Josh shifted in his seat on Tyler's private plane. It was very weird having a boyfriend who owns a private plane and not knowing where he got the money for it.

Tyler rested his elbows on the table that separated him from Josh.

"Elbows off the table" Taylor walked by, not letting go of his British accent.

Tyler laughed and smacked him on the arm.

Taylor laughed softly before throwing himself onto a three-person seat and cuddling himself into his black hoodie.

Tyler sighed, returning his focus on Josh who looked rather nervous. He knew Josh's nervousness came from the lack of knowledge, but a part of him felt like an explanation would only make Josh feel worse.

But he understood how hard this must be for Josh. He was surprised Josh decided to stay with him even though he remained a mystery, but that only proved Josh's love for Tyler.

The time came. Josh needed to know before they land.

"I'll try to explain everything to you" Tyler assured in a serious tone.

"I'm all ears" Josh blinked. This came a little bit unexpected, but he was so excited to finally know.

Tyler inhaled shakily "My brothers and I, we are" - he gulped - "Princes"

Josh's eyes popped "You're what?!"

Tyler's voice was small, almost scared "Princes. We're Princes. Our parents are King and Queen"

"Of what?!" Josh frowned, disbelief in his eyes.

"Erm..." Tyler pulled the hem of his shirt; he was really starting to sweat. That look in Josh's eyes was terrifying him.

Taylor snorted "Good luck explaining that"

Tyler didn't even want to react to that.

Josh waited, eyes wide and impatient.

"We're, uh, we're- Our father is- He's th- the King of the World" Tyler somehow managed to choke out.

Josh honestly started laughing and Taylor did too; for a different reason of course.

Tyler just felt really bad. He knew that who he was would always get in the way of his happiness. Not only will Josh not believe him, but Josh might leave him. And Tyler really, really loved Josh.

"You're kidding me, right?" Josh laughed.

"No, I'm not" Tyler mumbled sadly.

"Are you actually expecting me to believe that?" Josh still laughed. He felt... betrayed? But it just seemed like a dumb joke.

"It's the truth" Tyler said seriously.

Taylor felt bad for what his brother was going through. Maybe he can try to prove Tyler's words to Josh...

Taylor stood up and walked off discretely.

"You can't expect me to believe that, Tyler" Josh laughed.

Tyler couldn't look into his eyes.

"C'mon now" Josh grabbed shook Tyler's joined hands, laughing "Tell me the truth"

Tyler's head shot up rapidly "But that is the truth! We're headed to the castle right now!"

Josh just laughed.

Then, Taylor walked back to them. With an outfit change. Josh's jaw dropped at the sight.

Taylor was wearing what royals wore; Josh's seen outfits like this far too many times on TV. The fine and tight black suit slash uniform with medals on the left side of his chest, golden buttons holding the suit tightly together, the fancy golden shoulder pads with golden chains and a floor-touching, white cape. On his head, a silver crown with three diamonds.
