Once the ceremony had ceased, the night had arrived and so Alfred, along with Arthur were guided to their new royal chambers. The king's quarters. The maid guiding them swiftly opened the door before she bowed and made a quick exit once the two had entered their new room. It was a lot larger than both of their previous rooms combined. Alfred smirked in pride and Arthur was looking around in disbelief at the beauty. The room was shrouded in beautiful shades of blue, purple, silver and gold, the royal bedsheets being a beautiful royal blue themselves with white, fluffy pillows and white transparent curtains on the frame and draping around the bed gracefully.
It also seemed like the maids and butlers had already transferred their belongings during the ceremony so everything they owned was already placed neatly in the room.
Alfred, after a couple of minutes of inspecting the room, headed to the walk in wardrobe and noticed that the king's clothes were on one side and the Queen's on the other. He grinned and and rummaged around before finding himself his nightwear, pulling it out. "Hey dude! I'm gonna go get changed in the bathroom, you can get changed in here or even the wardrobe if you want, it has a mirror" Alfred told Arthur, wanting the other to feel comfortable as he expected him to be nervous. Afterwards, he simply headed off, going to the bathroom.
"Ah alright, thank you" Arthur responded, seeming to snap out of his trance and watching the other walk off. Afterwards, he headed to the wardrobe himself and looked for his nightwear. Once he found what he had been given, he picked it up, blinking a couple of times "Eh? This is...it?" He asked in disbelief.
Alfred soon returned from the bathroom wearing white pyjamas as he jumped onto the silk bedsheets and grinned as he got comfortable. Though he had noticed Arthur hadn't gotten ready yet, thankful the other had chosen to change in the wardrobe so he didn't walk in on him. He remained relaxed for quite some tile before hearing the wardrobe door open and looking up. He seemed to pause as he did, his face hearing up almost instantly as he stared at his Queen. The other Male was wearing a small white nightgown, one that showed off his slender looking legs and small build. Around his arms and shoulders was a royal purple silk robe. One that made the whole appearance seem rather...seductive.
"D - Dude?" Alfred breathes out after a couple of seconds.
Arthur was certainly embarrassed, his face bright red and he averted his eyes in a shy kind of way. "T - This is supposed to be my nightwear..." he mumbled but it was loud enough for the other to hear "I mean - it is our wedding night so I understand why they chose it for me..." he then said as he stepped forward "people do it for the first time on their wedding night, right?" He questioned and he honestly expected that Alfred would take advantage of this entire situation, especially as the other stood up and walked over to him. His heart rate increased as he began to feel nervous.
"Arthur...I have a feeling you're not quite comfortable to do so. Don't worry, I can wait. Your pride and safety matters more to me than desire" Alfred simply responded, raising his hand to gently stroke the other's arm encouragingly, despite it being covered by the silk robe. "Plus, we only just had our first kiss this morning and honestly, I wouldn't mind just being shrouded in kisses for our wedding night instead" he teased as he let out a soft chuckle. "Say, how about you change into something more comfortable dude?" He asked him afterwards, taking a respectful step back. "Meanwhile I need to go to the bathroom alright? We can cuddle and relax afterwards if you're comfortable with it!" He then encouraged kindly. "I promise!" He added. With that statement, he turned to head to the on-suite bathroom and Arthur couldn't help the smile rise to his face, turning to go back to the wardrobe himself and try and find more comfortable nightwear.
In honesty, Arthur preferred this outcome, it showed that Alfred wasn't some narcissistic jerk and was instead, compassionate and caring. That mattered to him a lot. With a satisfied sigh, he searched for some normal pyjamas and found some very light blue ones, putting them on before checking himself out in the mirror. He fumbled with his hair for a while before smiling at himself in the mirror and heading back out where he found the other male laying on the bed casually. Alfred patted the spot beside him for Arthur and he casually crawled into bed, finding his spot beside the taller blond male and cuddling up to him contently. He received a soft kiss to his forehead once the two were relaxed and felt security and safety in being held by Alfred. By having his arms encase him so softly.
"Thank you, Alfred" he mumbled after a couple of seconds of silent embraces. He honestly really appreciated the other's actions earlier. He admired the other so much more as well. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad in the end. It was obvious Alfred didn't want him because of desire anywho. He wanted him due to love.
"No problem, Artie. It's the least I can do for you"
