The fae kingdom and the demons of the underworld had a few things in common.
They loved messing with humans and Fae loved stealing names and babies and demons loved stealing souls.
So when humans tried going into territory they didn't belong in, selfish behavior making them believe they were entitled to fae land and thus the fae and the demons negotiated a treaty to handle the human situation.
"A wedding?" Steve asked nervously as his parents sat before him "yes darling, a treaty like this could greatly help us and humans won't stop until they steal what is ours and remember..."
"Duty means doing something your heart may well regret"
"And besides, I was arraigned in a marriage with your father and I have never been happier" his mom's words did little to soothe Steve, the fae prince nervously braiding his hair.
"We love you Stephen..." His father said before leaving him be, letting the fae think of his future.
He was going to marry a total stranger... The king of the demons no less....
What was he like? Was he mean? Kind?
Steve went to the river, needing time away from his family and his subjects as he took in the Faewilds he loved so much... The Faewilds he may never see again.
The wild flowers were vibrant as a young girl wandered through the forest, her brother told her never to enter but... She couldn't help herself.
"A fairy..." She mumbled as she saw the beautiful fairy braid flowers in his hair, wings relaxed as she wandered closer to get a better look, stepping on a twig and alerting the beautiful fae of her presence.
"Sorry! You're just so pretty..." She said as Steve stared at her suspiciously "what do you want human" Steve asked eyeing the girl, he never interacted with humans as it was a death sentence seeing as humans had a strange fixation with fae.
They liked to keep them small and use them as entertainment or... Rip their wings off as trophies.
"I was curious, I never been here before..."
"You're in the fae wilds human, it's dangerous for your kind to be here"
"Oh... I'm sorry" she mumbled unsure if herself and Steve took pity "come here human" Steve commanded and the little girl wandered over "why are you alone human? I thought your kind travelled in packs like wolves..." Steve asked as he lifted a strand of her hair "I'm not... I'm not supposed to be here... My brother said im not allowed here"
"So you disobeyed him and did what you want?" Steve asked softly, gently braiding the girls curly brown hair "yeah..."
"You're brave, stupid but brave" Steve said with a small smile "may I know your name? I promise I won't steal it little human"
"It's Jane... Whats yours?"
"I am Stephen... I am the prince of the fae"
"Your a prince?" The girl asked wide eyed and Steve smiled at her "yes little human, I am"
"That's so cool..."
"I suppose it is, you know you're braver than I am"
"What do you mean?"
"I am set to be wed but... I don't know him, I'm scared of what he could be like..."
"Well you never know until you meet him right? My brother married this girl named Nancy but now they're really happy!"
Steve smiled at her innocence, it was refreshing "you are very good to talk to little Jane, I hope we may meet again, you should go home the sun's setting" Steve waved his hand and a path of periwinkles grew from the ground "this path will lead you to the entrance, stray not or another fae may not take to kind to you"
Jane nodded and hugged the prince before going home "bye Mr fairy prince!" She said happily, leaving Steve by himself once more.
"I suppose I should get home..." Steve mumbled standing, wings stretching out as an arrow narrowly missed him "what the..."
"Been waiting for fourty minutes for that shitling to leave, you will fetch nicely prince" a blond human stepped from the bushes, piercing blue eyes staring down Steven as he raised a bolas with iron balls held by rope braided with iron.
Steve tried to fly away by the hunter was faster, throwing the weapon, it snagging on Steve's ankle and forcing him back to the ground.
The iron was a pain like no other, tears fell down his face as it burned into his flesh "please...no"
"That hairs gonna get in the way..." The man mumbled, pulling out a blade and gripping the sobbing fairies hair in a ponytail "let's get rid of it yeah?"
"Nononono!"
Aa few strands sliced before war horns rang and a black Shard with hot embers stabbed through the hunters hand "motherfuker!" He screamed releasing Steve who was shaking from pain and fear.
"I come to meet my future groom and I see a pathetic human trying to take him" a cold voice rang out, it sounded strange and hushed whispers as the forest became a dark haze "this is why no one likes humans... You think you can just do anything..."
