(AU or not depending on fandom where heâs theâŚPrince dude) (I love this trope so much I know itâs happened all the time lol)
âFather is starting to consider offers.â
Itâs just a regular day, when you blurt the words. The sun is high, beating down on the ground and coating the world in warmth. The two of you are sitting on the old cobblestone âfenceâ, legs dangling.
He blinks. Something in his heart falls, but he brushes it off as he turns his face to look at you, tilting his head.
Youâre young, still only in teens. Both of you are. You still have yet to truly grow into the woman he knows youâll be, but that doesnât mean you arenât beautiful already. (Of course, to him, youâve always been beautiful.)
âWhat do you mean?â He asks, eyes meeting yours. They sparkle in the sun, though look duller than normal.
You shrug, an attempt to look casual, as you continue to kick your legs back and forth. Your eyes avoid his. âHe said that Iâm nearing the age where Iâve become old enough to take care of myself. So, I guess, soon heâll find me a suitor?â
Thatâs not right. You donâtâŚyou donât need a suitor. You donât need anyone else. You have him. He has you. Thatâs how it is. Thatâs how it always has been. Why would it change?
He wants to protest, to go march to your house and demand an explanation.
ââŚYou seem excited.â Are the words that fall from his lips.
You give a chuckle, lips curling upwards a bit more. âNow how could you tell?â
The air feels thick. His mouth feels clogged, his throat being drowned in syrup. Both of you can feel the tension.
âYou donât want that, right?â The words slip from him without his permission, but he doesnât take them back.
âOf course I donât.â You respond, glancing away. âBut what choice do I have?â
âLive with me.â He blurts. Itâs impulsive, but the idea latches onto him and it starts to grow. He sees your incredulous look, but pays no mind. It makes sense. His mind starts to race, excited as the words tumble. âYeah. You know theyâll listen to me. They always do.â
For a moment, there is no reply. He focuses back on you, trying to see your reaction.
Heâs not sure why he wants to laugh and cry at the same time. Itâs so you, which he loves. Because you sound so hopeful yet absolutely astonished.
âWell?â He hopes his voice isnât as eager as he feels.
ââŚitâs your dad and mine that youâll have to convince.â You say after a second, grinning.
