“I really left paradise to come here? I mean no offense to the Windsors, but this palace is kinda lame…”
“paradise?!” the finnish prince’s eyebrows rise, “sounds like a nice alternative in this weather. where are you from?”

“I really left paradise to come here? I mean no offense to the Windsors, but this palace is kinda lame…”
“it’s not the most prettiest of palaces, however it’s going to be my future part-time home so im going to have to learn to love it.”

she could feel his breath tickle her neck, making her smile. she rolled her eyes but the smile on her face remained at his threat. “is violence your answer to everything or is that something i bring out? i truly hope you don’t pass this down to our children. and if you want to keep me away from such company so badly, you’ll just have to come WITH me to the opera.” she said with a shrug. “also ‘get fresh’? what even is that, some kind of American slang?” her distaste for the phrase was apparent with her tone.
she knew something was bothering him from the tone of his answer. she turned her head away from the sky to look at him with concern in her eyes. “oh.” she said at his admission. “would you like to talk about it or prefer not to?” she asked, not wanting to push him into having a conversation he didn’t want to have but simultaneously wanting to help him in any way possible.
he could almost fall asleep in the position he lies in. if they weren’t in the process of a date, aleksi would be more than happy than to slip of into the comfortable arms of sleep, outside on the grass under the stars. the way he had slept plenty of times during his travels, and it’s that sense of freedom of his younger years he still craves. rather than being bubble wrapped in the protection of guarded places, left in a peaceful vulnerability being the ground and space above. “haven’t you heard? in findland we drink heaps of vodka and go out punching wolves — for fun. and that’s just before breakfast. ” the prince quips, a lazy smirk dangling off the edge of his lips, he’s grown to get enjoyment out of gently tugging at her strings. “sorry, mainland europe speaks american english now babe. too many hollywood movies.” "i don’t particularly want to ruin a good night with a bad mood.” aleksi explains, offering a gentle smile as he pushes a lock of hair behind her ears, “tomorrow, ok?” he’d probably negate from the subject again tomorrow too, though.

the male stopped to purse his lips. his gaze hit the ground, avoiding contact with the other. “it’s fine. i deserved it — for, you know, being the world’s biggest douchebag.” he rocked gently on his heels. no one would ever understand how hard it was for espen to mutter an apology. it literally hurt him to —- this being the first time he ever apologized to anyone. sure, it wasn’t the ideal circumstances. none of it was. “i totally deserved it. and, uhm, i’m sorry i hit you back? honestly, i don’t really remember what happened. i just remember my hands bleeding and linnea patching them in the bathroom. so, whatever i did, i’m sorry.”
“everything's falling apart esp.” he can’t hold it in any longer, the moment a slither of his best best returns in the younger boys voice, the words aleksi had been dying to scream into the atmosphere spills out into the year. however this time in a broken voice. “its falling faster than the ability i have to save it.”

