Eurion clinked their glasses together at Sláine's private toast and took a sip of his drink once more. His stubbornness pulled through and everything was working out. He had his mate, he had Skyfall and their night together and nothing was going to go wrong. At least not for the next few hours. It was only a matter of time before the Eclipse started, Eurion could tell from the way that more and more people were gathering around them and inclining their heads up at the space above. The stars glittered and twinkled, a few brighter than others, and the moon was beginning to move into position. Soon, the stars would start falling, and he would hold his lover close and experience the beauty of the festival with him.
"I waited far too long for our paths to cross," Eurion said, wrapping his free arm around Sláine's waist to hold them close. He took another swig of his drink and felt the freshness wash down his throat and into his stomach, "I gave up on finding you, Sláine. For a long time, I thought I would never find you. And yet against everything, I found you, and I wasn't going to let you get away from me that easily."
Not after all he had been through to get to that point. Gods be damned, fate could fuck itself. Whatever stars had alined to finally put the prince in his life he silently thanked but Eurion had needed a stroke of luck and had found it in Sláine. In the prince that had comforted him that first night at the palace, checked on his wounds and saved his life by making sure he made it to his friends alive enough to be healed and to be cared for. Without him, Eurion would no doubt still be wandering alone. At least now he had someone. Whether or not they wandered together was up for debate. Whatever happened after Aideen's little scavenger hunt for the Old Gods was up in the air but he couldn't bring himself to care more than a few thoughts at the moment. Right now, he had the most handsome man in his arms, smiling up at him as if he were the only person in the whole world that mattered, and Eurion knew he was giving Sláine much of a similar look.
Two halves of a whole now found and fitted together. The torture of the past week of not being able to hold and talk had proven that they were one in the same, that they completed each other. He hadn't known what he was missing until he had found Sláine. Now that they had each other, Eurion was going to do everything he could to stay with him.
