Samuel said nothing, he couldn't. He instead stared into the endless sea inside the eyes that belonged to the king, every atom in his body wishing this would last forever. To sit like this, in this display of affection, in this moment of happiness.
How many times had he dreamed of this day? How many times had he fantasized about the king's lips against his own? For it to come true, for his dreams to come to life...he could have sworn it was magic. He was a practical man, true, but this...this was something else. Something he liked, something he loved. SomeONE he loved.
He hadn't believed the other male at first, had just thought it wasn't real...but now?
He knew it was true. He could tell by the sparkle in the king's eyes, he could tell by the glimmer of hope and love shining from his face that he truly, deeply, loved him.
