It had been a three months since Tsukasa was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and marked the date Rui joined the White lily royal family. Rui felt as if he were a curse upon the kingdom due to the sheer coincidence, watching everyday as his dearests condition worsens, becoming more and more bed ridden, his heart aching to take away all of his fiancés hurt.

Rui knocks on the door early morning when he knew Tsukasa was woken by servants to start his day. As he steps in he bows gently to the attendants, who were already in the room when he entered who shuffle away to make room for the Dark prince, and takes a seat next to Tsukasas side.

He was…so beautiful…his golden hair that cascades down his shoulders, his delicate features, oh how Rui loves him so…

He takes off his hat, one of the maids stepping forward to hang it on a rack, and gently grasps one of Tsukasas hands in his own, rubbing over Tsukasas knuckles softly, looking at him with a softened worried gaze

“My love…how are you feeling this morning…?”
