I loved you in secret - walter x henry (young royals)

What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?

Walter

"You know, sometimes I wonder what if something that happened to Wille and Simon happens to us as well." Henry was laying on my chest in our bed while I was drawing circles on his head.

"It won't." I assured him immediately.

"But you don't know that." His fingers brushed over my other arms up to my fingers.

"I don't." I intertwined our fingers, "But I won't let anything come between us. And I won't let anyone hurt you."

"But what if something comes between us? What if it's getting too much?" His voice was shaky at his words.

"It won't." I pulled his hair out of his face, "As long as it's the two of us, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. We are what matters. Not anyone's opinion."

I squeezed his hand, assuring that I meant my words, "And besides, I don't think we are that important to the press that they would make a big thing about it."

That made Henry chuckle. And his chuckling against my chest made me smile as well. With my head I leaned forward a bit, pressing a kiss on his hair.

"I'm just so scared to lose you. You are absolutely everything to me and I don't know what I would do without you."

"You won't lose me." I gently stroked my thumb over his palm while I entangled my fingers in his hair with my other hand, "You somehow made me yours and now you're stuck with me for a while. And I mean this."

He turned his around, propping his head up on my chest, "Good to know." He put one of his hands on my cheek, brushing some strands of hair out of my face, "Because I didn't want to let you go soon either."

"Perfect." I smiled up at him.

"Yeah." He kept on brushing hair out of my face and over his cheeks. Then he leaned in closer, connecting our lips. I leaned my face slightly up, to be able to kiss him more deeply. I put both my hands on each side of his cheek to pull him even closer to me. Henry had one hand in my hair and the other one held firmly onto the side of my waist.

I let my hands sneak up into Henry's hair, feeling the softness of it against my skin. My fingers entangled with strands of his hair short time before I let them slide down slowly over his neck, over his spine and down to his waist. His warm body shifted on mine, fingers gripping more firmly onto my hair.

Henry then slid his fingers out of my hair again and onto my cheek, stroking over it gently with his thumb and letting his other hand glide down to the hem of my shirt, slipping one of his fingers under it carefully.

"Okay?" He broke the kiss for a second, asking for reassurance.

"Yeah" I nodded breathlessly, pulling him in for another kiss.

His warm fingers felt electrifying on my skin. Every time he brushed his fingers up and down on hips, it felt like a new fire spark was sent through my body.

His fingers slowly wandered over my hips to my waist, caressing my skin everywhere.

"Wait" I broke the kiss for a moment, sitting up a bit and sliding my hand from his back to his arm but I never let go of Henry, making sure he knows I'm here for him.

"What's up?" He looked at me a bit unsure.

"I just-" I started, then pulled off my shirt. I seemingly didn't need to finish my sentence for Henry to understand what I meant, taking off his shirt as well.

Then I took his face with both of my hands and pulled him into another deep kiss. Henry hovered over me, his hands next to each side of my face. My fingers slid up into his hair slowly, holding him firmly.
