Our Strange Duet (Yandere Modern Princes x Reader)

Chapter 72: Soon

The sun had risen most splendidly that day, peeking over the balcony of the king's chambers and waking up the younger girl just slightly. It shone on her eyes, making it wholly uncomfortable to continue resting. However, she heard a shifting in the bed, and before she knew it, her back was pressed up against the blonde's warm body, turned away from the balcony. He held her around her waist, shielding her from any light that bothered her as well as providing heat for her comfort.

"Morning," the younger girl mumbled, refusing to wake up just yet.

The blonde simply gave a grunt in response, pressing his face into her hair and curling up around her. It was rare when Rei was able to sleep in, and for once, he was able to enjoy it. That being said, there was some part of him that wanted to wake up early to make the most out of his day with the younger girl. Still, the day had become more for her than for him, and he didn't mind it. As long as she made some progress in speaking with others, it would have been worth it.

"Cupcake," Rei whined, attempting to stop her from rolling around, "Just rest."

The younger girl clung onto the male's pajama shirt, nuzzling him in an attempt to make herself more comfortable. Waking up was never a joy, but he was the best thing to snuggle. Warm and supporting, she could never find it in herself to leave his side, especially when it was winter. Perhaps Vethela never grew too cold, but regardless, he was like a heated blanket. Her cheeks grew warm at the thought, cuddling further into him.

He moved his head up to allow her to burrow into his neck, letting out a high-pitched hum as she tickled him slightly. At that point, he had no chance of getting back to sleep. His focus was more on the younger girl, and his heart was already pounding quickly. The male's face was flush with embarrassment, the split of the moment selfishness she showed with his body messing with him.

Her hands were grabby when she didn't have full knowledge of what she did, but he adored it. His lips were slightly parted, wondering if she would kiss him or slip her hands under his shirt. At the thought, the male's breathing escalated, shaking his head vehemently. However, every time she moved, he wanted to smother her with his love and let her touch him wherever she wanted. He was hers, after all. It would have only been right for her to take advantage of what he presented.

"Oh, cupcake," he blushed, looking at her as she rested on his chest, "I'm going to have a heart attack!"

The male was subject to being filled with a great desire to kiss her awake, but he restrained himself. It was the equivalent of torture to him, but when she finally woke up, he was able to do as he wished. Her eyes opened and he swept her off the bed, spinning her around with repetitive kisses. A large smile was on his face as he did so, taking joy in her shy giggles. He was overjoyed to start the day.

"I've got a wonderful day for us, pumpkin! We'll be starting with a seasonal breakfast! Perfectly ripe and fresh spring fruits and vegetables!"

The (h/c) haired girl gave a shy smile at the sound of a delicious meal. Oftentimes there were sweets, but spring sweets sounded absolutely incredible. The younger girl followed happily after the blonde after they were changed, making their way to the outside seating area. It wasn't often where they ate in a place outside of the royal dining hall, but it was a nice change of pace. The fresh air and gorgeous view of the ocean astonished her as well as the aesthetically pleasing setup of the breakfast.

"Today I'm taking you to the beach," the blonde explained, feeding the younger girl a blueberry muffin, "Unfortunately...Zuki insisted on coming along and servants will be accompanying us, but we'll still have fun."

"It sounds wonderful!" the younger girl grinned, clapping her hands together, "I've never been to the Vethelan beach before!"

"I'm sure it will be just as magical as you think it will be. The sand is a beautiful white color and the oceans are clear. If we're lucky, some wildlife might grace our presence."
