The Prince and The Peasant

3rd person POV

Clay carefully opened his bedroom window, making sure to be quiet incase of alerting his parents and then proceeding to climb down, using the familiar groves in the stone walls to keep himself from falling.

Once he was at a safe distance from the ground he jumped down, knees slightly bending as he hit the earthy floor.

He did a quick pan of the area and once he was sure the coast was clear he dashed across the short field and made his way onto the path that consisted of the fastest route that lead to the village.

He practically ran the entire way there, by the time he had arrived he was hunched over, hands on his knees and panting, the slight sweat on his forehead glistened in the bright light of the waxing gibbous above. Once his breathing returned to a more normal pace and he didn't feel as exhausted, he resumed but this time going a little slower to give his body some mercy.

As he approached the little cottage near the center of town a small smile appeared on his face, sneaking out to see his beloved boyfriend was always the most treasured part of his day.

He let himself in and noticed George was making something in the kitchen, his mood instantly brightening when he noticed the taller boys presence.

"Hello Prince Charming" he teased,

"Oh hush, Peasant" Clay retorted with a small laugh as he went over to George and wrapped his arms around the petite boy, engulfing him in a tight hug.

"But hello to you too I suppose" Clay said faking being annoyed, his voice practically dripping with sarcasm

"I missed you" George said, barely above a mumble.

"I missed you too cutie, I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner, my schedule has been absolutely packed for the past two weeks." Clay said, trying not to sound too disappointed.

"It's ok, I know you don't really have a choice, I'm just happy you're here now" George said with understanding, pulling away from the hug to stand on his tip toes and give Clay a kiss on the cheek.

"I hate my parents so much, they don't even try to sympathize with me, all they want is for me to marry some rotten princess with a ton of popularity, they couldn't care less about how I feel." Clay said, letting out all his built up frustration, tears were pooling in his eyes.

"Yeah...it's terrible, I cant even imagine how you feel, eventually we might not even be able to see each other anymore" George said, his eyes glossed over with pain-filled tears.

"I'm not gonna let that happen, I promise"

Well...that promise was in fact kept...until about 5 months after.

"Clay! Today is the day you're going to be meeting your future queen!! Isn't that exciting dear?" Clays mother spoke, beaming with happiness.

Clay was far from excited, he hasn't been able to leave the palace in about a month because they found out about his habits of sneaking out, thankfully, they never discovered why.

He had a fake smile plastered on his face like some sort of mask, but he had felt a sadness and emptiness quite like this, George was the only thing that kept him sane, but he was being forcefully ripped out of his grasp, and he didn't think he would ever be able to get his hands on him again.

George was the only person who really deserved to be his partner, the only one who deserved to be married into his kingdom.

But it isn't like he could tell his parents that, and it isn't like they would ever even try to understand.

He was crying for help but the only person who would ever hear his pleas was gone.
