✨(Mature):Nick n Charlie's One Shot Stories✨

♥️Objective⚔️Hearts 👑: (Bonus) (Part 3)

Nicholas Pov.

I screamed, holding him into my arms, his blood on my suit, I carried him as carefully as I could into the castle, running.
Not caring or concerned with anything else.
The doctor that we had living near by incase of emergencies like this, had rushed over just because of the Gun shots.
I laid Charles down as they rushed me out of the room, so they could do surgery.

I sat in the grand hall, sobbing into my hands.
Mother came to comfort me, sitting next to me slowly as she pulled me in her arms to comfort.
"Kings don't cry..." i said softly , crying anyway.

"Oh, but they do dear.. they do. And you're still a prince " she said.
I cried,
"I love him" I said unable to look at her.

She rubbed my back,
"I know..I know"

I paced back and forth all night, until they finally let me into the room early in the morning, the sun hadn't even rose yet.
He laid there shirtless , his shoulder bandaged up , the doctor had told me he'd been shot twice, and was extremely lucky to be alive. If it had been any other place , he wouldn't have lived."

I cried sitting next to his bed, holding his hand , leaning my face into it.
He had slept soundly, slowly opening his eyes as he peered over at me.

"Nicholas.." i heard him whisper
I looked up ,
"Charles, oh my god.. how could you " I cried holding onto him. He coughed, leaning his head into my neck gently, too weak to lift his arms.

"How could I not..." he breathed out.

I cried pulling back, so I could face him, my hands on his face.
"Why did you do that.. you should've just stayed away. You could have died Charles, the doctor said you were shot twice. TWICE"

He smiled softly.
"I had to..they were..coming for you..then the queen.. then king..they wanted to..over throw kingdom. .i couldnt let them hurt you.." he breathed
"You..you voluntarily sacrificed yourself for me? For us?" I said.

".. lay here ..with me.. please". He breathed , tears in his eyes, obviously in pain. I nodded shutting up , deciding that scolding him was the last thing he needed right now.
I took my suit coat off, so I was in my under top garment and pants, as I laid down next to him, he gently moved just enough so he was laying on my chest.
"I'm so sorry" I whispered, putting my hand over his that he had gently resting on my torso.
But he didn't hear me, as he fell back asleep.
I cried quietly as I held onto him.
My mind racing with what to do next.
He really did love me. 

My mother knocked gently on the door, before peeking to come in.
She closed the door behind her.

"How is he?" She asked looking at him sadly.
I sniffled wiping my face.

"He's in pain, exhausted. .
The Doctor said he was shot twice. He's lucky to be alive"
I said quietly.

She came over to my side, putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Mother.... He saved me, I dont know how he knew to come in at the right time but, it could've been me. He literally sacrificed himself for me.. for the castle. He said he knew they were planning to hurt me, then you and then father, in order to overthrow the kingdom..he's a hero. We owe him so much ." I said, looking down at his messy curls.

She nodded slowly
"We are grateful for him..eternally. .But that doesn't stop the wedding.. dear, you still need to get married Nicholas." she said regrettably.
I shook my head.
"No. No I absolutely Refuse."

She looked at the door.
"It might not be right now, but soon. Your father isn't too far off.. you need to talk to him"

She turned to leave
I stared at the door.
"It has to be him. If it's not him then I will refuse to reign as king. "
