(Written for Rook who lives in my inbox and inspired by the knight Avery post by sacchariferouspoet on Tumblr) Inherent kindness did not exist. Not as far as Derek was concerned. As the crown prince of the Empire of Quelen, people were never kind to him unless they wanted something. People were either sycophantic damn near to the point of insulting, or as rude as possible while leaving room for plausible deniability. They hated or loved him for the crown, he was not a living being as far as they were concerned. That is what he believed until Avery waltzed right into his life and sat down and refused to leave, not that he wanted him to leave. Why would he want the only one to make the world seem bearable leave?

I love Azuretime y'all so tell me if you have any request i'll try my best

Not sure how well this will do due to there being no Doomclock centered fanfics, but i felt like there had to be one eventually. :D (may contain: gayness, glazing, yaoi, fluff, angst, and body insecurity) not sure who made the cover, but its not mine. And please, if you know who made it, let me know so i can credit them. ;)
