Good Morning Connor
This is a one-shot idea I got from a fan art by Purple-Meow on DeviantArt and by a comment by ~Suigitouhime1 since we both share the same idea. Hope you like! Reviews are appreciated!
Autumn, 1777
The sun comes up, filling the baring trees with it's light, catching a sleeping couple in the forest. The first to rise being Connor Kenway, only known by his birthname Ratonhnhaké:ton by his village and fianceé, Rudi Maher. He sits up, stifling a laugh at remembering when they met. He must've looked so foolish.
He had been introduced to her through General Washington at her being of mixed race like him. Though she more resembled her Irish father than her Cherokee mother except the long, black hair, and she was a short young woman, she was one of the best, Washington said to him. The moment he said hello to her in his people's language and she said, "Hello to you as well," back in English, he felt something in him. Awe, pride, wonder...call it what you will, but the look on Connor Kenway's face had love written all over it.
Over the two years they knew each other now, he slowly let his courage build up in asking that question of four simple words. Four simple words that could shoot him down or make his deams come true:
"Will you marry me?" he asked her. He did not have a ring, but he hoped the proposal was still as one would be. He was down on one knee as he saw other men do in Boston. Seconds went by, Rudi's eyes watering up and shedding a tear before nodding and saying, "Oh hell yes!" And kissing him to the ground. Cheers broke them apart and making Rudi cover her red face when they realized they were in the middle of the Patriots's camp! He couldn't thank Washington enough when he told them to go and have a good night, taking something to use as a blanket.
So that brings him here. Sitting up in a forest, half covered in the flag when he gets a tug on his long hair.
"You're letting the warm air out," Rudi mumbles.
Connor smiles. "Sorry dear." He kisses her head and covers her up with the flag.
I hope you enjoyed the one-shot! I would have used the Mohawk word for beloved but I don't really know how to speak Mohawk, unfortunately. Anyway review and check out the art that inspired this fic on DeviantArt. Same name.
