Just another normal day for the not-so-perfect fairy tale characters. Mal started to wake up feeling kisses on her cheek, not that she doesn't like it, but being woken up isn't the best part of her day.
"Hi, good morning."
Her husband said, smiling as soon as he saw her finally open her eyes.
"Good morning." She forces herself awake and turns to him, who is kneeling on the edge of the bed, watching her. The handsome king is already perfectly dressed in his traditional blue suit. "Don't you get tired of blue?"
"I'd ask the same about purple."
He joked, hearing her laugh.
"Why do you wake up so early?"
"It's not that early, Your Majesty."
"Oh no? What time is it?"
She asked, yawning.
"Well, today is Friday and..."
"Oh no, there's a meeting with the Council."
She jumped up to interrupt him.
"Actually, no, it's only Monday."
He got up and chased the woman across the room.
"Ben! Why didn't you tell me before? You scared me."
"You have no idea what day it is, do you?"
He asks, already disappointed.
"There's no board meeting, the paperwork is due on Wednesday." She began to tell him what they were both up to and, seeing the puppy dog look on his face, she got tired of joking and threw herself around his neck. "Just kidding, happy 24th birthday and happy dating anniversary." She gave him a brief kiss. "Do you really think I'd forget? Your birthday might be, but our anniversary? What kind of wife do you think I am?"
"The wife, who's been very busy lately."
He isn't wrong. Mal definitely isn't like a Cinderella, she really liked being in control of Auradon. She likes to know how everything is going and, while Ben takes care of the boring meetings, she takes care of the buildings. She is a good queen, sometimes thinking about how her mother would feel. She isn't evil like Maleficent, but she is a queen, a great queen.
"Seven years ago, you were crowned king and officially asked me to date you, as if it hadn't been for weeks."
"Under a spell doesn't count, and to the sound of Once Upon a Dream you said yes."
He says, remembering it perfectly. The song was chosen by Audrey, and he doesn't even remember being asked to change it. The fact is that they have to dance to Once Upon a Dream.
"Good memory Florian." She kissed him again. "I think we should get ready." She remembered when she noticed that he was already asleep on her chest.
"No, it's my birthday and I want to spend it with you."
He said, kissing her neck.
"You're still King Ben, and I'm pretty sure your mother wants to congratulate you too."
She warned him, even though she enjoyed the kisses.
"Just one more minute, please."
With a lot of effort, or nearly so, the two of them got up for coffee with Belle and Adam.
"My baby is already 24."
Belle said, cuddling her son.
"He's already a married man, I said we had to have two children."
