Royal or Loyal? [A garmau AU] ✔️

Meteli [10]

Three months later...

"Garroth where are you taking me?" Aphmau asked, Garroth leading her somewhere with her eyes covered.

They've been spending an unreasonably long time together in the past three months.  The prince was always going on 'trips' be Aphmau was always going on 'missions'.  It was really anything just to spend time with one another.

"You'll see. Be patient, love." He cooed, carelessly leading her to a certain spot.

They were in Meteli, just to go.  For shits and giggles.  Aphmau is usually always free and Garroth told his father it was for soon to be lord preparations.

But they were having fun. 

Maybe a little too much fun.

Garroth got in touch with his good friend, Luarnace and he introduced Aphmau to him.

Laurance is a huge flirt.  He hit on Aphmau and she almost broke his arm, while Garroth sat back and laughed.  He told him it was from being a fugitive for so long, she's picked up a few things.

Of course, Aphmau being Aphmau, she said sorry and they had become friends.

Garroth took her to a place that was mostly private and where they could see the view nicely.

"Garroth, can you please let me see now?" Aphmau groaned, growing impatient.

"Okay." He said lifting his hands up from her eyes.

Aphmau gaped at the beautiful view.  "This is breathtaking." She finally said.

"Yeah."

"Why did you take me up here?" She asked. 

Garroth shrugged.  "I wanted you to see the beautiful, non fucked up part of the world.  Plus, I wanted to ask you something." He smiled.

Aphmau's heart started to race and her hands for clammy.

"W-What did you want to ask me?" She asked, her cheeks flushing red.

"Wow.  It took me three months to make you stutter.  I suck." He playfully scoffed.

"Well, anyways, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to you know, be my girlfriend?" He asked, his voice low.

Aphmau's breath hitched before she could steady it.

Her stomach erupted with butterflies.  She doesn't know what to do.

She's helplessly falling for the handsome, charming and smoldering prince.

"But Garroth–"

"Aphmau I don't give two shits that you're the most wanted fugitive.  I understand you'll be away and I get that.  But I like you and I want you and only you and I don't want anybody else to have you.  So I'm going to ask agin, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, huskiness around his voice.

"Yeah." She smiles nodding her head.

"Great." He whispered, brushing his lips onto hers, teasing her.

Their lips collided, Aphamu smiling against it.

"Oh my Irene, get a room, you nasty ass–"

Aphamu shot a glare at Laurnace before he sat up and smiled awkwardly.

"Sooo, what did I miss?" He asked.

"Nothing much." I shrugged, shooting a look at Garroth, smiling.

"Do you want to head back?" Garroth asked looking at Aphmau, while she was getting lost in his eyes.

"Yeah."

"Damn Aphamu you got a nice as–"

"Uh, Laurance, she's kinda uh, taken." Garroth stated pulling her closer to him, his arm snaking around her waist.

"So that's what I missed." He smirked at Garroth, giving him a ridiculous look.

Aphmau nodded.

"Garroth you lucky asshole!" Laurnace shouted, following behind us.

"I think it's more than just lucky."

•••

Laurance's sword collided with Aphamu's.  He was dripping sweat while Aphamu was barley getting a workout.

They returned back to their positions, Laurnace taking his green broadsword as Aphamu held her mithril one in her hand.

"You're one of he best—people that I've ever—sparred with." He said in between breaths.

She started to laugh as she parried one of his attacks.

"Thank you."

She rose her sword, still keeping the parry, making him drop his and fall to the floor.

She rose his sword to his neck.

"I think I win." She said

"I agree." Garroth said from afar.

Laurnace huffed.

Aphmau held out her hand as she helped Laurance up.

Garroth placed a kiss on Aphmau's forehead, smiling and building her back to where they were staying, saying farewell to thief friend.

Little did he know that his little brother was sent to spy on him the entire time.
