Evan was in fact sat on Marius's bed, tears rolling down his cheek. His tough act could only last for so long, plate and utensils sat on the bedside table as he looked up. He immediately wiped away his tears and tried to put up his usual official front, but more tears rolled down his face as he looked away. "I'm sorry I can't be your usual protector Marius. Marianna is very…insensitive." He had begun to shake, unable to help himself.
"It's okay… it was my turn to stand up to the bitch anyway." Marius pulled himself up into Evan's lap and huddled up with him, sighing softly. "I told her I wouldn't let her string up your lover since 'your love life is none of her concern' or something like that… but y'know, I'd also rather not be strung up." He yawned a bit and glanced over at the door to make sure no one was following them.
He laughed a bit, and wiped away at his tears. "Yeah…" He sighed as he reached over and grabbed a sausage, taking a bite of it,falling silent as he held Marius,tears making streaks in his makeup as he continued to try to stop crying.
Marius stuck a sausage in his mouth as well, his tail flicking a bit at the taste of meat. He seemed to really like it, and it was easier for him to chew with his sharp teeth. "Hopefully I'll be able to keep the bitch in line… she's honestly insane." He laughed weakly, sticking close to Evan.
He nods. "Yeah. Oh have the rest of my sausage by the way, I'm not very big on meat." He sighed. "And I can barely keep you in line, so good luck getting her on track." He shook his head. "I wanna cover you all over in kisses and little love bites but I know it bothers you so I won't."
Marius shoved the rest of the sausages in his mouth and rolled his eyes at Evan's second comment. He flushed a bit at the last, considering. "Um… I guess I could bite you. If you wanted me to, anyway… it just might hurt a bit."
"What-no. Love, I'm just trying to best accommodate to you. And honestly it'd probably turn me on." He kissed Marius's cheek. "Just enjoy your food and don't worry about it love." He sighed and rocked Marius in his arms a bit, just enjoying the way Marius felt in his hold.
"Oh… okay." Marius kept eating, yawning a bit as he huddled up with Evan. "Where are we gonna meet when Marianna and I are married?" He asked. "She probably won't want to let us spend time together, you know…"
He laughed. "In the library, whenever you have questions. That's where I'll be spending most of my time." He kissed Marius's cheek. "There and in the town. I love spending time in foreign towns." He sighed and shrugged. "And Marianna can't completely control you so. Slip away and see me as you please just don't make it obvious we're lovers."
Marius nodded a bit. "I'll probably mostly see you in the library… I don't like going out into the town." He rested his head on Evan's shoulder and nuzzled into his neck, purring softly. "I'm sure you remember that, though. I just hope we can hide it well enough. As you can probably expect, I'm not used to forbidden romances or anything."
"Oh I think it's only a matter of time before they find out. Let's just hope things turn out good when they do." He shook his head and kissed Marius all over his cheek, soft little kisses, as he began to pet Marius. "I sure do love you and your purrs. So cute, and sugary sweet." He said with a chuckle.
"Am not…" Marius huffed a bit and looked away, flushing when Evan started smothering him with kisses. "You're so mean to me." He settled himself more comfortably in the other's lap and yawned again, exposing his sharp teeth. "Marianna's gonna just have to deal with us being together…"
"Yes so mean. Me kissing, complimenting AND cuddling you is oh so cruel!" He teased with a smile, and kissed the other cheek with just as many soft little kisses, and nuzzled into Marius. "And you are too. So don't give me any of that Mr. Pouty. Pouting and denying it only makes you cuter."
Marius stuck his tongue out a bit, huffing indignantly again. "I'll pout if I want to, dammit." He closed his eyes when Evan kept kissing him, whining quietly. He turned his ears back and the fur on his tail bristled a bit from the stimulation.
"Pout as much as you want, it only makes you absolutely adorable." He kissed Marius's head and returned to petting him as he grabbed a piece of fruit and ate it with a smile, pulling Marius in closer. "I love you Marius."
"Mm…" Marius grabbed some more to eat as well, still pouting. "M'not adorable… I'm intimidating." He insisted. "I'm gonna be king soon for god's sake, I… I can't be cute, Evan…"
"You're not intimidating. You're mumbles and pouts and tiny weak little arguments are adding to adorable little you." He kissed Marius's nose. "King or not. You're my cute little sugar, and that's just that." He lay down and pulled Marius on top of him, cradling him in his arms.
Marius looked away and sighed, falling quiet for the moment. His ears drooped and he seemed to be curling in on himself a bit. He really didn't want to be underestimated any more than he already was. He wanted people to fear him or he'd never be respected. But apparently Evan would never respect him like that… Marius was just a pathetic marshmallow in his eyes.
(Not pathetic. Cute! Especially in a maids dress~) Evan rubbed Marius's back and held him tightly, when there was a knocking at the door. It was Evelyns voice. "Crystal wants to see you Marius. And Evan too." And then there was the retreating of her jingling bells. Evan groaned and buried his head into Marius, flipping over so Marius was on bottom, and he curled around Marius, pressing his head into his lovers neck.
(Lol)
Marius flushed a bit when Evan pinned him and pushed the other off. "C'mon. You're crushing me, and your mother will be expecting us." He slipped off the bed and pulled on his mask before leaving the room. He left without Evan, seeming a bit pissier than usual.
(Evvvvvvvvv)
(We should finish this scene with whatever you were thinking Crystal wanted to talk about and then probably time skip to the wedding)
(I forgot what crystal wanted oops-OH YEAH! Nevermind)
Evan picked up Marius and gave him one last kiss before setting him down and walking off, already feeling alone and empty without Marius in his arms. "Evelyn!" She was practicing her tumbles in the main room. "Where is mom?" "Library Evan." He nodded and headed up the long flights of stairs and strutted into the library. Crystal was sitting on a chair completely made out of pillows, and she smiled. She gestured her hand and two more chairs pulled up. "Sit, sit. We have matters to discuss." Evan plopped himself down, and waited for Marius to follow suit.
Marius followed Evan up, obviously having more trouble with the stairs than the other did, but less trouble than usual due to actually being able to breathe through his mouth now. He sat down in the chair provided for him and sighed softly, clearly still a bit huffy, winded, and annoyed. He crossed his arms, looking up at Crystal with one eyebrow raised questioningly.
She folded her hands into her lap. "I know Marianna is a handful, especially with you two as lovers. But. I am considering calling off the marriage." She said frontally. "I thought if Marianna met you, she would like you and straighten up her act, but her beastly actions have proven that a queendomship is just not in her foreseeable future. With that being said. Marius. I would like to take you to Obdin with us as we head home. You will be upon the claim of upon hearing Evans stories, you wished to study abroad. Unless you think of something else. I must save your sanity and Marianna simply is not matured enough."
Marius seemed a bit confused and had to stop himself from audibly speaking, reminding himself that Crystal didn't know about his mouth yet. Uhm… is that allowed? He asked. I mean, this is my home, and this is the throne I'm the heir to… is it just a temporary thing for research purposes? Will we be coming back? I don't want to lose Evan…
