heheheeh princes au (i know michael has two moms, but for the sake of the story he has a mom and a dad)
tw: a bit of blood, crying
michaels pov my prince training is finally over, now i get to rescue a princess.... yay. if you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm.
most princes would be ecstatic to rescue a beautiful princess, but not me, for one reason and one reasons only, i'm gay.
as gay as a rainbow, basically.
and neither of my parents know, though i think my mom is catching on by how hesitant i am to rescue a princess.
"alright, mahal, are you ready to go? do you have everything packed?" my mom asked, standing at the foot of my bed as i rummaged through my bag.
"moooommm, do i really have to?" i whine.
"michael, stop whining, you're a prince and you're 17." my mom scolds.
"b-but, i don't think i'm ready to rescue someone, what if we don't click or they're not... my type." i complain.
"shush, you'll do fine, sweetheart. now here's a map, follow the red path and you'll be there in about two days." my mom explains, handing me the rolled up peace of paper.
"wait, this is a different path than the map dad gave me." i point out, confused.
my mom leans in and whispers, "michael, don't play dumb. i know you're gay, that path will lead you to a prince locked in a tower."
i flush out of embarrassment and groan, "was it that obvious?"
my mom nods and exits the room.
i sigh and laugh a bit. rolling the map up and stuffing it in my pocket, grabbing my bag full of food and materials, and slinging it over my shoulder.

(it's one of those bags)
i said a quick goodbye to my parents and head off to the horse stables.
"hey, everest. you ready to go, boy?" i greet my horse to which he huffs in response.
as i was about to get on my horse, a certain dragon climbed onto my shoulder. i groan and face him, "smokey, no. you can't come with me." (the goodbye song starts playing in the background)
smokey growls in response.
"smokey, i said no." i scold.
he makes another dragon noise.
"you know what? fine, you can join me." i roll my eyes in defeat and get on my horse, smokey flying besides me as we head off into the forest.
~a few hours later~
i was getting tired and decided to stop for the night since it was getting dark, but before i could stop, someone almost ran into everest, causing the animal to freak out.
