Tom Holland imagines one shots

a royal annoyance 3

Here is part 3. I struggle a lot to find ideas to write it and it's clearly isn't my fav but I hope you will enjoy it :3

You had ignored Tom for days now. You thought that he would give up his attempts to make you forgive him but he didn't. he had finally realized how annoyed by him you were and he made his best to show you that he wasn't that bad. But you simply ignored his efforts. You had heard that his friends called you the ice queen since you didn't smile to Tom or be particularly gentle with him but you thought that it was unfair. It was okay for everybody when he turned himself into a pain in your life but it wasn't when you decided to not forgive that easily. How ironic. The only people that didn't try to interfere was Tom's family since they knew how he could be. Plus his parents didn't really care if you were best friends or polite acquaintances as long as you would marry him. they thought that it was probably best for you to get along and even fall in love but they were aware that many royal couples didn't love each other and simply share a castle with their partner so they respected your decision to ignore the prince.

You were returning to your room after an official lunch with an ambassador. This latter was nice even if he bored you a bit when he began to name all the mounts and valleys of his natal country. After the lunch he followed the king to the council room to discuss about some war agreement. Tom had to go with them but you weren't allow to come since you weren't officially married you couldn't assist to any councils in case you would spy for your parents and then break the alliance. This fear used to annoy you because you couldn't play a role in that country to make it evolve and progress but today you gladly went to your apartment. You hadn't slept properly the night before cause of the thunder and the blaring sound of rain against your window. A nap would be welcomed, and this calm afternoon was a great opportunity, you had to wake up a 4pm for the tea.

You pushed the door of your bedroom and were about to jump in your bed when you noticed another gift on your pillow. You sighed a bit wondering why he was so stubborn. Of course his attentions were kind but it wouldn't change a thing. No flowers or chocolates or clothes or books even your favorites were enough that wasn't what you wanted. You didn't want material gifts you could perfectly buy them for yourself, you just wanted him to respect you. you took the gift and walked to Tom's room. You quietly dropped it to his velvet armchair and made your way back to your room to take the nap you deserved. You knew that you should ask a servant to wake you up for the tea however you were too tired to stand up and look for one.

You were having a weird dream in which Tom had a wig, was wearing a sexy and feminine black outfit and dancing to a pop tune when you felt someone brush fingers against your face and called gently your name. you were slowly waking up and you rubbed your eyes. You rose your eyebrow in surprise when you noticed Tom sitting next to you. he approached his hand to your face but eventually dropped it. as he remained silent you decided to ask him what he was doing there. he rubbed his neck in awkwardness and smiled nicely at you before saying:

"Mum told me to look for you since you didn't show up for the tea."

Your eyes grew wide when you looked at the clock and realized that you were late and not a little. Tom chuckled at your expression and he added with a soft voice:

"Don't worry Y/N everybody noticed that you were tired and everybody needs some sleep sometimes. Dad and mum distracted so much the ambassador that he didn't even realize that you were absent."

You frowned a bit when those words left his mouth feeling a bit hurt. You were a royalty destined to reign and your charisma was so fragile that an ambassador didn't even observe your absence. It hurt a bit, you felt a bit invisible and like you wouldn't be a good queen. Tom saw your change of behavior and he grabbed softly your hand and squeezed it. his smile grew into smirk when he questioned cockily:

"What were you dreaming about? About me?"

You froze and suddenly the floor seemed much more interesting than Tom. You hoped that bending your face would hide your crimson cheeks but you guessed that it didn't when he stated:

"I didn't think you would dream about me but it seemed logic to me. after all we are often together so no need to be ashamed you know I dream about you almost every night. Don't look at me like that Y/N it's true. Even if you doubt I do care about you a lot, a lot more than what you think. I am truly happy to have you for wife and I hope that you aren't to disappoint to have me as a husband because I already told you but I care for you. it hurt to see you ignoring me but I guess that I can't force you to like me, can I?" he muttered certainly more for himself than for you.

"I am happy to have you for husband." You replied instantly without even thinking. He looked at you surprised and you quickly added "I mean it, I could wed someone worse a violent boor, an unfaithful or manipulative pig so I am glad to have you but I don't understand you. you pretend that you care about me however all you do is taking me for a foul and upset me. I don't really understand your logic Tom."

He nodded at your words and decided to explain himself: "You came here with the idea that I was an immature spoiled child and you never saw me as something more, as what I truly am. You never pay attention to me except when I was annoying you so I guess that I just wanted you to pay attention to me, to who I am. I am sorry that it bothered you so much."

You felt so bad when he said that, you weren't to publicly admit it but he was so right. You never gave him a chance, you catalogued him and never tried to know him to change your opinion that was everything you were fighting against. As you hadn't pronounced for few minutes, cursing yourself for being so stupid, selfish and everything you hated, he stood up ready to leave you alone. You quickly grabbed his wrist and bit your lips nervously. You eventually managed to say: "I'm sorry Tom I misjudged you and never gave you any chance, I am deeply sorry and I swear I will do some effort from now."

He smiled widely at you and he looked very cute. He took your hand in his, kissed your knuckles and genuinely replied "I hope you will my dear and I promise that I won't annoy you again. Now we should go to tea or else mum will ask too much awkward questions that we really don't want to hear."
