The crown prince Davion Draleon Blakemore wondered off into the woods. He strolled side by side with Aricus, to make things clear and prevent any problems in the future.
He thought it best to declare where he stood with the man from the word go. He wouldn't give him false hopes when his heart belonged to someone else.
The night they shared was but a mistake, he regretted it and didn't wish to drag the matter further than it had to be. He was in love with Jason and that wouldn't change for a long time.
"You look happier," Aricus began to speak when Davion was still contemplating what to say. "I knew that when you returned to me, I might not be in your heart," he added.
Davion halted. Aricus spoke with pain in his eyes and voice. His words were as though their encounter stretched far beyond the night they spend together under the moonlight.
