"We should head back , the others will start getting worried." Luv stuttered as he reached for Xi's hands gesturing for him to let go.

It wasn't until now , that Luv came face to face with these new feelings towards Xi , he thought he had simply adored him and thought of him as a "younger" brother.

the younger one now has more things on his plate to overthink when he goes to bed.

"Xi." Luv called firmly while looking up at the Cat.

Xi let out a small whimper before he slowly let his master down.

Luvian's shoulders suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders, though he had fun today, and it was definitely an interesting experience , he realized how much he was messing , and how much he wasn't.

it was also indescribably tiring.

The Young prince did not look forward to step into the carriage and experience the long rocky path again , especially when he's in this state , he'd think of how much of a blessing it would be if these fatiguing rocky paths , were to be replaced with smooth roads like those back in his past life.

Of course he'd discuss that with his older brother at a later time.

'There's so much to be done.' He said taking very heavy steps , his feet had began to ache , despite Xi's hands hovering between his sides every time he felt like his master's about to stumble.

they finally reached the carriage , Luv rested his head against the back that was closest to him , Isaac's.

He huffed as he slumped against the butler's back getting an unknown whiff of some strong musk scent, it caused his eyebrows to furrow faintly 'whose..?' It stung his nose again starting to smell familiar.

"Your highness?" The butler swiftly turned immediately catching the young prince and seating him on the edge of the carriage.

"This is why I was against the idea of you going outside." Arthur ranted as he moved the cloak hood off of Luvian's head , to see him a little clearer.

"We are Returning to the Palace, Right now." He announced while caressing the younger one's slightly Rosy cheek.

"I'm alright-! Just scarcely sleepy." Said Luv being genuine.

Isaac eyed the younger prince's feet , thinking that he'd take care of it tonight.

Arthur looked at his younger brother judging by the past events of Today he had a reason not to fall for it.

"Come here." He said as he pulled out a heavy blanket.

"But it's hot.." he crawled inside the carriage and into his seat.

"Come. Here." Arthur repeated , then he suffocated the poor baby by wrapping him in the blanket.

Luv sighed leaning against Xi as he closed his eyes , he'd better fall asleep before he gets carriage-sick.

He twitched when he felt Arthur pulling his head to his arm instead.

'Please..god just let me sleep in peace.' He cried mentally.

-

Thankfully for our Luv , when he woke up the next day he was at his bed , he wiggled his feet under the sheets they oddly felt better Than he expected.

Isaac had greeted him as usual with opening the drapes. "Good morning, your highness." Isaac shot a smile.

The prince rubbed his eyes to see him clearer , and gave him a nod in response.

The butler started pouring tea in an elegant porcelain cup "Today's tea is lavender brew , it's ought to sooth the nerves and improve blood circulation, your highness,"

Isaac would serve the young prince tea occasionally after a long night , only because He knows he doesn't like it much.

'My Prince is still young , as he matures he will grow for his palate to be more fond of it.' Thought Isaac to himself.

Luv took the cup in his hands feeling the warmth gradually spread against his palms, he found it beautifully done , the details in the porcelain cup itself , and the color of the tea with a few lavender petals floating on top , he could probably stare at it for an hour.

He peaked at the butler as he took a sip , the musk scent from yesterday crossing his mind.

'If I ask for his jacket..would that be weird.'

'It was so weird.' He tilted his head referring to the scent.

Isaac had prepared to take the cup away "what's the matter, is it not to your liking , your highness?"

As Luv shook his head , a sage colored box attracted his attention "What might that be?" He questioned.

"I believe It was sent to you by the prince of Venea , your highness." Said Isaac as he brought the box , and placed it in front of his prince's now crossed legs.

'Liam.' A name immediately popped into his head, excitement in his eyes "That's all that came?"the prince questioned as he smoothly untied the Light ribbon.

"Your highness actually.." Isaac seemed taken back for a moment which was a rare sight "There was a letter , which the crown prince had-"

"-Of course." Luv nodded as he casually continued unwrapping the box , 'hopefully he didn't write anything that would throw him under the train.'

As his sight fell to the velvety looking white fur he couldn't help but let out a tiny squeal , Isaac had turned around to see where that sound came from.

his delicate slender hands slowly came to contact with the fur ,it felt an indescribable softness.

Isaac contemplated his young master 'how could hands be so beautiful.'

Luv had pulled the material into his embrace peaking at the rest of it "it seems to be a blanket." The satisfaction and happiness in the young prince's voice was obvious.

Isaac noted that he shall fix up his young master's bed with this blanket today.

