Princes of the Underworld

The Betrothed Prince

This will test age limits... "Think of Clifford the big red dog." That's how big his other form is.

Their breaths mingled as they ran their hands over each other's skin. This is what you do right? He thought.

He kissed her again, a bit clumsy but she didn't mind. Neither were experienced.

"Ow." She said, startled. He had gropped her breast too firmly. He pulled away to apologize. She nodded telling him it's okay, just be more gentle.

He tried to slow down and not put too much strength in his movements. She also reached to touch him but he jumped, not expecting it.

"You're not hard?" She questioned him. Weren't men supposed to be by default? She thought.

"Just nervous, give it a second." And so they waited, made out, and touched each other intimately. But his situation did not change.

"Um, maybe another time." She said sheepishly. He sighed, pulling away and sitting on the edge of the bed facing away from her. This wasn't the first time this happened. In fact they've been having the same problem numerous times. No matter what they did he couldn't get it up.

"Can I admit something Ryujin?" He accidentally sprouted his dog ears, being so nervous to tell her the truth.

She rubbed his back, since she saw the ears. "Of course. You can tell me anything." He sighed. She was a wonderful person. She was caring and sweet. She took care of the people around her, even if she did not know them. Yet, she was fierce all the same. A protector, warrior, leader.

Many have told him numerous times how lucky he is to have her. And he did feel lucky. He could not imagine life without the woman he loved. His best friend. They grew up together. Been attached to the hip like Simba and Nala since birth. Which made it that much harder to tell her the truth.

He was not in love with her. And he knew he never would be.

They became betrothed at 13 years old. He a Canidae shapeshifter. She a Felidae shapeshifter. Both prince and princess of their sect and species. When their families realized they were born around the same time they chose to betroth them. So they could make a mixed heir with the powers of both species. A Felidae and Canidae shifter.

So he didn't know how she or his family would react to what he was about to say. But he had to tell her. He did not want her to live an unhappy life alongside him if he could not please her.

"I'm gay." He blurted.

Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped in shock. She definitely was not expecting that.

Minutes passed, which felt like hours to the young prince. He looked at her guiltily, waiting for her to say something. "Please-" he started.

"Bwuahahaha! Oh My Goddess! Haha! This is too much!" Now was his turn to be shocked and flabbergasted.

"Why are you laughing?!" He took hella offense.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just-" She couldn't help her cackles. "You're not joking with me right?" She asked between fits of laughter.

He rolled his eyes. Giving her a look of disgust. "Why would I lie about something like this? You know I want to marry you. We both accepted the proposal not because we had to but because we wanted to. I have no need to lie to get out of it with you. I thought you'd be devastated. I was worried you would cause an uproar to burn our castle to the ground. Why the hell are you still laughing?" He was growing more pissed off at her insistent giggles.

"Because- Seungmin... I'm gay." She had tears in her eyes from laughing so hard. Seungmin froze. He didn't know if she was serious or not. But who would actually lie about something that could ruin them.
