"...do you love me?"
he glanced up, his eyes radiant in the setting sun and his hair mussed up. it was unfair how beautiful he was.
...it was unfair how he was so damn beautiful without even trying.
blinking back into focus, you watch as his nose scrunched upโ€”don't even get you started on that adorable little nose scrunchโ€”and the way his lips curved into a little smirk.
"you know that answer... idiot."
now it was your turn to scrunch your nose up, scowling at him as you crossed your armsโ€”not appreciating the way he seemed to be enjoying your indignation.
"rude. but you're not answering the questionโ€”do you love me orโ€”"
he scoffed at you, his eyebrows furrowing as he glanced you over.
"mmm. yeah, i love you." he paused, hesitating...
"i would be a fuckin' fool not to."

something about boyfriend!katsuki idk..
Tumblr media
he's just such a good boyfriend. so considerate and smart, he'd remember every small detail about things you'd tell him.
physical touch is his love language. idc idc. he's going to hold you hand, hug you, kiss you, something that involves him on you always.
study dates, he used to sneak off alone to go study, and now he has you! you two study.. mixed in with a bit of kissing now and then but your grades have never been higher.
sigh.. training together and trying to pin eachother down. flipping and tossing eachother over, staring eachother in the eyes as you fight with all your might to pin each other down, not like either of you lose in the end, as the winner usually just ends up making out with you on the floor.
being friends with his mom, like sometimes you'd go over to his house just to hang out with her. she had amazing fashion sense, she'd even do those color consultation things on you for free. she just adored her future daughter in law.
katsuki would get you a promise ring. he'd do it for your anniversary, after a romantic day out. the ring would be simple, with a heart on it.
but your wedding ring would be special. he'd take you on a trip, have your closest friends and family there too secretly. he'd take you to a place with an amazing view, he usually paid for your manicures, so your hands were glowing especially for today. he got down on one knee and waited anxiously for your answer, when you said yes he slipped it onto you, kissing you passionately as your close ones came out to congratulate you. :((((

izuku midoriya did not expect you to barge into his class right in the middle of teaching.
your face was sweaty, a almost panicked look in your eyes as you stood gasping at the doorway, your hand clutching a white plastic bag.
he couldn't really blame his students for becoming startled, because you did look rather ominous with your all-black clothing and that crazed look on your faceโ€”you were so adorable though, even if you seemed like you were about to set fire to his classroomโ€”so he lifted a single hand to calm down his shouting students.
which didn't work.
"sensei! is that a villan-?!"
"we're all dead we're all dead we're SO DEA-"
"shut up, we're literally in a building full of pro-heroes-!"
"who is that-"
"bean."
izuku sighed, giving up on controlling his class. he walked over to you, looking rather handsome with his green hair all touseled, his perfectly tailored clothes fitting his lean frame... oh you fell in love again, just by seeing that gentle look in his eyes.
resist. resist. you will not be weakened by a single charming grin-
you nearly melted into a pile of mush as he smiled at you, wrapping a singular arm around your waist.
"h-hey. what are you doing here?"
you frowned up at him, brandishing the plastic bag at him, the annoyed facade dripping off with each second. a small flush covered his face as he peeked inside.
"you forgot your lunch." you mutter, gazing at the class.
a very rowdy class. you squirmed as they all continued to stare at you, the arguments slowly silencing as everyone became aware that you were probably not a villain.
it got silent.
were those crickets chirping in the background?
"i should probably go-"
"yeah... yeah, maybe. do you think you can... come back to eat lunch with me?" he whispers, a hopeful glint in his emerald eyes as he clutches his bento box.
you chuckle and nod, "yes. i'll be back later, 'kay? try not to miss me that much."
izuku nods, stars in his eyesโ€”its you. you're his starโ€”and he presses a quick kiss against your lips (because fuck pda) and watched you go, red prominently shown on his face and a dreamy smile on his wistful face.
oh right he has students. he's supposed to be teaching.
he quickly turned to the class, gingerly putting the plastic bag on his desk as he attempted to form a proper explanation.
the class bombarded him with questions before he could even say what was about to fall out of his mouth.
"sensei, who was that?!"
"was that another hero?!"
