Somehow, Hubert has done it. He has won. His prize is this: Ferdinand von Aegis offered up to him in full; body, mind, heart, and now legally, on paper as well. He is a treasure to be handled with great care, to be protected, cherished, shown off like a shiny trophy in a case, the works.
Hubert smiles and threads his fingers through Ferdinand's thick, long hair, cupping the back of his skull as he kisses his lover's temple tenderly.
He speaks: low, quiet, his tone slow and fond.
"But before I do, allow me to tell you that I love you, deeply and truly. Tonight has nothing to do with the city we are in or what we are forced to do in order to live peacefully here. It has everything to do with how much I care for you, and my deep devotion to you in all matters. This night is ours alone. Let us forget anything that has happened or will happen outside of these four walls. You are all that I see, Ferdinand. And I see this as my first time, as it is my first time with someone I love."
Ferdinand's lip quivers with the brunt of the powerful emotions welling within him, eyes suns dancing with stars. To hear Hubert profess something so momentous as his devotion to him, from a man he has ever known not to submit such a thing cheaply, stuns him, softens him, rolls him out before him like dough. He moves in to take his lips into his own, humming warmly with the plunging affection that overflows now.
"Your words render me so weak, I am glad that I am set down to hear them now." Confidence boldens his features, but not enough to eclipse the sentiment glowing. "Mark my words, Hubert... I will make your first time unforgettable." His hands travel behind his head to find his lover's, and he squeezes them both. "You will feel how much I return your love with my every move..."
