won't you let me save yours?" Kemba asked with a broken whisper. "I don't want a hero of legend....I just want to live a happy life with the love of my life." Kemba said, he paused to regain his composure a bit.

"Don't hold the coronation...please." Kemba asked. It would be his final plea, he would not bring it up again.

"You already saved a single life....you saved mine. You saved it more then once, over and over and over again." A tear escaped his right eye, "Why won't you let me save yours?" Kemba asked with a broken whisper. "I don't want a hero of legend....I just want to live a happy life with the love of my life." Theos gave a sad smile. They had saved each other.
Without Kemba who knew what would have happened in the mines. Saved him and killed him.....he guessed that would make the counter zero again. 


"Don't hold the coronation...please."

"Without it I am not a prince.....but we could control it," Theos said looking into Kemba's eyes. "I always think of others and yet it just makes you worry about me all the more. You have saved me Kemba. Countless times from myself. Without you I may have grown old and died in those mines or maybe Ara would have me. There are thousands of what ifs both future and past," Theos said touching their noses together. "I want those ifs to be nothing but good ones but that is impossible. So I am going to do what I think is right even if it is wrong."

Theos closed his eyes, "We'll make the party smaller. We can stay inside and only show ourselves once. We can limit our exposure to the dangers and eliminate some of the ifs. I want to make you happy.....but that means compromise for both of us."

"I love you Kemba," Theos said kissing him finally. 

"Without it I am not a prince.....but we could control it," He didn't fall in love with a prince...he fell in love with Theos. "I always think of others and yet it just makes you worry about me all the more. You have saved me Kemba. Countless times from myself. Without you I may have grown old and died in those mines or maybe Ara would have me. There are thousands of what ifs both future and past," Kemba's expression of concern remained, even after their noses touched.

"I want those ifs to be nothing but good ones but that is impossible. So I am going to do what I think is right even if it is wrong." So, his words couldn't change his mind after all.

"We'll make the party smaller. We can stay inside and only show ourselves once. We can limit our exposure to the dangers and eliminate some of the ifs. I want to make you happy.....but that means compromise for both of us." Compromises? He didn't like the idea of compromising Theos's safety.

"I love you Kemba," Kemba closed his eyes, the taste of Theos's lips caressing his own. It was sweeter then any plump of sugar and a reminder of what it is he was living for. Kemba did not allow Theos to pull away, taking his paw and holding the back of his head.

Kemba returned it with twice as much passion. The silent reverie of the room broken by the sweet sound of their kiss. The overflow of affection causing Kemba to weep during this intimate moment. He didn't wish for it to end, he wanted to continue to feel this way and be in this moment. His tears traveling down his face and dripping to his breastplate. Each drop shining as they passed through the moonlight.

The kiss lasted to Kemba's satisfaction; half a minute in all. He pulled away from Theos and looked him in they eyes; his paw stroking the back of Theos's head affectionately. Theos seeing his tears for the first time, and the reflection of moonlight on them a testament to his heart. He smiled, with his soft wet golden eyes looking into his partner's soul.

"I love you more then anything Theos, and all I will ever do is keep you safe. Everything that I am is yours, and yours alone. If you insist on the coronation, I will not stop it or protest it any longer but never ever leave my side. Not even to use the bathroom. That is the only thing I need to compromise on. If we get captured together, then I will spend all my days in captivity beside you. I have no where else I need to be. No where I want to be." Kemba raised his free paw and rested the palm of it on Theos face; rubbing his cheek with his thumb.

"I will even follow you into death itself but I will not take your life, not ever." Kemba sniffled, "I'm sorry for yelling at you." He said touching his nose to Theo's, his movements causing the tears on his armor to run off into the bed sheet. He closed his eyes sniffling once more. The moonlight moving to shine on them both on that bed.

Theos kiss was returned ten fold. He lost himself in the feeling of their hot breaths mingling. He wanted to forget it all for this one moment. 

"I love you more then anything Theos, and all I will ever do is keep you safe. Everything that I am is yours, and yours alone. If you insist on the coronation, I will not stop it or protest it any longer but never ever leave my side. Not even to use the bathroom. That is the only thing I need to compromise on. If we get captured together, then I will spend all my days in captivity beside you. I have no where else I need to be. No where I want to be." Theos could do that. He kept his head close to Kembas and smiled softly and lovingly.



"I will even follow you into death itself but I will not take your life, not ever." Kemba sniffled, "I'm sorry for yelling at you." His nose touched Theos once more and after a moment Theos licked at his cheeks cleaning them of the salty water.

