Also, i've no idea about Ancient Egypt wedding customs and tradition, so i just...went with a different way of marraige, bonding and whatever. I like this way cause, well its pretty. XD lol
''Where is she'' He grumbled to himself, walking about his home in search of the female who kept running. He'd been searching for his future wife all day, and when he did actually find her...
She bolted away.
It was like a giant game to her, ghostly giggling could be heard when he was close. He wanted to say it annoyed him, but it really didn't. There she was again, Running out from behind a pillar and disappearing around a corner.
Ahkmenrah exhaled before it turned into a light chuckle as the slapping of small feet on the marble floor grew faint and off he was, running after her and hopefully finding her this time. He was in the midst of trying to figure out where she went when a shriek rang out.
''GUARDS!'' Her voice screamed from afar, the sheer panic in her tone frightened Ahkmenrah on what possibly made her scream for the Guards. At first his steps were slow, his mind processing slowly that she could be in danger; it wasn't the first time someone had snuck into the palace somehow and tried to kill one of the royal family members.
Ahkmenrah turned into a doorway, The entrance to the gardens was where Nefertari was running through when she had been stopped. He'd run in to see her lying on her back, spear from a nearby statue in her hands to block the attack of the assassin's Khopesh. Her face scrunched up, trying to force the attacker of off her and grunting when she managed it.
He didn't expect it, Most females he had met would scream and run if faced with an assassin. His bride to be was now standing on her feet, spear pointed at the assassins neck as the Guards flooded the room. Nefertari dropped the spear, breathing heavily from shock, she had never been a target before, she was always so kind to everyone; including the slaves.
The Guards had forced the assassin up on his feet, Dragging him away as Ahkmenrah ran to comfort his friend. ''Are you alright'' Nefertari hummed and nodded rapidly, leaning into Ahkmenrah's touch.
''But why me?'' She wondered. Ahkmenrah stayed silent, he didn't know how to answer it; he could hardly believe someone didn't like her to the point where they would try to kill her, Everyone loved Nefertari. She was as pure as Khonsu's light and just as beautiful.
''Come..'' He whispered, sliding an arm around her shoulders. ''You should lie down. Lets go to the gardens'' Though she wanted to speak out that she wasn't so weak that she needed to lie down, but she didn't want to argue with him. She simply wanted to relax with him.
So they sat in the Gardens, Not on a bench like they would usually do. Instead they laid on the green grass, staring up at the sky. Ahkmenrah had long since figured out why Nefertari liked the gardens so much, A whole bunch of colours in a land full of sand under the hot sun. Despite how hot it always was, the grass was always cool, and she would always be there during a hot day.
''One year'' She whispered. Ahkmenrah turned his head to look at her, though she was still staring at the clear blue sky. He knew what she was talking about, the both of them were nervous, but at the same time, slightly excited.
One Year Later
She was sat on the edge of her bed, the bed that she would be sleeping in no longer. She had turned twenty two a week ago, Ahkmenrah turned Twenty three a couple of weeks before and it was time.
She was already situated in her dress, Long and white with a golden sash around the middle, a golden collar curling around her neck. Her hair had been styled and just now had a Diadem been placed on top. She was so nervous that she wanted to hide under the bed and never come out, But she did love Ahkmenrah; there was no doubt about it.
The past week, she had been running around and preparing, she hardly even saw Ahkmenrah. He saw her though, Smiling in the distance as he watch her smile and arrange what she wanted; he had no say in the matter, not that he wanted to.
It was purely her choice, the people present, the ceremony, the dress and location. He wanted everything to reflect who she was as a person, so what better than to give her the reigns? Ahkmenrah loved Nefertari and loved seeing her happy, if she needed help to reach something high above, he would get on his hands and knees just so she could stand on his back to reach what ever she wanted.
That was how much he loved her. That was when she knew the extent of his love was limitless, when a prince gets to the ground for the woman he loved, it is pure and true. And now here she was, shaking like a scared little kitten as she was escorted to the Gardens.
It was where she chose, where she wanted to be married; Her favourite place. There were hardly any people there either, she didn't want a huge ceremony, no large party or gatherings. It was just her parents and his, and few of her most trusted servants and friends.
The people she cared about most, that was who she wanted present on the biggest day of her life. The clothing was none too fancy either, she wasn't a fan of fancy so the clothes were just a little more...prettier than what she would normally diadem was the only thing she would not usually wear, The golden eagle head piece with a blue crystal gem sitting between her eyebrows.
