The Broken Prince

"Fera!" The other woman spoke as she waved her hands.

"Ah, how long has it been sister?" Mother answered. They both smiled at each other. The other woman who looked very familiar looked at me before smiling.

"Hade has grown to be a fine boy hasn't he?" She commended truthfully.

"And this baby right here hasn't change at all." Mother spoke as she look at the person behind the woman.

"Dear, come on out. Say hi." The woman instructed then came out a boy. My heart thumped loudly as our eyes met.. He's here. The boy from before. A smile immediately was etched on my face as his cheeks blushed crimson red.

"Hello." He spoke with a shy stance. I smiled and walked closer.

"You haven't change at all, crybaby." I said and hugged him immediately with a warm feeling. He looked taken aback but after a while, his hands circled around my waist as he nuzzled his head on my chest. He still smells the same. Still looks the same. And the feelings he makes me feel are still the same.

"I missed you." I whispered as I nuzzled by nose on his hair. He feels like one of those comforting toys you need when you need a break. Warm and just makes makes you happy. I could feel both of our hearts beating together in symphony.

"I-I missed you too." I melted even more as soon as I heard his voice. Sweet and caring. I hugged him tighter as I cherished the feeling despite this being a dream. If this is a dream indeed, I won't mind being asleep forever as long as I am with him and mother. I feel like I have done enough. The kingdom has started to become stable and I think they would be fine without me.

We released each other from our long embraced and looked at each other with a smile. U couldn't help but just smile and stare at him without a word and then ruffled his hair to which he whined at.

"What? I used to do that every time back then." I laughed as I looked at him. He scrunched up his nose and then smiled at me with his hands clamped together on his abdomen. Dear god, please don't wake me up.

"How come you're so tall nowww?" He asked with those starry eyes. I smiled and just, ugh. I don't know how to handle him at all. I just smiled and scooped him off the ground then twirled him around to which he squealed at. I imitated him and then we both feel to the grass as we laughed. He was on top of me and was breathing really hard from all of that laughter.

He sat his chin on my chest as he looked at me, his eyes glowing still. His nose fitted perfectly on his face as his lips were to make every woman jealous.

"Stop looking at me like that. You look too pretty." I stated as I placed my hand on his back. We laid in silence with the wind blowing through the fields and the clouds passing above us. Everything was like back then. It was perfect.

"But how are you so tall now?" He stated after a while. I chuckled lightly and looked at him. The side of his face was laid on my chest as he looked at the vast field of flowers that seems to welcome us as they were glowing and were dancing gracefully with the wind.

"So that I can protect you." I stated simply. He hummed and spoke no further. I looked at him silently as he looked at the horizon. He definitely has grown but he's still the baby I used to protect and will continue to protect. He became more pretty and if the world insist that he's not, I would burn it into ashes. I had both of my arms circled on his slim waist. He was wearing a thin white shirt and loose white shorts, both paired with a simple slipper. I noticed that I too was wearing the same, but mine was in black.

"I have a question." He said and held his gaze back at me.

"What is it baby?" I answered softly as I caressed his face. He leaned into my touch and closed his eyes.

"When are you going to marry me?" I was stunned by his question. I was thinking that he'd forgotten about that but to my relief, he still hadn't.

"Well, I still need to make you my fiancee first." I said with a chuckle. He stood up and looked at me with a pout. Ah, there goes my sanity.

"Then when are you going to make me your fiancee?" I laughed and stood up. I went closer and held his face with both of my hands and kissed his forehead.

"Close your eyes first baby." I said to which he followed with a giggle.

I held both of my hands and summoned my power. A small ball of blue fire was levitating on both of my hand then it slowly descended back down and revealed a ring which had a fish tail at the other end and a red diamond enclosed at the other end. The gem sparkled under the sunlight making it standout.

"Open your eyes now." I spoke after I made sure I was on my knees, holding the ring that I am about to offer to him.

He opened his eyes and gasped. I could see the tears in his eyes threatening to fall which made my eyes tear up. Well, I guess it's time to say those words.

My heart was beating abnormally as my blood surged throughout my body. The boy whom I have only met one time but came to have treasured for a long time.

"How long has it been since we've seen each other? It was when you would always cling on me and whine if I don't play with you. I remember that you irritated me the first time we met but I fell to you overtime. Many years has passed and I thought that we would not see each other and our feelings would change, but I am glad that they didn't. Glad that they remained the same and I am glad that they brought me here."

I smiled warmly at the pretty boy who was now crying. His tears fell to the ground as so did mine.

"It's funny and stupid at the same time, when we haven't even spend that much time together but here I am on my knees, proposing that you live with me till forever. I love your eyes, they make me feel like I am not alone, I love your lips because they say the things that makes me happy, love your smile cause they could make my day, I love you as a person because I know that you complete me. Many years has passed and many things has happened, I wish that I could tell you everything that happened but that would take us forever."

I released a shaky breath as I looked up to him with teary eyes.

"Even if this is a dream, I would still ask you. The boy who owns my heart, the boy who has all of my love and dreams, the boy who I fell in love with back then, the boy who enclosed me with his little hands and to the boy I would want to spend my whole life with, Fin, will you be mine forever and marry me?"

He looked at me while still crying. He childishly wiped his tears away as he kept getting choked up in his tears. My heart melted even more as he nodded. I smiled and took his hand. I slowly slid the ring on his ring finger. I stood up and cupped his face with both of my hands and closed the distance between our faces.

"May I?" I asked. He looked at me while blushing which made me want to kiss him more.

"Y-Yes please." He answered. I smiled at him before I continued to lean into him even closer.

He closed his eyes and so did I. Our nosed touched and a streak of electricity ran down my spine. My heart was beating so fast but everything went calm and in peace as soon as both of our lips touched.

His lips were warm and soft. They tasted like candy, the one that we would both eat back then. My hands fell down and encircled his slim waist as I deepened our kiss. I sensed that the both of us were running out of breath so I took the initiative to pull away. He looked very flustered and was breathing heavily. I smiled at him but he was feeling quite shy as he looked away from me but was now holding both of my hands.

I smiled and held his chin as I turned his face towards me.

"Why hide such pretty face Fin? Or should I say, Alexander?"
