Chapter Text
Zee's return to Spades continued to be quite a show, firstly because of the fear of entering the palace.
- Come on buddy, you can do it! - Max shouted after him, which made him realize that he had reached the front door thinking that Max was after him, but in reality, he had stayed behind, just outside the car.
- Max! What are you doing there?! - Zee yelled at him.
- I care about my life! At home I have to give my own explanations! But good luck Zee, you can handle this!
Zee sighed in resignation, turned around again and walked inside.
- Do you think it will be okay? - Mark asked, feeling deja vu.
-At worst, the King will stand up and hit him with a board with miraculous strength… But he will be able to handle it. - Max replied amused.
However, things with the King went better than expected.
The King was waiting patiently in his rocking chair, facing the door, waiting for him. So when Zee entered and found that, he felt fear run through his body.
-Dad, remember that you want me to give you grandchildren. - Was the first thing that came out of his mouth when he saw his father look at him harshly.
The King chose to ignore this excuse; he made him kneel at his feet and gave him a long sermon about family honor, and the respect he should have for the one who would become his in-laws, as well as for the person who would become his partner.
Zee was deeply grateful that his father was a sensible and change-oriented man, and not like his ancestors, who resorted to violence, even with his own blood.
His mother came in after the long conversation he had with his father, and that meant that the moment he never thought he would live had arrived: to talk about the next meeting with his partner. Regarding that topic, Zee could see how excited they both looked, who initially asked him if Nunew was not upset about what happened at home.
Having a good prognosis - adding the fact that the call with Mr. Perdpiriyawong flowed peacefully, where they talked about the limits they should establish with their sons and in the end, he told him that he approved of the boys' relationship as long as everything was done with respect -, the King gave the green light to his employees to organize the dinner with Nunew.
The King was so happy that he even gave the scoop to one of the employees who had just come in to deliver them sandwiches.
-Miriam, get ready because soon you will have to prepare dinner for my son's boyfriend and everything has to be exceptional so that he feels welcome in this house.
The girl cradled the tray against her body, not hiding her excitement at the news.
- Of course, my lord! We will see to it that way! - she exclaimed.
Zee felt a little nervous because Nunew was shy. He was happy to see the acceptance of their relationship even though Nunew was not a citizen of Spades, but he also had to tell his father to take things slowly and be discreet so as not to scare him.
After that, I definitely had to go send a message to the omega to tell him the facts.
In addition to communicating with him, Net called him that night to find out how everything was going.
- Hey Zee! How did it go? Did the King make you mop the whole palace with your tongue yet?
-Net… You better shut up. -Zee rubbed his temples upon hearing this. -Everything is fine, my father wants to have dinner with Nu. You didn't say anything about how things happened, did you?
-Of course not, that would make my parents feel ashamed and keep an eye on me.
Zee thought that made a lot of sense, after all, Net harbored less shame in his being.

Thus came the day for Nunew to confront his in-laws.
In this case, Yim had insisted that he and Tutor would take him, and so they did. While they did not enter the palace with him, they did not fail to encourage him all the way to where they were able to park.
As he said goodbye, two Spades Guards immediately appeared to escort him into the palace. During the walk, Nunew noticed that, in fact, further behind them, there were even more soldiers guarding them.
-E-excuse me. -Nunew dared to ask those who were at his sides. - Is this necessary?
-It's part of royal protocol, young Nunew. -One of them replied, still looking straight ahead.
Apparently everyone knew his name and his arrival. Zee had told him that everything would be as discreet as possible, but since his father was very happy, there would also be some “excessive” details.
The Spades Guards took him to the common room of the palace, where they asked him to wait a few moments for the prince.
Nunew sat down in one of the luxurious armchairs that decorated the room. He would never have imagined that the second time he would set foot in that palace would be for a family reunion.
He took out his phone to check his appearance with the help of the front camera; at this point he wanted to be sure that his makeup was in order and his clothes looked good. Although the first impression with Zee's parents was quite casual, he felt this occasion as something more serious, as if it was the real first impression, because he was now going as his partner.
