Royal AU

Adrien wakes up around midnight, beside him lays you. His wife. He turns around and puts his hand on your shoulder. "Hey, is everything okay?" You're expecting a child in the next 2 months and you haven't been comfortable for at least the last 4 months. You are exhausted. Adrien tries his best to be supportive and comfort you, arranges and hires everyone imaginable so you don't have to suffer. But it doesn't help all that much, they cannot resolve your internal pain and discomfort. The only thing that truly helps you is Adrien's presence. 

With him by your side, you can see your linked future. Both of your dream of a family together will come true in such a reachable future. And that with the man you love and have loved since day 1. You cannot believe your luck. You are married to the king of the place which you learned to call home.

But to get that you have to pay the price which is your comfort for many months. You can't sleep but staying awake is impossible too. You're lying on the side, trying to suppress upcoming anxiety when a warm hand rubs soothing circles on your arm. "Hey, is everything okay?" he repeats his question. You turn to look at Adrien who has a worried expression on his face. You will always have Adrien, no matter what will come. You can only smile at the thought. "Now there is," you say, bringing Adrien's hand closer to your lips and giving a kiss on the back of his hand. Adrien's expression relaxes and he smiles at you "what a flirt I married" he says amused. "Why were you still awake, princess?" you sigh heavily at the question. "Anxiety prevents me from getting any rest" you admit. "Does my princess want to take a walk?" he offers, hoping to ease the burden off your shoulders. "That sounds wonderful."

The air is cold, the night is mostly clear with some fluffy clouds. The moon is illuminating your way. You stop at the bridge, looking into the water with the night sky reflected in it and the fish who are swimming peacefully. "I knew we should have brought coats with us," Adrien says, shivering and taking you into his arms, trying to warm you. You smile warmly at your beloved and move closer to him.

You both stand there in silence, warming each other and looking at the peaceful scene in front of you. Adrien is the first to break the silence with the quiet humming of a foreign melody. His body sways from one side to another and his hand lays on your waist, moving you with him. Together you dance even after the melody has ended, just dancing in silence. Enjoying each other's presence and the warmth you both offer one another.

Both of you come to a stop and Adrien gives a kiss to your cheek. "You are wonderful, do you even know that." Both of you stand in front of each other, your hands rest on his neck "I am well aware, but you could mention that more often," you say cheekily. "You're also impossible," Adrien says and grins and kisses you all over your neck, you snicker in response. "I've missed your laugh, princess. It's like balm to my soul" he says with a blissed-out look on his face. Both of you look into each other eyes in silence. For a moment, there is peace.

"You seem so worried lately, and I am barely able to catch a glimpse of you throughout the day. I am buried with work and not have been able to help you. You're going through the tough times alone. I am sorry that I have not been able to be by your side. I am sorry that you have to carry the burden of our child alone." Adrien buries his face into the crook of your neck. Hot tears rolling out of his eyes and unto your neck. "I promise I will be better" he mumbles into you and hugs you tight, looking out for your baby bump.

"You're just there for your kingdom" you card through his hair, trying to comfort him and rid him of guilt. "I know that you have a responsibility to your folk, don't worry, dear," you say understanding. "Yes, but I am not there for you. My wife. I also have a responsibility to you" he looks up at you with red puffy eyes. "Dear," You cup Adrien's face in your hands making him look at you and make little circles with your thumb on his cheek. He looks at you with big regretful eyes, a pout on his lips sniffling a little "everything is going to be okay" you say confidently. "That big workload won't last forever. And I know that you will make time for me and our child. You're going to be a good Dad and continue being a wonderful husband. I have faith in you," you press a kiss on his forehead. 

"You are too good for me. You're so kind and understanding, how do I deserve you?" he smiles and wipe away the remnants of his tears. "You must've saved someone from death in your former life" you giggle. "You're feeling bold today, huh?" he kisses your temple "good, I like seeing you confident." Adrien cannot believe how much luck he had to be with someone like you, he'll be forever yours, and you'll be forever his. His wife, his queen.

This was a scribble for one of my friends and I didn't even want to upload it anywhere. But why not, so I hope you enjoyed it at least somewhat. I'll translate it as soon as possible.
