As he laid by the seashore and morning had made its initial arrival , Vegas was slowly getting out of his beautiful dreams. He opened his squinty eyes and saw an angelic visual of Pete who was propped up over him and  smiling brightly looking at his face. Vegas felt tickles and then realized Pete was exercising some art on him.

"What are you doing Pete?" he asked in his morning voice.

"Trying to see how you would look in your old age." Pete said while he concentrated a lot on making a  beard, mustache and brows on Vegas's face using the sand. Vegas chuckled at this playfulness of Pete. From sleepless nights to these calming mornings Pete had turned his world into a fairyland. Vegas, who was quite an odd person to even think about fairyland, was now enjoying every day of it.

"And how do I look?"

"Just a little bit of work is left then I can tell you." Vegas could feel his heart thumping out on how cute Pete looked in his seriousness for this artwork. His tongue stuck out pressed between his lips while eyes showed utmost dedication for turning Vegas old. Vegas could spend hours just adoring his prince. He knew Pete would be sulking if he disturbed him but he really wanted to see the sulking prince.

"I would also like to see how you look when you are old." Vegas said while taking a handful of sand and grabbing Pete from his waist.

"No, your majesty. Please, it tickles." Pete said laughing but at the same time struggling as his majesty wrapped him in his loving hold and his hands started making their way towards Pete's face that shimmered with light rays of sun.

"Your majesty...."

"Shhhh '' Vegas interrupted Pete by leaning down on him making Pete pause on his breath. Pete went quiet, obeying this sweet command from his husband. Vegas's hand on Pete's waist slid further to draw him in a tender clasp while he smoothly cradled him with deep affection. Pete looked him in the eyes and he smiled as he could see how warm was this safe haven that had him preserved in them. Pete stopped struggling and closed his eyes feeling the soft caressing of sand grains as Vegas scrubbed it gently on his face making his toes curl with the friction.

"So unfair" Vegas whispered looking at Pete but still rubbing his thumb on Pete's cheek lathered with sand.

"What?" Pete asked, opening his mellow eyes and secretly admiring the sharp contours of Vegas's angular face. The jawline that perfectly enhanced his handsomeness, the lips that looked like they were meant to own Pete and his eyes that were beholding Pete resolutely.

"You look ethereal even when you are  old. I will really have to work on myself. There is no match."

"Stop it. So many lies." a flicker of flattery washed over Pete's face.

"Hmm? What makes you think I am lying? You don't believe me?"

"No"

Vegas leaned in close. " Look yourself in my eyes and if your heart skips a beat at that breathtaking beauty reflected in them, then you'll know the bounds my heart leaps every time it's struck by your unwavering glow"

Pete was speechless. He didn't know how to respond. Vegas's words always entered his heart like a drop of water on the dried branches of a thirsty lung. Every Time he felt more alive and every word seemed like it was spoken for the first time. Pete's hold on his majesty's biceps grew tight. Their skins comforted in each other's warmth.
