It always disturbed me how Mc keeps calling cheva as prince chevalier/king chevalier even while they are being intimate so i decided to write a one shot about it. Hope you enjoy!
One night, Mc was having dinner with chevalier in his room like usual.
Their conversations as always revolved around what they did during the day, as well as books.
-“By the way, i received a new foreign romance book as a present from some noble ladies. Would you like to read it once i m done?”
He smiled at her and nodded. She smiled back at him and kept talking.
-“its a deep romance with a strong philosophical undertone. I m sure you ll like it King chevalier”
He frowned. They have been lovers for a while now. Yet she still called him king chevalier instead of just chevalier. He never prompted her to drop the honorifics, in case she felt uncomfortable. But she speaks to the other princes casually. So why was she so formal with him ?
After all she was his fiancee and soon to be queen. So why did she insist on calling him king even when they were alone.
-“Whats wrong, King Chevalier?”
-“Why do you keep adressing me so formally ? Just calling me by name is fine.”
She frowned and he almost regretted asking.
She must have a reason. But he’s been waiting for her for long enough. He decided that that night will be the night she starts calling his name without honorifics.
He stood up and grabbed her chin more roughly than he wanted to.
-“Tell me why?”
She hesitated for a few seconds before finally opening her mouth.
-“Its to remind myself that you are the king and that i should work hard to catch up with you.”
-“Ridiculous. You'v already caught up to me long time ago. Right now you are queen in everything but title. You possess all the knowledge and qualities to be an outsanding queen.”
-“I know that already…..but…” she averted her eyes, blushing.
-“MC”
He called her name and she couldnt help looking back at him. His icy blue eyes were searching her face for an answer and she saw them waver for a second. Was he feeling hurt because of such a trivial issue ?
But it was not trivial to him. He wanted her to be more comfortable and familiar with him than she was with any other man.
Everytime he heard her call Yves or Luke by their name he felt a pang of jealousy.
-“It’s because……ITS BECAUSE I’M FEELING SHY!”
He let go of her chin, surprised by her sudden outburst.
-“What was there to be shy about when we already saw everything of each other? ”
-“That’s not the point! After calling you king chevalier for such a long time it was weird for me to just suddenly start calling you with just your name! And- and i could never find the right moment to do it!”
She was out of breath and her face was deep red. He chuckled and let out a soft “simpelton” as he patted her head.
-“i m not a simpleton, your name is more precious to me than any other name so i have a harder time calling it.”
-“Then right now is the right moment. Go ahead and call my name. I m listening.”
He looked at her expectantly and waited. His heart was beating in anticipation.
She started playing with the hem of her skirt, a clear sign that she was nervous. After a minute or so she finally raised her head and started speaking.
-“I love you, Chevalier.”
She gave him the most magnificent smile. And at that moment he felt like that last remaining of ice in his heart has melted. For the first time ever he felt himself blushing but he did not try to hide it.
He considered it a reward and a privilege for her to see his blushing face. He smiled back at her and said

tags: Surprise Birthday Party, Birthday cakes, fluff, humor, featuring also Leon, Yves, Jin as well as the other princes!
It’s a new day in Rhodolite and you welcome it with a lazy yawn, stretching out the luxurious 9 hours of sleep from your well-rested muscles. You snuggle closer to your boyfriend Luke, caressing him gently in order to wake him up.
You’ve been told by Leon to go into the garden first thing in the morning today… Well, judging from the position of the sun which is seeping in warm rays through the window’s curtains, it’s a little before noon already. But, you’re sure the ever-so-thoughtful Leon has already taken Luke’s laziness into consideration. And, just because it is highly contagious, your own as well.
The mass of entangled sheets and amber hair locks produces a deep bear-like rumble. Instead of disturbing the slumber of a beast, you feel like you’re merely teasing a cute napping bear cub, so you continue.
Luke opens his gentle green eyes at last, droopy and heavy with sleep, and eyes you with the cutest pout on his lips. You can’t see how his expression changes when he shoves you close to his chest in a cuddle, but you’re guessing that pout is fast to melt away to a content, lazy smile.
Only for the pout to return anew when you remind him that you two have to get out of bed and get ready.
After helping each other get dressed and nearly dozing off a couple of times in the meanwhile, you and Luke are entering the sunny garden at last. Leon has instructed you to head towards the resting area with the sofas, so that’s exactly in which direction you tug Luke by the hand. Seeing the bright smile on your face as you walk by his side, he is hardly able to complain about being dragged into everything as long as it includes you.
The idle conversation you have with him soon gets forgotten because of the sight in front of you. You blink in confusion, and from the corner of your eye you catch Luke being equally as puzzled.
The resting area in the garden has been transformed into some kind of party venue - colorful garlands hanging from the surrounding tall rosebush-lined fences, tables with food and drinks placed around….and, a mini-crowd. A mini crowd of princes.
Leon is first to notice you approaching and claps his hands with a smirk on his face. Amidst the sudden chaos you failed to notice the two chairs-no, thrones?!- situated right in the middle. Until Leon drags you to them, and respectively, Luke gets dragged as well.
He prompts you to take a seat on the makeshift thrones and as he does, the mini-crowd starts singing the familiar lines of Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You!
