The way you love me [private for me and MsJacobL]

[zajawa]

"Ah so the prince kind of", said Alice with a soft smile. "And our quiet friend here?"

Akira took the cookie from the plate the nice woman brought.. but as he heard the question he glanced at her and then looked on on his knees, crumbling accdentaly the cookie he was holding in his hands.

[RedRose4]

“Yes, I am one but being called Josh is fine.” Josh then looked at Akira, seeing as he seemed to drop his cookie and looked down at his knees. “He had a bad past, was mistreated…” Josh kept an arm wrapped around Akira’s body, kissing the side of his head and speaking, but making sure not to say too much about Akira’s past since it was something only he was told.
“I found him outside, starved and dehydrated but I brought him to the mansion and…well you can see he’s doing better…although his voice is still lost, but he’s doing better.” Josh ran his hand along Akira’s back, hoping he didn’t mind that he was telling Alice this.

[zajawa]

"Awww.. So you found your princess! Did he change your life since you found him?", asked Alice excitedly.

Akira just looked at her with his eyes wide open. How could she say something like this? He wasn't worth being princess or prince at the first place.

[RedRose4]

Josh seemed a little surprised when Alice said that, although he let out a soft laugh and smiled after registering what had been said. “I guess you can say that. He…does mean a lot to me, and of course he’s changed my life. First relationship I ever had.” Josh glanced back at Akira, looking at him and noticing he mustn’t have been very comfortable with such compliments.
“Akira has changed my life more than he could imagine. Although I have yet to tell anyone about being with him, better yet being gay.” Josh sighed lightly and then looked at Alice. “You’re the second person to know actually.” he smiled, of course a little nervous about knowing another person knew about him but it was a little uplifting as well.

Akira hid his face in his hands hearing all that.

"Awww..", chuckled Alice and then looked at Josh quite serious. "You know what I would tell you? Fight for it! No one can tell you who you should love! Love is live. No one is allowed to tell how you should love. Be strong Josh. My family is strictly catholic.. and yet I made them accept my choice.. more or less but still. How would they would look like at you in your family if they would know?"

[RedRose4]

Keeping his arm around Akira, Josh smiled at him when he hid his face, hoping he wasn’t too uncomfortable. Josh then looked back up when he heard Alice speaking and her words…were inspiring to say the least.
“That’s…incredible. And I’m glad you live so happily now…” Josh then looked down, thinking momentarily before answering what was asked. “My parents are both deceased but I’d think they would be rather be okay with my decision. The rest of my family not so much, they’d want me to have children of my own bloodline, my aunt is especially strict.” Josh said but took a deep breath and shook his head. “But I’m not letting them decide on who I love.” Josh said quietly.

[zajawa]

"And what about surogate mother? How do you feel about it.. and the children at all? There is always that way?", asked Alice curiously.

Akira slowly calmed down and now was looking at Josh and Alice, listening to their conversation. It seemed so far it was a really good thing the came here. Alice could help Josh and that was making Akira happy.

[RedRose4]

It was strange for Josh to be talking to someone, it was a new experience. Even with Akira beside him he didn’t mind speaking of such things, even as Alice brought up surrogate children he stayed calm despite it bewildering him slightly.
“I…never thought of it. I guess it depends on if I trust the woman, I’d cherish my child if given the chance. And Akira would have to agree on it as well.” Josh looked at Akira, having no intention of being with any other man since…well why would he? If he had to make decisions, from now on Akira would have the chance to have a voice and do the same.

[zajawa]

Hearing his name he looked at Josh. It seemed to him like he would the answer. 'I wouldn't mind.. Mas.. Josh's children would be smart and all.. Just like him..'

"Why does he call you Master?", asked Alice all of a sudden, being really perceptive woman. "You have relationship like that or there is another reason?"
She didn't seem to be disturbed in any way with her question.

[RedRose4]

Focusing on Akira, Josh furrowed his eyebrows but smiled softly from his words. For some reason, it was a little warming to hear him speak of something so personal in such an open way. When Alice spoke, Josh looked back at her and frowned slightly.
“No, actually while in the mansion people who work for me call me by that name…although I’ve told Akira to call me Josh. He just isn’t used to it yet.” Josh glanced back at Akira and smiled. “Don’t worry, just try to remember to say my name instead okay?” he whispered to him, not wanting Akira to feel bad for saying Master since it wasn’t his fault, he just wasn’t used to it yet.
