Adopting a kitten with the Princes!
Featuring: Chevalier, Clavis and Yves ♡
Tumblr media
Chevalier-
It wasn’t really adopting, it was more like Emma just bringing in a stray kitten and practically begging Chevalier to let her keep it
Chevalier was very unhappy, narrowing his eyes at the cat and crossing his arms.
After a while of begging, Chevalier just dismissed Emma in silence and Emma took that as approval. She hugged her fiancée tightly and plastered that smile Chevalier loved so much.
Emma takes the kitten and gives him a bath, dries and brushes the kitten. As she’s brushing the bundle of wet fur, she realises something.
This kitten looks a lot of Chevalier…. The cat’s icy blue eyes and blonde fur, it’s like Chevalier transformed into a cat!! Not only did this Chevalier Junior look like the Brutal beast himself, he also seems to have a very similar personality.
Chevalier was already in bed when Emma placed the kitten on the bed, saying that she’s going to take a shower and be right back; leaving Chevalier and the kitten alone.
Emma had finished putting on one of Chevalier’s shirts on as a pj before opening the door to the book filled bedroom. She couldn’t help the smirk as she saw the scene in front of her; Chevalier reading a book as the kitten laid on his chest seemingly reading the book too. Chevalier’s piercing gaze was soon dragged from the book to his fiancée as he felt her weight drop on the bed. “I knew you’d fall in love with the little brutal beast!” Emma giggled as she crawled on the bed to where Chevalier was laying, reaching out to stroke the kitten’s soft fur. The kitten only gave her a small purr and a piercing look.
Tumblr media
Clavis-
Clavis found the kitten in town and knew Emma would love it! He could already see her excited smile as she cuddled the kitten close to her chest.
The kitten was weak and tired, falling asleep in the warmth of Clavis’ hands almost immediately. This made Clavis slightly worried about the cat so he decided to take it to the vet first, buying food and toys before coming home.
“Just hold tight in there Cheetah” Clavis chuckled as he put the kitten in a purple box with a large white bow. Emma has just gotten out of a bath, Clavis opening the door to the bathroom and wolf whistled “Wow Emma! Cover yourself” He chuckled and an embarrassed squeak left the naked girl. Even though they’ve been fiancées for 6 months (and dated for longer), Emma still wasn’t used to Clavis coming into the bathroom like that.
“Well I’ll be damned! Come out, I’ve got a surprise for you” He chuckled as he closed the door giving Emma some space to get dressed. 2 minutes passed before Emma left the bathroom in her satin nightgown, raising her eyebrow at the box. The purple-haired Prince wagged a finger at her, signalising for her to come over. She obeyed and tilted her head at the box which was shaking a little.
“Well? Go on, Open it!” Clavis smiled excitedly as Emma slowly lifted the box, closing her eyes as she finally lifted the lid fully. She was expecting to get her face covered in glitter but nothing happened. Clavis couldn’t help himself but laugh loudly at her reaction which made Emma open her eyes ever so slightly to look inside the box. She gasped in excitement but before she could hug or thank Clavis, the kitten pounced onto her. His tiny claws digging into Emma’s skin to keep himself from falling, making Emma nearly trip backwards if it wasn’t for Clavis who was still laughing and embracing Emma to his chest.
Tumblr media
Yves-
Emma presented Yves with the kitten on his birthday. Let’s just say he was stunned; his eyes were wide like saucers at the kitten that was purring softly in Emma’s arms.
Emma offered the kitten to Yves and he couldn’t resist taking the furry baby from her hands.
He placed the kitten to his chest to pet the small ball of fur. His expression soon changed from shock to a gentle smile which plastered itself shyly onto Yves’ cute face.
“Do you like her?” Emma asked with a cheerful voice. “N-no! I mean, yes I am” He mumbled the last part, turning his head away as Emma’s laugh vibrated through the bedroom.
Emma later informed Yves that the kitten’s toys haven’t come to the palace yet and they would probably be at the palace later tomorrow. This was fine, since it was already night time and the kitten seemed to be very sleepy.
“How about a bath?” Emma winked at Yves as his face turned crimson. He put the kitten down on the pink bed, letting the furry thing curl up and nap while Emma and him went to the already prepared bath. They both undressed and hopped into the bubble bath, enjoying the warmth of the water. Being completely unaware of the shenanigans the little bundle of fur was up too.
After about an hour or two, the newly wedded couple came out of the bathroom fully relaxed and ready for bed. Yves’ soft lips pressed against the side of Emma’s neck as she hummed. That was until a gasp suddenly brought them out of their relaxed state. The chocolate coloured kitten has somehow gotten into Yves’s wardrobe, his socks and boxers all sprawled over the floor. In one of his boxers laid a very tired kitty, curled up and snoring.
“Perhaps we should have given her a ball of yarn to play with”
I hope you guys liked this!! It’s been a while since I’ve written something on here. Remember that my requests are open. Bye bye Doves!

[fic] Before the Dawn
Before the Dawn
Ikemen Prince | Chevalier Michel x Reader | G | 499 words
ao3 link (later)
The Number One Hero knows your address. That's bad news.
A/N: Fourth entry to @cy-inky’s one week challenge! It's heroes and villains AU with the prompt "Who did this to you?" It's a spicy line! But I can't seem to pull it off with Chevalier, who's the hero lol So I'll settle with whatever is going on here haha.
Divider by @/saradika.
Tumblr media
It shouldn't surprise you that the Number One Hero knows where you live.
It also shouldn't surprise you that the Number One Hero could have stormed your residence at any given moment, given his knowledge of your address.
After all, the White Tiger is a thorough, ruthless hero, determined to rid of all threats looming over the city of Rhodolite.
That goes for you, too: an S-class villain—though only part-time, because you love your main job (video game composer). The few times you've clashed with the White Tiger have been the highlights of your career as a villain. He's strong, a beast with a blade, but also cunning and methodical. Sometimes, you wonder how you had survived all those confrontations with him. It's only thanks to your superhuman reflexes that keep you toe to toe with the hero (though you're not so bad with martial arts as well).
So, yeah, it shouldn't surprise you that the White Tiger knows where you live and that he could enter your home at any given time.
The CPU you're carrying drops to the floor with a cringe-inducing crash, the loudness of it echoing around your poster-filled walls, and you shoot the White Tiger sitting calmly on your favorite couch a murderous glare that he counters with a judgmental look.
“To what do I owe the pleasure?” you bite off, crouching to pick up the damaged pieces by your feet.
He doesn't answer, merely watching you from where he's sat, and you notice that his left eyelid twitches every now and then.
His lack of response heightens your wariness. Usually, he would have snarked back with a huff, and then probably a Your interior design is abysmal, but there is nothing of the sort, and now you're kinda-sorta-maybe concerned, so you study him from where you are some more.
His skin is pale, and his breaths shallow, and the clincher—blood drips down from his temple, catching at his jaw, before it drops to his white hero costume.
The CPU is immediately forgotten.
You stride towards your nemesis, and he only looks at you approaching, neither shift nor warning.
You want to examine his wound, but the White Tiger is notorious for pummeling anyone who dares touch him. And yet, this is a pressing matter. By the looks of it he's poisoned or drugged, and wounded—just how severe you want to know.
“Who did this to you,” you find yourself whispering, tone laced with an undercurrent of anger. How dare somebody hurt the White Tiger. How dare somebody not you hurt Chevalier.
Finally, he replies: “Trifle matter. You don't need to know.”
“And yet you came to me—your archnemesis.”
He snorts. “Hardly. You composed the music of Showoff's favorite game.”
Showoff? “In any case, you have to get treatment. Why the hell would you go here? You could've gone to a hospital or something.”
Chevalier closes his eyes. Exhales a long breath. Says: “Because they're coming to get you too.”

Chevalier's laugh. Short. Sweet, even if others might not say so.
You trace his Adam's apple with a finger joint. The dancing curtains take your gaze. His down-turned lashes steal it back. You close in, tilt your head and rest it against his jaw, but your fingertip stays. A circle, a circle. And a light press.
Chevalier hasn't turned to the next page in his book in a while. You can imagine him looking at you. You can imagine him not looking at you. But the silence stays sunny. Your bodies packed together make a lopsided heart-shape.
His jaw shifts under your face. The swell of skin over sculpted bone moves in a direction away from his lips. His Adam's apple dips.
You giggle. Chevalier turns the page.

hi! I don't know if you also write for Ikeprince but I wanted to make a request on Chevalier as a father?
Characters: Chevalier Michel x Reader Rating: General. Word count: 1568 words Warning/s: None. Having kids. Pregnancy. Author note: I'm a simp for Chevalier, so this hc's got out of hand and its kinda long, in this essay I will---
Tumblr media
The announcement
This man is inexperienced in some stuff, but he is not an idiot. He immediately knew when you were feeling under the weather before you could blink, sending the royal physician to check on you when you started waking up later than usual, complaining about the soreness on your body and the stomach cramps
At first, he thought it was due to the stress you were under as the Queen Consort, and he contemplated putting more work on his plate to help you along while you recovered. 
But then the physician came running to him after checking in on you, bowing deeply before him, out of breath as he apologized over and over for interrupting the meeting with his faction. 
“Her Majesty The Queen is expecting.” Were the words spoken before Chevalier could ask what such a display was about. 
There was a heavy silence in the room then. That was broken by Luke asking “Eh? Does she have visitors?” 
Followed by Clavis laughing his lungs out.
Followed by the foxy glances of Nokto after a minute of shock.
“Tsk.” He clicked his tongue, annoyed at the idiotic reactions as he stood up, cape fluttering behind him as he exited the room with long strides to hurry to the bedroom. 
You were there, processing the news, standing before the full-length mirror to see the changes in you, despite they were minimal and barely visible, even under the eye of an expert. 
In silence, he approached after closing the door behind him. The air in the room turned heavy with uncertainty as he made his way to you.
“Chevalier--I…” words died in your throat, not knowing what to say. 
“Quiet,” he commanded, laying a heavy, yet gentle hand on your shoulder that made you feel comforted by the warmth that spread all over your body. “Come sit and read with me.” 
Despite all the work put aside, he sat down, taking you with him and holding you on his lap with a gentle embrace, the palm of his hand resting on your belly, and yours laid over his. 
During the pregnancy
You bet Chevalier takes a break from romance novels just so he can read about children and parenting in general (please let it be books about it Cybird I beg you)
You are under the watchful eye of every servant and soldier, having them come to you for every and any of your needs. After all, that’s the firstborn of The King you are carrying. 