stubbornness was a trait that the windsor siblings shared and albie was no exception to the rule. whilst he’d usually stay out of brigade drama and ‘nonsense’, this wasn’t the same. the information that the infamous ‘redqueen’ spilled made him see red and he wanted to know if there was anything he could do, even if it was merely being a human to shout at. granted, albert windsor hated when people shouted at him but in this situation, he suspected he’d take it. “are you really going to ignore us until the dawn of time? you’re marrying my sister, aleksi, which makes us brothers-in-law, which makes you family and whilst i might not be the best…one of those, i want you to know you’re not alone. we’ve got your back. whether you’re willing to realise that or not.”
aleksi knew once the marriage was celebrated and official, he wouldn’t have the freedom to run off and shut himself away from the windsors. they were becoming family, and his business would become theirs. “i can’t... deal with this albie.” aleksi’s words are muffled from below the sheets.
“I wish it could always be like this.”
“You’re always there for me.”
“The stars are the only thing that makes sense.”
“There’s more out there, you just have to be patient.”
“It doesn’t all have to be existential dread.”
“You’re so much different when we’re alone.”
“I like it when the worlds quiet.”
“There’s a place for us somewhere.”
“They’ll name constellations after you one day.”
“Your hearts beating so fast.”
“They don’t know what they want.”
“You don’t know what you want.”
“That’s what they’re supposed to say.”
“We really don’t know what we’re doing.”
“I miss the old you.”
“Nostalgias a trap.”
“Aliens are out there.”
“Did you hear that?”
“I really want pizza right now, think it’s open?”
“What time is it?”
“But why would they abduct cows?”
“We’ll all be dead soon enough anyways.”
“I wish we didn’t have to sleep.”
“What do you believe in?”
“What happens after we die?”
“Seems like a silly thing to say, don’t you think?”
“And what’s your excuse?”
“You’ll get it together soon.”
“Sometimes I feel like I’ll never have it together.”
“It’d be better if people weren’t so afraid of their feelings.”
“You keep quiet and we both lose.”
“I wish I could save this forever.”
“When did you realize you were in love with me?”
“The rooms spinning.”
“I loved you long before you knew.”
“I’m not afraid of death, I think it’ll be peaceful.”
“The Universe is too big for that.”
“Do you think we’ve met in other lives?”
“I’d come back to haunt you.”
“Would you come back to haunt me?”
“What’s alternate universe you doing right now?”
“Tell me a secret.”
“Why haven’t you told anyone?”
“I wish we knew each other sooner.”
“You’re a game changer.”
“I’m a game changer.”
“Don’t ignore fate.”
“Ignorance isn’t bliss.”
“What, is that a conspiracy theory?”
“It’s probably the Illuminati anyways.”
regalfright !!
“alright, you’re right. i’m absolutely beautiful – don’t tell anyone i said that, though. my entire deal is self deprecation.” he teases, before holding his hand across his heart. “damn it. we’d make such a good couple, it’s a shame. oh well, i suppose brother-in-laws will suffice.” he teases, his smile brighter now. “yeah, i’m…fine – always, right? just a bit of a weirdo, as always.”
“much better!!” the prince proclaims, grinning widely. “nuh uh, we don’t do pessimism here. not in aleksi space. next step is to shout that ‘i’m beautiful’ off the top of buckingham palace.”
what if i like…didnt fuck up for once??? That would be so lit
espenhagebak !!
espen wasn’t surprised by the other’s reaction. if he was him, he’d hide away too. sitting on the edge of the bed, he ran a hand over his face. “yeah —- i did expect you to not want to see me.” he tried to muster up a laugh, but it was miserable and a failure. “anyways, i came to see you and, uhm, apologize.” espen wanted to see the other. he wanted aleksi to talk to him. he wanted to fix it all. “i know you probably hate me —- for leaving, for not putting you in the wedding, for hurting you. i would hate me too. a lot of people do, so it’s completely understandable that you do too.” his pale pink lips pursed together as he looked toward the ground. “i miss you. it’s not fun having just linnea around. honestly, it’s kind of lonely.” he waited for a second, hoping the other would eventually reply. “i guess i’m trying to apologize for being a terrible person to you here lately —– and thank you for always being one of the few people to actually care about me. it means a lot to me.” he stood up lightly, preparing to leave.
the prince opens his squinted eyes, gaze panning in the direction of the boy at the door, view blocked by the sheet he hides under. for a moment he wishes diana would return from wherever she happened to be right now. It’d make the whole process of the upcoming exchange easier if he had a buffer. upon hearing the younger mans intent of apologising, the finnish prince lifts his head slowly from the pillow to take in the sight of espen. “i’m sorry i hit you.” he’s more interested in asking why espen had been acting like a jerk for the last month, however it’s probably a pandoras box he’s not ready to dig into before he got a proper apology out of espen.
hrhvivienne !!
“Don’t you think they get bored?” Vivienne spoke aloud, from where she sat on the window seat looking out onto the crowds of people in the mall. Not bothering to turn to see who was behind her yet, she hummed messing with the lock of the window over and over again. “I mean it’s just looking at a palace and certainly not even the prettiest of palaces. It’s just taking a picture of a big building, seems like it’s a waste of time, most definitely boring, but I’ve watched and there are families and tour groups who have been outside for at least an hour just looking at it. I’d lose my mind.” Smirking a bit she let the window creak open not even a centimeter, finally looking back at the person she’d been speaking to. “Should I give them a show?”
“honestly, it feels like another form of stalking.” it’d been the first time since aleksi’s secret had been revealed that he’d ventured out to someone elses room. someone he trusted. “if we were anyone else you’d be calling the police telling them you have several hundred groups of families standing with cameras outside your house.” he’s not usually this bitter about the common people, his dismal mood still hadn’t faded away just as yet. aleksi’s eyes widen at the womans final comment, attention darting back towards hers “depends what kind of show you’re thinking about there...”
hrh-diana !!
“ ‘didn’t want to believe it’?“ she repeated in an incredulous tone as she got up from where she sat. “are you telling me you KNEW? you had been warned about this, but you chose to ignore it? ‘i didn’t want to believe it’ sounds like an excuse a six-year old would make.” she went and stood next to the window in the room, looking outside with her breathing rapid due to her anger towards the Finnish prince, her back facing him. “if you had just found out about it, and were hesitating to tell me, i would have been understanding. it was for just one day, after all. but the fact that you were foolish enough to not listen to your doctor’s warnings and furthermore, kept drinking like a fish, is what angers me. how could you be so incredibly irresponsible, knowing that there are SO MANY PEOPLE who care for you? an entire country?”
she took a pause after her rant, still not willing to face the prince. there were tears swelling up in her eyes now, from frustration and distress. she was frustrated completely by the situation but more so she was utterly distressed by the prospect that something might happen to Aleksi. the mere thought of any harm befalling him, made her upset. she spun around at his use of the word ‘unfair’. “ I’m being unfair?” she rhetorically asked him. “i’m not the one who might die and leave the person i love alone! i am not the one who fails to understand that if something were to happen to me, i wouldn’t be the only one who suffers. i am a lot of things right now, but unfair isn’t one of them.”
he wants to fight, he wants to spill his guts of all his pent up emotions he’d dosed down every kind of alcohol imaginable. but he can’t it past his throat, a natural reflex, maybe. however, someone else manages to spill the beans for him. a flash of his phone — a heavy gaze darts towards the screen, thankful for something to focus on other than diana. the red queen. the message states the name he dreaded the devil ever posting — aleksi saarinen. with wide eye’s he reached for the small devise, unlocking it’s screen with thumbling hands. his heart was beating so hard against the boys chest it had become difficult to breath. perhaps it was about the fight... but everyone already knew about that. ‘OR MAYBE THOSE DEATH THREATS ARE ENOUGH TO COAX YOU INTO NOT OWNING UP. ‘
a knot ties deep within aleksi’s throat, and suddenly all the world falls into a haze of white noise and static, unable to notice if diana had continued on with her angry rant. by now the finish princess’ face had flushed a whiter shade of pale, the phone had dropped into his lap, the hand that once held it still out in place — shaking. his worst nightmare, apart from receiving the threats themselves, had descended upon him. it’s almost as if this curse of a drama blog wanted to have him killed too.
regalfright !!
soon enough he’s glaring at the older prince, but his nose scrunches in a bid to prove he’s not so serious. “oh, you seen that with your own two eyes, aleksi? because if not, giving a man such hope is just cruel.” he swallows thickly. “yeah. is that so shocking?”
“come on man, be vain for first time your life. you’re a good looking dude. if i wasn’t so in love with your sister, i’d go after you.” aleksi can’t help but chortle at albie’s reply. “no, it’s not... you alright man?”

