go ahead and do the thing, if you want to.

The motorbike that Lyam had obtained was of fine make, certainly good enough for keeping in Flaezia when he wasn’t on Earth or other similar planets that had such devices. He kept it tucked away in a room where no one would find it, that was except for Ryan who was now giving him that look of distrust. Or was that scolding? He could never be sure with him. “What?! I wasn’t about to leave it on Earth where it could get stolen, it’s too fine of a treasure to not bring home with me. And it’s not like I go riding it around here: much, anyway.” A gleam of something mischievous crossed the high fae’s face before he said, “Unless you want to take it for a spin with me? I’ll let you drive this time, so long as you don’t run into any trees and you stay off of the king’s path.”

Henry had just come back inside from his polo practice. It had been a rewarding one for sure and he was of the belief that he was ready for his match this weekend. Sure, he wasn’t entirely ready for all of the paparazzi that came with a polo tournament, but he enjoyed feeling the wind breeze through his hair while he was on his horse. Spotting his twin lingering on a settee with a book in hand, a wicked idea crossed Henry’s mind. They didn’t get to grow up together as twins might, but Henry was willing to change that no matter how old they were. He went up behind him and poked at him playfully with said polo stick that still remained in his hands. Before he could catch the likely angry look on his brothers face, Henry made a mad dash for down the hallway of the palace.

The yawn that had escaped Gabriel was in other words, obscence. He stretched his long limbs and an arm draped over his husbands shoulders dramatically. Always the drama with him, even when he wasn’t really trying to be. “Do you really have to finish this paperwork tonight?” Gabriel had fortunately finished his own, two redbulls having helped him speed through the royal paperwork he’d had to do earlier. “We go to bed now then you can get up early enough to finish it in the morning, you know,” Gabe said, hoping his encouragement would work. Though when it came to Nicholas, that wasn't always the case seeing as he was more stubborn than Gabriel was sometimes. “Come on, I miss having you going to bed with me. You’ve been staying up far too late this week.”

“You know,” Solene was saying, a finger trailing playfully up Nicholas’s arm. She could be coy when she wanted to be, but right now she was just trying to interest her boyfriend who worked as hard as she did to go on a little getaway with her. “There’s a place up in the mountains we ought to go to. It’s private and the view, I hear, is quite stunning.” The truth was, Solene had already rented the place, now just to encourage Nicholas to tag along. Of course she’d already looked at his schedule and made sure to pick a time when he wasn’t so busy on purpose. Solene liked to think that she planned ahead, less stress for Nicholas and all. She knew he was already wound up with everything royal and otherwise, he really did need this break more than she did.

One thing Alex knew for certain, he was surprised that Henry was running late. They had agreed to meet up at their favorite coffee shop for a lunch date of sorts. Maybe Henry had run into traffic or perhaps he was being held up at the shelter. Either way, Alex was still surprised considering he knew how punctual his boyfriend tended to be. The door chimed and Alex looked over even though the past five or so times it had made that noise Henry hadn’t been there: now he was there and with David in tow too. Alex grinned and waved Henry over, gesturing for him to sit, either in the chair front or next to him, he didn’t care. “You’re here, about time,” Alex said with that warm, albeit teasing smile still plastered on his face. No matter how late Henry was, he wasn’t the type to get mad at him over it. “How’s the shelter? Did you really bring David along today to meet with everyone?”
