a/n: i literally love this trope it's my absolute favorite! thanks for your request

your fingers tapped against the book laid in front of you. your tutor was going on and on about the dull allegories hidden within the text, but you couldn't be troubled to pay much attention. 

she was coming back. after many restless nights, you finally got a letter delivered addressed to you detailing where exactly she was. 

if she was correct in her estimate, the group she was with should enter the palace any time now. at the latest, another hour or so. your heart swelled at the prospect of seeing her again.

your tutor clicks her tongue as she sees your eyes wandering out the window, "my lady," your head twists back to look at her, "looking out the window will not bring her any faster."

you lay your head on your hands with a sigh. there was truth to her words but all you wanted to do was will the knights to arrive, "i just pray they are safe, that is all."

she chuckles at your words, "i know your true intentions."

it wasn't said in a malicious manner, you knew she would never mean it like that, but it still made your heart pick up speed. falling in love with a knight as a princess was taboo enough. but with a woman knight? it would be hard for your to fully explain that to people. 

"there they are!" she blurts suddenly while clapping her hands together. you jump out of your seat and scramble over to the window.

she was there in the front, riding in on a beautiful white horse. you couldn't see her face due to those stupid metal headgear. it was for her safety, but you were selfish. all you wanted was to see her freckled face. you were going to have to be a little more patient.

you look over at your tutor who gave you a knowing nod. she was telling you to go ahead. the books scattered on your desk were the last thing on your mind as you scurried out of the room. the hallways were bustling with maids and medics dashing to tend to the knights.

you weave through the crowd of people, trying to hide a smile that was pulling at the corners of your mouth. 

your friend, who happened to be a maid, stops you with a giddy expression, "come over here!" she whispers while pulling you into a concealed corner.

"dina," your hushed whisper vibrated between the two of you, "i must go! i have to see her this instance or i will seriously explode." 

she laughs, "i know, i know but," her face turns more solemn. worry spread through you, "i must let you know that she was injured."

you twist to try and get out of the corner but dina was stronger than she looked. she kept you firmly in place, "i have to go!"

"it was nothing serious!" her words cause your wriggling to stop, "she just has a slight scar on her face now. that is what i have heard from the medics."

"oh, dina. i don't care about that."

dina pats your shoulder, "yes, i'm aware. ellie can do no wrong but i just didn't want you to be stunned," she pushes your shoulder slightly, "now go see her."

not wasting a second, you dart back into the hallway, breaking through the flow of people. you had to get your tree soon or she would have to go back to training without even getting to see each other. you could not let that happen. that would be a fate worse than death for you right now.

when the outside air rolls onto your skin you feel a sudden relief wash over you. only a couple more strides and she would be there, waiting for you. the thought made you giddy.

as you breached the top of the hill, you saw her outline staring in the opposite direction of you. she was looking out on the small village you were one day going to rule over. your heart hammered against your chest. she was as gorgeous as she was when she left.

you take a couple more steps before calling out, "ellie." she jumped at your voice before turning around. 

her face scrunched as if she was in pain before engulfing you in her arms, "it felt like i waited for you for an eternity out here."

you take a deep breath, reveling in how her arms felt around you, "dina pulled me aside. i would've gotten here faster if i could have."

ellie laughs and you could cry at how the sound made you feel, "that girl is always causing trouble." she pulls you from her chest so she could look at you.

your eyes go to the scar that starts at the top of her eyebrow and ends in the middle of her cheek. your fingers ghost over the healed scar. ellie smiles gently at the soft way you treat her.

"a knife wound," ellie speaks causing you to jerk away, "i let my guard down."

you rub her face and she leans into it as if she had been starving for your touch, "even with a wound like this you are still the most sensational human i've ever seen."

she shakes her head, "clearly you haven't seen yourself," her hands grab at your waist, "i missed yo-"

a booming voice echoes throughout the hill, calling for your perfect knight. she curses as a tinge of regret flickers through her eyes. ellie looks at you apologetically but you understand.

"i may have looked at the schedule of the knights," ellie looks impressed at your act of deviance, "i expected this. you may go, i am just elated we got to spend some time together."

ellie lands a kiss on your cheek, brushing your hair out of your face, "expect to see me tonight, my beloved."

who all wants to be on the taglist for falling in love at a coffee shop? i'm working on the next chapter so requests will be coming out a little bit slower while i work on it <33

thinking of ellie as a retail worker...

she would actually hate the job and her life so much. before every shift, she has to sit in her car and pray that people don't try her. every day is one day closer to her snapping at a customer.

something about having to refold and refold and refold walls of jeans makes her want to bash her head into the wall. when she shows her manager and they say, "one more time. they still look messy." she thinks about walking out. (she doesn't) (curse having bills and responsibilities)

she especially hates having to be nice to the old ladies who are nothing short of hateful. ellie hates the way they look her up and down, acting as if she isn't a human. whenever she helps them out as soon as she is out of eyesight, she's rolling her eyes and mumbles to herself how she hates her life.

ellie wouldn't be the best at greeting either she would just give a simple "hey" and that's it. her managers would 100% get onto her DAILY about it saying how she needs to be more enthusiastic.

the worst part about it, no competition at all, is the fact she has to listen to the same 10 songs for her entire 7-hour shift. her head pounds at how loud the music is. she feels sick whenever she hears the opening to "new rules" by dua lipa. her head spins when her manager decides to turn it up more because it apparently "wasn't loud enough."

(this was entirely indulgent i am a retail worker and imagining ellie as one is the only way i keep sane)
