The emperor stood in his large bedroom filled with expensive, eye catching decor, arms crossed behind his back and staring out at the night sky from behind his window, gazing at the clouds and the stars glittering the vast darkness. Yet his mind wander elsewhere, oppressed by his thoughts and frustrations of recent events. He let out a low growl, his head falling forward, soft brunette hair falling over his pale face.
The man let out a huff as he clawed at the wood beneath the windowsill, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. They did not get it... He got away! How could this have happened?!

"What's the matter, darling?" A deep voice greeted from behind. "You should be happy, especially with me around."

The emperor's ears perked, looking over his shoulder to let his eyes immediately settle upon the figure standing in the doorway to his room, draped in a black cape and his head covered by a hood that cast down shadows on his pale face. How could he ever mistake those eyes and the burns scaring the man's face? For a split moment, a smile lifted on the tyrants pale cheeks that slowly gained a faint pink hue. Unfortunately, the happiness was quick to fade, the pestering thoughts retuning that boiled the blood in his veins and made his head fill with irritating pressure.
Once again, he let out a sigh and looked down to the floor covered by a soft, red carpet. The other male standing in the doorway pulled down his dark hood, revealing his pale, burned, and scared face with patches of ashy black and red. His raven hair was a mess, knotted and matted but not as severe as it would have been if not for emperor insisting of grooming it on occasion. What stood out the most, were the two eyes within his sockets that were pure white and glowed like stars.
He tilted his head, giving out a snicker before taking another two steps into the room.

"Didn't I do well tonight?"

The king finally answered him with his throat vibrating with a faint growl. "Of course you did very well, Hero. I'm just frustrated that Grayson managed to escape, with the dragon egg!"

Herobrine chuckled, remembering the bodies of Grayson's family hanging by their necks at the gallows as he ordered their executions, hearing them choking and necks snapping as they dropped, slowly suffocating to their deaths. And Grayson just stood in the crowd and watched it all happen, not doing a thing to prevent his family from being murdered. Pathetic. He could not help but to laugh.

He smiled, his bright teeth parted to show his pink tongue and bright glow within the back of his throat. "Don't threat, my darling. I'll take care of him in due time."

The emperor only rolled his eyes, huffing as he crossed his arms over his chest. The demon giggled at how cute he looked while frustrated. Herobrine walked closer until his body nearly pressed against the other male who was slightly taller than his vessel. His hands reached out, taking the kings and pulling both of their bodies together until the pressed against one another, the emperor instinctively leaning down to smash his lips against Herobrine's. Hero moved the emperor's arms, putting them around his waist.
He pulled back and growled as the emperor did the same, stepping back and forcing himself away from the demon. The white eyed executioner forced himself back onto the royal tyrant, this time twisting his body and forcing him to sit on the bed. He sat on top of his lap, pressing his lips against the king's until his tongue found a way into his mouth. The king felt himself getting warmer with the demon's advances. The emperor tried to pull out, groaning but not in pleasure. He forced his head back, wiping away the saliva with his sleeve as he turned away.

"H-Hero...I'm not in mood..."

Herobrine tsked and stood. "Well that's a first." His smile returned, closing his eyes as he removed his cape and set it on the painted oak wood vanity. "Fine. If you're going to be all moody, then I'll just leave."

The emperor almost immediately, but unintentionally let out an objection. "Wait!" He bit his lip. "I-I..."

Herobrine giggled in his deep, malevolent tone of voice. The emperor felt heat rise up in his neck and into his cheeks as a soft blush spread from cheek to cheek, causing Herobrine to smile and come back in, once again sitting upon his lap and stroking his cheek, telling him how cute he looked while embarrassed. The compliment only made the emperor's blush deepen, himself attempting to hold back a moan as the demon began to once again stroke his chest.

  "What will happen if Grayson hatches that dragon egg? What will he do to my empire? What will he be able to do to you?!"

Herobrine then grabbed his chin and forced him to look into his bright illuminated eyes. He couldn't help but to look down at his lips that were chapped yet still somehow soft before looking back into his eyes as his grip tightened, becoming a bit painful.

  "That fool isn't going to do anything to me, or to you! He can't do anything to us! I will not allow it!"

He huffed, his arms lifting up and going over the emperor's shoulders, wrapping around his neck and pulling him closer until his face nearly dug into his neck and chest. He leaned in closer, tilting his head to the right, their lips so close and at a perfect angle to just lock together.

