victor   is   quite   literally   everything   he   was   taught   not   to   be like   ,   a   bit   of   a   charming   troublemaker   with   a   perchance   for   breaking   the   rules.   he   follows   the   beat   of   his   own   drum   &   does   what   he   needs   to   do   in   order   to   survive   ,   wearing   a   perfectly   crafted   mask   that   seems   to   be   uncaring   of   what   others   think   ,   but   deep   down   ,   theo   is   sure   he   does.   it's   been   truly   enjoyable   spending   one   on   one   time   with   him   as   of   late   ,   thankful   that   his   friend   had   introduced   them   at   that   party   ages   ago.   what   started   out   as   an   awkward   introduction   has   turned   into   .   .   .      something   that   keeps   bringing   him   back   ,   unable   to   resist   that   tug   he   feels   whenever   he's   near   the   taller   man   ,   despite   everything   in   his   heart   &   mind   telling   him   he   should   be   wary.   his   upbringing   ,   specifically   his   aunt   &   uncle's   words   ,   have   been   so   embedded   into   his   head   that   he   can   still   hear   their   voices   whispering   in   his   ear to cease this infatuation.   he   won't   let   their   old   fashioned   ways   ruin   the   happiness   he's   managed   to   find   away   from   ardenia   ,   especially   when   he's   finding   himself   teetering   beyond   the   realm   of   ❛   like   ❜   when   it   comes   to   victor   conley.   the   former   prince   has   never   been   in   love   ,   but   maybe   .   .   . he   could   fall   for   a   man   like   him.

victor   drags   himself   into   the   kitchen   in   search   of   something   to   drink   in   his   usually   empty   fridge   , & the sight alone has   theo   smiling   from   ear   to   ear.   he   watches   onward   as   victor   eventually finds   a   milk   carton   to   drink   from   ,   only   deciding   to   check   the   date   of   said   drink   after   already   taking   a   swig.   ❝   expiration   dates   are   for   the   weak.   ❞   he   says   confidently to the former prince   ,   &   all   theo   can   do   is   laugh in pure delight.   still   in   his   underwear   ,   hair   messy   from   the   night   before   ,   he   makes   his   way   into   the   kitchen   in   order   to   investigate   the   milk   himself.   the   expiration   date   is   scratched   off   the   carton   ﹙   how   convenient   ﹚   ,   but   the   milk   itself   seemed   to   smell   fine   ━━   a   risky   choice   drinking   it   without   certainty   ,   but   that   was   just   victor.   he   lived   life   on   the   edge.   ❝   perhaps   i   should   do   a   taste   test   just   to   make   sure   you   won't   be   sick   later.   ❞   before   allowing   the   taller   man   to   say   anything   in   protest   ,   theo   then   reaches   over   to   cup   victor's   cheek   &   caress   the   soft   skin   he   finds   with   loving   intention   ,   taking   the   moment   to   gaze   at   him   fondly   before   his   thumb   swipes   along   his   bottom   lip   ,   cleaning   the   remnants   of   the   milk   with   graceful   ease.   he   then   takes   a   moment   to   lick   off   the   contents   off   his   thumb   in   full   view   for   his   friend's   ﹙   ?   ﹚   delight   ,   thoughtfully   considering   the   taste   before   finally   smiling   & nodding in approval.   ❝   seems   alright   with   me.   i   think   you'll   live   to   tell   the   tale   later.   ❞   he   winks   ,   his   hand   moving   back   to   gently   pat   his   cheek.   ❝   i   don't   think   there's   enough   to   make   pancakes   from   it   ,   so   i   suppose   some   eggs   &   bacon   will   have   to   do.   how   do   you   want   your   eggs   done   ,   darling   ?   ❞ he's already moved into the kitchen , curious how his earlier actions are affecting him. what can he say ? he learned from the best. ❝ do   let   me   know   when   you're   done   staring   at   me   ━━   i'm   not   due   to   rehearsal   until   later   tonight   ,   so   i   have   all   the   time   in   the   world   for   you.   ❞
