Hey everyone! Finally my computer is working so I can post stories any who… I'm not going to write long chapter stories because I have school and lots of tests, so for now I'll be writing cute one-shots. Enough with my talking let's start the story…
Clarion's Birthday Surprise
It was a beautiful autumn day, a very special day for a certain queen. Milori and Clarion were peacefully sleeping in the queen's bed. Milori and the other winter fairies were able to cross into spring thanks to the special amulet Tinkerbell had found. The Lord of Winter fluttered his eyes open to see the sleeping queen in his arms and he couldn't help but smile at her. The couple had first slept together a couple of nights ago in the Ice Palace…
Clarion and Milori were enjoying each other's company in Milori's room. They were sitting on a teal sofa in front of a fire Milori had set up to keep his love nice and warm. Suddenly Clarion broke the blissful silence.
"Milori, I really should start to head back." She said. " It's almost too dark to see." Milori looked out the window near by. She was right; it was really dark. If he took her back there is a risk of him not making it back and if he let her go on her own there was an even bigger risk of losing her, he was taking no chances.
"Love I'm sorry but I can't take you back it is far too dangerous." Clarion looked into the eyes of her beloved sparrowman, she could see worry and concern in his eyes with a hint of fear.
"Well where can I stay?" She asked. Milori pulled her close and began to brush his cold lips over her neck making her gasp. He smiled against her skin and continued to kiss it.
"How about here?" Clarion blushed at his words. She wanted to stay more than ever but she knew she couldn't. The fairies wouldn't react well to it.
"But-" Clarion was cut off by a raise of Milori's hand.
"No Clarion, I'm not risking it. You mean too much to me. I love you." With that he leaned down and kissed her ever so gently.
"Okay…I guess it wouldn't hurt. But as long as the fairies don't find out." Milori nodded in response and carried her to his bed and covered her with a thick blanket. They fell into a blissful sleep in each other's arms.
Milori continued to stare at his lover as she slept. 'She is amazing' He thought. 'How did I live without her for so long?' Clarion began to stir and she fluttered her eyes open to see the Lord of Winter staring at her. Her lover.
"Good morning Milori" she smiled. He returned the smile as well, for he knew what day it was.
"Hey there birthday girl," Milori said beaming at her.
"Oh My Frost!" She giggled. " You remembered?"
" Of course I did; September 25th" Milori exclaimed. Clarion giggled and he couldn't help but fall in love with her more. Clarion couldn't take it she leaned up and kissed him.
" This birthday is going to be the best!" Milori chuckled at his loves excitement.
"What makes you think that?"
"This will be my first birthday since we were reunited, silly" She giggled at his slight embarrassment.
"I guessed I asked a weird question huh?" Clarion firmly nodded her head making a smile curl its way to his lips. The royal couple got up and got dressed and headed down stairs hand-in-hand to have breakfast with the Ministers.
"Good morning Ministers!" Clarion exclaimed happily and smiling big. Her smile had everyone smiling in seconds. Milori pulled out a chair for his lover and sat down beside her pulling her a little closer in process.
"Good morning your highness." Minister Autumn replied happily. "Oh! And we wish you have a pleasant birthday this year." The food was just brought out so Clarion was pushing it around her plate when he was speaking. Her head shot up.
"You all remembered too?" She said wide-eyed. They all nodded their heads at their queen causing a soft giggle to escape the fairy queen's mouth. Milori smiled at this. He loved hearing her laugh, to him it was beautiful.
"Um…Queen Clarion?" Minister Summer began. Clarion looked at her with a warm smile, letting her know that she could continue. "We have given both of you the day off." Clarion looked confused yet happy but Milori was just looked puzzled.
"Why are you giving me a day off? It isn't my arrival day." Milori said utterly perplexed.
"Well…" Minister Winter began. "We guessed you two would like to spend some time together on her highnesses special day." Minister Spring frowned at this; he was known to have a major crush on Clarion. Both Milori and Clarion smiled at what Winter had just said. They were finally going to have a whole 24 hours to spend together. "And don't worry about the Winter Woods; I'll take of everything over there." She concluded.
"Thank you Ministers!" Clarion beamed. " You know you really don't have to do this."
"Of course we do!" Minister Summer exclaimed. " You two work far too hard. You deserve a day to yourselves." Everyone smiled and continued to eat. Milori then leaned closer to Clarion's ear.
"I cannot wait to spend my day with you." He whispered in a seductive voice. His lover couldn't help but smile at his comment. She rubbed his leg as she leaned over to his ear.
"Oh, I know." After breakfast the Ministers and the royal couple parted their ways. The lovers walked back up to their room. They knew one thing was that they wanted to cuddle on the sofa together. While they were sitting Clarion got up.
"Where are you going my love?" Milori asked as he watched the woman he loved looking through her bookshelf. Clarion smiled at him as she sat back down with him, holding a book in her hands.
"I was wondering if you could read to me." Milori looked at her confused so she explained. "I just love hearing your voice it's like… I don't know…perfect. Just perfect." Milori's heart melted at her little speech. As a thank you he leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss. He then took the book from her and looked at the cover.
"Everything you would want to know about snowy owls." He read. He turned with a mix of happiness and confusion. "Why did you select this book?"
'What? You don't like it?" Clarion asked nervously. Milori shook his head and gave her a gentle kiss upon her honey tasting lips.
