Ready As I'll Ever Be: A Varian X Reader Story

part 10

Y/N's POV
-------------------------------

"Y/N"
thud
"Y/N"
Thud
"Y/N!"
THUD
"Whaaaaaat"
I blink, trying to adjust my eyes to the lighting...
until I realize that I'm covered in pillows.
I hear giggling (from I assume raps) on the other side of the room. I sit up with a grunt and rub my eyes. Varian lazily sits up next to me and pets rudiger. I look over at raps who is for some reason, trying to hold back laughter. I tilt my head in confusion.
"What?"
She points at Varian,
and I realize how close we are.

And that his shirt is off.

He gives me a toothy smile and tousles his hair.
"Good morning beautiful"
I blush bright red and slightly point in the direction of raps. He turns his head and his eyes go wide. It didn't help that my blush is contagious and he turned the color a tomato.
"Uh- I was talking to rudiger! That's right!"
He picked up rudiger and gave him a hug.
"Good morning you beautiful thing!"
I put my face in my hands as rap's laughter got louder and louder. Before I can jump out of bed, the door bursts open and a maid stumbles in. I shriek (thinking it was my brother) and fling myself at Varian, as if it was instinct.

Varian's POV
---------------------------------------

.........
That's all I can think. Nothing.
You know why? Because a beauty just jumped at me, looking for protection.
Me.
For protection.
I go stiff, my face heating up. I look down at the beauty named Y/N. Just the sight of her makes me smile. I put my arm around her waist and hold her close.
"It's okay"
Y/N curls up closer to me and says something, but I can't understand.
"What?"
She tilts her head to look at me, her face a light pink.
"You're warm"
I chuckle and pull the blanket over her.
Gasp!?!?
My head whipped up to see a handmaiden covering her mouth, her eyes wide in surprise.
"I am so sorry princess!"
In a flash I shoved Y/N off of me and threw my hands up in protest.
"This isn't what it looks like!"
Y/N sat straight up and glared at me.
"What was that for?!? I was really comforta-"
She caught the maids eye and her face went bright red. Then she joined me in saying it was a different situation.
"She was showing me these stories and I guess we fell asleep"
Raps poked her head in.
"Then why is your shirt off?"
I threw my hands up.
"Because Eugene's shirt is super itchy and I couldn't get any sleep !"
I grabbed the nearest sheet and covered myself and my red face.
"If it is any help, I think you have a very nice 6 pack in the making sir!"
It was the maid.
.

There was silence, then she continued:
"I believe miss Y/N thinks that as well"
I peek over at Y/N, who has seemed to lose any ability to speak. I make I eye contact with her......

And we started laughing! Y/N clutched her stomach as she tried to breathe.
"'A six pack in the making'?!?! Oh lily, that is the funniest thing I have ever heard you say!"
Lily laughed nervously, not knowing what to do.

"Well, I best be leaving, got a lot of work to do!"
She did a small curtsy and grabbed the sheets.
"Good day miss Y/N, miss Y/N's boyfriend"
Y/N shook her head
"We're not dat-"
Lily closed the door. I shook my head, still chuckling.
"You think I have a six pac-"
Y/N claps her hands together.
"So! I was thinking we could walk around the town today, kind of like a tour. Unless you've already looked around here"
I shrugged.
"I don't mind a tour"
Y/N smiled
"Ok! So I'm going to get ready, then we can leave. Raps, do you wanna come?"
She shrugged.
"Sure"
Y/N smiled
"Cool! So we can meet at the front of the palace when we're ready?"
We nodded. Today was gonna be a fun day, I could tell.