"is that your partner, sensei?"
he nods absently, his mind absently replaying the moments he had with you, a love-struck expression on his face.
he looked like a fool in love.
mainly because he is a fool in love.

"you want some swedish fish?" you ask, curiously glancing over at katsuki bakugou who was currently reading though a book.
He glanced at you, his eyes briefly softening as he met your gaze. Then he snorted and shifted where he was sitting on your bed, contempt entering his voice. "the fuck is a swedish fish?"
you glance at him, then glance at the bag in your hand.
"this is a swedish fis-"
"no."
bakugou turned back to his book while you gaped at him. "but you didn't even try i-"
he shook his head, firmly stating a simple, "no" before glancing over at your slightly crestfallen face.
'..that fuckin' face.' he thought, grumbling as he reached over to snatch one of the red fish candies from out of the bag, staring at it with disdain. you smile at him, pulling a handful of the candies out of the bag and putting it in your mouth all at once.
he loves you, but that was horrifying. he sighed and ate the candy, his nose scrunching up with disgust.
"tastes like dust." he mumbled, his lips curling into a grimace.
he took another candy and ate it, much to your surprise. you raise a singular eyebrow, watching as the grimace faded away. "I thought you said it tasted like dust."
he rolled his eyes, flipping to the next page of his book. "it does."
"so then why are you still eating more?" you ask, watching him shrug, his face wearing a nonchalant expression as he responds.
"....because it tastes sweeter with you around."

"yeah? somethin' wrong?"
you sigh with relief as you hearย ryomen sukuna'sย comfortingโ€”but slightly annoyedโ€”voice on the other end of your call. gripping your phone tighter, you stare down at the screen, wishing to see his face, not just hear his voice. "can you get me out of here?"
a few seconds ticked by and you stare at the bathroom stall door. you arrived here, about... thirty minutes ago? for a job interview at a high-profile company. "is the interview over already?"
you nod, then scowl realising he can't see it. "yeah."
sukuna sighed, a few incomprehensible curses sounding from your phone. "yeah. sure. I'll be there in 10." he muttered, sounding resigned. you grin, staring down at the device in your hand, relishing in the butterflies that curled up your stomach.
"you're the best, ryo. also can you get me some cheeto-" the call ended as soon as that last sentence fell from your lips.
you huff, mumbling a soft "rude," as you stand up.
then you decide to wait in the bathroom because you did not want to face the stares of the employees passing by. sure enough, about nine minutes later, your phone dings with four messages, all from sukuna.
i got ur fuckin cheetos brat im at the front hurry up its raining u r lucky i love u btw why r u so slow im missing my movie read 1:08

"Stop moving you brat."
Huffing as you wiggle around in Sukuna's tight grip, you slightly turn your head sideways to aim a condescending glare at the indignant man.
"I'm not comfy though-"
"Well, I am."
Sukuna muttered, tightening his grip as you attempted to lurch out of his hold.
It was your fault that you were stuck in this situation and now it was up to you to get out of it.
That is, if you can....
"ryo, can you please let me g-"
"Nope."
"I have to use the bathroom!"
"That sucks for you."
"...i'm about to take a massive shit on your leg."
"Stop lying."
You groan and squirm in his grip again, purposely kicking him in a vain attempt to escape his grasp.
No luck.
"Stay still."
Rolling over and practically crushing you with his weight, he smirked down at you a soft gaze in his carmine eyes.
"I'm stuck with you arn't i?"
He chuckled softly and leaned down to give you a gentle kiss on your lips.
"You're always stuck with me, brat."

๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐€๐†๐„ ๐Ž๐… ๐„๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐“, there was a birthday celebration held for the crown prince tลya of the todoroki royal family. his turquoise gaze briefly rushed past the crowd in boredom, looking forward to the end of the day already. even as a young prince, he never found anything in the royal events intriguing.
his birthday was no different. as a child of eight years, he already felt like he knew the darkest secrets of the world, the ones that were locked away to the underworld for the reapers of hell to deal with.
prince tลya sat with his family, seated between his sister and brother, both younger than him. as his eyes roamed around, they came to a halt the moment they landed on eyes that sternly looked around. tลya ceased his chewing for a second, staring at the owner whom those stern gaze belonged to.
