Thank you ahhh > _ <
The morning sun crept through the velvet curtains, gold spilling across the royal chamber.
And there he was. The King. The fearsome, untouchable Ghost.
Pinned. Absolutely pinned.
Simon lay flat on his back, crown nowhere in sight, mask discarded on the bedside table. His arm was hooked protectively around you, your face tucked against his chest, crown of your hair a mess against his skin. On his other side, Johnny was sprawled like a starfish, one leg thrown haphazardly across the King’s waist, mouth open as he snored softly.
Three bodies knotted together under one blanket, the kingdom’s greatest secret: its monarch didn’t sleep alone.
“Simon,” you mumbled against his sternum, voice still groggy. “Court… in an hour.”
“Don’t remind me,” he muttered, eyes still closed. His voice was rough, almost petulant. “Five more minutes.”
From the other side of the bed came a muffled, sleep-drunk laugh. Soap cracked one eye open, hair sticking in every direction. “If we’re late again, the council’s gonna start a revolt. ‘Specially if they find out it’s ‘cause their glorious king’s been playin’ little spoon.”
Simon tensed. “I am not the little—”
“Yes ye are,” Soap cut in gleefully, tightening his arm around him like a koala. “Look at ye, all cozy and cuddled. Adorable.”
You bit back a giggle, propping yourself up just enough to kiss Simon’s jaw before he could argue. “He’s right. Adorable.”
That earned you both a scowl dark enough to curdle milk—though the tips of his ears flushed scarlet.
Then came the knock. Loud. Impatient.
“Your Majesty? Council is assembled!”
The three of you froze.
You could practically feel Simon’s soul leave his body as he shoved at Soap, who only clung tighter, laughing into his shoulder. “Go on then, mighty king, lead us to duty with bedhead and love bites.”
You were already stumbling out of bed, yanking a robe around your shoulders, trying not to laugh. Simon was half-dragging, half-carrying Soap off him, growling curses under his breath while you searched for his crown.
Minutes later, the three of you stumbled out of the royal quarters. You, still tying your robe; Soap, bells crooked on his half-buttoned motley; and Simon, hair mussed, jaw tight, crown slightly askew.
To the world, he was the unshakable monarch.
To you and Soap? He was just your grumpy king who’d woken up late because his consort and his jester wouldn’t stop cuddling him.
And God help the council if they ever found out.
