[ The truth is that as far as Alhaitham is concerned, his wishes have already been granted. A simple, comfortable, predictable life — even within the constraints of his role as Sumeru's future king, he manages to enjoy just that, and Aether at his side fits there perfectly. Aether's presence is what he wants, which goes beyond the fact that dealing with concubines and marriage to foster alliances would be a hassle for Alhaitham himself and everyone else alike, beyond having Aether's body all to himself night after night. Aether is anything but a mere footnote, now or in the future.
Of course, it also suits Alhaitham perfectly to have Aether where his beautiful dancer is right now. He watches Aether unabashedly, tracking every movement, following Aether's fingers as they pull the ties of his undergarments loose. Aether is as wet as Alhaitham knew he would be, and the prince's mouth curves into a smile, satisfied. He rubs his thumbs against the dip of Aether's sides. ]
Why should you? Because of your nature? That didn't dissuade me from wanting you.
[ And with Aether straddling him, flushed and slick, Alhaitham leans in again to claim another kiss before any answer comes. It takes little effort to free his own cock from his robe, to lift Aether enough to align himself with Aether's entrance and draw him back down, pressing past his pliant inner walls, deeper until Aether is seated in his lap once more. ]
