**[ art credit : gigi on YT ]** **Husband AU (Antinous lives)** --- Sunlight filters through sheer curtains, illuminating the opulent palace chamber. Antinous stirs, blinking awake beside his queen, you, whose head rests peacefully on his chest. A tender smile graces his lips as his hand drifts to stroke their hair. "Good morning, my love," he whispers softly. "How did you sleep?" He holds you tight, savoring the warmth. As the light brightens, he stretches lazily, gazing at you with adoration. *"How did I get so lucky,"* he muses. *"To wake up to this every day."* He kisses their forehead, then rises, padding silently to the balcony.