"I'll never leave your side," Theos reassured. "My words pained you. I deserved to be yelled at. There is nothing to apologize for," Theos said. He got up hovering over Kemba to undo the clasps to his breastplate. After getting it off he would lay down as close to him as possible. To where their chests bodies touched their tails could intertwine. hey were both upset and sad and wanted to be lost in one another. That is exactly what they should do and what they would do. Theos encouraged him with a grind into their privates. Until finally Kemba would take him once again in a moment of passion that would leave them both satisfied and sleepy. Theos would slowly fall asleep afterwards listening to Kembas breathing and his heart......no their heart.

"I'll never leave your side," Theos reassured. "My words pained you. I deserved to be yelled at. There is nothing to apologize for," Kemba released Theos's face and head laying down and watching his mate raise up and begin to undo the clasps of his breastplate. One clip came undone causing the weight of the piece to shift, then the second came undone and it rested on his shoulders. Theos clasped the plate in his teeth and pulled it off of Kemba's body, revealing his complete nakedness. His white fur was even more beautiful in times like this, and every fiber belonged to Theos.

Theos face was flush with thoughts of what he wanted to do to him, the warmth of his body on Kemba. There was not even an inch of space between them and Kemba did not stop watching Theos as he moved about. Kemba's tail crossing over Theos's tail. His heart began to beat faster and he could feel Theos begin to beat with his chest pressed against his own. Theos positioned his back leg over Kemba's and Theos made his intentions known, the grinding of their members together sent a chill up Kemba's spine and his cheeks soon matched the color of Theos. He felt himself slowly becoming excited.

Theos would take him tonight and for a moment their problems and concerns would be non-existent. They would spend most of this night becoming one. The time of this intimacy lasting to the early hours of the morning, they would sleep soundly in each others embrace. It was unlikely they would make breakfast the next morning. Kemba found himself wishing for many more nights like this in the future. He would not fall asleep first, watching Theos slumber on his body. He'd smile and give him a final kiss on his head, before resting on it to join him in sleep. Together, they slept soundly to the beating of their hearts.

Theos woke up slowly stretching as he did so and burying his head into Kembas chest to block out the light. He remained there a long moment before raising his head. He looked out the window noticing the sun. It was maybe an hour or two before noon. He rolled off the bed onto his hooves and stretched some more. he went over to the balcony and sat there licking his fur the pieces spiking out with each lick.

After a moment he went back in and jumped on the bed nuzzling Kemba to stir him if he wasn't already awake. It was already late he was sure the triplets and Cora were wondering where they were. They had another busy day today and probably for the months coming as well. They were had to go help with preparations for the Coronation.....and finish Magi's homework before going to class. Something he had completely forgot about til just now. 

"Time to get up sleepyhead," Theos would say smiling. "We have a busy day ahead of us."

Kemba slightly stirred when Theos woke and moved from their comfortable embrace. His half open eyes and semi-consciousness watched the blur move to the balcony before nodding back off. "Time to get up sleepyhead," Kemba cracked open a single eye and moaned as he looked at a happy Theos. Kemba raised his paw and repeatedly and gently patted the top of Theos head, "Snooooooooze." He said, unfortunately for him, Theos was not an alarm.

"We have a busy day ahead of us." Kemba sighed and stopped patting Theos's head; his paw finally resting on it. He opened both eyes and looked at Theos. "I hate the word busy...and even more when it has day in the same sentence." Kemba yawned and sat up in the bed stretching; his body reminding him of last night's events. His tired eyes scanned the room and glared at the blaring sunlight, "Go away sun...give me last night back..." He said. He looked back at Theos and smiled, "Good morning."

"I'm not ready to start the day yet..." Kemba said moving his face towards Theos and touching noses. "I haven't had my breakfast, and I know just what I want." Kemba softened his gaze and kissed Theos once on the lips to give him a hint. Kemba licked his lips, "Just how I like it too." He said.

He chuckled and moved in to give Theos a deep loving morning kiss. Kemba wrapped his arms around his mate and pulled him over his body to the other side of the bed, laying with Theos once more. Kemba wrapped one leg around him and finished his kiss, "That was a fantastic breakfast. I may look for seconds." He giggled.

Kemba rubbed his private against Theos once or twice, "I almost want to take you again this morning but this busy day will not wait for us." He sighed, "So my lovely Theowmon, pray tell, what does our day ensue?" Kemba said moving in to kiss Theos's neck slowly and in multiple places. These were his favorite moments, just him and Theos.

