Lelo stood quickly, hearing the window creaking. Heart quickening, he glanced around his chambers. The walls were a faint light, yet dull fern green, even if it is a bit faded by now. His bed was his reprise from the world.. most days. The fur blankets and velvet pillows kept him warm year round, no matter how cold it got in Marici. There. Between his silky soft green curtains.. Here he was.. The Prince of Coloria.. here like every possible night he could risk. Lelo slowly stepped over to the glass, signaling for the other one to move back before pushing it open.

“ Lelo-! My friend, I’m for my lateness. Father was holding court late last night, and I fell asleep. “ Alexander chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. He was clearly sorry, shown by his expression. Alexander’s beautiful (midday) blue eyes were fixed on him.. That alone the other prince (Lelo) was not worthy of.

“ No worries Alex. It is not a big deal. I’m just glad you are here. “ Lelo couldn’t help the smile that filled his face as he pat him on the head. Alexander blinked silently before chuckling.

“ Heh- stop it~ “ The other prince grinned, not meaning a word he said. “ It is my job to pat you, child. “

“ Hey-! I’m not a child- and you know it-! “ Lelo pouted gently.

“ Really? You’re short enough to be one~ “

“ I’m not short! You’re just tall. “

“ Same difference. “ Alex grinned, draping an arm over the window sill- of which he just crawled over. A soft thump or two filled the scilence before Lelo could, a small box had fallen out of Alex’s pocket.

“ Ah- “ Alex reached down to pick it up. Yet Lelo, the shorter of the two, got to it first.

“ What is this- “ Lelo turned it in his small hands.

“ Hey-!! Give that back- “ Alex reached out for it- but not before Lelo opened the box. A small silver band, embroidered with precious stones- Jades, Emerald- and some other green gem the other prince forgot the name of; they all could be seen on the outer edges of the ring.. It was clear Alex wanted to propose to someone.. but why would he bring the ring here-? Unless..

“ I-I promise- it isn’t- “

“ Oh but I think it is.. “ A soft smile formed on the Marician’s face as he drew nearer to the flustered Colorian. As lips met lips, Alex’s eye widened, before slowly shutting. After the kiss drew to a close, the taller one’s voice finally worked.

“ Is that a- “

“ Well, it isn’t a no. “ Lelo chuckled, wrapping his arms around the taller one’s neck.

“ I- I love you.. “

“ Love you too, my colorful prince “

“ Hey-! “

“ What~ is it not hilarious that your kingdom’s name literally means full of color? “

“ Your’s means goddess of light or something- “

Lelo scoffed, “ How Ironic.. “

“ Yeah- Say.. Father would love to have you over for dinner- if you want-? “

“ You- sure-?? I mean- your father and mine hate each other- “

“ Doesn’t mean he will hate you. He loves almost everything. And everyone at that- “

“ I.. suppose I could join you.. “

“ Good “ Alex grinned before adding, “ Not like I was going to let you say no anyways. “

“ Then why- “

“ Because why not “ Alex chuckled, shrugging. Lelo smiled as well, placing a kiss to his cheek.

“ Oh how sweet of you~ “ The one in green grinned, placing the ring on his own finger.

“ How sweet indeed “ Alex’s hands went to his waist, laughing before pressing their lips together.