A tall lanky man stepped into view, eyes black and a crown placed in his long curly brown hair, his footsteps making no sound as he walked towards the two.
"Feast" he hissed out as shadowy creatures rose from the shadow he cast, horrifying bat like creatures that contorted and hissed before lunging towards the hunter.
Steve closed his eyes in fear as screams could be heard before silence.
"You can open your eyes now pretty boy" the man's voice said now less demonic and calm, the fae cracking his eyes open to see the demon removing the iron trap, Steve getting a good look at him now.
He wore a puffy white shirt and tight black pants and long boots, ink drawings all over his body "there... You shouldn't be out here alone, not with the humans getting so ballsy" he said standing up "let's get you back to the castle, I know you fae have things for these kind of wounds" mindful of his wings he lifted the injured prince and walked through the woods, the sound of magic faint in his ears "are you... The demon king?"
"That I am lovely, you're prince Steve of the fae... Your parents sent me a portrait and I must say it doesn't do you justice" Steve blushed at his flirting and played with his hair "it's... A pleasure to meet you"
"I wish it was under better circumstances though" Eddie laughed slightly, the vibrations felt weird against Steves arm but he found he didn't mind it to much.
"Oh our sweet little flower! Thank goodness you're safe!" Steve's mom cried out as she checked over him, worry visible in her face "don't worry.. the human is no longer a threat" Eddie said calmly, not elaborating on the topic as the king and queen looked visibly relieved at this news "thank you..." Her words sincere "we are truly in your debt..."
"We will be in-laws soon so don't worry so much" Eddie said kindly, despite it all Eddie was a kind entity, sure he could be a ruthless demon but he was raised to be kind to those close to him.
"I have a good feeling about this marriage" Steve's father said as they ate, fae didn't consume flesh as they didn't hunt so Eddie tried many fruits and vegetables that weren't accessable in the underworld and found he enjoyed them greatly "what is this?" Eddie asked curiously to the strange white speckled cubes of fruits "those are cubes of dragon fruit... They are a delicacy here" Steve said awkwardly as the demon locked eyes with him and smiled "it's truly wonderful" his words genuine before they got down to business "I am willing offer my millitary to be set around the entrances to the fae wilds and the enchanted woods surrounding the entrances as I am aware there's fae and other enchanted creatures who could be victim to humans.." Eddie said calmly as they ate "my soldiers are trained in combat and are not to be triffled with"
"I... I have one request" Eddie looked at Steve who fidgeted a bit "no harm to any child, they aren't apart of this war so they shouldn't be in the crossfire" his mind went to little Jane and worried something would happen to her... He had a soft spot for children human or enchanted...
"Of course, children should never be caught in war" Eddie was aware fae liked human children though they have stopped stealing them as it was far to dangerous to do so and... Humans died.
It was far to tragic for the fae.
After their meal, Steve's parents urged him to give the demon a tour around the palace, the prince awkward as he brought him to parts of the palace "this is my garden..." Steve said as they walked into a grand greenhouse, many plants all around them "you enjoy gardening?" Eddie asked curiously, he was surprised about the prince as they walked through the garden "yes! I'm a plant aligned fairy so it's almost second nature to me..."
"You use plant magic?" Eddie was curious about the Omega who stopped walking and took the demons large hand and a ring of flowers bloomed around his wrist like a bracelet "incredible.." Eddie was in awe at the fae "don't demons have magic?"
"Yes but it isn't pretty like yours" Eddie said as the moonlight hit them through the glass "I must say, I'm glad I get to marry you though I wish the reasons were better... I promise to treat you with dignity little fae" Eddie took Steve's hands and gently placed a kiss upon his knuckles "will... I be able to visit here again after we wed?"
"Of course, you will be my husband not my prisoner"
The two spent the night in the garden, Eddie letting Steve braid his hair and learning fae often did things like this with one another as a form of bonding, the demons crown in his lap as he let Steve out flowers in it.
His little fae was absolutely precious.
