The Haunted ships and one-shots!

Emperor x Collin part 2

Third person point of view-

Alduin walked up the hill, as he had everyday for the past few years to meet with his lover. Now teenagers, Alduin had a small ponytail, pulled back by a golden rubber band, with thin scruff of his chin. As did Collin with scruff on his chin, but his hair reminded relatively the same length, only slightly longer.it always filled the prince with joy to see his boyfriend everyday. He always cheered him up, even after what had happened to the Mage...
He turned to the corner of the old oak tree that they had always met underneath since the day they had met. His smile was wide and bright, eager to see his love as soon as possible. His hand was placed against the bark of the tree, pulling him around to face the boy that he knew was sitting there, just as he always had.

"Good afternoon, my angel!"

He stopped when he noticed his partners condition, sitting on the grass with his head against his knees, curled up with his legs against his chest and arms wrapped around them. He listened to the unsettling sound of the boy sobbing into his knees, letting out small gasps and hiccups, his body quivering.

"Collin!" He ran over to his side, getting onto his knees next to him. "Are you okay? What's wrong?"

He did not even lift his head, his broken voice barely audible from the position his mouth was in, but Alduin made out every word. "Alduin, I can't take this thing in my head anymore! I can't...make him stop..."

The royal put his hands on his partner's shoulders, gently ordering him to lift his head to look him in the eyes. The weeping teen lifted up his head, his eyes red with a layer of tears that slipped from beneath his eyelids and ran down his face, dripping from his chin. Overlaid on his blue eyes, was a layer of a glowing, pearly white haze.

It was easy to tell that he was having trouble speaking, but he got his voice out. "I'm starting to regret letting him in. He keeps telling me to hurt people that I don't want to hurt! He...he has interest in you. Bad interest and... I-I'm scared."

Suddenly, Alduin pulled hm not a tight hug. Collin froze up, unprepared for the sudden move. He adjusted to it, digging his face into the prince's shoulder as he weeped once more, his fingers clawing into his mate's back as he returned the embrace.

"It's okay. It's okay. Shhh." Alduin whispered sweet nothings into his ear until he relaxed, his breathing growing more steady and trembling body beginning to relax.

The prince was the first to pull away, only to immediately pull back in to smash his lips against Collin's. The teen being used as a demon's vessel froze up, his boyfriend's lips rough against his own before they soft, allow him to easily sink in and let their lips lock together. They held that kiss, tongues sliding into the others mouth until they had to pull away to breathe. Alduin smiled at his lover as he brushed his fingers against Collin's cheek and combining them through his soft brunette hair.

"As long as you have me, nothing will happen to you! I promise."

His heart nearly skipped a beat when a weak smile returned to his lover's gentle face. "I love, you know that?...You love me too, right?"

"Of course I love you, idiot." He leaned forward, placing his forehead against Collin's head, both closing their eyes. "I wouldn't still be here if I didn't."
...

The sun was beginning to set beyond the empire, casing it fiery colors ablaze across the vast sky. As he walked into the palace, listening to the massive doors shut behind him, Alduin pulled down his hood to gaze upon the unnerving sight of his father marching towards him, fury written on his expression. He could almost see the steam of hate rising from his flaring nostrils, eyes of fire burning into his soul.
Fear spiked in the younger male, his heart skipping a beat from the panic. He took a step back as his father stopped in front of him, his arm lifting with haste and coming down with even more so.
