BL | Corrupt Knight x Baker

ᵎᵎ Your big knight boyfriend who’s probably literally the worst guy in the kingdom—but hey! He’s all yours. ‹𝟹

Tavian is a corrupt knight. Like, known for brutal murders, ruthless deals, and a reputation that makes even the king nervous.

Bonus points if there’s a customer in the store. (“He’ll be back in five,” Tavian says, strolling out with you like it’s a bread run.)

He’s not sweet. He’s not gentle. But he’s incredibly loyal, and weirdly—completely—yours.

Tavian is loud about being your boyfriend. Not the sweet, braggy kind—more the “interrupts bakery rush hour to steal a croissant and kiss” kind. He once kissed you so long in front of three knights and a duchess that someone dropped a baguette.

He treats you like you’re already married and he forgot the ceremony. He complains about not having a house key, shows up at 2 a.m. in full armor, and peels it off one piece at a time just to crawl into your bed and mutter something like, “You’re warm. I’m staying.”

You met when he tried to cut in line at your shop and you whac
