SNOW WHITE W/ THE RED HAIR FAN FIC. (I have absolutely no experience in writing so forgive me if it’s not great, but I was inspired 😅)
Title: You, Me, and The Master
It’s a beautiful winter day over in Wirant Castle. It has been 10 years since Master has been posted here as the new warden. My lady, Ryu and I joined him here two years after his arrival, when we completed our journey around the north planting the Phostyrias. Getting approval from different lords around the area was quite the pain, but nothing my lady & little Ryu (who is not so little anymore) couldn’t handle.
Since then, Master and my lady were able to prove themselves to King Izana and were allowed to wed. Princess Kiki married that Lord Hisame and took over her family, raising two daughters to date. Mitsuhide dedicates all his time to Master like normal as the perpetual bachelor he aims to always be.
Me? I’m come and go as needed, supporting Mitsuhide with necessary jobs, making rounds in the castle, and most importantly, continuing to be a bodyguard while assisting my lady in her duties as a court herbalist. Just because she’s a princess now, doesn’t mean her love of Herbal medicine has taken a back seat.
I’m working through my rounds when I spot Zen standing quite awkwardly, looking quite disturbed, against a wall about 10 meters ahead. He looks to be deep in thought when he spots me and calls my name quietly. “Obi”.
“Yes, Master? You raaanngg?” I respond in a joking manner, but he quickly glares at me which tells me to keep my voice down.
“Obi, I need to speak with you on a serious matter. Can you meet me in my quarters in 10 minutes?” Zen asks despondently.
“Of course I can, Master” I respond, matter-of-factly. “Will my lady be joining?”
“No… Or at least not right now. We need to speak privately first. Please do not mention it to Mitsuhide either” Zen states as we walks away briskly.
I stare after him for a moment and make my way towards his quarters using some typical out-of-the-way footpaths.
Entering through the window, I stand in Zen’s room and begin to ponder a little. The number of nights I’ve spent in this room drinking with Zen until the sun rose, the mornings Mitsuhide caught me in here and the very generous scolding I got afterward for doing so. The minor decor that reminds me that this is Zen’s space, and his scent filling the room… his scent…
I start upon Zen entering the room and I hadn’t noticed. “Master! That was quick!”
“Not as quick as you apparently. And how did I even startle you? It’s the middle of the day” Zen stares at me quizzically.
“Oh don’t mind that, just lost in thought. Good looking guys like myself always have to appear like we’re thinking or people assume” I tease gently.
“Oh I see. Well, sorry for interrupting your thoughts” Zen sighs sarcastically, followed with a forlorn look on his face.
“Yeah…. Everything alright Master?”
“Yes!… well, kinda…. No, not really” he sounds almost defeated. It’s very rare to see him in this state. He looks up, staring into my eyes and says “I need your help.”
“Anything for you, you needn’t even ask” I respond honestly. My mind is buzzing on what it could possibly be, but what Master says next is something I couldn’t ever predict.
“I need your help to make a baby”
My face and mind go completely blank for what seems like an eternity, before responding “I appreciate the flattery but you know, no matter how hard we try, we can’t make a baby”.
“I’m well aware of that Obi and I didn’t mean me, per se.” He takes a deep breath. “I’m talking about your help to give Shirayuki and I a baby”
I can feel the color draining instantly from my face. “I’m going to need some more details Master”.
Zen pauses to look around the room, narrowing in of a photo of My Lady and him, a slight smile and sad eyes dawning on his face.
“It goes without saying that Shirayuki and I have been married for quite some time and we have never gotten pregnant, not once.” He begins to pace around the room. “We suspected that we might be infertile, so we visited some specialists in Lilas, and confirmed that… unfortunately I am unable to produce children. Shirayuki’s body, however, is perfectly normal and able to carry.”
Zen pauses to look at me, observing the cold sweat misting my skin. “We would like to have a child to call our own. And yes, we could always adopt, but I can tell Shirayuki seems sad at the thought of not carrying a child. She’s gone so long without family, and I’d like to give her something she’s missed a lot of her life”.
Zen steps closer to me, close enough to share the same breath assuming I was even breathing at all. “There is no one I trust more in this world to give my wife what she deserves than you, besides me of course” he says with a smirk. “I would like to ask if you could help Shirayuki and I build a family”.
