Two Stars Collide: Part 2 - A TCF/LCF Fanfiction

Chapter 287

After they had finished their meal and the deity had explained his plans to the dragons, the group dispersed to perform their individual tasks. While his children attended their lessons with their various instructors, the God of Love got comfortable on a blanket which had been yet again set out in the garden. To his right were platters filled with snacks for him to eat. On his left were several stacks of files from Amare and a few thick books the ancient dragons had suggested he read while they were gone. However, both the pile of work and the requested literature were left ignored by the noble. Laying on his back while nibbling on a fruit tart, the youth stared up at the stone ceiling which hid his underground sanctuary.

<Doing nothing is really the best.>

Suddenly, a surge of mana came from the center of the Wood Wing. Several minutes later, a familiar blond dressed in his usual fancy attire came walking down the pathway leading to his current resting place. Upon confirming that they were alone, the Future King undid his disguise and flopped down on the soft blanket next to his partner.

"Ha— Today has been so exhausting."

Dark browns widened when a creme bun appeared in front of their owner's face. Although the entity offering it to him had a disinterested expression on his face as he pretended to care more about the cavern roof above them. Chuckling at the younger man's behavior, the mixed blood took a bite of the offered dessert while it was still in his fiance's hand. Silverish emeralds quaked briefly when they focused on the prince. With a delighted smile on his lips, the dark elf gently caressed the deity's cheek and announced.

"Father has finally started to hand over some of his responsibilities to me. Mostly those which belong to the head of the Crossman Household, but he will be transitioning more of his authority when the wars actually start."

<Good.>

"Sounds like a nightmare."

Unable to look away from the beautiful existence who had closed his eyes, the Crown Prince couldn't help grinning in response to his future husband's honest remark. He knew that his partner preferred to slack off like this. Yet when his people's lives were in danger, he'd be the first to protect them. Even if it meant he'd suffer in the process. Additionally, this reckless self-sacrificial idiot was the biggest reason that his position was now secure and responsibilities had increased. Just how had he gotten so lucky to have such an intelligent, kind hearted, majestic existence as his Moon? With his chin propped up on his hands, the quarter dark elf murmured for only his partner to hear.

"I love you, Cale."

<F***!>

Immediately, the 19 years old turned his head away from the mixed blood. Only his slightly pointed ears revealed that he was blushing.

"...no fair..."

At the same time, a very powerful tingling sensation was flooding throughout the God of Love's body. Without even looking over at his fiance, the noble held out his currently empty palm as if he wanted something. Amused by this adorable reaction, the prince pulled out a golden plaque from his chest pocket and placed it in the outstretched hand. As soon as the cold metal touched his skin, a pair of sparkling reptilians focused on the precious treasure. Just as he was about to activate his glib tongue, a delicious cookie was put into his mouth by a smirking brunet.

"Looks like my Future Moon is bored. Whatever shall I do to fix that?"

<S*- Crap! He's up to something!>

Brushing some snowy strands out of the youth's gemlike eyes, the Crown Prince leaned closer to his partner and mischievously proposed.

"Want to come to the palace with me?"
