Summary: I was bribed into this with http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/view/230439/. Not that I wasn’t going to continue. It’s just that bribery makes me work faster.



“Buttons, buttons, too many buttons,” Dorrek mumbled into William’s neck as his hands slid under the prince’s shirt. William clutched at Dorrek’s back, pulling him deeper into the hidden nook in the gardens. Dorrek growled something in Skrullos as they tumbled to the ground, his teeth grazing the dark haired boy’s jaw.

“Careful,” William warned, letting out a little gasp as Dorrek’s nails rasped over his nipples.

“You need clothes with fewer buttons,” the young emperor retorted.

“Part of being a prince,” William murmured, nipping Dorrek’s ear. He felt a shudder run through the blonde, so he did it again.

I never had buttons,” Dorrek pointed out.

“Deprived child.”

***

“They disappeared into the garden over an hour ago, Your Majesty. His Highness has thrown a barrier up around them. Our telepaths cannot get a lock on their thoughts.”

“Keep trying. I want to know what they’re up to.”

***

“We’ve got to move,” William whispered into Dorrek’s ear. “They’ll come looking if we’re not seen walking around.”

Dorrek grunted, nuzzling his way down William’s chest. “Let them.” He grabbed the prince’s wrists, pinning them to the ground, and nipped at his throat, sucking at the flesh.

“Let me up,” William said, trying to get his hands free and sit up.

“Mm… No.” Dorrek bit a little harder, causing William to yelp. Dorrek yelped himself seconds later, and leapt off the Lehnsherr scion. The dark boy sat up, little lightning bolts crackling across his skin and making both their hair stand on end.

They stared at each other, watching warily. There was a spark of something in William’s eyes, and he was the first to break contact. Angrily, he buttoned his shirt. “Well, it’s been swell seeing you again--”

“What? Billy--” He reached out to the prince, but William jerked away. “Please--”

“—but I’ve got things I need to get done. Goodbye.

Suddenly, Dorrek was alone in the nook with just the smell of ozone.

“What happened?” he asked the empty air.

***

“What happened?”

“Nothing, Mother.”

Wanda took William’s face in her hands and clucked her tongue. “You’ve been crying.”

“I’m fine.”

“Is that a bite mark?”

“Mother, please…”

“I want names. Who did this to you?”

“I took care if it.”

“I’ll have their heads for this.”

“I took care of it, Mother.”

***

“Are you done with this, Your Majesty?”

Dorrek rubbed the bridge of his nose. “All treaties signed… everything’s ready to be finalized…” He stared at the wall. “He zapped me.”

Kl’rt arched a brow ridge. “He zapped you?”

“He zapped me,” Dorrek repeated forlornly. “I’ve done something to upset him, and he zapped me, and now he never wants to see me again.”

“It’s for the best, my liege.”

Dorrek turned a blue eye on the Super-Skrull. “How so?”

“You’re not staying,” Kl’rt said, “and you can’t take him with you.”

Dorrek blinked, not listening as Kl’rt went on. Instead, he was thinking. Finally, he held up a hand, brining the Super-Skrull to a halt. “I need to meet with King Erik, first thing in the morning.”

Kl’rt gave his emperor a suspicious look. “As you wish.”

***

Erik Lehnsherr, King of Genosha, watched the Skrull Emperor read over the proposed treaty while his bodyguard loomed behind him like a great gargoyle. The boy... for he was no older than Erik's grandsons... put the paper down and folded his hands over his stomach, regarding the Master of Magnetism steadily. "What you propose would bind my Empire to your house for as long as both stand." He ran his thumb over his fingers in a nervous gesture.

Erik waited for the boy to continue.

"I propose," Dorrek VIII said, taking a deep breath, "we seal our alliance in a truely traditional way."

Erik picked up a pen, twirling it between his fingers. "I believe I see what you mean. I will speak with Lorna and see if-" The king stopped short as the young emperor raised his hand.

"Princess Lorna is a fine woman and a credit to your house, but she is not the one I would ask for."

"Then... Wanda?" Erik said slowly, slightly disbelieving. The boy quickly shook his head.

"William," Dorrek said. "I want William."

The pen dropped out of Erik's suddenly nerveless fingers.

Oooh, what will I have to do to bribe you into writing about William's no-doubt explosive reaction to being proposed to by proxy?
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 4th, 2006 11:46 pm (UTC)
The head of John Tesh.

Or a bunch of Runaways and Young Avengers icons featuring the phrase "I'm here! What were your other two wishes."
libby the lazy lolita: wibble sebastian[info]sakusha on December 4th, 2006 11:44 pm (UTC)
Ahhhh~~~ This makes me so happy! I was worried you'd about given up on our dear boys, and I was so looking forward to the continuation of this series in particular. <3 The relationship angst! The proposal! It's all so delightful! <3 Thank you for continuing~
feikoi: dance[info]feikoi on December 4th, 2006 11:46 pm (UTC)
Dude! I was wondering where that last scene would fit within this series...

