(( Hey guys, thank you to those wonderful people who reviewed last time! I have taken your requests into consideration. I shall try and find a way for Finn to have ice-powers, I was thinking perhaps he could try on the Ice Kings crown and gain his powers too somehow? What do you guys think? Also, I will try to introduce Marcy to Finn, however I was wondering if I should wait until he's a bit older or introduce him when he's young? Also, would you like Finn older in the next chapter, if so how old? Anyhow! Thank you so much and as always, enjoy! ))
The next morning, the Ice King awoke to the sound of crashing, his brows furrowed slightly as he dragged himself out of bed. Looking out the window he noted it was about noon, it seemed he had overslept which was rather strange, considering Finn had mostly taken to waking him up early at the crack of dawn so he could play with him.
If Finn wasn't here then he was bound to be somewhere else and by the sounds of that crash Ice King better check it out. Ice King began wondering about the castle, he had to be honest he felt rather refreshed after the sleep he had but he also felt rather worries. Whenever he left Finn by himself, something always got broken, despite his young age, Finn had a habit of being rather rough with things.
Which is why the Ice King had to keep an eye on him often to make sure he was staying out of trouble. As the Ice King wondered, he caught sight of Finn soon enough in the hallway, accompanied by Gunter, he seemed to be whispering to his penguin companion urgently.
"What's going on here?"
The Ice Kings voice seemed to startle Finn and Gunter for that matter. Finn turned around, visibly relaxing when he saw the Ice King, "Oh, hey dad" Finn greeted casually, the Ice King noted he still had his ice sword with him and couldn't help but smile.
However, that didn't last very long when he saw something that once resembled a vase smashed on the floor, pieces of ice splattered across the floor. The Ice King folded his arms and Finn let out a sigh, knowing he was going to get told of for this but before the Ice King could say a word, Finn cut in.
"I know what you're thinking, dad"
He began, looking solemn, "First I would like to say-" Finn cut himself off, trying to find some excuse to why the item was broken. The truth was he had been messing around with his new ice sword and accidentally whacked the item to the floor causing it to shatter but he knew if he told the Ice King that he would get into trouble so Finn said the first thing that came to mind.
"Gunter did it!"
Finn exclaimed, pointing an accusing figure at the shocked penguin. When things go wrong, blame the penguin, typical. Ice King couldn't blame him though, he would of done the same thing in his situation, "Did Gunter really break the vase?" The Ice King asked Finn, to which Gunter shook his head as a 'no'.
Finns once confident features slowly shifted into a look of guilt, no matter what, Finn just couldn't lie to Ice King. "No he didn't" Finn admitted sadly, oh how it crushed Ice Kings heart to see him like that, "Why did you break it?" The Ice King asked him, kneeling down to his height so he could talk to him better.
Seeing the other wasn't angry with him, Finns expression returned to normal, he placed a hand under his chin as he tried to explain himself. "Okay, well, I was playin' with my new ice sword and I swung it to hard and it hit the vase and the whole thing fell over, me and Gunter we're gonna fix it before you woke up..." Finn explained, a small pout forming at his lips.
The Ice King nodded his head in understanding, "Alright, alright, I guess if it was an accident I'll let you off but try and be more careful next time, okay?" The Ice King replied, standing to his feet, Finn nodded his head as a yes which earns him a smile from the Ice King.
The Ice King was about to say something else but Finn beat him to it. "Hey, dad?" Finns expression suddenly changed, "Yes, what is it?" Ice King replied, a small smile on his features. "You think the next time you go out somewhere that I can come with you?"
The Ice King was taken back by his question, whilst it was true Finn had spent most his life in the Ice Castle he had never once expressed any desire to go outside. However, that was when the boy was a lot younger, but now he was growing up it seemed he yearned to explore.
The Ice Kings expression changed into one of worry. He knew, deep in his heart that Finn couldn't stay here forever but the very thought of him leaving was enough to make Ice King want to cry. Finn was more then company to the Ice King, he was a friend a son and if he had his way he would stay here forever.
Who knows perhaps the Ice King was over thinking things, after all it was a simple request and who was Ice King to deny him that? "Sure, I don't see why not!" The Ice King replied with a careless shrug, despite the fact he didn't feel so keen on taking Finn out with him.
It wasn't the going outside part that frightened the Ice King, it's the people outside who worried him. The Ice King wasn't known for having the best reputation in Ooo if people found out Finn was his son, they might start treating him as bad as they do him, then again the Ice King had done a lit of things to give him the reputation he had today.
Finn, however, had a clean slate if you will so maybe things wouldn't be so bad after all?. When hearing the Ice Kings reply Finns expression lit up, a huge grin was plastered on the boys features as he proceeded to jump up and down with glee. "Yes! Thanks dad!" He replied cheerily.
Instantly the Ice Kings worries melted away upon seeing his reaction. "You're welcome, Kiddo" he replied, ruffling the boys hair, something he often did. However, there were still doubts lingering in the back of his mind, not everyone was as nice as the Ice King when it came to little kids, infact some people were plain mean.
Not to mention, all the monsters that inhabited Ooo, was it truly safe for Finn to be out bad about?. Of course he wouldn't be alone but if anything were to happen to him Oce King wouldn't be able to forgive himself.
Though he knew he wouldn't be around to help Finn forever but that didn't stop the worry building up when he thought of what lies ahead in Ooo.
