“Okay, so I wanted to talk to you about plans for the shelter in Auradon for kids, I knew where to start for the Isle, but I’ll admit it to you first, I don’t know where to start for kids from Auradon.” It was important to Carlos to get it right, and there was no one better to assist than Gordon.

          so much had changed as of lately, the distance, the timings was hard to maintain a consistent line of contact, one could say their relationship has taken a bit of a dive. one year he had been packing his boxes and going off to college and then the next year he was packing those same boxes up after dropping out deciding college wasn’t for him to move right across the kingdoms back home. whilst his college adventure had just finished gordon’s was just beginning it was like they had just been passing one another by. with the chaos going on around chad had neglected a relationship he cared so much about. and one afternoon as he tidied up at the end of his shift it finally hit him. that night after his shift still in his work clothes he got in his car to drive cross the kingdoms at night to visit the boy he adored.

          by the time he arrived on campus night had fallen, a hand knocked on the door he had visited so few times before armed with flowers and a pout that hoped his sorry was enough to make up for weeks of disconnect. to his surprise he was greeted with a smile and warm embrace. all that distance, all those hours and it was like nothing had changed. it was as if the boys were back in the halls of auradon prep in his final year and they wasted no time getting back into old ways.

         furious fingers clicked away at the buttons as they both sat deep in competition snacks laid out in front of them as they battled on the controllers. pro-tourney a classic game chad grew up playing once lethal at but it would seem his whirlwind of months had put him at a disadvantage. he was clearly out of practice. watching the screen controls mashed as he tried to gain the advantage. tactically he was superior, it was his game but yet the goals had stayed tied levelled at nil until falling into golden goal.

          score! it had taken long enough. a fist pumped as he leapt to his feet, a hiss of victory escaping him.  so stuck in the mental focus of getting one-up, finally leading the match he looked over at his opponent with a proud grin happy to have him back. ❛ come on that was a clean goal! you can’t be mad you put up a good fight. ❜ slight teasing in his tone, what really had him winning was not leading the match but it was getting to spend time with gordon again. not that he would ever openly admit to that but seeing him cleared his mind everything that at home seemed so urgent and important there didn’t matter. there was no kingly learning to do or exams to pass it was just him and his boyfriend playing some video game he used to pump hours into. the familiar change was calming. ❛ you’ve been practising though. defensive line is better but not good enough... yet. there’s still time in the game and if not maybe next week you might want a rematch?  ❜

         "   why ,   feeling psyched out already ?   ”     lips curled into a sardonic smile ,   nina flicks the butt of her cigarette up into the air ,   watching it fall and hit the pavement before stomping it with her boot .   her eyes glint with mischief .     “   if this is all it takes to psyche you out ,   then you must not get out much .   ”

          whilst normally the day of love would conclude with the ball happening a kingdom away, chad had others plans in mind. for the first time he had to politely decline the invitation in order to spend the day with someone who he had grown to care deeply about. it was back in his home kingdom of naucris that the events would unfold, back in his own empty castle hand-in-hand they walked through the corridors to a candlelit dinner in the royal garden with no other company but the recorded piano keys humming from the speaker.

         a private party for two, his surprise for gordon. where they laughed over dinner and talked about everything. if someone asked him years ago who the other boy was he wouldn’t have known who you meant but now he didn’t know what to do without him. a classic enemies to lovers story where his opinion went from never mattering to being one of the few that did. this valentines day was their first together, as a proper couple and the prince had wanted to make is perfect. for them that was the two of them alone, no crowds and no parties. it was them.
