Day 11!!! RoyalxKnight
how many expected Ru as the Royal? Naw. Too easy. Flustered knight he is!
The ficlet doesn’t actually have some ruclipse today but it deals with their relationship and of course Craft being the shipper on deck
“Shouldn’t I be the knight?” Eclipse asked as they stood in the costume department at Dead Bird Studios.
“Psh. I don’t want you in armor.” Craft waved a floppy sleeve annoyed, “Besides, he’s ALWAYS a prince! This is a good change up.” they snickered, “Do you not like the idea?”
“I mean It’s cute, to do a small play for little birds. But I just. I don’t know it’s weird for me to be the royal…”
“Little birds love the strong pretty princess saving her knight from the malicious twin trouble aliens.” Craft laughed, goo dripping down their chin. “Aw peck.” the wiped at it, “This dimension is the worst at hold up.” they huffed.
“Maybe you should eat some gelatin!” she suggested.
The paused, “That’s actually not a horrid idea.” they frowned, “After we get costumes set!” they snickered again, “alright I have a few different princess gowns, pick the one you prefer.”
She frowned, “I wonder which Snatcher will like best.” she frowned looking at them.
“Don’t you mean princ---” Craft stopped and stared at her as she looked at the outfits, “Moonsong… Do… are you…”
“Mmhm.” she mumbled as she pulled on out to hold it against herself, “He’ll tell me when he’s ready so i’m not pushing it.”
The shapeshifter raised a hand and paused, mouth agape. They started to laugh loudly, “OH MY COD!!!” they bellowed, “WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO EXPOSE HIM FOR MONTHS AND YOU KNEW?!”
“Is that why you are all so pushy?” she raised an eyebrow and huffed. She put the gown up, “As I said. He’ll tell me when he’s ready. It’s not that big a deal.” she laughed, “I get to hear my most important person tell me sweet things and he’s a little slow on the upkeep.” she giggled.
“Oh. my. Gosh. MOONSONG!” Craft couldn’t stop laughing as she smiled, “Oh this is so you but also, him and I’m just! HAH!”
She frowned and put her hands on her hips with an annoyed sigh, “Look, our relationship is between us you know.” she was a little red faced, “If his little game makes it easier then fine. I know he cares one way or another.” she scowled, “I wish he’d trust me to tell me though but I haven’t made it easy… with my whole… lonely man things…” she sighed heavily.
Craft watched and gave a soft smile, “well. Then I’m sure it will work out… I guess this explains why you let him get so touchy.” they snickered.
“Mmhm!” she grinned cheekily, “I love him!” she giggled. She looked at the gowns again and sighed, “Can you go get him? I can’t pick.”
“Mmhm. I have a better idea.” The shifter moved along the racks and pulled one out a glittering lavender gown, “How about this?” they suggested, “You like to match him right?”
She turned bright red as she looked at it and ran her hands over the fabric, “I-Isn’t this too fancy for me?”
“Then it’s perfect for a princess.” Craft chuckled, “why don’t you put it on? I’ll go check on his noodliness! And don’t worry I won’t let him know you know Moonsong~!”
She held the dress in her hands and gave a small smile as she headed to get changed. She hoped he’d like it.
