Song - Little Miss Perfect (Aka my fav song, and the song I actually relate Liam(Lia-) with the most, for no reason in particular.)

Also the Lumity Anthem- .-.

~~~Liam's P.O.V~~~

I sat in my bedroom. I was worried yet again. Then again.. When wasn't I? Ryan was honestly the biggest mystery I've ever seen.

I didn't know what to ever make of him. Then again... he wasn't the one in the wrong here. I offered everything too fast. I offered an entire future for him... a future he never asked for...

Oh my god..

I tightly gripped my hair, mumbling every swear I knew.

I just tried to place a crown on his head. I just tried to shackle him to the royal line. To me!

I slowly fell on my bed with a big sigh. "Fucking hell.." I mumbled, shaking my head. 

~~~A Couple of Days Later~~~

I was worried. Really, really worried.

Ryan stopped talking to me. Letters? Nah. Visits? Ha! Random meetings? Nada. Nothing, nope, nada.

Well...

Only one thing, that I could confirm was him. The flowers I got every day. A white rose one day. A buttercup the next. Hibiscus's another day.

That was it that I could get. Never the same flowers. A different one each day.

That was the only thing that worried me. Though I didn't have time to worry about it. I sighed a bit pacing around my room. Today was the actual day. I wasn't happy though.

Not one bit.

"Leeeeeeeeeeee!" I heard someone walking in, turning towards Toni and Charlie walking in.

"Hey guys.." I mumbled.

"You excited..?" Toni asked gently grabbing me by my shoulders. I slightly nodded my head. I didn't want to stress how much I was... well stressed.

"Hey... Look at me..?" Toni asked gently.

I sighed before turning my head towards her. "Mm...?" 

"He's going to show up, Liam.."

I nodded my head before pulling up a small smile. "Alright.. well I'm going to need to you to get out, I have to get ready." 

I felt Charlie wrap me into a hug before, Toni joined. "Love for my brother!" Toni mumbled.

"Love for my best friend!"

"I-... I am being suffocated." 

The both giggled before pulling away from the hug, walking out of room shutting the door behind them. I thought about what Toni said. Obviously, he would come... but I doubted that..

I knew he wouldn't come because I know him. He doesn't want me to ask again.

I sighed walking to my dresser pulling out a black box. Slowly opening it. I remembered when I actually got it. I sighed a bit in thought.

"Alright out of all of these rings which one do you like the most, Toni..?" I asked gently.

"Why do you care again..?"

"You know why..! I want everything to be perfect when I ask.." I sighed a bit brushing my fingers against the rings. Some a pearly silver. Others pure gold. Though I knew one stood out to me the most. I saw Toni's eyes look at it before she turned back to me.

"Why are you actually asking me Liam..? You already got your eyes on a ring." She said pulling out the one that I had been eyeing.

I slowly took the ring from her hand. A pure black tungsten ring. Two incredibly small gems on both sides. A aquamarine and a emerald. A thin web of green tying the gems together. I smiled at the ring.

"I don't know... I assumed you would try to talk me out of this choice.." I explained placing the ring in a pure black box, tightly wrapping my hands around it.

"Why would I do that?" She asked resting her head on her palms.

"I don't know... I just assumed you would." I shrugged.

"You know I would never do that."

I slowly snapped the box closed as I heard the knocking on the door. 

"Liam...? Honey..? It's almost time.." I saw Mom at the door with a smile as she walked inside. I pulled a smile walking towards her. 

I saw her eyes narrow at the box, before she turned to me with a wider smile. "Who might the lucky guy be..?" She asked. 

"Oh... Um... Girl or Guy right..?"

I saw her expression become more confused. "... Oh, Joel-.. I mean your father and I just assumed..." She answered before shaking her head. "Well, whoever it happens to be.. I hope all goes well Liam.." She said placing a kiss on my forehead.

I nodded my head before she said to make my way downstairs soon, before leaving. I sighed a bit pulling on a navy blue suit coat. 

I took one last look at the mirror my eyes landing on something stuck in front of a picture. My eyes widened as I took the note reading it.

'I know, before you get mad at me for actively ignoring you, but I did need time to think.

