My Beloved King (Izana Kurokawa x Reader)

DECEMBER 18TH, 2002

-"Sweetheart what are you doing ?"

-"Oh Mom ! Which one is prettier ? The blue one or the white one ? Or maybe I should take the pink one ? There's the black one too ! And the red one !"

-"What's happening here ? Your room is a mess !"

-"I'm trying to find something to wear for Christmas Eve !"

-"We're just having dinner with the boys not a big party."

-"But Mom ! I have to be pretty for Christmas Eve !"

-"For Christmas Eve or for someone ?" She asked sitting on my bed.

-"Someone ?"

-"I'm sure you're thinking that much because you want to look pretty for someone."

-"No way ! I'll never dress for someone !"

-"Even if this someone is Izana ?"

-"Yes !"

-"Liar."

-"What ?"

-"You want him to find you pretty."

-"No !"

-"There's no shame in that sweetheart. It's natural. I was like that too."

-"You were ?"

-"Of course ! Even if I've always dressed like I wanted there were always a part that wanted to look good for someone."

-"For Dad ?"

-"Especially for him yes."

-"Do you still feel like that today ?"

-"I do. When I go shopping and see something he might like on me I buy it. But only if I like it too."

-"So I can dress like I want but still want to feel pretty in Izana's eyes ?"

-"Exactly. You can wear something you think he will like but you have to like it too."

-"But Mom why do I want him to think I'm pretty ? I mean we're just friends. I don't want Kaku to think I'm pretty."

-"Because you love Kakucho as a brother. But you love Izana an other way."

-"An other way ?"

-"Yes. You love him more like a lover than a brother."

-"Does that mean that I love Izana more than Kaku ?!"

-"I wouldn't say that. You love them both but not in the same way."

-"Is that bad ?"

-"What ? Love ?"

-"Yes."

-"Do that what Dad and I have is bad ?"

-"Not at all."

-"Right."

-"But except of kissing and hugging sometimes Dad and you always act like friends. Why ?"

-"Because we were friends before being in a relationship. It's not because you love someone that suddenly your relationship have to change. If you love each other it's because the actual relationship you have is what makes you happy. Are you happy when you're with Izana ?"

-"Yes ! I love being with him. But what if he doesn't love me back ?"

-"Didn't you see the way he looks at you ?"

-"How does he look at me ?"

-"Like you're the most precious thing in the world."

-"Nonsense."

-"I assure you he does."

-"Do you think I should tell him ?"

-"Of course you should."

-"But when ?"

-"Why not on Christmas Eve ?"

-"With everyone around ?! No way !"

-"Then find at time when you feel comfortable to tell him. It's up to you."

-"I'll think about it. Thank you Mom !" I said hugging her.

-"You're welcome sweetheart !" She said hugging me back.

-"By the way you didn't answer. Which one is better ?"

-"The white one so you'll let you hair down. You can put the jewelry they gifted you with it."

-"Thanks Mom !"

-"Whoa ! What happened in here ?"

-"(Y/N) was just thinking about what she will wear on Christmas Eve."

-"I see. My little girl wants to be pretty for her lover."

-"Dad !"
