~Forbidden Reign: Royal Lovers~ ( Virtualoo and Alexia__)

[alexia__]

"Because the prince will become better soon I have promoted a plan that will completely end this infernal trouble" he continued as the papers were handed down to the queen. It had been a few days that this had been going on, back and forth discussing what would happen or be done. Over all the queen had yet to speak of her own ideas.

As for Alistair's medical conditions doctors feared many side effects of the poison, one of them being blindness but he refused to think of that.

[virtualoo]

Alistair stayed in his bedroom, knowing he was discussing things with the queen. There was talks of a war..He just wanted this all to end. He didn't want to be afraid for his country..for Alexander. He wanted the love of his life and his country and his loves country to come to some mutual understanding. It broke his heart and he hoped for some comfort with Alexander..and that he would have no side effects.

[alexia__]

Their time became shorter between Alistair and the queen. And soon enough she gave Alex an affirmative answer that could be filled with many dangers.

 

That night he went to his lovers room and laid next to him. The warm body provided Alex confidence and rest, soon enough he too had completely drifted. A hand wrapped around Alistair's waist for security.

[virtualoo]

Alistair soon felt Alexander next to him and smiled, cuddling up to him. He felt comfortable at feeling and smelling Alexanders usual musk at his side. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, arms around Alexander.

 

Alistiar woke up the next morning, everything as dark as it was before. He reached up for his face and his eyes were open..weird..maybe the lights were off? But it was morning..

[alexia__]

At the slightest movement Alex snapped his eyes opened and felt Alistair next to him.

The boy was awake, eyes wide open and body fully awake.

 

"Alistair!" he called not hiding the full liveliness of his voice and the happiness of him being awake. But he celebrated too soon for Alex came in shock as he took in his lovers state.

The small hands were in front of his face, and although the room was fully covered in light, the young prince could not seem to find what he was looking for.

"Alistair" he called again this time with a ball at the back of his throat. Alex's large hands grabbed Alistair's bringing them close to his face.

[virtualoo]

"Alexander..please tell me the room is very dark.." Alistair said, his hands grabbed and reaching out his fingers to touch Alexanders face. "Please....?" Alistair said as his eyes got teary. He wanted to deny that he could not see..He wanted to see his husband but.."I..I..can't see.." The prince stuttered as he was trying to come to terms, a tear rolling down his face.

[alexia__]

Holding his own emotions back, Alex remained steady and calm if he became over whelmed then Alistair could become more agitated.

"Its okay" he tells the other now framing his face wiping away the tears "listen to me its fine trust me"

His own words served for both of them, although he might be playing relaxed Alex's inside were screaming in lament. Hugging the other closer now he whispered those words over and over again.

[virtualoo]

Alistiar cried into the others arms silently, thinking of all the things he could never see. Painting..Alexanders face..he couldn't see or do any of it. He cried silently for a few more moments and needed the comfort of the arms wrapped around him. Alistair clung to the others back, holding him tightly as if he was the anchor that prevented him from floating away.

[alexia__]

A devastating feeling over took Alex, making the impulse so strong that it boiled at the bottom of his stomach. It was unlike anything he ever felt before, this feeling was a mixture of hatred and complete sorrow, almost making him want to throw up.

Feeling the other cling to him made it worse, realizing just how terrible everything was and how this could be his own downfall.

Allowing himself to remain still for the other, Alex ran through his thoughts of every medical book he had ever read, knowing that giving up on Alistair was not an option.

[virtualoo]

Alistair finally stopped crying after what felt like forever, just leaning against him. He needed something right now..anything. He couldn't see his love but he had his touch and his scent and it will have to get him by. The prince thought the other as soft and warm, the touch in itself comforting enough to the distressed Prince. But where did he go from there? What does he do with himself?

[alexia__]

"You know I'm always here for you" says Alex from the bottom of his heart "I know how bad this is but you will always have me, forever"

 

It wasn't long foe the news to spread around the castle, the effects bringing tears to many of the servants eyes. As for the queen, who could not hold herself much longer, ordered the immediate return to the main castle and then locked herself in her chambers.

[virtualoo]

Alistiar did what he could on his own but needed a lot of help since he had his loss of sight. A lot of servants seemed upset, feeling a lot of people hug him and even a few wet tears. He got into the carriage with Alexander, staying at his side he entire time. Even if he could never see again, he had Alexander. It was true..the love of his life was by his side even with this.

[alexia__]

Making sure to be extra careful allowed Alex to be close to Alistair, keeping him from hitting anything or falling over. Before the trip seemed longer but it felt like a blink of an eye and they were back to the city.

His larger hand was around the smaller prince and the other holding his hinds.

 

The palace was ready for them the second they returned. But Alex and Alistair entered through the back doir, quickly making it up the stairs and into their bed chamber.

"Would you allow me to prepare you into a more comfortable clothing?" He asked feeling that this was not something maids should be in charge of any longer.