Zee had also told him not to worry about dressing up, as it was going to be a family dinner where only his parents and his sister's family would be there. So, he opted for a pink turtleneck sweater, and simple white pants, as well as white loafers -he definitely wouldn't wear sneakers on such an occasion-.
While checking that his makeup was in order, he heard some murmurs coming from the entrance. Out of curiosity, he looked, and saw that those who were there immediately hid.
-Umm… Hello?
Slowly, two people peeked out again, coming out of hiding. They were two maids, who were wearing a uniform similar to the one he had seen the last time he came, but this one was more formal; like the common uniform, it was also a light blue dress with a white collar, but this one had long sleeves. On the left side of their chest, a spade symbol could be seen with a series of numbers under it, and also a tag with their names. It seemed as if they were preparing for a big event instead of a family dinner.
-Excuse us for bothering you, young Nunew, it was not our intention. - One of them spoke, an omega, who was shorter than her companion.
-Don't worry. -He smiled at them. -Why were you there anyway?
-We were just… curiosity. -The tallest girl, a beta, said.
- Curiosity?
-It's just that the King told us a few days ago that today's big dinner would be to make Prince Zee's boyfriend feel welcome, and we wanted to know if he was the same boy who came with him the day the King became ill. -The omega quickly explained.
-Ohh… Well, yes, it’s me. -He answered timidly.
-That's great. -The omega exclaimed effusively, to Nunew's bewilderment.
-Excuse me, we were afraid that Prince Zee was with someone who would treat us badly. -The beta explained.
-Oh, no, no, I wouldn't do that...
-Nu. -Zee appeared through the door, and Nunew immediately stood up.
Zee was always handsome, but he seemed to be even more handsome this time. The alpha wore a dark blue sweater with a white shirt tucked inside, as well as black dress pants and shoes of the same color. Plus, without fail, on his sweater, on the left side of his chest, he had the symbol of Spades.
-Sorry for the delay, I was finishing up some things... -He explained as he approached, and noticed the girls. -Girls, is something wrong?
-I'm asking them if you bring other omegas here. -Nunew answered for them with the intention of annoying him.
- No, no, no! Of course he doesn't! He's a gentleman! He would never do such a thing! // - Prince Zee has integrity, he doesn't do such things! He covers his eyes when there are omegas present! - Both girls answered in unison, nervous about what the prince might think.
Zee just laughed a little at the situation, and turned to the girls.
-He's just joking around to tease me girls, he's always liked to do that. -He said the last thing looking back at Nunew with a very soft expression.
- Me? Or the one who was chasing me just to piss me off? - Nunew answered with a big revelation, followed by a touch to Zee's chest.
The girls looked at each other, realizing it would be best to leave them alone.
- We have to go back to the kitchen. - The beta said.
-Yes, nice to meet you, young Nunew. -The omega said, and they left quickly.
They didn't stop looking at each other even when the girl’s said goodbye.
- Are you admitting that I won you over like this? - Zee dared to grab him by the waist.
- Hey! Don't go any further because I want to make a good impression and you'll ruin my makeup. - Nunew pushed him away by the chest.
-But they already know you. -Zee replied with a pout.
-This is different. -The omega replied, and Zee sighed resignedly.
-You win this time Nu. So, let's go to the dining room, are you ready? - Zee asked in a challenging tone.
-… Now I want to go to the bathroom.
Zee laughed again, he missed being with him so much.
-
When they arrived at the dining hall, Nunew saw that the food was already being served in the center. He could say with certainty that this was the largest dining table he had ever seen in his life.
Through another door someone appeared, it was Zee's brother-in-law, whom he had met at the parliament. He arrived with a baby in his arms.
-Young Nunew, welcome. Please take a seat, my wife and the rest of the family will be coming in a few minutes.
Nunew greeted him with a slight bow, and at the last thing he said, he looked at Zee a little nervously.
-Let's sit down. -Zee answered his look.
Shortly afterwards, as planned, the rest of the family arrived. Nunew stood up to greet the king as soon as he saw him arrive; he was wheeled in by members of the staff and finally placed at the head of the family at the dining table.
-Nunew, I ordered this whole banquet to welcome you. - The King began to speak once everyone was already at the table, including Zee's two little nephews, who were still looking at Nunew with great curiosity. - I want you to know how happy my wife and I are that you are part of this family.
