A Small Lullaby
I slip on my usual clothes for the day yawning. It's been almost 2 months since Lamia and I have come to Sindria. 2 months since Sinbad took us away. I would have left by now but I decided to hold off on my plans. I have been asked a few times by Lamia about my leaving but I let it slide and attempt to change the subject. I can't believe I am saying this but I actually feel at home. Sindria is my home now.
I owe Sinbad so much.
I owe him everything.
Knock! Knock!
"(y/n), are you awake?" I hear Ja'far's voice from behind the door.
"Oh! Yes! Come on in Ja'far!" I shout as I get off the bed and make my way towards the door.
Ja'far opens the door slowly and carefully glancing up at me nervously. Such a worry wart. Sometimes I feel like he would be more of a mother than a father.
"So what's up? Is something wrong?" I ask as he approaches me with his arms in his sleeves. He gazes down at me with his forest green eyes as he lets out a sigh of exhaustion.
"I am sorry to drop this on you but... I have been making Sinbad sit at his desk and do his work. Yesterday I made sure he stayed in his room. However, I wasn't sure whether or not if he was able to sleep. He locked his office this morning so I wasn't able to check up on him."
"You finally got him to sit his ass down and do his kingly duties?" I raise an eyebrow at him smirking.
"Y...Yes, and so I wanted to see if you could get him out of his office. He's overdoing it. He needs to get that even if I put him in his office and force him to sit there is so that he understands that he has paperwork to do," Ja'far explains rubbing the temple of his forehead.
"So you just want me to get him out of his office now?"
"Yes," Ja'far confirms.
"Oh, that won't be too hard. This will be easy," I told him patting his shoulders smiling to him. "Leave this to the specialist!"
[Timeskip]
"Sinbad! If you don't open this god damn fucking door I swear to god I will make sure you lose your fucking balls!" I shout angrily as I punch and kick his door.
I have been at the front of his door all day. It's already late at night. I took my time today to make him all his meals. I drop off some food and snacks. I even took my time to sit in front of his door trying to talk to him for almost 5 hours! I sat my ass down in front of his door for 5 hours talking to myself in hopes he would talk to me and open his door! I am now genuinely worried. He's been locked up in his office all day. I even skipped my training to get him out of his office.
"Sinbad, please just come out. Me and Ja'far are worried about you," I state as I lean my forehead against his door. Still no response. I grab onto the doorknob hoping he would open the door.
"Open the door please?"
Then suddenly I heard a small clicking sound making me pull away from the door. I hear the door creak open to reveal a very tired and drained purple head king who looks like he hasn't slept for days. There were dark circles around his eyes and dark bags under his golden eyes.
"(y/n)..." He says my name dryly. I quickly swing the door open grabbing onto his hand.
"Ja'far!!!!!"
"Yes!" He magically appears around the corner.
"I want you to organize his work! I am taking him to sleep!" I shout at him as I drag the miserably tired king named Sinbad.
I quickly was able to drag Sinbad back to his room despite his small complains here and there you could hear how tired he was in his voice. I was able to ask him to lay down in his bed and get some shut eye.
"I didn't think you would want to lay on me while I'm like this. Such a naughty girl~" He states making me punch him right in the gut. He lets out a loud groan of pain.
"Now you can get some sleep!" I shout as I walk off without another dumb response out of his mouth.
"W...Wait... (y/n)..." Sinbad calls out to me making me stop in my tracks.
"Yes?" I look back at him. My eyes widen in surprise as I felt my heart stop.
"C...Can you please stay with me?"
"Huh?! Are you a child?! Why can't you just sleep by yourself?!" I retort pouting despite the warm wave of emotions over my heart.
"I like having someone next to me. It helps me sleep faster," He says as he reaches his hand out to me.
I let out a small sigh in defeat as I make my way towards him and I quickly sat beside him. He smiles as he intertwines our hands together chuckling softly.
"I knew you would give in."
"Shut up you. Or I will leave."
"Haha, don't leave meee~" He whines.
"Shut up already!" I pull the blanket up to his chest and pull on his left cheek.
"Yes ma'am."
He sends me a small smile with his golden eyes glazed with a hint of joy. They always seemed to have a magical glow about them. After a while, he finally closes his eyes. I listen closely to his breathing. I let out a sigh as I caress his cheek slowly then make my way to long soft violet hair.
[CUE SONG]
As I sang my little lullaby Sinbad gave into his slumbers and finally fell asleep. As soon as I finished the small song I hesitantly lean forward and place a small kiss on his forehead.
"Sweet dreams your highness."
