Mal sighed as she wiped her tears. She's just had a fight with Ben and it didn't go well. He yelled at her and when she tried to apologize he slammed the bedroom door shut and she had no other choice but to sleep in the guest room. She sighed as she plopped down on the bed. She let out a breath before going to bed. Her last thought being a wish that everything with Ben will work out.
Mal woke up breathing heavily as she put her hand on her chest. She noticed that her hand was shaking. Scratch that- her whole body was shaking. She panted as she started having a hard time breathing. No! She wasn't having a panic attack. She couldn't be having one, at least not without anyone with her. She'd never had a panic attack without anyone helping her before. Ben was always there for her. The purple haired queen shook as she on unsteady legs walked to their bedroom. She tried the door, only to surprisingly find it unlocked. Mal let out a breath of relief.
"Ben" Mal said softly as she shook him awake. Her voice sounded almost normal as she spoke, she didn't want him to worry too much. "Ben" she said a little louder as her husband didn't wake up. Mal felt her hands shake as she shook him. It was getting worse and she needed him. Her face only showed happiness and hope as he opened his beautiful eyes. His eyes shot open and all the sleepiness that showed on his face was gone
. "Oh god! Mal!" He quickly grabbed her and pulled her into his lap as he sat up. Mal rested her head on his shoulders and let herself cry. Cry over the fight, cry over the nightmare and cry over the empty bed she slept in. "Please don't leave me." she whimpered. Her eyes were red and puffy as she looked at him with those electric green eyes. "Hey, why would I do that? Why would I leave the love of my life? Why would I leave the only girl tagged loves me for me and not the crown? Why would I ever leave the woman that holds my heart?" Mal let out a shaky sigh as Ben caressed her cheeks and wiped her tears. She could only think of her insecurities and all of the reasons why Ben would divorce her and marry a pretty princess.
"Darling" Ben called her by the pet name he gave her. "I will never leave you. Not for a princess and not for any other girl. I thought you knew that. What made you think that I'll leave you all of a sudden? I love you and only you. Please remember that." Mal let out a choked sob as she pulled his lips to hers. They separated and Mal rested her forehead against his. "I had a dream." she started. "You left me after the fight because I wasn't what you wanted. And then I saw you with a princess and I remember that everyone turned against me because the break up was my fault. I-I" mal let out another sob. Ben quickly wiped her tears and held her close. And he held her close and murmured sweet nothings in her ear until her sobs quiet down and he heard her snore softly. With a last "I love you" and a kiss placed on her forehead he fell asleep with his beautiful wife in his arms. Just as it's meant to be forever.
The king with his beautiful beautiful lady in his arms. Forever together and forever in each other's arms. Forever comforting each other. Forever they will love each other. Forever it won't matter what others think and he is going to tell her that everyday. Forever he is going to make sure she feels good about herself.
It's short but I really like it!
