(Princess!Ochako x Knight! Reader)

It's been so long since the princess has felt this way.

This happy about anything. She'd wake in the wee hours of morning to see you off and wait til the moon rose above her head to see your return.

You were always so gentle with her, never once yelling or making her feel unwanted and small. She felt herself feeling safe in your arms and alive in your presence.

"My lady, you wished to see me?" She didnt even hear the door open. The princess peels her eyes away from her book.

Her chocolate brown eyes glistened beautifully as she leapt from her bed into your arms. You spin her around, hearing her giggles of pure joy.

Your heart swells everytime you hear such a gorgeous sound.

"I've been waiting for you all day. Where've you been?" She whispers.

You place her down. "I had to do my daily runarounds with that knight Bakugo, my lady. I'm sorry I kept you long. He's very... devoted to his work."

You both laugh. He did have a way of being very demanding with things. But, he was one of the most devoted individuals you've ever met.

"Come. Sit with me." She takes your hand and walk you to her bed.

"You've must be exhausted. I can get you a glass of water if you like?"

You decline her offer, making her pursue her lips.

"Darling, I'm alright. I'm with you. That's what matters to me most."

Her cheeks flare as she twiddle with her hair. You always liked making her flustered. It was a task that needed to be done every day.

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Stop worrying so much." You open your arms up for her to crawl into.

"What was the book you were reading?"

Ochako beams at the question.

"Its a lovely novel with countless stories in them. I'm on one about a knight who's committed a horrendous crime to a fair lady and is given one year to discover what women want or his head would be cut off."

You blink. You've never thought she'd read such a graphic story like this, but you couldn't help feeling curious.

You lay both of you against her headboard, pondering on what to say next.

"Have you finished it?"

"Not quite. I've only gotten to where he has pledged himself to a old hag of a woman."

Oh. She looks at your expression and immediately takes back her statement.

"No no no. I didnt mean it in a harsh way. It's just how the story presents her." She rushes out.

You could only chuckle at her attempt to make the situation better. She was always so quick to take back her sentences whenever it seemed to hurt someone.

Such a gentle spirit. You always strived to be as good as she was.

"Its alright, love. Don't worry about it. Why don't you read it me?" You ask.

Ochako frowns.

"Really?"

"I'm actually interested in how the story ends. I hope that bastard get what he deserves though."

She gasps, picking up her book and flipping to her appropriate page.

"That's a vile thing to say, my knight." She leans back into your chest as your arm wrapped around her waist from behind.

You kiss her temple.

"I love you."

She turns to you and kisses the corner of your lips.

"And I the same."

She begins her story, whispering each word but, keeping it loud enough for you to hear. You always did love hearing her read you a story. It helped ground you after a day of uncertainty.

Because when the fear was gone and you were left alone in the woods with your fellow knights beside you, you couldnt help but think of what she was doing.

How she was feeling.

Then, you'd drift off, making her the last thing you thought about and the first thing that came to mind as soon as you awoke.

Your little princess.

What would you do without her and her stories?

I actually like this one. Kinda cute, kinda soft, kinda funny.

But, mostly soft. 😌