โ€œfuyumi, natsu, can little girls become warriors?โ€ the curious prince asked, tilting his head to the side, his gaze never leaving the little figure that stood by taller ones.
fuyumi followed her elder brother's gaze. she has just spoken to the girl that stood beside honourable warriors and soldiers. the princess could feel a smile surfacing at the sight of little eight year old you, mimicking your father and his comrades to serve as guards of the party.
โ€œthat is y/n! kuromiya y/n, she's the daughter of the general.โ€
โ€œdaughter of the general?โ€ tลya repeated, his tone twisting into curiousity. he resumed his chewing before swallowing. โ€œi didn't know general kuromiya had a daughterโ€ฆโ€
the younger prince popped a bite of a monkfish, chewing it to taste the flavour before beaming with satisfaction. the fish was fresh and amazing. firm texture, a refined sweetness with a clean aftertaste.
โ€œshe follows her father around a lot, brother. you might get to see her more often.โ€
just as the crown prince pondered on his brother's words, you looked around, eyes and senses all together alert for any danger that might strike. then, your gaze traveled to the young crown prince, freezing upon his gaze which was locked on yours.
in your eight year old mind, it is rude to stare at people of nobility and royalty. so you quickly looked down at your feet, afraid that perhaps the crown prince might tell of your discourtesy to the king and queen. if that is the case, your eyes will certainly be gouged out the fingers of an executioner.
you shivered at that thought, feeling your father's arms resting on your shoulders as you looked up at the huge man.
โ€œanxious, little warrior?โ€ asked your father as he bent down to your eye level.
you shook your head, fingers grazing at the corner of your eye sockets. โ€œmy eyes are going to be plucked out, father. i stared at the crown prince for too long..โ€
your words made the general raise a brow before he chuckled, a roaring laughter emitting from the back of his throat as you simply stood there in confusion. the man tells you that you shouldn't worry about staring at the prince for way too long, because he noticed that the young todoroki also has his gaze on you the moment he sat down to eat.
you calmed down a little. just a little, though.
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐€๐†๐„ ๐Ž๐… ๐“๐„๐, you excel in kyลซjutsu, the art of archery. supposedly, you are a natural in the field of long-range attacks, never a loyal servant to the close-ranged such as a blade.
crown prince tลya did not like the fact that there is a soul who dared to take his place as the most supreme in a field. he would occasionally grumble, roll his turquoise eyes, and repeatedly tap his feet on the ground whenever you overtake his arrows in a much more professional way.
he silently cursed you for having a father that is idealistically superb in the field of archery, since your father specializes in serving the king as his eye during battle. tลya simply couldn't stand the fact that a mere girl is better at something he should be good at.
so one day, the young prince approached you as you were firing your shots in the archery academy. you never falter even as he stood behind you, his gaze burning into your back as you ever so calmly shoot arrows repeatedly. one by one, each arrow that overlapped the other, completely tearing the previous one out.
โ€œyou're not very girly are you? shooting arrows like how a soldier is supposed to do that,โ€ the prince said, eventually breaking your momentum with his childish and immature words. your arrow did not overlap the previous one. instead, it went a bit over the bullseye, eyes immediately shooting glares at the prince who watched you with furrowed eyebrows.
โ€œthat is rude, don't you think, your highness?โ€ you lowered your bow, face twisting into a frown.
tลya shrugged. โ€œnope. i mean, you're the only girl in the archery academy! yet the only one who's genuinely good at shooting a bunch ofโ€ฆ stupid arrows...โ€
his words are uttered with frustration, let loose like a curse through gritted teeth. you noticed that his cheeks are a bit flushed, as if they have been covered in blush that was extracted from red ochre.
โ€œyour highness, i believe you caught a cold. your cheeks are red,โ€ you pointed at the prince as he flushed even redder, his feet moving to stomp away.