I want you to know that I'll be here, with you every step of the way. Maybe not in the role you want, but definitely here. I love you, so much.

-R

I stared down at the note. He was going to be here... maybe.

~~~

I stood worriedly behind closed doors. I tightly messed with the sleeve of my coat.

I was scared.

No.

I was terrified.

I sighed a bit as I heard the changing in a tune. I hated how official it was. Though I shook my head as the doors opened. I looked over at the sea of people that filled the great hall. I held my head high as I could as I walked forward making eye contact with as many people as possible. 

As I got closer to the head of the church, I saw my family standing there with smiles on their faces. My parents looking prouder than ever. Toni with her arms crossed. She shook her head, before smiling. Kiran and Ryder too young to really understand what was happening.

Jeremy stood beside Toni with a smile, he nodded at me. I sucked in my breath seeing Ryan standing close with my family. He gave me the faintest smile ever before nodding his head towards the front of the church. 

I smiled before continuing as I made it to the front. I slowly bowed my head down, taking a deep breath.

"Are you, Liam Lunetta-Carlos, willing to take this oath?"

"I am willing."

"Do you vow to uphold the laws and honor of Axamedian all the days of your life, governing your people according to their traditions and customs?"

"I do."

"And do you vow to protect the interests of Axamedian, both at home and abroad?"

"I do."

"And do you vow to use your power and placement to bring mercy and justice for all Axamedian's people?"

"I do."

As my final words were spoken I felt the priest place the crown on my head as I turned towards the people. A young boy held out two items. I slowly took the orb in my right hand and the scepter in my left.

I looked out at everyone as they looked back at me. I tightly gripped the scepter, as I locked eyes with Toni.

She rolled her eyes before speaking in a loud voice.

"Que Dieu sauve le roi!"

I heard the quiet mumbles, before a loud knock of a staff hit the floor. That was the effect. Everyone in any language they could said the same words.

"God save the king!"

I felt small tears well in my eyes before smiling widely.

~~~

The crown got heavy after a while. So badly I wanted to throw it across the room, but I just became the symbol of this kingdom. Might as well not take it down so quickly

I walked around the room with a smile. Holding a glass of champagne that I said I would drink, but would always get cut off by people asking me to dance.

Horrible choice really, because I couldn't dance even if my life depended on it.

I felt someone tightly grab my hand pulling me towards the center of the room. "H-Hey..!"

"Heh, sorry!" I looked at the girl who had just interrupted my actual attempt at trying to drink.

Princess Theodosia of the Isle of Incas.

"No harm done, except for the glass of course." I deadpanned. 

She giggled a bit. "May I warn you, I cannot dance."

"Neither can I, to be honest. I just wanted to talk." She said pulling her hands away from mine.

"Good, I won't have to embarrass myself." I smiled a bit. "What did you want to talk about exactly..?"

She smiled handing me a slip of paper. "An offer, an alliance perhaps. I know our kingdoms have been on the edge. We have faith with this family. Don't tear it apart." She answered, gently kissing my cheeks before walking away.

I stared at the paper in my hands shoving it in my pocket before I felt someone grab my arm.

I turned seeing Toni with a smile. "Heyyyyyy!!" 

"Please tell me you aren't drunk."

"Mm, no. Not yet, at least." She winked before pulling me out of the center of the room.

"Where are we going this time..?"

"Just introducing you to someone."

"I swear if it's another girl looking for a relationship, I will actually impale myself." I said. I haven't seen Ryan yet. Considering he was the only one I wanted to see right now, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"No, It's a friend of Jer's." She said pulling me forward to a guy taking to Jeremy.

"Michael Mell. Pleasure to meet you, your Majasty." He said bowing.

"No need to greet me formally." I said shaking his hand before seeing him. Of course he would be in the corner of the room avoiding everyone. 

"Could you excuse me..?"

"Oh yeah, of course."

"Thank you.." I nodded walking towards the table grabbing two glasses of champagne, walking towards Ryan.

"Ahem.." I cleared my throat as I stood beside him. He turned to me lowering his glass.

"Do I need to bow..?"