Nunew felt a little embarrassed hearing that, he felt that everything was too much. If this was just to make their relationship known, what would it be like when they took further steps?
-Your Majesty. -He dared to speak. -With all due respect, I think it's too much.
- It's not too much. Nunew. Besides, it's also part of the apology for the scandal my lascivious son caused at your house a few days ago.
- Dad! - Zee exclaimed.
- What is “lascivious”? - asked the little girl who was sitting next to her mother in the dining room.
-Tara, please be quiet. - Her mother silenced her.
-I hope your parents enjoyed the gifts. -The King continued speaking.
-That's right. -Nunew looked more relaxed. -My dad doesn't hate Zee for what happened, he just needed to… process it.
-Don't worry, I understand perfectly, in his place I would have reacted the same way. But fortunately, Elf never did something like that, because as you should know, I have two omega daughters; Anne, who is here with us. -Nunew turned to look at the woman, who smiled at him. -And Nadine, who lives in Diamantes.
-I would have died before trying, your majesty. - Elf commented amused.
- Is it true that Uncle Zee came to look for you as if you were a princess? - The little girl asked again, now to Nunew.
-… Well, I'm not a princess, but I guess it was something like that. - Nunew answered the little girl, somewhat thoughtfully.
-But you have to admit that what my little brother did was very romantic, we never thought he would do such a thing. -Anne interrupted.
-I don't want to think about that, daughter, just thinking about the shame he made me go through makes me take a step closer to the grave. -The King replied.
-But we haven't seen you so energetic in a long time, dear. -Now it was the Queen's turn to speak, first to her husband, and then to Nunew. -Nunew, that night I didn't want my husband to find out about your father's call. I thought he was asleep when I answered, but it turned out that he was listening to us the whole time, so almost at midnight he wanted to get up to go find Zee and bring him back by the ears.
Nunew laughed a little at the anecdote, while Zee ate from his plate trying to dissociate.
-I was kept alive by the desire to beat up my own son. - The man commented again.
-But tell us… - Anne changed the subject, looking for answers from Nunew. - How did you two meet?
-Well… -Nunew didn't know what to say, he couldn't explain the truth 100%, since they didn't meet as it would have been in a tale of princes and princess.
-At university. -Zee replied.
-We already know that, but I want more details, I want to know how you courted him. - The young woman looked deeply interested.
Had they even been in courtship? One day they were fighting and the next they didn't want to leave each other.
-He… always followed me, and always wanted to make me happy. - That was the first thing Nunew thought of answering, remembering when Zee bought him the whisk so he wouldn't be sad.
Zee looked at him in surprise.
-I did notice something. The Queen commented, drawing everyone's attention.
- Really? Tell us, Mom. - Her daughter said.
-Fae had already told me that Zee was late for some errands, and also that he was going to college when he had no work to do there. I also noticed Zee was very distracted, sometimes very anxious, sometimes very happy… Then, when he brought Nunew home, the whole mystery was cleared up for me. Daughter, if you add two plus two in a young and single alpha, the result is very obvious.
-Mom… -Zee was perplexed.
-Son, I could have easily asked Mark where he took you when you guys disappeared for hours, or Fae about the reasons for your delays, but I decided to wait for you to tell me.
-But instead, he decided to dishonor his family. - The King interrupted.
- Honey, forgive him for that now, Zee has learned his lesson.
-You are right, the important thing now is that his love is reciprocated and our family is growing. In addition to three grown children, I now have two sons-in-law, and also two grandchildren from my daughter's side. -The King turned to look at the girl and the baby who was in his father's arms. -In the future I hope to have more grandchildren who will fill this house with joy. -He said now looking at them.
The two of them became extremely nervous about what was said, after all, that required…
-Dessert is here, your majesty. - A waiter entered with the food cart, bringing them out of their thoughts.
-Excellent. -The King said. -Nunew, I hope you like the sweets the palace has prepared for you. Zee says you like them very much and asked for several types to be made.
-Thank you very much, I'm sure I'll like them. - The omega replied and then turned to look at Zee, who seemed happy with his reaction.
