It may not have been a well kept secret, but their relationship for so long consisted of stolen moments, private, hushed. But never ashamed. How could Piotr feel shame for loving someone with his whole heart?
For the moment the world and battles won and lost matters not. The staring glaces are like faded stars in the night sky. His focus caught only by warm lips against his own metallic ones. Piotr’s arms wrapped around Victor. Even as he tried to pull away he couldn’t help but dip back to steal a kiss in return. He didn’t need air to live, but Victor might as well have been the breath in lungs keeping him alive.
There would be questions later. Some he knew he’d struggle to comply with. Like how the odd pair found each other as lovers instead of enemies. When it all happened. How could Piotr love a known villain. But there would be no shame as he spoke. Not now, not ever.
