“ you’ll grow into it though i’m sure, i can see you being a very good prince i mean you’re friendly and very charismatic and humble so that’s all anyone could really ask of a person in power ” they smiled small and shrugged warmly before giggling a little. “ it’s an odd thought but it isn’t that surprising, you guys are good with us all and you spend time to form real bonds with people so i guess they see you as more than just royalty that’s enough to make anyone wanna turn up and share those intimate moments and memories ”

“i-... uh, thank you. i-i really appreciate that.” he smiled back at them with a nod, then shrugged. “i just p-personally don’t think there’s, you know, a-a reason to just live in vain with the p-power, i guess? i don’t- i don’t know how to explain it, but i just think we’re all half-humans living together in an island, and we’re all the same, coming from the s-same goddess. i-i’m- i-i’m just glad everyone sees us as m-more than just royalty.”

“How mad do you think they’d be if we skipped out on our own birthday celebration?” Caspian asked adjusting the jewel encrusted band on his head, he’d opted out of the crown his mother kept trying to force down on his skull, it was heavy and unnecessary and he felt the same as his twin, it was really weird do have this many people celebrating your birthday.

“pretty mad, p-probably.” he shrugged. “though, i don’t think i-it’s been so bad s-s-so far. at least we convinced dad not to do the parade.” taeil continued, eyes traveling up to look at the band on his brother’s head. as much as taeil did not want to wear his crown, he couldn’t find it in himself to say no when he remembered the day kendal asked about it.

“ happy birthday handsome, i have a small gift by the way ! ” nadir teased lovingly as he ran to the other and clung onto him, pressing a sloppy kiss to his cheek playfully and laughing softly. “ like you would get any less, you’re the prince charming i’m sure maidens are swooning on the streets ” he chuckled as he nudged the other. 

“dude, c-c’mon!” he sighed, his shoulders slumped when the other sloppily kissed his cheek, though he was laughing anyway. taeil’s cheeks turned pink and he shook his head, “t-t-too bad for them, then. i-i’ve got my own.”

“ truth be told i think the people are kinda… well they have very high expectations and i think you should just be treated the same as everyone else, you guys are still pretty young ” he smiled warmly and shrugged before raising a brow and letting out a gentle laugh. “ oh don’t worry i’m sure it won’t be long before ambrose shows you all the reasons why its better ”

“th-thank you. i, uh, i-i’m not really much of a s-social person a-anyway. i’m not about a-attention, so i don’t go out, you know?” he responded honestly. taeil furrowed his eyebrows for a moment before a somewhat terrified expression took over his features, “w-w-why? i... h-he already got me t-to drink before, w-w-what-... what else is there?”

zxrron-roxn:

“ i’m not sure the lifestyle of royalty is supposed to be something you get used to if I’m honest, happy birthday by the way, are you feeling the side effects of being any older yet ? ”

“i-i’m somewhat used to it, y-you could say? i don’t know.” he shrugged with a small laugh. “th-thank you! not-... not really? it’s not m-much different from b-b-being twenty.”

“ i can see why it would be a lot to get used to, besides things like that never stop being a surprise especially since it’s not like the people are forced to celebrate it, they choose to make a fuss and appreciation of your presence and i think that feeling is likely to always be overwhelming ” 

“i-it’s really overwhelming, y-yeah.” he nodded in agreement. “i guess... i-i-i never really thought about how m-much people would will-willingly celebrate, you know?”

[chvrrvism]

“y-you- you would think i’m u-used to this but... e-every year, it’s just weird to h-have this- this many people celebrate my birthday.”

it was weird to say, but kendal could tell his lips were untouched prior to this. she had known from him mentioning it to her briefly before, but his lips were soft and plump, cushion-y and so sweet. her heart beat seemed to naturally calm down by being so close, so suddenly intimate with him. they were already close but kendal pressed her body closer, not wanting any space between them. silly as it sounded, kendal swore she felt sparks. she felt something, a connection, a longing, a pull to him. it was strange, she had never felt it before when she was kissing boys. but it was a reminder to her that taeil was not just a boy. she could stay kissing him forever and never once grow tired of it. fluttering her eyes open, she sucked on his bottom lip gently as she pulled away, lips still touching his lightly as she spoke. “it’s a nice feeling knowing i got to be your first kiss,” the brunette smiled against his pink lips.

he couldn’t lie, taeil had sometimes wondered what it would be like if he got to kiss kendal someday. the idea seemed too good to be true, she was too perfect for him. yet here they were. taeil only held her closer as she pressed her body to his, not wanting to let go any time soon. this felt too good to be true to him. she was being gentle and soft and he could’ve sworn he died a little inside because of that. he didn’t dare open his eyes, feeling as if this might just be a dream. but he still felt her lips against his own when she spoke and he smiled a little. “i-i... i m-must’ve b-b-been p-... pretty bad.”