Yet you still insist on taking on your duties as Queen as you’d normally do, just with a little more support that your multiple brothers-in-law granted you to make it possible for you to have time to rest and take it easy. 
Chevalier has it rough, not getting a wink of sleep during the nights, worrying more about the enemies that might be lurking in the shadows to harm you and your child, or about your morning sickness.
As King and Queen, you’d have days where you won’t see each other until night fell, but Chevalier moves mountains just so he can get his work done with you sitting next to him, or preferably, on his lap. 
You also bet he has his sword pointed at Clavis at all times while he makes him dismantle all of his artifacts for pranks that could cause you harm even if they are not intended. If you have an accident and Clavis is in a mile radius his head won’t be attached to his body.
He doesn’t show it, but he is truly worried every time he spends a busy day all on his own without time to check in on you. 
You have a little argument over names one day. For some reason, and taking you by surprise, he lists a lot of girl names.  
Oh, remember that Clavis dismantled his stuff? Yeah, he forgot one thing that is supposed to jump-scare Yves in the kitchen whenever he would be baking
The thing is, it did jumpscare Yves…when you and he decided it’d be great to bake something together. It was his scream of terror that jump scared you so bad that your water broke. 
Chaos ensued. Yves was panicking and you…not so much. There was not as much liquid as you’d imagine there would be, but it was enough that your gown stained. 
The first ones to come to aid at Yves’ scream were Rio, who also threw himself into a panic fit about the baby about to be born, and Licht, who happened to be as calm as you were. Thankfully Licht helped you walk out of the kitchen. While Rio and Yves were consoling each other, hurrying to see what to do to help, calling for your maids to help you. 
Your maids were prepared and they rushed to prepare the room you’d be giving birth in, notifying the physician and midwives so they could come as soon as possible. 
With all the scandals in the kitchen, people might have or have not forgotten to notify someone else, the news reaching Sariel first who dutifully smacked some sense into Rio before heading to the King and announcing the news. 
Chevalier immediately dropped all of his work, “Take care of it.”, he told Sariel as he exited the room to meet you, leaving all of his work of the day in the hands of the minister. 
Thankfully, your contractions were barely starting when he made it to your side, and you had already been stripped from your gown into more comfortable robes.
Chevalier knew you were strong, but he never put your strength to the test until he held your hand during labor, clenching his jaw to avoid showing his pain because you definitely were about to break his fingers.
He holds you, with an arm around your shoulder so he is close to your body, enough for you to feel him breathe behind you, helping you control your own ragged breathing by trying to match his. 
Your birth was private, with only the necessary staff to take care of you, but behind the locked door, there was a sea of people holding their breath, listening to your wailing…and the silence that came after, followed by a tiny cry. 
Having a tiny human
Solana Michel is named the first princess of Rhodolite to be born in a long time, after a long tradition of all boys in a family. 
You took the opportunity to rest from your duties in order to take care of Solana yourself, despite a lot of the female staff insisting you shouldn't. Which was met with an “are you serious?” look from your part. 
As for Chevalier, he is still a busy man, but this time he decides to rely more on his brothers and their talents to take some weight off his shoulder so he can spend more family time with you, still taking care of the most important matters that require him. 
He is not great with kids (this is canon btw), so the first time he held his daughter, she started crying, making him tense all over before handing her back to you to soothe her. 
It takes some more tries, but the result is the same, Solana always starts bawling her lungs out the moment he holds her. 
He is annoyed, more with himself at how bad he is dealing with his own child. 
The one time Solana didn’t cry was when you were bathing after putting her to sleep in the crib. Chevalier sat close to it, reading as usual, with the quiet rain outside as background noise. Until it started thundering.
Needless to say, Solana started bawling at the loud noise outside, making him turn to look at her and consider calling you or one of the nannies to care for her.
Chevalier was still frustrated about his own daughter not liking him, and you taking care of most of her needs, and he didn’t exactly want anyone else to do it. 
He sighs heavily, prepared for the baby girl to cry her loudest once he holds her, but once she is in his arms her sobs quiet down. 
Good thing you aren’t in the room because you’d be able to see the face of pure shock this man has. 
The baby quiets down, and he does what he read once in all of those parenting books he decided to read: he hums a lullaby he has heard you sing to her and rocks her softly so she drifts back to sleep. 
You go out the bathroom only to be greeted with the sight of him, sitting comfortably with an open book in his hand and the other holding your daughter -who is now sleeping soundly- on his chest. He only gives you a soft look once he notices you are standing there. 
Once you are dressed for bed, you offer to take her so you can move her to the crib. 
“No. I’ll take care of her.” 
Half an hour later he joins you in bed, careful of the small baby in his arms. This man doesn’t show it but he is elated and won’t let go of Solana, so that night she sleeps between the two of you. 
He definitely reads to her, and he personally teaches her how to read and write as soon as she is old enough, that way the three can share a pastime. 
Chevalier doesn’t tell you yet, but he wants to go for a second and maybe a third *wink wink*

The Obsidianite Jewel
A fem!reader x Chevalier Michel Fanfiction
Chapter 16 -> Chapters Masterlist
Words: 2268
Warnings: language
Summary: It all started when your fiancé, Prince Gilbert, brought you to the palace of Rhodolite. He hoped he would find the secrets of the princes. Instead, he lost your heart to the brutal beast. However, Gilbert is not going to let your heart wander away easily
Tumblr media
"Hey sis", Jonathan gave you a sad smile, "Want me to bring you anything?"
You shook your head, never taking your eyes away from the orange hues that painted the horizon. "No thank you, I'm alright", you said softly.
Jonathan looked at your bare feet, toes scraping the wet sand as the waves kissed them. The hem of your dress, already wet by the ocean, was stuck on your calves as you dangled your legs under the rock on which you sat. Your eyes looked empty; your face remained expressionless when you did not have to face him. He had never seen you look this sad. Even when your heart ached in the past you always used to put on a show for the people you loved; now it was not enough to mask your pain.
"You'll catch a cold", he said, "Please come inside"
"I won't", you assured him, "I'll go back in in a bit. I just want to see the sunset"
Jonathan bit his lip. He wanted to cry. Eventually, he nodded and left you on the secluded beach, climbing back up the stairs to the castle. He rubbed his eyes. Before he knew it, he was standing outside the new King's office. He heard murmurs; then steps. He ran to hide in the shadows of the nearest column. The door opened.
"I appreciate it, Your Majesty", Gilbert stood proud at the height of an Emperor. He had announced his new title as soon as he and y/n returned to Istidor.
The moment Gilbert was gone, Emerich ran back to the office. He stood in front of the closed door until he gathered enough courage to knock.
"Come in", his father's rough voice came from inside.
It was a wonder how Jonathan kept himself from trembling as he stepped inside. King Edward sat on a large chair, his arms resting on the sides. His face was scared from battle, his hands were calloused from training. His longsword leaned against his desk, taller than half of Jonathan's height already. He was proof that some people were born to rule.
"Jonathan", he said as if addressing a soldier rather than a son, "What is the matter?"
His eyes were still glued on his paperwork as Jonathan approached his desk.
"It's y/n", he said, "I don't think she's alright".
The King raised his gaze along with one of his thick eyebrows.
"She doesn't love Gilbert", Jonathan continued.
King Edward let out a heavy sigh. "Love is a luxury for people like us. he said, "Marriage is built on things much sturdier than love. Things that come with time"
"But why can't she have both?", Jonathan took a step forward, "You're King now so our fates are finally in your hands. Chevalier-"
"You said yourself that that man's goal is to unite the continent under his name", the King intervened, "What he wants is our army and our gold. As a King, I cannot trust a sliver of my Kingdom to a man like him and as a father, I surely cannot concede that my daughter spends her days with someone who sees her as his key to power".
Jonathan covered his face with his hand. Those were his thoughts indeed. He had discussed the matter with his father when y/n first told him about her feelings for Chevalier. He never expected this escalation. But after speaking with Chevalier in person he had seen for himself that there was a heart behind those cruel eyes, and that heart bled from love. "I'm not so sure that is the case", he said quietly.
"I cannot base this decision on your instinct alone. I need facts. Gilbert loves her and I know he aims to build a new name for the Obsidianite Empire, one that is not a synonym of war. But all I've heard about Chevalier is his gruesome feats in combat and the countless assassins after him"
"Y/n is not stupid. She'd know if-"
"You're very smart yourself, Jonathan", the King interrupted him once more, "Yet you should know more than anyone how blinding love can be".
Jonathan lowered his gaze. His father was right. "I understand I'm not the best person to be speaking about judge of character", he said softly, "Still, wouldn't it be worth it to give it a chance? Don't you wish that y/n has what you and Mom did?"
King Edward leaned back on his chair. He brought his hand to his lips, taking a moment to consider his son's words. "Alright", he finally said, "You are right. Ruling is a hard and lonely job. If y/n has someone she loves by her side it will be a hell of a lot more bearable". He leaned closer. "Go find him. Convince him to speak to me. But don't tell him anything about my concernsof him", the King continued, "That said, Jonathan, I don't want you causing commotion either".
Jonathan frowned. "Of course I won-"
"I mean it", King Edgard narrowed his eyes, "Don't tempt any rumours and especially don't let your brother get too involved. We don't want another scandal"
Jonathan bowed his head. He nodded so that his father knew that he understood. "Yes father", he said, "Thank you"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sneak attack!", Clavis drew everyone's attention to him as he charged in the dining hall, sword in hand, heading straight towards his older brother. Everyone's attention but Chevalier's it seems, who continued to casually flip the pages of his book even as Clavis' sword stopped mere inches from his head.
"Clavis, are you insane?", Emma shrieked but Clavis ignored her.
"That could have killed you, you know", the jester prince smiled nervously.
Chevalier breathed a heavy sigh. "I don't have time for your adolescent nonsense", he flipped another page in his book.
"Clavis, put that thing away!", Leon got off his seat.
"You always have time for my adolescent nonsense when something is not bothering you", Clavis's gaze did not waver.
Chevalier finally tore his eyes away from his book to meet his brother's. He always pushed even when -no, especially when- Chevalier did not want him to.
"Rejoice! It's your birthday! And I know how to cheer you up", Clavis finally returned his sword to his scabbard, "I have a surprise for you!"
