Maven Calore X Reader One Shots

Songfic: Samson

(THIS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD SMH I'M CRYING BRO)

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first

Samson hated how close you were to Maven. He hated the way you paid attention to him, not you. Samson has always thought of himself as evil, feeling nothing towards anybody. But that's wrong. You are the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. He's happy you were the one he had to marry. He wishes you feel the same way he does about you.

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth

Samson reads all the letters Maven sends you. He finds them absolutely disgusting. He could write so much better. Why do you even bother reading these? Why do you fall into the arms of the mentally broken king? Why can't you just enjoy Samson instead of his cousin?

I have to go, I have to go

You leave every night. You go to Maven's room to sleep with him. Samson has to sleep alone every night. He can faintly hear your thoughts, even from his room. As inappropriate as they may be, they help him sleep. Your voice is all he needs to be human.

Your hair was long when we first met

Samson can never forget the first time you saw Maven. You sat next to Samson during the Queenstrial, sporting the same navy blue and white colors House Merandus had, even when you weren't truly a Merandus.

You watched the entire show with Samson's hand in yours, giving a smile when Mare showed off her powers. You are a House Eagrie, an eye. You knew this was going to happen. You found it amusing. The one thing you were also ready for, was Evangeline becoming queen. But you didn't guess that Mare would become a princess.

That's when you first saw Maven, with Mare by his side. You couldn't stop staring at him. Samson saw everything.

Samson went back to bed

He hates thinking about Maven. He hates thinking about you. He wishes he can just delete your feelings for Maven but he doesn't want to break you. He wishes you'll just sleep in the same room as him for once.

And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us

In the morning, Samson always wakes up to you getting dressed. You'd smile at him. A sad smile. Samson tries to ignore you, he tries getting dressed on his own. But you're always there to buckle his belt and loosen his collar. It's a routine how you kiss him lightly before leaving. Samson notices how you don't taste the same.

Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads

You remember when things were fine between you and Samson. You've always had feelings for him. But Maven... Maven is different. You feel at home when Maven has his arms around you. It's different than you feel with Samson. It's so... different.

You feel bad for Samson, of course. You know how much he loves you. But you just don't feel the same way.

Samson came to my bed

The next night, you didn't sleep with Maven. You decided to sleep with Samson. He stared at you with his bright blue eyes, Maven's eyes. And you slept on his chest. 

This is for how nice he is to you; a gift. You know that Maven is the one you want, but Samson can be your second.

Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed

Having both boys in your life is a good thing, right? You can't just choose one. Samson can't give you up, and you can't give Maven up. It's a hard decision that you hope you'll never be forced to make. But the love and attention from both parties are all you need to truly be happy with yourself.