โ€œi-iโ€™m not sick!โ€
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐€๐†๐„ ๐Ž๐… ๐“๐‡๐ˆ๐‘๐“๐„๐„๐, the crown prince hunted his first live animal to present it to his parents as a trophy and a remembrance piece of his first hunt. of course, the todoroki family is proud, even little prince shลto who gave his brother the littlest of claps.
on the other hand, you stood by your father, watching the royal family's interaction. your eyes might be on the sweet family, but your mind wanders right to the cuts and bruises that tลya received when he hunted for the animal.
your fingers twitched slightly, resisting any urge to pull away the prince from his family just to force him into treating his wounds. the prince is smart. he hides his newly-received marks with layer upon layers of cloth, allowing it to seem like a gear when in reality, it stains his skin dirty.
but you knew. you were with the prince when you hunted with him, assisting your father.
โ€œfather, i know it's a crime. but do you mind stealing the prince away?โ€
so that same day at night, when the military army discusses their plans about the next battle, you're in the room of your friend-enemy, telling him to stop moving around and sit still as you tend to his wounds.
poor tลya, his wounds left unattended for the whole day and only treated at night. you knew the crown prince is stubborn enough to not pay a visit to the family doctor just to get himself treated, so you'd rather get medical knowledge just to treat a stubborn prince.
he's such a hard wall to break too, always putting up a faรงade that he's so strong and independent wherein he really is just a child who seeks to be the best and to live up to the expectations of the country as its prince.
the colour turquoise is practically imprinted in the skin of your fingers and hands now, having the prince to stare at you working your hands so skillfully to patch him up without trying to tickle a burn or torn skin.
with such silence, the boy moved his gaze upwards, now staring at your face which was so focused on patching him up. tลya searches for a reason in your focused eyes, attempting to find a reason as to why you would stick around to help him with such stupidity.
tลya couldn't help but feel heat rising up to his cheeks, even if his lips are still and his gaze is still locked onto your face. he takes in your feature, your beautiful features that has him in an unbreakable trance.
he wonders just why in the world would you want to be a warrior that will eventually stain your precious face with splatters of the enemy's blood instead of the snowflakes that would paint your cheeks a rosy hue.
โ€œyour highnessโ€ฆ prince tลya,โ€ you called out, waving your hands in front of his face before he snapped out of his daydreaming, fluttering his eyes a little.
โ€œyou were staring, your highness.โ€
not again. he's been caught doing that so many times it is almost easy to catch him staring. specifically, his gaze is on you, always you. as tลya grows older, he gets smarter than the age he was before. he's quick to act now.
โ€œiโ€™m not. iโ€™m looking at the candle behind you,โ€ the crown prince lied as if he's telling the truth. it flows down his tongue so smoothly, like the waters in the lake that dances forward.
he will never admit the fact that he was just daydreaming and wondering about you into the unknown. no, never. the prince will never embarrass himself with a mere girl that is just a tad bit better than him in archery.
he moves his hands and arms, slightly wincing at the sore.
โ€œyou should rest, your highness. i shall take my leave now,โ€ you bowed at the prince, standing up before leaving him alone, not even staying to listen to whatever regards he might have kept in stock for you when his mind travelled to the back of his mind.
crown prince tลya laid down, holding his hands up in the air as his mind once again replayed the images of you treating his wounds. it played in his mind over and over again as if the memories were an old stop motion film.
โ€œwhat a bother,โ€ he murmured under his breath before covering his turquoise eyes with the back of his hands, covering an initial blush that started building up along the heat of the candle before he blew it off to have his rest.
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐€๐†๐„ ๐Ž๐… ๐…๐ˆ๐…๐“๐„๐„๐, you are presented to the crown prince as his retainer upon joining the military ranks. however, the prince isn't delighted in the least at the idea of having a girl as his personal follower.
he tells the king, the general, and youโ€” that he is capable of protecting himself and has no need for a retainer, let alone someone of the opposite gender. tลya isn't keen on bringing a girl to the battlefield where she has to protect him. it makes him feel absolutely pathetic.
despite despising the entire ordeal of you being his personal servant, his mind changed a little when you got on your knees to vow and promise your life to the prince.
โ€œyour highness, i ask that you use me. i am your eye, the one who will look after your back or your front in battles. i swore to lay my life down for you, crown prince tลya.โ€
tลya wanted to protest, to tell you in your face that you are not supposed to be the one doing that. he wants to tell you to stand up immediately and ask that you leave. but he knows all too well that in his weaknesses, there's strength.
you are his strength. you are the one that will cover for his one weakness and complete him. crown prince tลya does not want to protest anymore. he is too tired to let any word slip out from the tip of his tongue anyway. so he only lets out one simple sigh.
that one sigh that told the warmth of your heart that the prince is all the more appreciating your dedication to serve him until death.
he will be sure to use you well as his eye.
