Fics like Les Rois Du Monde

“Are you happy?” He asks one day, when the coffee mug is half-drained. “Are you really happy like this?” “Are you?” Benvolio replies. And the truth is that he barely remembers what happiness is, much less what it feels like. Happiness is for the young, and for old men…duty. It is the first, chief area where Lord Capulet had failed, chasing after his ill-spent youth and forgetting his own household. Escalus learned, early on, that that was an impossibility, not when he had a city looking to him for guidance. “I’m not certain I was meant for happiness.” He smiles, politely. For almost anyone else, it would be enough, but Benvolio continues to look at him skeptically, before looking into his own mug. “Neither am I.”
