Aedan laughed as he was pinned against the wall, making sure that they were definitely completely and utterly alone now, as he began to kiss his partner in return.
He ran his hands through Damianos' dark hair as he moved closer
[Love these two XD They're my life]

((Same tbh XD))
Damianos sighed softly, sliding his hands to grip Aedan's waist, resisting the urge to slide his hands lower. He kissed slowly along the celts jawline, pressing his lips up under his ear and then kissing down his neck. 'tell me again why we don't have a roundhouse of our own?' He murmured quietly.

[They make me so happy XD]
Aedan smiled, leaning in closer "I don't know. Maybe we should, huh?"
He returned the Greek man's affections, nuzzling him and kissing him from his shoulder right up to underneath his ear.

'yes,' he breathed, tilting his head up so Aedan could have more access. 'yes we most definitely should.' At this moment, his world was almost complete; he had a home, he had a family; they were all safe, and Aedan was here in his arms.

[I've finally gotten to the point where I'd feel bad if I ruined it for them]
"We could do that" Aedan smiled as he continued to kiss him "We could definitely do that"
This was so surreal - he had always hoped that he would one day be home, with someone who loved him, and with a family. And now he was finally here

((I know right))
Damianos pressed himself closer to the Celt, then felt a shiver over his skin at the cold breeze. Reluctantly he pulled away, despite his innate need to continue with Aedan. 'Let's go get some sleep.' He murmured, kissing Aedan's forehead and hooking his arm around his waist, quietly leading him back to the family roundhouse. '...but seriously. Our own. Where should we put it?' He asked, smiling.

Aedan grinned "I don't know, anywhere we want. We can get it right in the centre of the village or maybe further out. It depends on how quiet you want it to be."
There would be space anywhere, if they needed it. He could have it built anywhere he wanted. Anywhere Damianos wanted.

He glanced around, then pointed when he saw a nice spot- not too far from the village centre, so that people could have access to their chiefs when needed, but far enough away so that the noise and bubble of the villagers wouldn't disturb them. 'There.' He said. 'That's the place.'

Aedan grinned "I'll get it arranged tomorrow. First thing. We'll have a roundhouse in no time, which will be lovely"
He couldn't believe that they would be getting their own home together. That was certainly an unexpected product of that evening

That was certainly an unexpected product of that evening He excitedly nodded as they entered the family roundhouse- Damianos having to duck under the doorframe as usual- and Damianos pulled his furs around so he could lie next to Aedan, rolling onto his side to face him and smile warmly. He already couldn't wait for the next day.

(Let's skip x)
Aedan settled down under his own furs, and the last thing he remembered of this night was falling asleep while smiling at his partner.

Morning came and Damianos woke slowly and easily, yawning sleepily. He looked up at the ceiling of the roundhouse, then turned his head to the left and immediately felt a smile flicker across his lips; Aedan. it was surreal to remember their first meeting. It felt like such a long time ago. He stretched, feeling his bones crack, then slowly sat up and ran a hand through his hair. It was extremely early; the village wasn't stirring yet- he stood and walked outside for some air. He looked around at the peaceful sight and smiled, quietly walking through the village.
((Omg can Eo's baby come soon I need Damianos to fawn))

He came outside grinning, going to catch up to his partner. "Aw, I was hoping to surprise you by having everything marked out and ready before you woke up" He said "looks like we'll have to do it together"

'Well; I beat you to it.' He grinned, before heading to the spot with Aedan. 'How big should it be?' He asked, looking towards Aedan with raised eyebrows. 'I don't really get the whole roundhouse thing- Greece was far different.' and more advanced. he thought to himself.

Aedan nodded "I know that this isn't at all like Greece. But hey, maybe we can visit there sometime. Spend time in both places. But to answer your question, it can be as big as we want"

'You're sure? About the visiting thing?' Damianos asked, blinking owlishly at Aedan. '...really???' He asked again, utterly bewildered at the suggestion. He'd never even thought about returning to Greece, and now that the idea had been proposed, he had no idea what to do with it. 'Uhm.'

Aedan shrugged "Yeah. You've seen my country. I mean, five years ago you didn't really want to go back to Greece, but I thought maybe you might be ready to visit it again now? We could always flit between the two countries if you want to? It's just a suggestion, of course. I don't really know what you want to do, but I'm willing to do anything if you want to do it"

"No one knows if the princess will show, since you became her champion shes been walking around the city with the guard that trains you and that servant of hers. Shes been remodeling bath houses orphanages and going to the market. Many slavers fear she will buy their slaves and set them free. And rumor has it shes been attempting to buy you off of Remus." He said nudging him with his elbow, "You've set a fire in her now she seems to be helping the whole country, she making herself very popular." Aedan swelled with pride upon hearing the good things Sabina had been doing "It is wonderful that she is doing these things," he replied with a smile "Let us just pray that she does not get into trouble for doing them. That would be such a terrible thing to happen" He didn't want Sabina to get into trouble for doing the good things she was doing. He would simply hate that. All it would take would be her father to find out she was doing so much and she could be in deep trouble. "Get out of the water and get dress slaves. Time for you to get ready for your night." One guard said into the bath house. "Damn I hope i dont get another older women tonight," He went on saying how older women feel like they'll break... ** Sabina hugged a few orphaned kids and kissed their heads, "Remeber Hera anything the kids need just let me know ok?" The older woman smiled and nodded thanking the princess adamantly. As Sabina left she walked to her horse where Lucien and Wila waited for her, noticing their hushed speaking she knew something was amiss. Wila served as a spy for the princess and would return with news of things happening around her city. "Wila what's wrong?" "Livius was at the Colosseum last night speaking with Remus, from what the wine maiden said they spoke of you and our gladiator." The women said pushing her auburn hair behind her shoulder. "That's strange... Follow Livius discreetly for a while Wila let me know what all he's planing. Lucien place a guard into the barrack where Aedan sleeps have him watch the wing." She said as she placed her foot into the stirrup and jumped onto the back of her black stallion, "And find me a horse salesman I'll be needing another horse..."