“don’t let her get on your nerves so easily, or else it will be really hard for you to be related to her.” she joked, still looking up at the stars. she couldn’t remember the last time she had taken time out of her tight schedule to just lay back and spend some time in her beloved gardens. it seemed to her that there was always a crisis to handle, documents she needed to go over. she performed more duties than even the other crown heirs, since she had volunteered to do so. ‘what better way to learn?’ she’d say, but those duties had taken away any time she could have used to idle away.
she chuckled when he refused to agree to her statement about opera. “well in that case i’ll just have to find someone who can accompany me to long opera recitals since you won’t.” she teased, with a small smirk. she wasn’t looking at him still, but she could sense his eyes on her in the light of the moon. a part of her felt extremely tense with him studying her so closely, but she didn’t let that show. “are you excited for tomorrow?” she said, unable to tolerate silence knowing he was watching her so closely. “your best friend is getting married, after all.”
aleksi lets a lazy arm wrap around the front of the princess’ torso, nestling his face into her shoulder. he can smell the hints of some rosey-ish shampoo and her perfume — a scent strong enough to lower his heart rate, and put him self at ease. the scent of diana. he lets the conversation of victoria end there, rather wishing to fill their night in light, happy conversation. or at least lay in silence and watch the sky for a few hours, knowing it’ll be one of his last moments of peace leading up to their wedding. “hmm?” aleksi inquires, “if any of those company happen to be male and try to get fresh with you ill break their nose.” aleksi offers a sly grin, and a wink. the very mention of espens wedding leaves aleksi in a few seconds of contemplating silence, pondering over whether he had the energy to explain what was going on between them. “yeah, sure.” it was a flat answer, aleksi had little intention of actually going. he’d most likely blown espen’s aversion to the group out of proportion, but it was easier to dump your problem onto someone else for responsibility than to accept it yourself. “we haven’t been talking.”
espenhagebak !!
espen was beginning to see his flaws at hand — the flaws in the way he lived, the flaws in his relationships, the flaws in his system. they weren’t a reality that he wanted to see. they were quite far away from it. it was time to make a new beginning, even if it meant he didn’t want to. walking to aleksi’s room was nervous wrecking in it’s own way, leaving espen to question everything. but it didn’t prevent him from knocking and promptly walking in right after. “hey….” he muttered to the other as he closed the door behind him.
he’d shut the world away, only diana had caught had been allowed within his room. aleksi hadn’t even taken calls from his family, and it had been almost two weeks since the blast. an entire country would be waiting on an answer, and he expected government officials, or his father to arrive in london any day soon to get to the bottom of this. however, until then, aleksi was content with lying underneath his blankets. perhaps the only perk of being bed bound, sleeping, was that aleksi had officially been sober for a fortnight. he’d never not been drunk for over a week since he was seventeen years old. perhaps it had something to do with his stern fiancee. espen entering aleksi’s room suddenly sends a wave of confusion over the boy — he forgot to lock the door after diana left. however, he pretends not to have heard the younger boy, staying still and silent underneath his sheets. perhaps he’ll just walk away...what was espen doing here anyway? finishing the fight aleksi blacked out half way into?
