#she's here!!

a hundred days to a steadfast heart (once upon a time) | buddie | sleeping beauty au | 20.9k

buck, a prince, falls into a magical coma and needs true love's kiss to wake him. eddie, his guard, looks for his true love, who might not be as far away as he thinks. or: the sleeping buck fic

Right now, though, Buck is in his bed. 

A bed he should have left ten minutes ago.

“Come on, bud,” Eddie says, drawing the blinds open to let the last dregs of sunlight of the day in. “Rise and shine, and all that. The dinner starts in forty minutes.”

Nothing. 

He frowns. Buck is a pretty deep sleeper, sure, but Eddie isn’t exactly speaking softly. 

He turns to the bed. 

Buck is lying on his back, face calm and peaceful. His chest rises slowly, his cheeks are tinged rosy. His hair is fluffy, having air-dried over the course of his nap, allowing his curls to fall naturally instead of being combed away with product. Eddie likes it best this way. It feels more like Buck instead of Prince Evan.

What doesn’t feel like Buck at all is the way he’s lying here. He’s so still, so perfectly centred in his massive bed. The sheets are barely even wrinkled. Eddie has been around a sleeping Buck often enough to know that he moves around a lot.

Frowning, he steps closer to the bed. He lightly touches Buck’s arm, then gives it a shake.

“Come on, Buck,” he says, voice rising when he gets no reaction. “Time to wake up.”

Still nothing.