-By the way, Nunew. -The Queen spoke for it. -Next week we are having a fundraising dinner for charity, my husband and I would like you to come. It will be a good way for you to become familiar with the duties of a Queen, and it will also be an opportunity for your relationship to be made known.
Nunew didn't know what to say; it was clear to him that he wanted their relationship to be formal and acknowledged to avoid misunderstandings. But the idea also frightened him.
-Don't be scared, we're not going to expose you to anything. Just the fact that you show up with Zee and we mention you as part of us will be a way of confirming it. -She spoke as if she could read his mind.
-So… Okay, I'd like to. -He turned to look at Zee again. -If Zee wants…
-I'll be happy to have you come with me. -Zee said.
-Then I will come. -Nunew said confidently to the Queen.
-Say no more, then we will be waiting for you. - She answered happily.
The dinner continued, with more conversations probing the couple, and more information about Zee's family, which Nunew listened to with interest.
Because it was so late when dinner ended, the kings proposed that he spend the night in the palace; there they would provide him with everything he needed to wash and sleep. Nunew accepted; in this way, he suddenly found himself in the bathtub of the room they had prepared for him.
It was a fairly large bathroom, decorated in white marble and various blue moldings. The tub was very large; it had been prepared so that the water was at a perfect temperature, the bubbles fluttered around his body and the smell of bath salts filled his nostrils, so he sank into the water a little, relaxing.
Later he came out and found a pair of pajamas laid out on the big bed. He immediately put them on and felt the soft silk caressing his skin. He hugged himself to feel it better. It was the kind of thing he never thought he would ever know.
The door slammed, causing him to let go of himself. Maybe it was Zee.
Zee had accompanied him to the room, but before leaving him alone, Nunew had taken him by the arm.
-Don't go, stay here.
-But, Nu…
- Could you... sleep here? I don't know anyone... I don't want to be alone.
Zee looked at him strangely, and understood that it was certainly best to accompany him until he felt safer.
-Okay, I'll stay, I'll just go to my room to get ready and I'll be back, okay?
Upon opening the door, he indeed found the alpha, who returned wearing pajamas similar to the ones he had, but in blue.
- Ready to sleep? - He asked as he entered.
-Yeah, I already took a bath and… Oops. -He grabbed his cheeks and Zee looked at him with concern.
- Is something wrong?
-Nothing, I just didn't put on makeup. -He covered his face with his hands.
-Nu, I've already seen you without makeup, you know, I went to your house...
-But it's different Zee, I'm in a palace.
-Nu is pretty, even if you don't have makeup on. If you go out like that, everyone in the palace will know that you are their future Queen anyway.
-A Queen with pale cheeks. -Nunew answered amused.
-But that doesn't make you any less beautiful. -Zee emphasized, raising his index finger. -Now come on, let's go to bed, it's late.
Nunew looked at him sheepishly at the compliment. The alpha climbed onto the bed, patting the mattress, to which Nunew responded by running and jumping on.
-It's very comfortable. -Nunew said, jumping up and down where he sat. -The beds in the dorm are a rock compared to this one.
-And you haven't tried jumping on mine... -Zee said, getting under the covers, apparently not yet realizing the meaning of his words. -... I mean, a prince's mattress is much more comfortable! -He exclaimed quickly as soon as he realized.
-Well… -Nunew got under the covers too, lying on his side facing him. - I can imagine, maybe another day you'll show me your room.
The two stood face to face, although they couldn't see each other, since Zee had already turned off the light.
-Sure, another day you will stay there… Good night, Nu.
-Good night, Zee.
-
-
Morning came through the window in the form of a light light filtering through the white curtains. Nunew was the first to wake up, moving a little in bed, and the movement made him feel something unusual …
Zee was behind him; he could hear soft snores reaching his ears. Also, he had Zee's arm around his waist and he also felt Zee's feet close to his. Then… that other thing…
His eyes snapped open as he felt that thing move against his buttocks and the scent of alpha pheromones hit him hard. For a moment everything stopped, and he even had to hold his breath as his brain formed responses.
Then, between Zee's snores, he heard what seemed to be a moan. All of this caused his body to start to feel hot, and his physical response was to make some small movements with his pelvis, with the intention of "checking out what it was", so by making those movements he was pulling his hips back, feeling that hardness more clearly. But he didn't stop there, he continued moving, it was as if his body was reacting involuntarily.