Aedan didn't say anything, just clambered out of the water with a sigh. This was the worst part of being a gladiator, being shown off at parties like a possession rather than a person. But there was nothing that could be done about it and he saw no point in complaining, evidently unlike some of the gladiators around him, who mumbled and grumbled about it.
_____________
Lucien had noted at her instructions but raised an eyebrow, still unsure of exactly what her intentions were. She needed another horse? Surely she wasn't going to break the slave out? Surely not….

Wila looked at him, "Dont look into it, her brothers birthday is coming up soon." I hope thats what its for... She then walked away seemingly disappear into the crowd of romans. Sabina rode through the masses of people toward her home, she kept running her plan through her mind obviously she couldn't push it quickly she still has months to prepare. All the training both Aedan and her were going through was to help them in the future she pushed her own horse on their morning rides to increase his stamina and shes started to carry daggers in the folds of her dress. Wila had been helping her defend herself along with her brother though he didn't have the slightest clue and neither did her parents. Everyone knew the princess wasnt the ruling type, sure she was kind and strong but as a women she was never meant to rule in the empire she would be married and used as a way to get the crown. She refused to let that happen, her brother was the crown prince and was being prepared as such. I would miss them but I have time.

Lucien nodded, but raised an eyebrow "Yes, sure, but if it was to do with her brother's birthday, surely she wouldn't mention it alongside talk of the gladiator? No, Wila, she's up to something. I think we both know what it is, but do we let her do it and risk her getting into trouble, or worse, or do we stop her and risk her hating us for it? It's a bit of a lose-lose situation"
He knew Sabina well, and he knew that she would take it out on he and Wila if they stopped her for doing this. But if they did stop her, would it be for her own good? Would it be better to just stop her and sacrifice the relationship they had with her in exchange for keeping her safe? Or would it be better to just trust her, to just let her do what she wanted to do, and to deal with the consequences as and when they happened? It was quite the moral conundrum, but he hoped that if he talked it through with Qila the two of them could come to a solution. Perhaps a compromise.

"Dont worry about it for now." Wila said taking his hand, "Shes still out princess, for now do as she says and when the time comes we'll do what we can." She squeezed it softly then let it go. "Im going to find Livius and follow him maybe speak to his guards." She adjusted her dress slightly to show off her womanly assets. "Go find a nice horse for the prince, she will need you to escort her to her cousins engagement party tonight." Wila wouldn't admit it aloud but she was happy to not have to go to another roman party where women gossiped and men drank heavily. No wonder women have so many affairs.

Lucien nodded "Go, WIla. I hope he listens to you. I shall see you later"
He had hurried off, then, to find everything the princess had asked, to arrange for the extra guard and for the horse, and to prepare for the events of that evening, when he would be in charge of looking after the princess during her cousin's engagement party.

As she stepped out of the carriage she looked at lucien with a sigh, "Why did Wila tell you about this stupid party... I was trying not to go." She grumbled, she wrinkled her nose as she stared at the house, it was decorated with lilies and ribbons their were so many flowers she was practically choking on the floral scent. She fixed her dark blue and pulled her trademark silver sash to cover her nose as she tried not to gag. "The horse you got today is it in the stables?" She asked as they walked to the house people bowing to the princess and saying their common greetings.

"Well, you have to go, my lady, it's you cousin," Lucien had said with a smile as he walked alongside her through the crowds "And the gladiator will be here, won't he, so it's not so bad"
Then she had asked about the horse, and Lucien nodded "All ready, in the stables, as per your request. I can have it ready at a moment's notice, should you need it. So no worries there, you can relax about it"
It was indeed ready, and it was the best horse he could find. The fastest and the strongest - and it was black. At night, it would be almost invisible. But he truly hoped the princess knew what she was doing.

"Good I'll taking him out in the morning after I take Zues out, and shes my second cousin. My stable boy will be bringing her present up when its time. I got her a white mare... she likes the color white, oh and her name is Zaelia she will hit on you so dont take the bait she does it to see the reaction of her fiancé." I cant believe remus accepted her proposal to have the gladiator here. Knowing that shes my cousin and that i would have to come here. If Wila is right Livius should be- Her thought was interrupted by her loud cousin who screamed her name and ran at the princess for a hug. The smaller women embraced the princess who was as stiff as a board at the sudden touching. Apollo help me and keep my patients strong please!

"Not to worry, my lady," Lucien had replied "I won't be accepting any advances. And I'm sure she will love the present"
When the shrieking second cousin of Sabina had come running out and attacked her with hugs, Lucien had looked somewhat surprised and concerned, but had looked away to hide his expression.
_____
Aedan was waiting inside, with the rest of the gladiators, and they were already being shown off. Most were steering well clear of Aedan for the moment, knowing he had the favour of the princess. They didn't want to risk doing anything that might upset her, and that was probably a good decision on their part. Aedan desperately wanted the chance to see her tonight.

Her cousin started babbling and pulled the princess by the arm over to her fiancé, she looked at lucien with pleading eyes, the bubbly blonde pulled the princess aound to meet everyone then pulled her to her mother in law who was looking at Atticus the gladiator where both women started talking very quickly over one another. All the while the princess nodded and tried to keep up with her cousin speak so rapidly.
Livius walked up to lucien and offered his hand, "Lucien is it? I'm legionare Livius of the 102 division. Are you the Lucien Flavious son of Lucas Aquilis Flavious?"
