Arthur sighed, glad to be away from the moaning closet mess. He looked up and was instantly breathless. The ceiling was a crystal clear glass, showing the beautiful night sky. Each single star was distinctive and bright. The stars and full moon were the only faint light in the beautiful room.

There was a low, large bed-like couch near the edge where the entire curved wall was glass, showing all the beauty. The walls were draped with beautiful blue tapestry and silver. Every little detail was perfect and beautiful. Arthur couldn't believe his eyes.

Alfred smiled "Do you like it?" He asked while moving to the couch bed and sitting on it. Arthur felt on the verge of tears "Y-yes... it's beautiful!" He said while walking after Alfred and joining him on the couch. It was plush and soft, sinking slightly to feel even more comfortable.

"Thanks... I actually made this place with my father... no one but spade royalty has been in here." He stated while laying on his back and putting his hands behind his head. Arthur laid down next to him, staring at the sky. I want to be against him again. He's so perfect, so sweet. "That's... amazing... thank you..."

"You're welcome, my queen." Alfred said while watching the stars. Arthur took his chances and shifted, laying his head on Alfred's chest gently. Alfred's heartbeat sped up, which was quite obvious to Arthur, who pretended not to notice. "Alfred..." "Hm?" "Why did you choose me?" Arthur asked, hoping he wouldn't upset Alfred.

The king smiled as he stared at the stars "There was something about you... something that told me I had to have you..." He moved his right hand and played with Arthur's hair "Your short, blonde hair... your emerald green eyes... your distinctive eyebrows. When you looked at me, you were so confused... so humble."

Arthur felt his face heating up drastically. "We just met... but... we have the rest of our lives to get to know each other..." Alfred said before propping his head up with his arm so he could look at Arthur "And I don't want to waist a minute of it..."

Time seemed to slow as Arthur shifted and looked into those bright blue eyes. Something seemed so sincere about them. He could feel his heart speeding up as the king leaned close and closed his eyes. Arthur watched with wide eyes as the space between them shrank to an inch. Building up some courage, Arthur closed his eyes and leaned in, feeling soft lips press against his own.

Alfred pulled him closer and kissed him passionately. Arthur felt heat flow from his lips through his body, numbing everything. Arthur had never been kissed like this before- he had never felt this before. He felt the soft lips leave his own and a strong hand cup his cheek.

Opening his eyes slowly, Arthur stared into Alfred's big, blue eyes. Heat seemed to flow from wherever Alfred touched him. "Wow..." Alfred murmured with a goofy, lovesick smile "That was... wow..." Arthur smiled, his face a bright red "Y-yeah... it was huh?" He asked before they leaned in and pressed their lips together again.

Heat flowed through Arthur again and images swam in his head. He didn't need the rest of his life, he already loved this stranger. He wanted him... more than that... he wanted to stay with him. "I love you..."  They said at the same time, staring into each other's eyes.

It may have only been a little over 24 hours, but they felt it... a passionate bond. Arthur spoke first "I don't need the rest of our lives to know that I love you... it's-" "Love at first sight?" Arthur asked. "No..." The future queen murmured "More than that... it's... I don't know... it's something special... I just... I'd rather die tomorrow... than to have never met you..." Arthur stated while trying to comprehend himself.

Alfred smiled "That won't happen... I protect you... no matter what... I promise you'll always be safe with me... no one will ever hurt you..." He said before pulling Arthur closer and cuddling into him. The two of them tangled together under the stars, enjoying every second possible.