Ahkmenrah was still wearing his usual, The pleated kilt, shoulder cape, wide collar and his deshret. It was just a small, quiet wedding, and she was loving every second. They both stood facing each other, hands clasped as a red satin ribbon was wound around their joined hands; Another factor she chose. She wanted this instead of a normal ceremony, she loved to be different.
No words were said, they didn't need words. Whatever needed saying could be read in their eyes and their eyes only ever told each other three words: I love you. Ahkmenrah smiled, leaning down and pressing his lips sweetly against hers.
''One'' she mumbled, mid kiss.
Ahkmenrah almost burst into laughter, but instead smiled wider and said, ''Two''
''...Three'' and just like that first day, they ran off, leaving their parents to stare. Their joined laughter could be heard as they ran, getting fainter as they got further away. It was evident to both pairs of parents, that no matter how old they would get, they'd still act like children.
''We just ran out on our own wedding. Why did we do that again?'' He grinned down at his best friend and wife.
''Well, i don't know about you.'' She smiled, pulling him towards the part of the garden that had been grown specifically at her request ''But this day is supposed to be all about us and only us.''
''So, Where are you leading me this time?''
Nefertari grinned, pulling out of his reach. ''Well my love, you'll just have to chase me and find out'' And with that, She ran off. Ahkmenrah huffed out a chuckle and did indeed chase after her.
It had been their whole life. Just him, chasing after her and of course he wouldn't have had it any other way. He continued to chase after her, The guards merely ignoring their antics as they had been doing for years. Nefertari was always very fast, so light and quick on her feet like the cats that roamed the palace halls. She turned various corners and it was slowly becoming clear, as to where she was leading him.
He turned into the room she had just now disappeared into and of course, it was his room. She sat in the middle of the large bed, her golden sash and collar she had once been wearing were carelessly thrown to the floor. She was smiling but there definitely something shining in her eyes and he wasn't completely sure what it was.
The door behind him had been closed, assuming by guards under Nefertari's order to do so.
At least he wasn't in the dark long when she outstretched her arms towards him, still smiling. His feet moved automatically, as if being pulled in by rope; when he was close, her hands dropped and curled into the to of his pleated kilt. Her intentions becoming clearer than crystal.
She had always been blunt, but never with these particular situations. She was always very shy but now, it seemed she was over it. In the confines of their bedroom, she pulled on the shendyt which had immediate results of the falling nature.
Ahkmenrah's mind had wandered back quickly to catch himself, Resting on his hands and knees with a wife staring up at him. They had darkened considerably and her hands were still tucked into his Shendyt, even on his dark skin, a small pink tint could be seen. To say he'd never thought of Nefertari in regards to this particular moment, would be a lie.
He was a man and he loves her, so it was completely natural to feel and think the things he did. So lost in his nervousness now though, he hadn't even noticed that she had taken a hand away from his Shendyt to remove his deshret from his head.
Though of course, as it always did with her, his nervous feeling was washed away when she kissed him. There was always a certain thrill when he was kissing her, he'd never get tired of it. It was her kisses and her smiles that kept him strong and confident like the prince he was, going through a day and seeing her every minute of it; That was bliss.
Right now was really testing his patience and self control. He had only just married his best friend, a woman he loves and cares for deeply and he didn't want to do anything if she didn't want it either; so he was taking his time. Turning the kiss from how heated She had initiated it, to slow and loving and she didn't protest.
Despite how much she really wanted to lay with her new husband, she also wanted him to take control. She nothing if not a submissive lover, she could never imagine herself any other way. She left him to decided what to do and when to do it, and it wasn't long before he decided that he wanted her dress off.
it was exciting, to feel his hands on her stomach and her hips. Just to feel the heat trailing across her skin and at some point, she had failed to realise he was just as bare as she was. She grew even more excited to see him in such a way, of course she had imagined it many times but had never had thought she'd be this breathless when she actually saw his bare torso; since it had always been partially covered.
The both of them were so intoxicated by the other, the room was hot and passion itself could be felt in the atmosphere. So it was no time at all, when they fell completely under the spell of skin to skin touch, the spoils of love and the pleasure that came with it.
There was no time for sleeping afterward, Though Nefertari had quickly drifted off in the arms of her husband. Ahkmenrah could do nothing but stare. To think how many times, she had come close to being taken by Kahmunrah instead. How his older brother looked at her.
Ahkmenrah made a vow then, whilst staring at the sleeping woman curled into his chest. He'd never allow anyone to hurt her, not assassins, Not his own brother; He'd rather die than she her hurt...
And the deep feeling to protect her, was simply a part of what love is.
