Walking the multiple flights of stairs that lead to Cedric's tower you scowled. This morning you had overheard the great sorcerer talk to his raven about something he shouldn't have. You remembered how you had been patrolling the garden outside, Cedric was picking some plants as he spoke to his raven about some new potion.
You smiled to yourself as you noticed him. You and Cedric were much too close. Closer than any "friends" should be. Walking towards where he was your ears perked up at something he had said.
"Wormy, we need that amulet!" He chuckled mischievously. "With this potion I'm about to make surely, this time it will be mine!"
You stood in place as you listened in closely. Making sure to be quiet you continued to walk towards him slowly. His back was shown to you as most of his body was surrounded by bushes. Wormwood no were in your sight.
"With the amulet of Avalor, I will be unstoppable!" He paused for a second before nervously chuckling. "We, we will be unstoppable." He corrected himself.
"Amulet of Avalor?" You thought as you tilted your head slightly. "Isn't that Princess Sofia's amulet? What does he mean by unstoppable?"
Coming to a complete stop your questions were answered.
"Once we take over the kingdom, we'll show everyone that we were always better than them! Oh Merlin I can't wait!" He laughed.
"Take over the kingdom!?" Stomping your way over to where he was picking flowers he flinched at the sound of footsteps.
Turning his head to the sound his eyes widened at your angry expression. "A-ah! Y/N! Doing your evening patrolling?" He asked nervously. "Did they hear what I said!?"
"Cedric" You called his name out, your arms crossed against your chest. "What are you doing out here? It's quite hot today wouldn't you agree?" You asked as you decided to not say anything about what you had heard. As much as you needed to do your job as the lead royal guard, you didn't want anything bad to happen to Cedric.
"Huh? O-oh yeah, I guess so." He mumbled nervously.
"Well finish up what you were doing and go inside, I wouldn't want you to suffer a heat stroke." Placing a hand on your hip you stared him up and down.
He got embarrassed by the way you were looking at him and didn't dare meet your gaze.
"Cedric, I don't have night duty. Do you have anything planned tonight?" You asked him, a sly smirk present on your lips.
"Tonight? N-no, I'm not doing anything. Why do you ask...?" He nervously questioned.
From your spot you leaned forward, being careful not to fall into the bush that separated you and Cedric. Placing your hands on his shoulders he squealed, an almost unnoticeable blush spread on his face. "Please do prepare yourself for what's to come. Just remember you placed yourself in this situation."
"W-what? What are you talking about?" He gulped, his adam's apple moving with the action.
"Nothing that you must worry about right now. Just be ready when I come to see you later okay?" You chuckled. "Do me a favor and just make sure it's just the two of us alright?" Sliding your hands off of him you continued to laugh at his reaction. You waved him goodbye as you left. Continuing on your patrolling around the enormous castle.
Once nighttime had rolled around you told your colleagues you would be leaving your post. They told you goodnight as your figure left their vision.
That's how you found yourself walking towards Cedric's tower, climbing the stairs you arrived at his door. It was eerily quiet as you lifted your hand to knock on the wooden door. Knocking you were able to hear him scramble about. A loud "I'm coming!" could be heard from behind the door.
Finally, the door opened, revealing the great sorcerer who was still in his daily robes. "Come in." He said as he pulled you inside in a hurry. Closing the door behind him he looked up at you slightly annoyed. "So what is it? It's already past midnight I thought you would have come sooner, I'm literally about to pass out." He groaned as he rolled his eyes dramatically.
"Please you have no reason to act this way." You talked back as you sighed. Taking off your red guard hat you placed it on his table. The sword on the side of your hip is next to be placed on the table. Sighing once more you spoke loudly. "Look I'm going to go ahead and tell you now." You said as you slammed your hands on Cedric's table harshly. A quiet cry left his lips as he jumped slightly at the sound. "You should really learn to shut your mouth, Cedric, your lucky it was just me and not anyone else." You said as you stepped closer to where he was.
Cedric panicked as he slowly backed up. His back hit the cold stone that made up his tower. "H-huh? What are you talking about Y/N? I'm a little confused about why you're so angry...!"
Grabbing his chin you forced him to look at you. "I know what you're planning Cedric."
His eyes widened and his mouth slightly opened from shock because of what you said."
Let me tell you it's my job to protect the royal family, it's my job to take down anyone and anything that is trying to hurt them in any way." Sliding down the hand that was holding his chin to his neck, you began to apply minimal pressure.
"Wait! P-please I swear I d-didn't mean it. It's just a...a misunderstanding!" He sputtered out.
"Hm? Are you implying that I assumed things?"
"N-no of course not!"
Sighing deeply you began to chuckle at his scared face. "Traitors..." You began to whisper. "Deserve punishment for their actions, wouldn't you agree Cedric?" He gulped as his frightened body trembled. His throat dry, not being able to answer you, you clicked your tongue in annoyance. "It seems you really want to be punished. It's late, I wouldn't want to worry my king at this late hour." You grumbled. Your hold on his neck not faltering.
Cedric released a breath he didn't know he was holding. A sudden idea popped up in Cedric's mind. A bright red blush spread across his face. He realized how close you were to him. Your chest practically touching his. He hated the way your hold on him made him feel. Also, the way you kept repeating that he would be "punished" left his mind straight in the gutter.
Looking down at him you questioned his current expression. "What's this now? Are you seriously enjoying this?" You said in a teasing manner.
At this point, the blush has even spread to the tips of his ears. It took a lot out of him but he managed to say what he was thinking. The words left his lips slowly. "I am..." He said as he looked straight into your eyes. "I...I think that I deserved to be punished."
Your eyes widened at his words. Your mouth left agape for a few seconds before your lips formed into a smirk. "I see...well consider yourself lucky." Pushing your body close to his you allowed his hands to slide down to your hips. He began to let his hands wander farther. Touching and caressing multiple parts of your body. He leaned into you, kissing you he sighed in contentment.
"Cedric" You called out as you separated from him. "Do remember this is a punishment." Grabbing his hands off of you he whined. "No touching unless I say so okay?" He simply nodded his head as he watched you take your guard coat. Your white undershirt is next to leave you.
"Well then, let's begin shall we?"
