gray wiped his tears and turned to look at the tall figure.He smiled weakly at eret, trying to hide the fact he was just bawling his eyes out. "h-hey your majesty-"

"eret. just call me eret."she interrupted him.
"hey, eret. w-what are you doing up so late? you should be asleep."

"that's what i should be asking. why were you singing a sad love song and crying,gray?" Gray's air caught in his lungs, time frozen.

'shit shit shit shit'
"uhh..."he droned off. eret walked over to the boy, pulling his head into them. She bent down and kissed the top of his head, leaving gray flustered.

"you can always talk to me, you know. now don't cry, pretty boy."she laid down on his bed, resting his head on her thighs. "now,sleep darling. it's 3am ." her voice lulled the tired boy to sleep, along with her handle softly scratching his scalp.
"goodnight, eret." he mumbled, before falling into a deep sleep...

Gray woke up confused, looking up to see the king sleeping soundly. he admired her face, looking at how peaceful she looked while sleeping soundly. he slowly got up, realising he was still sleeping on her lap. heat rose to his face, tinting his ears red. Eret's eyes flickered open, watching the flustered boy. she couldn't deny he had feelings for him. and seeing him cry hurt her heart, all they wanted to do was wrap him up in a blanket and protect him from the world.but, she couldn't, not now at least.

Gray got out of bed, flushed as red as a tomato. eret sat up, watching the boy walking around the room in a mess, amused.
"i need to head out for now,darling. see you later in the throne room." they said with a small smile, walking over to the smaller figure. she hugged the boy, kissing the top of his head and rubbing soft circles in his back. they rushed out of the room, needing to get ready for her kingly duty. gray got dressed for the day and left for the throne room, ready for another day of work.
