Silver quietly sat in their soft chair, soaking in the sunlight that poured through the window graciously. It was a nice moment– no phone to look at, no headaches, and blissful silence from the world below them. 

It was taking some time to get used to being as close to royalty as you could possibly be. Silver had never even thought about getting close to nobles or royalty once in their life, and yet here they were, pampered and taken care of by their beloved partner in a castle out of the novels of old. If you ignored how they had gotten here in the first place, it was a rather normal relationship with nobility! Silver’s ear twitched as they heard footsteps behind their chair, and they turned around to smile at said partner, Lord Vynrel Tenebris, king of the land of Auralí.

“Enjoying the sunlight, darling?” He hummed, leaning over the top of the chair to place a kiss on Silver’s hair. 

They blushed and nodded, holding up the phone. “Was taking a break from looking at stuff. Looking at stuff was a break from writing.” They pointed to the laptop sitting on the ottoman in front of their chair. “The scene wasn’t working out in my brain.”

“Ah, understandable.” He nodded thoughtfully, before smiling gently at his beloved partner. “Come sit with me on the carpet. It’s not often I get a free moment to enjoy the sunlight with you.”

Vyn sat on the carpet, patting the spot next to him. Silver graciously took their spot, crossing their legs as they got comfortable, before letting out a squawk of surprise as Vynrel laid his head in their lap with his arms folded under his chin. He looked up mischievously, causing Silver to flush red once more, before making himself comfortable and closing his eyes, soaking in the gentle sunlight.

Silver let out a huff of resignation, but they quietly relented that he looked rather peaceful. Absentmindedly, they began to gently run their fingers through his hair, untangling any knots they came across in his long white hair.

After a moment, Silver was surprised to hear a noise coming from Vyn. They paused for a moment before their eyes widened in surprise, a blush spreading across their cheeks.

He was purring.

Their hands stopped moving as they stared at him in shock, unable to wipe the blush from their face as he suddenly opened an eye and grinned up at them rather sleepily.

“I knew you’d like that,” The king chuckled under his breath. 

“I didn’t know– you never purr! I’m always the one doing it unintentionally–”

“Which I absolutely adore.”

“–and here you are just doing it? Out of the blue?! You knew I’d get flustered, you horrible man!”

Vyn laughed, eliciting another blush of embarrassment from Silver. “Darling, I like to surprise you with the little things about me. It leads to wonderful moments like these. Your red cheeks are gorgeous, by the way.”

Silver buried their face in their hands as a small muffled screech of disbelief escaping their lips. They reluctantly peered through their fingers back down at Vyn, who smiled smugly up at them, but his eyes twinkled brightly in amusement. They couldn’t stay mad at him.
