Love or Duty??

He dreaded it. Dreaded having to go back to Asgard, to Princely duties and expectations despite the mistrust and utter contempt. He simply wished to remain here with his Bonded. However, he knew better. Knew that he couldn’t neglect his duties, his people no matter how much they hated him. A hard concept to shallow but not in any way unfamiliar.

Angharad made such thoughts and notions bearable. Whether she knew it or not, she does in more ways than one. He laid a gentle wholesome kiss to her forehead further intensifying her blush, yet a full smile stretched her lips.

As his heart sang at the sight, he had no desire to break the current atmosphere. Yet he knew it is necessary. “I have to return to Asgard soon.”

Those raincloud-colored eyes looked towards him full of mesmerizing expression. It is quite a relief to see such genuine emotion when most would try to hide them beyond masks. He would know for he did it constantly out of habit, training, and necessity.
