welsharcher: A little gift for my fellow princess, @oh-great-authoress XxXPrincess Rose had come a long way from her first lesson months ago. She easily followed the Prime Minister’s lead and the Minister’s toes remained, thankful, untreaded upon.Armitage lingered in the shadows, admiring his work, as the ball commenced around him. Couples took up their place on the floor; the lights twinkled above the gathering like countless stars, the mood of the room was lively and full.All the hours, the meticulous refining, the bruises, and now, here they were. If truth be told, Armitage had never thought that Rose Tico would accept the crown and throne in the end. It was the reason he had taken great care to not get attached. Or so he had thought.He hadn’t been shocked to hear after the beach scandal that she wanted to part ways with the Queen, and Armitage had been the only one not surprised to hear that the young princess had run away, knowing full well how much she hated giving speeches. But, when Rose had shown up sopping wet and gave a beautifully unplanned speech accepting her title, no one had been more caught off than Armitage Hux.The song ended and Rose curtsied to her partner. The next song picked up and Armitage watched as she looked around, almost as if searching for someone.Surprise caught the former general for the second time that night when her gaze came to rest upon him, a small smile tugging at her soft lips.Remembering her manners, she did not seek him out further. Instead, she waited patiently like the royal she was for him to approach and request the honor of her next dance. Not wishing to make a scene, he made his way towards her and bowed, “May I have this dance, Princess Rose?”She offered him her hand, “You may.”Armitage took great care as he collected her and began leading them across the floor; it was a perfect fit. A small smirk flit across his face, trying to distract his thoughts, “I suppose the cat will be coming?”“What is life – castle or not – if I don’t have Millicent by my side?”“I suppose she would make the perfect royal consort, maybe you could make history and add her to Parliament.” He jested.Rose slowed their pace and looked to the terrace, “I…I haven’t seen the gardens yet.” She hinted.Every part of Armitage – the part that loved rules and regulations and boundaries – screamed no, but another part, which was beating uncontrollably, drowned them all out, “Of course.”The pair snuck away without notice and were soon hidden away in the darkened garden, the warm, summer air dancing around them. Armitage casually walked along, his hands kept carefully to himself, “Are you excited to visit Genovia?”“I am.” Rose smiled softly, “Are you excited I’ll be coming?”Armitage faltered for a moment but recovered quickly, “I am sure you will make a fine Queen.”“Armitage.” Rose stopped and he instantly heeded her command, “It…it’s not just me, is it?” She became flustered, her nerves getting the best of her, “I mean, maybe it is me, and I’m just being stupid, and silly, because I mean how can someone like you like someone like me and—”Before reason could reply, Armitage had taken Rose’s face gently between his hands and captured her lips with his. The kiss was everything it ought to have been. Rose’s foot popped on its own accord and flipped the switch that lit up the entire garden around them, creating the most perfect, the most magical moment.Armitage pulled back and rested his head against hers, “It’s not just you.”“Oh good, because for a second there I thought I was dreaming! I’ve never been in heels for so long without tripping before.”Armitage chuckled and stole one last kiss before he offered his princess his arm and escorted her back to her ball.XxX (more gingerrose) -- source link