"I've heard enough", Chevalier pushed his chair back and headed towards the library, where he had resulted to spend his nights.
"You'll regret it if you don't come, I'm afraid"
"Clavis, is this another pitfall?", Yves's tired voice was heard from the other side.
"Gods no!", Clavis cheered, "Those are reserved for you, little brother, cause you just look so adorable all scrambled up!"
"Fine", Chevalier cut him off, "But if you waste my time be ready to meet the consequences"
"Oooh scary...", Clavis shook his palms before throwing an arm around his brother's shoulder. Chevalier looked at him with repulsion. "Don't worry, I am the best at giving people gifts"
Clavis led Chevalier to a secluded part of the garden. Anyone else would be crawling with nervousness, but Chevalier merely rested his hand on the hilt of his sword and waited for Clavis to reveal his card. He did not know why he entertained his foolishness but deep down he hoped that he had indeed found a way to make his days more bearable. Because if anyone would have noticed the cracks that ran through his heart no matter the pretence he put on to perform his royal duties, it would be him.
"We have arrived", Clavis said proudly as they reached the gazebo.
Chevalier raised his eyebrow; there was nothing here.
No. There was only a shadow. He had almost missed it.
He turned his head and that's when he saw him; showered by the darkness of the early night, Jonathan leaned against one of the gazebo's pillars. Chevalier's heart fell. No matter how unlikely he still hoped his eyes would meet the beautiful shine of y/n's under the moonlight.
"If you've come to kill me perhaps you should divert your attention to the actual threat", he told him blankly.
"Impressive", Jonathan smiled, "People don't tend to notice me"
"Say that after I find you when you didn't want to be noticed", the Rholoditian King climbed the steps to meet the foreign prince. "What do you want?", he asked.
Chevalier frowned. Why and how would he help him? His mind raced through the worst case scenarios. His brows furrowed in anger, "Did he do something?"
"No", Jonathan pushed himself off the column, "She's fine- well-".
The prince took a deep breath. He kept his head low as he shook it. He walked past Chevalier. The King suddenly felt lighter. He turned around; Jonathan had swiped the book he had been reading. Chevalier observed as the prince read the title, along with the inscription behind the cover. There was no chance he would not recognize one of his sister's books. She had left it behind before hurriedly returning to Istidor, and it was all Chevalier had been reading ever since.
"It appears your brother was right", Jonathan spared Clavis a look before returning it to Chevalier, "You're not well either"
Chevalier gave his brother an angry look. "Hey don't look at me", Clavis shook his hands,"I said I was happy to see you in pain"
"Clavis."
The jester prince responded with a heavy sigh to Jonathan's scolding. His amused expression gave way to a serious one, publicly for the first time in years. "I hate myself for saying this", he hesitantly muttered, "but you look like father".
That sentence reminded Chevalier that he owned a heart, because at that moment it sunk to the depths of the Earth. "I'm not him", he said, the feeling of y/n tears drenching his shirt after that man had assaulted her suddenly feeling once again all too real.
"I'm not saying you are but...".
Clavis shoved his hands in his pockets. He let out a heavy sigh and turned his head away. "Don't make me say it, you piece of shit"
"You two are gonna make me cry", Jonathan scoffed, "You look like shit and he's worried about you. And I worry about my sister"
"She made her own choice", Chevalier said firmly, "I have no right to-"
"Do you love her?", Jonathan interrupted. He took a step closer as Chevalier frowned in confusion.
"What?"
"It's a simple question ", Jonathan continued, "Do. You. Love. Her?"
Chevalier stiffened. He hated this question. He hated how it called on the feeling he once despised and now held dearer than his own life. And most of all he hated that he had to admit it for the first time to someone other than y/n; but he knew Jonathan would not take anything other than "yes" or "no" for an answer.
"You know I do", his voice came strangled.
Jonathan nodded. "Then fight for her"
"That battle was lost the moment we were born"
"That's not true. There's", Jonathan appeared reluctant, "Two things stand in your way: the King's council and the King himself. My brother can help you appeal to the nobles. But you have to speak to my father yourself"
"And your brother will help?"
"Well", Jonathan rubbed the nape of his neck, "I guess you have to talk to him too. I can come with, but he won't speak to me"
Someone else would have asked why. But it did not matter to Chevalier. "So where is he?"
"I....don't know"
"He's in Benitoite", Clavis reminded them with his melodious voice that he was still there. "What?", he shook his shoulders, "I like him so I keep tabs"
"That's concerning"
"Agreed"
Both Chevalier and Jonathan said. But there was no other option.
"You two geniuses think there is no way for you to be together", Jonathan remarked, "But did you even try to find one?"
Chevalier did not respond. The foreign prince was right. Going against y/n's choices was what he wanted least, but the moment she was ripped away from him his will to follow up on that notion became much weaker. If Jonathan was right, that she felt the same as him, and he could present her a path they could walk down together then he had to do it.
"Clavis", he said, "Fetch Four-Eyes"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miles away, in the luscious land of Istidor, Gilbert threw an arm around his beloved's shoulders as he sat next to her on the couch. She did not push him away but neither did she cuddle closer to him as his arms enveloped her.
"What are you reading?", he rested his chin on her shoulders.
She flipped another page on the old and tattered book. "I just found it", she shook her shoulders, "It's poems. You wouldn't like it"
"I like poems", Gilbert reached for the book. He flipped to see the cover. "The romance of the rose", he read. Y/n pulled her legs to her chest. "Thus, if I ever knew the sickness of love, you will carry on with little sleep, throughout the night", Gilbert read, "And when you can’t bear your suffering lying awake in your bed, you will have to dress, put on your shoes, and adorn yourself. Then, whether it is raining or freezing, you will go in secret directly to the house of your sweetheart, who will be sound asleep, with hardly a thought of you "
"I think i'll just go to bed", y/n hurriedly put on her slippers and ran upstairs to the bedchambers.
"Oo...kay?", Gilbert was left dumbfounded, with only the book and the memory of her warmth as his company. Gilbert closed the book and checked the cover once again. He clenched his fist. He did not know the exact details, but he felt it in his bones that this was about Chevalier; it was always about Chevalier.
He threw the book away and covered his bare eye with his hand. He had won her hand back, but he could never reclaim her heart.

He forces your face into the pillow, his rough hand gripping your wrists behind your back tightly while his other hand is hiking your short dress over your bruised hips. He doesn’t say anything as you whimper in pain at his rough movements, probably choosing to ignore you as usual.
"Chevalier…" The white sheets rustle beneath you as you try calling his name to let him know that he's being too rough, And he clicks his tongue in annoyance but loosens his grip on you, and soon lets your wrists go. He grips the sides of your waist, his fingers somewhat digging into your flesh as he flips you onto your back, then nudges your legs apart and positions himself between your thighs.
Only because of your obedience, he’ll treat you kindly.
You’ve been behaving exceptionally well this month, throwing just a few protests here and there. But, besides that you've been very compliant for the rest. Clearly, you were trying to get on his good side. He smiles arrogantly in satisfaction because of your submission. Fnally, you we're starting to give in to him.
You look up at him and stare into his eyes, before you hurriedly look elsewhere... still refusing to meet his gaze for longer than a short moment.
“Look at me.” He orders you, and you very reluctantly do as he says. If you don’t do as Chevalier says, who knows what will happen to you... right? Obedience was your only option here… Either Obedience or torture. He wouldn't hesitate to beat you to get his point through and teach you a lesson. He wouldn't even bat an eye as he does so. You’ve learned from the countless number of times that he’s abused you with a stone cold expression on his face that he's heartless. And according to him, he’s “training” you for your own good.
He’s simply teaching you how to be a better wife and do your duties.
You’re his favorite wife after all, None of his other wives received his affection like you did. They were mere objects to unite Rhodolite with its neighbours, meanwhile you… He loved you.
A sick twisted feeling like that had rooted itself into his heart because of you.
When he saw you, a simple commoner girl he was perplexed… how could you be so beautiful and so…nice. Despite your naivety and foolishness, he fell for you when he first saw you. Love at first sight, and his feelings for you only grew as you catered to his needs in the bookstore. Putting in your utmost effort to please him as he ordered you around and made you gather all kinds of books for him. His interest in you grew as you sold him books, your polite attitude towards him somewhat making his icy cold heart flutter…
How unfortunate for you though... You became his mistress, a simple commoner wife who he only married to claim as his own so that no other man could.
“Let me move the pillow.” You tell him as you sit up on the bed, and readjust your pillows so you could comfortably lay on them. If you were going to do something you didn't like... you should at least try to make the best out of it.
He stares you down, looking your bruised body specifically as he reaches for your hand to entwine your fingers with his. Feeling the warmth from your palm seep into his skin as he holds your fragile hand, he lets out a relaxed breath.
You were truly like glass… delicate and easy to break.
He almost feels guilty for everything that he’s put you through, but quickly remembers ‘It was for her own good.’
He reaches down to cup your bare pussy, He’s been impatiently waiting for tonight. The first night where you aren’t trying to stop or push him away from you. A proud smirk etches onto his face as he relishes in the fact that he finally conquered you, and broke your spirit enough for you to give in to him. He almost laughs in satisfaction as he leans down to kiss your thigh. His hand nudging it to the side when you try to close your legs by reflex, and he hears your breath hitch in your throat as he caresses your soft skin.
You were finally turning into the wife that he wanted, so you deserve a reward.
He licks a long stripe up your flushed pussy, and an uncomfortable shiver runs down your spine.
Disgust crept up in the pit of your abdomen, and you tried your best to ignore the repulsive feeling.
Here you were, subjected to having him between your legs when you desperately wanted to shove him away, and hope he hits his head on something and dies. Truly, there is nothing more vile and disgusting than how he violated your dignity, Both your body and soul. He was horrible, Even if he was making you wet and going to draw a forced orgasm out of you tonight.
He shoves his fingers into your entrance, rubbing and teasing you as much as he can before he stops his ministrations on your glistening entrance and looks up at you, his eyes narrowed in a glare as if he could read your thoughts. You hear him sigh as he gets up to unbuckle his belt and pull his hardened dick out. He strokes himself before you, and rubs the head of his shaft against your wet entrance, gathering your slick juices to coat himself with before he pushes into you at once, Burying himself to the hilt.
You feel stuffed as he leans over your body and pushes your leg against your chest.
