Julian:

I stormed out the door and down the hall, pausing outside his door. Panic flooded me, making it hard to breathe. If he decided to tell anyone about this little incident, the gallows would be in my near future. I stood taller, there was no chance that he would out his soulmate when he had such a lovesick brain. I composed myself and strode out of the hallway, running a hand through my dark curly hair.

As I fast-walked forward, I kept my eyes glued to the floors. It wasn't long before I felt my body slam into another's. I looked up, expecting to see a large guard starring down at me, but instead, Thomas layer sprawled out on the floor in front of me, his short frame having been knocked over by my angry walking.

I instantly snapped out of my mood and kneeled down to help him up. "Thomas! I am so sorry!"

He chuckled and rubbed a hand over his arm. "I'm fine, Julian. In fact, I'm great." A dark blush coated his pale skin and my eyes widened.

"Julian?"

"Yes?"

His voice was shaky when he spoke, "I think I love you."

Jasper:

I grabbed the small bell beside my bed and gave it a shake. As I waited for a maid to show up, I looked up at the ceiling.

Julian.

There was no doubt that he was my soulmate, the connection I felt with him was way past words and he felt it too. He had to, right?

A loud knock on the door signaled the maid's arrival.

"Come in!"

A small head peered through the crack in the door. "Master, what can I help you with?"

"Get me a new pair of shoes. The ones for the soldiers." If Julian thought he had slipped past me with the ratty shoes, he was wrong. I noticed everything about him.

The maid let out a small gasp before loyally nodding and running away. At least I had loyalty from my servants. I stayed laying on the bed where Julian left me. I could feel his hands on me still and hopefullness filled me. If I felt this way, surely he felt it too?

Julian:

"You what?" I must have heard him wrong, this isn't happening.

"I-I love you, Julian." His blush only heightened and he looked down at the ground, obviously embarrassed.

I could lie and say I felt nothing for him but that, that would be unfair to him. I did feel something for Thomas. Sure, it wasn't as strong as what I felt for Jasper but it was still something.

"Thomas?"

"Y-Yes?"

Words wouldn't be enough. Even as a non-romantic, I knew that. I brought my hand up to cup his cheek and leaned in, bringing my lips to his. His lips were soft and gentle, timid almost. I ran my thumb over his cheek and he let out a small moan. I slowly broke away, my eyes meeting his deep brown ones. His blonde mop of hair slightly draped over his eyes and he looked up at me with adoration in his large eyes.

A loud pair of footsteps appeared from behind me and I froze. I reached out to grasp Thomas's hand and slowly turned around to face him.

Jasper.

Jasper stood as tall as he could possibly be, which was still much shorter than me, and his dark brown eyes were alight with rage. "Sneaking around and making out? I ought to have you two hanged for such homosexual behavior."

I let out a low growl but surprisingly, Jasper didn't flinch. Instead, he took another step towards me, anger seeping through his every part. I instinctively took a step forward, dropping Thomas's now-sweaty hand. I positioned myself so that I was in front of him, in case of Jasper lunging out and hurting his servant.

"As if you haven't engaged in homosexual behavior of your own, my king." My tone was mocking and I could tell he was even more enraged by the cold way I addressed him.

"After what we just had?"

"Oh, you mean me threatening you?" I took another step forward. "Did that turn you on, freak?"

I could see his lower lip begin to tremble and something inside me grew sad at making him upset. No, no, I have to stay strong. He's a monster. Instead of stopping like I wanted, I pushed on.

"If I stabbed you, would you fall in love with me?"

And at that, Something in him seemed to break. His eyes began to water tremendously. "I already love you, Julian."

He couldn't be serious, there was no way. The long that is starred at him, the more I realized that yes, he was serious. Two guys in one day, it was a new record! Of course, I had no clue that I was even gay.

"Well I don't love you."

Liar.

I turned to Thomas so that I wouldn't have to see the broken look on the king's face. "Let's go, Thomas."

And there I left behind the broken man in my footsteps.
