Rowan found his door unlocked and he glanced worriedly at Harrow before opening the door, terrified to see what Zander had done.
Rowan found his door unlocked and he glanced worriedly at Harrow before opening the door, terrified to see what Zander had done.
Everything at the apartment was right where it was before, Zander was on the couch, texting on his phone, "took you guys long enough," he teased, glancing up and putting his phone away "I've been here all night, hoping to catchuyou two here and have a bit of fun, but no one else showed so I have my self comfortable
“Get the hell out of my apartment.” Rowan demanded calmly, letting go of Harrows hand and walking over to Zander and offering him a hand so he could stand. He gazed at him with a stern glare, ignoring his heart pounding wildly in his ears.
Zander glared up at Rowan and stood without his help "give me back my fiance and I'll gladly leave you're apartment." He crossed his arms over his chest
Rowan laughed tauntingly, taking a step closer to Zander with a smug look. “Your so called ‘fiancé’, is wearing the ring I proposed to him with. You might want to check your facts, darling.”
Zander inclined his head and glanced over at Harrow "well-played dear, but I will make you mine, at any extent." as he spoke his last words, his gaze slid over to rowans. He shoved past the two "comfy bed by the way!" he called as he headed out the door
Rowan didn't look back at him, hands clasped behind his back to keep them from shaking. He let out a breath of air and straightened up, brushing off his shirt. He walked over to the door and locked it, not looking at Harrow. "You should marry him.." He said, voice almost a whisper. .
Rowan walked in front of his, completely taken a back "what? No! I'm not giving him what he wants. I don't care what he says, we'll find somewhere safe and leave this town."
"Harrow he's already broken into both of our apartments and what if..what if he hurts you? He'll find us even if we leave. I just don't want you to get hurt.." Rowan said quietly, his voice breaking as tears filled his eyes.
"And you think just because I marry him he won't hurt you?" harrow shook his head, not being able to understand as to why Rowan was suddenly agreeing with this. He took a deep breath and glanced back up at rowan. He gently pulled him close and rested his head on his shoulder "I'm not going anywhere with him. i love you, i only want you, not him."
“I love you too.” Rowan whispered, holding him tight and pressing his face into Harrows neck. “I’m so sorry..” he added, tears leaking out of his eyes.
"It's okay, just don't ever ask me to do that. Okay? No matter who tells me what, I won't marry that man. I'm marrying you. I'm saying yes to you. I'm spending the rest of my life with you." He pressed a kiss to rowan's head.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry..” Rowan sobbed quietly, feeling immensely guilty and stupid. Of course Harrow wouldn’t marry Zander. Why would he say that?
He slumped in Harrows arms, clinging to him desperately.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm not blaming you or anything. I just don't like the thought of leaving you. I don't like it when the one I hold dearest suggests i marry the man i don't love just to keep me "safe". I don't like it because that's exactly what I'd do if it were reversed."
Rowan whispered softly, too exhausted and emotional to respond. He composed himself as best he could and pulled away slightly, rubbing his eyes dry. “I know..I just..I don’t know what to do about him. He’s everywhere..next thing you know he’ll show up at my parents house.”
(…..not a bad idea………)
Harrow shook his head and guided rowan to the couch. He sat down with him in his lap and stroked his hair "Honestly? I don't know what he's going to do…he could do as you said, he could go silent for a while and come back again….i don't know…"
(would you be okay with adding an element of magic (potion of glamour) or do you think it'll take away from the storyline?)
(Sure! Could you explain a bit more?)
Rowan nodded, nuzzling close to him and gazing in silence at a speck on the rug. “I need to disinfect this whole place.” He murmured, wrapping his hand around Harrows.
(of course! Basically, Zander finds someone who makes potions and offers a lot of money for a glamour spell to be concocted so he called look like Rowan.) Harrow mistakes Zander for Rowan and things go from there as far as plot goes)
Harrow laughed softly and nodded "yes we do," Harrow leaned back on the couch and stretched himself out so that Rowan was lying on top of him
(I LOVE THAT)
(Let’s Do it)
Rowan wrapped his arms around Harrow and sighed softly, resting his head on the others chest. “I was going to do things today..” he murmured.
(okay! Yay! I'll start it in a few responses)
"just because he came doest't mean we can't do anything today. What were you planning?" Harrow asked while stroking Rowan's hair
(Awesome!)
Rowan shrugged, humming softly. “I don’t know. When did I say we were going to dinner with my mom?” He asked, playing with Harrows fingers and rubbing circles in his palm.
He glanced over at a clock "about an hour," He pressed a kiss his brow "wee can still go, there's no reason for this to have ruined all our fun,"
Rowan nodded and stood up, helping up Harrow. “I’m going to shower and change and wash the bed sheets cause-“ He mimed throwing up. “I have clothes if you want some.” He said, stretching and taking a deep breath.
"I'll help with the sheets," he said with a laugh, pressing kisses to his brow. "I'm good, I showered before we got here."
“Okay. I love you.” He murmured, pulling him in by the collar and kissing him lovingly.
They finished washing the sheets and Rowan showered and changed. There was still a bit of time before they had to leave so he decided to dedicate that time to sitting in Harrows lap and playing with his hair.
He wrapped his arms around Rowan's neck before releasing him, "enough to marry me?" he asked teasingly, heading to the bedroom to gather the sheets. Once done with the sheets, Harrow snuggled with Rowan for a bit, kissing him all over as he played with his hair
Rowan giggled and scrunched his nose up as Harrow kissed him. “Don’t get too carried away, love. We have to leave soon.” He said quietly, making no move to stop the other.
"hm I would never, love." He murmured, kissing below his ear before pulling away and gazing at him lovingly.
"Mm..I care to disagree." Rowan giggled, getting up and taking Harrows hand. "You ready?" He asked with a soft sigh. "She insisted on having it at our house so I can drive us."
