Act 1: I Like Guys

"I am In Love with you." Sweat is starting to form in his forehead and between his nose and lips. Then he rubs his hand together.

This is one of distinct mannerism of Ian when he gets very nervous.

Ian is a gay that concealed his gender preference ever since he realizes his deep affection for this man in front of him, his bestfriend, Zacari.

Zacari and Ian has been friends forever and he(Zacari) never suspected him(Ian). But today he laid his self bare as he confessed his undying feelings.

Ian is scared but after not hearing any response from Zacari he lifted his head only to be deeply hurt as Zacari looks at him with disgust and confusion.

He lowers his head and rubs his arm with the other hand and shy away with bitter smile.

Yesterday, Zacari told him that he confessed to his long time girlfriend and she agreed to marry him.

Zacari wants his help to prepare his wedding and even asks him to be his bestman.

The agony and pain in his heart when he realizes that Zacari will never know his feelings made him brave enough and confess to him.

Not in any place but in their office.

Even the fiancee of Zacari who is their co worker are very shock.

Who is Ian? He is the company's owner son. The future owner. They cant afford to make him as an enemy.

But that is not what going through Ian's head. He just wants him to know. He just wants him to reject him.

"Ian...You are sly." Zacari said as he walks away.

Not even a rejection.

Ian is burden by this pain.

Is it better if he didn't tell him?

Is it better to just hide his feelings?

He is drinking alone in the rooftop building but as he drowned himself in alcohol, misstep and died.

He never know what happened to Zacari but he wishes that he wont misunderstand him and don't think he attempts suicide. He is scared of pain and grotesque, after all. He just hope his handsome face remains intact after his fall but who is he kidding? He fell from 26th floor building!

****

When Ian opens his eyes he realizes that he gets reborn.

The place is spooky as the air feels thick of black smoke but surprisingly he is not choke by them. Actually he feels comfortably breathing them.

Blinking his eyes and looking around he has this funny impression of vampire themed ancient palace where the setting is in dim but majestic horror place.

Terror envelopes him when a huge monster with enormous horn appear in the door. His face is handsome but ice cold and pale. He looks down at him and reaches toward him. His nails are sharp and long that made him shut his eyes in a hurry.

He feels someone raises him in the air gently and securely tuck him in their embrace. When he opens his eyes the handsome but a monster like man smiles at him.

"Arent my son handsome?" He gently said contrast to his chilly face.

"Ofcourse. He is as magnificent as your Majesty Lord Demon King."

'Hey What?' Is the first thing that enters his small head.

Then as a cue he looks at his back and he sees a mirror. The handsome chilly face monster is caring him...a baby!

'Oh Gawd. Oh Gawd. Is this that? The legendary reincarnation to a different world????' the little child wriggle in the King's arm but didn't succeed as expected.

He looks at his feeble arm.

'Urgh, so useless!'

"Don't struggle or Ill slam you down, my child." The Demon King said as he frowns but gentle raise him up in the high.

The little child is so vexed but look closely, he doesn't look like his father at all.

Is he an adopted child?

Will he really slam him to the ground? Will he die again after reincarnation?

He pitifully sobs.

"My King it appears the Prince is scared of your taunt."

"Don't be foolish. How can a new born child understand a grown up? Even if he is my child?" the King shakes his head and punches the followers head so loud his face is stuck in the ground.

'Hiiiiiek!' the baby almost fainted in fear.

But the next second, the said demon went back to his feet and brushes the stone and dirt in his shirt.

'Holy...Shit!'

***

Five years has passed.

The young demon Prince, Zenzur, is already big enough to be called child. He can walk and run like any other 7-8year old demon. His physic is also thanks to the blood of the Demon King father and his Orc Queen mother.

Surprisingly, he is a beautiful demon who even succubus refuses to be compared. It appears his Mother is a white skinned variant orc with beautiful face.

"Father! Father..." Tears trickle down the youth face.

The King is now sapped with vitality. He has been eating great miasma to relieve his people burden but also ruin his health in the process.

