Are you okay? Callie signed, a small bit of anxiety nagging at him. He had totally done it wrong, he had been wrong about the entire thing, oh god-

Lucas nodded, his heart pounding hard in his chest. He was sure Callie could feel it just from how close they were. He hesitated for several seconds before gently kissing Callie again, seeming very shy about it.

Oh, thank god, Callie thought to himself, a little surprised but not at all unhappy as Lucas kissed him again. So he kissed him back, reassuring him gently.

Lucas let one of his hands slide up to carefully toy with Callie's hair, his eyes shut by now. He hadn't kissed anyone before, but he'd seen plenty of other people do it, and Callie had thankfully taken the lead anyways.

Callie had been kissed once before, but it didn't count, considering that he hadn't even liked the person who had done it. So you could say this was his first real kiss - he practically melted at the touch, as it had been so long since anyone had done anything like it.

Pretty soon, Lucas had to pull away for air. He opened his eyes, still very flushed, and he couldn't take his eyes off of Callie. He was putty in the other's hands by now.

((do u know what the sign is for i love you it's really simple look it up))
Callie smiled softly, leaning his forehead against Lucas' softly. Was he in love? Absolutely. Jesus christ, he had no idea what was going on today.

(I do, yeah)
Lucas smiled as well, closing his eyes again. His blush lingered, although it was gentler now. Now it was honestly just cute and he didn't look like he might actually overheat or something.

Damn, he's adorable, Callie thought quietly to himself, studying Lucas' face, his eyes darting around it as he took in every little detail.

Lucas's fingers brushed gently over Callie's cheek. It was time like this that he was incredibly glad he had private rooms he could go to without worrying about being caught. Right now was the first time he realized for absolute certain that he was gay, and he was incredibly anxious about it. He couldn't tell his parents of course; they'd flay him. He was their only child, and therefore expected to carry on the family name, but he just couldn't…

Callie was bisexual, and had known it since some of his last days in Australia. No one really cared, so he didn't think it was a big deal. But he noticed a small bit of unrest, uncertainty in Lucas' eyes - losing one sense amplified all his others. Is everything okay? He signed carefully.

Lucas looked away. My parents will be furious if they find out. He signed nervously. They don't know. I didn't know for sure until now.

Callie nodded in understanding, thinking of a response before signing it. You don't have to tell them. Pass it off as clingyness.

He nodded a bit. Aren't they bound to find out at some point, though? I'm not a very good liar.

Why would they ask? Callie signed to him, trying his best to calm Lucas' nerves. Even if they do, I'm pretty good at lying.

Well, I'm their only child. Lucas looked back up at Callie, quivering. They're going to want to betroth me to a woman.

Callie pursed his lips, thinking. That won't happen for a while, will it? You'll have to tell them eventually, but hopefully not soon.

I don't know. It's not uncommon for princes and princesses to marry even younger than I am. Lucas bit his lip, worry filling his eyes.

We can hold it off, then. Long enough for you to tell them, Callie reassured him, his other arm still safely around Lucas.

It'll be a huge thing. Lucas sighed. Who knows how the public will take the news that the only heir to the throne is. He paused, thinking. I don't know the sign for it. That I like boys.

Callie demonstrated it to him, the lifting and crossing of the fingers, with a small smile. And B-I-S-E-X-U-A-L is this, He continued, showing Lucas another sign, with the thumb crossed and pinky finger stuck out.

Lucas repeated both signs a couple times until he'd memorized them. Here, let's try it to make sure I'm doing it right. I'm gay for you. Lucas looked up at Callie to see if he'd successfully conveyed the message.

Callie blushed the smallest bit, the smile on his face only growing. Good. I'm gay for you too.

Lucas grinned, pleased with his success. He flushed lightly when he processed Callie's response as well. How will we break the news to them when the time comes?

Callie shrugged lightly, not exactly sure himself. I don't know. I mean…my mom was gay, so I just told her I was bisexual one night and it was fine.