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐€๐†๐„ ๐Ž๐… ๐’๐ˆ๐—๐“๐„๐„๐, the eavesdropping ears of the young boy pondered upon the conversation between the general and the lieutenant general. they speak about the coming of age for the general's daughter.
her birthday is coming up very soon. and at the sixteenth birthday of a girl marks her age of legality. her youth and beauty is at its finest. to be dressed in silk, expensive makeup and be wedded to a man is the standard life of a woman.
โ€œmy wife and i will celebrate her birthday, do not fret,โ€ said general kuromiya to his lieutenant. โ€œwe have not celebrated her birthday in a few years because of how busy the military gets. but, we've cleared some time for our girl's special day.โ€
tลya hears the lieutenant chuckle then speaking. โ€œif your daughter isn't the crown princeโ€™s retainer, are you going to arrange your daughter into marriage with a noble?โ€
upon hearing those words, tลya furrowed his eyebrows. it is as if those words were the sharpest of blades ever forged which had just impaled the skull of the todoroki.
his mind is a mixture of curiousity and anger. curiousity for the wanderer mind, and anger for the mind that remained. he could not pick one emotion to feel.
how could the lieutenant speak of such things to the general about his daughter?
and even so, the thought of you being arranged into a marriage with a noble tickles the back of his mind where his pent-up frustration and anger is kept in the dark. he might not be fond of the idea of you becoming his retainer a year ago, but he isn't exactly fond of the idea of you being a normal girl and being wedded to one of those wretched nobles.
if there's anything he did get from eavesdropping, that is that your sixteen birthday is in a week. and he spent a whole week thinking about it.
during missions, visiting a neighbouring village, meeting the citizens and villagers to offer services, hunting, training. whatever that was on the princeโ€™s agenda. he could not get your birthday out of his mind.
when the general's small team along with you and the prince walked through a rather busy city, tลya finally set his mind on a specific subject for your birthday.
he watched in silence beside you as the both of you ventured into a shop that sold all clothing essentials. some of your gears are ruined from the previous hunt, and this is a great opportunity to purchase some items to fix your gears.
your eyes flickered at each corner of the store in search of your desired items. but occasionally, they come to a halt at a few jewelries that were on display. the beautiful blinking ones that beautiful women wear in their hair.
tลya sees you staring at pretty hairpins, and his gaze switches to your hair, wrapped in a topknot that he has never seen falling before. the prince doesn't even know if you even knew how to place a hairpin in your hair. well whatever, he now knows what he's going to give you for your birthday as a great and loving prince to his beloved retainer.
on the night of your birthday, a nicely wrapped rectangle box appeared on your windowsill as you were cleaning your arrows. crippling curiousity overflowed from you as you opened it, eyes widening in surprise at the content inside the box.
there it is, a hairpin which colour perfectly matches the hue of your eye. it was custom made, you can tell, since such a colour isn't so easy to be made into a hairpiece.
regardless of the surprise, you cannot fathom your imagination on who could've given you such a beautiful thing. you opened a supposedly jewelry box and looked at yourself in the tiny mirror before beginning to let your hair down, brush it, and tie it like the girls on the streets with pretty hair and pretty kimono. at last, you set the hairpin in your hair, fingers caressing the metal piece.
such a sight to behold . . . it made tลyaโ€™s heart flutter at the sight of you with your hair down, the hairpin beautiful set in your hair. he isn't going to fall for this absurdity though, considering how he just sneaked in the manor of the kuromiya family and swiftly placed your gift on your windowsill.
he clicked his tongue in annoyance. annoyance in himself for committing such a ridiculous thing and all for such a foolish reason.
all for his eyes to watch as the corner of your lips curved into a sickeningly warm smile which twisted at his lower abdomen and in return, granted him a moment to admire you with a lovesick gaze.
you looked extremely beautiful with the hairpin.
