Chapter 175: Achroous (EP. 06)

Instinctively, he pushed her closer and she gasped slightly in surprise when he did this, but nevertheless she liked it. Her hands deftly dropped from his face then to his own fingers.

She pulled him towards the water, their now wet feet being gently cradled by the firm waves, but the force wasn't enough to move them from one place to another.

Putting his arm on her waist and placing her hand on his shoulder, with their hands finally interlocking, the promised dance soon began.

Aiden's clearly mesmerized. Here, enveloped in his arms is a girl, whose look didn't shift from anything far from loving. Catching the moment of how he gawked at her in awe, the angelic woman giggled in hearty amusement.

Her laugh immediately swept away his breath. Clearing his throat as an attempt to seem more manly, he twirled her and blushed when he actually had the courage to slowly dip her down, but not so low enough for her cascading braid to touch the uneasy salt water.

Pulling her back to her original position, they danced around the shores a little more.

His eyes went glossy for a short while when she finally ended their session, and the returning fear of her departure throttled his neck. Not letting go of her dainty fingers, he squeezed her hand and uttered an intelligible whine that urged her to stay.

Feeling flattered, the girl nudged their foreheads together and stared at his longing eyes, admiring the endless pools of green they possessed. Due to his taller height, he calmly placed his chin on her hair and stroked her free platinum blonde locks.

Internally he slapped himself for being too forward and too casual, but everything felt so natural.

Parting his head from the top of her own, he found the driblets of tears rolling down her face and wondered repeatedly if he had done something wrong, fortunately his delusion was finally silenced when he noticed, she's actually smiling.

"I love you, Aiden. Let's continue to sleep together under the stars, let's sit and kiss beneath a tree—Let's breathe together, grow old together! Now and forever!"

Eyes widening at her sudden proclamation, he took a step back and their interlaced fingers loosened. Shock contorted his face, and he almost jumped when he heard the momentous whispers.

"Thank you. For taking me to see them. The stars."

"Your arms feel like home."

"My tomorrow has always been you."

"You are the air that I breathe."

"You are my epiphany."

"I am your Magic Shop."

"Thank you for existing."

Holding his trembling hands as tightly as she can, the girl could only cry in euphoria as the man agonizingly dispersed into ethereal glows of pink, floating aimlessly to ascend up to the skies which opened the portal to reality.

Once he blinks, he'll be home by then.

"I wonder, when will you let me do more of the saving, my lovely wife?"

That voice.

Chills descended down her spine, and for the first time in her life she could barely squeak a word. Frost instantly coated the stem of the daisy, but thankfully it didn't reach the petals.
Her body perked up at the sound of his alluring voice, it came to her like a sweet rhapsody.

Bottom lip quivering, she slowly turned around, lachrymose blue eyes meeting renewed luminous green filled with life. A toothy grin meets a thin line, but it soon morphed into a dazzling curve.

"H-hi," Elsa flashed him an overjoyed watery smile.

Guffawing in tearful disbelief, the King of Arendelle ran at his full speed and engulfed the Snow Queen's petite body with his arms, letting her bury her nose on his broad shoulder.

"Hey yourself."

Laughing joyously, Elsa's hands glided from his shoulder to his neck and pushed his head closer to hers and soon, their lips united in a passionate reunion. Aiden melted into the kiss and deepened it a bit, before running his thumb under her chin.

"You're... Y-you're back.."

"Yes, I am."

"You can, you c-can feel."

"Yes, love, I can," Aiden chuckled.

Elsa couldn't halt her sobs, "You're not mad at me?" "And you aren't to me?" "No," "Then of course I don't to you. After what I tried to do to you, how could I?"

"You tried, but I completely did," Elsa shamefully bowed her head. Lifting her head and kissing her cheek, Aiden brushed his lips against her knuckles and assuredly whispered, "No, you didn't. All we have is now, snowflake. Please forget what occurred.."

"Just shut up and kiss me, you fire producing idiot."

"Yes ma'am!" Aiden playfully saluted and gladly obliged.

And as the two lovers met in a loving embrace, only one thought lingered in Elsa's mind.

You are real.

And never will she doubt those words again.