"Nah, I can't stand people doing it. To be completely honest."

"Make that your first order of business, then." He said taking a sip from his glass.

"I didn't think you'd already have a drink, I did bring you something" I said holding out the glass.

"You're sweet, love. Though not a big fan of the taste of champagne." He said taking one glass from me placing it back on the table.

"So what are you drinking..?" I asked, taking a sip from my own drink.

"Whiskey, what else do you expect me to be drinking?"

"Fair point." He answered taking a sip.

I sipped my drink, not exactly enjoying the taste but It beat just holding it pretending to be all formal.

"I'm proud of you, love.." He turned to me gently placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Really..?"

"Mhm, always have been." He said gently wrapping his arm around me.

I smiled a bit before finishing my glass placing it on a nearby table. I offered my hand.

"Could I have this dance..?"

He nodded his head hesitantly gently taking my hand. I slowly took him towards the center. He took my hand wrapping the other around my waist.

"I didn't think you'd come... to be honest.." I said as we slowly started to dance.

"I wouldn't miss the biggest day in your life, Liam." He said gently kissing my head.

"... Ryan.. I'm sorry.." I said as we stopped moving.

"... For what..?" He asked staring down at me.

"For trying to shackle you to me... to all of this.." I said as he lead me me to the entrance of the hall standing at the doors.

"I only said what I said because I was... as stupid as it is... I was scared of this... losing you to the throne.."

"What do you mean..?"

"I'm afraid you'll give... me up for the throne," He stated weakly. "For the crown.."

I sighed a bit as we made it outside the door. I took of my crown holding it the side, dropping it on the ground.

"Ryan. I'm not like power hungry princes. I'm nothing like them. I can still give it all up.. sure it'll be a massive blow to the family, but if it'll prove that I love you without a shadow o-"

"No no no, that's not what I mean," He started picking up the crown, holding it out to me. "... Liam, I was afraid because I thought you'd change your mind about being gay... or... I don't know..."

I held the crown tightly in my hand before grabbing his hand leading him towards a mirror. "I'm not them. I'm not the straight guy with perfect track record. I'm none of that. I'm not a little prissy perfect prince. Far from it. I'm stupid, and a weirdo. Though... I mean it all when I say... I want you to my king."

I gently placed my crown on his head, adjusting it a little. "All I've ever wanted was you. I don't care if you aren't fit for it. I think you'd make a wonderful addition to the royal line."

He stared at himself in the mirror, his expression perplexed.

"... Are you sure this is what you want..?" He said.

I nodded my head pulling out the box, opening it. "I mean everything I'm saying. I want you here with me. Always. I will do everything to make it possible, and whoever you want by your side here as well, whether it by your sister or any other friends. I'll let them here as well. Anything you want. You can have. All I ask... is that you be mine.."

He stared at the ring in my hands. He slowly removed the crown from his head placing it on a nearby table before wrapping his arms tightly kissing me gently.

I felt my eyes widen as I gently kissed back before he pulled away. 

"... If you'll have me, I'd love to be yours..."

"Say it.."

"Liam.."

"Please..."

"... Yes. Yes I want it. Yes I want you." He said gently kissing me again.

I smiled a bit sliding the ring on his finger before wrapping my arms tightly around him. "I love you, Ry.."

"I love you, too Lee.." He mumbled.

"Ready to go back out there and face the drunk people..?" He asked gently.

"No, but It'll all be over away." I said gently kissing his nose. I felt him place the crown back on my head before we walked back into the room.

"Alright, Alrighttttt! A toast to the king!" I heard Toni say as she grabbed onto my hand.

"Please stop talking, your drunk."

"Tipsy."

"Go to bed, Toni. Plus the celebration will be over soon."

"Oh it's already over, Mom and Dad decided to end it a bit earlier." She motioned her hands to the empty ball room, only holding our family and close friends

I was so thankful in that moment.

"Which reminds me.. Mom, Dad..?" I said gently grabbing Ryan's hand.

"Mm..?"

"I... um.. Wanted to introduce you to my fiance.." I said letting Ryan step forward.

He bowed a bit. "Your Majesty.." He greeted, tightly gripping my hand.
