🌹 Medieval Klance AU🌹 (hanahaki disease)

L

I'm a strong knight. I've killed hundreds of dragons, and our enemies, they fear me. Both my swordsmanship and archery are more than on point- almost perfect!
I remember, the time I first fought. The time my idol, Takashi Shirogane fought a Machiavellian and saved the country! I was there, in the back of the crowd. I protested alongside him; alongside I mean in hope he'll one day spot me.
Since then, I decided a simple little protest would be good for nothing in my goal.

I trained.

I trained more than you'd believe. I sometimes over pushed myself. Of course, it was hard and I even lost motivation many times.

Then the first Monday of spring, I was given my first command.
"Slay that beast, I'll give you more money than you dreamt of."
Music to my ears...
Then I heard the quest.

The person who requested such a quest was running out of people. The beast had killed many professionals and Shiro was out on a quest. Due to the power of the beast many were deterred- I was even considering declining the offer. I didn't!
I swore to myself that I'd take my first job. I did.

I managed to beat the dragon. My face was sketched on a poster. I had many interviews with people and hundreds of job requests.

Returning from one of my missions, I met a fine lady.
Hair as silver as a clouds glitter, her eyes were the bright sky on a bitter sweet winter morning. Her skin was soft and gentle, suiting her touch. She way she spoke, splendid. A voice I needed to hear millions and millions more.
I never believed at love at first sight, until then.
But then... my beliefs were corrected.

The first day I saw her with Lotor. Lotor was the prince of another town, in which we were once at war with. He wanted to marry into this town to make amendments and bring us together. I've heard of it before, a great example would be Gengis Khan. Pidge talked to me about the Mongolian who conquered China after bringing his people together; man even Hunk was impressed.

Hunk and Pidge? I guess I haven't introduced them just yet. Hunk has been my friend since childhood. We would always play with a bottle or my brand new toy ball. We'd battle with toy swords until we maybe hit each others knuckles or scraped our knees- then we'd simply go home crying to our mummies and daddies. Hunks parents and mine all got along.
Veronica, my sister, would often try to join in with Hunk and I. She was always the one who'd want to play the warrior princess! Of course before I didn't believe in these. Now, I do fantasise about them a lot.

Pidge I met a while later. Hunk and I were in the library getting frustrated with a study, when the short girl (that yes we mistook for a Male) asked for directions. She was clearly new to the area. Turns out her brother and father, Matt and Sam, both fought alongside Shiro. Amazing!

Before we knew it, studying turned into us cracking jokes and laughing until we got a weeks ban from the local library.

Since then, we had many good times.
I remember that one night, Hunk and I had just walked Pidge home. It was about 8 at night in a winters day.
The soft and elegant snow drifted onto the ground, reminding me of the warm bread in the bakery that was powdered. I adored that bakery, it was always so warm and smelt like some blessings from a saint.

"I think I like Pidge" Hunk finally blurted out.
"Really man? You should so tell her! Hey, loverboy Lance will give you some tips." I announced establishing my proudness. Hunk never had a crush before, and I'm almost positive Pidge felt the same way. If Hunk would say something like "that's so smart" or even a simple "well done" she'd blush and stutter. They're like, awkward couple goals!

The next day, he gave her a single rose and a letter. She accepted. I was happy to help them get together... secretly I felt jealous.

Why couldn't I get the attention of lovely Allura?

The days continued the same. I went on missions and hung out with my friends afterwards. The nights at the cafe and the bakery turned to the bar and the path. We'd always have the longest laughs.
One day, Pidge and Hunk were spending the day together and I finished my mission early; can you guess? That was the day I met someone... different.

I mean, I saw him staring at me now and then, and I guess he looked up to me. Little kids would sometimes ask for autographs or say hi, so I never got a chance to enquire about him.

Until that day, I saw him coughing up flowers.
So we had something in common.
A tragic feeling of one sided love.
To the point we coughed up flowers.

So I talked to him... and now, I haven't been the same.

A/N: I'm like
Very sorry I'm inactive.
I've got so much on my plate.. plot twist- I'm using two! I was also a bit stuck on writing so I decided "oh hey a backstory for the two would be lovely." Since I wasn't leading much anywhere and I haven't really introduced many characters. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your read.
