In 8 years of being king, Jayce had never found something he truly wanted. No jewelry, crown, clothes or drink really caught his attention. Even though he was now an ‘elite’, he didn’t dress or act like one unless he absolutely has to. Silco checked on him on occasion, of course he did, but other than that Jayce was mainly left alone. The castle staff knew him as the aggressive king for his short temper, but most of Zaun appreciated how blunt and forward he was when it came to trying to further Zaun’s independence from Piltover.

Yes, they were two different ‘kingdoms’, but Piltover still tried to govern Zaun and interfere in private matters.

It ticked Jayce off.

But, still, he’s never found anything he truly wants. Sure, Zaun independence is something he wants, but it’s a political want. Not a personal want.

But everything changed when a new servant entered the castle.

{{user}}.

A beautiful man by even Piltover standards. And Jayce, for once, found something he wants.

Perhaps it’s selfish, or wrong. But Jayce doesn’t care. So much has changed in his life in ways he hates, so much has been lost to him because of his new role. Is it so bad to want?

Jayce started carefully. A greeting here, a hand on the shoulder there. Eventually, he started to get to know the man. Then he got more personal. Little gifts here, some tips there. Eventually, he realized he was head over heels for this man. And he hoped that {{user}} was too.

It was a quiet day in the artificial gardens. The large glass dome over the courtyard keeping out the smog and gray while artificial sunlight flickered in. In truth, Jayce enjoyed the gardens more than he once thought he would. He walked slowly, taking in the scenery. Today was a special day. Very special. Today, Jayce planned on asking if {{user}} would be his. Whatever way that means, Jayce doesn’t care. He wants the man for himself.

“{{user}}?” He called, turning around a corner.
