Royal AU x Locked in a Room

Keke I'm assuming you're asking for boy king au? 🤭🤭 I feel like they often get locked in rooms together because everyone is so done with their bickering. Like oh noooo we lost the key, you guys are gonna have to wait in there. Together. Alone. Unfortunately the locksmith lives across Vienna. Btw he’s scared of horse carriages. Oh no.  Don’t worry, Mark makes sure to lock them in a room with a notable lack of sharp objects. I think when they’re away from everyone else, away from their situation, they feel a lot more comfortable with each other. They’re stuck in a room for the foreseeable future with no one else watching, what is the real point of putting up a front anymore in this situation; this is the man they’re going to be stuck with forever after all, just not in the confines of this specific room. They are both a very specific breed of ultra competitive and devoted, so even though they’re having a perfectly “normal” conversation about literature they enjoyed(Fernando: Machiavelli’s The Prince, he says it's a very good, relatable and interesting guide. Seb: Don Quixote, he told Fernando it reminds him of a certain someone), to everyone outside, it’s like “oh god what is that muffled yelling, are they scuffling???” When they’re not being scrutinized by the rest of the palace and court, I think they can have very calm constructive conversations about running the kingdom(no matter how seemingly competitive they sound.)  Also even if Seb cares less about image than Fernando, I think he still definitely puts up a front, it’s just a lot less negative than Fernando; so this situation gives them a situation where they can be their most free and open selves. Yeah yeah they spend time alone together often, like in their bedchamber, but that still has a notable time limit most of the time, and technically one of them could just dip at any moment. So everytime they get conveniently stuck in a room, they come out of it a lot closer and a lot more aligned, and a lot more fond of each other. I say “come out of the room” but more often than not, they’re found passed out, cuddled together on some surface, the furniture and their clothes in disaray. I’ll leave it up to your imagination how they ended up there, and what their state of undress is 🤭

#i could be more dirty with this but i feel very deeply thoughful rn skjldskj #I saw this prompt and of course had THOUGHTS #but yeah genuinely no matter the au i think you could stick them in a room and i think they'd come out of it better and closer than before #it gives them a chance away from whatever situation is at hand and they're forced to see the other just for themselves yknow?? #also the book choices are so funny to me #idk i constantly think abt fernando reading machiavelli. especially in this au #him and seb would just have the most intense convos abt it #seb: i think its satire actually. fernando: nah its a guide. i try to follow it as close as possible #<- as if he isnt a huge softy at heart and all that tough machiavellian stuff isnt just a cover #also dying at how different their perspectives on don quixote would be #seb is crying laughing reading it. he cant stop envisioning don quixote as fernando and laughing at the mental image #and fernando across the room reading The Prince is like. what's so funny?????? #seb reads him some & nando just has the most befuddled look. like 'he is very honorable no? to have such a sense of honor is admirable yes? #actually half the time theyre found curled together on some lounge chair bcs they were reading to each other and fell asleep midway #<- all sleepily rumpled with the book having fallen to the wayside. their hair all messy and their faces muzzy with sleep #vettonso #catie.asks. #boy king au
