Raemond sat on the bay window seat in his bedroom, legs curled up, looking through the glass and up at the sky.
The stars shone brightly above his castle and kingdom, each one dim compared to the shining moon. Any clouds had long since retreated, leaving the sky clear.
An old tome and a notebook sat next to him and a heavy blanket was around his shoulders. He rested his head against the window paynes, sighing softly and contentedly.
He fidgeted with the cuffs of the oversized jumper he was wearing, the soft material helping to ground him.
The door to the ensuite opened and closed quietly, footsteps coming over to him. A strong pair of arms wrapped around his stomach from behind as his husband slid in behind him, putting his legs on either side of his.
Raemond leaned back, smiling as his back was hugged to Everett’s chest, the inventor’s head resting on his shoulder. He could smell his husband’s soap, feel the warmth of his body through their clothes from the water of the shower and the slight drip of water from any spot that wasn’t fully dried.
“Hey starshine.. you okay?”
He nodded slightly, relaxing into the strong arms that held him, tracing words onto the back of a clean, rough skinned hand.
today was alot so m a bit overwhelmed
“That makes sense, you had a really busy day.. how’s the unwinding going?”
better now you’re here
Everett pressed a kiss to his neck, gently holding his hand and stroking his knuckles with his thumb, “That’s nice to hear, my lovely, thank you..”
Raemond hesitated for a moment before tracing, dysphoria’s come back too
He felt his inventor’s arms tighten around him and his lips pressing into the trimmed hair that grew along his jawline.
“That’s why you’re wearing your big jumper..”
The king nodded, curling up and turning over slightly, trying to hide his face in Everett’s shoulder.
“Well.. you’re my pretty boy, my beautiful husband,” He whispered, running a hand through his king’s long hair, “and you’ll never be anything else to me other than the man I love with all my heart.. the father of our daughter, protector and leader of our home..”
Raemond sniffled, giving a small, wet laugh- not even realising the tears had fallen.
“You’re the best Dadi to our little snow orchid.. the best husband I could ever ask for and the most amazing ruler of Morningstar Kingdom yet..”
“‘ank you, love..”
“Anytime, darling..” Everett smiled, “I love complimenting you, reminding you how strong and handsome of a man you are, and how much we all love you.”
He looked up to his husband’s face, soft smile widening as the hand in his hair cupped his face, drying his tears with his thumb.
“Thank you for telling me you were disphoric, Rae.. I’m so proud of you,”
“Of course.. I trust you with everything.. I always will snowfire..”
Everett pressed his lips to Raemond’s forehead before resting his own forehead against his, holding his face with both hands.
“And I’ll forever trust you with everything, starling..”
“I love you, Ev..”
“Love you too, Rae..”
