{UPDATE: Milori was always good, he and clarion just pretended to hate each other. When Clarion and Noah were 'married', instead of signing a marriage certificate, Noah signed a document selling his soul to clarion, he was too drunk after the party to notice.}
10 minutes later~~
Milori rolled off clarion. They were both so tired after their coupling. Milori reached up and turned the shower off. The two just laid there. "I missed this" clarion said as she turned to face milori. Milori smiled at clarion before gathering her in his arms and wrapping her in a towel. Clarion and milori just stood in the bathroom and talked while they dried off and got ready for bed.
Milori walked into his room and went to grab something out of the chest of draws,when he heard a knock from his main bedroom door. He shot clarion a look saying 'Quick, go hide'.
Clarion disappeared through the bathroom door shadow and teleported back to her room. She lay down on her bed and looked to the ceiling, thinking about tomorrow.
Meanwhile, In Milori's Room
Milori opened the door to see serenity. 'Ugh, why at this time of night?' he thought.
"Hello milori, i just came to say sorry for threating to fire the ministers, i mean, i get that they're really close to you, but-"
"but what? i have known them a lot longer than i have known you."
"im sorry, i can make it up to you though..." serenity put her hands on his chest and beagn to caress him. but he pulled back.
"Serenity, i told you, i will not make love to you before our wedding night."
"well with clarion here, we aren't going to be able to have a wedding night. She is clearly jealous that you love me."
"She is married! Serenity, it has come to my attention that since the winter fairies have a new ruler, that i need to accompany Mary and Clarion to the mainland, just for the week."
"what?!" she fumed. Just then clarions door opened.
"excuse me, but if you two could quite down, im trying to sleep, and its already getting late."
"You put her in the room across from yours?!" Serenity looked between the two.
"that's always been her room" milori informed.
"But you told me that i couldn't have that room because it was already occupied."
"yea, it's my room!" clarion then slammed the door.
"you are not a part of this conversation!"
"go to bed serenity, it has been a long day," milori closed the door. serenity yelled out in frustration.
THE NEXT MORNING
All the winter fairies were ready to leave to go to the mainland. Clarion was fixing the harness on fable, to make sure nothing would fall off during the flight. Milori was also helping by securing everything to the owls for the other fairies. Clarion smiled at his fatherly actions, making sure that the fairies would be safe.
All of her winter fairies were buzzing around the winter woods. it was around 5:50 am and they were leaving in 10 minutes. Sled then walked up to her.
"lady clarion, uh- i mean queen clarion, we are ready to leave, if you want to leave a tad early," he informed her.
"thank you sled. tell everyone we are leaving."
"of course." sled then walked away to tell everyone.
Clarion was about to get onto fable when two young fairies stopped her. Tinkerbell and periwinkle.
"Hi queen clarion!" Tinkerbell said.
"Hi girls, you know you can call me just clarion."
"Oh, well, hi clarion! uh, we need to ask you something."
"Sure, what is it?"
"well, we were wondering if i could come with the winter fairies to the mainland to help deliver winter" tinkerbell asked.
"do you have frost fairy dust? if so, then of course you can!"
"Yay! thank you!" both the girls hugged clarion. "Your welcome girls." Tinkerbell and periwinkle let go of her and went to join the line, ready to take off.
Clarion jumped on fable. she was wearing a simple olive-green shirt tucked into her black jeans. she needed to be comfortable for the 2-hour ride.
"uh, clarion, can i ride with you?" she heard milori ask.
"Of course, but what will serenity think?"
"If she asks, i will just say its because i had no other way of transport, and couldn't waste pixie dust."
"good thinking."
Milori hoisted himself up onto fable and he sat behind clarion.
If they were being honest, the journey to the mainland wasn't that bad. Clarion and milori talked a bit, but not too much, they didn't want the fairies to get the idea that they liked each other. And of course, some fairies giggled about the fact that they were sharing an owl and were very close.
The week was a long one. Clarion and milori helped Mary adjust to her new role. When night came around, all the winter fairies would gather around for a dinner each night. Songs were played, stories were told, campfire treats were made. Everyone got along perfectly.
Every night, the winter fairies would retreat to tents, or an allocated room underneath the tree. Fairy camp was almost like the pixie dust tree. There was rooms and corridors underground just in case it rains and the fairies couldn't sleep in tents. But no one acctully slept in the tents.
As for the royals, they would sneak into each other's rooms at around 2am in the morning. they would talk and gossip about the day, and occasionally made love quietly. Then go back to their own rooms and pretend nothing happened.
Breakfast was usually quiet since everyone was usually half asleep.
It was around 1am, the night before everyone left the main land to go back home. everone was asleep, all except clarion and milori. Clarion snuck into milori's room, they had just made love, and were lying next to each other, enjoying their time together.
"I wish we could run away together, no responsibilities, no kingdoms, no evil lovers, just us."
"I wish the same, but we can't, they will find us." clarion said solemnly.
"I can't wait for this to be over."
"me to my love, me too."
