A Powerless FanFiction

Paedyn

I must have fallen asleep at some point last night because before I knew it I was opening my eyes to the sun falling into my room. But before I had fallen asleep I knew what I had to choose, and oddly enough, as much as this idea terrified me, it was what I wanted. I didn't want to be the queen of a dying kingdom, I wanted to be a girl who was loved by a broken man, who would choose her over everything else in this world. I sat up stretching my legs, standing up from my bed as I waited. Kai said he would come back to discuss what I had decided. I paced around the room double guessing myself. Maybe this idea was a mistake, what if we go through with it and regret it, or hate each other? He and I will be forever connected through a marriage in which we can not escape. But the more and more I thought about it, the less I was second-guessing myself. The less I was scared of the idea of being his.

It would give both of us a freedom we had never known before. I would be free of the marriage to Kitt that I had never asked for, he would gain the freedom to be his true self, not the masks he'd learned to wear. The more I really did think about it the more I wanted it, I wanted to be with Kai, to have that small little family, not have to worry.

I heard a mild knock on my door. "Come in," I answered as I saw Kai slip into the room and close the door silently behind him. "Hey there Prince" I smiled.

"Hey there, Darling." He gave a soft smile. An expression that I did not expect out of him. Making him seem almost peaceful, a feeling I think he forgot he was capable of. "Did you make your decision, if we are going to get you out of this engagement you need to act now."

I didn't even respond with words. I just walked up to him kissing him on the lips, letting my mouth slide over his. Waiting for his response and it wasn't long until he gladly returned the action. Deepening the kiss. The feeling of him kissing me back gave me butterflies in my stomach, and made me just melt into his touch. My breathing slowed as he kissed me back. Melting into his touch.

But then he pulls away. "Pae, please I want you to choose me, because you want to be with me, I don't want you to feel like I'm your only option."

"Azer, I'm choosing this because I love you. Every part of you. When masks are cracking, without the stone-faced man your father formed. The sight of your dimples, when you truly smile. Everything about you. I'm choosing you not because you are my way out, but because I want to be with you. I want the future Kitt thinks is his with me to be yours. And we can make that happen. Malakai Azer, I choose you and only you." I stop myself for a second. "And don't doubt yourself, if we go through with this plan, and we succeed I know you will be an amazing father. And be the father that you wanted and needed for your children." I watched as his once stone face turned into a bright smile comparable to Adena's

He wrapped his arms around me, continuing the kiss that he had paused. Making me forget about every worry in the world. Which was true, every worry in the world after today would be over

Then it hits me, I have to have dinner with Kitt later tonight. "Kai wait< remember we have to have dinner with Kitt tonight, we can't have him getting suspicious before we even get our plan rolling."

"What are you suggesting then my Little Pshycic?" He murmurs resting his head against my shoulder.

"I'm suggesting that we wait until tonight."

"As much as I wish you were wrong, you're right." He sighed. He leaned and kissed me gently one last time. "You've officially chosen me, Gray, can't go and change your mind about me now." He chuckled.

"Wouldn't dream of it, Azer."

"Well, I better be going before my lovely brother sends someone to check on you. Don't need him stopping our plans before we even set them into motion."
