30 day OTP challenge but with Empergloves!!!

👑Day 5👑

Day 5: Hugging!!!!!!

Of course we got our lil' acrobat of Gloves. I like the idea of them being a contortionist. So here we go!!!

-------------------

Emperor adjusted his reading glasses, his eyes scanning the page and reading the words. It was a simple read; A classic about an Angel and a Demon trying to stop The End Times, along with a witch, a witchfinder, and the antichrist. It was the only book he still had from moving to Inkopolis from Germany. In fact, it was the first English book he ever read that wasn't a textbook.

The one thing that could distract him from his favorite book was one of his three favorite people; Prince, Regent, and of course, Gloves.

Speaking of Gloves, since the greenette had moved in, the exercise room of the Castillo Mansion had added a few pieces of acrobatic equipment. Mainly a balance beam, and a specialized pull-up bar, made especially for tricks. Gloves was currently on the balance beam, practicing things that might have been hard for the average inkling, but were easy as cake for Gloves.

Emperor had seen the routines and tricks countless times before. He still loved seeing them. That, and Gloves' so-called "Creepy Bending". It always fascinated him how many weird spots and positions Gloves could squeeze into without being harmed. It was rather useful in...more than one situation. The bedroom being one of those.

Currently, Gloves was standing up on their hands, their legs doing all sorts of stuff that looked like it shouldn't be possible but it was. Emperor was sitting in a chair he had placed in the room so he could view this spectacle. Or for reading in between bouts of working out. The sun-yellow inkling loved reading. Gloves could only stand wordy books if Emperor read to them or if they were about animals.

The regal inkling set down his book. "Love, you've been at this for a while. You need to take a break." He said.

"Emp, I'm fine!" Gloves stated. They shifted their weight to their left hand, moving their right to grab their foot, while the free leg stuck fully in the air, as if en pointe. "I've done this for longer."

"But you've literally had no breaks since 6 am. It's 11."

"So?"

Emperor sighed. "I'm not giving you cuddles tonight if you don't take a break.

Gloves just fell down with a yelp. "WHAT! Babe nooooo!!!!"

"I knew that would work." The king smiled, marking his book page with a small folded corner to set it down. "Now c'mon. I want a hug."

The acrobat nodded, making their way to Emperor with a bit of difficulty, mainly because of their sore limbs, before just sitting on his lap. "Hugs...." 

Emperor chuckled, hugging his fiancé. "You're going to be sore for ages. We can take a bath later, hm? That can sooth your muscles, hopefully."

Gloves nodded, returning the embrace. "Y-yeah, that's be n-nice..."

The king smiled, pressing a kiss to Gloves' nose. "For now, just rest. K? You need it."

They nodded again, letting their eyes drift close.
