Quickly, time passed by. It always did, in Kaos at least. Theo's attendants and servants prepared him in the finest of robes, and Elias awaited Theo in the bridal chamber, redoing his makeup over and over again. He didn't really need it, he was handsome enough already. But when it came to preparedness, Elias had always kept things on hand, in a sense. Made sure there was an avenue out. Not of the wedding, he wanted the power that came with this. The only thing he didn't want was Theo to mess things up. This kingdom would be reborn in holy fire, whether it wanted to be or not. But that was a tad hyperbolic. At any rate, Elias would be changing some things for both kingdoms.
Most of the wedding ceremony would be held without Elias. He'd only be there for the bonding, and then to take Theo back to the bridal chamber for the consummation. Brides typically had little say in things, and Elias had made the situation even more unusual with his demands. Theo would 'control' him, certainly, but he would control the kingdoms in Theo's place. Usually, Theo would be the one with everything, but Elias had been very convincing to Mother and she and Father had eventually come to the conclusion that Elias was probably going to kill Theo anyways, why not spare the need for a transferring of power?
It was fair to say that Theo had two breakdowns while he was getting ready, because the constant shaking and being practically mute was just as bad as the crying and vomiting. It was made worse by the guilt and shame. They hated when he did this. He wished he could just suck it up and do what was best for Theia. Usually, they could, but was this too much? As prince, he had to put aside their own wants and desires for their kingdom’s sake, he knew this. They knew this, and yet, they were always so selfish. That’s what Mother and Father always said, anyway.
He had wanted to wear a nice, flowing dress, just so that they would look nice and also have room to breathe and be comfortable, but their attendants said that Elias would be the one to wear the dress, he shouldn’t have to wear one too. Theo, confused, just complied and went with loose robes and pants. They kept the topknot and accessories, and Theo asked them not to do anything else with their makeup.
Even as the servants and attendants finished up and directed him to the bridal chamber, he still felt woefully unprepared. One of the servants, who were always trying to be helpful, reminded them to take deep breaths and not think about anything else but breathing as he walked. This helped somewhat, in the sense that he didn’t feel like he was on the edge of another breakdown anymore, but they still ended up dissociating the whole way there. He didn’t even remember how he got from their rooms to bridal chamber. They just opened a door and suddenly… they were there.
(I have outfit drawings of Theo if you want to see)
The ceremony had been held, and Theo had looked as if he wasn't even there. Elias had been escorted back to the bridal chamber, and led Theo with him. Theo had taken on the responsibility of King, all without a single word from Elias. Minus, of course, the actual throne, which would be passed down to Elias via a coronation ceremony two weeks from now. In the meanwhile, Elias had the duty to provide heirs, and provide heirs he would if that was of great concern. He eventually noticed that Theo was going through it a little, and pushed and directed him until he was sitting on the bed. The magic used in the bonding ceremony required consummation, and Elias did want the coronation to be considered valid. Thus, sitting Theo down, and beginning to remove the dress and underclothes that so tightly bound him, managing to get the dress off and begin unlacing the corset before he noticed Theo again. Theo… probably didn't want this, but they had to. Comfort was never his style, but he decided to sit by them anyways, taking Theo's hands in his and looking at him closely. "If I have to force you to make tonight work, let me know ahead of time so I can tie you to the bed now instead of later with your next breakdown." he said.
(Lowkey crying rn I feel so bad for my boi)
(Elias, eating popcorn and literally just now noticing that Theo might not be That Into This: bro wtf)
(Aaaa sob)
(On the other hand this will get him to resent their parents realll quick)
(Oof yeah. And Elias will be like "yes yes all according to plan yes" because he's just. Like that.)

(Anyways here's my last post, take your time responding!)
Theo sat on the bed, staring at his lap, utterly numb. They were only vaguely aware of Elias undressing in front of him. He might have stayed like that for the entirety of the consummation, numb and out of their body, but then Elias decided to sit next to him and take their hands.
They kept their eyes on their lap, still and listening. Then he closed them. They couldn’t do this. He couldn’t. More than that, he did not want to do this. He did not even really understand what would happen, or what it meant. He was woefully unprepared.
They opened his eyes. A darkness came over them, and he ripped his hands away from Elias. “How about I knock you over the head if you so much as touch me again?”
"Hmm. You'd probably die before trying. I've been trained in various forms of martial arts, as well as I have the unique ability to turn most anything into a weapon. Trust me, if I didn't have to do this I wouldn't." Elias said. "You're hardly a face worth looking at, and you're too scrawny for my tastes." he added. Elias looked at Theo for a moment, then to the locked, barred window, then back at Theo. "If you promise not to cause trouble, I will make this a pleasurable experience for you. If you've never slept with someone before, I promise you, I'll make it worth your while. Just… once is all I'll ask." he said, looking at them in a way that to anyone who didn't know Elias, would come off as gentle, honest almost. He continued undressing, corset slipping off and revealing an undergown beneath. "I'll let you set the pace. But… well, you seem to not know what you're doing, so I'll do my best to guide you as well, if the two can manage to happen simultaneously."
Theo raised an eyebrow. “I seem to recall you calling me handsome once,” he commented. They finally looked at Elias directly, and let out a sigh.
No, he had never slept with anyone before. Mother and Father made sure of that. We cannot allow any disgrace to our name, nor any illegitimate children, was what Mother always said. So Theo was often kept isolated, and only given a vague birds and bees talk which only left him confused and afraid of what would happen if they didn’t do as told.
“I highly doubt it will be pleasurable, no matter what you do,” they grumbled. They didn’t trust the look on Elias’s face, but it must have done something, because he said defeatedly, “Fine.” It was easier to just accept the inevitable than to actively defy it and make this more difficult than it already was. But even then, Theo did not move or make to remove their own clothes.
Elias internally cheered for himself, but externally, showed little emotion beyond a vague disappointment that he seemed to always have for everyone he interacted with. "Don't worry, I've been with other men enough times to know what I'm doing." he said, and it was true. He had indeed been with many of the knights in his castle, the only way rumors of this were stopped was because Elias was, in truth, fucking terrifying and would probably kill anyone who gossipped even if that resulted in a genocide. He moved closer to Theo, taking their face in his hands. He began to kiss them, ever so gently, little pecks on his lips and cheeks, making every move to make sure they were comfortable even if in truth Elias really only wanted to complete the spell that bound them.
(I'm not sure what you wanna do with this, either have Elias eventually stop or just. Take to DMs, so whatever you want to do is fine.)
(Idk, we could take to DMs but I feel I would be bad at writing this kind of stuff. Then again, since Theo is inexperienced I feel like I could write this okay? Idk, what do you want to do?)
(Also, me realizing Theo is touch-starved and now I’m internally dying: this is fine)
(I mean I am happy to like, guide you in the writing of smut. I'm pretty inexperienced myself if I'm honest, I've only been like properly writing smut for a few years now. But like, I'm sure we could make it work!!)
(Also oof lmao poor Theo.)
(Wow look at that, we’re as experienced as our characters dnjdjidij)
(I will say that I am curious, but I wouldn’t like anything too graphic. So we can go to DMs if that’s cool)
