ITS BREWING DONT YOU WORRY.
what about him catching your gaze and falling in love at first sight as he’s kneeling before your father to be knighted
what about him accompanying you through walks in the palace garden, of out on the balcony in solitude when the soirée’s your mother always throws make your head hurt.
what about him kneeled before you with his head bowed, what about you extending a hand towards him - making his breath catch in his throat before he presses the gentlest of kisses against your knuckles.
what about him revering you like a goddess. thinking that theres not a soul on earth who deserves your company - especially not him.
what about losing your virginity to him
him saying;
“My lady… This-This isnt some you should b-bestow upon me-“ choked off and shaky, his entire body taut like a bound spring as you sneak into your chambers. Warring against the wrongness of it all, and how much his mind and body crave you anyway. “Your father would have me b-beheaded, you know this-“
Tracing your fingers along his jaw, murmuring praises despite the scars that mar his skin, and he folds quick enough to be ashamed for it
Dragging his lips against your skin, wishing he could make his claim evident but knowing the risks are far too high. Being found out meant either death, or being exiled - which meant never seeing you again. He couldn’t decide which was worse.
And so you keep it a secret.
Letting him stay his role as your royal guard, keeping straight professional appearances, though knowing you have bruises on your hips in the shapes of his fingerprints hiding under your gown.
He gives you an old ring passed down by his mother, you keep it stowed under the floorboards under your bed. You give him one of your handkerchiefs. He presses his nose to it at night when the time away from you is too much
Stolen moments anywhere you can. Behind the walls at the back of the garden, sneaking a kiss before he walks you into the main hall for breakfast, requesting outings just for more alone time with him
and of course, traipsing through the place halls as stealthily as possible at night to his chambers
to which he has a heart attack every single time and tries to shoo you away before someone notices your absence.
and yet, he always ends up keeping you longer than he should
