(young) Sendak x Reader {Temporarily On Hold}

A discussion of feelings

After Sendak and (Y/n) returned to the palace after their trip to the hot springs everything returned to normal; they still really liked each other and they hadn't given up on hoping to become a romantic couple someday, so they decided to seek out a little advice. As soon as (Y/n) and Kumo were alone together (Y/n) told her every detail, except she only briefly mentioned the fact that she'd accidentally touched Sendak's dick, and Kumo recommended that she should ask Zarkon for relationship advice. She was a little nervous about asking Zarkon for romantic advice because she knew about Honerva, the last thing she wanted was to accidentally upset him. However, when she voiced her concern to Kumo she assured her that it would be fine and he wouldn't get too sad. A couple of months prior Lotor had gone back to Altea to continue his studies there; he went back right before mating season on Daibazaal began since Zarkon didn't want him witnessing anything inappropriate, although he would eventually come back to visit.

A few years had passed since Honerva passed away and Zarkon had finished with the grieving process, but he still missed her really badly and he still thought about her. By that point he was comfortable with talking about them when she was alive and he looked back on those memories fondly. While he was looking over some paperwork in his private office (Y/n) decided to talk to him since he was almost done and Sendak was busy elsewhere, giving her and Zarkon the privacy she needed. She sat on the chair in the corner of the room and waited patiently, watching as he signed something. Zarkon didn't notice (Y/n) until he finished signing the document on his desk and he looked up; her presence was a little surprising, but he didn't mind her being there.

“If it's alright, I need some relationship a-advice.” (Y/n) spoke hesitantly, feeling shy and a little embarrassed all of a sudden; she really wanted to be Sendak's significant other, although she came to the conclusion that she needed a little help.

“I don't mind. Tell me, what do you need to know?” Zarkon answered, fully prepared to put the young woman on the right path to romance.

(Y/n) took a deep breath before she explained everything to him, only she vaguely described the incident at the hot springs without directly telling him that she accidentally touched Sendak's dick. She also voiced her concern of how she wasn't sure if Sendak could ever reciprocate her feelings and how she was scared that if she confessed to him first then he would hate her. Zarkon listened to everything (Y/n) told him and thought about what advice he would give her; things between him and Honerva had a awkward start because he'd been afraid to tell her how he felt about her, he could barely speak when they'd first met, although after they really got to know each other things naturally went smoothly for them. Getting past that awkward start was the most difficult part for any couple, but with a lot of effort it could be overcome. Zarkon told (Y/n) about the usual courtship methods among his people and how relationships usually began; neither of her parents were there which meant Sendak couldn't have a ceremonial duel with either of them, so he would most likely begin with one of the next steps.

“So then if Sendak likes me he'll be extra affectionate or leave gifts in front of my door?” (Y/n) inquired, a little confused since she wasn't too familiar with how galra did romantic relationships.

“He might, or he might just take you somewhere private and simply tell you whether or not he wants to have you as his significant other. I've known Sendak for a while now and I believe he might do the latter, and he might have a gift for you when he does so. All you can do for now is wait to see what he does and keep being his friend. It might help if you're a little more affectionate with him, it would let Sendak know you're interested without directly telling him.” Zarkon answered calmly; he didn't know what Sendak would do when he told (Y/n) that he wanted to be with her for the rest of eternity, but he gave her his best advice in hopes it would work.
