I don't own the Sisters Grimm.
Okay, I admit it: I am a horrible person. I'm sorry guys; school is just being really mean right now. I've been swamped in homework and I've barely had time anything else. But, I'm off for the next 5 days! So, hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in 15 chapters. So be ready for an on slide of chapters!
New Faerie
Sabrina's POV
Puck and I were walking awkwardly to Central Park; skirting around each other and barely talking. I frowned as I looked up at Puck; he looked distant and awkward. Why were we like this? Puck and I were actually on good terms...shouldn't we be laughing together? Or arguing? I sighed, why were we like this?
"What's wrong, Grimm?"
I looked up at Puck again, "Nothing, it's just...when did we get weird like this?"
He frowned, "What?"
"Look at us! We just walked for 10 minutes and haven't said anything to each other."
"Yeah...it's been a long time you know..."
"I guess. But let's just go back to the usual. Insult me, Fairy Boy."
Puck rolled his eyes, "If you insist Dog Breath."
I smiled, "That's better. Gotta joke?" I asked when we came to a stop at the gateway to Faerie.
"Please, you're insulting! I'm King! I don't need jokes to get in my own kingdom!"
"Alright, Stinkpot. Go ahead." I rolled my eyes, but Puck smirked mischievously before grabbing me by the waist and walked straight into the statue of Hans Christian Anderson.
I squeezed my eyes shut and fully expected to slam into solid bronze. Beside me, I heard Puck laughing. "You can open your eyes now, Grimm."
I cracked my eyes open, before fully opening them to take in the scene. The streets were clean and the buildings looked a lot better compared to their former patched up state.
My eyes were wide as I turned to Puck, "Did you do this?"
Puck smiled and shrugged, "Yeah. My father wanted this place to be just like old Faerie, but he was so caught up in tradition that he didn't know how to do that. I decided to change it for the better. Everafters were on the streets, half-starved. Their children were uneducated and it was just horrible. So I drew some gold out of the Royals bank, Mom wasn't so happy about that, and built schools rebuilt shops and homes and cleaned it up."
I smiled, "Who are you and what have you done with Puck?!"
Puck laughed before shoving me a little, "Watch it! I'm King!"
I laughed, "Who knew the greatest villain was so caring."
Puck shrugged again, "I've always cared about my kingdoms. I didn't like seeing Faerie in the slums. Anyway, I've made enough gold travelling and fixing problems and the Royals have enough gold as it is. The money had to go somewhere. Now stop, this is too deep and gushy for me."
I rolled my eyes, but smiled anyway and let Puck drag me to the palace. Which now loomed just overhead and glittered prettily in the sunlight. As we passed Everafters bowed to Puck, their King. Puck stood straighter and puffed out his chest a little. I rolled my eyes again, but smiled a little. It was a good to see the old Puck.
I looked up at Puck again. I noticed that he looked like a real king; a real, responsible, and caring king. "You changed a lot."
Puck looked down at me and shrugged in response, "I guess."
I smiled before turning my attention to the Everafters bowing down to Puck. I blushed; this attention was strange to be in. Puck noticed my discomfort. "What's wrong?"
"Do they have to bow and stare?"
Puck laughed, "You deserve it with saving them and setting them free."
"I didn't save them. Daphne did. And setting them free wasn't a big deal."
Puck laughed again, "If you say so. This is nothing compared to what would've happened, though."
"What do you mean?"
"There's usually a big parade and everything. But, I decided I didn't want one."
I raised my eyebrows, "Really? Usually your ego demands it."
Puck shoved me a little as he laughed. "Nah, they take forever. Besides, I rather be home with Marshmallow, Psycho and you."
I smiled as he said this and a warm feeling swept through me. "Don't expect us to fawn over you."
Puck rolled his eyes, "Wouldn't dream of it."
I laughed before saying, "Nervous?" We were reaching the palace gates now.
"No. It's just my mother. Worst thing she can make me do is sit though court. If I have to do that, you have to suffer with me."
"I doubt they want me here. I'm just a human."
"You're an Everafter. And if anyone's thinking like that then I'll deal with them. You did a lot to improve the Everafter world; and they need to respect you for it."
I looked up at Puck surprised, he looked sharper and bolder. He had regained his king-like aura; with his jaw pulsing slightly and squared shoulders. "Thanks, Puck," I said smiling.
Puck looked down at me before smiling back, "Well, I have to do something to make people notice my victories," he said regaining his usual cockiness.
I laughed, "All right Stinkpot. Let's get this over with."
Puck laughed with me before signally the guards to open the palace gates.
A/N: That took a lot longer to write than it should. My computer's kinda crazy right now and keeps resenting me. But, no worries! I shall, hopefully, get in 15 chapters! I liked that, to be honest. Some good old Puckabrina friendship fluffiness with slight romantic tension. It's adorable. Review please! And forgive me! :D What do you think of King Puck of Faerie? I love him. Honestly, he's awesome. I've always suspected Puck to have this secret love and pride for his kingdoms. Tell me what you think in the reviews!