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐€๐†๐„ ๐Ž๐… ๐„๐ˆ๐†๐‡๐“๐„๐„๐, at one of the days where you are off duty from serving the prince, you attend a party with your father insteadโ€” as his daughter. the daughter and the heiress of the kuromiya family.
not seen as a military officer or a servant of justice, you are present as the daughter of the honoured general and a woman of the kuromiya house.
dressed in the finest silk of the kimono found in that age with a dolled up face and beautifully brushed hair.
tลya of the todoroki family isn't a prince at that moment. he is a normal guest at that party. this is not his party, he only arrived because he was invited by the general.
but gosh, from heaven and back and for the love of the twinkling stars in the universe, he could not tear his gaze off of you. he has never in his entire life seen you so proper, so ladylike and poised.
it was like a whole new different person to him. the only thing that remained the same is the hairpin that was sticking out from your little bun, the extra pieces dangling to and back.
his heart flutters at the sight of you covering your mouth in utmost manner as you smiled and laughed at the other guests. you've greeted the man you've served, that's for sure. but he isn't the only one you have to entertain for the night. and somehow, he doesn't mind being like that, treated like any other normal guests and not being pestered by other souls.
familiar turquoise eyes keep making their way to yours, never plucking them off of you as you conversed through the night. he couldn't help it, he couldn't look away from such beauty. it was too overwhelming for the prince to handle.
it twists at his cold heart that tonightโ€” you wouldn't speak to him that much, or even walk by his side. his insides did a little pout at the realisation at that very simple fact that you have no time for him.
however, the moment his gaze lingered onto her, his feet moved on its own to approach you, intrusively grabbing your hands to hold onto them, never letting go before his gaze bores into the soul of a samurai.
โ€œthis is my wife.โ€
and tลya makes sure the samurai's mind has that information burnt into him, albeit his grasp on your hands were let loose almost immediately after the man who was harassing you left.
there was an uncomfortable silence before you said a soft โ€œthank you,โ€ something you'd never ever say to the prince, to the man you serve. the prince walks a bit ahead of you, his back facing you like how it is always supposed to be. โ€œwhateverโ€ฆโ€
you assumed he's going to walk away and leave you alone to entertain the other guests, but you invited the crown prince to ditch this aggravatingly bone-crushing party. so now, you two are alone by the lake, far away from people. the moon takes favour in the both of you, illuminating an equal amount of beauty.
yet somehow for this special night, you managed to shine and glow more than the prince himself.
โ€œyou look beautiful.โ€
your cheeks flushed. โ€œuh, thank you..โ€
and there was silence again. this time, a comfortable silence with a reasonable distance between you and the prince by the lake and the moon reflecting onto the surfaces of the lake.
one more gaze, and tลya sees you smiling up at the moon. his heart aches and clenches inside of him, doing whatever tricks it couldโ€” including a race that would not last a horse.
todoroki tลya's eyes never lie. once they determine something is beautiful, it stays beautiful for an eternity.
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐€๐†๐„ ๐Ž๐… ๐“๐–๐„๐๐“๐˜, the scent of strong alcohol hit your nose the moment you entered the princeโ€™s lounge room. drunken men are laid all over, obviously wasted. the prince drinks, coming to a halt the moment he notices you standing at the entrance of the room, watching his every move.
โ€œhello, dear retainer..โ€ he grumbled under his breath as you went over to him to pluck the cup out from his fingers, draping his arm over your shoulders and balancing him up on his feet.
โ€œyou are drunk, my prince.โ€
โ€œah ah archer, you know.. my guys don't have retainers who're good at archery..โ€
โ€œis that so?โ€
the prince hummed in response as he held your shoulder and wobbled in his steps. โ€œyouโ€™re the best one in the entire country, y/n.โ€
โ€œit's an honour. but you mustn't speak. your words are oddly disturbing to me,โ€ you said, receiving a chuckle from the drunken prince.
it is true, the prince never touched on the topic of your archery skills. he is still angry at the fact that you excel at archery better than he is. even if it has been an entire decade of indirect competition. you will always surpass him with efficiency.
โ€œi hate the way you always steal my attention, you damned retainer.โ€
your eyebrows furrowed at his words, glancing at him momentarily before sliding the door to his room open.
