Description
Everyone was gathered in the Royal Capital at the center square. There was loud chatter, bright lights and people… everywhere. It was a bit chilly too, but the breeze barely hit you with everyone huddled around you.
The tree lighting in the square was tonight and basically everyone in the Royal Capital was invited, even the servants of the Royal households. You, yourself, was a servant, a servant for House Silva. You had no magic but you were born from magic parents. But once they died, you got taken in by the Silva household and made a servant for the Royals. You didn’t complain, most the time. It was a roof under your head and food, so who was to complain?
And also, being the servant you were, you dealt more with the actual Royals than the normal house work and duties. In doing so, had you meet the one guy you would now and forever, never forget.
One day, you were sent to greet a man at the door and when you opened it, you stood frozen. He donned a white tank top and black pants which had an outer layer of tan leather that covered his outer thighs and went down to his knees. He also had a katana that he wore on the side of his body. But mainly, your eyes traveled to a squads insignia that was draped over his right shoulder. The Black Bulls.
Snapping out of your trance, you finally spoke. “Welcome to House Silva.” You nodded your head. “May I ask who you’re here to s-“
“Yami.” You heard a voice speak out from directly behind you and you knew automatically that it was Nozel.
“Braids. You called me here?” The guy named Yami spoke out.
“Yes, unfortunately so, but follow me.” Your master spoke out and you shifted to the side, allowing him to come through.
And from then on, every time he came over your heart would race, cheeks would pinken and you’d stutter slightly. But every time you’d get a word in, you’d get asked to do something else, driving you away from the man. As time went on, you found him to be the captain of the Black Bulls.
But now, present day, you were amongst the crowd of people, struggling to see the tree that was about to be lit. So, giving up with seeing the tree, you decided to try and get a better view from the back of the crowd.
You wiggled your way though the crowd to get to the back, behind everyone and you managed to do that. Upon popping out of the last layer of people, you were found stood right in front of the Black Bull’s Captain, Yami Sukehiro.
He was standing with one hand on his hip, feet apart and one hand by his mouth that was pulling his cigarette out of. He blew a puff of smoke as he watched you scramble beside him.
“Um…” You had your eyes wandering around, looking anywhere but his face. “It’s nice to see you here Captain Yami.” You voice was soft but even around a sea of noise, he heard you.
“Mmmm, it’s nice to see that you were able to get out of the household to see this.” He nodded at you, eyeing you up and down.
A blush became present on your face but you turned around quickly, attempting to see the tree again. “Yeah, um, everyone is out of the household tonight. I think close to all the Royal household’s servants are out here tonight.” You spoke out and you could feel your heartbeat getting faster. This was the longest you’ve talked to him but to be fair… every time he came to House Silva, Solid or Nebra would always pop up and order you to do something before you could get more than 5 to 10 words out. But now, they weren’t around, they were probably at the front of the crowd or something.
“That’s good.” He puffed out another breath of smoke before King Augustus came out to say his speech.
He was standing on a platform to the right of the tree that was above the crowd and when he began to speak, not really anyone was paying attention. So, he just kept rambling on until Julius popped up next to him saying he could take it from here.
Julius stepped up and waved to the crowd, receiving hoots and hollers. “On today, this lovely day of December the 13th, we stand gathered around in the center square to create memories and happiness that will last through the years.” Cheers erupted. “This is a special time of year, we are surrounded by family and loved ones, friends and neighbors and may it be, even enemies or rivals. But that won’t stop us from celebrating the holiday cheer with each other.” More cheers. “So, on this day, I’m glad you all could join us in the lighting of the clover tree that will light the way to Christmas. So how about we get this show on the road?” He clapped and the eruption of cheers got louder.
You struggled to see the tree. What you could see was maybe half of the tree, so it was a good amount, but you wish you could see the actual lighting of it.
“Y/N.” You heard your voice come out of a certain captain’s mouth which made you skin prick. You turned around to see Yami standing in the air, hovering on his broom with his hand held outward, beckoning you to join him. “The sight of the tree would be better from above, so how about it?”
Your heart raced as you watched the black-haired man ask for your hand. You nodded slightly, placing one hand in his and a foot on his broom. Tightening your grip, he as well as yourself, hoisted you up next to him. You faltered slightly, but caught yourself by the waist of Yami and by now, your face was bright red. Thankfully though, it was crisp enough for that to be hidden from… other people.
But Yami knew better and he chuckled out. “You better hold on tight.” One second, you were a mere foot off the ground and the next, you were meters in the air, looking down on the entire square. The sight of the tree was magnificent and better yet, you could see everything.
“Oh my gosh.” Your eyes widened with amazement. Not only was the square visible, but you could see the entire Royal Capital. You could see the Kira Estate straight ahead, with the Silva Estate to the right and the Vermillion Estate to the left. Everything was amazing and you were witnessing it all wrapped around the waist of your long-time love interest.
“And now! For the lighting!” Julius announced as he flipped a switch that was next to the tree. The lights lit up row by row, traveling all the way up the tree until the star on top was shining as bright as the sun.
Your eyes widened even bigger at the grand display down below and you leaned forward slightly which made you shake a little bit. You could feel the shift of Yami and suddenly, his arm was wrapped behind your back, his hand gripping your shoulder. “Don’t worry. I won’t let you fall. Even so, if that were to happen, you could always trust me to catch you.” He spoke in your ear and not only did the redness in your cheeks stay, but your lips curled up into a smile.
You both stood above the square together for a while, his arm tight around you, your arms tight around him and you just enjoyed the rest of the night.
