[ that's certainly not what he expected.

cute?

that's not a term that's usually associated with him. terrifying, yes, even words like haunting and flawless, but certainly not cute. since when has Will thought of him has cute? it's not so long ago that they were caught in a bitter battle together, challenging one another.

still, Louis keeps him from falling, shifting the weight on the swing so he can balance himself without tumbling to the ground. as gleeful a moment as that would be, his duty as consort is to make his king look good, and a country is only as good as its king looks on some level (on an oversimplified level, but he was certain that there would be some onlookers that caught sight of them before he could make a threat).

he holds the knit of the rope steady as Will discards the rest of his clothes, holding himself as a statue for the king to lean on if needed. he's good at playing soldier, perhaps because he did it for so long before this.

when drops his clothing, Louis tilts his head down to take a kiss. he's direct about it, spontaneous and demanding, capturing the king's mouth in his own as if he were defying an order. another gets pressed to the pink of his cheeks, near the soft hairs beneath his ear.
