âź send this symbol + a request for a short bulletpoint fic / drabble / mtl / reaction that iâll write on the fly!
[disclaimer: this is PEAK shitpost. youâve been warned.]
itâs just another Tuesday when you wake up in a tower you donât recognize
someone must have asked for a fairy tale againÂ
you donât know why the Powers that Be canât just find another princess to pick on
(is it because youâre single? because youâre almost willing to marry that prince from the kingdom next door who doesnât know how to shut up, if thatâs all there is to it)
youâre about to thank your savior, glad at least to meet someone new who might possibly save you from having to marry ha sungwoon
then you realize what heâs wearingÂ
âwhen was the last time you washed that thing?âÂ
there are stains all over his shirt, and as he approaches you, you realize the smell matchesÂ
âthat shouldnât matter to ya, princess,â he says
your smile is frozen in horror as you imagine him kissing you awake
his goat-like features donât distract from theâŚthings on top of his headÂ
âwhat are those?â you say, eyeing the tubes protruding from his messy hair
âmy horns, of course,â he says
âwell, thanks for saving me, but iâve got to get goingâÂ
âyour dad was so worried he promised your hand to whoever could find you, so it looks like youâve got an ogre for a fiancĂŠ nowâ
and when you wake up there it is
youâre in a swamp house
it smells a little less bad than you expected, more earthy and grassy than damp
your new fiancĂŠ introduces himself as jaehwanÂ
and he explains that all he wanted was some money to repair his lute and play some music
when you hear him play you have to admit heâs pretty good
but youâre still angry as hell so you drag him to all the social functions you hated growing up
and your parents are horrified to find out youâve married an ogre, but you tell them, in no uncertain terms, that itâs completely their fault
and jaehwan looks at you with respect for the first time in your life
he starts stuffing his face at the banquet and at first youâre mortified but then you feel freeÂ
and you kick off the shoes pinching at your feet during the dance, and jaehwan turns out to be a fairly okay dancerÂ
youâve never been one to doing things half-heartedly so before you go, you kiss jaehwan smack on the mouth
(after forcing him to chew some mint leaves beforehand, of course)
and he makes an odd noise in his throat and youâre shocked because his breath wasnât actually all that bad, and his lips are soft for someone who talks so much
and his face is shocked as you drag him out of the castle and back to his swamp
and when he serenades you properly, his lute and voice playing a beautiful harmony, you feel your heart soften a little
