After the Banquet
Another Baten Kaitos story by TheLady
I really enjoy writing in short chapters, though when I get to the good parts I tend to write a bit more. If you feel like reviewing, review and tell me if you like this. I may or may not try to write another story, perhaps even a Xelha/Kalas. I'm not against them as a couple. Far from it, actually. I just wanted to see what would happen if you put Lyude and Kalas together, and I must say I rather like the outcome.
Anyway, on to the fun stuff:
This story is NC-17 and involves two men in a sexual situation with each other. Please don't read this if you aren't old enough to do so or don't like this sort of thing. If you really, really like this sort of thing and could give a crap about the story, the sex is in the last two chapters. Enjoy :)

Chapter One: Lyude in a hotel room.
The banquet had been wonderful. There were foods from all of the lands, brought together to show their new alliances, and the festivities were phenomenal. Everyone went all out to celebrate the end of the greatest threat they'd ever encountered. The air, all night, had been full of expectation and celebration and utter, supreme happiness.
Then why wasn't he happy? As he prepared for bed Lyude asked himself this. Why had he hung back, not joining in? There had been many pretty girls asking him to dance. Why had he turned them all down? He just couldn't understand it.
Lyude looked at himself in the mirror. He looked clean shaven and well trimmed, same as always. His hair was in a straight cut, just above his shoulders, and his uniform was in place, with his red tie straightened and tucked in. He was dressed as he'd been taught to dress, in a shiny, clean uniform. He had to leave people with a good impression of the empire.
The empire. What on earth had happened to it? He knew, of course. But it still shocked him. Not long ago he'd had a place, a way of life set and settled. Now it was chaos. His land was chaos. There was no one to lead them.
'Kalas thinks I can lead them,' he remembered. He blushed at the thought. It wasn't so much the insane honor being placed on him, but the man who placed it.
Lyude, for the better part of his journey with the group, had felt... things... for Kalas. He wasn't entirely sure how to put it. He wanted Kalas' respect. He wanted his attention. He wanted to speak with him and fight with him and joke with him. Lyude just wanted to be with him. But not in the same way as a comrade he enjoyed spending time with. More like... well, he wasn't quite sure.
As Lyude pondered this, he began to realize that the dim solemness that surrounded him was lifting. Just thinking about the blue haired boy made him happy. It was an odd thought, and one that Lyude was frightened to entertain. He wasn't like that. At least, he'd been taught not to be like that. Of course, he'd also been taught to kill innocent people in the name of a megalomaniac, so what did he know.
Ah, his whole world was confusion. Kalas, Alfard, his family. Nothing was stable, nothing certain. He didn't like uncertainties. But he was still happy. No matter what happened, Lyude was determined to fight on, making a better life for those around him, and maybe even himself.
