addam defending his s/o
pairing: addam origo x gn!reader
tags: commoner!reader x lord!addam, established romantic relationship, zettar being a terrible person, protective!addam
addam doesn't think of himself as anyone special, despite being the lord of the aletta region and the driver of the aegis. and yet, that doesn't mean other people don't view him differently
you come from humble backgrounds, compared to addam. and while addam has never cared about your social standing or your (lack of) wealth, some people sure do care about it!
ever since you started dating addam, his uncle zettar had quietly disapproved of your relationship. but he hadn't dared speak up against you, until addam announced his plans to marry you
it was supposed to be a happy moment, one where his family congratulates the two of you. but for zettar, it was the moment to finally snap and tell addam that you, a commoner, have no place in this family!
addam remained calm the entire time zettar yelled at him, holding your hand underneath the table and giving it a reassuring squeeze. you almost expected addam to just ignore his yelling and ignore him, but addam was waiting for zettar to exhaust himself, before he snapped back
“you might be my family, but you have no say in who i marry and who i don't. i came to get your blessing, not your permission. even if you're against this marriage, that won't stop me. i will marry for love only, not for something as shallow as social standing. i can only hope that one day you find someone who loves you regardless of your personality and you finally understand how i feel about my partner.”
