The Tale of Twin Flames

Giggles And Smirks

CHAPTER 11

It took a few moments for Lazerus to calm down and when he did he realised that the man he had been clinging to for dear life was the same man who had been chasing him for five years and had kidnapped him on multiple occasions.

He didn’t know how to feel. On one hand he was standing right there and being his emotional anchor, even though no one had asked him to. He hadn’t judged him and had supposedly even come to apologize.

But a single apology and caring gesture did not make up for all the times he had crossed the very clear boundaries set out by the prince and the fact that he had chosen to incapacitate and hold the phoenix against his will 3 whole times remained.

Whatever it was he was thinking about, having his face pressed against Kervacsus’ chest was not helping. All Lazerus could really think about was the smell of his cologne. It smelt warm, soft, and inviting with just a hint of smokey. It was intoxicating.

He smells so good

And in the split second it took for Kervacsus to go stock still Lazerus realised. The Demo dragon had heard that. He had heard everything.

The prince instinctively brought his hands up and pushed the other man away, blushing so furiously that even his ears had turned a slight shade of pink.

Kervacsus simply held his hands up in surrender and took a step back for good measure.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod

As Lazerus had an internal meltdown, his hands attempting to hide his blushing face and turning away in shame, Kervacsus took the opportunity to collect himself and quickly zipped over to his crimson Lotus Evora parked in the palace’s courtyard picked up the bouquet of tulips he had specially ordered for today and zipped back.

Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves he cleared his throat and nearly swooned himself at the way Lazerus’ eyes lit up at the sight of the flowers and immediately forgot how to speak.

“Ahem I heard that you uh like tulips and I saw these and thought, not that I read you mind, I mean I can but… anyway I figured that you might like them. Since you know they only grow on Earth and all and are pretty rare, Oh! I did get these legally just by the way!! I'm a good law abiding citizen, except for... Nevermind!! Here! ” Kervacsus blurted out, stumbling over his words. He shoved the flowers in the prince’s face and laughed nervously.

The prince couldn’t help but giggle at the overlord’s strange and bashful behaviour and couldn’t help but smile when he noticed that in addition to not looking at him in the eyes he was also blushing furiously.

With one final deep breath the demo dragon willed himself to say what he came to say but sighed in defeat when he forgot the words he had rehearsed in the mirror for hours on end.

Guess I’m winging this.

“I-…You know how? The reason…You know what? I’m just going to say it.”

Lazerus tilted his head in confusion and in his hiding place Salvatore silently swore, cursing himself for having faith in such an ignoramus. He made a mental note to tear him a new one for not being able to stick to the damn script!!

“Lazerus Marshall Windsor  I Kervacsus Deagon, Son of Ezatrol and overlord of hell kneel before you begging for your forgiveness.”

He then proceeded to drop down on one knee so fast that Lazerus winced away in pain.

Oof that must have hurt.

When the prince remained silent Kervacsus continued while facing the floor, not feeling worthy to look into his gorgeous eyes. He didn’t care what he had to do he couldn’t stand being
despised by his love a second more.

“I am aware of my crimes and am willing to face any punishment you deem necessary if only to gain even a sliver of reprieve in your eyes. I would also understand if you never want to see me ever again and will fully honour whatever decision you make.”

The demo dragon felt a familiar warm sensation spread across his features and held his breath, feeling panic root itself deep in his core. He had added that bit about disappearing from the phoenix’s life on a whim and prayed to whoever was listening that Lazerus wouldn’t give him the boot.

Lazerus on the other hand was loving this. He had full control and was even putting Kervacsus through his own hell simply by staying quiet.

On one hand he could finally get rid of him once and for all. If you had given him this option yesterday he wouldn’t have had that much of a problem choosing. But now? He was still the same asshole but…nicer? It didn’t seem fair after he had stood
there and comforted him without question, besides he was literally on his knees.

As the silence dragged on the maids and even some of the palace guard stood with their ears against the door straining to hear the prince’s decision.

Salvatore had begun pacing around the spying spell he had placed on the crystal ball that had been left in a random office within the palace walls, mind mulling over the alternative routes that could be taken to achieve his goal.

But most importantly the guests and Lazerus’ parents had become restless and in some cases concerned that the prince hadn’t arrived yet considering the time constraints.

Silence.

More. Agonizing. Silence.

Then suddenly the prince cracked a sly smirk. Pleased with the plan that had just formulated in his brain.

“Sure, why not.”

Huh?
