Kings In Love (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Twenty-Five

-Kaden's POV-

"I want to show you something." I led the way upstairs into the higher parts of the castle, it was getting pretty late so there were hardly any guards around and none that felt brave enough to bother me.

They would contact me through a mind-link if they needed to. It was nice not having to worry about it, instead I could freely roam the castle with my hand held perfectly in Adam's.

I opened the wooden door at the top, stepping onto the stone surface as I pulled Adam along. We were only a step outside when I heard him gasp.

A smile was pulled to my lips as I continued to lead him along until we were near a small wall, standing above the world and looking down on Galtolga. It was definitely the best view you could get; we were high enough up to take in the true beauty of the land, but not high enough for it to be disconcerting.

Once I was happy with our positioning, I finally let myself watch my Keeper.

His eyes were wide and looking everywhere, trying to take in as much as they can, but it's okay, we had time. I didn't want to rush anything with him if I didn't have to, I wanted to feel every emotion and remember every sentiment that graced his face.

"Kaden...it's beautiful," he whispered. With the amazed look in his eyes, and the backdrop of the painfully romantic sky of Galtolga, Adam looked absolutely stunning.

Of course, the sky here was one it was famous for, it was one of our greatest features with its mixed colours of reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks, making it look like the sun was constantly setting.

Just seeing my keeper here, in my world, gazing down on my home, my people, it made me heart swell. Yes, I was very happy indeed.

"I'm glad you like it." I smiled, though his gaze was fixed on the sky. All I could do was continue to watch him, if felt like we had all the time in the world, as if time would wait for us, it was peaceful and comforting, even if I knew it was far from the truth.

"What are you thinking about?" He turned to meet my eyes, his sparkling beautifully.

"You. Us," I clarified.

"That seems to be the whole theorem of my mind lately," he chuckled. "I wanted to ask you something, actually. I just wasn't sure if you would answer or not." He moved to sit next to me on the lowered wall, his body facing towards me.

"I'm more than willing to try." I smiled in reassurance, though a part of me was nervous as to what he would ask, I knew it would be a somewhat heavy question considering he didn't think he would get an answer.

"What's your plan? With Jupiter, I mean. Cameron seems to think that you figured out it was Jupiter before you jumped into the portal, and that you knew you were the one initiating things, you just weren't expecting him to attack so soon. It's kind of why we were so desperate to wake you up, Jupiter didn't follow by the rules, and if he attacks again, we're kind of screwed without you."

Adam was frowning as he tried to put his thoughts into words and I felt bad for making everyone worry, I clearly needed to clear a few things up before everything was taken out of context.

"I made the first move by deciding to fight for you, though I didn't exactly do anything drastic I knew it would grab Jupiter's attention. I knew that I was essentially pissing off a God, for lack of better words. And I knew it would draw his attention to us, I just didn't know how he would retaliate, or when. I want to make it clear, when I went to yours to spend time with you, I was not expecting to be attacked, and I honestly thought it was related to something else for a while, but the people we were facing were so different from what I was used to, it put an end to that suspicion immediately. The storm following us all day should have given me enough intel, but I've been quite distracted with you around, not that that's a bad thing, you are the greatest distraction I have ever had," I clarified.
