closed starter for @lullabiesofwoe / erik

lief was immediately reminded of the first night he met erik the moment he walked into the masquerade. he was even wearing an outfit as close to that night as he could get, thinking he could relive that perfect moment. he danced with that person and this person, but he was getting dizzy with the constant moving and lack of direction. he came to a stop with one person he was dancing with, taking a deep breath. “i’m sorry, but do you want to take a break with me? all of this is a bit much and my head is feeling all fuzzy, but i really don’t want to let you go yet. is that selfish of me?” he asked with a laugh. “you can tell me no, though,” he quickly added in, wetting his lips as his hand rested on the other’s chest.

lief, how long do you think you'll be able to run from your betrothal?

"probably not for much longer. as soon as i get back home, i'm sure my uncle will insist that i finally tie the knot. so, the official time is as long as i'm here."

lief: how do you think your father would react if he knew you were in love with the prince of an enemy kingdom?

"honestly, i don't care how he would react? my father isn't a factor in my life other than what not to do. he wouldn't be happy, probably a bit apprehensive, but so what? and, it doesn't even matter now since i can't be with him anyway."

lief was sure he’d escaped all of his responsibilities once he’d arrived in town, not having run into anyone he was familiar with just yet. however, with his streak of luck, his little fantasy would come crashing down soon enough. and, it did. on a clear, crisp night much like the one when they’d met, lief’s eyes locked with the one person he had been sure he would never see again whether in this place or home. his breath was practically knocked out of his lungs, unable to look away. “I…” he started rather dumbly. he knew he had an explanation to serve, but he wasn’t ready. he would have never been ready. “you’re here. why are you here?” it was a stupid question considering none of them knew why or how they were there.
