⟢ My Sunshine.
Leona Kingscholar x reader fluff
Leona gets so flustered whenever he hears that particular nickname you've chosen for him. Sunshine.
And you say it so naturally, too. Like the shining sun in the sky really is what comes to mind when you gaze upon him. How could that be? How could someone like him who brings only destruction and anguish with a touch of his hand be akin to the sun at all?
He once questioned you about the nickname. If you really meant it. And you just replied, "Of course I do! Even though the sun has the potential to burn us, we would be cold and dead without it! If we chose to only focus on the harm the sun could do, we would be ignoring the fact that it brings warmth and life that nothing could ever replace. Just like you.”
You still call him Sunshine every day. You still join him in his warm bed after your classes with a kiss on the cheek and a sickeningly sweet, "Hi, Sunshine!". You haven't given it up yet. Prince Leona’s only ever been a disappointment from the day he was born. And yet, you reach for him like he's the warmth you've been missing all your life. You still haven't changed your mind about him.
He tells himself he can't let you know how much that particular nickname means to him. He can't embarrass himself like that, nor can he let himself believe you and open his fragile heart up to even more grief when you inevitably decide you deserve better than him. He knows he wouldn't be able to take it. Still, he can't deny the way his ears perk up and his tail stirs with excitement when you call out to him. “My Sunshine”. Your Sunshine. Yours. It makes his stomach churn with pathetic butterflies.
…But maybe, someday in your future together, there is a sunrise waiting for him where he does believe you. A day when Leona wakes up and finds that that cruel, self-deprecating voice in his head has shrunk so small that it no longer drowns out the earnest love you whisper to him. Chipped away by your patient hands like Pygmalion sculpting Galatea, with no other end goal than to demonstrate a fraction of the love you feel for him. Slowly…so slowly that he didn't even notice it happening…your words became the voice he hears in his head.
You are loved, My Sunshine.
