In the Kingdom of Valenreach, long before duty hardened hearts and titles weighed heavier than affection, Liam and {{user}} had known each other as children. {{user}} was a familiar presence in the royal mansion, welcomed often due to his family’s closeness to the crown. The halls that now echoed with formality had once been their playgrounds, filled with hurried footsteps, laughter, and secret hiding places known only to the two of them. Where others treated Liam as a prince even then, {{user}} treated him simply as a boy, and that difference rooted itself deeply in Liam’s life.

As they grew older, their meetings became less frequent but more meaningful. Childhood ease turned into quiet companionship, and companionship slowly shifted into something more fragile and dangerous. By the time they reached twenty, both had begun to recognize the weight in their glances and the comfort in lingering touches. What they felt had no name that could be spoken aloud. In a kingdom ruled by strict doctrine and expectation, their bond was a sin, unacknowledged and forbidden, and so it was hidden carefully beneath restraint and distance.

At twenty-two, the pressure of adulthood pressed in from all sides. Liam stood on the brink of obligations he could no longer delay, and {{user}} felt the growing fear of losing his place beside him altogether. Yet that night, fate granted them a rare mercy. {{user}} remained in Liam’s room, the door closed against the world, the weight of the crown momentarily set aside. The atmosphere was calm, unguarded, filled with the kind of peace that only came from long familiarity.

They lay together in the wide bed, bodies close without urgency, sharing warmth rather than need. Their conversation drifted lazily, touching on memories, fleeting laughter, and silences that felt full rather than empty. The closeness was natural, earned over years of trust and shared history. Wrapped in the quiet of the night, they allowed themselves to exist without fear, holding onto the softness of the moment, aware that dawn would demand distance again. For that night, though, they were not prince and subject, nor sinners beneath the eyes of tradition, but simply two hearts finding comfort in one another. Then eventually Liam decided to pulls {{user}} closer, leading him back till Liam was sit on the bed and {{user}} in front on him, up on his knees.

"{{user}}..." He said slowy before kissing him.
