When two fates become one (Male Merida x reader)

13. Closer and closer

Maverick sighed. "Mend the bond..." he held the split in the tapestry into his hand.

"I will ride, I will fly, cause the wind and touch the sky...!"
Y/N sang softly, standing up by the door as she leaned her head against it, Maverick was forcing her to sing so she wouldn't fall asleep. And so that he could hear her, so that he knew she was still lucid.

She trailed off, making Maverick scold her. "Don't stop Y/N!"

Y/N sighed frustratedly. "Where the dark woods hide secrets... deep waters hold reflections of times lost.. long ago."

He wasn't picky if she wasn't singing in the correct order, just as long as she was till up.
"Bend the bond! Stitch it up!" Maverick chirped like it was nothing. "That'll change you back!"

"Be as strong as the seas are stormy
And proud as an eagle's scream. La la LAAA." Y/N then said boredly.
"Let me just close my eyes for a bit, they're heavy."

"No." Maverick ordered as he paced around the room. "
"Needle and thread... where can we find that."

"But it doesn't matter if I sleep!" Y/N whined. "If you mend it by sunset I'll be fineeee."

"I don't care. Keeping singing."

"La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaaaaaa."
Y/N began thinking, and she wasn't so sure anymore if Maverick returned the feelings she had for him.

Maybe he just meant if he had to marry a girl, he'd rather it be her since they're so close. Not because he had a crush on her or anything. Maybe Y/N had initially read too much into it.
"La.... La.... La"

So, deciding to play it safe Y/N wouldn't ever confess her feelings. Just in case.

Elinor had moved towards a wooden box, opening it for some needle and thread before she became very intrigued with the bowl of apples that had been sitting-on top of it.

"Y/NNN" Maverick dragged out in a sing song voice. "Don't stop singing."

But when Y/N didn't start la la la La-ing, he whirled around to see her slouched against the wall, her knees slowly sinking to sit on the floor.
"No no no!" Maverick hissed, rushing towards her and gently slapping her cheek as he pulled her into his lap. "Wake up!"

But Y/N didn't, she just grunted at him angrily, making Maverick scream lightly in frustration.

"Wait.. mum!
If Y/N was losing it, his mum probably was too.

So once he turned around and got up, (leaving Y/N to lay against the floor) he saw that his mother was sniffing the apples, toppling over the bowl as the apples rolled over the floor.
"Mum?! Ugh not now!" He complained.

At least Y/N would just stay in the same spot. His mother could actually wonder off.

"Pleaseee not now!"
The bear went over to sniff Maverick, Maverick stroked her snout. "Mum!"

Maverick gasped as he head his dad walking down the corridor, singing a happy tune.
He quickly shushed his mum and clamped her mouth shut.

He ran to the tapestry and quickly tore it off the wall.

"Elinor dear! You'll never guess who just solved our little suitor problem!" Fergus called as he made his way to their bedroom.
