The world was a cruel place, that's what they said. With bad people ready to steal what you value the most, with cold hearted and two faced strangers. Wearing pretty dresses, walking straight, giving orders and joining events. What a life to be admired, right? As the future queen this is all you've got and no one stopped to wonder... How are you actually doing? Till you met his eyes.
Kind, warm, softer than any satin you've ever worn. He's got those eyes that could undress you then hold you all night. And that's exactly what Eren did. You had no idea how you've let this total stranger from the city garden come close to you, talk, let alone hold you the whole night. Yet it was wrong even if it felt so good. You just needed air and space from the crowd so retreated in the city garden where he was seeking the same, just peace of mind from all common hardships.
He wasn't a price,nor a noble, nor a douche or any important figure. His worn out patched clothes and dirty shoes, counting some money he probably wasn't supposed to have in the back of an Inn. But you kept him close, because no money compared to his sweet handmade gifts, words and actions.
Eren was an orphan, that s what he knew and you accepted him for that. He didn't want to make it public tho, prefering to admire and support you from the crowd even if you always begged him to be close. But always came to you after, no matter the place.
"This life? Your life? That isn't for me. I'm cutting wood and building homes, I'm not made for this, but you,love? God,you're perfect."
He said while taking off your heels after a night of pain, massaging your feet gently and placing a soft kiss on your leg.
