Leo x Reader (Birthright ending)

It had been 3 years since the war between Hoshido and Nohr, a war that had claimed many lives, including the Crown Prince and the youngest Princess of Nohr. Leo's orientation as the new King of Nohr was not a happy one, as all of Nohr was still in mourning for the royal siblings. However, even in the midst of his grief, Leo was expected to carry out his duties as King and set aside the deaths of his siblings. Being King wasn't easy; many times Leo thought he'd break under the pressure. The lives of hundreds of thousands of people lay in his hands, and he didn't even know the first thing about how to use them. And it wasn't just that. Leo had seen all the glances of mistrust and incompetency that his subjects eyed him with. He was, after all, the youngest King of Nohr to be crowned; what hope did he have in winning his people's trust? That had been Xander's forte, perhaps even Elise would've been able to do better than him (socially-wise at least), with her nature of winning people over. On those days Leo would set aside these feelings and visit the graves of Xander and Elise, knowing that they would listen to him, even in death. Camilla had of late become very busy; she had not the time to listen to Leo's whining.

However, today, as Leo walked into the garden where his siblings rested, he caught sight of silver armor and a blue cape. He knew who it was, and he didn't like it. Even though Leo had three years to contemplate his sister's decisions for choosing Hoshido, he never ever really forgave her. Seeing her, crouching in front of the two graves filled his heart with bittersweet feelings. The first thing that came into his mind was the feeling of anger, that Y/N had the nerve to visit the graves of the two people's deaths she'd caused. The nerve that finally, after three long years, she had the time to visit his dead siblings when she never bothered to search him out.

This last thought bothered Leo; why would he care about the woman who killed his siblings? The woman that he'd once loved that had ultimately betrayed him with the deaths of his siblings? He couldn't believe it.

Could I actually still love her, in the deepest depths of my heart? No! It's wrong. She killed them... She killed Xander and left me with this burden, and she killed Elise, sweet innocent Elise who had a full life in front of her. This is all of her fault! So then why... am I happy to see her?

Indeed, past the anger and past the frustration, Leo could feel his heart beating faster, a feeling of excitement that he hadn't felt for a long time. But he masked these feelings of joy and stepped behind Y/N, purposely stepping on a branch.

Y/N whirled around at the noise, almost expecting to find an intruder within the grounds.

She sighed with relief and her mouth formed a smile. "Oh, hello, Leo." Leo's pulse quickened rapidly, but he managed a neutral face. "Good afternoon, Sister. What brings you here?" The Princess laughed nervously and stood up. "Well, I came to confess something to Xander and Elise..."

Leo frowned for a moment. Confess? What does she mean by that...? Don't tell me...

"I have something to tell you, Leo..." Y/N's face burned red.

"Something you'd like to tell me? It's this important that you have to tell me in front of Elise and Xander?"

Y/N nodded, "Yes... I'll be frank. Leo, I've admired you ever since we were children. Choosing the Hoshidans was one of the hardest decisions in my life... And when Elise and Xander died, in front of me, I just... I felt so bad. Like it was my fault, like I could have done something." she looked at him, square in the eye. "I like you, Leo."

Leo stared at Y/N, face bright red.

"I... never knew..." he stood there, his eyes cast down. Leo sighed, "I've always hated you, ever since Xander and Elise died... But now I see that it's not your fault, and I forgive you. I'm sorry they died, I know it was selfish of me to think that I'm was the only one feeling this pain." Leo looked up, finding that Y/N was crying, yet smiling.

"Thank you, Leo. Thank you."
"We must have the devil's own luck to still have eachother..."
Y/N laughed, "I guess we do."

Leo looked into Y/N's eyes before slowly leaning in. He grabbed her chin lightly before closing the space between their lips.

"I love you."