It was growing larger, and Nunew felt himself trembling as he became aware of it. He closed his eyes, trying to imagine what it was like, just by being able to feel it. He knew he was not a pure-minded soul, so his imagination formed many possible shapes that this thing could have, and the more he thought, the more he felt his breathing become labored and his hips automatically move.
Suddenly, he felt Zee's hand in front of him clench into a fist.
The alpha's forehead collided with his shoulder… That alone made him stop.
-… I… I’m sorry. - He managed to hear the alpha’s hoarse voice.
A silence formed due to the awkwardness.
Nunew took a breath and with it, he took courage; he removed the alpha's arm from his body -which made Zee turn his head to the side as well- and turned fully towards him.
-I… -Not having enough words, he went straight to the actions and brought one of his hands to the alpha's clothed crotch, where he began to rub it over his pajama pants.
- Nu! -Zee woke up completely when he felt that.
-I am also responsible. - Fearful, Nunew continued rubbing, being able to feel in more detail the shape of the phallus dressed in that slippery fabric.
Zee gasped and rolled to the side, lying down. Nunew moved closer to him, still touching him, and settled so that his head was resting on the alpha's chest.
- Can I…? - Nunew asked, turning to look at him, taking the elastic of his pants, finding Zee covering his face with one of his hands.
-Yeah…
With his consent, he reached out his trembling hand to rummage beneath the garment…
His heart was beating so hard and his body was heating up, never in his virginal life did he believe he will be doing something like this.
He felt the member through the damp underwear, rubbing it up and down again. Nearby he could hear Zee's panting breaths, which made him feel his own crotch starting to react.
Without thinking twice, he moved on to the next level and put his hand under his boxers, finally feeling that penis moistened by the pre-cum that had already begun to come out, and which he perceived on the fabric as soon as he rubbed over it.
With that direct contact, his imagination flew even further; maybe he couldn't see it, but he was already feeling that flesh vividly. He felt the wet glans and rubbed it with his palm in an attempt to obtain more lubrication with the pre-cum, and then moved on to the shaft. It felt so thick, the prominent veins that covered it were easily palpable so he traced them with his fingers. At this Zee let out a very loud gasp, that motivated him to cover the shaft with his hand once and for all and start pumping it slowly. The alpha's hoarse moans activated his instincts and as the alpha's scent had concentrated, his wet entrance began to throb.
Now wrapping his hand around his penis, he continued the up and down motion. In between he would brush his thumb over his urethra, as well as making sweeping motions as he reached the shaft, thinking seriously about how much the knot would expand, and how it would feel to have him inside him. He slowly increased the speed according to his own level of arousal. That arousal was fueled by the fact that Zee's hand that crossed behind his body landed on his hips and was also rubbing and squeezing his ass every time a spasm of pleasure went through him.
He didn't see it coming when the alpha managed to get through the barrier of his clothes and up his abdomen to his chest, where he ran his fingers over the nearest nipple and pinched it. Then, he stifled the loud moan against Zee's chest, and for those seconds he released the alpha penis. Zee's hand went back down, brushing him over his pants again. On one hand, he didn't want Zee to get under his underwear or he would end up losing control and that wouldn't be the only thing he would lose there that morning...*
Anyway, with his other hand, which was under his body, he ended up unbuttoning the first few buttons of his pajamas to caress his chest and then lowered it to his crotch to rub himself. He wanted so much to take off all those annoying clothes and show his naked body to the alpha, while he climbed on top of him riding him to see if he would get wild… with so much heat he didn't even remember his insecurities… but he shouldn't, he had to keep his sanity in the middle of the dense heat full of pheromones.
He quickly resumed his motion with Zee's cock, picking up speed; Zee threw the hand covering his forehead to the side. The alpha was now letting out his guttural gasps louder.
-Nu, I... I'm going to... - The alpha was almost incomprehensible between his moans.
-Do it in my hand. -Nunew answered, caressing the urethra with his thumb, and squeezed the phallus again -carefully- with greater speed.
