Wilting [Wilbur x Reader]

"How have the treatments gone?" A males voice asked as he entered the second princes study, "You seem better."

"I don't feel much different." Another one said, "But she swears it's working. I have another appointment soon."

"She? Are you alright, Will?"

"I'm fine Tommy, I don't feel anything towards her." Will said with a smile, "How goes your studies?"

"I hate them," Tommy sits on one of his couches, "Father really expects me to learn all these enchantments."

"You know they're the most basic ones correct?" Wilbur asked with a chuckle, "You have it easy as of right now. I also heard you're only currently learning of Mending and Vanishing. They only have one enchantment limit. Others can go as high as five."

"Five?! I'm never going to be able to learn those!"

"Not if you spend all your time in my office. You're right." Will checks the time and gets up, "So go back to your lessons. I have to go to my appointment now."

"Take me with you." Tommy pleads.

"No way, I can't do that." Will puts his coat on and leaves his office. Tommy runs after him.

"Come on! I promise I won't get in the way!"

"Absolutely not. She doesn't see more then one person at a time." Will sighs. He promised he wouldn't take anyone else to her home. She already has a hard time trusting outsiders.

"Tsk, fine." Tommy leaves and Will sighs. He walks out to the stables and grabs his horse.

"Let's get going, Friend, we mustn't keep her waiting."

Will rode for about a hour before making it to the Aeryn Forest. That wasn't her name but that's what she told the people. Saying if they knew her real name then it would cause problems. If she were ever found out she says she would have to leave again. Change her name again. Start over.

Wilbur tied his horse to a tree branch and walked in to the forest. It's hard to walk through on horse. It's much easier to go on foot. She lives in the center of the forest.

"Prince Wilbur?" A girl called out and he looked up into a tree, "You're early."

"Y/N," he watched as she started to quickly climb down, "You don't have to..."

"It's ok, you're my patiENT!" She slipped and fell from the tree. But Will caught her. She laughed and looked up at him, "My hero."

"Tsk, I told you to be careful already. How are you good at taking care of others but not yourself?" He asked as he gently set her down.

"I feel like you forget that I can save myself." Y/N said as she smiled and started floating next to him, "But I appreciate you helping me. It kept my basket from spilling." She held up a closed basket in front of her, "This is for today's lunch."

"You're a disaster," he pinched his nose and shook his head, "It's a wonder how you survived this long by yourself. Honestly."

"If you don't want lunch then you can just say so," Y/N pouts as they make it to her house, "You don't have to be so rude about it."

"Ah.." Wilbur scratches his chin and looks away, "I wasn't saying that."

"Then go out to my garden on the side of the house. Pick some Cinder Caepas. Like I said, you're early today. I was gonna have it done in time for our session." Y/N said as she walked inside and grabbed another basket. She handed it to Will and smiled, "Have fun. They're a little feisty today."
