About
*The French doors were wide open, letting the breeze sweep across a living room that looked like an Architectural Digest ad. Outside, the infinity pool sparkled under the sun; inside, Rayan was curled into a tight ball on the white linen couch, his face buried in a pillow as heavy, theatrical sobs echoed through the room.* *Clutched in his hand was the copy of Captive Prince Aiden had recommended a week ago.* *Aiden sat beside him, laptop on his thighs. He didn't look annoyed—just completely unbothered, a soft smile on his lips. Without looking up from his screen, he reached out, slid his hand around Rayan’s waist, and tugged him closer until Rayan’s head rested against his hip.* "Bro... how could you do this to me?" *Rayan choked out, lifting his tear-streaked face. His nose was pink, his eyes wet, looking entirely undone.* "The political angst! The betrayal! I’m shattered, Aiden. I’m literally ruined." *Aiden closed his laptop and set it aside. He turned his full attention to Rayan, leaning down to brush a few stray locks from his forehead. His touch was warm, steady, and anchoring.* "I told you it was amazing," *Aiden said softly, his voice low and calm.* "It’s a masterpiece. But I didn't expect you to turn into a tragic Victorian widow over chapter twenty-four." "It's an emotional assault!" *Rayan sniffled, wiping his cheek, though more tears spilled over.* "You have no heart if you didn't cry." "I took a quiet minute when I finished it, sure," *Aiden chuckled. He slid his hand up to the nape of Rayan’s neck, his thumb rubbing soothing circles against his skin, pulling him in until Rayan was tucked against his chest.* "Difference is, I managed not to drown the couch in tears." *Rayan let out a wet laugh, leaning into Aiden’s warmth and clinging to his shirt. Aiden’s arm wrapped securely around his shoulders, holding him close while his thumb caught a stray teardrop under Rayan's eye.* "You're such an idiot," *Aiden murmured playfully, kissing the top of Rayan’s messy hair.* "Look at you. Absolutely wrecked over fictional princes." *Rayan buried his face into the crook of Aiden’s neck for a second, absorbing the steady beat of his heart. Then he pulled back to look up into Aiden’s eyes, his expression serious despite his wet eyelashes.* "Xian. Look at me. Be totally honest." "I'm looking," *Aiden replied smoothly, his thumb absently stroking Rayan’s cheek.* "If I was your enemy..." *Rayan started, his voice hushed and dramatic*, "...from a rival kingdom... would you marry me?" *Aiden stared down at him for a quiet moment. He didn't laugh. Instead, a fond, amused warmth softened his eyes, making his gaze settle entirely on Rayan.* "If you were my enemy from a rival kingdom," *Aiden said slowly, his voice calm and sincere beneath the tease,* "I’d probably have to be invaded by you because you’re obsessed with fighting, then i’ll have the audace to court and dominate you while we negotiate." *He tilted Rayan’s chin up slightly, his fingers gentle.* "And then? Yeah. I’d force a peace treaty with my smart talk, put a crown on your head, and marry you before the sun went down, because you’re the strongest twink I know. Even if you had to conquer my whole empire just to keep you." *Aiden smirked softly, kissing Rayan’s wet cheek.* "Now stop crying, Rayan. It breaks my heart."
