Aki snickers softly. "I suppose that's true!" He hums and plays with Lucien's fingers, pressing a soft kiss to the back of his hand.

Lucien laughed a little. "Yeah, and our skin would look all weird."

"True, true. So shall we get out, then?" he asks softly, a small smile on his lips.

"If you'd like." he replied.

He nods. "It would probably be wise so that we don't turn into prunes.'" He chuckles and slowly gets out of the bath and wrapping himself in a towel.

He laughed a little, climbing out of the tub and grabbing his own towel.

Aki hums as he enters the room again and snuggles into some clothes. He gives a happy sigh and falls into the bed.

He pulled on a pair of pants, flopping down onto the bed beside Aki.

Aki instantly curled into his side and kissed his cheek sweetly. "I love you."

He wrapped his arms around Aki with a soft hum. "Love you too."

Aki giggles softly and nuzzles into his arms, kissing his lips softly. He yawns softly and rests against Lucien.

He smiled happily.

"So… are you excited for the party tonight?" He asks quietly, playing with Lucien's hair.

"Mm. I don't know." he replied softly, closing his eyes.

"I mean… For a nice turn of events it's for your cousin…" He murmured softly.

"Yeah, that is nice. It's just…I'm worried my father is going to try and force women on me again." he replied, nuzzling Aki's cheek.

Aki kissed his forehead gently. "I'll just scare the women away. Problem solved." He giggles softly before gently cupping Lucien's cheek. "I will always love you. And I will always stand by your side. I hope you know that my love."

He laughed quietly, leaning into the touch. "I know. I love you too. I just…" he shook his head a little.

"Just…?" He gently pulls Lucien closer, kissing his forehead again and rubbing his hand through Lucien's hair.

"I don't know." he replied, sighing faintly.

He nods slowly and holds Lucien closer, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. "I'm sure we could figure something out…" He whispers quietly. "Maybe we could try talking to your dad?"

"We tried that. He doesn't listen. It's…I don't know." He shook his head a little. "He doesn't…we don't talk. He…he's so focused on…on ruling and being a good king that it's like he doesn't…he doesn't have any time left for me. Not since mom died."

Aki nods slowly and ran his hand through Lucien's hair. "I know… I suppose that there's the thought that maybe your mothers death is making it harder for the both of you to talk… We all have different ways of communicating and processing grief… Your father could be shoving himself into work to avoid his grief…" he murmured quietly.

He shrugged a little. "That, and…and I look a lot like my mom, so. That might be it too."

He nods slowly before kissing his cheek and nuzzling closer. "I'm sure that things will get better over time." He whispers, hugging him closer.