"Don't worry. I will find him." He whispered at first, his voice louder for what he said next. "Besides, the longer Grayson is out there, alone and racked with guilt for letting his family die, he'll just be suffering! Isn't that better than just death?"

The emperor smiled and chuckled, beginning to cheer up. He smirked, grabbing the vessel's hips and pulling him closer, pressing Herobrine against his own body. He then combed his fingers through the messy raven hair on the demon's head, feeling his frustrations slowly beginning to fade. Finally he forced his head down, their lips colliding hard against the other pair. Herobrine pinned his wrists beside his head as he forced him onto his back, sinking into the soft sheets and mattress, their fingers entwining as the kiss deepened and things grew warmer between the two...
...

A few months later...

The emperor paced back and force, waiting for his lover to arrive. He usually came around this time, but today he was running late. Perhaps he was just getting carried away with destroying another city again... The brunette human huffed and stopped in his tracks, closing his eyes and taking in a deep breath to relax himself and steady his racing heartbeat. Something scratched at the back of his mind that something was wrong, making him anxious. Come on, this was Herobrine! He's always getting into trouble and getting carried away!
His closed eyes snapped open and ears perked as he heard a sound against the floorboards. He stood up straight and faced the doorway, seeing his lover standing there, slouched and leaning against the doorframe for support to stay upright.

  "Hero!" He immediately sprinted to the demon, knowing that something was wrong with him.

He took a hold of him and pulled him up, holding his shoulders firmly. Herobrine held his right eye, his smile twisted as if he were in pain, alarming the imperial emperor. That did not make any sense! Herobrine was unable to feel pain! He cupped his lovers cheek, brown eyebrows farrowed and concern gleaming in his eyes. Herobrine let out a huff, looking up to his mate, the emperor able to see the faint slit of a silver pupil within the bright white glow.

  "Hero, what's wrong? What happened?" The emperor demanded an answer, holding his shoulders tightly.

The demon pushed him away, sluggishly walking around him and sitting at the foot of the bed, keeping his eye covered as he growled and twitched. The king stared at him, his heart racing in worry.

He finally answered, clawing at his eye. "I managed to find one of Grayson's old friends...he's an Enderman hybrid, and a very powerful Mage." He hissed and and huffed, feeling weakened.

The emperor's eyes grew. One of Grayson's friend's? He ran back up to Herobrine, kneeling down in front of him between his parted legs and placing one hand on his knee with raw skin, exposed from the large hole made from burns, and the other on his upper leg by his hip. His gaze locked onto his lover's lifeless yet alluring eyes, or at least the one that was uncovered.

  "Was Grayson with him? What did he do to you?" Once again, he demanded answers.

Herobrine chuckled. "He was alone, but..."

His arm lowered, revealing his right eye. The emperor let out a gasp, pulling back only slightly from shock. Herobrine's right eye was no longer a soulless, glowing void of white, but a dim cyan hue. His eye twitched and upon a close inspection, the mortal could see tears. The emperor's lips shook before his brows lowered, growling out underneath his breath, asking what that hybrid had done.

  "He somehow managed to rip a piece of my essence away from me in order to save the other soul that is in this vessel....but I suppose that this is not entirely a misfortunate."

The emperor stood, his anger still boiling and curiosity rising. "Hero, how is it not all bad?! We don't know what this could do to you!"

The demon laughed, then smirked, wanting to stand but he was still feeling weakened after a piece of himself was ripped away from this body. "That part of my essence that he ripped away was placed into his own body. If that hybrid ever finds Grayson, I'll be able to know and I could lead your men to him, or better yet, to that dragon egg."

The tyrant felt his frown slowly lift up into a grin. The panic that arisen within him began to slowly fade, his heart no longer racing in fear but from joy. So they had a chance at finding Grayson now? A chance at getting back the egg before Grayson finally figured out how to hatch it? A chuckle rose from his throat.

"Is that so? Well, that's wonderful, darling!" He walked over to the demon, getting down and sitting on his lap, his hand lifting up with his finger gently stoking his cheek. "Although, I'm still worried about you. Just stay here and rest to get your strength back, please."

Herobrine snickered, wrapped his arms around him and pulling them both back onto the bed. They pushed themselves closer to the backboard and sinking into the soft mattress as they laid there with arms wrapped around each other and cuddling against the others body. They both laid there for a few minutes in silent bliss, eventually falling asleep in each other's embrace.
