belle of the ball

chapter eleven

⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: KISSING, SLIGHT 🍋 ⚠️

today is the day, i was going to confess my true feelings to him. the man who was there for me when i was all alone in the ball room, the one who ran away with me. the one who defended me against toji. megumi was the one for me and we all knew it. especially me.

i'm currently in the library, i had snuck off earlier this morning. toji and i were still sleeping in the same bed thought i hated it. thank goodness we barley spoke, things between us weren't exactly picture perfect like it was supposed to be... but honestly i didn't feel disappointed about the things ended up with toji, ơn the other hand things were great with megumi and that's all that matters to me even though it took me a while to realize it, it's all falling into place for me.

i'm finishing up my book, pride and prejudice wasn't as interesting as i hoped it would be but megumi adored this book. so i pushed through to finish it. the doors are creaking open i know who it is thats entering the room my lips curl up into a smile, megumis making his way over to me and when he's in front of me he bends down his hands on the top of my head lips pressing on my forehead.

"good morning princess, enjoying the book?"

"hmm.. it's alright, i can see why you like it, it fits you megumi!"

"hmm.. i see. have you been awake long?"

"i've been up for about an hour now, i wanted to finish the book today."

megumi doesn't reply to me, he instead sits down beside me and rest his head onto my shoulder he's reading silently with me. we sit soaking up the tranquility we stay like this until the sun in all the way up in the bright blue sky. he stands up before reaching his hand out to me.

"cmon princess! you've been reading long enough you can finish the book later ..and i've prepared a picnic for us!"

"oh! that's so- how sweet of you, thank you megumi!"

i reach for his hand and he lifts me up, he places a soft kiss on my lips before leading me out onto the balcony there i see a blanket along with various platters of food i stand there in shock. i can't believe he would do this for me! my god.. this was perfect! i could tell him here.. it's going to be amazing.

i'm in shock, i cant mutter a single word megumis arms wrap around my waist, caressing me slowly as he places a kiss on my cheek.

"do you like it?"

"..i- i love it! and.. i.. i love you."

"wait.. what?! you love me? princess.. please say that again!"

"i love you..?"

megumis chuckling behind me squeezing me tighter than he ever has before. he's kissing my cheek repeatedly, he's telling me how much he loves me over and over again. we stand there enjoying the moment the sun seems to be shiny even brighter than it was the day before. megumi loves me, me! everything is just so perfect nothing is going to break our bond.

"you know i'm choosing you right..? i want to be yours megumi. please, let me be yours."

"oh princess.. you've been mine since the beginning."

he whispers before turning me around, kissing me. he holds me his touch is tender and sweet. it makes me blush with how gentle he is. i adore it, he pulls away and i'm already missing the feeling of his lips on mine. his hand reaches to the small of my back he leads me to the blanket i sit down on the eating a few grapes before motioning for megumi to join in with me.
he comes over to me stroking my hair and admiring me as i ate. i pick off the biggest grape on the vine before bringing it up to his lips. he looks down at me.

"...shouldn't i be feeding you instead?"

"shh.. just enjoy it!"

i whine at megumi when he won't eat the grape i'm trying to feed him. he slowly leans in toward my hand eating the grape, he chews it painfully slow he's making sure i can enjoy every second of it.

"..don't be a big tease!"

"oh cmon princess.. don't be like that. i'm just having a bit of fun!"

we spend our day together eating and just being us.. there was nothing i wanted to change about this moment.
i try to feed megumi another grape again, but this time he's trying to move even slower. i feel hot all over my face is flushed and it only seemed to redden with each passing second.

"you know megumi.. since we've- well.. i don't know what to call it but we love eachother. and uhm.. shouldn't it call for.. celebration?"

"i couldn't agree more.."

megumi quickly swallows the grape and leans in holding onto my face. he kisses me gently but before i know it he's on top of me pinning me to the blanket. his kisses are rough and he doesnt care if we're messing up the spread he probably worked so hard on. the wind is blowing it pushes my hair onto my face it makes it harder to kiss megumi. and so i pull my face away from him earning a small grunt.

"megumi, let's go inside."
