let's get married

Months past. Though prince keystone brought two chest of gold to the house that was questionable.

Loren and nate didn't slack off.

Loren learned the art of blacksmithing in unknown and also helped with forging of swords when he wasn't in battle.

He met someone who was the same age as him. The person was called akell. He was the son of a late blacksmith. His father was one of the best blacksmith in the south province. But unfortunately his son's skills in blacksmithing were mediocre.

Not until loren met him and they worked together. Loren didn't use his real name. He changed his name to edis.

Nate didn't work under anybody. He and kresna carried their supplies as they performed physician services at the road side and at their patients home service.Him and kresna always wore a hat with a veil.prince nate went by his  late brother's name,kylis.

Around their house on the shore , he grew different herbs. As buying them everytime he wants to make use of it was expensive.

The house was very far from the town. They had to go to the town on their horses.

They were not making much money but they were still contented.

Kresna became 9 and they celebrated it.Nate stared at her as he wished that his late brother,prince kylis,was still alive to watch his daughter grow.

***********************************

It was night.

Loren leaned his back on the wall while he sat on the grass in front of the house and nate sat in the middle of his legs as he rested his body on loren while loren arms were around him.

Nates eyes were closed but he wasn't asleep.Being in loren arms made him feel like he and loren were the only ones in the world.

It was nate's birthday.He turned 20.Loren was already 20,he was months older than nate.

"Nate",loren called in a low voice.

"Huh",nate answered with his eyes closed.

"Can I ask you something" loren asked,sounding worried.

Nate felt the worry in his voice,so he opened his eyes and turned his head to loren,what bothers you,my lover",he asked in a low voice,concerningly.

Loren gazed at him and  hesitated before he spoke," Do you want to go back to the palace?".

" No,I like being here with you",he answered softly.

Loren tilted his head and placed a kiss on nate's lips," what about princess kresna?",he asked while his lips were still closed to nate's.

" She stays where I stay",nate answered and loren placed another kiss on his lips and pulled away.

Loren caressed nate's cheek,"It feels like am falling in love with you over and over again.I may not be able to give you the expensive life you lived in the palace,are you okay with that?".

Nate smiled,"am okay with that".

Loren placed another kiss on nate's lips while his arm was around nate's waist.

"So you like the life we're living?",loren asked.

"I have no complains about it,you don't need to worry, loren",Nate put his arms around loren's neck as he stared at him, reassuring him.

It started snowing and they both looked at the snow.it was the first snow.

Loren placed another kiss on his lips and pulled away," Then",he hesitated as he stared into nate's eyes," do you......,want to be with me forever?".

Nate was silent after he spoke.

Loren removed something from his money  pouch and opened his hands.

Nate stared at his hands shocked.it was a pair of golden rings.

" Am asking you to marry me,nathius",loren said as he anticipated nate's answer but nate was silent.

Nate heart was racing.He had never thought that loren will proposed to him.He had wished for it to happen but he knew it couldn't be possible in the era they lived in.

Loren was dejected as he hunged his head down,"it's okay,I knew it was a stupid ,i_____".

"I will", nate stared at loren "I will,even if it's just us that know about it,I will marry you,loren",nate smiled.

Loren felt relieved. He closed his eyes while he leaned in to nate's face and  leaned his forehead on nate's forehead.

He leaned out and smiled and nate,"I'll give you later when I make it into a necklace".

Nate stood up and stretched his hand to loren,"take my hand, my betrothed".

Loren smiled at him as he held nate's hand and stood up.

They held each other's hand as nate took him to their bedchamber and closed the door.

"Let's marry,here and now",nate said,taking loren by surprise." I can't remember the exact things that are said but am sure what I'll say it's related.

Nate held loren's hands while he stared at him, "loren sorock, do you take  nathius merve as your husband?,love him in good and bad health,in bad and good times,when poor or rich and forever be with him".

"Am sure you are the wife, but don't worry, yes I do",loren said as he smiled at nate.

"Nathius merve, do you take loren sorock as your wife?".

They both chuckled and loren continued,"love him in good and bad health,in bad and good times,when poor or rich and forever be with him?".

"I do",nate said as he smiled.

"Two souls become one and the bond shall never be broken",loren and nate said as they put their rings on each other fingers.

"What next?",loren said as he smiled at him.

Nate walked to the dressing table and opened a box that was on top of  the dressing table.

"Olive oil bottles,i see",loren nodded.

Nate smirked,"You  know, I have been about this for a long time.I didn't know how to tell you about it,but now is a good timing.

He walked to loren and put his arms around his neck,"I'll like to  try something new with you.I can't assure you that it won't hurt.But I know you are strong".

Loren had no idea what he was talking about but he smiled,"anything you want,my love".

"First,let's remove our clothes",nate said as he pressed his lips on loren's and they opened their mouth to explore each other mouth.
