Chapter Text
Treville hasn't the faintest idea of how long he and The cardinal have been fucking. He knows it's been a long time, he knows it's been years.
But he also feels it's been forever. Treville is in love with Richelieu, that much he does know. is the cardinal in love with him, yes, would he admit it? only when he's drunk.
Treville is also easily ticked off by the cardinal, in a hot sparky kind of way. But also the fact that he is sleeping on the couch. You can't really blame the cardinal though, considering Treville stabbed him. Okay let's just make this clear, Treville had to do it and Richelieu knows that. He knows that because the Cardinal was about to kill a spy, but guys that's just politics okay. Treville had to stab him because that is their public dynamic - Richelieu does evil shit, then Treville stops him. If they destroy that dynamic then people can pull a loose thread and untangle their facade. That, of course, is not going to stop the cardinal for giving him hell.
"Jean!?" Treville called, his back was hurting, his eyes red from lack of sleep. "Please I'm sorry."
The cardinal got up, rolling his eyes and letting out a deep sigh. His eyes were also red from lack of sleep, he didn't want to give in but Richelieu had to admit, he felt it was rather difficult to sleep without Treville. "fine. but don't think that I will forgive you every time just because you are pretty."
Treville smirked, getting up and moving into the bedroom, he leaned against the doorframe and wiggled his eyebrows, "Aw you think, I'm pretty. didn't take you for a Romantic, Amant de Jesus."
The cardinal sat up, smirked, then patted the other side of the bed, "Don't tease me Treville, I will have to punish you later."
Treville climbed in next to him, cuddling into his chest.
"I..." Treville whispered, "I really am sorry."
The cardinal placed a kissed on his forehead, letting out a chuckle. "I'm not actually mad about the stabbing, you know."
Treville ran a hand down Jean's chest, kissing into his neck, "yeah I know. you just like giving me hell."
