Can't Help Falling In Love and Hellfire are about the same thing but in different point of views, in this essay I will-)

Wise men say only fools rush in

Julian holds your hand, keeping your fingers by his lips. He stands above you for a long minute, either praying or wishing you luck. You don't know which one you'd rather prefer. You rest in his hands and try to savor the moment into your mind. You're too distracted.

Your life is always a game of why him? Julian is another player of this game, asking you the question every day you walk into his study. 

You tell Julian everything so you didn't hesitate to tell you the little thing you've been having with Maven Calore. Julian doesn't trust him, you can tell. But you are sure he just doesn't know him.

You don't know why your heart suddenly collapsed in front of the wrong Calore brother, but you've just been waiting for him to pick it up.

But I can't help falling in love with you

He was the most beautiful yet helpless creature you had ever met. You wish you could have won the title as the bride for him, not his brother.

Maven's beautiful smile clouds your vision as you look up at him, your professional stone face mismatching his innocent gaze. 

"Good evening," you greet. He nods, his black locks falling into his face. You feel the undying need to brush them off. But you look away, the stress of your social appearance standing in the way of your heart. You can feel his presence even when you weren't facing him. His warmth was peculiar, it was his own little thing. Nothing like his brother's threatening heat. It's better.

Shall I stay?

"Stop," you whisper to Maven as he slips his hand onto your own. There is nobody around, no cameras and no evil mothers. All it is is you two and yet you still feel the dreadful gaze of the public eye. 

Goosebumps rush to your skin as his warmth disappears, leaving you with the wind of the deserted castle. You regrettably met his eyes, feeling guilty once you take notice of the pain in them.

"He doesn't care." Maven argues, almost pleading.

"But it still feels wrong." You try to convince yourself. 

It's such a horrible thing. An act of pure betrayal, if you and Cal truly loved each other. But if it's so bad, why don't you seem to care as much as you pretend to?

Would it be a sin

You see Maven's hesitation, and you feel the pulsating sensation of desire as you look into his blue eyes. 

You grab his face, pulling him into a sexual kiss as you force his body against yours. It feels like the first time you've ever been with him. You enjoy it more than you'd hope. 

He wraps his hands around you, his fingers pressing into the skin of your waist. You can feel the familiar tingling of his touch trailing throughout your body. 

If I can't help falling in love with you?

"I love you anyways," he whispers into your ear. You close your eyes, placing your chin on his shoulder. The silence of the castle took over your embrace as you both quieted down. He began to sway, crooning softly into your ear. 

"I love you too," you say peacefully, your voice coming out as a simple hum. Both of your faces flush a silver-tone as you bask in the situation. You both feel innocent, like the world filled with war and genocide isn't caving in on you. 

"I'll keep you safe." He says, his voice below the normal octave. His hand travels to your hair, almost holding you captive in his arms. He repeats his previous words in a low mutter. You sigh, opening your eyes before your eyelashes tingle the skin of his neck. 

Take my hand, take my whole life too

"I have to go now." You pull back from him, loosening his grasp as you slip away. The muscles of his skull twitch as you turn around, not wanting to lose your time suspiciously. 

"Talk to you tonight," he calls out as he watches you walk away. He grinds his teeth, noting how you don't turn back. You already walk like a queen - your head high and your shoulders squared. Deep down, for some reason, it makes him sick.

All he wants is you. You are the star of his life, and he'll do anything to get you into his arms. When his mother told him of the plan for him to get on the throne, he was iffy about it. But now, now that Cal took you away from him, he wants nothing but for his brother to suffer. He wants nothing but for you to be trapped by his side for the rest of his life.

For I can't help falling in love with you
