To all ye who want to read this and want to know the plot:

Chronos' Char (CC) is the King’s Champion. Every year, they host a competition, and for the last three years, he has won. Every night, they throw him in a cell with a bit of bread and some watery gruel. After all, what do they care about besides winning? My Char (MC) is a new slave from a different country. MC’s job is to take care of CC’s weapons and to make sure that CC sustains no injuries. One night, when he comes back to his cell, he finds MC lying on the floor in a little ball. CC is immediately on the defensive, but MC assures him to some degree. However, CC is still wary. Can MC get CC to trust them before the championships, and before MC will need CC to at least let MC touch CC without CC flinching?