You gasp in realization and turn your head to Luke, who is gasping as well. When it sinks that it is, indeed, your birthday today, which means it is Luke’s birthday, too - you stand up from your throne to throw your arms around your boyfriend. Under the sounds of the cheerful tune, Luke’s excitement gets the best of him and he gives you a quick kiss on the lips - which earns a round of applause to finish the song with, along with a whistle that you recognize as Jin’s.
Yves barely waits for the song to finish until he adapts that painfully familiar but always funny expression of utter shock on his beautiful features.
“Both of them? THEY BOTH FORGOT?!”
Jin pats Yves’ shoulder soothingly through laughter. “That’s what we are for, isn’t that right?”
Your gaze is shifting from one person to another, still fairly surprised.
“Would anyone explain what is happening here? Why are we sitting in this?”
While you’re busy asking, Clavis has snuck behind you and you only catch a glimpse of what looks like a paper crown being lifted and then placed on your head, Luke receiving the same treatment in another second. Leon is quick to answer, rolling his shoulders at you like it’s obvious.
“Just preparing you two for the life of Rhodolite’s King and Queen. The celebrations are going to be much more lavish that that, you know.”
Similar to your initial reaction before, this time you and Luke sigh in unison. Is this really necessary? With the coronation ceremony being just behind the corner, there are already enough reminders of the busy times that are ahead of you. Luke reads the good intentions behind Leon’s humorous explanation, and smiles.
“Maybe we can get away with much less hassle… if I’m a King I should be able to change the rules-”
“Luke, no.”
Everyone laughs at Licht’s sudden concern expressed in a flat voice. Jin finishes off where Leon started while helping himself to a drink from the table.
“We figured you two would prefer a celebration held in a more narrow circle. A quick talk with Sariel and he let us prepare this for you.” Seeing that you’re just on the verge of exploding in gratitude, Jin raises his hand to tell you to hold on.
“If I were on you, I wouldn’t hurry with the thank-you’s before I’ve seen it all. Service, please!”
Despite Yves’ obvious displeasure about being bossed around, upon Jin’s signal he pushes a food cart into view. On top of it is one of the most beautiful pastries Yves has created so far - and you’re definitely not exaggerating because of the sudden realization of what exactly it is. It’s a two-tier cake - not just a cake, a honey cake, the best cake flavor known to humankind, at least according to you and the man sitting next to you. Somewhere between the fascination of the mouthwatering aroma and the cute little edible bumblebees on top, you don’t know just when did you get up from your seat to give Yves a big hug, not letting him finish the verbal presentation of the cake. Soon, the weight of Luke is on Yves’ shoulders as well, sending the poor fifth prince through a whirlwind of emotions, his ego being stroked but his cheeks turning pink with all the attention.
Behind your back, you can hear the bunch throwing a fit about Yves taking all the love and gratitude for himself… though, they should’ve seen it coming when honey is mentioned in front of the royal couple.
Feeding Luke cake is a delight to your heart. And Luke feeding you cake in return is equally as such, as it is a delight to your belly. Even if it’s a little embarrassing in front of the guys, you feel comfortable in Luke’s presence as it almost feels like it’s only the two of you when he looks into your eyes like that - the rest of the world is quick to blur away. The party seems to be just beginning, because music comes to your ears and an invitation for dance is quick to come - from none other than Leon. You turn to your boyfriend to ask if it’s alright, and he mutters something among the lines, “you’re lucky that I’m still busy with the cake.” But that’s only for show, you figure, because he leans in close to your ear to whisper something.
“I want you only for myself later…”
Cheeks starting to burn on an instant, you stare at him for cues - is this about dancing? Or is he trying to say something else…?
Your boyfriend is only giving you his most adorable expression, fork in his mouth, as he prompts you to go.
Leon’s gentlemanly lead clears off your mind just a little, and Jin whisking you away right out of his grasp for another dance is putting laughter in your mouth. Having fun from the bottom of your heart, the only reason that you’d ever want this party to have an end could possibly be in order to be alone with Luke again. To slow dance in some more private part of the garden, when the sun drops low and the soft candlelight is all around you, or even later on, when smiling faces bid you goodnight and Luke takes you by the hand, leaving the garden in the same fashion as you came there.
Or, even later than that, much later, when you’re done fighting the nervousness and the excitement, and you present your gift to Luke, revealing that truly, you’ve remembered what day it is all along. And maybe the curious little you who had accidentally found his own gift for you a few weeks prior but kept quiet, would manage not to cry out of happiness a second time. The tightening of your belly on the thought of all those strong emotions that your boyfriend, soon-to-be-husband evokes in you, makes you question how such happiness is possible. For now, you decide to breathe in deeply, and let your heart be light as you enjoy yourself to your heart’s content today.

A/N: First Rio fic~ In celebration of his route trailer <3
Emma was helping her father unload a few bundles of books from the carriage he had arrived in when Rio came back to the shop. She had found it odd how he wasn’t anywhere to be found at home when she woke up, and couldn’t help the sting of uneasiness that throbbed in her chest. What if he had gained his memory back and he had left without saying goodbye? Whenever these thoughts appeared, she could never dismiss them with a simple “Rio is not like that” because, who was Rio, really? What if the ever cheerful and considerate Rio was only a product of his amnesia? What if gaining his memories back meant he turned into a different person, his real self?
“You know me,” he says pleasantly. “I’m not really a planner. But I certainly hoped I’d find you and could convince you into a tête-à-tête right here behind the curtains.”
Up on Ao3, link to that is at the top of my masterlist.
