"Good morning," Elian smiled as he opened his eyes and saw Lucien staring at him in admiration.
"I swear to the heavens, if you hadn't taken me back, I'd kill myself…" Lucien murmured huskily, rubbing the tip of his nose along Elian's jawline.
Elian giggled very softly. "Mm? Why?" He placed a tender hand on Lucien's chin, smiling sleepily.
Lucien gazed into Elian's blue eyes, heart pounding steady with love and affection. "Because you are my life, El. You leave…" he pressed his forehead on Elian's, "I die." He whispered.
"Silly Duke," Elian mumbled, rubbing the top of their noses together.
"Not silly. Serious," Lucien said firmly.
Elian sighed. "Come here already." He chuckled and pulled Lucien flush against him, wrapping his legs around Lucien's hips. "I love you." He whispered and tilted his head, pressing his lips softly against Lucien's.