Eddie stayed at the palace for a week for the upcoming wedding, many creatures making their presence at the palace including Eddie's closest allies.
Since Steve would be leaving the Faewilds it was only fair they would have a fae wedding in exchange.
Eddie's closest brought his mantle and his hand made wedding attire he had made just for this.
Steve spend the morning being prepared for the wedding, his long hair braided intricately and a flower crown made of red thornless roses and dahlias to represent their eternal love that would hopefully blossom between the two.
The royal alter was a sight to behold, stained glass and flora all around as the guests took their seats, Eddies closest friends and uncle at the front pews as Steve's relatives on the other side, other magical kingdoms throughout the pews.
When the two were at the altar, Eddie was in awe at how beautiful Steve was... He knew this fast but he was already falling off the wonderful fairy before him.
"May we bind this union with a kiss?"
Steve was shy as Eddie gently lifted his chin, pulling him into a kiss as the crowd cheered for the union between kingdoms.
Steve tentatively kissed back as his wings fluttered slightly, the two pulling apart.
The fae were known for their parties and an event like this was no exception.
Steve and Eddie danced to the music as those around partook in the joyful dancing.
"Steve this is my uncle, he raised me until I was old enough to rule" Eddie introduced Steve to an older looking demon, a fold smile on his face as he looked at the prince--- well king consort now "it's a pleasure to meet you! It's gonna be nice to have some life in the palace" the underworld wasn't known for its bright colors so it should be interesting to say the least. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well" Steve was raised to treat royals from other kingdoms with the utmost respect, surprising the demons with an elegant bow "none of that, were family now!"
The night was an absolute riot as everyone celebrated and ate "wanna get out of here?" Eddie asked Steve who nodded softly, letting the demon whisk him away from the large party.
"I meant every word... I also would like for you to know we don't have to consummate our marriage yet, we can do that whenever you feel comfortable" Eddie didn't want to scare the Omega who looked confused "consummate...?" And Eddie forgot that he was rather sheltered "having sexual relationships pretty boy" Eddie said softly in his ear, a blush heavy on Steve's face as he took in his words "I- I'm not sure I'm ready for that...yet"
Eddie grinned at the yet, happy to know at least his pretty little husband found him sexually attractive "how about we go to our honeymoon suite the servants prepared and we get to know one another before we depart tomorrow?"
The two sat on the bed talking for hours, Eddie finding Steve's innocence precious "why do you draw on your flesh?" Steve asked curiously and Eddie wanted to laugh, forgetting fae only used body paint for aesthetic and didn't have tattoos "these are tattoos, it's a human invention but we demons have taken quite a liking to it so it's popular amongst demons"
Steve looked facinated as he inspected the tattoos "they are very pretty" he said genuinely and Eddie tried not to laugh, he's never had his tattoos referred to as 'pretty' before but he did like how honest Steve was.
"You're very pretty" Eddie said kissing the fairies knuckles and Steve looked at his lips before looking away only for Eddie to pull him back gently and kiss him, the fae responding shyly as the demon pulled him close.
Eddie lifted Steve up and moved to the edge of the bed as his wings sprouted from his back, using magic to conceal them before the black bat like wings moved to surround Steve who was perched so pretty in his lap, distracted from eddies addictive mouth.
He wasn't ready for... That but he would be a liar if he said he didn't enjoy the others lips, Eddie's tongue prodding at his lips and Steve shyly opened his mouth and felt Eddie's tongue slip in, the long appendage wrapping around Steve's and taking control as Steve let out a pitiful moan, surprised by the sound he produced "god you're so precious..." Eddie said pulling away to look Steve in the eyes, the fae staring at him so genuinely as if he hung the moon.
Eddie raised his hand over Steve's head and a black glass lime substance formed into a sharp black crown, red glowing from the cracks "a king deserves a crown no?"
Steve smiled slightly and gently touched the crown of Eddie's head that was currently crowness and a flower crown produced atop his head "I agree..." Steve said sweetly as the two spent the night talking and kissing, falling hopelessly in love under the moonlight.
