"just pick the time, i'm down, i always do."
being a royal isn't all that magical. it's just annoying. you have none of your own agency, you're followed around all day, you always have to act and look perfect... it's so tiring. sure, you don't have to worry about not being able to afford things, but it sucks. living in so much wealth while others are dying sucks.
and it sucks that you can't do anything about it... except, you can. and you do. and that's your only joy in life.
your parents only trust you, their beloved royal child, with Felix. he's your best friend from another kingdom, one whom you supposedly can never marry, so it's fine if you're just harmless friends. your two kingdoms are on peaceful terms, anyway.
when Felix visits you once a week, you're allowed to leave the palace and be with him. it's the day you look forward to the most, especially because you give back to the community on this special day of the week.
there's no putting it simply. you both dress up as commoners and roam the streets, handing out large sums of money to people who need it. the money is a combination of your own allowance and the palace's money. it's almost like a robin hood situation.
"is the royal highness of this palace ready to embark on yet another adventure?" you hear Felix's deep voice behind of your bedroom.
the guard standing outside your door says, "prince Felix is here, shall i let him in?"
"of course," you say, and the doors open to reveal Felix, dressed all in white and not a single stain on hin despite riding his horse here.
"are you ready?" he asks with a grin, his blonde locks falling into his eyes.
"are you? you're not going dressed like that, are you?" you ask the boy, who shakes his head at you.
"stop playing, i know you have clothes ready for me in your closet," he says, walking over to find them for hinself.
"and what would you do without me?" you tease, also joining him in searching through your closet for some commoner's clothes, kindly donated to you by some of your servants and friends.
"i'd be living my best life," Felix says, jokingly.
you punch his shoulder lightly and he acts as though he's been shot.
"is everything okay, your highness y/n?" the guard outside asks.
"yes, don't worry! Felix is just being annoying," you say.
he sticks his tongue out at you and giggles, grabbing his clothes of choice and running to your ensuite to change.
he makes sure you're also dressed before he steps back into your room. as if you haven't already done this a million times, the two of you look at each other and laugh.
"you'd be such a heart throb commoner," you tell Felix as you fix his collar.
his cheeks turn red slightly due the proximity as he chuckles, watching your delicate fingers against his clothes.
"i'm already a heart throb now, what are you gonna do about it?!" he says after you move back, sticking his tongue out at you.
you wave him away and leave your room, getting ready to leave the palace. he follows you and the two of you talk the whole way into town.
the palace is far from town, another thing which you hate. it's to physically displace the royals from the rest and it's awful. still, you prefer getting there on-foot.
"i still can't believe some of the servants who make deliveries have to walk this long journey every day," you say to Felix, who casually pulls you away from a big hole in the path.
"it's the worst. and in the heat, too?! gosh."
silence evelops you both as you digest the moment, walking along this path with your best friend. suddenly, you start to think about how much Felix has grown up.
before, you were always defending him when you were both younger. he was always bullied for being too feminine of a prince and you despised everyone who thought so. now, he's stealing everyone's hearts with his gorgeous face and deep voice. you'd like to say you have dibs on him because you've always loved him unconditionally from the start but... why would you have dibs on your friend?
"y/n, do you know what rendezvous means?" Felix suddenly asks.
"of course i do.. it's french for appointment and means the same in english--a time and place for two people to meet," you say.
"i like that word a lot. it sounds so much better than appointment, meeting, or... well, anything else."
"well, that's random," you say.
Felix's deep laugh is contagious as you laugh along with him. you didn't realize how warm it is today, and appreciate the gentle breeze that finds you both in that moment.
"it's not random! i feel like we're having a rendezvous right now. this is our rendezvous," he explains.
for some reason, your mind goes blank. Felix turns to look at you and smiles when your eyes meet.
"and this is why you're stealing everyone's hearts," you say.
"everyone's except yours," he mumbles.
___☎️
finally, you both make it to town. it's as busy as ever with all the merchants selling their goods and people trying to bargain for a good deal.
"let's see who needs our help today," Felix whispers to you as he pulls you close.
you walk up to a stand and overhear a mother trying to bargain.
"please, i really need these herbs! my son is sick and i can't afford to pay for medicine. with these herbs, i can help him at least feel a bit better. please, i only have this much with me," the lady shows the merchant her money, but he dismisses her.
just as she turns to leave, Felix places a bag of money in her hands.
"buy the herbs, some medicine, and some good fruit. i hope your son gets better," he tells her.
she beams as she analyzes the contents of the bag.
"oh my goodness! young man, where did you get all this from?"
"don't worry about it. i can't promise i didn't steal it, but i can promise that no one will ever know," he says wirh a wink.
the lady chuckles and when she turns to pay for the herbs, both you and Felix rush off.
"i hope her son feels better," you say with a pout.
Felix pats your head. "i'm sure he'll be fine."
as you both continue to walk around, an old man calling to you both makes you turn around.
"you lovely two, would you like your fortune told? it doesn't cost much and it's very accurate!"
you and Felix look at each other.
"i don't believe in this stuff but let's give it a shot," he says.
you follow the man to his hut and he invites you to sit down.
"so, would you like to see your future in love, health, or wealth?" the man asks.
"love," Felix says without hesitation.
"ah, be careful if you are a couple," the old man says hesitantly. "if the fortune is bad, i am not responsible for a breakup!"
"ah, no, we're not a couple!" you say.
Felix's heart drops.
the old man smiles, reading the situation and after a moment of silence, reveals your fortune.
"i can see that the two of you are close friends, but there are different feelings blooming between you both. you're hesitant, wary of the other's heart. stop being so careful. your guess is right, just go for it," he says.
you choke on your own saliva and take hold of Felix's arm. "okay, that's enough! thank you, sir!"
you leave the hut and meet a Felix with a flushed face.
"hey, we're just gonna forget about that, right?" you ask, flustered.
Felix suddenly turns serious.
"and why should we?" he asks.
suddenly, his features harden. not in an angry way but in an incredibly handsome way.
"y/n, how can i just forget the fact that i've been loving you for an eternity?" he asks, reaching for your hand this time.
you feel your heart race against your chest and your pulse quickens.
struggling to find words, Felix continues speaking for you.
"i want my rendezvous with you to last a lifetime, y/n. can't we get engaged?"
you blink up at him, the pretty prince who has, unbeknown to you, stolen your heart. and just like that, everything falls into place.
as much as your robin hood rendezvous with Felix has always been about giving back to the community, it was also a lovely excuse to see Felix. Felix, your friend, your first love.
how could you say no? how could you say no to him, when you'd never in your dreams imagine him proposing to you like this?
"Felix.. you really like me? this isn't some lie just to not hurt my feelings? are you just trying to make the old man sound right?" you ask.
Felix shakes his head, caressing your cheek.
"you... don't love anyone else?"
"now why would i, y/n? we've both been silly, ignoring all the signs. let's stop it now, if you're ready," he says.
the wind picks up and it sounds as if the universe is screaming, begging for you to say yes. and that's your sign. that's the engraving of the rendezvous in the universe. an eternal rendezvous.
the second you hug Felix and rest your head on his chest, he returns your embrace and cups the back of your head.
everything finally feels right. you can see it, a future together with Felix in the kingdom where the divide between royal and commoner will no longer be so wide.
