Work Text:
Two males were found giggling while running through the halls of their villa in the middle of the night, if anyone was to see them, they'd say that some demon possessed them to do those things or they'd simply just think they were dreaming.
But if you were to ask the two, they were really only having the time of their lives, together, only when the two were alone like this did they feel they could be themselves.
One of the two men slammed open a huge door to an even bigger room that had wooden floors and curtain draped along the walls, along with a huge window that peered out into the garden, that also happened to have a large balcony coming off it.
It was actually a sort of playroom for some of the kids that resided in the villa, but these two thought it was the perfect place for them in this very moment, where they'd express all their emotions, right here, right now.
The taller of the two men, grabbed his partners hand and pulled him into the middle of the room while still facing the smaller red-head, all while wearing a love sick grin on his face.
I found a love, for me
Darling just dive right in, follow my lead
The smaller red-head, who goes by the name Cale Henituse , formally Kim Rok Soo, blushed at the words the brown haired man in front of him was saying, but indeed followed his beloved's lead in dancing.
While the brown haired man, Alberu Crossman, who was out of his disguise, just smiled lovingly at the red head while guiding him through the steps of a random, free style, ballroom dance they were doing.
Well, I found a boy, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
Alberu continued to sing to his beautiful boyfriend, while gliding around the floor, there were giggles and pecks exchanged every now and then as they looked at each other, as if nothing else in the world mattered at that moment, it was just the two of them.
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
This time it was Cale who sung out the heartfelt lyrics, that were true. He was only 18 when he met this stupid prince and unknowingly fell in love with him.
In the past Alberu had hesitated to tell Cale how he felt and he almost missed it, when Cale almost killed himself with that little stunt he pulled at the white sh!t- ahem I mean star. He didn't wanna miss or waste this precious time and memories he was sharing with this man in front of him.
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine
Cale continued to sing as he pulled Alberu towards him giving him a quick kiss, despite the lyrics, then out of the room, down the giant stairs and into the backyard.
The two both had the biggest grins on their face as they looked at each other and remembered everything they had been through that led to this moment, where the two of them were twirling and laughing out in the garden, so engrossed with each other that they didn't even realise that it was a miracle no one in the house had woken up from them.
The look the two were giving each other just showed how deep their love for the other truly was. They truly looked like soulmates, who never wanted to leave the others side for even a second. In that very moment, while they were twirling and singing in their garden, no one else mattered, no one was there to disturb them and they were loving every second of this.
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
As Alberu sang those lyrics, with his voice filled with love and affection, he pulled Cale in and gave him a hug.
Cale was the only person that made Alberu feel good about being him. Not even his amazing Aunt Tasha could fully relieve him of the insecurities he felt when he was in his dark elf form. But Cale was different, he made Alberu feel so happy and loved even in his current form, he somehow could just make all of the bad thoughts Alberu had, just disappear.
Maybe it was because Cale was a very convincing person, or maybe it was just the love and trust he had in Cale that made him want to believe every words the man said. Alberu didn't know, but he did know that he loved Cale more than anything and never wanted to let go of him.
Barefoot on the grass
Cale laughed after he said that, he had just woken up earlier that night and ran to the room Alberu had been staying in while on a break, he stayed in a separate room to avoid suspicion of the other residents in the house. It wasn't that the two didn't trust their other family members, it's just they wanted this to be something between just them, something that was special for them, that nobody else knew, for now at least.
They had been in such a rush and were having so much fun that they didn't even care that they were just wearing their pyjama's and had no footwear on. That was nothing a first young master/retired commander and and emperor should be doing but right now their were none of the judging eyes of the nobles or citizens, they were free to do as they like.
Listening to our favourite song
The two had sang in sync, smiling and dancing around in the garden, they ran around playing and just enjoying each other's company. Plus they were indeed listening to their favourite song, which was this song that they regularly sang together, and even composed together.
When you said you looked a mess
I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it
Darling, you look perfect tonight
Cale indeed looked a mess right now, his brilliant red hair was loose and had several strands sticking out all over the place, his clothes were disheveled and his face was flushed. But to Alberu, who, now more then ever, could not find a single imperfection in his beloved dongsaeng, thought he was the most beautiful man on earth. To the taller brunette the ethereal looking man in front of him looked absolutely perfect in absolutely every way and he could not help but fall more in love with this man everyday.
The two continued to laugh as they ran back inside, heading back to the room they were previously dancing in. As they headed back in and up the stairs Cale continued to sing with a huge smile that was full of affection, very OOC for our beloved commander, I know.
Well, I found a man, better than anyone I know
He shares my dreams, I hope that someday he'll share my home
This was a peculiar sight of two men, dancing and singing in the middle of the night, but anyone who was to witness such a performance would say that it was absolutely beautiful, the love in their eyes as they gazed at one another and their voices as they sang to each other with the most affectionate tone.
The sentence sung by the beautiful red head was true, he did indeed with to live with his dear emperor, he wished the man could come and live with him. But alas the taller man was an emperor and had work to do, they have figured out a plan to get around that but they'd have to wait until they're married. He also did indeed with to share his slacker life with Alberu, but knowing the older man, he'd have to wait until they were grey and old, so until then he'll have to enjoy it on his own.
They ran to the balcony that came off the room they were previously dancing in, they just stared at each other as the moon bounced of off their skin and made the two look so beautiful that it would make normal elves look like squids, no, cockroaches.
I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
These two men that were so infatuated with one another that all of their deepest secrets were also the deepest secrets of the other. They had trusted each other with every secret they had including their pasts and family problems, all had been revealed. But the trust they had in each other was so large that they felt little fear when telling one another those things.
They were also soon planning on asking Eruhaben to study and find a way for them to have kids together, which was unheard of between two men. They love the three children averaging 11 years old, but they did want a child that was a proof of their love and loyalty together. If Eruhaben couldn't find a way, they could just scam a god or two nothing too hard.
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my boy, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Cale and Alberu were indeed fighting against all odds, they knew their were gonna be some nobles and citizens that wouldn't support them, but that was fine, they loved each other and that's all that matters. As long as they were happy and contented with being together that was all that truly mattered to them
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that suit, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this
Darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And he looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
Alberu was the angel that had brightened up Cale's sad and hard life. Within his 39 years of living his life had only been truly stress free and joyful for 5 of those years.
The first four years of his life as Kim Rok Soo were so joyful, he had loving parents who spoiled him with their love. After they died everything went down hill, his uncle horrendously abused him, the invasion of monsters and when he was finally feeling a bit of hope with his two hyungs, they went and died.
Even when he entered this world he felt stressed about the war, plus he felt threatened and endangered by all of the vicious and strong people around him. Even the year before when he was partly living his slacker life he was stressed and paranoid that something bad might happen. Luckily in the past year he decided to push out all unnecessary thoughts and just enjoy his life as is.
Whenever Cale was feeling sad or stressed Alberu could always cheer him up, and was always willing too! He truly was like an angel that had come to save him from his dark memories and thoughts. Which was quite ironic because Alberu's race was said to be abandoned by nature and the gods, so such a person being an angel was unheard of. Though Cale was never one to discriminate, unless you're the enemy, especially the White Raddish.
As the two had finished the song they had decided to have a small rest on the couch in the main living room. And when I tell you that the household was surprised when they woke up and found their two beloved family members snuggling on the couch. Of course they didn't wanna disturb the only sleep the two would probably get that week because of certain issues that came up, so they just let the two nap for the day.
