Lucien held him close and kissed him again, smiling lightly. He closed his eyes, letting out a soft breath.

Aki melted into the kiss before looking up at the other. "Care to dance, my King?" He asks softly.

Lucien smiled. "I'm not the king yet, love, but yes." He replied happily, kissing Aki again.

Aki hummed. "You are my light, my life, my hope. You may not be on a throne yet, but you are already my king." He replies quietly, leaning into the kiss.

Lucien blinked, holding Aki close. He smiled a little. "I uhm…am not quite so good with words as you are, so…I have no idea how to respond, if I'm honest."

Aki laughed quietly, kissing his cheek. "You being here is all I need." He whispers as he kissed the others cheek. He wrapped his arms around Lucien's neck, fiddling with his hair.

Lucien smiled, and tugged him closer. "Mm." he pressed a soft kiss to Aki's mouth. "Good. Because all I need to be happy is you. I don't need my crown, or my throne. Just you."

Aki blushed a little bit, leaning into the kiss. He nuzzles into his arms before looking up at the other. "Just me?" He laughed softly, "And you said you weren't good with words." he teases, kissing his cheek gently.

"I'm not!" Lucien replied, smiling and returning the kiss. "Not as good as you, anyway." he held Aki closer, arms tucked around the other male.

"Yes you are." He laughed in reply, his eyes shutting in bliss. He was happy like this. Lucien was warm, was kind, was someone he loved so desperately. He sighed happily, just soaking in the warmth.

"No, I'm not." Lucien argued teasingly, kissing the top of Aki's head and gently running a hand through Aki's hair.

Aki giggled quietly. "Whatever you say." He mumbles before looking up and smiling innocently.

Lucien smiled. "Mhm." He agreed, holding Aki close. "Maybe I'll have you write all my speeches when I'm king. Think that would work?"

Aki nuzzled into Lucien, his eyes shutting as he leaned into the warmth of the other. "That can-" He paused, looking up. You… The wind whispered in his ears. His eyes narrow a little bit before he glanced at Lucien, shoving it to the back of his mind. "I think that can work." He smiled a little bit, kissing his lips sweetly.

Lucien smiled, kissing Aki back. "Mhm. Good." He replied. He sat down on a nearby bench, gently pulling Aki into his lap as he sat down.

Aki smiled a little bit before following after Lucien happily. He settles into the others lap, sighing happily as he shut his eyes. He felt happy like this, safe even.

Lucien held him, letting out a soft breath. "I love you." He said softly, closing his eyes.

Aki leaned into him and smiled a little bit, "I love you too." He kissed the others cheek, his eyes shutting in blissful peace.

Lucien smiled at him, holding him close. "I'm sorry about…my dad." He said softly. "He's just…he's stressed from everything that's happened recently."

He nods a little into Luciens chest. "It's okay." He whispers. "I understand he's stressed." He shuts his eyes.

Lucien nodded a little. "That doesn't excuse what he said, I know, but…" He sighed softly, and kissed the top of Aki's head.

Aki nods a little, shutting his eyes tightly to stem the tears. He felt like everything around him was crashing, Lucien his only foundation. He had lost everything to the plague. Now he was here, and he knew he would be nothing more then a consort in the Kings eyes.

Lucien held him tightly. "I'm not marrying a woman." He said firmly. "Never. I…" He didn't want that. He wanted to marry…marry Aki, if he could. Even if they hadn't known each other that long, he still cared for the other male more than he had ever cared for anyone else.

Aki trembled a little. "What if you have to… Unless…" His mind started running. If would be risky, and possibly dangerous but… He knew Lucien would try and stop him if he knew. "Never mind…" He mumbles. "But what if someone better comes along… I'm not that interesting…" He says hesitantly.

"Yes you are." Lucien replied. He kissed the top of Aki's head. "You're plenty interesting. And I don't think anyone better could ever come along."
