falling for william turner
backstory: every since you found will in the water that day years ago, youâve always been close⌠but do to your place as princess youâve never been close enough. until one day after he drops off an order to your father you come to realize heâs grown into a fine young man.
you turn over to see your maid, and close friend
âhuhh⌠oh Margaret!⌠what hour is it?â
âits almost noon, youâve been in bed for a while⌠its a lovely day, ive set out your dress on your paraventâ
âof course, iâve prepared your morning meal when your ready to come down, i shall be in the kitchenâ
you nearly went back to bed but the idea of fresh bacon and eggs gave you motivation,
as you woke up you felt the weight of your blanket and your messy hairâŚ
you begin to stretch and yawn.
after a while you try your best to not fall from your bed but its so high it takes you a stool to even get in to bed.
you feel the soft ocean breeze as you get dressed, in your fresh pink gown, its your favorite.
you wobble over to your vanity and begin to sort your hair and apply your perfumes. once you look presentable you walk down stairsâŚ
youâve never payed much attention to William turner, heâs always been nice but seemed he was living his life and you were living yoursâŚ
but when you walked down stairs and saw your father standing next to his tall frame and dark eyes you felt a shift, he wasnât who you remembered being rescued from the waters, he wasnât the boy who worked for your father since he was 8 to make money after his mothers passing. he was a man, a fine one.
âoh, good evening willâ you cant help but blushing
âyou look beautiful todayâ he says, making you blush more,
âyes i agree you look marvelous, i wanted to inform you i will be out of town for a private matter with the eitc ill be leaving Tuesdayâ
âwell it was wonderful seeing you mr turner, thank you for taking my order so quicklyâ
âof course, it was wonderful seeing you as well
âŚ.and you to miss ____â
the end rings in your head, it never had before why now, you stand frozen then Margaret reminds you of breakfast.
saturdayâŚ. sundayâŚ. mondayâŚ.. tuesday.
every night since Saturday youâve though of him,
after your father left you suddenly felt alone, even with maids and guard on every corner, maybe it was a deeper alone⌠youâd never had a boyfriend, yes of course youâve had many girly crushes but never accepted any proposals. Margaret knew that, so when you suggested going to visit William at his work tonight, she didnât hesitate to cover for you.
you threw a rope down your window, slowly climbing down⌠eventually you reached the forge, when you knocked on the back doorâŚ
âoh, y/n i didnât expect youâ
âwell, i just, wanted to visitâ
you always knew will had a crush on you, but you liked the way he didnât chase you.
âof yes of course, its just dirty i donât want it to ruin your attireâ
âi donât mindâ you say smiling warmly
as you walk in you look to see wills overseer isnt there..
âhey wheres mr. brown?â
âhe already left, im just finishing up, i have nothing better to doâ
âwow such a hard working man i seeâ you jokingly say
âthank youâ he laughs
after a while of laughing and talking will saysâŚ.
â so why did you come?â
âoh, that reminds me, i broke my hair ornament, i was wondering if you could fix itâ
your hands brush across eachotherâŚ
you both begin to blush..
âoh yes, let me fix it right nowâ he says shyly
âthank you, i donât mean to add to your work pileâ
as he walks over to the oven he says
âdonât worry, this might be my favorite order yet.â
after sitting for a little while and talking he turns and hands you your hair ornament, this time he purposely brushes your hand.
as you begin to walk out the door he says
âmaybe next time you can come, and ill treat you to somethingâ
âoh yeah?â you say smiling
âbye willâ but as you walk slowly, he says
âhere let me walk youâ
âits far to dark, theirs weirdos at this timeâ he continues
âid like thatâ you say grabbing his upper arm.
as he walks you home you cant help but get butterflies
when you walk to your door, you kiss his cheek
you rush into the house hoping he didnât see how red you were.
