    Summary

    To even gaze upon the king's chosen vessel was sacrilege, but lord Derek cannot resist a small peek. After rescuing him from kidnappers, Derek is granted the position as the vessel, Avery's personal guard and finds his control slipping as he gets to know the wonderful man that would someday be taken over by the king. Derek would be powerless to stop such a thing, but for now, he is content to be in Avery's presence. The difficult part is that Avery also seems to be content in his.

    Summary

    Well, now what? If anything, he felt out of place here. He didn’t pray as much these days, not much when he was a kid, even less now. What would he pray for anyways? For guidance? For safety? Maybe…

    Awkwardly, he pressed his hands together.

    “I uh— don’t know how I’m supposed to start these but… Can you send me a sign that Derek is okay? I don’t know where he is— I don’t even know if he’s still alive… What if he’s in pain? I-I wouldn’t forgive myself if he was…”

    “Please… it hurts to think that he’s out there suffering while I’m here sitting just fine. I can’t even sleep anymore! I… I can’t…” Tears started rolling down Avery’s cheeks. Here he was, begging for something almost impossible. “Please, I…” He couldn’t even speak anymore, he was too caught up sobbing about this man he’d never met. His head in his hands as he broke down for the first time since what happened.
