As a Date? (Soren)

Soren x Fem!Reader

Soren effortlessly swings his wood sword, trying to train Callum. He attacks with ease, while Callum tries hard to block them. He yells and swings the wood sword at Soren's feet. Soren just steps on the sword. 

"Uh, what was that?"

"I don't know. I was trying to sweep the leg?" Callum explains.

"That's not a thing in sword fighting." Soren rolls his eyes. Callum just looks past him at Claudia. Soren follows his gaze and chuckles. "Oh, I see what's going on here." Soren lets go of Callum's sword. "Don't worry, I'll help. Come at me this time." Soren takes a defensive stance. 

Callum smirks and charges him. He throws a few attacks then pretends to stab Soren.

Soren lets out a fake grunt. "Oh, I am stabbed! By the stab prince! Lord Stabbington! Why? Spurt!"

Claudia laughs from her spot on the bench. "Nice work, Callum! He deserves it."

In the same area, Y/N, a guard in training, was shadowing an older guard, Alix. They were teaching her how to patrol, which was literally the easiest thing ever. 

She watches over the space with her arms resting on the brick and her chin in her hands, completely zoned out. "Ughhhhh. When is it break time?" She groans, turning around and leaning on her elbows on the brick.

A nearby guard scoffs at Y/N. "Belive it or not, sometimes you have to deal with this as a guard." 

"Was I talking to you?" Y/N scowls. She really hated people. The guard Y/N was shadowing laughs a bit. Y/N stands up and punches the air. "I want to do some missions and action!"

"You'll get your turn. But for now, we have to do this." Alix says. 

Y/N puts her chin in her hand again. "I want to work with Soren."

"Well, Soren got to his spot by training and being patient." 

Y/N scoffs with a love-sick smile. "Never thought I'd hear Soren and patient in the same sentence."

Alix smirks and leans close to Y/N's ear. "Someone has a crush." 

Y/N gets beet red and freaks out. "I don't like Soren! Y-You do!" She accuses.

Alix laughs. "I have a wife. I'm way too old for him. Plus, I never said it was on Soren." 

"I-"

The nearby guards laugh at Y/N. She growls and points at them. 

"What are you laughing at?!" 

"You." The guard from earlier snickers.

"Why you little-" Y/N stomps over to him. 

Alix puts their hand in front of Y/N. "Maybe you should go take that break now. It's only a few minutes left of my shift anyway."

Y/N crosses her arms. "Hffpt. Maybe I will." She walks off and down to the area Soren and Callum were in. 

Soren was faking being hurt and had his eyes closed, not noticing Y/N walk up. 

She raises an eyebrow and playfully smirks at Soren. "Wow, someone younger than you bested you in sword fighting. Tsk, tsk." 

Soren instantly stops and opens his eyes, recognizing Y/N's voice. "What." 

Soren looks at her and scrambles up. "Oh! Yeah, umm, I was just trying to help Callum out. He wanted to impress Claudia." Soren whispers. 

Callum and Claudia exchange glances from across for yard, laughing at Soren's sudden change. 

"Oh, obviously." Y/N says. 

A lady walks by and says that the king wanted to talk to Calum. She walks away with him leaving Y/N and Soren alone. Both of them get a little awkward. Soren rubs the back of his neck, looking up at the sky while Y/N kicks some rocks, watching the ground.

Alix walks by, coughing while saying "Lovebirds."

Y/N notices and gets red, turning to glare at them. 

"Uh, what'd they say?" Soren asks. 

"Nothing!" Y/N turns back to Soren with wide eyes. "That was just my trainer, Alix." 

"Oh, I know them. They're pretty high up in the rankings. I'm sure you'll be a great guard with them as a teacher. Maybe one day you could catch up to me." Soren points at his chest.

Y/N giggles and gently punches his arm. "You know I will." 

There was a little bit of an awkward silence. 

"So, I've been cleared for the rest of the day." Soren starts. "And I could probably get your scheduled cleared if you wanted to go do something together?"

"As in... like a date?" Y/N says hopefully.

 "Well it could be if you wanted it to be." Soren stutters.

"Yeah, sure!"

Soren breathes in. "Was that like an 'I pity you and I don't wanna hurt your feelings' sure or an 'I genuinely wanna go on a date with you' sure."

Y/N slaps her hand to her head. "Do I really have to spell this out for you?" 

Soren thinks for a moment before nodding slowly. "Yes."

"Okay." Y/N sighs and gives Soren a kiss on his cheek. "I really like you. And I've been waiting for you to ask me out for a while. So, yes. I would genuinely enjoy going on a date with you." 

"Oh, uh. Well, I really kinda like you, too. That's why I asked to hang out. As a date." Soren chuckles awkwardly. 

Y/N giggles. "You're really adorable. See you tonight?" 

"Yeah, sure." Soren waves as Y/N walks away, dazed that that just happened. He pumps his fist inwardly, partying on the inside. "Yes!" He goes over to Claudia and leans on the tree next to the bench she was sitting at. "Guess who just scored a date with Y/N." 

"Ugh, finally." Claudia mutters.
