    Summary

    Pain makes itself present just behind Kalim’s ribs, stinging horribly with every joyous round of laughter he hears. It beats faster than normal, slamming against the front of his chest in a way that he can hear it in his ears. If he didn’t know better, Kalim might worry that everyone in the palace could hear it too.

    or

    Jamil pretends to be in love with an assassin to take her out. Kalim doesn't know this. Angst ensues.

    Summary

    Sweat beaded on his forehead, as Jamil’s head conjured up countless emotions regarding Kalim.

    He knows it could always be worse. He knows he could have been sworn to serve a jaded, cynical spoiled brat who treated Jamil like the servant he is. Kalim could have been anyone, any other ridiculously privileged heir with too much time and money on their hands, someone who knew how to make Jamil’s life truly miserable.

    But instead, he was given Kalim. Someone so kind, so full of pure, unadulterated love, that sometimes Jamil doesn’t feel worthy to gaze upon him with eyes such as his. Eyes that have held such misplaced hatred for someone so wholly good, in the very essence of the word.

    In that sense, Kalim feels like a gift.

    Like a treasure, a hoard of gold given heart and mind and a smile to make the sun feel dim.

     

    Or: Through trial and tribulation, Jamil Viper finally comes to terms with the fact that he, despite everything, loves Kalim Al-Asim.

    Summary

    Unable to stop himself, nothing short of entranced by the sheer degree of his relief, Jamil padded into the heir’s room after softly shutting the door. Taking a final appreciative once over of the snoozing boy, Jamil sank down and crawled into bed with Kalim.

    Such an action is not new, not unfamiliar, but to say Jamil’s craving the intimate, routine comfort right now would be the understatement of the century.

    He snuggled up to Kalim’s side, resting his head and neck on the housewarden’s outstretched arm. Jamil focused on Kalim, on the warmth of his skin and the tranquil rise and fall of his chest. On how he's smiling a bit, even in his sleep.

    He's here. Thank the Seven, he's still here.

    It's the dead of night, but Jamil swears he saw rays of sunshine peak through the velvet curtains.

     

    Or: After a particularly vivid nightmare in which Kalim ceased to be, Jamil comes to realize that he is, truly, living the dream.

While everything is normal and happy on the surface, Jamil's instincts tell him that something happened to Kalim while he was away. Why won't anyone tell him anything?