โ€œmy apologies,โ€ you said softly with a tiny smile, leading him to his haven where he slumbers. โ€œi didn't mean to do that.โ€
with that, you set him down his bed, plucking whatever piece of him that felt uncomfortable as his turquoise eyes burned into your soul, watching your every move.
the prince is silent, gaze following the way your fingers would graze the collar of his kimono or untie his obi to loosen it. his stomach felt like it was twisting at your touch, butterflies swarming around like fools at the pit of it.
he snapped out of his trance the moment you were going to stand up as he quickly grabbed hold onto your wrist.
โ€œdo not leave meโ€ฆโ€ he uttered, words so slurred from the alcohol that he consumed, grip tightening when he felt you lightly tugging your wrist away. โ€œi said, do not leave me.โ€
โ€œyour highneโ€”โ€ your senses tingled as your back hit the soft futon on the ground.
both hands at either side of your face, the prince looks down at you through his half lidded turquoise eyes. you searched for a reason behind this action in those ethereally dangerous eyes of his. and there was only a hint of a dark desire.
โ€œyou make me sick to the bones.โ€
you held your breath, the prince letting out a heavy sigh as you felt his fingers gently grazing your cheeks, moving along the lines of your jaw. his touch fueled you on the inside, you have to admit to yourself. cold fingers with such a tender touch. it makes you yearn for him to continue his actions.
โ€œwho knows you would look soโ€ฆ beautiful, under me?โ€
as if warmth hasn't made their debut to your cheeks, he words gifted your cheeks a field of red roses. you were about to part your lips before his sweet traces along your jawline ceased, his weight falling onto you.
and then there was it. nothing else. just a drunken prince who fell into slumber after leaving his retainer in a flushed mess. you cursed under your breath and moved him off of you, tucking him into bed before brushing his hair as white as snow away from his face.
โ€œyou are murdering my mind and heart, your highnessโ€ฆ it's been like that for so many years too..โ€
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐’๐“๐€๐‘๐“ ๐Ž๐… ๐“๐–๐„๐๐“๐˜-๐Ž๐๐„, the prince puffed and panted at the cruel training given to him by his retainer upon orders of the king. you are to hone his skills to perfection in the fields of kenjutsu.
prince tลya does not know why he has to go through this rigorous training with someone who specialises with a bow and an arrow instead of a sword, but his tongue slips out curses of regret the moment he clashes his blade with yours after a whole decade.
he clearly underestimated you, never imagining the fact that your swordsmanship skills have been polished way over perfection until it appeared to the prince that you are ultimately the perfect warrior. and it itched his brains along with the tugging at his heart.
the both of you were well aware of an upcoming war that will possibly bring nations to an end. neither your father nor tลya's father has the time to spend on their respective children to train them, so it was only ideal that they trained each other.
โ€œyour highness .. we must continue to swing our bladesโ€ฆโ€ you tell the prince, gripping the sword hilt with both hands.
โ€œoh come on, you should shoot arrows, not play with swords in the first place,โ€ tลya rolled his eyes and dropped his sword to the ground, taking a seat. โ€œcan't continue anymore.โ€
once again, your stamina outranks the royal prince. what a shame, you stood longer than he did before you followed him and seated yourself on the ground, falling backwards to hit the ground.
โ€œiโ€™m still not fit for swords, it seemsโ€ฆโ€ you murmured as the prince is now seated beside your lying form, glancing down at you. โ€œthen stick to being the archer, my backbone. let me charge ahead. you will follow me behind.โ€
you looked at his eyes before switching to the clear blue sky. his eyes matched the colour of the sky perfectly, it made you tugged a smile at the corner of the lip along with his words that sunk into your mind.
โ€œi will always follow you behind, prince tลya.โ€
the prince rolled his eyes and rested his chin on his palm, a tiny blush coating his cheeks rose. โ€œyou better not stray too far..โ€
โ€œi won't. iโ€™ll be right behind you,โ€ you chuckled as the voice of the royal princess fuyumi called out, inviting you and the crown prince to have some tea with her.
the prince stands up to brush his hakama. then as you sat up. before you could push yourself off the ground, he held his hands out. you looked at his hands for a quick moment before accepting it and he pulled you up gently.
