Ayce nodded. "You don't have to ask every time…" He said softly, arms still around Nolan.

Nolan smiled. "Okay darling." He bent his head and kissed him softly.

Ayce kissed him back, closing his eyes as his lips met Nolan's. He curled his arms tighter around the other male.

Nolan placed his hands on Ayce's hips. He started to deepen the kiss.

Ayce inhaled quickly, tipping his head a little. Can't it just stay like this? I don't want to go back I don't want to I just want to stay here like this. That would be perfect…

Nolan slowly pulled away though je didn't want to end the kiss. "Come on darling. We should get going before it gets too late."

Ayce nodded, opening his eyes and looking up at Nolan. "Okay…" he replied slowly, dropping his arms reluctantly.

Nolan took his hand and led him oitside to the stables. He purchased a horse for them and got it ready for their trip. "Ready darling?"

Ayce held his hand, and nodded. "Yeah." He replied, eyes wandering over the horse carefully.

Nolan helped Ayce on to the horse before mounting it. He gripped the reins and kicked the horse into a walk. "Hold on darling, I don't want you to fall."

Ayce was seated behind him, and he tucked his arms around Nolan carefully, resting his chin on Nolan's shoulder. "Alright." he replied softly.

Nolan kissed his cheek quickly. He sped up into a run until they got back to the woods, slowing down to a walk again

Ayce stayed still, eyes flickering around as he took in the view as the horse ran. He took a deep breath, letting out a soft sigh as they entered the woods.

"Doing alright?" Nolan asked him, tilting his head back to look at Ayce

Ayce nodded. "I'm okay." He said softly, arms still around Nolan.

Nolan placed a hand on one of Ayce's arms. "Good. Let me know if you need to stop."

Ayce nodded. "Okay." He replied softly. He hesitated for a long moment, then slowly pressed a soft kiss to Nolan's cheek.

Nolan smiled at the kiss. "Do you want to hear another story?"

"Sure." Ayce said, leaning his cheek on Nolan's shoulder contentedly.

Nolan thought for a couple moments. "There once was a small village. In this village there was a lonely baker. He spent his life baking goods. It was a boring and lonely life. Then one day a stranger came to the village. He had many stories of the world outside. The baker found jt fascinating but he tried not to show his interest. The stranger noticed, however, and came to visit the baker as his store was closing."

Ayce listened, arms still locked around Nolan contentedly. He closed his eyes to listen better.

"The baker was skeptical and hesitant, repeating telling the stranger to leave. But the stranger refused. Instead he engaged in conversation, or at least tried too. As night rolled in, the stranger finally left. The baker let out a sigh of relief. He cluld go in with his life with no more interruptions, except the stranger came back the next day, and the next, until he was no linger a stranger but a friend. He would tell the baker stories of his adventures. And one particular night, they went from friends to lovers. Eventually the village found out and tried to run them out of the village. But instead of running away with their tails tucked, they gladly packed their things and left. The two of them travelled tge world together, seeing all the wonders nature had to offer. They found a priest who married them. Until their death, they travelled happily together. Only settling down when they were too old to travel any longer." Nolan finished, looking back at Ayce

Ayce made a soft humming sound, opening his eyes and looking at Nolan. "Your stories all end the same." He observed, snuggling closer to Nolan and keeping his arms snug around the other male's waist. "But I like them."

Nolan smiled. "I can start changing the ending up if you'd like." He mused. "I just thought you'd like them to be happy."

Ayce shrugged a little. Happy endings aren't real… He swallowed. "I don't know…" He replied softly, still leaning his head on Nolan's shoulder.
