Royal or Loyal? [A garmau AU] ✔️

Back Again [14]

Garroth and Aphamu has both reached Phoenix drop safely.

Aphmau was almost healed and Garroth would
check up on his brother three times a day.

"Welcome back, princess." Danté said, greeting Aphamu.

She rolled her eyes.  "It's nice to see you too, Danté."

"Are you going to tell me that story yet?" Garroth asked, intertwining their fingers, he pretty much put two and two together, but it would be nice to actually hear the story from Aphmau herself

"Later."

Garroth happily sighed.  "Are you doing okay?"

She nodded.  "I've had it worse." Which wasn't a lie.

"That's good." He paused.  "I'm sorry about my dad."

"It's fine.  I was too stupid to get caught." Aphmau shook her head, but smiled shortly after.

"I'll check us in." He said, going inside to talk to the clerk, who kind of freaked out, watching as Garroth had to calm her down and ask her for a room.

"Okay I think that we still don't know each other that well." Aphmau said, finishing her bottle of beer.

"Okay so, I'll spin this bottle.  If it lands on you, tell a secret that I don't know and I'll go next.  Vise Versa." She stated.

Garroth nodded.  "This is the only spin the bottle game I'll play,"

She spun the bottle, it landed on her.  She looked up and thought if it was the right time.

"My dad left me when I was young.  My mom said he does but I think he's still out there.  And I want to find him someday." She finally confessed.

Garroth's eyes become a little bit more worried.  "That's some heavy shit.  I'm sorry."

She smiled.  "It's okay, I was young and don't even remember."

Garroth sighed.  "Any types of magiks don't effect me."

"What?!"

He nodded.  "I can see right through your disguise."

"So when I ran into you that one time-"

"Yes, I knew it was you." He chuckled.

"Why didn't you sell me out?" She asked, interested.

"Because I always looked up to you.  I'm a member of the guild and I committed treason but I've always wanted to meet you." He confessed.  It made Garroth sound really bad from the way he explained it.

All Aphmau could answer was with a simple 'oh' before she said something else.

"I-I'm the lost princess of Phoenix Drop."

"What?!" He asked in astonishment. He really wondered what else she had up her sleeve. It was like there were new things being revealed about her every day.

"Yeah. That's how I know all the dances at balls." She said.

He smiled. "I was going to be almost forced to marry you if you weren't declared 'dead'."

Aphmau smiled. She wouldn't have minded that.  And she doesn't think Garroth would have either.

"Yeah. Don't tell anybody though, okay?" She said, holding out her pinky.

He chuckled. "You still believe in this?"

"Of course." He took his pinky in hers.

"But I believe in this." He said before engulfing her into a kiss.

Aphamu was a blushing mess as Garroth smirked.

Garroth checked on vylad, making sure he was okay. Fortunately, he was fine and everything was going smoothly.

"Garroth-"

He shut her up by placing his lips into hers.  He started to back up against the wall.

"Yes, love?"

She giggled.  "Never mind, keep doing what you were doing before."

He smashed their lips together once more, making her feel everything in each kiss.

She jumped up, Aphmau wrapping her arms around Garroth's neck, as he kissed her more.

He carried her to the bed, then things went their course after that.

•••

Garroth smiled, drawing doodles on Aphmau's back.

He got up, not waking the sleeping angel.

Aphamu started to stir, waking up.

"Hello gorgeous." He smiled.

He threw her his jacket. "Here."

"Thanks." She said, slipping on the over-sized hoodie.

They went to go get breakfast.

Everything was alright.
