prompt: fantasy/fairytale AU
Theirs was not the typical fairytale, although it does start with 'once upon a time' and ends with 'and they lived happily ever after'.
Most fairytales include a prince and a princess separated by obstacles, be it a dragon, an evil queen, a wicked witch, or another prince or princess as a rival for affection. It wouldn't matter in the end, because in the end, their love for each could conquer it all.
Magic or no, their certainty in their love is far stronger than anything the world can throw their way.
Once upon a time the crowned prince Blaine fell in love with a young blue-eyed man. Their love was one for the ages, the kind of story told from generation to generation. Prince Blaine would do anything for his love and he did, leaving behind his home to go to the blue-eyed man's kingdom. This is the part where we leave of with a, 'and they lived happily ever after' but they didn't. The epic romance has lost its magic and left in its wake was a pair of broken hearts.
Years have passed and Blaine (he had given up his title when he decided to follow his heart) no longer aspires for that storybook romance he once believed in. This was the real world and true love doesn't just come knocking on your door. He was content with the life he has made in this kingdom. He made friends, and though it could never come close to what he had in his old life, it was still something he treasures.
Little does Blaine know that his happily ever after did come knocking- well, pounding- on his door one spring afternoon.
"There is no dragon?" A tall man with chestnut hair and green eyes asked the moment Blaine pulled the door open.
"I beg your pardon?" Blaine asked taken aback by the strange question and the seriousness behind it.
"Blaine Anderson. Ser Sebastian Smythe. Where is the dragon?"
He took the offered hand and shook it, shooting a look that is a mixture of curiosity and amused affection at Sebastian.
"A knight in shining armor come to rescue me? Does that make me the damsel in distress?"
"I came to slay the dragon and bring you back home." Sebastian said, inconspicuously trying to look behind Blaine as though Blaine was hiding the dragon in his house.
"I don't think we have any dragons at the moment. You can come back some other time if it pleases you." Blaine said, tone light and teasing.
Sebastian's expression as he decides whether Blaine was joking or not, made him grin wider. He impulsively pressed into Sebastian's personal space, and standing on his tip toes whispered to Sebastian's ear, "Thank you, but I can slay my own dragons."
This is where the 'once upon a time' of their story starts.
