The love that never was
tw: angst, no happy ending, mlm, knight world
The boy for sure didn't expect to find the man waiting on the door when he opened. Yet here he was. He looked stunned for a moment or two, mouth gapping for word, in the end it was the older one to speak first << Is your father home?>> He silently moved away from the door, letting the man walk in "He'sโฆ He's in the studio"
[]
As the man speaked to his father, he waited on the door listening to what they had to say. In the end when the man walked out in the garden he was waiting, he ripped a paper card out of his hand before the elder could speak,a little chuckle escaping lowly "So you're getting married?" He couldn't hide the betrayal in his voice. << Hey, listenโฆ - >> No, he wouldn't, he couldn't just stand there and hear on how the man he spended the happiest moments of his life was gonna get married. "You don't have to say anything." His hand bolted up and ripped the necklace he was wearing, the necklace he kept so jealous of, it was a gift of the man long time ago, his other hand gripped the wrist of the elder and slammed the pendant in his palm "You forgot about me." he turned ready to leave but it was the other's firm hold to catch his arm now << Oh noโฆ I remember, I remember it all my dearโฆ >> He whispered it so softly, like he did long ago, like he did to him, telling him in the silence of the night,on a battle training ground,how much he loved him. The man was a prince, future to be king, but he wasn't looking down on the people no, he wanted to be part of them, he trained the knights and soldier himself, that's how he met the boy, just two years younger than him yet so much more brave than him. The boy never took shame of his nature, unless the prince. " Then you remember of me and yet you are gonna marry another woman, one that you don't love. " He felt tears bubbling up but he pushed them down. Even if they stinged in his eyes to be freed when the soft yet secure hand of the prince moved to cup his cheek. The man wasn't speaking, not able to find proper words " I get it, really, I do. I'm a soldier and you're gonna be a king. Your job is to marry a princess and have an heir to keep the dinasty going. My job is to fight for you on the battleground. I'm gonna devote myself to you- " He made a sad sarcastic noise "like I didn't alreadyโฆ " The man looked awaaway " I'm gonna willingly lose my life for you. While you waste yours on a love that never was "
