Male!Reader x Fem! Arthur Pendragon Cinderella Story

Chapter 4

Arthur's POV

It has been a month since the ball occurred and the fact that I'm chosen to be married to (y/n). Unlike those times back at home when my stepfather and his sons did horrible things to me. That's not my only fear I have. I have another fear, a fear of thunder. Whenever I hear lighting, I tend to get scared and started shaking uncontrollably. Sometimes I faint whenever I'm alone or with someone else at home. I never showed this fear to (y/n), pretending to be normal as he doesn't know about this. But one rainy day, the king, (y/n), and I were eating breakfast at the dining table when the king mentioned about a storm coming here. I froze when his majesty mentions the storm as I started to shake a lot. Both (y/n) and his majesty noticed me and asked what's wrong. I told them that I'm okay and that I'm just a bit dizzy as the two looked at each other and his majesty told me to rest. I nodded as I was almost done with breakfast and being escorted to (y/n)'s bedroom. I arrived in his bedroom after a few minutes and got on the bed to get some rest. As I was about to get on the bed, a boom of thunder was heard as my body start shaking uncontrollably, stopping me from getting on the bed. No one was here as I was the only person in the room as tears were falling off my face. I was about to cry when I heard the door open and I had to wipe out the tears to see who it was.

(y/n): *walks in* Thank you

Rose: No problem, your highness *closed the door behind her*

(y/n): *looked at Arthur* Arthur? I thought you needed some rest

Arthur: Well...... *heards the thunder* *kneels down as she was covering her ears*

(y/n): Arthur!? *felt her body shaking and widen his eyes* Arthur tell me what's wrong. What are you afraid of?

Arthur: *looked up at the prince in tears*

(y/n): *was worried when he heard the thunder, seeing her shake more* Are you......afraid of the thunder outside?

Arthur: *nods* I- *hears the thunder again* *quietly whimpers*

(y/n): *felt bad for the princess so he hoist her onto the bed and walked to the windows and closed all of them* *closed all of the curtains and walked back to her*

Arthur: (y-y/n)? *was pulled into a hug and blushed*

(y/n): Don't be scared. I'm here. Don't worry. Why didn't you tell me about this?

Arthur: Well... *hears the thunder and shivered* Because I...... don't want you to feel worry about me so- *hears a loud thunder* *stuffed her face onto (y/n)'s shoulder* I endured this fear by myself......*tears forming on her face*

(y/n): *noticed the tears and slowly wipe them off the princess's face* Arthur, it's okay. I'm here. *wiping more tears off her face*

Arthur: *felt warm hands on her waist and started to relax* I'm.........started to get sleepy and a little bit dizzy, (y/n)

(y/n): Rest *touched her forehead with his* A slight fever. I'll get Rose and tell her to get a towel, a bucket of warm water and medicine to drink. Give me a minute and I'll come back to you

Arthur: Ah...... okay

(y/n) carried me as he took the corner of the blanket out and set me down onto the mattress and draped the blanket over my body. Then he walked out to the door and called Rose as I was trying to go to sleep when the thunder boom. I started shaking uncontrollably again as (y/n) rushes up to me and comforted me as I looked at him in tears again. He wiped them off my face and told me to close my eyes. I slowly nodded as I slowly closed my eyes and slowly drift off to sleep as I felt something warm on my hand, not knowing what it is as I continued drifting off to sleep while the storm still goes on.