The world is beginning to spin around me. Is he really asking me to lay with My Lady? To place my child inside of her? To have a glimmer of a fantasy I had laid to rest so many years ago?
“Obi, you look like you’re about to pass out. Would you like to sit-” Before he finishes his question, I stumble to the edge of his bed and sit, staring down at the ground.
After a moment, a glass appears in my vision filled with what I perceive a strong brandy. Grabbing it, I swallow the contents in one fell swoop, barely tasting it but the warmth in my belly beginning to spread into my limbs and giving me a moment to breathe.
“Understandably, it’s a huge request. You’re under no obligation to say yes, of course. But if I were to ask anyone, I knew it had to be you. Just take the time you need to consider it.”
I look up at him, into his deep sapphire blue eyes, and respond “Yes… I’ll do it”.
Zen looks almost shocked. “Really? You don’t want to take some time to think about it?”
“What’s there to think about?” There’s so much to think about, but I continue “You know how much I care for you and my lady, and there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you both. If this is what you want, and it’s something only I can do, I’d happily do it for you”. I stand to meet him eye-to-eye. “You just let me know what you need, and I’ll see to make it happen Master”.
Zen offers his hand to me, and I stand and return the handshake firmly. “This means a lot to us, Obi”. He releases my hand, and states “I presented this idea to Shirayuki and we’ve discussed the matter extensively. She agreed to only move forward with this idea if you were completely onboard. Now, I can let her know.” Zen takes another swig of his drink.
“So, what’s our next step here?” I ask. Not that I’m unfamiliar with the process needed to make a child, but I’m confident these two have figured everything out down to the last detail.
“Shirayuki has calculated when she should be ovulating next, and should be entering the phase starting today”. Zen sets his glass down as I state “Well this is a quick turn of events. Couldn’t give me a chance to back out, huh Master?”. I start to refill our glasses.
“I figured a decision would be made later, giving us more time to prepare. But given your quick response, and the timing is just right, we could start today” With one last swig of his drink, Zen starts to depart. Before grabbing the handle of the door, Zen turns and says "I think this goes without saying, but we need to be discreet. Last thing we want is to cause a scandal for the palace and issues in legitimacy. Meet us at midnight in the West wing, second floor, the third room on the left."
"Just one moment Master" I stand, reasoning coming back to me in this moment. "But what... what if the child inherits any of my features? How are you going to explain why this child might not look like you?"
"We've thought about that. If the child looks like Shirayuki, we shouldn't have any issues. If they look more like you or a blend of you, we'll simply have it recorded that the child is adopted. Regardless, I will love him or her as much as my own and vow to raise them befitting of their station. But..." Zen stops to look at me, lowering his eyes to ground. "I know you love Shirayuki, and I'm sorry that you will have to serve this child as you serve us, instead of bei--"
"Oh Master! Don't you worry, I completely understand. My love for you both is enough to give this to you. I'm not much of a family man anyways, and this child deserves to be free of my past and mistakes." I gently bow in his direction. "I'm sure you have duties awaiting you. I will meet at the designated time and location".
Zen nods slightly, leaving with "Good, I will see you later" and the door clicks shut.
As I stand in Zen's room alone, I grip my chest as quiet panic starts to set in. A child.... a child with Shirayuki... a child for Shirayuki and Zen to raise. They trust me enough for this? Zen trusts me enough to be near her in this way? What do I do? My love... my love for her is so strong it hurts. It always has been. Will I be able to give her what they want? Will I... be able to walk away from this child?
The thought snaps me back into focus. I've never wanted children, so this invasive thought is not needed. Calm settles back into me as I truly cement my decision.
I do love Shirayuki, and Zen, to give them this. I've been in tougher situations, I can get through this. I can walk into that room tonight, give her my seed, and walk away. Yeah, just make love to her..
My cock twitches at the thoughts swirling in my mind. Down boy, I think down to him. It's too early for that now. Let's just get through the day.
I depart Zen's room, fighting down the thoughts in order to continue the rest of the day.
That's it for chapter 1! Let me know if you like it, if I should make a chapter 2, or any feedback for better writing (please be kind, I cry easy)
