Trigger Warning: Homphobia and Abuse
Prince John Laurens slipped into his bedroom after sneaking out to meet with his father's enemy, King Alexander, he ruled Endosia while John was the prince of Locasia, two bitter rivals of kingdoms. It was an accident, John got lost in the forest and bumped into Alexander who was hunting. Alex told him the look of fear on John's face when he saw Alex's fun was what prompted empathy into Alex who knew he had to help John until eventually, they fell into a routine of meeting almost every night even though it was so very risky and such relationships were banned in Locasia though Alexander had legalized it in Endosia and John planned to do the same for his own kingdom when he took over.
"Jack," He looked up as the name his family used for him was said and tilted his head at his father in a silent question, "Where have you been? You've been sneaking out an awful lot lately." King Henry said.
John thought he was being sneaky but it appeared he couldn't have been more wrong and he shrugged, "Just...out?" He said it like a question and not convincingly at all.
"Jack, what've you been up to?" Henry asked as his eyes narrowed, "Out of respect I didn't have men follow you but..." He snapped and John felt dread as his brother stepped into the room, his father's namesake, "Junior did."
John's brother stared at him in what John figured out in seconds was disgust,
"He's a fag." Henry spat and John took a step back as his father took on a look of surprise, "He butt fucks the King of Endosia."
"That's an outlandish allegation!" John cried as he tried to retain his position as crown prince and the eldest child, "It might dance on treason to make such insinuative gossip in what could be considered a court setting with no evidence." He narrowed his eyes at his brother who narrowed his own.
"But I have evidence," Henry Jr. replies evenly making John's breath hitch momentarily but he quickly stifled his panic to not show any outward emotion so he wouldn't incriminate himself accidentally. A man walked in and presented letters John had been waiting to mail to Alex when the outward going mail stopped being checked for suspected spy work
Instantly John turned to run but two soldiers held their spears in a cross to stop him, "Move your weapons, how dare you." John growled as his anger grew from everything happening.
"You're no longer the prince," His father said and he turned around, "You are no son of mine." John's breath caught in his throat in fear and he tried to take a step back with each step Henry took forward until the two guards behind him pushed him forward. He barely saw the fist until he was on the ground, being pummeled by his father and brother.
Pain, it hurt more than he expected. He still loved his brother and father, his family was important to him. He cried as he felt them impact him over and over, he felt and heard cracks and his eye still throbbed. At some point he coughed up liquid, he knew it was blood, and soon he had blacked out.
John woke up and looked around carefully a forest? He got up and held his arm knowing it was broken as he stumbled on an either broken or sprained ankle. He found the clearing he and Alex meet at before he collapsed again, he had thought he had internal bleeding but he couldn't do anything about it right now.
When he woke up again he felt himself being shaken but it just caused him to scream in pain again and the person stopped shaking him, through his tears, he saw Alex with a look of pure concern and he let himself fade into the dark again knowing he was safe finally.
Finally, John came to inside an elegant room inside what he guessed was a castle. It took a few moments for him to piece together what had happened in detail but when he finally understood he shakily called for Alex, sighing in relief when his lover appeared.
"John oh my God are you okay? What happened? Who did this to you? I'll fucking kill them." he growled out and hurried over, hugging John as gently as he could and John leaned into him, "The doctor said he fixed you as best he could."
John nodded, "I feel better than I did earlier..." He said and clung onto Alex, "My brother, Henry Jr, he followed me to our meeting spot and he-he had somebody go through my room and they told my father and I got banished and they just kept hitting me they just-" He started crying and then took an intake of breath, "Fuck my eye." He then noticed his vision was slightly blurry so he closed his good eye and gasped, "My vision it-it's all fucked!" He cried.
"I'm so sorry," Alex breathed out when he realized the beating had sort of handicapped John in his sight, "I'll go to war with them for you, a war has been boiling for awhile anyway and my country is ready." He said and held John's face, noticing John's pupil looked like it was breaking into his iris which probably was the reason for his vision, "I can't believe they did this to you." He said as he struggled not to get angry.
John shook his head, "Nobody needs to die for me," He said quietly and put his hand over one of Alex's and kissed his palm, "I don't have anywhere to go, Alex, I'm scared." He admitted.
Alex didn't need to think twice before kneeling at the side of John's bed, "Then marry me." He said, "Marry me and be my King, the King of Endosia." He said.
John widened his eyes exponentially, "Are you-Are you being serious?!" He asked and put his hands over his mouth, Alex nodded with a determined glint in his eyes and John teared up, "Of course I'll marry you, dork." He said and opened his arms for Alex to hug him as he could barely move.
Alex got up and hugged him very gently, "I love you." He said and before John could return the phrase he felt lips on his own and melted into the kiss with Alex, his fiance, the King of Endosia.
