Hey Vi! So to celebrate NIL passing 2500 browser views on Twine! (Yay!!) I just wrote down a drabble (does this count as a fanfic? Idk lol) which features 'that night' with my MC and Freyja. Hope you like it! Consider this my last entry for the NIL1KEntry! I'm posting this under a very short spell of bravery lmao or I'm really shy to do stuff like this. It's not that great but here you go before I chicken out:
A man and a woman, standing at the corner of the ballroom.
Could it be?? No. You've spent the last five years thinking what did you do to scare them... Scare HER away. You thought that when she said those three words back to you that night, that she meant them, as you had meant every single word you said that night, sitting with her beneath a never ending blanket of stars on a clear, beautiful night. And yet, her emerald eyes were too beautiful to even notice the stars above. You had wanted to lose yourselves in them forever, in fact you already had lost yourselves in those emerald depths so lovely and so hypnotic, you just wanted to tell her that. You remember being so nervous and thinking about ruining one of the best things you had in your life : Yours and Fre's friendship. It was this bond of friendship that had slowly turned into something else, something so much more intense. Had your father not encouraged you, you probably would never have confessed all that you had in your heart to her. That night, in those eyes, you saw your love being returned, and with just as much care and passion. The feeling of those lips on yours was the best thing you had ever experienced in your life. It was like coming home and all consuming at the same time. At that moment, you were the luckiest boy in the whole wide world. For you had found the one thing most precious : true love, in its purest form.
The very next morning that came after the best night of your life, you found a letter in your chambers. You had smiled and thought that it was a love letter by Fre. How wrong you were........
You had frantically started to search for Fre and Felix the moment you read that wretched letter. You wanted to know that what did you do wrong to scare her away, not just from the castle but from Castelon!
You didn't eat anything for the next two days. Your family had to try their best to get you to eat anything, something. Your father was just as heartbroken as you were. You wonder if he believes himself to be responsible for your plight by nudging you to confess..... But that was not true. It was you. It must have been you, who scared her away.
From that day forth, the gates to your heart have been shut tight and locked, with the key somewhere with a woman who has the most mesmerizing emeralds for eyes.... the very same emeralds, that were looking straight into your eyes right now.
You had decided, that you will not love another, lest you never be enough for them to love.... But looking into those gems.... You knew that you had no choice. You already were falling for her again.
OMG M - this is fantastic.
