Our Final Goodbyes - original shit
"So, you are leaving tonight?"
She asked even though she already knew the answer. Her heart ached as the words got out. She has always known this day would come. The day that her love would leave her. It wasn't as if she was a princess he could marry, after all. She was just a girl that worked at the library. Nothing more, nothing less.
But that hadn't stopped her from hoping. Hoping that he would stay with her. Maybe run away with her, be a normal boy in the city. Or maybe trying to take her as his wife, like those princes in the books she read. But this was no story, and he was not stupid enough for that. So she resigned herself for heartbreak, knowing that every minute was precious.
Her prince shyly looked up from the ground he was staring to look her in the eye. He flushed a bit as their eyes met and looked down again. Then he slumped his shoulders and spoke sadly:
"Yes, I will my love. I have tried everything to make my parents listen but we will go back, whether I like it or not. Are you angry at me?"
She smiled a bit at his adorableness and replied.
"No, my dear. Why would I be angry with you? We both knew this day would come, sooner or later. If anything, you should be angry with me. Not the opposite."
At that, his dark eyes snapped at her in shock and he asked confused.
"How could I be angry with you? You have given me the best months of my entire life. You made me experience pure love, something I would have never dreamed of feeling had it not been for you.", He looked back at the castle that the music was coming from, "I have just expected to be married off to a wealthy princess, when I first came here. Not find the love of my life, and especially not her chewing me out because I made her drop her books."
They both chuckled at the memory that seemed far away now. It had been an interesting meeting, that one.
"And I didn't expect the visiting prince to make me fall for him the moment we met! Can you imagine? Then the idiot tried to help me up, only to fall on me because he stepped on my books!"
He looked at her and shouted amusedly:
"Hey! I'm not an idiot! If anything, you were the idiot for swearing at a prince in a hall where people were going around! You almost gave your mother a heart attack!"
She raised an eyebrow and smiled at him,
"Oh, yes, I remember that. But I also remember a little prince blushing and stammering out apologies for 5 minutes before he even tried to get up! Then apologising for another 5 minutes and not helping me collect my books at all! What do you have say for that, love?"
She batted her eyelashes at him as he pointedly looked away while starting to blush up to his ears.
"Well, I was embarrassed. It was the first time a girl ever spoke to me outside the balls, not counting my relatives and Mother. And she was scolding me! It was really embarrassing!"
They laughed. When they stopped they looked at each other and smiled softly. They loved each other, that was a given. It could be seen clearly in the way they spoke and the way they acted around eachother.
Slowly, like they had all the time in the world, their lips connected in a sweet kiss. A kiss made of pure and inconvenient love. A kiss that was never meant to be, but was there anyways. After a while, they slowly broke their kiss and looked at the other in the eyes.
One of her hands came to cup his face in her hands and he pressed his face into it. She wanted to remember this forever; this night, his voice, his lips, his face. She wanted to remember him forever. Him; her love, her prince, her darling. But he was never hers to keep, so she softly put her hand down and hugged him close.
They hugged in the night, knowing that this was it. That this was the end. The end of them as they whispered their final goodbyes.
