A/n: Before we get started, I wanted to say thank you to all the people who have offered to turn my work into comics. However, I am not accepting these offers for personal reasons. I hope y'all understand!
Fumiko's parents, the king and queen of their kingdom, were hosting a ball for her birthday. The prince of their ally kingdom, Atsushi Nakajima, was betrothed to princess Fumiko. As the maids were helping Fumiko get ready for the ball she looked up curiously at the sound of knocking on the door. "Stay there, your majesty!" One of the maids said as she went to open the door. The princess smiled warmly when Atsushi came in with his usual smile. "Hello, doll! You look beautiful as always." He spoke lovingly, his gaze softened as he looked at her. "Princess Fumiko will be ready momentarily, Prince Atsushi." The maid said with a smile as she styled Fumiko's hair. Atsushi hummed softly and kissed his princess's cheek. "Can't wait… I'll see you soon, darling."
Later on, Atsushi watched with a star struck expression as Fumiko came down the staircase. He walked over to her and bowed, holding a hand out for her to take. "May I have this dance, m'lady?" Fumiko blushed and smiled as she took his hand. "It would be my pleasure." The young couple began dancing together. It was as if it was just the two of them circling the ballroom. They gazed into each other's eyes lovingly and they kissed each other softly.
As the party went on, people kept dancing and Atsushi and Fumiko were eventually separated. Fumiko found herself being lured away to a spinning wheel, as well as being forced to prick her finger on the spindle. A nearby guard saw the princess fall to the floor and his eyes widened as he rushed to check on her. When he saw she was just asleep he relaxed a little before gently picking her up and carrying her to her bedroom. He rushed to inform the other guards and Fumiko's family. As the guards went to search for a possible intruder, Atsushi stopped the one who had found Fumiko in the first place. "Where's Fumiko?" The young prince asked worriedly and the guard sighed, concern evident in his eyes. "I brought her to her bedroom." Atsushi looked more worried. "May I go see her??" The guard nodded in response and before he could say anything Atsushi ran off towards Fumiko's room.
Upon reaching the princess's room, Atsushi burst through the door and his eyes filled with tears when he saw Fumiko. He slowly approached her and gently brushed her hair away from her face before kneeling down to press a soft kiss to her lips. When Atsushi pulled away a loving, relieved smile grew on his lips as Fumiko's eyes slowly opened. "Mm..? Atsu…?" Atsushi hugged her tightly.
"Thank goodness you're okay, Fumi…" He whispered as Fumiko slowly hugged him back silently.
The room held a gentle silence as they clung to each other tightly.
This is how it was meant to be.
Just Atsushi and Fumiko.
No one else…