"Son, Where are you Son?" this gigantic monster is his father. At first he cant accept such thing but this man who love him wholeheartedly is now an irreplaceable part of him.

Zenzur takes the King's suspended hand and place it to his cheek.

"Father, I am here."

"Yes. Yes. This smooth and tender skin.. My Queen...My Son really resembles his mother the most."

"Um...." Sobs with painful sobs he clutches the hand who is lightly rubbing his cheek.

"Don't Cry Zenzur. Such an attitude is not befitting of the next Demon King."

"No! We can save father. If..If we asks the human to spare father with the Holy Divine Water...We can...We can save Father!"

The King frowns.

"Who told you such lie?"

"A lie?"

"My son, Holy Divine thing...If we consume..We will die." The King starts laughing.

The innocent Prince is shock.

"But...Really?"

But Demon, contrary to Human beliefs, arent really creature of the darkness. Its just their constitution is not suitable to the fertile land with abundance of magic.

Their habitant has always been near a swamp damp place where miasma always lingering.

The King smiles.

"Im kidding. But even with that Divine water, my body is already crumbling. It cannot save me."

"But what if it can?"

The King rubs his son's head.

"Human doesn't think so highly of us. But you cannot blame them. Our ancestor once betrayed humans and now they see us as enemies. Its our fault so step back."

".....Mistakes of ancestors is not the fault of their precedent!"

Tears flows even more.

Why does it become like this?

He, Zenzur, is happily living in this world with his father. They eat root crops, fish and meat sometimes. Eating Miasma is also a part of their daily activity but too much will ruin their body....just like what happened to the King.

"I will die soon. I want to eat more miasma as possible." He said as he sighes.

ZEnzur clenched his fist.

"I want you to nurse your body but instead you want to become a tree so badly!?"

The human doesn't know but divine tree where Divine liquid came are actually the deceased Demon Royalties or Supreme being in Demon Country. It's a grave secret that Demon hide.

Because no one knows what the human will do to the youth demon if they found out that deceased demon can turn into holy trees.

Well, young demon cannot literally turn into a holy tree, only those with abundant of demon energy like the royalties.

That is why Zenzus asks his father to drink a divine Water cause it has a concentrated healing ability.

But the resting place is regretfully on the human territory and as the war against human is raging all direction. They cant really get the antidote without dispensing military might.

HE is only 5 years old.

What can a child like him do?

But once his father dead, he will be crown King and he will say goodbye to his youth.

"Father...I...I like men."

His father hand that is caressing his falter only for a while.

"I know."

Zenzus is shock.

He stare at his father.

"But it is not a smooth path. You are a King. If...You find a woman strong enough to endure your demonic might then good. But once she gives birth she will die to nourish your baby. Same as the man you will choose."

"What? Is that what happen to Mother? She died for me?" another painful shock wave. That is very evil way of giving birth!

"Yes. I....Demon King's demonic might is unparalleled. If your mother and I has equal strength then she can endure giving birth to you. But....sadly, no one can equal the might of the King...I...I tried to stop her from marrying me but she....she is such a sweet woman. Saying she wants to give birth to my son. You see a King should give birth to a son. I am ashamed that I cant protect her.That is why you grow up without a mother."

"It is the same as every demon King sons . It's the same as your father.".

"hmmm.."

"You are tired. Ill see you tomorrow. Promise me.".

"hmmm.."

When he went out he grabs the King loyal knight, Demu.

"Did...Did Father said a man can conceive just now?" he said as if in a hurry.

"Ofcourse! But only those superior in class. I can conceived too if you want to try but I don't want to mother your child, my prince. I will die."

"Demu....I never think of you that way, sorry."

To be a mother.

A chill run in his spine.

He loves it.

The thought is very nice.

A man giving birth, if his parents on Earth hear that they will question his sanity but here its possible..

But his father died.

The Kingdom cannot afford to offer their King to become a bride and die due to giving birth, its unheard of.

Again.

Zenzur needs to hide his gender preference again.

Hide it deep inside.

Until it may eventually die.

A/N:

What can you say?

Not interesting?

Hmmm?

Then sigh.....
