Sweet Silence [Daniela x Female!Reader] [COMPLETE]

45

'Daniela Dimitrescu, my wife. It does have a great ring to it. I can't wait to make it real.'

Spring

"[Y/N]!" Hunter sang as she waltzed into the kitchen. "Great news!"

I tilted my head before focusing on the sweets I was baking. 'Great news? Does she mean news about the wedding?'

"Queen Persephone has said it's nearly Spring! She finished packing her last bag," The witch hummed and stood next to me, leaning against the counter. "Which means you can have your wedding whenever you and Dani are ready! That will mark the first day of Spring, and the queen will wait a day or two before leaving the Underworld — give everyone time to be happy before she has to leave."

I nearly dropped the icing bag onto the cookies, my heart racing as I tried to fight back a smile. 'We can get married tomorrow when it's warm. Is that why Isa mentioned the temperature for tomorrow?'

"...[Y/N]?" I shook my head at the worry in Hunter's voice, sending her a smile to help her relax.

"S-sorry! I was just- I was just thinking about..."

"Marrying Dani?"

"Ye-yeah."

Hunter giggled and toyed with the necklace Bela recently gave her. "I know the feeling. Bela talks about our wedding every day, and I can't help but feel terrified and excited. Yours is a lot closer than ours, though, so your nerves are-."

"Everywhere," I giggled before focusing on the cookies again. "Has Dani heard the news yet?"

"No, she joined Lady Dimitrescu today. Helping Costin with his speech."

I hummed and set a few cookies onto a plate. "Then they've been teaching for a while, and knowing Costin, he'll get frustrated soon."

"So you made sugar cookies with icing," Hunter chuckled, shaking her head. "His favorite."

"Well, he is five. And his birthday's next month."

"So is mine!" Hunter pouted. "Where's my favorite sweet?"

"You never told me it," I shrugged with a giggle.

"Flaouna. Ask Isa for the recipe, but don't tell Bela. I'll never hear the end of it."

"Oh?"

Hunter's cheeks turned red as she looked away. "I... Might have told her I don't miss the dessert my Mother used to make me whenever she wanted to cheer me up."

"Wh-why did you d-do that?" I laughed, for once not caring about my stutter.

"I-I don't know! I guess it's because I knew she'd ask my Mother how she makes it? I know Bela; she'd ask my Mother how she makes it so she can try and make it as close to my Mother's as possible."

"...Isn't that a good thing?"

"It is!" Hunter groaned. "But I don't want Bela to make it the way my Mother does. I want her to make it her own way. So, you can tell her the recipe and to make it for me, but don't tell her why."

"Your secret's safe with me."

After that, Hunter joined me in walking to the library, where the ladies took Costin for his lesson. I thanked Hunter when she opened the door for me, the two of us quietly entering the library to not disturb the three. Daniela read a sentence to Costin before asking him to read it too, bringing a smile to my face at the interaction. Costin slowly read the sentence, only fumbling over two words, before looking to Daniela for confirmation.

'Adorable,' I sighed happily at the scene of Daniela congratulating Costin and hugging him, making my heart fill with warmth. 'Is there anything that won't make me fall in love with her all over again?' Hunter stifled a giggle before guiding me toward the couch, gaining the attention of the vampires and her son. Costin nearly threw the book down when he saw his Mother, hopping off the couch and running to hug her. I giggled at his excited rambling, noticing how often he stuttered. 'He stutters more when he's excited. Isa's the same, according to the stories Cassandra's told. Is that why everyone was so patient with me? Because they had experience? Either way, it makes me happy.'

I set the cookies on the table and pecked Daniela's lips, earning a purr from the vampire. The Lady smiled at the interaction before grabbing a cookie, and writing something in a journal as she ate it. 'Does she record every lesson? How sweet!' I smiled and gave Daniela a cookie, taking a seat beside her as she ate it. My hand took hers, interlocking our fingers as I placed another kiss on her cheek.

"I have news," I traced on her arm, gaining her full attention. "We can get married tomorrow."

Daniela's eyes widened before a smile spread across her face. "Hunter, is it true?! I can marry my Love tomorrow?"

"You can," Hunter giggled. "Lady Beneviento finished Costin's suit yesterday, and Queen Persephone finished packing her last bag. Spring will start when you two get married."

The vampire purred and picked me up, twirling us before setting me down with a kiss. "I can't wait to make you my wife."

"I can't wait to be your wife," I smiled and wrapped my arms around her neck.

"That's all for today's lesson," Lady Dimitrescu hummed with a smile. "So you can join your fiance for the rest of the day. Especially if you want to continue with not seeing [Y/N] tomorrow until she's walking down the aisle. Or vice versa."

"...I don't think I can handle that," Daniela pouted and squeezed my hips. "What about you?"

I shook my head and rested it against her shoulder. "No. I need my emotional support flies."

Daniela laughed, and everyone sat down for cookies again, with Costin trying to read the book to his Mother. I leaned into Daniela with a smile, watching Costin's finger drag across every word as he spoke. 'I wonder if he's been told he'll carry out our rings,' I smiled at the thought. 'Well, we'll make sure tomorrow before the wedding. If he doesn't know, he'll probably be very happy when he finds out.' When my break ended, I stood and stretched, catching Daniela's attention immediately.

I said goodbye to the three on the couch when Daniela stood with me, kissing Costin's head before leaving with the vampire. Daniela took my hand as we walked to the kitchen, letting me happily swing our arms. The vampire giggled at my action, stopping us a few feet from the kitchen. I faced her with a raised eyebrow, squeaking when she pulled me against her body and stole a kiss.

"Tomorrow, I make you Mrs. [Y/N] Dimitrescu."