kendal hummed in response. she hadn’t met him yet and she was doubtful she was going to. what was taeil going to say to him? two practical strangers that met online, became best friends and now were clearly falling for each other? it seemed one hell of a shot and kenny wasn’t exactly sure taeil was willing to take it. it seemed too much of a chore to have to explain and justify all that. kendal didn’t want taeil fighting a uphill battle, especially when her stay at nephelia would be brief. biting her inner cheek, she noticed how tae’s stutter worsened and how he seemed to be barely functioning at her sudden question. she couldn’t blame him exactly, it was a bit bold, wild, especially when they had just met for the first time. yet something inside kendal was driving her, and it definitely wasn’t her logical brain. a hand slipped away from his torso and was softly placed on his cheek, her thumb rubbing the apple of his cheek. “i’d want you to kiss me forever,” the brunette mumbled softly before guiding is face down and bringing hers up, gently crashing her lips against his.

taeil didn’t know how he was supposed to act or what he was supposed to say. the move she made was all too sudden and out of nowhere, he did not expect it. especially not when he had deeply fallen for her and doubted she was feeling the same, always thinking she was being too nice to him. and taeil had never been in any type of romantic relationship before, let alone kissed anyone. what if she didn’t like this? what if she realized he didn’t know shit and left? he did mention to her before that he hasn’t been with anyone, but his terrible thoughts still felt valid. and it was just a kiss, for the gods’ sake, he didn’t understand why his anxiety went against him. the moment he felt her lips against his own, he froze in his spot. partly because he was still shocked and partly because he didn’t know what to do. it took him a few fast heartbeats and a lot of pushing through anxiety before he just went with it, kissing her back.

there was no way the young seattleite could move. it was like she was a small prey suddenly so mesmerized, entranced, captivated by him. in a split second, kendal realized she was all his and he was hers. forcing out a shy giggle, kendal blushed. “really? which parent do you get it from?” she had never met the king and queen and the chances of that happening seemed very slim. her sudden bold actions and gestures seemed to die down as seconds ticked by. she was losing the tough facade she was so used to putting up and showing her honest self to taeil, which scared her straight. sh felt his eyes burn on her and gulped a little. why was she so damn nervous around him? she had experience with boys, but she knew well that taeil just wasn’t any boy. finally, she flickered her eyes from his lips to his pupils. “if…if i asked…,” kendal started, her voice breathy as she felt the anxiety bubble from her stomach and rise to her thoroat slowly, “you to…” another soft sigh out, “to kiss me, would you?” she finally sputtered out, fingers playing with his shirt.

“my dad.” he answered simply, laughing quietly. taeil wondered how his parents would feel when they find out about kendal. they seemed to be fine with ambrose and his boyfriend, yet taeil still had this small fear in him that they wouldn’t like her. it’s not like he thought there was something wrong with her, but the fact that he met a stranger online and was now deeply falling for them wasn’t something that parents generally approved of. he put that idea aside, wanting to resolve it later and not get caught up into it now. as taeil stared up at her, he could feel his heart impossibly speeding up in his chest the more they looked at each other. and the question he heard coming from her next had him shaken up to the core. his eyes widened noticeable, but mainly because he wasn’t expecting something like this yet. in fact, he didn’t expect anything close to liking him romantically coming from her. he gulped, “i-... i, d-d-do you w-want me to?”

why was his giggle suddenly the sweetest sounding melody that kendal had heard it was like everything he was doing, the most subtle things were getting under her skin and causing the butterflies in her stomach to swell, double in size. she was sick by his cuteness. a soft sigh escaped her rosy lips as she felt his arms tighten around her body. kendal felt safe and secure and it was a feeling she only felt with taeil around. it was a feeling she didn’t want to get used to, not when she knew she had to leave him. “and you’re much taller than i imagined..” kendal said softly, a laugh escaping her mouth. big doe hues tried to make eye contact. her pupils were shaking. she didn’t want to waste any time, she didn’t want to regret anything before she left, but she didn’t want to rush anything on him, force anything he was uncomfortable with. it didn’t take long for her to become stuck in her thoughts, struggling internally on what to do or say. in turn, her eyes simply stuck to his lips and didn’t move.

taeil rested his head back against the mattress, staring at the decorative ceiling during the moment of silence, taking everything in. “my family consists of tall giraffes, honestly.” he joked. the way she sounded when she laughed, somehow, it was a lot nicer to hear in person. just like how her voice sounded better, she looked more beautiful and everything about her was just so much better in person. taeil was afraid of losing all of that someday; he knew there will come a day where she has to go back to living a terrible life with her family, and he didn’t want that. not for her, and not for either of them. he just wanted to stay here for as long as possible. 

taeil looked at her once again when he felt her move her head, eyes stuck on hers. and he felt his heart skip a beat in his chest once again when she stared down at his lips. taeil suddenly felt small underneath her, not knowing what he was supposed to do. he licked his lips, and his eyes flickered down to her own for a short moment. “k-kenny... uh, d-do... i-i mean...i-...” he didn’t know how to say what he had on his mind.

“Why you guess?” She wondered, a bit worried before smiling a little. “Music speaks to my soul,” she laughed.

“just-... i-i don’t know?” he laughed a little. “what- what type of music do you like?”
