"Yes. I can explain to my master. He will understand." He whispers softly. "My master hates the king." He whispers softly. He smiles gently at the other and continues to run a hand through his hair.

"Mmm… understandable. At least he won't be king forever." Cas murmured. "Are you sure you're okay with everyone thinking you're a princess?"

"I'm positive." He replies. "I already look feminine as it is. The amulet will enhance it." He mutters softly. He smiled at the other. He gazes at the other and takes a deep breath. "And we can keep the facade up until your father is removed from the throne and you find someone you can truly love." He says happily.

"You think I don't love you?" Cas cocked his head slightly to the side, seeming genuinely confused. What if my father expects me to produce an heir…? He wondered to himself.

His breath hitched softly at that. Hearing those words… He had never had someone say those words to him. He blushed faintly before smiling at Cas. "I- I suppose." He whispers softly. He smiled shyly at that, feeling his heart flutter.

Cas hesitated before pulling Aki down by the collar of his shirt and kissing him softly. He stayed close to him, his cheeks flushed crimson.

Aki's ears flattened against his skin. He smiled and kissed back slowly, wrapping his arms around the other. His eyes flutter shut as he relaxes. He felt right doing this. He felt happy. He would help Cas in any way possible.

They fit together nicely. That was the main thing running through Cas's mind as he kissed Aki. After a bit, he had to pull away for air and tucked his head under Aki's chin. "Y-You should probably tell the plan to your master soon…"

"Yes… Of course." He mutters as he ran a hand through Cas's hair. "I love you." he whispers as he smiled at the other and gazes at the other. He looks towards the door. "Let's just have a little more time to ourselves." He whispers.

Cas nodded. "I… I love you too…" His voice was soft and he seemed more relaxed as he huddled against Aki's chest. "Thank you… for everything."

"Of course." He whispers as he smiles at the other. He held Cas close and rubbed his side. "Of course, Cas." he mutters, playing with his hair.

"It really does mean a lot… god knows where I'd be without you right now." He hugged Aki tightly. "You're really sacrificing a lot for me."

Aki shrugged. "I don't mind." He whispers softly as he looks down at Cas. "I don't regret what I've done though."

Cas nodded. "I… I could go with you to tell your master if you want, but I'm glad to stay here too. Whatever you want is fine."

"Tell me what?" Zephyr enters the hut, removing his cloak and setting it down. "Hello, Prince. Aki." He bows politely before giving a gentle smile. Aki held onto Cas before looking at his master. "I would like to go undercover as a princess. So that Cas can be happy, and so I can protect him." He says softly. Zephyr smiles before nodding. "I can arrange that."

Cas blushed when Zephyr came in, huddling a little closer to Aki. "I'm glad you understand, sir… th-thank you…" He looked a bit different than at the party. He was disheveled and anxious, and his easygoing nature was temporarily put aside. He was glad Zephyr recognized him, though.

Zephyrs hair was in a messy ponytail, and he was in more casual clothes. He smiles at the other before ruffling Aki's hair. "Here. Let me get the amulet along with some clothes." he chuckles gently before finding a few nice dresses, (Zephyr sowed a lot and practiced many types of clothes), a tiara (with magical traits of course), and the amulet. "Alright, Aki. Go change." He instructs the kitsune, offering the clothing and amulet. Aki kissed Cas on the forehead before standing and taking the things and hurrying into another room. Zephyr changed his gaze to Cas. "Please… take care of him."

"I promise I will… I'll try not to distract him from his studies too much. I know how much it means to him to be your apprentice." Cas dipped his head politely, seeming to get anxious when Aki left to change. He'd never been too good with being left, considering his separation anxiety. That's what Nix was for, though.
(Nix is his emotional support cat. A quality boi)

"It's not just that. Aki has been abandoned time and time again. Please… Stay with him." He glanced at Cas. Aki came out of his room and sighed softly. His pure white hair had become a soft, raven black color. His eyes remained the same. His ears and tail hidden from view, and a soft, swirling dress around him as the amulet hung from his neck, the tiara perched on his head. He cleared his throat and smiled a bit at Cas and Zephyr, but it was a nervous smile. "How… how do I look?" He asks softly.

"I promise I won't abandon him." Cas said earnestly. When Aki came out, he said, "You look great, Aki." with a soft smile. "Should we call you something different so people don't get suspicious?" He asked, standing to be closer to Aki.

Zephyr nods. "Then you have my respect." He says gently. Aki blushed and smiled a little bit before kissing Cas on the cheek. "How about Aria?" Zephyr suggests. Aki nods a little bit before smiling at Cas. "I love you." He whispers.

"Love you too." Cas looked Aki over. "This is so strange… you're very attractive as a woman." He hummed. "I mean, I'm gay, but that doesn't mean you're not beautiful." He was quiet for a moment. "Should we let my dad cool off before we go back?"

"The king is cooled off, which is why I returned here." Zephyr smiled faintly. "Be safe, my apprentice." He says gently placing a hand on Aki's shoulder. Aki nods. "I will be, Master." He glances at Cas and laughs gently. "Thank you, love." he mutters as he gently takes Cas's hand.

Cas nodded. "I suppose it's time to go back, then…" Cas sighed, preparing himself mentally to go back. "How do we get out of here?" He asked Aki while turning to him.

Aki gently took his hand before guiding him out of the hut. He waved to Zephyr before focusing. He carefully willed a rift to open into Cas's room before smiling warmly. "Here we are. Ready?" He asks gently.

"Not really, but here we go anyways." Cas stepped into his room with Aki and was greeted by a very soft looking black cat with bright blue eyes. "Hi, Nix!" He picked up the cat and held it close, smiling. "I don't think you've met Nix yet, have you?"

Aki awwed at the cat before smiling warmly at the cat. "No, I haven't met Nix. Hey, little guy." He says softly, smiling warmly at the small cat.

"He helps with my separation anxiety. He's trained and stuff, so I can take him wherever I want." He scratched behind Nix's ears. "I've got a couple other cats, but Nix is the only one who's trained."

Aki smiled a little before settling on Cas's bed and giving a happy little sigh. He gazed at Cas with a soft smile at how happy he seemed to be with Nix.

"Oh, here they come." Cas looked over at two cats entering the room, followed by three little hopping kittens. "Hey, guys!" He sat on the floor and was swamped by his cats.
