You had dreamed of this moments for years. Jaskier holding your hand and telling you that he cares about you so deeply that his heart flutters whenever he sees you entering the room, as he sees you smiling at him and blushing when he flirts at you. That he feels his heart jump when you touch him. It had it all, ingredients for the perfect dream. But this time, it wasn't a dream. It was true. Jaskier was really telling you that he loves you.

But you pulled your hand away. It wouldn't work, you would ruin it somehow. Jaskier would get bored on you, noticing that it wouldn't work. You'd ruin it.

"Jaskier, I'm not good enough for you." you muttered as you looked down at the table.

"My love, what makes you say that?" he asked and your cheeks turned red because he used that nickname of you.

"I'd just ruin it, it would never work. I always ruin everything. I'm ugly and disgusting, you'll never love me enough."

Jaskier stared at you for awhile, examining your face. Then he leaned closer to you, taking both of your hands in his own. "Do you know what I see? I see someone who I've loved for years, someone who's beautiful inside and out. And I'd love you even if you looked like a donkey's ass. Your nature is kind and loving, and you'd make me the happiest man in the world if you let me to love you."

You stared at Jaskier, shaking your head as you tried to blink tears out of your eyes. "Why won't you understand, we'd never-"

"Y/N, listen to me. I believe in you. You've come a long road, a long and difficult road, but I want you to have happiness with someone. If it isn't with me, then fine, I'll be living with that. But you deserve someone who loves you the way you are."

You listened to him talking, still not completely believing the situation. This was everything you'd ever dreamt of. Jaskier was there, wiping your tears away with his thumbs and talking such sweet words to you and you stared at him, and your tears slowly turned into tears of happiness, and a smile spread on your face.

"Oh, Jaskier." you choked out and that was all he needed to hear as he leaned over the table and kissed you. Your stomach felt like fireworks had just emerged there and a thought appeared in your mind. A thought you thought was impossible to think of from you, that you'd genuinely think that and not say it just because someone asks if you feel like that.

Maybe you deserved this. Maybe Jaskier really loved you. And when you saw his face, when you saw the tears of happiness in his eyes too - you knew it was true.