“Fuck…”You hear him curse under his breath as he pulls his hips away from yours, making your walls squeeze around him as if trying to pull him back in. “It’s so warm…” He comments before whilst slamming his hips into you, and as he cahes you underneath him you can smell the familiar scent of his library filled with books, paper and vanilla scented candles. He fucks you at a hard pace, his shaft fitting snuggly inisde of you and rubbing against all of the right spots… much to your dismay.
Even if he was raping you, it recently started to feel good and it even brought you pleasure.
You feel the knot in your abdomen starting to come undone with every drag of his shaft along your walls, and it drives you crazy, you let go of his hand to wrap your arms around his neck, wanting to pull him even closer and deeper into you so that he could fuck you faster, and finally get you to finish.
It was shameful, really… Just how messed up were you for wanting your abuser to fuck you harder and get you off? You squeeze Chevalier, Your grip on him tightening as you whimper under him and cry his name in moan. He sped up and thrusted into you at a brutal pace, until you finally came undone beneath him and squirted your juices all over his shaft. His name continues spilling from your lips in a raspy moan as he fucks into you even after your release. Your fingers grip the bedsheets tightly, trying to ground you from the overstimulation which feels like too much.
“Heh… You’re finally starting to become wise, simpleton.” He pants as he says that. Somehow, he still had energy to speak despite how tired he must be. He doesn't pull out, and simply lays on top of you for a while.
He thrusts into you, his nails leaving little red marks in your leg's plush skin as he plans to fill you up with his seed. He wants you to give him an heir before he left you all alone, locked up within the safe confines of his room where he could keep you away from danger until he eliminated all threats to you. He grunts your name, a quiet moan slipping past his lips as he feels your walls clench around him, and make him finally spill his load inside you.
"It will just take some time now"
You feel truly hopeless as you know you'll be his prisoner for life, and his hand wrapping around your neck feels like shackles being attached to you.
A child would chain you to him for life.

chevalier and ex-lovers for the angst promt? that seems like it would be really interesting considering his route. thank you for reading this ask
Tumblr media
A/N: With some encouragement and brainstorming (thank you @lorei-writes 💜) I finished this!
An addition to my Broken Heartstrings series
Chevalier x Reader
WC: 1.3k
Tumblr media
The crowds that have gathered in the streets are humming like a hive full of excited bees. Some small children are pushing their way beneath elbows and through knees, trying to get to the front. Others are being hoisted up onto the shoulders of grown ups who shift their weight from foot to foot, as eager as the children to get a glimpse.
You can see them all from your spot, perched on the wide windowsill of your bedroom. Precarious as it may be, you’ve pushed open the window, leaving nothing between you and the view of the street below. It’s a joyful scene, one of breathless anticipation as the townsfolk wait for their king to ride through on this, the anniversary of his coronation. The king that you chose a year ago. The man who had challenged your spirit and won your heart.
But instead of sitting by his side, proudly looking down at all the beaming faces, you’re alone at your window, stomach in knots at the thought of seeing Chevalier Michel again, even from a distance.
Just thinking his name sends your mind down well-trodden paths of anguish and heartbreak....
Tumblr media
What had seemed so solid, so strong, had unraveled in a single moment. You didn’t even have the chance to anticipate something was wrong. He had gone to investigate suspicious activity at the border. He had returned, white clothing running red with blood that was not his. Still, you had run to him, concern an engine that spurred you forward at lightning speed….and he had turned away, turned his shoulder towards you. And then he had told you, in a voice as chilled as winter’s edge, to leave. 
Leave, he repeated at the palace gates, his hand gesturing for you to move away.
Leave, he repeated as you stood in his bedroom, questions shooting from your mouth like wayward fireworks, bright and burning and frantic. 
Leave was all he said, his voice a blade as dangerous and final as his sword.
His betrayal of your trust was a sudden cracking of ice, a fall into freezing water that left you speechless, breathless, and utterly broken. All the possibilities for the future, all the countless daydreams. All the nights spent talking, sharing, weaving a relationship from the threads of your heartstrings snapped in a blink by silver shears, cold as the blue of his eyes when all your wild thoughts boiled down to a single question, your voice trembling like a leaf in a cruel, sudden wind: 
Why?
Leave was his only reply.
And so you fled the palace, the beautiful rose gardens, the confused and concerned questions in the eyes of his brothers. You fled the place that had become home to return to the life you had known before, except it didn’t fit as it once did. Something was missing, something that ached in the night, that chased sleep away from the spinning hurricane of your mind. A longing for someone that you shouldn’t want, someone who was willing to drive a stake into the beating heart of your love without hesitation. Or explanation.
Tumblr media
A combined gasp and cheer rises up from the crowd as the royal caravan approaches and tugs you back to the present. The other princes ride upon their horses, smiling and waving. Well, Licht isn’t exactly smiling and something about his somber expression is so familiar, a constant in a world turned upside down, that it actually brings a smile to your lips, a sad, watery thing but a smile nonetheless. Jin and Nokto beam brightly, waving and nodding, especially to the women who meet their gazes with excited hands pressed to their hearts. Leon is every inch the prince, flawlessly dividing his attention between both sides of the street, his smile open and wide. He was always so kind.  A wave of bittersweet emotion washes through you as you remember the time he would take to explain things to you, to help you find your way, to listen,
But he is not the one your heart chose. 
And behind Leon and his black stallion rides the King on his destrier of purest snow white. The sight of him, tall and proud, one gloved hand on the reins, the other casually on the pommel of his sword freezes the breath in your lungs. Your fingers curl into your palm unbidden, nails biting deep into flesh gone numb. Beside him, Clavis is all flashy smiles and waves, golden eyes scanning the crowd to award a nod or tilt of the head to anyone he wants to feel special. His head tilts up as his gaze sweeps across the many open windows and people waving handkerchiefs, some embroidered roses, some embroidered with tigers in honor of the king’s crest.
You, still as a beam of moonlight, stand out amid the riotous cheering.
Of course Clavis notices you. In a heartbeat, your eyes lock with his and something inside you shifts as you are flooded with the memories of the many laughs, the teasing, but most of all, the way he supported you through loving his brother. He knows what a difficult path that is to walk. He has been walking it his whole life.
He offers you something no one else in the crowd gets. His face, always adept at schooling itself into whatever mask it need be, is filled with genuine emotion at the sight of you. He offers you a smile, soft and sad and real.
Somehow, even from a distance, he has still found a way to comfort you.
Your spirit is bolstered, just a little, and you manage a smile in return, raising a hand in greeting.
And then Chevalier notices his brother’s upturned face and his own head moves, his gaze rising to see what has Clavis’s attention.
There you are, up in the window, framed like a beautiful portrait, smiling, but even he can see it doesn’t quite reach your eyes, like a garden dappled in shadows. Your hand is raised, that hand he knows intimately. He knows the motion of your fingers as they delicately turn the page of a book. He knows the strength in them when you grip a horse’s reins. And he knows their softness, the tenderness with which they can touch, the feel of your fingertips as they trace the line of his jaw. The eagerness with which they press into the back of his neck when he kisses you-
Kissed you.
When he kissed you.
Because he will never know their touch again. Nor your kiss. Nor your smile. Even now, as your gaze meets his, that smile fades, your hand slowly lowers, curling against your heart like a wounded animal, seeking shelter.
And he knows he did that. He killed the warmth of you, the joy, the whispering sunshine of your love.
And he would do it again.
Because as pained as you look now, somehow he knows it would never compare to the pain of being in love with someone who could so deeply disappoint you. He learned that lesson the day he rode to the border, when he killed as mechanically as clockwork, without remorse, without regard. How easily his blade drank the blood of young and old. He saw only red, felt only the jolt of sword through flesh and turned to seek it again and again.
You claimed there was good in him, there was mercy and the capacity to love.
And for a brief moment in time, he had believed you. Until that day.
And rather than watch your love for him slowly wither as you learned you were wrong, that he was nothing more than a brutal beast, he made a clean cut. Sharp, painful but without a doubt in his mind the correct thing to do.
He could not watch the light in your eyes go out. Because he loved you.
Loves you.
Because he still loves you.
Chevalier’s pale head turns away from you and the procession continues.
Slowly, breathing against the burning ache in your chest, the broken pieces of your heart slicing into wounds that have never fully healed, you lean forward and pull the window closed. 
There is nothing left to see.

"Oh?" Sariel said amusingly to the cold blonde prince, "I figured you two would get along nicely, seein as (y/n) is the author of one of your favorite books." Chevalier paused, eyes widening slightly in shock before going reverting back to normal cold stare.
"Oh!" You chirped up, "you've read my books? which one is your favorite?" You chuckled excitingly, not getting much of a reaction out of the brutal beast.
"I was not aware you were an author," Chev said, looking at you, "Be that is it may; You do not seem to conduct yourself the way you write." You scrunched your nose together and pursed your lips.
"Ouch," You chuckled, "What a backhanded compliment, thank you."
"Huh?" Luke chimed in with a tilted head, "But when looking into your background your name wasn't anywhere linked to any sort of author," He pointed out, a smile of admiration playing on his features. You shrugged before teasingly responding, "Haven't you heard of a pen name?" Raising an impressed eyebrow, Noktos lips curled up in a sly smile. "Oh? You'll have to tell me what it is, so I can read it myself, I would love to see what our precious Belle can do. Do you have a copy with you?"
Clavis roared out in laughter, pulling a very familiar book from behind his back, handing it over to Nokto. Where had he gotten that? Nobody knows, and never will, I suppose.
"I had already known of your writing endeavors!" He boasted, "Yours truly even took a read. Although, I fear your story lacks a very distinct amount of fun..."
Silvio, who was also listening in, decided to take the liberty of snatching the book out of Noktos hand, asking what only any businessman would ask.
"So...how much of a profit have ya made off of your books?" He studied it dubiously in hand, feeling the grooves of the spine and quality of the pages, "You must be pretty well off if it's considered the 'brutal beasts' favorites." With a haughty smile, he naturally threw in, "If I like it enough, I might even invest in it, if you'll make a deal with me, I'll be sure all of Benetoite knows your name, lady." Sighing slightly you gave him a side glance before rolling your eyes.
"I make enough to be content. what matters is that others enjoy my writing, not how much I make off of it." You replied bluntly. Silvio only scoffed before keith also gave his two cents, holding out his hand for Silvio to hand him your book. With a startled look, his eyes lit up in excitement.
