The Royal Husband (taynew fanfic)

Confessions

As Tay arrived at New's castle, he was greeted warmly by King Sebastian, who welcomed him with a nod of acknowledgment and a gentle smile. Tay returned the gesture with a respectful bow, his heart racing with anticipation as he prepared to seek out New.

With determined steps, Tay made his way through the familiar halls of the castle, his mind focused on the prospect of finally reuniting with New. Each familiar corridor and familiar sight served as a poignant reminder of the bond they shared and the memories they had created together.

Fah's voice halted Tay in his tracks just as he was about to proceed to New's room. Turning at the sound of her call, Tay met Fah's gaze with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension, unsure of what she might want to discuss.

Fah: Tay, I wanted to have a conversation with you.

Tay: Of course, P'Fah.

Fah: Please, have a seat.

Servants bring them tea and snacks, and they settle in.

Fah: Tay, I've noticed something between you and my brother, and I wanted to hear it from you. How do you feel about New?

Tay: Well, P'Fah, I care deeply for New. He's become an important part of my life, and...

Fah: And?

Tay: And I think... I think I may have fallen in love with him.

Fah: I see. And what about Princess Anya?

Tay: Ah, I've already spoken with her. She found someone she loves, and I'm genuinely happy for her.

Fah: That's good to hear. Tay, New is in his room. I think you should go talk to him.

Tay quietly entered New's room, his footsteps barely audible against the cool marble floor. He spotted New standing on the balcony, gazing out into the moonlit night, lost in his thoughts.

Approaching him cautiously, Tay took a deep breath, summoning the courage to express what had been weighing on his heart for so long. As he drew closer, he could feel the tension in the air, a palpable anticipation tinged with uncertainty.

Gently, Tay wrapped his arms around New from behind, his touch tender yet firm, enveloping him in a comforting embrace. New started at the sudden contact, his body tensing instinctively, but Tay held him close, refusing to let go.

"Ta-Tay?" New stammered, his voice barely a whisper, his heart racing with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

Tay: Don't move, New. Just listen to me.

New freezes, but relaxes slightly, allowing Tay to continue.

Tay: New, these past few days have been... challenging. I've realized something during this time, something I've been struggling to admit to myself.

Tay takes a deep breath, his heart pounding with nervousness as he prepares to bare his soul to New.

Tay: I've come to realize that... I care for you deeply, more deeply than I ever thought possible. And... I think I may have fallen in love with you, New.

New turns around slowly, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief, but Tay continues, his voice trembling with emotion.

Tay: I know this may come as a surprise, and I understand if you don't feel the same way. But I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. I needed you to know how I feel, even if it changes everything between us.

Tay waits anxiously for New's response, his heart hanging in the balance as he prays for understanding and acceptance.