[virtualoo]

Alistair held the others hands tightly as they were making their way back home. He did not want to let go of Alexander, wanting to stay close to his one source of comfort in all of this at least for now. Alistair trusted the other to take the lead, being unable to see where he was walking. Soon, he figured from remembering he layout of his house and where they were likely to go to, they wre back in the bedchamber. Alistiar turned toward Alexanders voice when he asked if he wanted to change into other clothes. "Yes please.." The prince said quietly, wanting only Alexander anyway to help him. He didn't distrust the staff but with everything..he would rather haw Alexander.

[alexia__]

The changing did not take long, and he cleaned the other's body gently with a humid towel "this will do for now" he murmurs his voice sounding drowned from the larger room.

 

Alex did not dare look into Alistair's face, it pained him to know that the other would not be looking back. After he'd finished Alex moved to where a golden cold hung in the room pulling it to summon a maid. This way she could bring up food for his lover and watch him.

Luckily it was one of the older women that came, one of the closest to Alex since he'd arrived at the castle.

"I will be leaving for a few minutes, there is something I must find in the library. Mary will watch you" he tells the other gently

[virtualoo]

"Oh hello Mary" Alistair smiled, Mary being one of the closest maids he trusted. She had been there probably since he was born, often following her as a small child. "Be back soon okay?" Alistair turned to look where he last heard Alexanders voice. He wondered what he was going to look for in the library but he didn't ask. He was hungry and Mary was there to help him.

[alexia__]

It hurt him even more when Alistair's small face turned to where Alex was, but slightly missed and ended up facing the wall close to the door.

'I promise I'll make you better' he tells himself before closing the door and hurrying towards the larger stairs that took him to the larger doors of the library.

Luckily the palace library selves as a large research study with books for more than thousands of people.

On his way back, Alex's hands were filled with a large variety of books, from medicine to simple plant anatomy.

 

"What of the prince now?" he heard from the far off hallway

"Many fear he can't lead the country now, plus...they can't really produce a child" answered back a sad voice

"Is our country done for?"

 

Clenching his hands Alex walked faster and slammed the door behind him "I'm back" he says happily

[virtualoo]

Alistair spent so much of his time with the older maid, eating his meal while ne jotting pleasant conversation. He asked her of what he had missed for however long he had been out or anything that he might need to know about. "I am going to lead this country with Alexande..sight or not" He smiled softly, while still sad but he was trying to get used to it. "I do t even want to think about children should we ever adopt if I can't see" He sighed.

 

Alexander came in soon after and Alistair smiled toward the door. "Hello Alexander" He smiled happily. "Did you find what you were looking for in the library?" He asked, xurious of what the other had wanted.

[alexia__]

"Yes" slightly he placed the books in the near by study desk and gave Mary a warm smile allowing her to leave the rest to the blonde haired prince.

 

"you seemed to be in a light mood" he adds reaching for the boy's cheek and slightly running his finger over it, as a greeting.

Removing his shoes, Alex let himself under the covers making his way closer to the other boy. He did not dare touch him in a inappropriate way but greatly desired to be close.

[virtualoo]

"I know, I am feeling much better and everyone has been so kind so far" Alistair smiled, liking the others touches. He felt the other getting into bed, leaning against the other and hugging him. Alistair closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth eminating from Alexanders body. "Hopefully you have been well and ok while I was..out?" Alistair asked while turning his head up toward him.

[alexia__]

"yes yes" he adds "of course" then his face drops slightly.

"but you see...I was scared, scared to lose you" theirs fingers entwine.

It felt like a war with his constant feelings and helplessness.

[virtualoo]

"I am happy to have you.." Alistair said softly, intertwining his figments with the others. "Even if I can never see..I know you are there beside me" The prince said softly, leaning into him in content.

[alexia__]

It was not until months passed that Alex realized how much everything had changed. it wasn't until he felt the absence of Alistair's lovely smile running through the hall ways. Or their afternoon walks or horse rides.

It pained the castle to not have the boy leave the room.

 

As for his research, Alex spent the nights after Alistair slept, studying ways to fix his partners vision. Studies of the plans and medical procedures were repeated over and over as he began to depict the effect of it on the body.

It felt as if he was going crazy and completely unsuccessful.

[virtualoo]

Alistiar cherished any moment he could have with Alexander, those being what kept him going every passing day. He could not see the sun set..or the villagers walking down the streets. He wanted something to keep him going without having to rely on Alexander so much. He didn't know what he was up to but he must be stressed. Maybe he could make a difference..but how? Perhaps..maybe a child's laughter can lighten the halls and give him more pleasure?

[alexia__]

Lately he noticed that something was on Alistair's head and with all the studying Alex's been doing little time to ask him. Aside from his visits, he'd been pretty distant but now felt terrible towards it.

That morning he walks into the dinning room where the other was.

"Good morning" he says hugging the other from the back of the chair "is everything okay?"