"I've read this book! you wrote it? I'm a huge fan of all of your works, the way you write is so mesmerizing it's difficult to put it down! Would you mind uh- ah..." He stopped himself with a blush tainting his cheeks, "I'm sorry! You must not like being bombarded with all of my questions. I-" You interrupted Keith with a hearty chuckle.
"Don't worry Keith, let's have tea and sweets sometime and you can ask me all you want." You threw a side glance at Chevalier, "You're welcome to join as well, Prince Chevalier." He glanced up from his paperwork in hand only for a mere second, enough for you to understand he heard what you had suggested.
"Ah-" Keith started as Gilberts hand snaked from behind and snatched the book out of his hand, flipping the book to it's back to read the synopsis. He looked up at you with his piercing red eye, his smile unwavering as he tucked the hardcover under his arm.
"A noblewoman writing a book in an alias," He hummed, "I believe any other would like their name to be well known, to bring up their family name and increase the likelihood of their popularity," You froze in place and glanced around the room for an awkward moment, trying to think of some excuse to tell the Obsidianite prince. After a moment of silence, he let out a low giggle, turning on his heel and heading out the door.
"I'm only teasing, little rabbit. Thank you for the book, I sincerely hope you do not disappoint. After all, if he (chev) likes it, surely it must have its merits. I will find you when I'm done, I want to join in on your little tea party to discuss my thoughts as well." You sucked in your breath as he left the room, your pursed lips coming apart with a 'pop!'.
"Well," You chuckled nervously, grabbing the drink Silvio had graced you with and lifting it in the air before downing the contents, "Here's to hoping he likes the book!"

Hello there (●’◡’●)ノ may I request a teen(?)! Belle headcanons. The ikemen princes see her as a little sister figure. Maybe she's 14 to 17. It'll be funny to see her act bratty and chaotic to them once she gets comfortable but she does know when to get serious. Loves fun, food, and maybe she finds smth she wants to do while being there. Maybe she wants to be like one of the princes and handle sword, or maybe a doctor. It could be anything tbh, just want to see little sister fluff.
✮ A Little Trouble ✮
Platonic! Ikemen Princes x Teen! Reader
Hi!! Thank you sm for requesting!! I love the idea and I’m sorry if I went a little off the topic of the request💞 I would have finished this yesterday but tumblr deleted my work :,(
I did take on a little more calm approach to the stories so please feel free to request again for anything more specific!
Foreign affairs faction
˖⁺‧₊˚ ♡ ˚₊‧⁺˖
Tumblr media
Clavis can’t help but burst out laughing when he first saw the girl; giggling about “Is there no pure hearted adults left in Rhodolite?
His interest was peaked however at Sariel’s choice of Belle. This meant that Clavis became Belle’s unofficial guide for the first weeks of her stay.
It wasn’t very long until Belle realised how much Clavis loved to prank his brothers and now her (his newest victim). He loved how the girl could get so bratty and chaotic at times, she was simply so entertaining!
Belle endured the whole list of Clavis’ pranks. Potholes, jumpscares, eating cupcakes with horseradish in them (twice) and the list goes on.
It wasn’t until one day that Belle simply had enough. She screamed at Clavis to leave her alone before slamming the door of her bedroom in his face. It was only a couple seconds later that Clavis’ grin turned to a frown, slowly walking away from the girl’s room.
A couple of days went by without Belle seeing Clavis. It was strangely quiet. No pranks, no laughing and definitely no jumpscares. She started to miss the purple haired man’s light hearted pranks and contagious laughter.
Obviously Clavis hadn’t disappeared, he had to make sure that Belle was safe and comfortable so he watched from afar.
Shreds of colourful paper, markers and washitape sprawled all over the Belle’s bedroom floor. She laid on fluffy cotton rug, kicking her feet in the air as she doodled a drawing of a very familiar purple haired man in the decorated page. It wasn’t long before Belle caught a whiff of vanilla surrounding her and the sound of the door closing caught her attention. She looked up to see Clavis carrying a plate of heart shaped cookies, placing them on the ground next to Belle before plopping to lay down next to her. He started to rip pieces of coloured paper too, sprinkling glitter on every surface of that once white page. Clavis’ paper soon filled with messy handwriting, clumsy drawings and too much glitter and stickers to count. The girl couldn’t help but laugh “I didn’t know you knew other languages!”. Clavis simply chuckled “Clavese is the mosy rare language in the world! Only two people understand it. You can be the third.” Clavis didn’t have to finish his words as the girl’s eyes glistened with excitement and her head nodded quickly.
Tumblr media
Chevalier was the most displeased. As you can imagine.
Chevalier had shown no interest in the new Belle. Since she was a teenager, Chevalier saw her as incapable. Going out of his way to ignore her, but Belle wasn’t giving up that easily . She followed Chevalier sometimes, or simply watched as he finished his work for the day.
The new Belle always remembered to ask about his day, if he remembered to eat and even bought cookies that Yves helped her to make for him. If he ‘forgot’ to eat, he would get an earful of why eating was important (as if he was a mere child who didn’t understand the importance of eating).
Chevalier admired the new Belle’s courage to scold the Brutal Beast over things so minor and soon he felt a weakness sprouting in his icy heart. His weakness being her.
He enjoyed how her voice filled the usually cold air of the faction’s office, her giggles and deep analysis over very minor things. She was the only one Chevalier allowed to ramble to him if she so desired.
He trusted her to invite her to his own private library, watching her curious eyes linger on the golden lettering of each book. Books about politics, romance, plays, novellas, poems and much more littered the shelves of the room. This was part of Chevalier’s little world that he was willing to share with Belle.
However, Chevalier didn’t allow Belle to slack at her new job. In fact, he made sure she did all of Sariel’s homework and read the books assigned to her. Sometimes coming into her room with an icy glare which told Belle all she needed to know.
The bright moon was covered by grey fluffy clouds, rays of its light peaking through the ashy curtain. The pink bedroom was dark, only the light of the brightest star shining through to illuminate its light on the yellowed pages of Chevalier’s book. Belle sat on the floor under the window. Earlier the same day, she had expressed her desire to want to understand Chevalier better; wanting to see the world through his eyes. She had asked the man to train her with a sword but she only got a glare in response. Therefore she had taken the liberty to take steal a book of his from his private library. It wasn’t anything she would normally read but it was the first book she grabbed. Her eyes were glued to the page, reading each word intently with furrowed brows. “Draconian? What does that even mean?” She muttered angrily; so focused on the stolen book that she didn’t realised her door was open revealed a tall blonde man standing in its frame. It was only when she heard a noise that sounded oddly like a snort that she looked at the doorway. Her eyes widened but before she could muster an excuse, Chevalier beat her to it and spoke with a small smile-
“Try reading a book written for your age.”
Tumblr media
Luke made sure she was protected. I mean, you can’t blame him. A young girl having to live in a dangerous palace? THE SAME YOUNG GIRL THAT IS BELLE AS WELL?? He knew he had to do everything possible to make sure she was safe.
Imagine his happiness when the new Belle confessed her love for food and honey! That was the moment that really brought the two together.
Belle found the way Luke attracted animals as fascinating, trying to bring him to the woods to lure any cute animals or just have a look at them up close.
Due to this, Belle had taken a hobby of drawing the animals she saw around Luke and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. She knew she had to work hard if she wanted to achieve her goal.
Luke tried his hardest to support Belle with her studies assigned by Sariel. He went as far as trying to study with her but ultimately failing and convincing her to take a nap outside instead.
When she told Luke about how she wanted to learn more about animals, he was very delighted. Due to his talent of attracting them, Belle learnt a lot about all kinds of forest animals.
It was a calm summer afternoon. Bees buzzed from one blooming rose to another, collecting pollen for their hives. As the bees were busy, Luke and Belle were doing quite the opposite. The two laid side by side under a tall oak tree, resting in the shade as if Belle wasn’t supposed to be in one of Sariel’s lessons right now. The golden beams of sunlight peered through the leaves, the sun directly on Belle’s cheek leaving a warm kiss on her skin. They weren’t the only ones resting under this tree however as earlier that day a dog had followed Luke to the palace. The big dog had chosen to spread its shaggy body and large paws on Belle’s lap, making her unable to get up even if she wanted too. “I had this weird dream where I was a bear and you were a bear too” the [H/C] girl began “We were in a cave and I was really cold. But you came and hugged me! I felt much better” she smiled at the sweet dream and Luke couldn’t help return the smile. It was times like these were life felt the way it should; Simple.
Tumblr media
Nokto tried to stay away, mostly because of his reputation. He was fine with Belle and engaged in quick chit chat with her but nothing too long.
That was until he was strolling through the Rhodolite gardens when he heard soft crying. He simply couldn’t ignore the sound which led him to find Belle crying on a bench on the far right of the palace.
The 7th Prince sat on the bench with Belle, saying with his usual grin for her stop crying and smile. Belle simply looked up at the man before turning her head away, mumbling that he wouldn’t understand.
After a while of silence, Nokto asked more sincerely. “What’s going on?”. That was when the new Belle started to explain how, while she was happy to be Belle, she had to leave all her friends and family behind. She missed them and fortunately Nokto knew something about missing family.
“They’ll be there when you come back, no need to cry now”.
That day forwards, they started to talk more before kind of became inseparable. Just like twins, communicating by pulling silly faces across the round table or bickering over the best flavour of pie.
Nokto liked Belle’s chaotic personality, he enjoyed picking small fights and such. One of their favourite activities being chasing one another. Loud laughter filling the halls as Belle fell victim to Nokto’s tickling.
It was only when Nokto realised how close they became when he started to laugh. Belle had started to pick up on some of his habits like calling Chevalier ‘King Highness’ and trying to outfox Sariel (unfortunately that didn’t work). He was happy because she was happy.
However sometimes there were moments where no laughter was heard, no smiles shared and no trance of joy between the two.
Quiet steps filled the air of the palace, the sneaky fox trying to escape the place before a small voice stopped him in his tracks. “Nokto!” The voice called out. Nokto turned slowly to the voice, the red moon’s light casting his face in its bloody glow. A moment of silence passed before the cream coloured marble echoed loud clicking from Belle’s hard shoes which she had put on just a minute prior. When she reached the white haired man, the young girl wrapped her arms around him in an embrace. The Prince’s whole body tensed before relaxing and hugging the girl back. No words were needed to make them both understand. She simply had a nightmare, he simply had to stay.
Not proofread and I’m thinking of making a masterlist. Anyways,I hope you enjoyed!! Goodbye my Doves 🕊️
If you like my work, feel free to requests!

