[RE-WRITTEN IN A NEW BOOK] "May I have this dance?" || SkepHalo (Royal AU)

Chapter 12 - Letters

TW: A cuss word, (jokingly) mentions of drugs

I know these are small things but I don't want to risk it-

~Zak's POV~

I sit there, slumping my back.

Skeppy, my beloved <3

I just wanted to tell you that I won't be able to meet to meet you in the next two weeks. I'm so, so, so, sorry :c. I still love you, tho! I won't be able to send you a letter everyday, but I will write one and give it to you at the end of our mission! Don't worry, I'll stay safe. I'm not stupid. Besides, why would I purposely hurt myself if I know you'd worry? Don't worry too much tho >:c

Love, your bestfriend, Darryl.

(Ouch, he didn't just get friendzoned, he got BESTfriend-zoned.)

I graze over the writing, feeling every shallow dent in each letter.

On the bright side, I can move on better and focus on the arranged marriage I have right now.

On the other side, I need to go on a vacation, so, so bad.

I unconsciously let out a small growl, slumping my back even more to the point where I'm just laying on the ground. I throw the letter away out of stress, almost tipping my glass of water.

I feel a letter on my hand, and realise that it's Zoid's letter.

Greetings, Prince Zak.

I am letting you know that I'm looking forward to meeting you, and I am going to attempt to make our meeting memorable.

Signed, Zoid.

I sighed, before feeling dents on the right corner of the letter.

I have something important to tell you when we meet, please don't tell anyone. Thank you.

I look at the small writing before wondering what could she have meant.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Sir Zak?" I hear one of my assistants say, or at least my future assistant for when I'm gonna rule the kingdom.

"Yeah Lya?" (Yes, I added Lya because wow shes awesome.)

"Your parents wanted to call you for dinner, but then they saw me heading your direction, so I guess I'm calling you."

"Oh, oka-"

"I have to go to the bathroom now, bye!" She said hurriedly before running so fast that she disappeared out of existence. Sometimes I wonder what is going on in this reality.

I decided to finally stand up after sitting on the floor and leaning on the bed for an hour and a half.

I walked over to my closet, preparing my clothes for the tomorrow of tomorrow as I know that I'll just procrastinate if I don't do it now.

I always avoid responsibilities, I don't like people depending on me and me depending on people. Other than close family members, which includes Lefie since they're practically adopted.

I always get so...weird when I know that I need someone. I thought as I went through different long-sleeved shirts.

I guess the fact that someone I need might not need me is just roaming around my mind.

Curse these thoughts. Wait no, these thoughts are probably keeping me safe. I'm a soon to be king, why wouldn't anyone try to take advantage of me? No, that's selfish. I shouldn't think bad about someone, especially someone I never met. Can you blame me though? People can be awful, it wouldn't be a surprise if everyone I know just walked away.
