Alex had had similar dreams his whole life, not that he would ever mention them to anyone. He was already too much for most people, he didn’t want to be a loony on top of it too. He understood feeling like you were going through a mess, however, knew it better than most. But he wasn’t sure that Nicholas wanted to hear that right now. “It’s not like you’re up next to take the throne. What’s she really going to do if you do want you want for yourself?”

   He huffed a little and muttered, ‘I’ve heard that one before.’ If he had more studying time on his hands, maybe he would. “Then do what your heart tells you, Nick. You deserved to be happy, not feel like you’re locked up in a cage.” Alex lifted a brow, uncertain feelings about Houston lingered in his head. Nicholas had denied that notion once, what if he did it again? “I did … before … you just left.” He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “If you do this, if we do it, then there’s no going back. You know that right? I don’t want to become something you regret.”

Standing, he took to pacing instead of sitting there. He didn't want to lose Alex. Diaz was the only sense of happiness he had since he became prince. Williams was in a hard place. Recently he had acted like a sullen mess. The dreams he had came back in full force. Times of Camelot took over his dreams at night. Some of them were reoccurring during the daytime too. He kept that to himself for fear of being called crazy. "I had more freedom. The crown didn't care what I did as long as it didn't fall back on them. Now, they try to control my every move. I can't breathe without the queen giving me a lecture or worse."

Turning around, he faced Alex. "You really need to brush up on your English history." It didn't matter what Ellen told the Queen. She would have her way if it involved her family. "I've been thinking of it more and more. I have no say here. I have no real value. I'm just being used for photo ops." He hated it all. Every time he was forced to put a smile on for the camera, he died a little. "Let's just go. I don't think I can stay in this palace anymore. What about Huston? You said you wanted to bring me there."

Alex is moved back to my multi, for real this time: here. all threads are being moved over there.

   Usually, it’s Alex who enjoys the rough treatment. He allows Henry to use his full royal authority on him and he loves it. Though it’s something they’ll keep between them, cause anyone might try to use that against him. However, he’s always happy to reciprocate if Henry is in the mood and it seems that he might be right now.

   “Hello sweetheart,” Alex said, pressing his mouth to the back of Henry’s neck. “I think that you can imagine that for yourself, can’t you, dear?” He chuckles softly, a hand lowering to Henry’s bottom and squeezing teasingly. “I’m not letting you travel alone to London again,” he said, voice low as he trailing kisses along his neck, under his ear and to the edge of his shoulder that he could get to. “It has been too long to have you away from me. I think it’s time you make up for that, hm?”

It's MORE OFTEN than not that Henry finds himself in this position, especially lately, but with Alex it's always a choice. It's something he wants, not something that's the easiest way out. Sometimes the positions are reversed, on days when Alex wants to be bossed around, and Henry finds that the use of his royal authority comes in handy, but today isn't one of those days, it seems.

"Hello darling," He chuckles, but there's a slight hitch in his breath as his eyes find the other man's and the corners of his lips curve upwards ever so slightly. "Anything I can HELP you with?"

domestic firstprince in their brownstone, where Alex doesn't have to care so much about grooming routines anymore because Henry likes the way it tickles when they—

   "None of that now, you'll leave those eyes of yours alone, you hear me?" He was starting to sound a little like his mother, accent and all. "No, we need to find you better methods to cope. You'll get there. I have faith in you."

   Alex rubbed Henry's hand softly, offering him comfort while Shaan spoke. "It's a good plan," he agreed with a nod. "And a start. We'll see what the doctors say and then go from there." Alex would help take Henry to any appointments he needed, though he knew Shaan would probably take care of most of them, he wanted to help all the same. "First, you need to rest and recover while you're in here. Speaking of, have you had anything to eat? Do you need anything? Let me help you, sweetheart."

“I sort of just want to rip my eyes out,” Henry confessed with a weak laugh, swallowing hard and managing a soft smile at the kiss to his hand. “I guess that wouldn’t count as… going through the motions?” he cleared his throat. “Shaan… what happens next?”

“There’ll be scans, sir. To see how much of your sight can be restored, if any - though I warn caution as far as restoration goes. But we should know within a few days to a week whether or not there’s any hope. If so, we can start talking about doctors - if not… rehabilitation. Therapy.,” Shaan explained quietly.

   "You've just been through hell. Please don't apologize, that's the last thing you should be doing right now." Alex didn't know how much of Henry's face he could touch right now, so instead he brought his hand up to his mouth and kissed the back of it. "All we can really do is go through the motions right now, yeah? You've got this, Henry. And you're not alone."

Henry took a shuddering breath, managing another slight sob, and a wet chuckle following it. “I’m so sorry, I keep crying. I don’t know what’s wrong with me… I love you so much. - and I hate this. And I’m so sorry that… this is happening.”

   “Hey, hey, don’t touch.” Alex was sure there were some rules to that, so he gently took hold of Henry’s hand and entwined their fingers together. “Because I love you.” If that wasn’t obvious by now, he wasn’t sure what would be. “I did sign up for it, all of it. Whatever you’re going through, Hen. I’m here for you, no matter what. And nothing you say is going to change my mind or shoo me away. We’ve already been down that path and I sticky you anyway, remember? This changes nothing, figuratively anyway. I love you/ That doesn’t change. You got that, Wales? I will forever storm castles if it means keeping you at my side.”

Henry could feel himself tearing up again and he swallowed hard, wishing he could reach up to rub his eyes, which felt itchy and sore, but the bandage covering them was there for a reason. “Why?” He asked, voice cracking slightly. “Why do you… still want me? I would understand if you - if this is too much for you. It’s not what you signed up for so I would understand."

   While Alex understood that Shaan didn’t want Henry to have hope his sight would come back, Alex would hope for it anyway. Maybe not all of it, but some of it had to, right? There had to be technology out there now that could help with Henry’s situation and everyone who knew him knew that he wasn’t the type to give up, even more so with his loved ones.

   “Of course you can come home!” Alex said, shocked by the notion. “I mean, I get that, it won’t be super easy to get around, but I’ll do whatever I can to make things accessible for you. And if we have to move, fine. We’ll move wherever you want to go. I’m staying with you, regardless of what your stubborn self thinks. You need someone with you now now more than ever and I’m going to be making vows to you, remember? That starts now, it has for awhile. You’re stuck with me, Henry.” He had a feeling Henry would keep trying to push him away or act like he wasn’t wanted, but that wasn’t the case at all and it would never be.

Henry’s sobs finally quietened, even as Shaan reached forward to gently press a hand to Alex’s shoulder, shaking his head. He didn’t want the Prince to get any false hope regarding his sight; it would be better if Henry accepted this new reality for what it was rather than have his dreams dashed later.

“… so what happens now?” Henry asked after a little while, his voice small and barely audible. “I’m… I’m not going to b-be able to come home, right? The brownstone isn’t… I mean, I won’t be able to get around it easily. And I don’t want to go back to England unless… unless you don’t want me here."
