oh my god. Isaak had been putting all the little wire boats, trinkets, and notes on the king's mantle. and when Nikolai saw them? he definitely either wept or felt so fucking guilty.

You're my King (and so much more than that)
Closed starter for @braveandunbreakable
Hidden stares. Tiny gestures. A smile gifted then and there. It was subtle, really, the love that he felt for Nikolai was not to be put into words, into more than simple, mostly meaningless gestures. Fleeting glances, gentle touches then and there. A reassurance. They'd survived the war, they'd lived through the horrors of the Fjerdan machine guns and the Darkling's Nichevo'ya. Isaak couldn't be more proud to be standing here, with the prince having turned into his king, serving him as a guard, the highest honor for a lowly soldier like him. He still couldn't quite believe it. Him here, a commoner at the court, being responsible for the safety of his Tsar. No, Nikolai was so much more than that. A friend. A ... someone who he might consider close. Close enough to kiss, to taste the sweet tang of his lips on his own, run his hand through the marvelous blond locks, get lost in the rough seas of blue that were his eyes. Isaak didn't like to admit it but -
He was hopelessly in love with Nikolai Lantsov.
Isaak straightened when the meeting his Tsar had held with Kerch ambassadors came to a closure, the foreign merchants barely sparing him a glance but he was as tense as ever. He'd let his professionalism slip for the tiniest second to swoon over their King like any maid would when he'd ride out of the gates of Os Alta to inspect towns and villages alike. It was not his right. Nikolai was to be married to a pretty princess who would bless him with many heirs and grant Ravka a stable future. He couldn't fall for an insignificant guard, one of many. Replaceable. A means to an end. He would give his life for Nikolai. Anytime. The King was still in the room, even as the other men had already left with the rest of the guards. It hit him. They were alone. Just him and Nikolai. Isaak breath quickened almost instantly. He was standing at attention, unmoving, barely daring to shift his gaze onto the Tsar. He did it anyway. Nikolai was pale, paler than usual. Exhausted. He seemed so drained. Running this country was taking a toll on him.
They say he's going crazy with weight on his shoulders.
❝Your highness,.... ❞
Isaak spoke up but, shy as he was, didn't find the right words to continue.

ISAAK CANNOT help but return the grin that falls onto the prince's face so naturally. mesmerizing hazel eyes find the pools of brown in his, endless seas of walnut and umber .
❝ i am sure they will find something else to decorate their walls with . ❞
might as well get rid of the current king when they were at it . here he was , thinking of treason again but all he'd ever seen alexander lantsov do was take their crop yield and taxes . he had left his family starving , he was responsible for his father's death , sending him into a war he cannot win earlier only for him to die of an injury YEARS later . isaak KNOWS the same fate will befall him as well IF HE SURVIVES .
❝ so lantsov ... ❞ he says , contemplating each and every word before taking it into his mouth .
❝ try not to D I E on your first patrol , i'd be a shame for your family and i don't want the fjerdans celebrating too much ... ❞
defendrelor:
❝ just yesterday? ❞
ISAAK CANNOT hold back a snort of laughter. the prince was fresh from training and they’d sent him to the FJERDAN FRONT ?
INFANTRY WAS INFANTRY but he’d have expected them to let him try his luck guarding the ports first. an easy task with minimal danger to his life.
❝ well then, welcome to H E L L . ❞
his hand finds the prince’s shoulder before he can even think about what he is doing, giving it a firm pat.
❝ If you die before me, your highness, I promise won’t let the fjerdans take your head as P R I Z E. ❞
THE WEIGHT on his shoulder is familiar and comforting and the morbid promise the boy gives him has nikolai smiling , grinning even , with something nearly manic .
❝ i appreciate that . what a shame to rob the fjerdans of such lovely decoration , ❞ he teases , a spark of mischief in his eye .

ISAAK CANNOT hide his scepticism no matter how hard he tries to. He will get this posh prince to leave him alone eventually - being stuck out here in a tent together with him the freezing wind rattling the barely stable structure and the cold seeping in through the flaps nevertheless.
IT ISN’T personal, he just knows the little Lantsov will turn his back on him the soon he is able to and he’d rather die honorably in battle than murdered in his sleep by Fjerdan raiders.
❝ a few weeks . just finished basic . ❞
THE DISTRUST is in every twitch of his muscle , dripping from every word , and nikolai nearly smiles . well - - good . he hopes this boy never likes him just because he’s a PRINCE . but mark his words , isaak andreyev will like him before their tour is done . he nods in return , rocking forward slightly on the balls of his feet .
❝ oh me too . finished basic , i mean . i just landed out here yesterday . ❞

defendrelor:
ISAAK HAS no way of knowing how different - and yet how alike - both princes were from each other. Whereas Vasily had considered his commission honorary at first and spent weeks wasted in a officer’s tent before deciding to join the KAVALERIYA and do some good for this saintsforsaken country that was Ravka, Nikolai had chosen the arduous path of becoming an infantry soldier. A no one under nobodies.
HE CLAIMS he is no prince here but Isaak knows he is. He carries himself like NOBILITY, he talks like them, looks like them. Yet he offers him a handshake and he can’t help but accept it, firmly, their gazes meeting, honey brown clashing with vivid hazel.
❝ private Isaak Artymovich Andreyev of the 22nd. the honor is all mine. ❞
HE’S NOT sure if he’s imaging the slight challenge isaak’s own returned greeting , but nikolai has decided to accept said challenge , imagined or not . he’s decided he’ll get this suspicious man to like him if it’s the last thing he does .
❝ how long have you been serving , isaak andreyev ? ❞

hc + nikolai 👀
Their first meeting was tense. Isaak had a healthy distaste for royalty of any kind and didn't have not the slightest inclination to change his opinion of them any time soon. However, he realized soon enough that Nikolai wasn't like the rest of them because he cared about his soldiers. He ensured that his regiment came back home safe and sound. Out of admiration and respect grew a deeper connection - or dare I say affection?

frightened, alone.
you are not ready to go. you plead, and cry, but the reaper will not hear you.