โ€œimagine if this is the last time we'll ever leisurely spend time with each otherโ€ฆ you know... before the war and stuff.โ€
โ€œthat is not a very nice thing to say,โ€ you frowned at tลya's words as he chuckled. โ€œiโ€™m just kiddingโ€ฆ it will not be. trust me.โ€
๐€๐“ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐„๐๐ƒ ๐Ž๐… ๐“๐–๐„๐๐“๐˜-๐Ž๐๐„, heaven forbid the prince to keep his words and promises to you.
oh dear, how could this happen? why is there an arrow stabbed right through your shoulders? why are you still clenching the reins when blood drips down your shoulders and stains your clothes wine red? why are you still marching forward to follow the prince right behind as you have told him you would?
the princeโ€™s army came to a halt when he stopped his horse and went to catch your falling body into his arms, your blood seeping into the fabric of his clothes almost immediately.
you hear the prince call out to you over and over like it was a chant, a desperate chant that does not go through your ear. your mind is too hazy to even be focusing on the view in front of you.
you shut your eyes to relieve some of that blur and when you do, it's the prince's turquoise eyes that cover your field of vision. it has always been his eyes that pulls you back to reality, it pulls you from straying away too far. his eyes are that one thing that you always seek from the very start.
โ€œshit, y/n, no no no no noโ€ฆ.โ€
you hear him say, oddly clear that your mind isn't as hazy as it was before, thanking his eyes that pierced through your haziness to make way so you could see his face.
โ€œwhy would you do that!?โ€
you knew he was referring to the moment where at the most unexpected moment, an arrow shoots the prince's way and you went to his side to serve as his shield.
you did it because you want to protect him. you did it because you have made a promise to be his eye. you did it because you didn't want him to be hurt.
you did it because you love and care for him.
โ€œhow dare you get hurt, y/n!โ€
it makes you sink your teeth into your bottom lip to hold an amount of pain, both on the outside and on the inside. you must not falter, you mustn't show weakness in front of the prince as his retainer and most loyal servant.
โ€œi apologise, my prince,โ€ you forced yourself to sit up, coughing up a smile that breaks tลya heart.
โ€œwe have to get the arrow out now, quickly, and efficiently,โ€ the prince calmly said in a stern voice, unsure of how to really react to this. the inside of his mind a whole raging calamity.
from this point onwards, the sleeves of his hakama is now completely stained from holding you in his arms. it drips down his arms like blood-soaked honey. his fingers are constantly moving around to squeeze your arm, his usual habit of stressful stimming clearly portrayed as his mind wanders everywhere in visible conflict.
โ€œyour highness, you can't! none of us are authorised medics! and she will bleed more if you take the arrow out!โ€ one of tลya's soldiers exclaimed as you held the prince's hands to calm his stimming down.
โ€œplease, prince tลya. it's futile, the war is still ongoing. you must go back out there to fight.โ€
โ€œwithout my archer? without my retainer? without my backbone!? how am i even supposed to stand without you!?โ€ he cries out as you shut your eyes to contain the tears that are beginning to gather at the corner of your eyes.
โ€œsomeone please. please just get it out of her...โ€
โ€œiโ€™ll be fine. please... your presence is needed out there,โ€ you whispered.
โ€œi don't want to go out there without you. not when there's still so much for us to do.โ€
you felt his fingers resting on your dirtied cheeks, caressing your face with such shakiness that your cheek is now dripping with the tears of the prince. one drop at a time, he wipes his tears on your cheeks with his thumb, this sickeningly despairing smile portrayed on his face.
it makes you want to clench your heart in nothing but for the sake of easing your pain. even if it hurts and pulls at your soul, you held his hands and leaned into his touch, holding his fingers tightly.
โ€œiโ€™m sorry.โ€
there's not even a moment where his eyes leave you, darting all around while trying to find a way to put you out of your pain. it twists and turns on the inside, fueling his debuting rage.
tลya rests his forehead against yours, his snow white hair falling onto your face as he gazes into your eyes, trying to find a way to find solace in your own gaze.
โ€œi don't want to leave you alone.โ€
โ€œbut tลya," you dropped the formality. "my eyes feel heavy. iโ€™m going to rest for a bit.โ€
turquoise eyes widened at your words before his hands held you tighter and embraced you into a hug so warm that you smiled your way out of his life.