With that answer, he provoked a loud moan from Zee, which came along with a jet of semen that spread between the omega's hand and the clothes that covered him. Feeling it, Nunew let go of the phallus and left his hand there for a moment, but then he pulled it out, leaving both of them breathing heavily.
After a while, Nunew opened his eyes again. He needed to get up and go to the bathroom, but now he felt so embarrassed that he didn't know how they were going to look at each other. So, fearfully, he got up with the help of only one hand -the other was stained with semen- and turned to Zee, who had already opened his eyes.
-… Nu… you'll make me hard again… - He said, looking in front of him at a spectacle: Half of the buttons on Nunew's pajama shirt were undone, so that the garment had slipped off one of his shoulders, leaving a nipple and part of the rest of his chest exposed.
Nunew, realizing this, quickly covered himself with his hands, but remembered -and felt- that one of his hands was wet and removed them again, exposing his chest and nipple again, now stained with the alpha's semen.
-Oh my God… - The alpha lamented, covering his face with his hands.
- You are a dirty person! - Nunew exclaimed, turning his back on him.
-Says the one who's been masturbating me for a while. -Zee countered.
- Shhh! -Nunew was blushing as he heard his actions described. -… I better go take a bath; I have to get home.
-Wait, Nu. -Zee sat up, before Nunew left the bed. -I'm sorry if all this offended you, I…
- Why would you believe that? … I wanted to. - The omega turned to face him again and approached him, and Zee didn't miss the opportunity to approach him and hug him as well.
As soon as they let go of each other, Nunew quickly went to the bathroom, and Zee watched him go, lost in his movements as he walked... until he realized that the omega had stained him with his wet hand on one of his arms, at which point he made a face of disgust, especially when he remembered that the inside of his pants was also a mess... It would be uncomfortable to walk to his room like that.

Later, Zee went down to the dining room after taking a long bath that cooled his thoughts after such a morning. When he arrived, he found Nunew already sitting there, and on the other side of the table, Max.
- Hello?
-Good morning, Zee, I came to have breakfast and I found him here. - Max greeted.
Zee looked at Nunew, who in turn looked down. It was difficult to hold his gaze after what they had done. He also became nervous, now that he had a cool head things felt different.
-Hey... what are you guys up to? -Max looked at them suspiciously. -Did you get into a fight?
-Nothing Max, I have to take Nunew to the dorm, so I'll be back later. - Zee changed the subject by taking out his car keys. Nunew stood up and grabbed the bag provided to carry his clothes. He had been given new clothes to wear home.
-Okay, I'll wait for you here, there are things to talk about. -Max watched them leave in silence.
-
-
The walk home was silent. Despite having apologized, Zee still felt as if he had done something wrong. But on the other hand, it had been Nunew who had taken the initiative for that… So, his mind was a mess.
Nunew, on the other hand, was looking out the window, not yet able to turn to look at him. He felt like some kind of abuser, since he had been the one who started rubbing against the alpha who was still sleeping, and then he did more things to him; he touched his… his chili -as Net would say- and masturbated him with the same hand that he had slapped him with a couple of months ago. That was something he couldn't get over, and since he wasn't a pure soul, he would surely continue to remember the whole experience for the rest of the day and at night he would have vivid dreams.
They reached the dorms and Zee got out with him, offering to carry his bag and escort him to his room. Nunew accepted, without saying many words. But upon arriving, the conversation took place.
-Nu… -It was Zee who started to speak. -… Do you remember that I told you that I would like to travel somewhere with you before returning to school?
Nunew really remembered that, it was in the days when his fear was consuming him.
-I would still like to… If you wanted.
- Where to? - He asked curiously, taking his bag.
-I was thinking about CrystalBrook, maybe you've heard of that place.
-I've seen some videos about that place. -Nunew's eyes reflected excitement in his response. -They say it's very magical.
-That's right. -Zee's concern vanished when he saw the omega so interested. -CrystalBrook is further ahead of Arkonix, and we can return the same day. It's also close to the mountains, so it's colder.
-This time I brought some warm clothes. -Nunew smiled triumphantly.
-I was also thinking that we could stop by there to pick out your clothes for the charity event.