(A/N): Aaand the second part! <3
Tumblr media
IkePri's Sleeping positions! x GN! Reader - Part 2
Warnings:
Characters: Chevalier, Luke, Yves, Jin, Licht, Leon, Ikemen Prince
Word Count: 335
Tumblr media
Chevalier Michel
Sleeping schedule worse than Jin's haircut
He's a hugger, 100%
No matter if it's a pillow or a poor, little rabbit
Doesn't sleep much, usually a really light sleeper
We know that he doesn't like to wake up early (slay)
So get ready to get squished to death by him
Luke Randolph
Sleeps everywhere, anytime
Sometimes you wonder if they way he's sleeping ever hurt him
Snores. Snores really loud. You'd think there was a construction side in the garden but suprise! it's just Luke
Head back, arms crossed, legs spread
Ffs, he's taking up the ENTIRE bench
Sleeps like a rock but open a jar of honey and he's awake and ready for duty! (eating the honey)
Yves Kloss
Tumblr media
I will not elaborate further.
Jin Grandet
Similar to Luke, but less.. messy?
Manspreads like his life depends on it, too
But doesn't sleep around the palace (he does but that's a different thing-)
Takes up the entire bed, face first into the pillows
Honestly, he looks like he just fell into bed and went ''fuck it, this is how I sleep today''
On top of his covers, sometimes uses them when it's cold or he has uhm... 'guests' over
Licht Klein
Sleeps like a sick victorian child
Completely still in the middle of the bed, covers halfway up his chest and hands folded on top of them
Quiet, not a single sound can be heard, not even breathing
Doesn't turn around, ever
Just sleeps like that, still, unmoving
When you sleep in the same bed, you'll have to curve around him
Leon Dompteur
''I don't have any space, Leon.''
''Me neither.''
Camera cuts to the entire bed
You lay at the edge of your side, almost falling off while Leon hugs you from behind, the entire bed behind him is empty
Will not move, no matter what
Steals blankets just to throw them to the ground
Hugs you like a baby koala, so you don't even need those blankets :)

Home slippers on, you pad towards the living room to discover Chevalier on the couch, reading glasses on, a paper on his hand and a stack of the same beside him, wearing the most remarkable frown you have ever seen in the entire time you’ve known him. The ends of his brows are so pulled down that you’re afraid that they’ll be stuck there permanently. Not that his scowling face is ugly, of course, but he’s just as beautiful if not more when smiling.
A/N: I mentioned this once before, but I wanted to write a self-indulgent college/university AU for ikeseries. It's just going to be a low-stakes writing exercise, to de-stress from the major fic projects (i.e., novelist AU, ocean water fic, Kanetsugu fic). Reader will always be (unless indicated) of unspecified gender. I will write for other characters too, when the mood strikes.
The first fic for this verse is, of course, about Chevalier 😂 I don't know how to write fluff; this is the extent of fluff I can write lmao. Also, sorry for the corniest ending – I didn't know how to end the fic lol
The apartment is quiet when you open the front door, dim but with enough light at the end of the hallway for you to see a pair of oxfords arranged neatly on the top of the shoe rack. A smile creeps onto your lips without your bidding, soft warmth spreading from your chest, which tempts you to just shake off your own shoes. You refrain from the urge, knowing that he wouldn’t be amused about it.
Home slippers on, you pad towards the living room to discover Chevalier on the couch, reading glasses on, a paper on his hand and a stack of the same beside him, wearing the most remarkable frown you have ever seen in the entire time you’ve known him. The ends of his brows are so pulled down that you’re afraid that they’ll be stuck there permanently. Not that his scowling face is ugly, of course, but he’s just as beautiful if not more when smiling.
You place your bag on the adjacent couch, your eyes never leaving him. “Is it their arguments this time?”
Chevalier doesn’t spare you a glance; he encircles something in the paper with the fountain pen you’d gifted him five years ago. You’d agonized over what to give him for his birthday at the time. Chevalier’s the sort of person who has everything, and you were desperate to make a good impression that you resorted to consulting Clavis of all people.
In the end, you decided on something elegant but useful.
“It’s obvious that this one didn’t read the assigned cases,” Chevalier says after a few moments. Then he immediately clicks his tongue and underlines a whole paragraph.
You peek into the paper, and have to suppress a wince. The margins are filled with comments, the body peppered with copyediting symbols – it’s a bloodbath. Silently you send a thought for the poor student who’ll receive that paper next week.
“Could’ve been worse,” you say, circling around the couch to approach him from behind. “They could’ve inserted another Please marry me after I graduate Professor in the essay. I still remember the exact moment Dean Sariel’s blood pressure rose.”
That had been an interesting week. Everyone in Chevalier’s department knows that despite his cold and ruthless personality, he’s still a popular professor in the university. Students have to fight each other to get a slot in his courses. His ice-prince reputation doesn’t deter them in the slightest. You suspect that some students fail his course on purpose to retake it next year. When asked about it, Chevalier would just glare, frown, and roll his eyes.
One had been bold enough to insert such sentence in their essay. You were there the moment Chevalier read the words. It was like watching a critical scene in slow motion: his eyebrows shooting up, eyes blinking twice before widening, glasses sliding down his nose, expression slack; then, as if flipping a switch, his face rippled into an offended scowl, storming out of the apartment and marching straight to the dean’s office. You’d been worrying over what he’d do, so you scrambled after him.
(The day Chevalier returned the papers, he made the class go through the most excruciating recitation known to man. Some didn’t survive, some returned a changed person; even today alumni and seniors still talk about That Incident in whispers, as if Chevalier has eyes and ears everywhere [which: possible].)
Chevalier ignores you and continues to grade the paper. In the years you’ve been together, you’re already used to his cold tendencies. Although he’s not an affectionate person, you can feel his love in other ways.
You press your hands on the backrest, flanking Chevalier’s head. “Why didn’t you ask your TAs to help you with grading?”
“There was no need. I can finish this tonight.”
Very efficient, very competent. Very grumpy. You grin at the crown of his head.
“If you need moral support –”
“I don’t.”
“– then I’m just here, at your beck and call.”
There’s a minuscule pause, fleeting, and if it wasn’t for your proximity you wouldn’t have noticed it. But you did, and that reassures you to proceed with your plan.
Your hands slide down to his shoulders, encircling him. Chevalier gives no indication of resistance or anything at all, so you press further, bending down to bring your face near his. Playfully, you say, “How about I give you a kiss on the cheek, for motivation?”
You tilt your head to do so, but in a surprise twist, Chevalier turns his head so your lips smack against his. You blink, caught off-guard. His eyes are bluer through the lens of his glasses, his forehead smooth and absent of creases.
He moves slightly for a better angle then closes his eyes, nibbles on your lower lip. When he retreats, Chevalier wears a look so smug you can’t do anything except to laugh helplessly and fondly.
“Did that motivate you?”
“Hardly. You just have to stay and keep trying.”
You grin at that, your heart brimming with such affection for this man. “Guess I should,” you say, unable to keep the softness and warmth in your voice.
Chevalier transfers the stack of papers to the coffee table as you settle beside him, leaning on his shoulder while he goes back to the essay. He snakes his free arm around you, pulling you firmly against him, and then it’s back to being quiet again.
Quiet, but warm.
Endnotes:
1. I wasn't able to include it in the fic, but you (reader-chan) work at the ministry of foreign affairs. You met some years ago because the ministry consulted Chevalier about something related to his expertise (he's a professor of International Relations, with specialization in int'l law). You worked directly with Chevalier, and the sincerity and diligence with which you conduct your work had made an impression on him.
2. Chevalier currently supervises three graduate students, one of whom Clavis annoys regularly.
3. Once, Chevalier crossed swords with Professor Kenshin from the history department (they're both kendo/fencing enthusiasts). It was the talk of the campus for a whole month. It even made the front page of the student newspaper.
4. After reading that please marry me professor essay, Chevalier stormed into Sariel's office and announced that he was going to fail a student for not taking his course seriously. Sariel had to convince Chevalier that there's a better way to handle the matter; thus, The Recitation Incident came to be.
5. You and Chevalier have been living together for three years now.

You cite it as a personal favorite:
Some of your books talk of the borders between two bodies. That two bodies physically engaged to the marrows will indeed bleed into one. Love—or love of carnality—melts distinctions with a screaming need to never be apart. An orgasm is a shared heartbeat, if only in that moment. And that is a moment that humans share.
Today those books are wrong. There is no dispute. You decisively end where Chevalier begins.
In a velvety meadow of heather overlooking the Jadean moors.
Embraced by peat, petrichor and the full force of Chevalier's ardor.
You're tangled with him in his cloak from rolling around in the grass like fools.
Chevalier's reason ends where you begin.
Between heady, pleasurable thrashing you bury your burning cheeks in the bell-shaped flowers as the winds snap their necks. As the winds disguise themselves in your cascading gasps. Your heartbeat is a war drum in your ears whenever Chevalier changes angles.
Planked on top of you, he palms your cheeks between his calloused hands and thumbs your eyelids shut, stretching your lashes downward. The last thing you see is everything you mean to him reflected in the frozen sea of his gaze. And the waters smolder.
Your lips, now pressed into a perfect pucker, are his to chew raw. Every tug and scrape and indent is an answer for your clawing hands flaying the human skin from the beast. Somehow more of his clothing covers you than it does him, and his back is wet with blood.
All the while Chevalier's hips break you into the wet earth. You are hollowed to make way for the King. Your walls never stood a chance.
His bites turn into kisses and with tongue and teeth you spar back.
Your hands come back up over his shoulders, and though you can't see a thing, you can feel your fingers track mud and crimson through his hair, over his cheekbones and sharp jaw, down his elegant neck and against his bobbing throat.
Chevalier still won't let you look at him, and you wonder if you shouldn't do the same: hide the beast in you from the only man you'll ever love.
Chevalier finds you and finds you and finds you. The you between your legs that waits like a throne. And he takes you and rewrites you in the name skewered between the attacks and parries of your battered lips.
You know you've surrendered first when he finally releases your eyes.
No.
You breathe in sight and new sensation.
Chevalier strokes your bottom lip with his thumb. Your head fills with war drums again, but they're receding. His hair dances against the bone-white tableau of an empty sky. His eyes appear a beautiful pale-gray in this place between places. His smile, little more than sunlight glancing off a blade, is not that of a king but that of a lover.
