Fairytale AU - Mickey & Minnie

[princesswhatshername]

No one had ever seen the royal family, not unless they were super important, super rich, or some combination of the two. Minnie was neither - when it came to the social ladder, she wasn't just the bottom rung, she was probably below the ground holding it up. But she never complained - she was content with her life, and didn't crave anything more... except maybe a nice boy to spend it with, but beggars can't be choosers. Nice boys were hard to find nowadays. Most in the village were rough with roaming eyes, and Minnie couldn't see herself spending time with any of them.

Besides, there were bigger things to worry about these days. Word was that outside the kingdom, dragons had been spotted! What if they invaded the kingdom? Then again, no one in the village had ever seen a dragon... or faeries, or sprites, or nymphs, or anything else magical. So when Minnie's cat had run off into the woods, she didn't fear any of these things, trying to find her little baby before it got away too far.

"Figaro!" She called out, trying to find her beloved kitty-cat. "Figaro, you naughty boy, where are you?"

The good news is that she found her cat.

The bad news is that she also found the dragon. A scream of fear echoed throughout the forest...

Mickey grinned as they approached the house. Not helping but giggle with her, "Maybe I should surprise you with a flower something each time too~"

[princesswhatshername]

"I love flowers, how did you know!" Minnie twirled around, clasping her hands together. "But I bet you can't guess my favorite."

[kingdomkeyd]

Mickey tilts his head, "Well I can try and guess hmm, is it a rose?"

[princesswhatshername]

"Yes!" Minnie swung her hands around joyfully. "They're sooo romantic! Sometimes I'll sow a few fresh petals into the dress I'm working on, just to keep the scent around."

[kingdomkeyd]

Giving a bright smile as Mickey gestured. "They I will bring you one for each visit so your gown will be decorated to your taste, but if you ask me," leans in and winks, "You're already beautiful."

[princesswhatshername]

"Oh, you!" Minnie wound up pushing him a little. "You're too good to be true! I bet you say that to all the pretty girls." She had a feeling he didn't.

[kingdomkeyd]

Mickey gave a giggle, shook his head, "Aw, nah. Haha, I think you're the first gal that caught my eye like this."

[princesswhatshername]

"If you keep saying sweet things like that, you'll spoil me rotten!" The edge of the kingdom was in sight now, and Minnie began to tug on his hand even more, as if ready to show him off in front of the whole kingdom. "C'mon, we're almost there!"

[kingdomkeyd]

Mickey nodded as he followed her. Then gave a warm smile as they managed to enter her place finally. "You got a wonderful view from your home too."

[princesswhatshername]

Minnie nods in agreement. The villagers don't even seem to notice anything has happened, going about their busy days as the marketplace opens. "Sometimes I make sure to wake up early so I can watch the sunrise touch the kingdom..."

[kingdomkeyd]

"Sounds lovely, usually the morning is when I'm the most busy so I can attend to my duties," Mickey says not really thinking on the context.

[princesswhatshername]

Minnie turned to him, curious. "Oh? What kind of duties do you have? Aside from saving maidens from dragons, of course."

[kingdomkeyd]

"O-Oh I u-uh..." Clears throat as he rubs the back of his neck. Quick think something stupid! "Um knight... things... like fighting, chivalry, yea those things!"

Nailed it.

[princesswhatshername]

Now that... made Minnie's head tilt. That sounded more like what a knight was, not what a knight did, as if he was struggling to remember what someone else had said.

"Fighting... you mean, like fighting bad guys?"

[kingdomkeyd]

Gives a nod, "Y-Yeah! Gotta always be prepared for that after all!"

[princesswhatshername]

Minnie frowned. Something was a little off. "Are there really that many bad guys in our kingdom?"

[kingdomkeyd]

"Erm well... Depends on the day...? U-Usually not but, y-you never know heh..."

Please oh please fall for that.

[princesswhatshername]

Now he was just contradicting himself! Minnie tilted her head left, and then right, studying him with utmost suspicion. "Sir Mickey... is it possible..."

"... That you've never talked to a girl before?"

[kingdomkeyd]

"Wha-I-N-No I was just-!"

[princesswhatshername]

"It makes perfect sense!" Minnie still didn't suspect for a second that Mickey wasn't a knight. He was just girl-shy, that was all!

"I guess it is hard to meet girls when you're busy being a knight, you probably have so little time for dating."

[kingdomkeyd]

"Huh, o-oh-!" A quick recovery as Mickey took a breath. That was a close one! Then gives a nervous nod, "Y-Yeah, I never really could get myself to talk to a girl I liked b-before haha... That is, until today, h-hope I'm doin' ok am I?"

[princesswhatshername]

Minnie snuggled up to his arm, giving his hand a squeeze. "You just need to relax... There's nothing about you I could possibly dislike."

[kingdomkeyd]

It was at this point Mickey's cheeks grew warm, both from guilt and from the happiness of being around her. He looked down shyly as he chuckled softly, "O-Oh Minnie... Th-Thank you..."

[princesswhatshername]

By now they had entered the kingdom, and a few heads began to turn. Some blinked and squinted, thinking Mickey to be familiar, they just couldn't place where. Minnie never seemed to notice. "We're almost at my house! I'm sure you have to go back on your knightly duties soon..."

[kingdomkeyd]

Mickey noticed that, holding up his collar to try and hide his face more. As he held himself closer to Minnie, "Y-Yeah, lets try and go quickly then..."

He totally doesn't want to be noticed, but nope can't say as to why.
