Moral Support

[Zander Brogthamon]

"A student? How scandalous." She teased with a soft laugh. Zander certainly was used to waking up early but it had less to do with his age and more to do with habit. He'd been waking up before the crack of dawn since he could remember. It was the same with going on a jog every morning or working on his sword technique. It was just part of who he was at this point.

As Pearce agreed to come with him Zander put out his hand as an offer to take his. Before working on his rounds he wanted to have some time alone with the nobleman. There was a small spot not far behind where the swords were kept that the redhead had wound up becoming far too acquainted with over time. Though it was a bit of a small nook it was completely out of the way of anyone else.

The overgrown grass and vines crawling up the cracked wall were sign enough that no one regularly visited the spot. "I just wanted a quick moment alone with you." He purred as he wrapped his arms around Pearces neck.

Pearce shifted awkwardly. Very scandalous. He probably shouldn't have said that but what else was he supposed to say? It was true. The age difference was another story he didn't want to have brought up.

He took Zander's hand and followed him around the yard, a bit concerned. What exactly did Zander have in mind that they couldn't...oh. Private place. Holding hands. Alone. It sunk in further with Zander's words. And the whole alone thing.

"A...uh, a quick moment?" He echoed, a faint smile growing on his face. "I like when you talk like that," he purred back, looping his arms around Zander's waste. He was hesitant to do anything further, considering the whole fainting scenario...but Zander was very hard to say no to.

As Pearces arms wrapped around his waist Zander felt his heart flutter in his chest. He moved them back a bit until he felt the wall press against his back and leaned up to kiss him. Of course he didn't want to push the man too much. After the fainting incident before and having him already have a heart attack the last thing the redhead wanted to do was overwhelm him.

"Is that right?" He teased with a soft chuckle. "Are you feeling any better now? I don't want you fainting again." Zander ran his fingers through the mans hair as he looked up at him curiously.

The nobleman was a little nervous about all of thst. But if there was one time he wasn't nervous in his life, that was when he was with someone he cared about and who cared about him. It was a confidence he wished he had other times in life. But he knew why he didn't.

He was positive there was nothing Zander could do in a moment like this to overwhelm him. He nodded and kissed his cheek gently.

The blush couldn't be helped at the notion of fainting but he pushed it aside. "Better when you kiss me," he teased, before leaning in to Zander to kiss him, tugging him up to him. Better when he did a lot of other things too.

Feeling Pearce kiss his cheek made his face heat up as a soft blush crossed his face. "Well then, let's make you feel better." He muttered quietly before he felt the nobles lips against his. He leaned up into the kiss with a smile as he tangled his fingers in the mans hair.
