Dear Loid, (Loid Forger x Reader)

SPECIALxCHAPTER: 1

In honor of my 1k milestone, I've decided to create special chapters which primarily consist of one shots throughout the book. And, updates are coming at you all very soon!

ENJOY!!

Update: disregard that first sentence as this was written half a century ago but I just finished writing it on the toilet.

I'm lactose intolerant and I ate cheese 😞

"How much longer?" (Y/N) asks.

It was raining in the dead of night, only a light illuminating the two individuals underneath it. She doesn't care about getting wet, not when this banging feeling in her chest is hitting her like a drum.

The dress to the ball she wore is soaked, her hair stuck to her face, her makeup coming off. And still, she looked like the most gorgeous girl he'd ever lay his eyes on.

Her (s/c) hands crawled to her chest, grasping on the cloth.

"How much longer must I wait for you?" She asked the knight.

He stared down at her, not saying anything. He couldn't say anything, because truth be told, he couldn't.

"You're going to get sick." He mumbles, removing his coat to cover her. She blocks his arms that reach closer to him with his coat.

"How long?" She asks him once more, her fingers grazing his face.

He pulls away, almost like a flinch—

Like, like he was scared.

"Loid..." she whispered, retracting her hands. Her lungs take in a shaky inhale, her lips tremor.

"I—"

"I would follow you to the ends of the Earth." He cuts her off, his fists clenched. "If you asked me to hunt someone down, Princess, I would do it. Because I am your knight. Your protector, your one and only."

"Then,!"

Again, he cuts her off. "If I," he licks his lips, "If I choose to love you, those circumstances would change."

"Then let them change!" She shouts, huffing with anger and raw emotion.

"Let you, my knight, be something more. And let me, be more that just the Princess for you." She tells him.

"I, I can't." He whispers back. The sound of the rain hitting the leaves of the oak trees rattled the air.

"If I have you as anything more than my Princess, I wouldn't be able to take it. So much more responsibility, and.." he looking into her (e/c) eyes, his hand to her cheek, his fingers nestling in the roots of her hair. "So much more to lose."

Her hand covers on his, her lips kiss his palm.

"I love you more than you can imagine, Princess." She blinked in surprise, eyes wide as they stare at each other.

"But I can't love you now."

She flutters her eyes shut, breathing into his hand.

"Then, I will wait."

"Princ—!"

"As long as I have to, for my eternity, my heart will belong to you, and you alone." She takes his hands to her heart. "And when you're ready, you can take it."

A laugh escapes his lips, he stares so lovingly at her, like she's an antique. So beautiful, yet so fragile, unable to be touched.

"You are too much." He smiles.
