From a distance, there was shooting, from what seemed like an aid in search for the prince. The shared silence broke after this, as the prince began to sit up. Just before he sat up he was stopped by a hand, it had reached out and grabbed Nicanor's sleeve.

He turned his head to look at Osiris. He was about to question him, that was before Nicanor turned and met his lovers gaze. His amethyst eyes were faced with his lover's blazing amber eyes.

"Stay."

Was all Osiris muttered, as he stared into what felt like the depths of Nicanor's soul.

"Pfft-"

The prince brought up his free hand, hoping to cover his sudden laughter. All was for naught as it did nothing to hide the joyous sounds the left his throat. Nicanor's polished amethyst eyes gleamed at Osiris' pathetic attempt of "silent" begging.

He had known his lover for a long time. It was obvious to him that he want more time together. Especially since they had been in preparing stages for a war to break out. One could never be so sure if the knight would return safely, if at all. And gods forbid if something happened to the soon-to-be-emperor while the majority of his soldiers were away at war. 

 It was a good assumption. 

"My darling, I must leave. I do have duties to attend to, as do you." Nicanor sighed, as he turned to his lover and embraced him. "We have much time before war breaks out. Let us do our duties this day, so that at dusk we may walk these meadows without worry of being disturbed."  

He brushed a hand through Osiris' hair, Nicanor grinned at the sigh of content his lover released. "You're utterly adorable, my love." 

"!!!"

Osiris was quick to pull away. He held a stern glare as he turned to Nicanor but, it quickly melted into adoration. The knight groaned quietly before he reached out to gently caress his beloved's face.

"My solace, when will you halt such teasing towards me?" His eyebrows were furrowed in displeasure due to Nicanor's teasing. 

"How could I not when the Gods blessed me with a lover as adorable as yourself?" The knight could only sigh at his lover's comment. He released Nicanor's face, he allowed his hand to travel to Nicanor's hand and brought it up to his lips.

Osiris lowered his head readying himself to kiss the back of the prince's hand. He looked up and made eye contact with Nicanor. Mischievous intent glazed over his eyes, even if his face remained still as stone. 

He then pressed a gentle kiss onto the backside of Nicanor's hand, sitting up straight right after. He then released his lover's hand, opting to reach out once more, leaning towards his lover. Osiris positioned himself so that both he and Nicanor could be facing each other, foreheads touching. 

Osiris closed his eyes, Nicanor followed in suit. They both let out a deep breaths. 

After a short silence Osiris spoke out. "Please, once you are free of your duties, join me." Nicanor smiled at his lover, pulling away to nod his head. 

"I will be there to greet you into you chambers." 

They  leant in, once more, for a kiss. As gentle as the wind, and sweet like honey. They pulled away, content with the kiss. 

"Alright, I must get going, my love. Until this eve, I will see you then. Remember, I adore you with all my heart."

"As you wish, until then, my beloved. I adore you as well, with ever fibre of my being."