-Zee… -The omega's expression became worried again. -I don't have enough for something expensive…
-It's all from me Nu, I'm the one who's inviting you. Besides, I was the one who followed you home just to ask you to be my life partner. Please don't feel like you don't deserve it. Besides, your work in the future will be tiring, it's not just a luxury.
-Well… If you put it that way…- Nunew went from being thoughtful to looking positive at the answer. -Okay, and I will do my best to learn what I have to do.
-So, I'll tell you what to bring later, okay? Mark won't be coming with us this time so we have to be prepared.
Nunew nodded.
Before leaving, Nunew wanted to return to the topic of the morning, not wanting to be left with no words left in his throat.
-Zee, sorry if I bothered you this morning.
- What? No… Believe me, that didn't bother me… -Zee tried every way to tell him that it hadn't been bad. -Actually… I enjoyed it… I just wasn't expecting it.
Nunew raised his face with a puzzled expression, which softened as the weight was lifted off his shoulders.
-After all, you are a dirty alpha. - Said the one who had not been thinking about the alpha's penis the whole way, and, returning to his old self, he took the first step of approaching him and hugging his neck. Zee responded by entwining his arms around his waist, and in the middle of the hug he lifted him up, causing Nunew to giggle.
By now, they were no longer interested in people passing by in the hallway. They didn't even mind if someone watched them as they walked together. However, the door behind them opened and Yim leaned in to interrupt them.
-Nunew, it's good that you're here, we have to start with today's cleaning. -As he said his words, they separated, turning to him. -But if his majesty doesn't want to let you go, you can stay and help clean the bathroom.
-Good morning to you too, Yim. -Zee said. -I would very much like to help you, but I must return to the palace.
-I'm coming Yim, don't worry.
-I'll wait for you then. - Yim said goodbye, closing the door, but a second later he opened it again. - Have a nice day, Your Majesty. - He went back inside, leaving the door half open now.
-I have to clean the bathroom. -Nunew turned to him. -See you then.
They looked at each other for a few thousandths of a second, and then they took the step of kissing each other on the lips as a farewell. After what had happened that morning, what would be the shame in that?
Zee said goodbye and, like last time, disappeared down the hall.
-
-
Upon returning to the palace, he searched for Max until he found him watching TV in the movie theater with Mark.
-Anyone would say you live here. -He said as soon as he entered the room.
- Your Majesty! - Mark stood up, frightened when he saw him. - Excuse me, I'll be back to my area in a moment. - The man quickly left the place before the eyes of those present.
-You're not even a king yet and you're already scary, you're on the right track. -Max said with irony. -But going back to your question, yes, I almost live here.
-So, what was it you had to tell me? -Zee moved to sit next to him.
-I'll let the news speak for itself. -Max looked through his phone until he found what he was looking for and showed the screen.
It was a news item:
“Spades in danger? Sources report that the King is about to take his last breath and there are still no signs of his son’s coronation”
- What?! -Zee was stunned. - Where did this come from? My father has been stable, this couldn't have come from here.
-That's the interesting thing, I tracked down the source and that news comes from Joker Land.
-They are trying to misinform.
-Exactly. -Max leaned back in his seat. -It seems they are trying to give the false impression that Picas is collapsing.
Zee sighed in frustration. He had just left Nunew in his bedroom, but now he had to return to his heavy reality.
-You and your future queen must hurry to show yourselves to deny that.
-Don't worry, he'll be with me at the charity event. -Zee leaned back in his seat as well. -Although that might not calm the rumors.
-No, but it will put a new spin on all this… But for now, relax man, and tell me how dinner went.
Zee, despite everything, appreciated Max's ways of not frustrating him more than he already was. There were days when everything seemed to be against him. The best thing to do at those times was certainly to relax, tell him about his night -avoiding the details of the morning-, and then he would report the case to his mother, who was also aware of the situation now that his father had to avoid stressing himself out.
Besides, he didn't want anything to take away from his excitement for his upcoming trip with Nunew, mostly due to the fact that they would be traveling alone… Which also made him a little nervous now that he knew how heated things could get between them. After all, they were an alpha and an omega traveling alone to a cold town… Well, maybe it was quite valid to be nervous.
