A Royal Pain

Chapter fourteen

The wedding came off without a hitch. The ceremony was beautiful, the newly married couple has heard from many people that the whole rite was absolutely splendid. The citizens have only shown love and support on social media, making Harry and Louis feel accepted and loved.

It's crazy that they're the first gay couple to take the throne. Times have changed of course, and everyone has been changing their opinions on specific topics and have been supporting things they didn't before. The LGBTQ+ community is only getting bigger and bigger and a lot more people have been cheering them on.

Yet, with royalty, it seemed to be a big deal and it suddenly wasn't permissible anymore to not be straight, but the records have been set straight thanks to Harry and Louis. The papers are filled with this amazing news and all the queer people have been 'slaying' them on the internet.

And the cherry on top of the cake for Harry, something lovely to be added next to all the acceptance, is the beautiful ring that is now secured on his ring finger. It has peace etched on the silver band and it fits the other rings Harry loves to wear perfectly.

When Louis and Harry were finally together in their room, away from all the people surrounding them and congratulating them - which was great of course, but the peace and quiet are also appreciated -, the Prince - correction, he's the King now - admitted to picking the ring himself. Louis elaborated that he loves the rings that never leave Harry's fingers and tried to find one that wouldn't make Harry feel like he should take the others off.

Harry is quite grateful for this because if he would have received a wedding ring that didn't match his other rings, he would have chosen the marriage token over his old hoops. He's glad that he didn't have to make the choice, even though he kinda already did, and now he admires his new addition to the sets of rings every single day.

Something that he now also can adore, is the tiara that is now officially his. Even though he is a male and therefore classified as a King, the law had stated that the tiara was for the person reigning next to the royal-blooded King. Therefore, Harry had no choice but to wear the tiara all previous Queens had worn, but to be honest, he loves the beautiful creation of art in his curls and feels pretty with it.

Louis also has been complimenting Harry about it, making sure to make Harry feel good in his skin, and Harry has been falling even deeper for the King because of that. When he admitted that he would like to wear a dress for their real wedding, Louis' first reaction was to cheer him on, and his husband even painted his nails a little while ago, claiming that it made Harry beautiful. All in all, Louis is the most supportive husband Harry could have wished for.

Ever since the coronation, Harry has become more and more confident. He now feels like he can make a good King and that he can maybe change things for the better. Also, he has really embraced his feminine side ever since the tiara hit his head. Sure, he had already done that before, but now more than ever. The staff also has been amazing, and Harry makes sure to check in on them once in a while, to make sure they're content and happy.

Furthermore, Harry and Louis have finally officially moved in together. Sure, they practically were always together in Louis' room anyway, but now all Harry's stuff has been moved into the King's room and Harry's side of the closet has been filled to the brink with all kinds of colorful clothes.

Their sleeping habits haven't changed a bit, apart from the fact that Louis is now always the big spoon and the sexual activities are now a regular thing for them to do. They haven't taken the next step, however, and are still both virgins, because they're waiting until their feelings are finally in check.

Of course, their hearts have been shifting a lot already and they have grown a lot closer emotionally, but the words 'I love you' still haven't been said yet, which is not the craziest thing because they have only known each other for less than three months, but if it would end up happening, that wouldn't be the craziest thing either. They are soulmates after all and therefore destined to love each other. It's only a matter of time and if that time decides to come, for example, today, that wouldn't be the craziest thing.
