Who: Iskandar and Waver
What: A trip to Mauna Kea Observatories with a twist.
When: June 20th
Where: Near Shore, Hawaii.
Summary: Iskandar’s current space obsession is a perfect opportunity for him to do one important thing right this time.



[Waver has barely returned from his current round of godly business when he is ambushed in his own Temple. By none other than his King.]

I hope you don’t have plans because I intend to steal you for the evening.

[Those must be some plans indeed because Iskandar is definitely dressed up for the occasion. The fact that he’s not wearing his usual set of jeans and whichever t-shirt from his gaming t-shirts collection should be an indication that something serious is brewing. He didn’t go full suit and all route though this option certainly was on the table but still with a nice shirt, a tie and dress pants to match, he looks less like a military on leave and more … lawyery.]

So what do you say? In a mood for a short trip?

[Yes, marriage traditions are different from what Iskandar is used to. Waver only has to ask Minako if he ever needed confirmation. Still, Iskandar is the man who refused to marry for convenience while he was preparing to embark on his conquest but did not hesitate a second to do it out of love. Against the wishes of actually everyone else, and the common sense, and the sound political strategy. He had state marriages later too but his first and most important bride was a choice of his heart.

So is Waver.]

It is splendid, thank you.

[He takes the ring, turns it around in his fingers a couple of times, just to have a better look, before putting it on. From this moment there can be no doubt they belong to each other. As if there ever was. Anyone who knows them would have to be blind no to see it. But now there is additional physical confirmation of it clearly advertising the fact for all to see and Iskandar is quite content with it.]

[hypomeneo]

[It looks good on his hand as Waver knew it would. More warmth and contentment curls through him to see it; this physical statement of all they share. He can't help but pull Iskandar in for another kiss as his happiness continues to spill over.

And another. And another.

Finally...]

I don't think I've ever been so happy.

[He shivers slightly as the breeze picks up on the mountainside. Servants are resistant to the elements, but that doesn't mean they don't feel them either. Yet he doesn't want to be chased inside yet; unwilling to leave the moment.]

[Iskandar chuckles a little as he's pulled down but gives in willingly. Such sweet captivity, he can only wish it lasted forever.]

Then I have achieved my objective.

[Cold rarely bothers him but Iskandar feels Waver shiver in his arms. Good thing then he still has his mantle. Red and gold fall down as Iskandar puts the mantle on Waver's shoulders. He smiles.]

It looks good on you, love.

[hypomeneo]

[His self while younger when he had gone to his high ascension form had had this cape. It's an odd thought - and he does not want to think of what he and Da Vinci had had to go through to fix that little misadventure to get his normal form back - as the mantle settles on his shoulder and the thick fabric and the fur collar cut out the wind.]

Red and gold are my colors. [As a slight blush stains his cheeks at the compliment and he smiles up, suddenly a bit bashful.] What about you, though? Not cold?

[The night is deepening and they are high up. It's going to get colder the longer they stay out here.]
