The Blur ~*+Vikklan AU+*~

' 7 '

~*Vikk*~

I walk (more like run) towards Lachy and I's last meeting place. Don't tell me he isn't there. Please, please don't tell me he has already left.

I can tell Preston isn't that far behind me. It makes you wonder what Preston actually does beside guard. Most likely nothing much.

"Vikk. Tell me we aren't going to the head gardener's home," Preston says as I turn onto the main street.

"What?"

"The head gardener, Robert Woofless lives near the very edge of the city in a small cotta- that's where we're going. Aren't we?" Preston stops dead in his tracks.

"Preston? Why did you stop?"

"I realized something. How Rob never really wanted me to see his home."

"Preston?" I turn around and look at him in confusion.

"He lives with The Blur! It all makes since now. Vik, I can take the lead from here," Preston mumbles before running past me. I didn't understand a word he just said. Lives, Rob, since? Preston, you have have confused me so very much.

"O-ok." Confusion clouds my mind as I run after him. What was he talking about?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Rob!" Preston yells as he runs into the alleyway where Lachy and I last met, "Robby!"

"Preston?!" I turn into the alley to see Preston and another vaguely familiar man holding each other, "How do you know where I live?" the man asks, holding Preston out at arms length.

"I'm the head guard Robby. I know everything." Preston coos. Preston never talks like this unless he's flirting with someone, or... oh. That makes since.

"Rob, I was going to-" I look over to see Lachy standing in a doorway. His face paled and he was looking at Preston. Only Preston. His eyes wide with fear. An assassin's worst fear...

"Lachlan! No, no, no it's not what you think!" Rob says letting go of Preston and turning to Lachy. Lachy doesn't respond as his eyes look over at me.

"Lachy! Please calm down. Preston promised not to arrest you if he met you," I say walking over and hugging him. He was as stiff as a board, and had no reaction. None.

"Craft. If I was here to arrest you, we wouldn't be looking at each other right now," Preston growls, showing Lachy his bare hands. Still nothing.

"Please Lachy," I say looking up at him. He looks me in the eyes. His blue eyes flash through hundreds of emotions. Before I could react, his hands move to my face and he crashes his lips into mine.

~*Rob*~

I watch in surprise as Lachlan fiercely pulls the prince into a kiss. The two are exact opposites. Tall, and short. Pale, and tan. A peasant, and a noble. An assassin, and a prince. It's quite the tale. I'm sure the story will be told for centuries to come.

"Rob, let's leave them be," Preston whispers into my ear as Lachlan's hands slide around the prince's waist.

"Y-yeah," I say as Preston's hand goes to my back, pushing me out towards the main streets.

"I've never seen Vikk like that," Preston says with a sigh, leaning against the parlor building.

"Like what?" I ask, tilting my head to the side.

"He looks so fragile, and small beside that guy. I feel like I have to keep him away just for that reason," he chuckles lightly.

"That's just the guard side of you talking. I get it. Vikk looks like a small little daisy to Lachlan and his bundle of rhododendrons," I lean against the parlor beside Preston.

"I don't understand anything you just said, but I'll just say you said the same thing I was trying to," Preston and I laugh quietly, "Hey, Rob?" Preston looks over at me.

"Yes Preston?" I match his beautiful amber gaze.

"What are we?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, what are we? Are we friends, or something else?"

"I-I don't know. Are we?" Stupid Rob, stupid! He literally just asked you that Rob! This is why you can't find a job that doesn't involve flowers!

Preston chuckles and leans closer to me. My heart starts to race and I start to flush. "I don't know. Do you want to be?"

"I-I uh--"

"Preston, I hate it interrupt an intimate moment, but the princess has ordered a full scale search for The Blur. She retrieved word from Lady Craft that he is a very tall, blonde haired and blue eyed man," Sir Kenworth's, Preston's second in command, voice echoes through the clearing before he enters my line of sight.

"Surely she doesn't--"

"She stated clearly that she requires all guards, on or off duty, to complete the search," Preston mutters a curse under his breath before looking Kenworth in the eyes.

"Fine. I'll search the alleyways over here. You can go look west of the gates. He likely hasn't gone far," Kenworth nods and turns to walk away, but not before casting a suspicious glace back at Preston and I. He doesn't trust him. This is bad. This is really bad.

"Preston, I don't think-"

"I know he suspects us. He's probably leaving to get back up. We need to hurry. Now." Without giving me any time to react, he grabs my wrist and charges into the alley.

~*Lachlan*~

I watch Preston and Rob run into the alley just after Vik explained to me Preston's intentions. "Craft, get out of the city," Preston says stopping in front of Vik and I.

"What's wrong?"

"The Princess has ordered a full scale search for you; Kenworth is suspicious of me. You need to go now before he gets here with back up," I take a deep breath and look at Rob.

"Is this true?"

"Yes Lachlan! You need to leave before he finds out!" Rob says waving his hands fearfully. I shake my head and sigh.

"Fine. Vik, take this," I say taking an ender pearl from my pocket and handing it to him.

"Why would I need this?" he asks, looking at it in confusion.

"Just in case I won't be able to be stop anyone from hurting you. You throw it."

"Ender pearls? Those are--"

I interrupt Preston, "Illegal? Yes I know that."

"No... not just that. They're virtually impossible to get. How'd you get them?"

"I have my ways. Now, I'll be in hiding. Watch your backs, and don't trust anyone else," I take out another pearl and throw it. Just before it lands, I kiss Vik on the cheek.

As soon as I appear on the top of the building, I crouch down and sneak towards the edge. "Sir Preston will serve punishment if he is found guilty of these crimes you accuse him of. In the meantime, he is innocent unless he is caught doing these acts. Do I make myself clear?" a vaguely familiar voice says.

"Yes my Princess," Sir Kenworth mutters.

"Now get back to looking! The Blur needs to be caught by the end of this month or our plans will have to be stunted," Plans? What is that woman talking about?

"Will do." I bite my lip before ender pearling out of the city.
