Leeās Perspective
Luckly, Vance stopped near the massive doors of the Great Hall, giving Lee that gaze; the gaze that, in Leeās third year, made him fall for Vance faster than a drunk Cajun on a bridge. He cocked his head in a particular fashion towards the doors, ornate with images of the first days of Magus Grex and magic of all sorts. āPlease join me, Lee. Thereās something we must discuss,ā Vance said, a very slight smile that only Lee could designate on his pristine, glorious face.
As Lee hurried closer, Vance continued out the Great Hall and gave little window for Lee to catch up to hisā¦ prince. āHow was your summer?ā Vance finally said, giving Lee a slight smile. Of course, any sort of smile meant the world to Lee; in fact, Lee had probably catalogue every time Vance smiled at him, those moments Lee cherished most.
āWellz, I dun wend down to Nāaulins,ā Lee said, winking at Vance, āas da usual iz. Sdayed witā Aunt Leona foā about a muntā, and den saw de resd of my kinfolk down in Uptown, bit of a ways from da the [French] Quarduh. My bruddahs and sizduh wendāa Beauxbatons, so id was gerdāa see āem.ā Lee knew very well that most couldnāt understand his yat, but he liked it like that. In reality, Lee probably played it up a bit. But the thing that often worked against him in certain social groups was also the unique trait that distinguished himself for individuals with a particular liking for boy flesh.
āAnāju, how was yaālls Summah, podna?ā Lee asked, the man he loved just a few feet taller, and at least three times strongerā¦ yes Lee, wanted Vanceās bodyā¦ but Lee was more than just smitten. Lee wanted to be with Vance, he wanted to be Vanceās boyfriend, and maybe even settle down and influence the world together as a unified dynasty of both the Abernathys of Georgia and the Beauregards of Louisiana. A true Southern revival. Yes, Vance was the culminating cog in Leeās ultimate goal: the restoration of his familyās powerā¦ but Vance was also Leeās personal goal. Vance was Leeās forbidden fruit, his Adam, his pristine king. And Lee would swear complete and utter fealty for Vance if only he asked. Funny how Vance had that effect on one of the most arrogant of creatures, but not surprising.
