Mon Rayon De Soleil - Lafayette x Reader

Anon Request: "Could you make a Lafayette one where they are courting and he has to leave her to go fight and he stops writing and she's hurting because she doesn't know if he's alive but he returns and explains why no letters came. Thanks!"

Of course, my anon! Sorry for the wait! Here you go~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Marquis?" You asked your boyfriend, most called him Lafayette, he currently had his arms wrapped around you in a hug.

"Yes, mon rayon de soleil? (My sunshine)" He responded with a singsong voice.

"How long will you be gone?" You looked up at your lover in his deep brown eyes.

"My dear (Y/N), I don't wish to leave you, but I must fight for this country. I do not know how long I will be away, but I promise mon rayon de soleil (my sunshine) that I will come back alive." He kissed you on the forehead and you smiled at him.

The next day, he left to fight. You began writing your first letter.

My dearest, Marquis

I've already started missing you, I pray that you survive, I wish to see you again. I know this is only the beginning of the fight, I have a long while to wait before I will ever see you. I promise you that I won't worry myself sick, I know that you always worry over my health.

I patiently await your return, mon amour. (My love)
Love,
(Y/N)

He replied to your letters once or twice, but after you sent the third letter, no reply. When you went to mail your fourth letter, the messenger wasn't at his post, it was very peculiar. Because he wasn't there, you couldn't send your letters, which made you worry for boyfriend's well being.

Unfortunately, during his absence, you did worry yourself sick. You felt bad that you broke the promise in the first letter, but that didn't matter. Your health was of the utmost importance.

After months and months of war, your love returned.

You heard a knock at the door, and proceeded to open it. Lafayette smiled.

"Mon rayon de soleil (my sunshine), I missed you." He said, holding you tightly.

"I missed you too, mon amour." You kissed him passionately, to which he melted into.

After the long embrace, you spoke with each other.

"Marquis? I sent the letters, but received no response. What happened?" You looked at him with confusion in your eyes.

"Our messenger was abducted and killed by the British. We didn't find out till the last fight." He replied.

"I was so worried.. do you remember my promise to you in the first letter?" You had to be honest with him.

"Where you said you wouldn't fall ill?" He asked.

"Yes.. I broke the promise.." You lowered your head in shame, but you looked back up from the laughter of your boyfriend.

"(Y/N)! I do not care if you fell ill, as long as your alive, I'm happy." He pulled you into a hug.

"I'm happy that you're alive, that's all that matters." You said, melting in his embrace.

"Oui. We're both lucky to be alive right now, mon rayon de soleil (my sunshine)."
