What is it that you want?&#8221; He muttered, looking to him for a mere moment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Kris smirked. &#8220;I want you,&#8221; he murmured, &#8220;I thought I&#8217;d said that before. One night, Harry, and I&#8217;ll be gone forever.&#8221; He traced a finger down the bone behind Hal&#8217;s ear. &#8220;I want to kiss you and bring you and leave you yearning. Please?&#8221; His voice slid to pleading.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Henry moved back a few inches from Kris, turning to face him. He took the other&#8217;s hand away from his own person, exhaling. &#8220;Gone forevermore? A bit drastic, is it not?&#8221; He laughed to himself, looking down before giving Kris a glance. &#8220;And if I refuse it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll still be gone. Your acquiescence to this makes no difference to that.&#8221; Kris shrugged, green eyes flicking downward. &#8220;I&#8217;ve got this one night, this one day, here. When my time is up, it&#8217;s up, and I&#8217;ll not be here ever again. &#8216;Tis nothing to do with you, my leaving.&#8221; He looked back up at Hal, face bleak. &#8220;I thought perhaps it would be easier, knowing there&#8217;d be no one around to &#8230; ruin your reputation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Henry frowned slightly, averting himself as he thought. One night, just to leave so abruptly? &#8216;Twas strange, he had thought, having a person to be with for one day simply leave at the next moment..&#8221;This is not to be about my reputation..&#8221; He replied, turning back to Kris.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Oh? Then what is it about? Because I was certain sure that was what you said before. Say what you mean, Harry, say it clear, don&#8217;t dress it up in pretty words.&#8221; Kris&#8217; frustration came through clearly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I do not know. Simply, and there. I know not.&#8221; He had a hold of Kris&#8217; hands tightly in his grip, though not meaning to hurt him and had no intention of it. He was not sure whom he had to listen to; there were standards to live by, if not, he was not so sure of it. Uncertainty and disowning had frightened the prince, he looked to the other carefully.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Harry.&#8221; Kris spoke softly, moderating his tone. &#8220;Hal. You&#8217;re hurting me. This isn&#8217;t supposed to be about pain.
