A/N sorry for the time skip. I just need things to move a little faster. Please forgive thee?

Unedited

It's been a week already since Calum has been in the castle. He got a call earlier in the week saying his house is going to take a few months to repair. He was annoyed but understood that these things can't be fixed with just a snap of his fingers.

The upside of this all is that he can see Luke. The blonde boy never seems to get out of his head, its like a film playing itself over and over again. And Luke. Luke can't deny the fact that he too is fond of the young Prince. Sure Calum may be 4 years older, but love is but a number right? That's never stopped people before. Today Luke was assigned as Calum's personal servant. Each person in the family has one. Well Mali and Edgar share one and so do the King and Queen. Luke was happy yet frightened. He was happy he would be able to see Calum more, but frightened because this could also mean his feelings for him could grow.

He knows and will not allow his feelings to intensify not even by a millimeter. Calum on the other hand has different plans. He wants Luke to be his. He wants Luke to be the one to sit next to his throne. He wants Luke to be his Queen in a way. But for right now he can just be his princess. Calum knows he's calling way too fast and its scaring him to death. He's ever only felt like this once but that relationship was a complete fail.

He knows that if his parents mere to find out they wouldn't accept it. 1. Because Luke is a servant and 2. Because he's a man, he can't provide Calum a family. Not that he wants one he's just saying. He can't stand the thought of waking up in the early hours just to feed a whiney baby. He can't stand having to change dippers, their tantrums, the teething, everything. He just isn't fond of that lifestyle.

"Calum?" His thoughts were interrupted by his mother knocking on the door. "Come in mum." She walked in and made sure to close and lock the door. "So has your stay been here so far?" Calum thought about it for a bit. Despite the fact that his sister is staying here till the baby is born, meaning he has to deal with Daisy. He's taken quite a liking to his stay. Luke having to be the reason.

"It's been good. Why'd you ask?" She smiled at him. Oh how he knew that smile. "What are you up to mum?" "Calum, I've been talking about it with your father and we've decided to throw you a welcome home party. We know its been a week, but we didn't do it on the day you came because you had so much going on." "Mum as much as I appreciate you doing that, I really don't want a party. It's not necessary, you act as if you didn't know me and you know I'm not fond of parties. I was never a party animal." She just rolled her eyes at her son and continued. "Look, the reason we want to make this party is because we want you to meet your betrothed. You're getting older and we think its about time." "Are you fucking serious!? I don't want a forced marriage! I want to marry some one I love! Not someone you think is right for me and is of high class!"

He thought he made it clear before that this isn't what he wants. He shouldn't have expected much coming from his mum. "Calum we've been moved this! Who knows how long it will take for you to find the one you love. It could be years! I know this doesn't sound appealing at first, but trust me you'll learn to love and care for her. You'll never want to leave her side, always make her happy, give her her dream family."

"NO! I'LL NEVER LEARN YOU CAN SEND ME TO GET BRAIN WASHED AND I STILL WOULDN'T LEARN! WHY? BECAUSE ITS STUPID I TOLD YOU ONCE AND I'LL TELL YOU AGAIN, YOU CANT FORCE LOVE!!" At this point Calum was beyond furious. He will not submit to his mother's wishes. As much as he does care and respect her, he can't do this to himslef.

While Calum finished talking to his mum, Luke on the other hand heard the conversation. Not all of it of course. He walked away and went to his room. He should have known, of course he has a betrothed. He shouldn't be so surprised about it. Why is he even crying? He's so stupid, his heart is stupid for calling for someone he can't and never will have.

"Luke? You in there?" He wiped his eyes and stood up. "Yeah I'll be out in a minute, my pants ripped from the knee." "Oh sweetie give them to me I'll seaw them for you." "N-No thanks May, my mum taught me how to seaw before."

He didn't hear a reply. He stood up and fixed himself up a bit.

"I need to stop falling for you. Because I know you won't be there to catch me when I fall."

So yeah that happened. If you think things are moving to fast I hope you understand that it's supposed to be that way.

Next chapter will be the planning of the party and after that will be the part so expect things to happen.

What do you think is going to happen at the party?
