Summary
Yes. Wilbur had to bite his tongue to keep the answer from spilling out of his mouth, because yes he wanted more. Of course he wanted more. He wanted to be more than the bastard prince. He wanted to be more than a mistake his mother made before she married Tommy’s father.
But that wasn’t the role he had been cast for in his life.
“It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur said instead. “When Tommy turns eighteen he’ll be crowned King, and I will be his advisor. He’ll be a good king, I’ll make sure of it.”
or, as the bastard prince of the planet of Eldingvegr, Wilbur has always known he was never meant for greatness. That was his younger brother's destiny. Wilbur's job was simply to try and make sure Tommy could fulfill that destiny.
That becomes decidedly more difficult when the brothers are betrayed, and are forced to flee their home planet. With the Essempi Empire being one of the largest imperial powers in the universe, the only place that can offer them refuge from Emperor Dream is Zephys IV—capital planet of the Antarctic Empire, ruled by the ruthless Emperor Philza.

Summary
The boy sits awkwardly in the chair, hunched forward and gripping his own bleeding hand.
Techno hadn’t noticed it before. There’s a long, thick cut right across his palm.
The kid shrugs when Techno asks about it. “Held something.” His mouth twists into a bitter sort of grin, teeth glistening. “Held something fucking sharp.”
Techno focuses too much on first aid to ask many questions. The kid, in turn, doesn’t speak much, aside from a shaky, “Tommy,” when Techno asks his name.
Tommy. Tommy, the kid who escaped from…something. Tommy, who ran through the city streets with bare feet and a bleeding palm because he needed saving. Tommy, who is currently sitting in one of Techno’s kitchen chairs.
---
Tommy is a vigilante named Flare. Techno is the man who saved him. Techno is also the man hunting Flare down.

Summary
There’s a grunt. One, two, three, quick and panicked, and suddenly a large, fluffy mass is leaning into Tommy’s space.
Still curled up in pain, Tommy almost misses it—almost misses the dilation of Techno’s pupils, almost misses the constant chuff, chuff, chuff, and snort, snort, snort, as Techno’s head dips down to look at him. But Tommy’s been looking for it all week, so, as if magnetized, Tommy still lifts his pained head upward.
Instinct-Techno is back. The Instinct-Techno that looks out for him. The Instinct-Techno that actually cares.
---
When Tommy was first rescued, he had told his crew that humans couldn't stand touch. Now, touch-starved and lonely, Tommy was willing to hold onto that secret forever.
But when Techno falls into his instincts, Tommy's resolve starts to crumble, and he starts to wonder exactly what he has to do to get this love all the time.
