"to be fair i didn't even know royals had coronation parties." alex shouts into the bedroom, whilst shaving his face.

"they don't usually darling, but yet again the last coronation was like 80 years ago, so parties went really big." henry smiles moving into the bathroom, letting his arms sank around alex's waist, his face pressed against his back.

"start a trend huh?" alex smiles, setting the razor down and turning round to face henry, letting the blonde face press against his chest, eyes closed, "tired?" alex whispers kissing the top of henry's head.

"maybe, i don't know. i'm just really happy." henry smiles looking up to peck alex's lips, before walking away, alex's eyes drawn to henry's ass, the blonde only in his boxers.

"you wanna take a picture?" henry chuckles before walking out of alex's eyesight. the brunette chuckles before wiping his face with a towel before moving into the bedroom, seeing henry dressed in white chinos, buttoning a silk patterned shirt.

"i will be taking a picture." alex smiles, quickly snapping a picture in his phone before henry can stop him.

"your actually ridiculous." henry chuckles, shaking his head, mooring to peck alex in the lips, "quickly get ready, i'm going to see bea." he smiles, adding an extra kiss before leaving the bedroom, alex very quickly pulling on black trousers with a light blue shirt, cuffing the sleeves.

he quickly moves to pull some white trainers on, a message coming through from nora.

alex, the media aren't taking henry's coronation well, it's all blowing up.

brows furrowed, he quickly opens up the news app, seeing yet again some old white men commenting on how the king shouldn't be gay. he sighs, throwing his phone into the bed to get his shoes on quickly spraying himself with some aftershave before grabbing his phone and wallet, leaving the bedroom.

he hurries down the corridor, seeing henry's dan bea sat in the living room, ready to leave.

"oh finally, come on boys, time to get drunk." bea chuckles pushing past alex heading towards the car.

"exciting huh?" henry smiles moving to home alex's hand as they make their way out of the palace, ban added by flashing cameras and reporters.

the two boys give a small smile and wave with bea before getting into the black car waiting to take them away to the party.

"where are we even going? i feel like you two planned all of this and i know nothing." alex asks looking between henry and bea.

"we hired out this gorgeous hotel." bea smiles, seeing henry nod.

"strictly guest list only, even though we don't know half the people. but oh well." henry smiles, squeezing alex's hand slightly.

they pull up to the hotel, first ones there to make sure everything is ready for the night. there's an elaborate balloon arch at the entrance dawned on gold and silver balloons of all sizes, waiters stood with trays of champagne and all sorts of cocktails.
continuing on down the corridor they're lead into a huge ballroom all decorated in the colour gold.

"it's not like a serious event is it?" alex whispers, getting nervous at the scale of the party.

"oh god no, don't think there's anyone over thirty coming." henry, laughs turning to face alex, holding both his hands, only for alex's hands to snake round his waist, henry's around his neck, alex gently swaying them.

"you did amazing today, feel like i haven't told you that." alex whispers, gently kiss g under henry's ear.

"i'm just glad you were by my side fiancé." henry whispers, the ending causing the two to laugh, "still not use to that." he smiles, pulling back to look at alex.

"you know there's rumours everywhere." alex asks, seeing henry nod cautiously.

"we'll considering we are wearing the rings, i think people may have picked up on it. But, we still need to officially announce it, royals protocol or something." henry smiles, a small nod from alex.

"speaking of protocol, people will be arriving and we need to greet them." he smiles, walking away leaving alex lost in trance, watching the blonde walk away.

the brunette, left alone, takes a moment to look around the room, remembering what nora had told him. as much as he wants to tell henry, he needs to make sure this night is perfect for him. he takes a deep breath before following henry's path seeing henry at the door with a few others, ready to greet.

henry smiles slightly at him, as alex approached him, not wanting to interrupt the ongoing conversation, not lasting long before the others leave, ready for the guests to arrive.

"so we're just smiling and shaking hands?" alex asks henry laughing.

"or a hug, i mean i don't know most of them but i don't want it to be like serious you know." henry smiles, alex's arm looping over the blondes shoulder.

"what every you want my love." alex smiles, kissing henry's temple.

the night moves on, music blasting, lights flashing and the smell of alcohol and vapes filling the air. the two boys danced in with one another, mostly henry grinding up in alex. carefully holding onto one another, knowing they were both too drunk to stand by themselves.

"imma get a drink, won't be long." henry shouts in alex's ear, trying to get over the music, alex nods moving over next to nora, who is being responsible for once.

henry moves over across to the bar, picking up two vodka cokes, about to make his way back over to alex, suddenly stopping, when he feels a hand on his ass.

he quickly pulls away, turning around to see some guy he's probably met before but can't remember.

"excuse me?" he exlcaims only for the boy to laugh and go to touch henry's critic, getting close, before the blonde, pulls away again, the guy swiftly walking away laughing.

he takes a deep breath, spotting his fiancé again, moving over to him.

"thank you hen." alex smiles, peck of henry's lips before taking one of the drinks, his free hand around henry's waist, bodies close.

"hey can we get going soon, feeling a bit tired." henry asks, alex's brows furrowing but nods, considering it's quite possibly 3am.

the two boys finish their drinks, swiftly saying goodbye to nora, june and percy before hurrying off in a car, back to the palace.

"you alright baby?" alex asks, concerned as he feels henry scooch closer to him in the car.

"you, just tired." henry nods, too scared to tell alex what happened to the worry that alex will actually kill someone.