You never tire of that laugh as he says: "I'm impressed."
You smile back even as you rub your sore jaw. "Learned from the best."
Your knuckles brush against his and he snatches your hand up to his lips. He stops halfway however, as if changing his mind. And then he brings his head down to rest over your heart.
"...?"
You know he can hear your question without looking at you, but this might be one of those myriad nuisances the King chooses to ignore.
Or so you think until he sighs and grumbles with royal petulance: "I'm merely inspecting my territory."
It's so cute that you can only laugh.
--
And somewhere in a nearby building Prince Keith wonders where his guests fucked off to after lunch.

The Obsidianite Jewel
A fem!reader x Chevalier Michel Fanfiction
Chapter 8 -> Chapters Masterlist
Words:
Warnings: angst kinda
Summary: It all started when your fiancé, Prince Gilbert, brought you to the palace of Rhodolite. He hoped he would find the secrets of the princes. Instead, he lost your heart to the brutal beast. However, Gilbert is not going to let your heart wander away easily.
Note: sort of an Emma/Belle pov
Tumblr media
It was another ball in the palace of Rhodolite. Emma had just arrived at the ballroom and was discreetly making her rounds, trying to learn more about the eight princes. By the time the last petal fell, she would have to appoint one of them as King, and she was determined to make the right choice.
She left Chevalier for last. Standing alone in the far back of the room, the Brutal Beast toppled all who approached him, either in height or in stature or both. She hesitantly made her way towards him. Only a few days earlier, she'd seen him return from the garden with Clavis, both of them covered in foreign blood, from their hair to their toes. And now? Now his presence emanated an aura of majesty as he observed each noble who arrived. If she had not known he was a prince she would have believed he was already a King himself.
She took a deep breath. Clavis had advised a direct approach. As ridiculous all his other plans might had been, from the horrid breakfast to the unreasonably deep pits, he was the sole person in the palace whom Chevalier called by name. That had to mean something for what there was between them. They had grown up together, so if anyone knew how to speak to the White Tiger it would be him. She would take him at his word this time. She had only her head to lose if he was wrong.
"Good evening Prince Chevalier", she curtseyed.
The prince did not spare her more than a look. However, he neither moved away nor did he harm her in any way. Emma masked a sigh of relief. Before she could ask her questions, a trembling noble carrying a wine bottle approached them.
“Your Highness”, he called and bowed, “I have been meaning to thank you for your faction’s help in establishing the wine trade with Jade”
Chevalier’s only response was a raised eyebrow. The man seemed to fight a fervent battle against discouragement as he sought the syllables to continue.
“I have brought this small gift to you”, he extended the wine bottle towards the prince, “a small token from our region”
Chevalier’s words had always had two meanings, and only those closest to him knew how to interpret them. What he wanted to say, was something along the lines of “The responsibility of royalty is not upheld under the promise of reward”. Instead, the words that left his lips were “I have no use of gifts”, followed by a chilling stare that made the man draw his hands back and back away a few steps. The noble, stuttering, practically shoved the bottle at Belle’s hands saying that she should have it. Then, he turned on his heel and left before Chevalier said another word.
“Wasn’t”, Emma whispered, “Wasn’t that...a bit...rude”.
Her voice grew quieter the further she got into that sentence, yet Chevalier still heard it. “If that is how you see it”, he scoffed.
He turned to leave, but just then his eyes were caught by a figure, entering through the door. “Y/n”, he murmured. Unlike all other words he spoke, that name encased innumerable contradicting emotions. Joy and sorrow, excitement and worry, desire and cautiousness...there were more of them bottled in that name than in all of Chevalier’s conversations in his life, added together.
“Who?”, said Belle but he had already moved away.
She moved towards Clavis and Nokto, who was standing the closest. Nokto's expression grew sourer each time Clavis tried to spoonfeed him what resembled somewhat a piece of cake that had a sticky black liquid oozing from the side.
"Come now little brother", Clavis threw his arm over his brother's shoulder, "I put so much effort and you're hurting my feelings".
Nokto pushed frantically at Clavis, his desperation evident. And so his face lit up even more when Emma approached. "Emma!", he drew Clavis' attention to her, "How are you enjoying tonight?"
Clavis immediately released Nokto and reached for the young woman. He had the glee of a small child as he spoke, "Emma! You will try my cake, won't you? It'd be rude not to!"
Without waiting for an answer, he shoved a spoon into Emma's mouth. She barely held her tears as she forced herself to swallow.
"See? She's crying tears joy!", Clavis prided at Nokto's bewildered face.
"Do you need some water?", Nokto was finally able to say.
"I'm alright", Emma coughed, "Actually I had a question. Who is y/n?"
The brothers raised their eyebrows on cue.
"Oh, that's", Nokto opened his mouth but he was neither quick nor loud enough. On the other hand, Clavis was both.
"What an amusing question!", he laughed, "Now where exactly did you hear that name?"
"Well prince Chevalier..."
Nokto's eyes grew even wider, if that was even possible. However, it seemed to be a day when impossible things were easy to come to pass, as Clavis's already inhumanly wide smile stretched even wider.
"Let's go see together then shall we?", Clavis threw his arm around Belle's shoulder and guided her towards the crowd, "I have a feeling something very amusing is about to play out"
“If she’s here, she’s here as eyepatch’s spy”, Nokto pulled Clavis back by the arm.
Clavis released himself with ease and placed his hand on Nokto’s shoulder. “Oh little brother, how blind you’ve been”, he smirked, “I’d say you lost your touch”
And with a conspiratory wink, he continued his way, firmly holding Emma by the hand. He elegantly avoided all the dancers as he took the two of them to the table close to the grand staircase. He chose two glasses of grape juice and gave one of them to Emma.
“Ehm...grape juice?”, she smelled the glass’ contents, “Is that why you-”
At that point, the bellowing knock of a staff echoed in the ballroom. Clavis smiled behind the cover of his glass, his eyes pointing at the top of the stairs. "Her Highness, Y/n, crown princess of Istidor", the servant announced.
Emma raised her gaze. Then and only then did she see her. The beautiful woman standing at the great ballroom’s entrance was the definition of a princess. She was what Emma pictured a princess would look like each time she read one of her many many books. Her hair was decorated with ornate jewellery. Her blue floor-length gown danced around her as she climbed down the stairs, the tail elegantly draping behind her. She never turned to look down and yet she was as sure-footed as an acrobat. The silver embroidered stars sparkled under the golden candlelight. An air of regality surrounded her. Her expression showed that she was a royal, a class above the rest, yet her eyes did not look down upon anyone. She shone like the moon; and much like the moon, she drew the attention toward her.
Just then, Belle noticed Chevalier. He had retreated to the far back of the room, behind all eyes that could spot him staring. His lips were sealed shut and straight, but his eyes were sewn onto the figure of the princess descending to the ballroom. Emma looked back towards the woman. Her eyes searched the room for a while before they spotted the brutal beast. They remained on the brutal beast until he looked away and left the room.
“Your Highness”, Sariel was the first to welcome the princess. He placed his hand over his heart and gave a respectful bow. “We were not expecting you”, he said.
“I do apologise”, her voice sang like a beautiful melody, “I only just arrived when I heard from Prince Clavis about your ball. I am afraid I could not keep myself from coming after his invitation”
Emma looked at the violet-haired prince next to her. His golden eyes shimmered with delight. “Who is she?”, she asked.
Clavis threw his arm around Emma’s shoulders once again. He turned her towards princess y/n who was now chatting with Leon. “You heard who she is. She is princess y/n”, he said, “And he is Obsidian’s next queen”
Emma’s grip faltered. The crystal glass she held fell and shattered on the rose-marble floor. She quickly snapped out of her shock at the sight of countless eyes falling on her. Clavis grabbed her hand. He twirled her body with a smile and pulled her towards the dance floor, leaving a butler to clean the mess. He placed his hand on her waist and brought her body close to his as a new polka began.
“If she’s who you said she is”, Emma tried to keep up with the dance’s joyous steps, “why is she here?”
Clavis let his laughter ring loudly. “I have my reasons”, he winked at her.
“Which are?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?”, he span her around at the music’s beat. Emma’s eye’s danced as well as her legs tripped on one another, but Clavis did not let her fall. “But I’ll tell you this”, said the prince, “this is not a secret that’s hard to see”
Emma pushed him away. He continued to smile as she walked away from him. For goodness sake, she thought, he was indeed the nuisance Sariel always spoke of. She went outside, to the garden. She needed some air. Y/n seemed beautiful and educated and refined, yet it did not take a genius to see that her presence in Rhodolite was worrisome. The attendant had said she’s from Istidor, so if she were to become Obsidian’s next queen she would have to do so by marriage. But why was she here? Why did Clavis bring her? She could not know.
She went back inside. On her way to the ballroom, she took a wrong turn. The palace was still new to her and getting lost was a common occurrence.
“What does he want from you?”, she heard a man say. Emma stopped at her tracks. That voice spread a chill through her body. It could only belong to one person; Prince Chevalier.
“I don’t know”, said a woman, “He told me to come here, he couldn’t have done it for no reason”
The voices were coming from a small corridor to Emma’s right, almost impossible to spot in the night. At its end, there was a narrow door; Emma could not had found it but as an accident.
“I assume you don’t need me to tell you your attendants are his spies”, Chevalier spoke again.
“Do you take me for that much of a fool?”
“No”, Chevalier laughed. It was short and subtle, but it was an actual laugh. “You are an intelligent woman”, he said.
“Yes, and I am surrounded by foolish men”
There it was again. It resembled more of an amused scoff, not even enough to be called a chuckle.
“I should be getting back”, the woman said, “They’ll realise I’m gone”
Emma hurried back to the end of the hallway. “Wait”, said Chevalier. Emma turned, but the door was still closed. He was not talking to her. “Why?”, he asked.
“Why what, your highness?”, said the woman. There was no response from Chevalier. After a while, she sighed and said “I like this place”. There was a softness in her voice, a sweetness that was hard to fake. Even without laying eyes upon the woman’s face, Emma could easily imagine a loving expression adorning it.
The door opened. Emma scrambled away to hide, but she was not quick enough. She locked eyes with the beautiful princess she had seen before.
“Oh”, the princess exclaimed, “What do we have here?”
“I’m sorry”, Emma stammered as Chevalier came into view, “I got lost”
The princess did not seem to believe her. Her hand reached inside the pocket of her dress, no doubt for a weapon or some sort of alarm. Chevalier placed a hand on y/n shoulder.
