Summary
“This will mark you as mine,” Ivan says, stepping over and fastening the gold band around Till’s wrist. He looks down at it for a moment, still holding onto Till’s hand.
Till stares at it as well, his heart pounding in his chest, still not a hundred percent sure he knows what’s going on. Ivan’s never mentioned anything about this before. Despite all his weird teasing and boundary pushing, he’s never brought up making Till his concubine of all things.
“You know I’m not like you,” he says softly after a moment, swallowing hard.
“I know,” Ivan says easily, nonchalantly. Like it doesn’t matter either way.
***
In an attempt to protect the servant musician Till from further mistreatment by his sadistic father, Ivan, the crown prince of Anakt, makes a deal with the king. He promises to take a wife and continue the family bloodline so long as Till can be his male concubine. As the day of the wedding looms over them, the childhood friends are forced to finally confront feelings they've suppressed and ignored for years.

Summary
“Till, Ivan’s our friend too,” Hyuna adds then, her no-nonsense tone of voice drilling through the terse atmosphere as she tosses her head proudly. “None of us know what the fuck went down between the two of you at graduation, and to be honest, none of us care any more. You won’t talk about it, he won’t talk about it, so to me it’s a moot point. You’re both big boys. I’m not going to waste time coddling you. But I do want you both there when I get married, because regardless of what happened, you’re both part of this fucked up little family we have. Capisce?"
Hyuna and Luka are getting married - island getaway, all expenses paid, the whole shebang.
Till and Ivan haven't spoken since graduation, an event affectionately referred to as 'The Incident' seemingly to blame. Forced to be around each other for the first time in two years, Till must decide. Can they move past whatever split them apart? Or will he continue to ignore what's right there in front of him?

Summary
Till always said he wanted someone to protect, someone soft, someone delicate.
Ivan was none of those things. He was tall, powerful, and born an Alpha in a world where that meant everything... and nothing to the one he loved.
So he stayed silent. Watched Till fall for someone else. Watched him smile in ways he never did for him.
Loving from a distance was bearable, until Ivan discovered a way to change. A way to maybe become what Till wanted.
Even if it tore him apart.

Summary
“The city never sleeps. It’s always about the hustle and bustle out there. Sleep, though, is what is needed for dreams. And here, we have an abundance of that too.” she pauses, smiling to herself before facing Ivan, staring into his eyes, “So what are yours?”
(Or A Post-Round 7 AU where Ivan gets some hobbies and friends, Till gets some hobbies and friends and maybe just this once, they can do it together.)
