“5 Times the Love” { Hiya friend! }
Send “5 Times the Love” and I will write a drabble about the five times my muse fell in love with your muse ( No Longer Accepting )
{ Hi friend! I stuck this to the threads we’ve had/stuff I wrote for funsies. We need to do more with this ship tbh, but I understand you’ve been busy and stuff as have I. Also some of our threads keep getting dropped for some reason. But eh whatever. I’m always open for things! Seriously, if you want to pop into my inbox and bother the muse that’s completely fine c: Anyway, hope you enjoy! c: }
Gleams of steel mixed with crimson were apparent in the air. Brigands falling one by one, each one whose life was cut short by the judgement of the blade. To me, this was business as usual. A lone village in the middle of nowhere, being taken advantage of for goods by others. Just like my own had been. I eventually began to notice though, that I was not fighting alone. There was an army close by, doing just what I had been doing. It was made of quite a bunch of colorful characters but…one stood out at me. A azure haired man with cool blue eyes. His abilities almost mirroring my fallen friend.
I caught myself staring for the longest time, before you finally walked up to me. We spoke for only a few minutes before the heat of battle caught up to us. I didn’t let you know at the time but I felt a small beat in my heart. Almost like attraction. Later, when the battle was over. I asked to join your army. I said I wanted to help, but really I wanted to continue seeing you. A selfish wish it was but I didn’t care. My heart jumped for joy when you and the other knight by you said…”Yes.”
I slowly adjusted to my new life in the Shepherds as I was introduced to some of the soldiers. I didn’t say much but “Hello” and simple greetings to them. Multiple times I blushed out of shyness, but you were still kind to me around the camp. Treating me like a soldier who had been there for years. Which…I wasn’t used to accepting but I was more than happy to. I only wanted to repay your kindness somehow. Although, how could I? Your advisor revealed you were a prince. What could a little village girl like me give you?
…The answer came to me during one our relaxing days. I came over to you, ready to ask if you would like to train with the others. My steps stopped as I saw a frown upon your lips while you sat at your desk. Your fingers pinching the bridge of your nose, as it seemed you were stressed from certain duties. I slowly asked what was wrong but you dismissed it as nothing. Even though it was obviously a lie. I was persistent as you eventually told me, letting me know the feelings that no one else knew. I didn’t know what to say back, so I said whatever was on my heart. I…don’t remember what exactly was said but eventually, you started to smile again. Making me smile with you as you thanked me.
After that, I did whatever I could to keep you smiling. Because, just seeing you smile was all I needed to get through each day. Your happiness, was almost my entire world.
Even though I was now a solder to fight in a war, I still had simple pleasures. Reading books, sleeping in on a nice morning, even enjoying sweets at times. My favorite food, especially something with chocolate. My favorite thing though was sneaking out of the camp and into the forest nearby. I always made sure that I wasn’t followed, didn’t want others to see. I just wanted to be alone. Just for the one moment…
…To be the kid I used to be.
It was at this time, my age didn’t matter. I wasn’t a swordswoman in the middle of a war. I was a tiny six year old with the word at her fingertips. I would run across the leafy paths. I would climb all the way to the top of trees. I would even play with whatever I could find. All while laughing and smiling. However, one day as I was about to head back: I heard a rustle of leaves behind me. My head immediately turned to see a flash of blue for a split second. My cheeks turned a bright shade of red as my heart was put in a frenzy. …I knew it was you that had seen me and somehow, I was okay with that.
Nothing really changed after that. You just treated me with your normal behavior. However, you seemed to smile more around me. Almost like you were happy I was just in your sight. Making me blush more around you. I tried to hide it each time, earning a laugh from you. Almost like you enjoyed this side of me, which colored me surprised. Still, I tried to seem like a mature woman to you instead of a child in an adult’s body. I did well at keeping it together, until we checked inventory that day.
Normally, I never would have enjoyed doing chores. However, you said we could spar after. Making my childish side appear. As it showed, my face turned a shade of pink before I accepted. Another laugh coming from you as we quickly finished our chore. Even though, I made little jokes as we did. Making you laugh at each one.
Then, we found each other in the middle of a field. Our blades clashing multiple times in a series of movements. You had strength, but I definitely had you beat in speed. Making for an interesting match. Each time you reached to attack, I was ready to parry. When I reached to attack, you did the same. It was like we were equally matched most of the time, to the point our blades clashed one final time. Making us look into the other’s eyes. As I took note of yours, I felt my heart slowly race as a subtle blush appeared across my cheeks before I got back into fighting.
Eventually we stopped, both of us exhausted from our previous endeavor. We got a few hits off each other but it seemed I got a bit more. You laughed, commenting on my skills. I blushed a bit more but smiled, commenting yours as well. We softly laid there on the grass, looking up at the sky. No words were spoken but you did win something in that battle. You won my heart.
After that moment, my feelings were kept hidden from you. I kept my blushing down to a minimum as I spent more time with you. It was just a crush after all and besides, there’s no way you could fall for a little village girl like me. This love was forbidden. Least…what’s what I thought till you suddenly picked me up like a new bride. Part of me was cursing myself for being this light but the other part was more than glad you did. Even though, I felt I shouldn’t. My heart reacted like crazy, only making the doubt in my mind grow. As you set me down outside the camp, I opened my mouth to speak but my voice. As you got on your knee, pulling out a ring with a royal crest upon it. Speaking the words I never thought I would hear from you.
“…Would you make me a very happy man and marry me?”
…Time stopped in the midst of that moment. I stood there in pure shock at what was happening. I opened and closed my eyes multiple times, feeling that it was nothing more than a dream. However, each time I opened them…you were there. Still in that position as the words hung in the air. My heart was racing as I looked upon you. What should I say? You were the commander of this army and a prince…asking for my hand. The hand of a outcasted villager. My mind raced multiple thoughts but I shut them all out. My heart only told me to do one thing. Time slowly beginning again.
You embraced me, placing the ring on my finger and pressing your lips against mine in a sweet kiss. Us expressing our true feelings for one another that we had hidden from all this time. Normally, this relationship would be seen as scandalous where I lived. After all, only royals or others close to their position could marry another royal. However, I didn’t care. If people wanted to stare, let them stare. I was in love with the Prince of Ylisse and I didn’t care what anyone else would say. If it was wrong, then I didn’t want to be right ever again. And it seemed…that you didn’t want to be either.
Now, I’ll still say it. I..am in love with a pri-. No, the man who stole my heart long ago. While he is love with me, the woman who stole his heart along with. We may be different statuses, but as long as we love each other. We’ll continue…to build this life together. Just me, and the man I love.
