Author’s notes: Holi, or as it’s called in Bengal, “Dol Purnima,” is celebrated, starting early in the morning. Students get up and wear bright saffron colored clothes and garlands of flowers. They celebrate by singing and dancing while accompanied by a few instruments, such as the veena. It also has two other names, “Swing festival” and “Dol Jatra.” Part of the celebration, aside from pelting each other with powdered colors or colored water, it to parade statues of Lord Krishna and Lady Radha around the main streets of the village or city, while swinging them and devotees will take turns swinging them while the women dance around the procession. The head of the family will fast, and says special prayers, after which he smears the statue of Lord Krishna with gulal (powdered color) and offers bhog (In Hinduism, it’s a ritual of sacrifice to the gods) Lord Krishna and Agni Dev. Traditional foods are also severed. Malpoa is one such food. They’re little pancakes fried in oil and soaked in syrup. Holi was celebrated this year on March 20, 2011…
They ran through the streets of the village, celebrating Holi, pelting anyone they saw with colored powder and being pelted in return. They had just rounded a corner when some young boys threw saffron colored powder at Soma, enveloping the prince in a brief yellow haze. The way the setting sun cast its soft rays on him, Agni had another glimpse of his prince’s god-like aura. Soma laughed, and shaking his head, he sent more of the powder up in the air, casting a rainbow-like aura from all the colors he had been pelted with. Agni stared at him, a look of awe on his face. He was sure he was seeing a god instead of his beloved prince.
“Agni? You okay?” Soma said, shattering the illusion.
Agni nodded. “Yes, my prince.”
“You looked…” Soma shrugged. “I don’t know… far away?”
“I thought I saw something,” Agni said, throwing some colored powder at the group of girls, running towards them. “But I was mistaken. Come, let’s go celebrate!”
“Okay!” Soma smiled, and holding up his hands to shield his face, he cried, “Hey!” when the girls pelted them with red powder, before running off. He looked at Agni and smirked. “You look just like your namesake!” he chortled.
“Hunh?” Agni touched his cheek, and looked down at his red fingertips.
“Your face is now all red! Come, Agni!”
Agni laughed. “Yes, my prince!” He hurried after him.
They ran around the village until well after nightfall, leaving only when the prince was tired. They began the trek back to the palace on foot, enjoying a snack of malpoa and raisins; they got from a vendor, who was packing up for the night.
“I had a lot of fun today, Agni!” Soma said between mouthfuls of raisins.
“So did I, my prince.”
Soma yawned. “A pity I’m so tired,” he said, helping himself to one of Agni’s malpoas.
“I’m tired too, and not looking forward to washing up when we get home.”
“Yeah…?”
Agni nodded. “It always wakes me up and then I have trouble falling asleep, my prince.”
“I know how to make you sleepy…” Soma said impishly.
“You do?” Agni replied, chuckling softly as he had a fair idea of his beloved was hinting at.
Soma nodded. “I think we should wash up and then share kama.”
Agni pretended to think it over.
“Agni!”
“That sounds like a wonderful idea, my prince.”
“I thought you would like it!”
It did not take long to reach the palace and once there, they headed towards Soma’s rooms. After quickly washing the color from their hands, they grabbed some clean clothing, and headed to the indoor bathing pool. It was quiet and deserted, everyone having washed up earlier as evident by the pools of colored water on the floor. Setting their clean clothes down, they began to undress, tossing their once white clothing onto the floor, to be picked up later that morning by one of the servants.
Agni chuckled softly.
“What’s so funny?”
“I’m sorry, but you are, my prince. Your face, neck, and a bit of your chest are very colorful, while the rest of you is the same as you always are.”
Soma laughed. “You look very colorful, Agni, just like me.”
“I’m sure I do.” Agni grinned. “Come; let’s wash as much of this off as we can before we get into the bath.” He picked up a jug and filled it, pouring it over Soma’s head.
Soma sputtered wordlessly. Shaking his head, he glared at his smirking beloved. “Agni!”
“Sorry, my prince, but I couldn’t resist.” Agni leaned in, kissing him.
“You’re forgiven…” Soma sighed. “A pity I’m not taller, I’d do the same to you as you look even more like your namesake than you did earlier.” He smiled, lowering his gaze to his beloved’s obvious arousal.
“The sight of you wet and naked does that to me, my prince…”Agni purred, his voice low and husky. Wrapping his arms around Soma, he pulled his beloved close.
“Agni…”
“My prince, I wish we could share kama here, you look so beautiful tonight, but I’m afraid of getting caught.” He stepped away from Soma.
“I know… Let’s get in the water, that way; no one will notice anything.”
“A good idea, my prince. Why don’t you get in while I get something to help wash off the color.”
“Okay…” Soma walked over to the bathing pool and stepped inside. “The water’s still warm, Agni.”
“Good…” Agni said, quickly returning with a bottle of shampoo and some fragrant soaps that Harold West had gifted to the maharajah and his family. He poured the shampoo into his hand, before lathering it up on Soma’s head.
Soma sighed softly. He found having his hair washed by Agni was his favorite sensual pleasure next to sharing kama. While his beloved’s strong fingers gently massaged his scalp, Soma felt himself growing hard with desire. He let out a little sound of pleasure.
“My prince?”
“Nothing, Agni… It’s just that it feels so good when you do that.” Soma closed his eyes and half sighed, half moaned.
“I’m glad you like it…”
“I like it so much, I want to share kama with you, Agni,” he purred.
“As much as I would love to share kama with you, this is not place for it. Someone could walk in …”
“I know…”
“Let’s hurry and then we can share kama all night long in your room, my prince.”
“I’d like that very much, Agni…”
Agni stopped washing Soma’s hair and leaned over, kissing his cheek in reply. “Time to rinse this off,” he said.
Soma nodded, and taking a deep breath, he submerged himself. He slowly surfaced, tilting his head backwards, while Agni got out the rest of shampoo.
After Agni washed his hair, they got out and quickly dressed, before heading to Soma’s room. There, Agni chuckled softly as he followed the trail of clothes, Soma left in his wake, to join him in bed…
