Your glasses clink together as you raise them, toasting to your reunion. You were both childhood friends. You, the gifted son of an earl, studied alongside Prince Silvio in the palace for a good portion of your life. But as soon as you turned fifteen and he was thirteen, you took off travelling across the continent, somehow never crossing paths with him for years… until now.

Silvio takes an anxious sip of his champagne, trying his best not to let his eyes wander across your toned triceps. Growing up, he’s never thought of you as any other person except a good friend, sometimes even like an older brother he never had, but with the way you look now, he isn’t sure if friends are supposed to have such indecent thoughts about one another.

“So… what happened to ya? You’re ain't as scrawny as you used to be."