Kemba would purr as he continued to do so, even while Theos spoke, admittedly trying to excite him, while succeeding in exciting himself slightly.

"Good morning. I'm not ready to start the day yet..." Theos chuckled as they touched noses. "I haven't had my breakfast, and I know just what I want." Theos raised an eyebrow and they kissed a slight chuckle on his lips, "Just how I like it too." He said.



Theos let himself be taken yet again the kiss long and wet leaving him breathless a moment, "That was a fantastic breakfast. I may look for seconds." He giggled.



Theos let out a low rumbling sound of pleasure, "I almost want to take you again this morning but this busy day will not wait for us." He sighed, "So my lovely Theowmon, pray tell, what does our day ensue?"

"I think first a bath then lunch. Maybe do our forgotten homework so we have it done in time for Magi's class. Then of course practice dancing and meet Raja to tell her where to find Jared and help where we can," Theos said his tail wagging slightly.

"I think first a bath then lunch. Maybe do our forgotten homework so we have it done in time for Magi's class. Then of course practice dancing and meet Raja to tell her where to find Jared and help where we can," Kemba mm hmm Theos as he spoke, continuing on his partner. "I'm okay with doing that." Kemba said mumbled with his mouth pressed against Theos. "I best stop. I may get lost in the moment. he he." He said pulling away from Theos, "All's well that end's well I guess." He sighed and rolled to the side of the bed. His member slightly erect, he'd have to wait it out before leaving the room.

He looked around for his armor pieces but could not locate them, he hadn't realized they were on the opposite side. He stood and turned to face Theos, "I don't know where I put my armor. Though I won't be going anywhere sporting this." Kemba crossed his arms and watched Theos a moment chuckling. "I want to become a Lord." He said suddenly. "If I am to be with you here in Coraggio, I'll need to be one. That way it doesn't cause you any problems with the townsfolk during your party." Kemba sighed. "Not that I know how to be one." Kemba stated, "I wonder if I will get my own servants." He laughed at the thought.

"All you have to do is promote me to one right?" He asked.

"I'm okay with doing that." Kemba said mumbled with his mouth pressed against Theos. "I best stop. I may get lost in the moment. he he." He said pulling away from Theos, "All's well that end's well I guess." Theos chuckled also half hard. After last night though he wasn't sure he had enough left in the tank.


"I don't know where I put my armor. Though I won't be going anywhere sporting this." Kemba crossed his arms and watched Theos a moment chuckling. "I want to become a Lord." He said suddenly. "If I am to be with you here in Coraggio, I'll need to be one. That way it doesn't cause you any problems with the townsfolk during your party." Kemba sighed. "Not that I know how to be one." Kemba stated, "I wonder if I will get my own servants." He laughed at the thought.



"All you have to do is promote me to one right?" He asked.


"Indeed I can name one person to become lord at my coronation and once I do we can be married. Then you too will be a prince. We can learn to be princes together," Theos said smiling and rolling out of the bed. He held up his gauntlet showing him where the pieces were. He chuckled and set them on the bed. "Just think of an old wrinkly digimon," Theos said chuckling. Theos thought of an old wrinkly Babmon and it definitely worked.

"Indeed I can name one person to become lord at my coronation and once I do we can be married. Then you too will be a prince. We can learn to be princes together, Just think of an old wrinkly digimon," Kemba flushed at the mention of marriage. He chuckled, "Marry huh? I never considered an official ceremony. I just always considered us married." Kemba took his armor and dressed himself. Kemba laughed, "Was that a proposal by the way?" He asked walking around to Theos, "Plus, the only wrinkly digimon I think about is Jared. He's the only one I know and he seemed very energetic." Kemba said putting the final piece of his armor on his head.

He picked up his sword and placed it in the belt strap. He wrapped his arms around Theos neck, "Well, I'm ready." He said smiling.

"Marry huh? I never considered an official ceremony. I just always considered us married." Theos smiled. In some ways they were. Though for it to be recognized elsewhere the ceremony was probably a must, "Was that a proposal by the way?" He asked walking around to Theos, "Plus, the only wrinkly digimon I think about is Jared. He's the only one I know and he seemed very energetic." Theos chuckled at their shared thought. "Well, I'm ready." He said smiling.


"Good thing or we might be late to lunch. And you are only going to be removing them again in a moment. Come on you hunk lets go take a bath," Theos said kissing him and sliding out of his arms. His tail smacking at Kemba playfully before he ran for the door and opened it. A grin on his face the entire time.
