You laid in your bed, sheets pulled over your form as you settled in the comfortable warmth it gave you. Despite the tempting feeling to close your eyes, you kept yourself awake due to your anticipation for a certain someone’s arrival. Your gaze kept flickering to your quarter’s window with the moonlight timidly peeking through the curtains, the light offering a faint crack of sight. Impatience and anxiety was clouding your mind though you kept yourself at bay.

There was suddenly a tap at the window, soft yet still hard with intent. You slowly lifted yourself from the bed to guide your body to the windowsill. While pushing open the curtains, you gently unlatched the lock keeping the glass closed. This was a daily occurrence you went through, these visits thankfully becoming more often for you and him.

You had met him through a communal dance with all the kingdoms, one of the knights perched as security for the event. Ever since that moment, the two of you had fallen in love with an unfortunate fate. You were from rivaling families, which led to the chance of meeting slim. That was until he found a resolution. A slight inconvenience but it was worth it.

Cross was perched on the windowsill with a small smile, a small sweat dripping down his skull. After all, climbing the vines stretched among the palace’s walls was a hefty task. He crouched down into your bedroom in a gingerly manner to avoid making any noise.

“Hello, my love…”

The skeletal knight mumbled to a whisper while clasping his hands over yours to graze them with a delicate kiss filled with adoration. His eyelights lifted to meet your gaze, creasing his expression from endearment.