"No, I love this book." Clarion smiled at him. She snuggled closer to him; her head was resting on his strong chest while one of his arms wrapped around her shoulders pulling her closer. "So… shall I start?"
"Of course darling."
"Okay then… Chapter one: A White Feathered Beauty…"
As the royal couple enjoyed their book completely peaceful the Ministers were having some trouble-ruling Pixie Hallow and the Winter Woods….
"Will this color do for the roses?"
"How many rainbows do we need to make?"
"What type of snowflakes shall we create?"
These were just a few of the questions that could be heard from the large crowd of sparrow men and fairies surrounding the poor Ministers. Soon enough Snowflake (Minister Winter) had just about enough of the annoying questions. She turned frantically to different directions of the crowd when she heard a question. She started answering the questions that could easily be heard (the ones listed above)
"I don't know…I don't care…and seriously all you need to do is make them different!" She exclaimed clearly annoyed with all of them. Sunflower (Minister Summer) turned towards her with an are-you-serious look.
"You seriously expect them to know what to do when you don't even answer their questions?" Snowflake was about to answer back but before she could Sunflower already knew her answer. "Properly." Snowflake huffed in response.
"We could ask Queen Clari-" Hythicath (Minister Spring) began but stopped mid-sentence because of the way the others were staring at him.
"We cannot ask for their help. I mean we told them they will have a day off and we need to give them that day off. Plus we would look so foolish for not standing by our own words." Redleaf (Minister Autumn) explained to the others. They all nodded in response.
"Your right Redleaf." Snowflake said. "I mean I wouldn't want to bother them today…Mother Dove only knows what their doing." The others laughed at her comment.
"I wonder what they are doing right now…"
"I wonder what the Ministers are doing right about now," Milori suddenly said. It had been a good few hours since he had read to her and now they were cuddling in bed. It was near sunset by now.
"I don't know dear. I bet Hythicath is in such a panic attack. I mean he asks for me everyday." Clarion giggled causing Milori to chuckle even though he didn't know why.
"Would you like to go for a picnic my dear?" Milori asked hopefully. Clarion thought for a moment before nodding happily. The royal couple walked down stairs to the kitchen and grabbed some food and drinks. They placed everything they needed in a basket. They then made their way down to Swans Lake.
"So my love, how has your birthday been so far?" He asked his lover as they sat eating while looking at the swans in the lake.
"It's been the best!" She exclaimed. "Because I'm spending it with you." Clarion nuzzled her head into his neck as he drank some of his lemonade. He smiled at this; Clarion's presence comforted him beyond words.
"Are you enjoying your salad?" Milori asked as he snaked his arms around her slender waist. Clarion gave him a cute smile before replying.
"Oh yes. But do you know what would make me enjoy it more?" Clarion asked in an adorable voice that Milori couldn't get enough of.
"What?"
"You feeding it to me." Milori gave her a cheeky grin before pulling her into his lap. Once she was comfortable he began feeding her slowly and lovingly. He even held her glass for her as she drank her lemonade.
Once they had finished eating the simply sat there watching the sun illuminate the lakes water and the swans swimming on it gracefully. The day was soon coming to an end but Milori knew it wasn't over until he gave her her birthday gift.
"My love?" Milori asked. Clarion looked into his deep brown eyes.
"Yes dear."
"I have something for you." With that Milori put his hand into the picnic basket and pulled out a box wrapped beautifully in silver wrapping paper and done with the most perefect ice blue bow. Milori handed her the box. "Happy arrival day my darling." He gave her a gentle kiss.
"Oh darling, you shouldn't have." Clarion sighed looking down at the gift in her hands.
"Go ahead, open it. I want to see if you like it." Milori couldn't hide the excitement in his voice. Clarion gave him a peck on the cheek before starting to carefully undo the bow. Once undone she began to unwrap the box revealing a red, velvet box. She carefully took off the lid and immediately let out a soft gasp.
"Oh Milori…" Clarion said happy tears forming in her eyes. She lifted the object from the box and held it in her hand. Milori had given her a necklace. But this wasn't just any necklace; it had a charm on it with an autumn leaf and a snowflake together. The edges of the leaf were done with tiny rubies and the edge of the snowflake was done with tiny diamonds.
"Do you like it?" Milori asked giving her a kiss on her cheek." Clarion turned to face him.
"Like it? I love it!" She exclaimed. "Darling this must have cost you a fortune." Clarion looked deep into his eyes. She was right Milori had spent a great amount of money on the necklace.
"Dear you are worth it." Milori simply said. Clarion leaned in and kisses him passionately as the sun set. The royal couple remained there. Once the pulled apart Clarion spoke.
"Would you put the necklace on me?" She asked cutely.
"Before I do I want to show you something on the necklace. Clarion looked at him confused until he flipped the charm over. Imprinted on the back was 'Forever'
"Oh darling! You are the best boyfriend I could ask for!" Clarion said throwing her hands around his neck hugging him tight.
"Do you still want me to put it on you?" Milori asked breaking their embrace. Clarion nodded and handed him the necklace. Milori carefully place it around her neck.
"I love you Milori." Clarion said with love in her voice as she faced him.
"I love you too." Milori responded pulling her closer. She lay her head on his chest as the watched the sunset.
Nothing could ruin the moment. And nothing did.
