Your Majesty | Changlix

epilogue

ages 20 and 21

seeing that his older brother was next in line for the throne, felix didn't have to worry about much when it came to the duties that came with the lee family bloodline.

he was eternally grateful that he wouldn't have to be burdened with the thought of having to continue on his family name. he could just be lee felix, prince of south korea, boyfriend to seo changbin.

although he wasn't destined to be king (which was more than ok with him), he still had the title of being prince and so there still remained that expectation that he would have to marry sooner or later. he knew that, and so did changbin.

now, what were the infamous couple doing on this lovely friday evening? celebrating felix's birthday, of course. changbin had taken the younger on a romantic getaway for the past week and it was only their second day back home. felix usually enjoyed spending his birthdays with everyone he loved, and changbin was not going to be the one to take that special tradition away from his lover.

it was evidently getting late, and changbin was itching to get felix back into his room. he acted as if he was exhausted, still rather jet lagged from their adventure. felix, not knowing better, suggested going to bed. changbin happily agreed.

they all waved goodnight to their family and friends, and felix skipped back to the direction of his room, hand in hand with his boyfriend trailing behind him. just as he was about to open his door, changbin tugged him back.

"what's wrong, bin? do you not wanna sleep with me tonight?" felix asked, saddened by the thought of not having him by his side.

"close your eyes" was all he said in return.

"but wh-"

"just close your eyes for me, please?" changbin begged. felix gave up, letting his eyelids fall together.

changbin stepped forward, opening the door himself, and pulling felix along with him. felix felt a sort of dejavú feeling, the way everything was playing out.

"open" he felt changbin's warm breath on the hairs behind his neck as he whispered into his ear.

peeking through one eye first, they both shot up immediately, taking in everything in front of him. changbin had decorated his room just like he had years ago for his birthday. there were silly little harry potter themed prints everywhere as well as a small cake on his desk, displaying a 'happy birthday, my one and only love' with peanut m&ms surrounding the writing.

felix stared at the treat, an overflowing amount of emotions taking over his heart. he sprung around and threw himself onto changbin, almost causing him to fall down. changbin grinned into the hug, spinning him around.

"you did this? for me?" felix said in between sobs.

changbin smiled at him and nodded. "but-but how?"

"how what?"

"it's just the way i did it. how could you have remembered everything so well?" felix said in complete shock.

"felix, you just have no idea how precious you are to me, do you? of fucking course I remember it so well. you made me feel so important, and I don't think there will ever be a way in which I could ever repay you for the love and patience you granted me all throughout these years,".

felix watched as changbin climbed up to his bed and jumped back down, something in his hand. he held it out to the boy. felix could only continue staring at the older.

"however, i want to be selfish, just this once. although there will never be a way to repay you, I want to continue being in debt for the rest of my life. we're still so young to get married, but if you wish to make me the happiest man alive...," he paused, opening the box in his hand. felix gasped.

"this is my promise to you. i promise to only ever make you happy, and be the shoulder you cry on when something makes you sad. I want to be the one who gets to see your messy blonde hair every morning and watch the way you struggle to get to the bathroom when you need to pee after drinking way too much water the night before. let me be the only one for you, i promise to work extra hard to make sure you feel loved and appreciated,".

"this is my promise to making us eternal partners, your majesty," changbin whispered at last, watching as the boy he loved most continuously wipe the tears that would escape from his eye sockets.

as many times before, felix would jump excitedly into changbin's arms. but he couldn't bring himself to do that, due to how heavily he was sobbing. he gently wrapped his arms around his lover's neck and pulled him as close as he could, letting his tears soak into the dark haired boy's shirt.

changbin hummed comfortably to the boy, patting down his blonde hairs gently and swaying their bodies left to right.

"i love you so, so much," felix managed to squeeze out between his sobs. changbin chuckled at the way he struggled to breathe after saying those words.

"I love you even more," he replied.

and that was story of how what was once known as the prince and his grumpy, taller friend soon became the prince and his grumpy, smaller lover for life.
