When the Sugar Met the Flame [Leo x Blake] (Sequel to My Sweet Prince)

Chapter 20

Third person

Blake wanted to spend a little more time with Leo. To do that he agreed to walk his vampire friend home. They hadn't exactly discussed what to refer to each other as, but around Leo's parents it would definitely be friends.

The last thing either of them wanted to do was break any rules with their relationship because they were too young. Leo knew that this was going to be risky. His parents had gone through something very similar and he didn't want to have to go through the same thing with Blake.

The two walked through the forest quickly. They didn't want to be still out by the time the sun came up.

"So... We can't call ourselves a couple around your parents because of the rule your dad made... But what about my parents? Could we say we're a couple around them?" Blake asked, being unsure what to label their relationship at the moment.

"Um... Well I suppose we could... Your parents and my parents don't talk very often, so I don't see the risk of that conversation... So yeah, we can do that..." Leo replied, not seeing the harm in it.

The two walked hand in hand until they reached the edge of the kingdom. The vampire sighed softly. He didn't want to leave his partner, but he knew that he had to.

He would give anything to spend the night with Blake. Unfortunately he knew that his parents would never allow that. Not at his age.

The two boys were at the age where they knew what they wanted from a relationship. Not to say that anything troublesome was what they had planned for a night together. But their parents would know that certain things could happen if they spent a night together, especially if they were alone.

Leo hugged his boyfriend, kissing his cheek. Blake's face flushed a light red as a bit of steam came off his face. The two smiled at each other and said their goodbyes softly. Neither of them wanted to leave, but they knew they had to.

Leo walked the rest of the way to the castle and entered quietly. He knew his parents would be up but wouldn't want to risk disturbing them. He preferred to be quiet and return to his room without any discussion of his activities during the night.

As he laid in bed he stared at the ceiling. He already missed Blake and wanted the day to go by quickly. They could spend the day together if Leo brought his umbrella, but the vampire decided to let his boyfriend sleep.

They both knew that their relationship wasn't going to be easy at this point. They would have to keep it a secret from Leo's parents until he turned eighteen. Of course both were willing to do so. They just wanted to be able to be happy with each other. They would do anything to do that.

Leo drifted off to sleep shortly after that. He couldn't wait to see his partner the next night.
