What? This just keeps getting better and better. “Erm, I think you might have got it wrong your Majesty. We’re… we’re not in a relationship. Partners as in saving the galaxy partners…” Man, he was making a fool of himself in front of the Spartoi King, who thought that he and Pete were, were together. How weird was that? Not that he didn’t think that Peter wasn’t good enough, on the contrary, if anything it was the other way around, and with the added fact that Peter had royal blood… But, him and Pete? Richard didn’t know how he felt about the whole implication, it was Pete after all…
“Am I wrong? When you and Peter were declared dead, yours and his memorials were not only erected together, they were one. You do not merge the emblems of two people and give them a single headstone if they were mere friends.” J’son’s lips thinned into a displeased line. “Is it this Earther stupidity about same gender couples? I assure you, Spartax has no such discrimination!”
“I’m… It was?” Peter had mentioned statues, but he certainly hadn’t mentioned anything about their emblems. This was so very very weird. And now the King of Spartax was practically interrogating him based on that one thing, that wasn’t even in either of their hands. "Well, certain groups of people on Earth do, but not me. It’s just, we don’t feel that way about each other.” Richard didn’t want the King to think that he was discriminating any kind of minority.