But Billy's reaction? *sweatdrop*
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 4th, 2006 11:49 pm (UTC)
*grins* You'll see.
Mia[info]miakun on December 4th, 2006 11:51 pm (UTC)
Man, I was hoping you were going to update this one soon. Conflict! I love how Dorrek is so the child of getting everything he wants, which changes him a little in the sense of he's not Teddy but he is... and that's the confusion of AUs and my coherency.

I doubt "Will" is going to be thrilled about the news.
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 4th, 2006 11:52 pm (UTC)
Bribery speeds my updates.
The Muffin: Perhaps if I make my appearance SEXIER[info]lovessacrifice on December 5th, 2006 12:09 am (UTC)
Do all the times I've emailed you my icons count?
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 5th, 2006 12:12 am (UTC)
..... *muttery**gets to work*
The Muffin: sex god[info]lovessacrifice on December 5th, 2006 12:15 am (UTC)
Bwahaha, it's like collecting back taxes. Or something.
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 5th, 2006 12:17 am (UTC)
It's not nice to get other people out of giving me iconbribes, you know.
The Muffin: Nothing like...[info]lovessacrifice on December 5th, 2006 12:18 am (UTC)
Nonsense, their icons go to bribing the next part out of you.
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 5th, 2006 12:20 am (UTC)
Can your icons be considered bribage for That Damn MPreg stuff instead?
The Muffin: Perhaps if I make my appearance SEXIER[info]lovessacrifice on December 5th, 2006 12:25 am (UTC)
...Yes. Preferably featuring pregnant Cassie or Hal. Or baby Hal. Or something cute in general.
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 5th, 2006 12:26 am (UTC)
Your wish, my command, ecetera, ecetera, ecetera.
Mia: Sexy Ouch (Wonder Woman)[info]miakun on December 5th, 2006 12:28 am (UTC)
Haha okay, what do you want to be bribed with?
The Typo Queen[info]dorksidefiker on December 5th, 2006 12:29 am (UTC)
I accept icons, fanart, the severed heads of radio personalities, and ficcage.
Mia: Sixxy Six (Six - BSG)[info]miakun on December 5th, 2006 12:38 am (UTC)
I can do icons or ficcage. Which are you in need of and what do you want?
The Mad Fan Girl: 09[info]fullmetal_cute on December 5th, 2006 12:41 am (UTC)
I think I could be coaxed into writing faster for Anole, Chamber, and Northstar icons. As for ficcage, I would LOVE to see someone writing Chase/Victor or Tommy/Anole
Mia[info]miakun on December 5th, 2006 12:44 am (UTC)
I'll take a shot at the Victor/Chase and if that bails out again I'll click out some icons.
The Mad Fan Girl[info]fullmetal_cute on December 5th, 2006 12:45 am (UTC)
W00t!
[info]eye_infections on December 5th, 2006 12:36 am (UTC)
Oh thankyou for updating I was looking forward to the next part of this story.
The Mad Fan Girl: 10[info]fullmetal_cute on December 5th, 2006 12:43 am (UTC)
I'm glad you liked.
AWESOME ALL OVER: Billy: They're not listening![info]23crayons on December 5th, 2006 01:49 am (UTC)

Decked-out Billy sez write more plz. ♥
The Typo Queen: Victor Mancha[info]dorksidefiker on December 6th, 2006 12:11 am (UTC)
Crapy bribes are just fine.
Terence[info]luminum on December 5th, 2006 06:40 am (UTC)
Ahhhhhh!!!! <3
Toast[info]dytabytes on December 5th, 2006 08:58 pm (UTC)
A~H! I've been waiting to see if you were going to continue this! It's really a very good piece! To be truthful, I'm not quite sure what William got so pissy about. Was it the fact that Dorrek wouldn't stop, or something else?

And I think I recognise that last bit from previous, mm?

*giggle*

So~ ... bribery? I can do bribery. Got any requests?
The Typo Queen: Johnny Gallo[info]dorksidefiker on December 5th, 2006 11:28 pm (UTC)
Art, ficcage, icons, and John Tesh's head are all considered acceptable.
The Typo Queen: Vic and Tommy[info]dorksidefiker on December 6th, 2006 12:04 am (UTC)
And to answer your question:

William's not exactly used to not getting his way either, and he believes when someone tells you to stop, you stop.
burnt_pidgeons: DINOMITE[info]burnt_pidgeons on December 14th, 2006 12:50 am (UTC)
Another typo. But you're still hella awesome. Ohgoshgoshgosh

The Typo Queen: Chamber[info]dorksidefiker on December 14th, 2006 11:23 pm (UTC)
Well, what I would really, truely love to have are some Gen13 icons. But the above listed folks are also still very much in want.

Your friend has excellent taste. And don't worry too much if you can't swing Gen13.
