and then it remains there, the boy’s thin, frail body rushing to get all the paintbrushes ready, glancing up at jeongguk every so often with wide eyes.
jeongguk, for the briefest of moments, cannot even get himself to breathe. like the very essence of his soul has been snatched.

“sire,” a voice calls, but jeongguk does not give it another thought when the boy looks up once more, getting caught in the prince’s relentless gaze which pins him down.
“/sire!/“ hoseok snaps, and jeongguk blinks out of his daze, a faint ‘huh?’ falling from his lips.

hoseok grins, raising his brows as he blinks.
“really?” he asks, “even the painter?”
jeongguk reels back in mock surprise, placing his hand on his chest dramatically, “i am appalled at these accusations!”
and the painter, the poor, poor painter can only watch helplessly.

aware that he’s the one being talked about but still doubting the ordeal— he’s just a boy in rags, why would royalty wish to speak about him?
however, all of his doubts are erased when after he’s done with the painting, limbs and fingers aching, the prince approaches him.

places his elbows on the table upon which taehyung’s supplies rest and interlocks his fingers, resting his chin on them.
“you’re quite pretty for a painter,” he states, and taehyung blinks.
he is, approximately, two seconds away from retching his guts out.

“i’m sorry, your majesty?” taehyung asks faintly, eyes flitting from place to place but eventually landing on jeongguk’s.
“i think you heard me quite clearly, did you not?” and taehyung would make it out to be a threat, until the prince smiles.

& then his hand is on taehyung’s wrist and kim taehyung, the boy from the streets, is being led towards the kitchen by the Damn Prince himself for a ‘fulfilling snack.’

and HSHShshjsj can u think!!! like jeongguk has to get a Shitton or portraits done and he’s so fucking bored of holding up a sword all majestically and shit so he asks taehyung if he could paint a portrait of him. digging his ear or something equally vile
or !!! 1 day jeongguk is so goddamn bored of standing in the same position for hours that he asks for a break, which taehyung obviously gives, but instead of resting jeongguk just chases taehyung around with paint on his hands because. he is a literal fucking child
and the kitchen has now Officially become their hangout spot !!!!!!! taehyung has never eaten even a fraction of the food jeongguk places before him and initially he was scared they’d get caught.

scold jeongguk for eating in his ‘good clothes,’ pulling a face of disgust when jeongguk speaks with his mouth full and taehyung has to hold back the bodily giggle that is running through his body.
omg wait... yk how they fall in love? like jeongguk has a lot of strong, soldier friends but no one like taehyung ??? so jeongguk somehow traps taehyung into allowing him to dress him up so 1 day they’re just sitting. in jeongguk’s room, jeongguk pulling out his older robes ++
from when he was a teenager and a little thinner for taehyung to see and it ends with taehyung just laughing at how saggy the expensive, finely spun fabric looks on him but secretly jeongguk thinks he looks absolutely Beautiful

like jeongguk one day just going ‘you always draw me why don’t i get to draw you’
and taehyung’s like ??????? ‘you’re da prince bro not me’
& then, once again, after a lot of whining he gets taehyung to sit still.

and jk brags jokingly about the art lessons he got as a musty teenager and taehyung only rolls his eyes, still feeling a little floaty at the fact that jeongguk would want to draw... him
so it’s just hours of jeongguk tracing over all of taehyung’s features under the moonlight,

and the way he gets so shy when he hands taehyung the work, muttering about how bad it turned out to be and how he could never rival taehyung’s talent.
but taehyung, honest to god, think it’s the most beautiful he’s ever looked.

he doesn’t hear the ‘nothing could compare to the real thing’ that jeongguk mumbles under his breath
and they are both dumb as Fuck so they do not realise that they are in love until one of the people that a portrait had been sent to comes to jeongguk’s empire in order to court him and taehyung just sort of.