"Indeed , Your highness." Replied the butler.

Luv held out the blanket towards Isaac gesturing that he should feel it too , Isaac obeyed rising one of his eyebrows in response.

'I need that letter though , it's mine' Luv had stated in his mind.

-

"-Hyung." Luvian pushed the door to Arthur's desk room open , and walked towards his brother who was currently standing next to his bookcase.

"Yes." Arthur replied.

The two exchanged similar aloof looks for a few minutes.

"My letter." Luv held out his hand.

Arthur held the younger one's hand and his book with the other hand.

He lowered his head and brought Luvian's hand closer to his lips "what letter?" He planted a kiss on his palm as he looked at Luv through his glasses.

The youngest stayed sullen knowing that Arthur already knows what he's talking about , therefore he was waiting for him to stop this ridiculous act and give him what he wants.

Arthur said pulling Luv one to his lap as he sat on his desk chair and took out the letter from one of the drawers "You are going to Read it right here." He placed his hand on his thigh.

watching Luv examine the letter envelope , before tilting his head to the back and looking at him "hand me a knife." Luv tilted his head back down "-please."

Arthur stopped for a moment to take in what his younger brother just said before realizing what he meant , he opened a small rectangular wooden box that was on the side of his desk , taking out the letter opener , he opened the letter handing it back to him , then put the letter opener into its spot.

Luv had straightened his back as he slowly unfolded the letter peaking at it content before fully opening it.

He read , /dear gracious- / Luv's eyes had skipped this line 'his handwriting is a mess he could tell by the uneven pen pressure that Liam was nervous while writing it , messily adorable'

It followed , /I'm writing to you to let you know that I mis- / Luv bit his lips , he skipped a couple more words he noticed the paper stained with a clear substance , 'is that a tear drop? how very Liam.' /mother had even made a sculpture of you , it's very beautiful yet it doesn't compare to the real.../

The young prince noticed how Arthur had been oddly quiet with his chin rested in his soft curls

'is he sleeping?' He listened to his steady breathing as he continued to read /I think she might be more obsessed with you then I'm../

Luv let out a quiet chuckle as he imagined every word that Liam wrote , /I found a little wolf pup , while I was going for a walk in our forest..i remember you used to care for animals, it makes me wonder if you still do , I'm hoping he'd still be this adorable and healthy by the time you come to visit, yours truly, Liam./

"Hyung." Luv called in a whisper getting no answer.

'he seriously fell asleep.' Luv scolded.

He carefully slipped out of his arms and ran out of the room , coming back with a blanket he covered him with it , then stopped to look at his dark eye circles , thinking of how tired he must've been.

Luv slipped back into his brother's Arms cuddling him as he fell back to asleep.

-

"A king does not need a queen to Rule."

"Why is it that you always feel the need to bring this up when My younger brother is here." Arthur's voice rung faintly inside Luvian's ears, he was asleep yet he could somehow hear him unaware if it's a dream or reality.

Then there was a knock on the door "You called for me, your highness?" Said Isaac as he entered.

"Take the prince to his room." Arthur gently shook his younger brother's shoulder in attempts to waking him up "You've slept enough sleepyhead."

Luv's eyelids fluttered open at his wake up call.

"Excuse me , your highness." Isaac helped the younger prince up and walked him out of the room.

"The ceremony shall be held this week , it is not to be delayed any longer." Arthur announced.

-

"Goodness your highness, you left the bed early and got ready , only to go back to sleep in less than two hours." Said The butler while walking side to side with the prince.

Isaac glanced at his young prince only to be startled

When he suddenly pulled him closer from his tie.

He sucked in his breath , he was never this close to his master while he's conscious , his eyes couldn't help but capture everything they could.

Isaac's lips quivered , he could simply slip and they would be on Luv's.

"What might be the matter your highness?" He questioned, while his golden orbs were glued on the younger one's kissable lips , he tried to back away , yet Luv had a firmer grip than he had thought.

The prince's eyes were following the butler's , as if he knew exactly what he was thinking.

"Your tie was crooked , how unlikely of you , Isaac." Luv had almost stuttered while saying the butler's name.

In a moment of silence and hesitation , two lips teasingly getting closer and backing away.

The young prince eventually lifted his head leaning in for a gentle and quick kiss , glancing at Isaac's reaction the two exchanged eye contact before the older male's hand traveled to the back of Luvian's neck , gripping into his curly hair , he leaned in kissing him back in a slightly more eagerly and rough manner, he pushed the younger one against the wall.
