mindcracklove | Royal Chpt. 8: Their Fate

Their fate, what is it exactly? Is it a long spiral into depression, or something magical?

Zisteau sat on the edge of the fountain in spawn with a heavy heart. He missed Kurt so deeply. He missed him more than he'd ever missed anything.

He missed Kurt more than he missed his family and his home, Nether kingdom.

It brought him much sadness, but he knew he couldn't interrupt, it was Kurt's fate to be king. And, it was his to be without him, no matter how heart breaking it was.

Zisteau knew all this, yet his heart ached for Kurt. It ached to hold him close again.

Zisteau felt a few tears start running down his cheeks, replacing the wet streaks that had been there not long ago.

He wanted the non stop heart ache to go away, though he knew it wouldn't. He knew it never would, especially since he'd never get to be with Kurt again.

The option of moving on, finding someone else, was always there. But, Zisteau couldn't ever see himself with anyone else. He couldn't see himself holding another close, kissing another. He couldn't imagine it, he really couldn't.

Zisteau brought a hand up, wiping away the few tears that had fallen. He was a mess, to be honest. If it hadn't been for Vechs' constant bugging, he wouldn't have left his base.

Zisteau looked at the bubbly purple portal, Kurt's situation coming back to mind.

He knew Kurt was supposed to be married soon, he knew what it meant for the two of them and their relationship.

Zisteau looked down at his hands. I should've been the one he's marrying, Zisteau thought to himself.

~~~<3~~~

Kurt ran through the portal labeled Mindcrack. The second he materialized on the other side, his knees gave out and he collapsed.

He ended up with his back against the obsidian of the portal, his crown having fallen off his head and onto his lap.

Kurt couldn't believe all of that had actually just happened. He couldn't believe his father hated him, the whole of his kingdom probably did too.

His mind went to Zisteau, and the fight they'd had. He knew nothing would be the same between them now, not after everything that had happened.

Kurt picked up his crown, turning it over in his hands. This is what started it all. This is what separated Zisteau and himself. It was what tore him away from his real home.

Before Kurt even got a chance to have any other thought, someone was kissing him. It was hard and demanding, it was exactly what Kurt had missed ever so much.

Kurt meet this kiss with one of his own, which was full of passion and love.

When the two pulled away, both panting, they held each other close, Zisteau on Kurt's lap.

Both were in total disbelieve. Both couldn't even begin to actually believe the other was actually there.

They held each other tightly, almost as if the other would just disappear.

"Why... why are you.... here" Zisteau asks, out of breath.

"I... I couldn't.... do it Z..... I couldn't." Kurt replies, caressing Zisteau's face, looking into his blue-green eyes that Kurt loved ever so much.

"Couldn't do.... what?"

"I couldn't marry her..... I couldn't leave you"

"You... you gave up being king..... for me?" Zisteau asks, looking at Kurt incredulously.

Kurt nods, his eyes watering with tears that threatened to spill, though they weren't sad tears.

"Kurt... I..."

"I love you Zisteau. I couldn't leave, not after being with you for six years. I couldn't do it. I couldn't be away from you, your the love of my life."

"I love you too, Kurt"

The two just sat there, staring at each other, unable to keep the huge smiles off of their faces.

The two gravitated towards each other, their lips meeting, starting another kiss, though this one much softer, sweeter.

"Don't ever leave again" Zisteau murmurs in Kurt's ear once they pull away.

"Never" Kurt replies, pressing his face into the crook of Zisteau's neck, taking a deep breath.

Zisteau smelled like home, his true home, one Kurt never wanted to leave, ever again.
