Shawn Mendes Imagines

31 - The Runaway Princess AU

Tying my hair back as I stood there in an armor, I couldn't help but smirk as his eyes checked me out. Once my hair was completely out of my face, I straightened up and raised my eyebrow at him. I giggled as he bit his lip nervously. Maybe breaking my mother's rules isn't that bad.

"Done checking me out?" I teased.

He looked away quickly as his face slowly turned into a light shade of red. He turned back to me and smirked.

"Can you blame me? I already know I'm going to win against you just by looking at you." He stated.

"Awe. Shawn, you're breaking my heart. Really. But it's not as bad compared to how broken your ego as well as your pretty face will be once I'm done with you."

"Pretty, huh? I don't think this is the time for you to profess your huge crush on me, Princess."

"How typical of you. You only pay attention to what you want to hear. Now are you ready to fight or what? God knows I'll be killed by my own mother for nothing if all you do is talk."

"Oh come on. She's not gonna kill you. She trusts me enough."

He took out his sword and started to attack. I got mine out and blocked his strike. I twisted my sword in order to throw his to the side. But his grip on the metal was too strong for me to do so.

"Nice. Maybe I should be your training partner from now on. This way, you might actually get better." He chuckled.

"You're underestimating my skills, Mendes." I said as he lunged forward, leaving at most an inch of space between the two of us.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

I looked into his eyes and kissed him. He was caught off-guard but kissed me back. Once we pull away, I swung my sword against his, making him drop it.

"Not so confident now, huh?" I taunted.

"Fuck, y/n." He said, obviously out of breath as he ran his hand through his hair.

"What? Caught up on the kiss? You know, you're known as the princess' best friend- who happens to be one of the best singers- in this kingdom. Girls practically throw themselves at you. And here you are, acting as if you haven't been kissed before and I stole your first kiss."

"It's not like that. It's just... Different, I guess. And you actually did get my first kiss when we were younger. Remember the pact?"

"I know. We both had our first kiss with each other."

I didn't even realize that he got his sword until he struck mine. I dodged it and rolled my eyes at him while smirking. He attacked again but I tried to blocked it, only resulting to my sword flying out of my hands. Out of instinct, I tackled him to the ground. I couldn't help but look into his deep, brown eyes as we lay on the ground. We were only snapped out of our daze when someone cleared their throat.

"Princess, the queen wants to speak with you." Edward, my cousin who, at the same time, happens to be my bodyguard, stated.

"Uh, okay." I said, rolling off Shawn and standing up awkwardly.

I gave Shawn a small smile and looked down at the ground. He stood up and stood behind me awkwardly. He brushed the grass off his clothes before scratching the back of his neck nervously.

"Uh... I'll see you later, y/n." He said, running off to God knows where.

"Yeah, see you." I muttered.

Edward motioned for me to follow him and walked ahead of me. I caught up to him and walked beside him quietly. I took the tie out off my hair and brushed it with my fingers.
