Chapter 191: Unheard

"You really shouldn't have left me without a note, it may be winter but it can rain too, you know."

Still speechless, the king of Arendelle blinked at his wife blankly, overly stupefied.

Elsa slung an arm around her spouse's neck. Having a six feet and three inches husband, she stood on her tip toes and directly looked at him in the eye, scrunching up her nose in wonder as her eyes wandered across his face.

"Who are you and what have you done to my husband? You look like the prince I met long ago."

"I literally just went out for a trim and you react like this," The fire king pouted, "Do you not like it? Is it not to your tastes?"

"You're too handsome, basically," Elsa giggled, "But.. Are you sure you're no doppelganger?"

"If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to crawl in a hole and cry now."

"Ooh, come'ere you," Elsa laughed, kissing his cheek assuringly, "I'm only kidding, sweetie. I love it. It brings out your eyes more... I'll only react with dissatisfaction if you decided to grow out a beard because if so you won't receive any kisses. I'm not a big fan of facial hair."

"Noted, baby," He smiled, "Shall we?" He outstretched his arm only for her to take, and so she did. Giving the elated barber his utmost gratitude, the royal couple made their way through the exit.

The coach gently opened the passage and allowed them in, welcoming Aiden to a dimension of expensive leather and its intoxicating scent. Sitting on the seats, Elsa instinctively scooted up closer and locked her arms around her husband's massive torso and sighed contentedly.

His head dropped idly on hers, and the ice queen accepted his gesture.

"You.. You fetched me."

"Mmh," She hummed.

"While it's raining."

She chuckled, then he held her hand like how he would the world.

"T-thank... thank you. Very much."

"You're acting really funny today."

"Am I?" Aiden tearfully guffawed, squeezing her closer, "Sorry. I'm just.. somebody actually cared about me when it's raining. You see, when I was still a child, I often see fellow children get fetched by their mother, father, whatever weather it is."

"Go on," Elsa smiled.

"I wanted to feel what it felt like to be cared about if it'll be hard to go outside. Like.. That person is willing to risk it all for you," The King of Arendelle puts an emphasis on his last sentence, "And you did... you do not know how much this means to me, Elsa."

"Then... May I have the honor to fetch you everytime it rains?" His wife bore a significant grin that would last for eternity in his mind.

"Of.. Of course," There were pointless tears cascading down his cheeks, but he couldn't care, "I would do you too, I will, and I promise."

The snow queen tightened her arms around him and pressed a meaningful kiss on his lips, there was always something she couldn't quite put a finger on that entices the bubbly swell in her chest whenever she's around him.

His eyes shut tight and more tears became present, and hushed sweet nothings of comfort greeted his ears.

Aiden... He never really had a proper childhood.

Usually children were supposed to view life as a tiny form of paradise where rainbows lived, and ice cream were better than gold. But as a young prince, Aiden saw life far from such, he only saw a cruel world filled with sugar coatings, lies and competition.
