Damn, I said it wouldn't affect me, but I'm still not over it 😭🥺. This will be the end of me, let them say goodbye once again because each one will take their own path to fight 😔... not the shit they gave us 😒🙄, I hate everyone who was involved in this.
✭ their voice cracking just a little when they say your name for the first time in a long time.
Lorenzo almost doesn't let him in.
Pierre can see it in his eyes, the way he knows exactly why he's here even though neither of them have said a word. Honestly, if the roles were reversed, Pierre doesn't know if he would be inclined to let his brother's mysterious and intimate companion through the door if he'd heard that he was off getting married. Being heir to a throne is one burden, and the idea of having to take care of your younger brother to protect his fragile heart is a weight Pierre isn't sure he'd be able to manage.
But that doesn't matter, because he has to see Charles. Pierre swears it--he will see Charles, no matter what it takes. He likes Lorenzo from the time they'd spent together around Maranello in the weeks that Pierre had spent in his brother's bed, but he's not against drawing his blade to go where he's needed.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to. Pierre watches Lorenzo's gaze narrow before he steps aside, allowing Pierre to all but leap through the doorway and sprint through the hall, disregarding the servants attempting to call after him and announce him the way a Duke properly should. Propriety be damned. The only thing Pierre cares about is Charles.
He's plenty familiar with the Leclerc household from the hours he'd logged sneaking around to crawl into bed with his sweet bird what feels like a lifetime ago. Finding Charles' bedchamber is second nature. He all but skids to a stop in front of the familiar ivory doors, feeling something close to genuine relief at the sight of them even though what awaits beyond them is still unknown to him.
Lord Leclerc has taken severely ill, is what the letter he'd received said. There's a fleeting voice somewhere in the back of his mind that Charles won't even remember him--that he's taken so ill he is out of his own head, and the idea of him forgetting the affection Pierre feels for him is excruciating. He has to remember. Charles has to remember, because Pierre has to tell him the truth: that he will never love anyone the way he loves him, and that even though he's meant to be married, he can't imagine anywhere he would rather be than here, at Charles' bedside, knelt beside him.
His stomach twists. Drawing a deep breath, Pierre closes his eyes and exhales slowly to calm his demeanor as best he can before he grabs hold of the cool stone knob and pushes the door in.
The first thing he smells is--well, stale air. The windows have been locked up tighter than a drum, he imagines, from how the curtains are drawn all around. Charles' four-poster bed is practically hidden in the shadows of the room, the crackling fireplace the only source of light. It is...it is late, Pierre realizes faintly. He rode through the day and into the night to make it here in one trip, of course it's late. One of the maids lingering in the room catches sight of him and delivers the same scowl Lorenzo had only moments before.
Pierre knows he deserves it. He wishes they would understand, but he knows nevertheless.
The sound of breathing, ragged but as steady as Pierre might have hoped for, fills his ears. Yes, it is late. Charles must be sleeping, as it's easier to care for him this way. His heart sinks deep into the pit of his belly. He could not wait to see Charles, but Charles must wait to see him: Pierre won't waken him from his restful slumber and risk his health any further.
With a sigh, he brushes his disheveled robes down and turns to shuffle meekly back out into the hallway when--
"Pierre." Charles' voice, unmistakable. Sickly, weak, crackling just as the hearth before him does, but Charles all the same.
He can't quite swallow the sob of relief that tears out of him as he turns on a heel and practically sprints to Charles' bedside, kneeling on the chilled stone floor. When he looks up into Charles' face, he almost sobs again. His lover is pale--paler than Pierre has ever seen him, paler than when he has too much drink, paler than any of the injuries they've sustained in their time together. There are dark rings around his eyes. The bright, sparkling green of his pupils have faded into something duller, more sickly.
"Charles," Pierre whispers, clutching one of Charles' pale hands in his own while the other cradles his cheek gently. "My bird, my sweet bird--"
"Pierre," Charles repeats, voice barely there, "are you really here?" He sounds like he's trembling even beneath the thick blankets tucked all around him.
Pierre swallows thickly, tightening his grasp on Charles' weak hand. "I am here, my love," he answers, bringing his sickly palm to his lips and pressing a tender, promising kiss to the perfect center. "I am here and I will not leave you, Charles. Not again."
Hi! Not sure if you still accept requests for your 4k celebration (congrats again!) - if not, just ignore this ask. 💀 So I'd like a Matthias Helvar icon pls, preferably from the scene when he is at the inn with Nina in the last episode and have the "I will keep you warm" - convo 💙 with blue watercolour background. Thank you! ✨
Yes of course! Always happy to make an icon of my crows (don’t worry your drabbles are still coming I just haven’t had much writing time)
Let’s have some fun with this! Which one of these two lovebirds will be the first to say “I love you” to the other? Vote here in this poll! It will remain open until someone says it! (definitely next week sometime!)
To appreciate you playing along, I will reward you! If Melany says it first, I will release a female sim of my choosing to download. If Nick says it, I’ll release the latest male hot off the presses from last night lol.
So, are you #TeamMel or #TeamNick? Have fun, and vote responsibly! 😂
21. A show that you started watching but then stopped? What was the reason? + 78. If you could have a role in any movie ever made, which movie would it be? (LMAO I accidentally hit 'unfollow' while trying to send you the ask, hence the follow notification again... omg 😂)
OMG! That sounds like something I would do! I was kinda curious because I was pretty sure we already followed each other! lol
But on to the questions:
21. I actually have a few. Once Upon A Time was a big one. I loved the premise during the first season and I was interested in the second season. I stuck around for the third cause I thought it may get back to the way it was during season one but I stopped watching midway through because it just became so ridiculous and nothing really like the interesting story that season 1 had been.
I also stopped watching all of the CW Arrowverse shows [even though I do still love them and may get back to them some day] and I can’t even say it was because of the storylines (although they were getting a big uninteresting to me) but I mostly stopped because I watched those with my parents and when my dad got sick and after he passed I just didn’t have it in me to watch them.
Oh and Outlander. Still love it, the only reason I stopped was because I wanted to finish the books before I continued the show and I have procrastinated severely. I read the first 4.5 books in less than a month and it’s been like 3 years and I just haven’t started them back.
78. I couldn’t decide between three and it purely comes down to the fact that I’m a history major/nerd and love period costumes and fancy dresses [they also just happen to be 3 of my top 5 favorite movies]: Gone With The Wind (1939), Titanic (1997) and Pride & Prejudice (2005).
