    Summary

    “Damen,” Nikandros said, frowning, “if someone sees you there will be rumors, you know that. And with how…tepid our relationship has been with this Veretian envoy, if one of them even glimpses you they’ll take it as a threat—”

    “No one will see me,” Damen said placatingly, opening the doors to the balcony. He propped one open with a small heavy stone, ensuring that the gap of about six inches wasn’t at risk of opening wider. “Everyone is still getting drunk in the great hall. No one will be looking outside.”

    “If Prince Laurent even mentions that he thinks he’s seen something—”

    “Prince Laurent won’t say anything because he won’t even notice my shadow,” Damen said, dousing the lamps in the room and plunging the two of them into darkness. “This is a reconnaissance mission only, Nik. I promise you.”

    Summary

    It's always the same thing, over and over. Draco wants to leave. Harry wants him to stay. Now, their house is getting involved.

    *

    Everything feels slow: Draco straightens. Nods. Reaches for the door handle. There are a million opportunities to stop him, but Harry doesn’t, or can’t, or won’t. Draco twists the handle.

    But it won’t turn.

    Summary

    “If you like,” Laurent added, “I can send a notice. 'Your TA regrets to inform you that he has chosen peace this morning.' I’m sure it will be received with maturity.”

    Damen looked up, then, and directed the full weight of his smile at Laurent, his eyes crinkling with warmth, the way they always did whenever Laurent made time for him.

    He was fucking ridiculous. Laurent felt himself flush, and did his best to think of cold things.

    “You’re impossible,” Damen said. He sounded so happy.

    Laurent turned to his coffee machine. He didn’t know why Damen bothered with it. “And yet,” Laurent said, “remarkably consistent.”

    "I think," Damianos said softly, "that you have not been treated the way you deserve."

    For the first time in his life, Laurent did not know what to say back.
