closed starter for @thefandomagenda // octavion x gannicus
do you want me to fuck you in front of your friends or not.
a silence fell over the room as those words hung in the air around them like a dense fog.
stretched out over a collection of pillows and other plush blankets, octavion was dressed in a loose linen shirt that fell open to expose his chest and tight leather pants; his crown, his necklaces, his rings, his usual adornments were left behind in an attempt to appear more casual for that was the intent of the night.
he wanted things to be casual.
gathered with him were his most trusted advisors and the members of his court that had the honor of spending time with octavion like this; when he went by his name and not by his title. they were, if a king was capable of having them, his closest friends.
gannicus was there as well.
his greatest distraction.
it had all started playfully but the more time octavion spent with the other man, the more time the king wasted in finding ways to flirt with him; to tease him. his attraction to the man, and even his affection for gannicus, had become obvious. none of them were surprised when octavion told them he was going to host a small gathering late one night so they could all finally meet.
he had the finest wines in his collection uncorked and brought out, as well as the best pastries his bakers could make, all in hopes of keeping his guests entertained while their worlds clashed. he didn't stop to think, for one moment, about the flirtatious nature of how he had invited gannicus to join them or of the weight the rumors (debaucherously sinful orgies and feasts) about his usual gatherings might have held in the other's mind.
he didn't worry about any of that because, to him, this was casual.
do you want me to fuck you in front of your friends or not.
the question was blunt; the blondes tone unforgiving, and irreverent as he addressed octavion as if he were some brothel courtesan rather than a king.
blinking, a bit of heat rising to his cheek bones and across his clavicle, octavion propped himself up on his elbow and looked up at gannicus and finally broke the stagnant silence settled over them.
“is that why you think i called you here?” he questioned with a slightly furrowed brow before continuing on, his voice softer this time. “is that what you hoped tonight would bring?”
