    Summary

    When he was sixteen, Hans remembers having a particular conversation with his mother.

    ‘First kisses are meant to be either a fiery rapture or utterly disappointing. You’ll know then if you’ve found your true love or not.’

    However, Hans has quickly come to learn that for a man of his standing, true love is just utter horseshit. He’s more likely to be married off to some other noblewoman like a pawn in someone’s grand game. Alliances by marriage are all the rage these days after all, followed closely by being held hostage.

    Then again, this kiss with Henry, this was something else altogether. Just thinking about him brought back the feeling of the gentle pressure upon his lips, made him recall the way Henry kissed him back fervently. He shouldn't have invited Henry back to his chambers while under the influence of alcohol.

    Summary

    “You are hurt,” he says with a hint of sadness. There is a puzzling amount of understanding and a completely unfamiliar amount of empathy in his eyes. He moves his hand to your hairline and as he pulls his hand back, you see blood painting his fingers. “Are you alright?” He asks.

    Summary

    Nicolò had heard of what Muslims did to Christian men. Although his companion had been nothing less than honorable towards him, sometimes he would afix him with his intense gaze and Nicolò would be left shaken, not knowing whether his shivers were anticipation or fear. Either way, Yusuf’s big hands and broad shoulders didn’t help the situation.

    (The five times Nicolò resisted temptation and the one time he didn't)
