               COME TO THINK OF IT, he hasn’t spent new year’s eve in london in three years. sure enough, he’s thought about it, but even in his more wishful musings, the scene was not set within is soner rast itself. yet here he stands, right by HIS KING’s side as the courtiers clap in time with every second the grand clocktower outside lets tick by. when it chimes for the first time, marking the beginning of the new year, alucard takes rhy’s face in his hands and KISSES HIM until they both run out of breath. it is said that what you do on the first day of the year will reflect on the following days, and call him a SAP, but there’s nothing he’d like more than for it to be true.❛ happy new year, love, ❜ he whispers, pressing another kiss to rhy’s cheek before letting go of him.❛ I LOVE YOU, and i can’t wait to spend the rest of this year with you. ❜ he’s got another grand declaration in store, but it will have to be delayed. after all, the crowd of well-wishers will be here SOON ; best not to make them wait.

lila : my favourite is explaining the difference between a butt dial and a booty call 

luc : it’s called connotations

rhy : try this one on for size.  “forgive me, father, i have sinned”, “sorry, daddy, i’ve been naughty.”

angst meme i can’t find because, as always, i took ages to respond.

It was a combination of many things that lead to her emotional slump, but pregnancy and wave after wave of homesickness kept her from pulling herself together. Gods, these people must think she was so miserable, distant and unappreciative of their warm hospitality; she dreaded what they must have assumed of her nature in their relatively short time of knowing her.

Not that the young Queen could blame them, after she had pushed them all away.

He was one of the few people she didn't dare try and dismiss from her room when he had sought her company. Perhaps it was the feelings she still harboured for him, even in spite of his occupied heart, or perhaps it was simply that she didn't wish for conflict with someone she had to spend so much time with. Her King, her husband...

...the father of her much-anticipated children.

Soft green eyes found the far-off horizon from the window of her bedchambers, a room that she had not left for a few days following the aches and pains of being with child, trying to distract herself from her own emotions as he spoke.  “ Perhaps... ”  It was something she was trying not to think about, this path in life that she'd had no say in, but it was hard to ignore when it centred a conversation.

                   “  your highness.  ”    he greets the prince with a brisk nod, easily falling into pace at his side.    “  to what do we owe the unexpected visit?  ”    translation:  why are you here?  and why isn’t kell keeping you out of trouble?  kell himself can’t be in any sort of trouble  ;  aside from surveillance having eyes on their agents at all times, rhy would never look so happy go lucky were that the case.  holland can’t imagine he’s stupid enough to try and slip his own GUARD DETAIL at kingsman headquarters, either, which leaves him at a loss.  it’s always a fifty-fifty in these situations, particularly concerning either of the maresh brothers, as to if he wants to know.    /    @cravesmagic

               ❛ OH MY GOD, rhy ! when is it ? will it last more than a week ? ❜ make no mistakes : while everyone knew this was coming from about TEN miles away, officially receiving the news still makes for a treat. after all, the couple has been parading their outrageously expensive and outrageously PRETTY engagement rings around for a handful of months now, so she could practically hear the WEDDING BELLS long before rhy saw fit to make an announcement.                lila launches herself at him and ruffles his curls, her arm around his shoulders. ❛ okay, i know kell is PROBABLY your best man and stross is going to be luc’s for sure, but i wanna be your maid of honor. do i get to wear pants ? although i’d make an EXCEPTION and wear a dress for you if you thought it’d look better. ❜ perhaps she’s babbling a little too much, but in her defense, she’s NEVER attended a full-fledged wedding before, and much less a reception. yes, she snuck into that one party because the entrance was left UNGUARDED and the food was free, but it doesn’t really count, does it ? ❛ also, i better be the first person you told, RIGHT after your parents and kell. kidding, ❜ she winks at him, ❛ but just barely. ❜
