A Tale of Two Twins(boyxboy)

Chapter Eight-Betrothal

Chapter Eight  

Betrothal

Three weeks have passed since my over use of spells. I look down at the lake below the palace on the west side and see Vulcus and Dominic holding each other and making out. I chuckle to myself as I turn my gaze towards the sky longing to see mother and father again. Only two years have passed since I saw them last but I feel like it's been ten years. I hear my door open and glance over to see Prince Duncun coming over to me. Three weeks and the four princes have gotten me to like them as family, well except Gabriel. I am positive he's trying to court me or something. Every time I turn around he's got servants bringing me flowers or small gifts. It's quite touching really but honestly I just want him to drag me close and kiss me.  

"Damian, Mother and Father want to see you. They won't tell me why just told me to come and get you." I give him a 'What?' look and follow him out of my room and down to the study. Duncun knocks on the door and at the King's 'What!' Duncun opens the door a crack and sticks his head in. "Father, do you really have to be so vicious all the time?" I hear the King chuckle before Duncun steps back and opens the door a bit more so I can enter.  

"You wanted to see me Your Majesties?" I bow my head to the King and Queen as they look up at me. "Oh good you came. Duncun now go get Gabriel." He looks at his mother with a question on his face and she just shoos him off. "Now then Damian tell me, why have you been so sad lately?" I sigh and walk over to the window and look out towards home. "I long to see my own parents. Though it has only been two years to me it feels more like ten."  

I turn away from the window and look back at the Queen as she thinks. The King come to my side and places a hand on my shoulder. "If its your parent you yearn for then I'll have an escort go and bring them here." I look at him and he chuckles at the sheer joy shining in my eyes. "I would love to see them again. I hate to admit it but I miss my mother's fussing over me when she's trying to comb my hair. I miss her hugs and most of all I miss her smile."  

As I am telling the King how much I miss my parents Duncun returns with Gabriel and Gabriel walks over and sits by his mother before she shoos Duncun out again saying to go do something. "That's it!" The Queen's sudden shout a few minutes later gains our attentions. "What's it love?" the King goes over to sit on the other side of his wife and wraps an arm around her waist. I get a feeling that this is gonna be one of my wishes being granted. The Queen grins and her gaze shifts from me to Gabriel. "I have the perfect solution." The King laughs, "Solution to what?" She chuckles and turns to kiss her husband before saying the words that make my day seem perfect. "Why the solution to Gabriel's constant whining about being ignored." She pauses to look at him and me then back to her husband. "We are going to hold a wedding ceremony two nights after Damian's parents arrive." I feel myself smiling with glee as she continues, "That wedding will show the kingdom that who gives a fuck about who a man's lover is. Gabriel and Damian, I know you are dying to be together so that wedding will make it happen in reality and in the eyes of all you two will be married officially."  

I couldn't help the blush that joins my smile as I look at Gabriel and see his sheer joy at this betrothal. "Mother you are awesome!" Gabriel sas and hugs her before dragging me into his embrace and kissing me thoroughly. 'YES!!!!!!!!' I cheer mentally doing a happy dance which gets laughs from Dom and Vulcus. 'What has you so cheerful Damie?' Dom asks me and I say, 'The King's having our parents brought here and two nights after they get here...' I pause again doing another mental happy dance. '...the Queen is gonna make all know that a man can have a male lover if its love in the purest form by having me and Gabriel marry.' I feel Dom's mental happy dance as well and Vulcus cheering two.  

I pull away from Gabriel and say, "Hell why not make it a double wedding. Dom and Vulcus still haven't said 'I do' yet." The Queen claps and giggles, "Perfect idea we'll make it a double wedding." The King laughs and shakes his head. "Looks like we have two dragons in the family now." I gaze into Gabriel's gray eyes and ask him. "So when did you admit you were head over heels for me? Because I remember Dom telling me you flat out said you'd never love me because of my ego." Gabriel blushes and it is soo cute I just have to kiss him again. "Well I said that before I ever got to see you." I chuckle and lean my head against his chest. "Well I guess I do have a small ego I mean I am the only magic user that can summon elemental beasts to do what needs to be done." I admit and receive a kiss on my neck.  

The King opens the study door and calls out an order, "Philip, take a hand full of knights and go to Dominic's home and retrieve his parents and cat then escort them back here!" I hear a grunt as Philip hits the ground after being yelled at so suddenly he fell off the ladder he was on. "*laughs* I'll go as soon as I get off my ass Father." I hear the King chuckle as he walks back to the sofa and sits by his wife again.