“She’s telling the truth”, he said. Emma noticed his fingers linger on the princess’ bare skin. “She’s a harmless lamb”, he said.
Y/n was looking at his hand. She raised her gaze to meet his. He stiffened. Emma only knew because she was a bit further away. He drew his hand away and marched back to the ballroom as if nothing had happened. The princess turned away. Emma could not see her cheeks, but the moonlight revealed a slight tint of red at the wing of her ear.
“Hello”, the princess called her in the end, “What’s your name?”
“I’m a...I’m Emma”, said the Belle. She could not falter in front of someone so close to the enemy nation. But was she herself an enemy?
“I’m y/n”, the princess said calmly. “It’s good to meet you, Emma”
And with that she left towards the ballroom, her hands elegantly holding her dress out of her feet’s way.

Tumblr media
Chevalier had a knack for predictions. His perception had always been extraordinary, able to pick up the smallest of clues from his environment and the people around him to know what would happen next. It aided him in his development as a prince, working with his brothers to keep the kingdom running smoothly as his father’s health declined, and it helped him now that he was the king of that same kingdom. He was a monster on the battlefield, strategically taking down enemies with the ease of a beast, and was equally a monster in the courts, always knowing what information was needed where and who to deal with.
When it came to you, however, you were his blind spot.
No amount of strategy and foresight could have prepared him for the way your fates intertwined, or the way you captured his very heart in the palm of your hand. A younger Chevalier would have scoffed at such a notion, that he had the human emotion to even fall in love to begin with when he was most aptly labeled as the "Brutal Beast" by every possible noble in the court. But of course all it took was the wisdom and pure heart of Belle to look deep inside and find the truth. Looking back on the events leading up to the discovery of these feelings, once he met you, he realized it couldn't have gone any other way.
You managed to surprise him at every turn, with your unending love, your wisdom, your thoughtfulness and devotion. That's what made you fit to be his queen, someone that helped him bring out and connect with his human side. The day he married you was something he never could have dreamed of in a hundred years, and even much less so, the tiny babbling bundle you delivered into your lives a year later.
Now he watched as his tiny daughter, three years old and full of toddler mischief, ran through the rose gardens of the palace at alarming speed, eager to see you again after being separated during a diplomatic trip– and she wasn’t the only one that was eager. He could just make out the top of her head, her hair color the exact same as yours and bouncing along as she moved.
That was something he was thankful for, the way his daughter resembled you in so many ways. Her hair color, the shape of her face, even her personality and stubbornness was coming to resemble you too, and he had no doubt the similarities would continue as she grew older. She was also attached to books the same, though honestly he was just as much at fault for that as his queen. However, the one thing that differed was that she had inherited his eyes, a strong clear blue that somehow looked right into your soul.
The little princess was beginning to learn how to use those ice blue eyes to her advantage, much to his amusement. When something didn't go her way, she'd glare at whoever was responsible in no dissimilar way to his own until they cracked from the pressure. It was no end of stress to Sariel or his brothers, realizing there was a little Chev 2.0 in the making. She'd even turned that icy gaze onto him, too, managing to surprise him.
Anyone that looked at her knew immediately whose daughter it was, and something about that sentiment, creating this tiny human so clearly made up of his traits and yours together, warmed him up inside.
Getting lost in his reverie, he quickly lost sight of his small child and hastened his pace. The full bushes made it difficult to keep his eye on her, even with his keen eye and sense of danger, so outside excursions were often accompanied by extra help such as the servants or even Lucien on rare occasion. Thankfully, that wasn’t necessary today as you were the one waiting at the end of their journey through the garden, and the thick foliage made the path clear, leading up to a gazebo.
Just as the image of your face came to mind, he could hear a loud exclamation from up ahead, and turned a corner in time to watch his daughter run into your waiting arms.
“Mama!”
You couldn’t help but grunt from the force with which you were tackled, but your arms wrapped around your daughter as she gripped you tightly.
“Hi, my love! I've missed you,” you said, pulling back to kiss the top of her head. You noticed the missing presence of your husband, glancing around before looking back at your child. “I’m so happy to see you again. Where’s your papa at, can you tell me?”
“Papa is slow,” your daughter mumbled, the excitement of seeing you lost already as she caught sight of the butterflies flitting about from bloom to bloom behind you.
Her wording made you giggle against your better judgment. Your husband could be described as many things, but you were certain the word “slow” was not one of them. But almost as if summoned, his platinum blond head came into view over the bountiful rose bushes, and it was as if all was suddenly right with the world— even if he did have a slight frown on his face.
“Little rabbit, I’ve told you not to run ahead in the gardens,” he sighed, entering the gazebo and patting his daughter’s head roughly. Instantly, her attention turned back to him, two pairs of ocean blue eyes meeting briefly before she looked away.
“‘M sorry, papa, I won’t do it again,” she replied, reaching out to hug his leg, gripping the fabric of his pants with tiny hands. Anyone else that saw this scene would expect the King to be cold and unfeeling in response, but instead he sighed, patting her hair awkwardly without a word.
You watched all this quietly, unable to fight the smile that made its way onto your face. The method of his comforting reminded you much of the early days of your relationship in which he did the same, unsure how to touch you or perhaps even afraid to hurt you. Chevalier may have been called the Brutal Beast for his actions, but he was really more of a beast for the way he was unused to loving human touch.
Over time, he’d eventually grown better and more confident with touching you, a way to express his unending love for you that he couldn’t express with his serious and less-than-romantic words. But it all seemed to revert the moment your daughter was born.
You remembered the very first time he had held her. All his brothers and the palace physician had waited with bated breath, and it was clear in Chevalier’s expression that he had his own reservations about what he was about to do. How could hands used for killing, hands used for exterminating the threats to the kingdom and defending the borders, possibly be suitable for holding that of his small, innocent child? The moment his daughter was placed in his arms, his discomfort was extremely clear –to you, at least– arms frozen stiff in an attempt to be gentle to the tiny creature he'd been entrusted with. But it was this same discomfort and worried reaction that showed you just how much he actually cared about her, and about you, too.
The memory brought a smile to your face, which was met by a strong, familiar poke to the forehead.
“Do not let your head get caught in the clouds, Rabbit,” Chevalier said. His voice was chastising, but the smirk gracing his lips was soft, sweet, making your heart thump.
Chevalier caught sight of one of his brothers out of the corner of his eye, a familiar flop of lilac hair waiting just beyond an ivy-covered arch by the gazebo. It reminded him how, as his daughter grew and came to differentiate his brothers, an unfortunate attachment had grown to a particular somebody. Much to his dismay, his daughter seemed to like her uncle Clavis the most, often shouting his name and using her stubby legs to seek him out when she could, and the feeling was mutual with the resident troublemaker. And Clavis delighted in this fact, often rubbing that in his older brother’s face and using it as an excuse to irritate him at every turn.
But today, Chevalier would use it to his advantage if it meant having you to himself, at least for a little bit. He knelt down to eye level with his child, peering into her familiar ice blue eyes.
“Little rabbit, I want to speak to your mother,” he said. He turned in the direction of his brother, pointing to direct his daughter’s attention in the same direction as well. “Why don’t you go see your uncle Clavis? He’s waiting for you in the gardens.”
His daughter’s eyes widened to a comical size, filled with excitement. Her head whipped around to search, despite Chevalier’s finger pointing the way, but thankfully, Clavis was accompanied by his trusty attendant, Cyran, who popped his head out at the perfect time to catch her attention. His shock of red hair made him look like a human rose, against the background of the gardens.
A shrill shriek filled the air, causing you and Chevalier to wince simultaneously. “Unca Cwavis and Cyan!” Your daughter was still having trouble pronouncing her L’s and R’s, but the men didn't mind. Chevalier watched as his daughter shot forward, “Cyan” quickly bowing to Chevalier in greeting before catching the girl in his arms. As he watched the two leave, he felt an arm slip through his and turned to look at you.
“I’ve missed you too, King Chevalier. I’m so glad to see you look okay,” you said, your relief evident in your smile. “How was everything during the visit? Did everything go alright?”
Chevalier huffed at your questions. “Would I have returned so soon if things did not go well?”
Your face scrunched up for a moment, but you were used to Chevalier’s sass.
“I know, but I’m still allowed to worry about you,” you said, leading Chevalier over to a bench in the gazebo. “The people of Rhodolite know now what a kind King you are, but I can’t say the same about people in other countries. And I know you’re capable of handling many things, but I still don’t want you to get hurt. I’ll always wish for your safety and good health, can’t I wish that for my own husband?”
Chevalier took a moment to look at your face, eyes following the curve of your eyebrows and lips, the shape of your nose and jaw, all features he had long since memorized. Finally, he simply snorted, reaching a hand up to poke your forehead again as a smile made its way onto his lips.
“That is awfully sentimental, and also unnecessary,” he said. “I am not so weak as to be felled so easily. I will always return to my Rabbit in the end, so long as you wish to wait for me.”
Now who’s being sentimental? You didn’t dare say that to his face, although the caution was unnecessary, given the way he was always able to read your thoughts based on your expressions alone. His smile turned teasing, clearly knowing what you were thinking, but he didn’t comment further on it.
“Now, I believe you’re forgetting something,” he said expectantly.
He watched as your head tilted in confusion. The gears were clearly turning in your head to determine what he was waiting for, but it only took a moment for understanding to dawn on your face, your lips curving up into a warm smile.
“Welcome home, Chevalier,” you said, stretching up to place a soft kiss to his cheek.
His arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you close as he returned the kiss to your lips, the taste of home filling his senses. He didn’t speak further, but he didn’t have to. Every ounce of his love was put into his kisses, and you gladly accepted it all.
Neither of you could have ever predicted being here, Chevalier least of all. His life had become a fairy tale on par with the romance books he enjoyed reading but never totally understood. No amount of strict noble education, military strategy, or the annoying words of a certain foolish brother could have told him that a future like this was possible. But as he held you close under cover of the gazebo, happy to finally have you in his arms once again, he realized he was okay with that. You came into his life in a whirlwind of drama and intrigue, turning his expectations around and introducing him to so many unfamiliar things and feelings, like fatherhood, yearning, and love. It wore on him, at times, not being able to see where his future was heading thanks to all the new things he was experiencing by your side. However, so long as it was with you, Chevalier supposed he was okay with a little bit of unpredictability.
