Okay. The long paragraphs of italics in this chapter indicates a dream. This chapter explains their relationship/how the fell in love/ect. It's mainly a dream/memory Yao has in his sleep. Enjoy~!
"Ivan...Our King is angered with you...Why did you tell him about us?" The young, newly positioned Jack sighed, clinging to the Clubs King. Ivan only shook his head saddened. "I-I don't know..." the larger man replied sadly. The trees around them rustled in the wind, reminding the couple that they were in a safe place. The only place in the entire land that they could be together. The Trump Orchids. Yao only shook his head and hugged the other. "There's going to be trouble.." The Spade mumbled, nuzzling into the King's chest. Ivan smiled, gently hugging the smaller man. "Do not worry...I will protect you." He reassured, grinning calmly. "Ivan...Why do you love me? I'm the lowest Royal class and even a different suit!" Yao whimpered out of confusion. Ivan only hugged the other closer and hummed. "You know I loved you before The Great Reshuffle*...Our kingdom, or even Suite is not going to tear us apart." The King mumbled soothingly.
The bright sun began to flood the Spade Castle, peeking it's way into the Jack of Spade's room through the window. Yao woke up with a lonely sigh and a yawn. Stretching his stiff limbs. 'Judging on the earliness, The King and Queen are probably asleep' He thought, getting up from his plush bed. He quickly put on his royal Spade robes, then made his way downstairs. He grinned, his prediction correct. A few servants and butlers were walking about the main corridor, cleaning or preparing for the daily events. Yao greeted a few of them as he walked to the dining hall, quickly catching the aroma if freshly prepared food, and lots of it. Perhaps the banquet was for the warriors who invaded the Diamond land successfully? Or for the Hearts aiding them in battle? Yao didn't care which happened. He only wanted Ivan safe and successful. He then approached the large arrangement of various foods on the buffet table. His appetite would be strong if it wasn't for the dream he had the following night that only made him miss the King of Clubs even more. He then exited the dining hall and made his way to the Spades Royal Garden. Once there, he sat down on a stone bench, gazing idly at the frost covered grass. Yao was then pulled from his thoughts as a small bird landed on his shoulder with a loud tweet, dropping a letter onto Yao's lap. He grinned and opened it, instantly knowing it belonged to Ivan.
"Yao,
What you said was right. The Spades invaded the Diamond's land, then us. We were ready, thankfully. Though, our Lead Admiral was killed in battle. Things may not be good for us later on. On the other hand, our Queen and Jack are in a romantic relationship with each other. Now she's not complaining about me being with you. Anyway, I want you to know that I love you more than life as I know it. And also, Once sun sets, I want you to meet me at the Trump Orchids, I'll be waiting.
With much Love-
King of Clubs, Ivan Braginski"
Yao smiled, his cheeks flushed pink. Excitement made his heart beat faster as he nearly skipped to the dining hall.
