Kit Tanthalos x Reader

"So, umm, what do you think about all this?" You ask as you try and make conversation, now that you were close to Kit, it was a lot harder to think. "Well it's not ideal..." You grimace and nod your head at her words, not surprised. "But I thought we were supposed to get married tomorrow? Where did this 6 moons thing come from?" You shift nervously as she stares at you intently, like she trying to read your mind. "Well I figured if we were both forced into this marriage, it would be better to get to know one another first." You say with a small shrug. "Wow, I'm actually surprised my mother would agree to that." Kit says as she turns her head to look at her mother, who was standing with your dad, who were both staring at the two of you. "Yes well, it was the least I could do." Kit turns back to you with a little confusion in her eyes. "What do you mean?" "Well I just meant with Jade being enlisted into the Paladins, I wouldn't want her to just disappear over night from you. Besides this way we could get to know each other before being stuck together for the rest of our lives."

Kit barely hears the last sentence that leaves your lips. Jade's leaving Tir Asleen? Jade's leaving her? You can see the wheels in Kit's head turning. "Shit, she hasn't told you yet has she? Me and my big mouth... Don't worry though, she would return to be our personal knight once she finished her training." You try to alleviate her fears or whatever else was running through her head. But you could tell that the damage was done. "If you'll excuse me." Kit says but she gives you no time to response as she stomps off towards Jade, who you give an apologetic look as Kit starts to yell at her and make a scene.

Kit had not talked to you since the night of the feast. You had tried everything you could to get her attention but nothing seemed to work. So you stuck to yourself and either ended up at the stables or training with the knights, who would let you win. Today seemed like another day of isolation but you saw Jade and Kit heading out of the kingdom and you decided to follow. Maybe you should have said something, let them know you were following but Kit probably would have made you stay in the kingdom or decided not to go where ever they were going, so you followed them from a distance. There was a few hiccups here and there, where you would step on a twig or accidentally kick a rock but you always managed to hit the ground in time so they wouldn't see you.

Well, except this time. You dropped to the ground as fast as you could, heart hammering in your chest as you mentally cursed at yourself. You parents would be very disappointed in your stealth skill right now. You wait a couple seconds and when you don't hear anything you begin to slowly rise. "Who are you and why are you following us?" You hear Jade say with her very distinct accent, a blade pressed to the center of your back. "I was just wondering where you guys were going." You say with an even voice as you feel Jade take the blade away from your back. "Oh, princess, my apologies." She says as she offers you a hand up as you turn over. "It's fine, I clearly need to brush up on my stealth." You tell her as you give her a smile and dust yourself off. "What are you following us?" Kit asks, anger clear in her voice, as she glares at you. Arms crossed, unconsciously flexing her biceps, it was kind of hot. You shook yourself out of your stupor. "I just wanted to know where you guys were going."

"And you couldn't have just asked." Kit says accusatorily, getting in your face. "Kit-" Jade goes to stop her but you hold your hand up. "And what? You would have let me join you? Let me follow along? Pretend to at least tolerate my company?" You retort and get close enough to Kit that your noses are touching. "I begged my father and your mother for at least a chance to get to know you before we were both bound by marriage. Jyranthi don't beg, that is something that has been ingrained in my head since I was born. I lost some of my dignity fighting for 6 moons to get to know you and for what? The cold shoulder?" Kit doesn't respond and you decidedly ignore the way her eyes flick down to your lips and back up and how it made you feel. You let out a deep breath as you back away. "Never mind, this was clearly a mistake. If either of you need me I will be in the stables. Again. Like I have been for the past 2 moons." You shoot Jade a friendly smile as you walk away from the two and back to the Tir Asleen. Missing the clear slap on the back of the head Jade gives Kit and the forehead slap she gives to herself.

You wish you could say much has changed since your argument with the other princess, but that would be a lie. Other than the times Queen Sorsha forces Kit to take you to train with Jade and her, you haven't hung out with her sense. She did, however, send you the occasional smile as you passed in the halls and let you sit with her and Jade during dinners. But today was the last day she would be allowed to semi-ignore you, for tomorrow you to would be wed and your kingdoms united. Sorsha had tasked you with the job to retrieve Jade and Kit from their training, so they would have time to change and prepare for the feast for your father's arrival. Usually as you walk up the stony path, you can hear the sound of swords clashing against each other but today it was almost deathly silent... Almost.

"What do I do Jade?" You can hear Kit say as you reach the peak of the cliff and hide behind some rocks. "Literally anything other than what you have been doing these past 6 moons would be fine." Jade says with a slightly bored tone, like she has told Kit the same thing multiple time. "But does it even matter? Either way tomorrow we will get married and then we'll be like that for probably the rest of our lives." Jade just nods along as she lets Kit work things out in her head. "I mean she even said it herself, she begged our parents just to get to know me before we got married and for what? For her to figure out she is only going to marry an asshole?" Kit grunts as she throws a rock off the cliff. "Gods Jade, she just... she deserves someone better. Someone who shows her the interest and care she deserves from the beginning, not someone who realizes too late how much they care for her." Jade looks over at Kit with a shocked expression. "You're not saying what I think your saying... Are you?" Kit looks at Jade nervously and lets out a sad laugh. "I guess I am... huh... I love her, a lot more than I wanted or was going to allow myself to and I thought if I ignored her and pushed her away, maybe the feelings would go away. Maybe she would beg for our parents to reconsider. Maybe she could get them to change their minds and she could marry for love and not political reasons, like she deserves... But a too little, too late, am I right?"

Kit loves you? Kit is in love with you? Wow. You couldn't help the large smile that graced your face as you finally made your presence known. Kit and Jade both jump to their feet in shock and Kit with a bit of embarrassment. "How much of that did you hear? Didn't your parents tell you that it's rude to eavesdrop?" Kit says with a slight anger in her voice but you know it because she's trying to ignore and cover up everything you just heard. You don't give her a response and just walk up to her, caressing her face in your hands. Jade takes a couple steps back as she looks on with a smirk, she's never seen Kit so unsure or lost for words. "We should go right? I'm sure my mother sent you up here to--" You cut Kit off as you plant your lips on hers. Kit freezes at the sudden contact but quickly warms up to it and wraps her arms around your waist pulling you closer. You both break away as you run out of air and Kit wears a giant smile on her face and you match it with your own. You both go back in for another kiss when Jade clears her throat and the two of you jump apart. "As glad as I am that Kit has gotten her shit together. I am sure Queen Sorsha did actually send you up here to retrieve us?" Jade asks as you blush and nod your head while looking at the ground, missing the way Kit stares at you with complete adoration. Jade groans as she grabs hers and Kit's swords off the ground and starts walking down the cliff. "Great, I'm going to be a permanent third wheel now, aren't I?" Jade just says to the world and Kit blows a raspberry at her as the two of you follow behind her.

When you return to the castle, hand in hand with Kit, your father is already there and conversing with Queen Sorsha. Sorsha looks surprised to see you and Kit holding hand and blushing like young children but your father looks proud and happy for you. The feast that night was a blast and instead of sitting with your father at the main table, you smushed in next to Kit at hers. The two of you also danced the night away, making sure to include Jade as to not make her feel like a third wheel. Everything was perfect....

You just wished it had stayed that way.
