Chapter 17! Milori gets to go to the warm side! Hope y'all like it!
Chapter 17
The next Tuesday couldn't come quickly enough for Clarion and Milori. Clarion had a wonderful time in winter, and couldn't wait to take her lover around the warm seasons. Although it worried her, she trusted Milori and promised to take him. That Tuesday, they met early in the morning before sunrise.
"Ree, why did we have to meet so early?" Milori asked as he kissed her cheek.
"Because, one of the most beautiful things in the warm seasons is the sunrise!" She gently took his hands. "Milori, honey, are you sure you want to cross? We can spend the day in winter if you would rather." She looked at him with one emotion; concern.
"Yes, Clarion, I am completely set on coming to see your world. Now we better get going or we are going to miss the sunrise." He took a step over the border and kissed her brow. "You have nothing to worry about my love." He whispered gently. Clarion smiled and looped her arm is his. Together they walked to sunflower field. Clarion wouldn't allow Milori to fly, so it took longer than usual to get there.
"Hold on." Clarion instructed Milori. When he had her wrapped in a tight embrace, Clarion flew to the top of a rainbow. "Are you too warm?" She felt his forehead.
"Ree, I'm fine!" He said playfully. He pulled her into his lap and they watched the sun rise together. "It's so amazing." Milori stared at the sunflower field as rainbows appeared left and right, and as the sun began to rise above the horizon.
"Sometimes I come just to see the light reflect of the new rainbows." Clarion whispered as she cuddled close. "It's so simple, yet complex and beautiful."
"Just like you." Milori whispered back before kissing her. They pulled back just as the sight ended. "What's next?"
"Rainbow riding!" She said as she sat in his lap. He hugged her from behind and they slid down the rainbow.
"That was so much fun! Can we do it again?" Clarion chuckled and they flew to the next rainbow. When they had ridded every rainbow they walked to the beach.
"This is the beach." Clarion said as they walked onto the sand. Milori bent down and picked up and handful of the tan sand.
"What is this? It doesn't look like the other ground." Milori let it slip through his fingers.
"That's sand!" Clarion pulled Milori down and they sat side-by-side. "You know how you can make things with snow? Well you can do the same with sand!" She began to build a castle. "They are called sand castles." Together they build a one of a kind castle.
"This is so cool!" Milori looked toward the ocean. "That is a lot of melted ice!" He got up and walked to the edge; it was cold water so he walked farther in to cool down.
"It's called water!" Clarion said rolling her eyes. She picked up her dress and followed her boyfriend. "Is it cooling you down?" She wrapped her arms around him.
"Very much. Maybe we can stop throughout the day at other melted ice." Clarion giggled at Milori's plan.
"That's a great idea honey. And it's called wat-er!" She spoke slowly and in a mocking tone. Milori rolled his eyes and swiftly picked her up bridle style.
"Milori!" Clarion whispered screamed as he ran out of the blue ocean. He sat her down once they were by their castle again.
"You know that wat-er," He mocked her, "It reminds me of your eyes." He kissed her gently and they walked to Springtime Square.
"This is Springtime Square!" Clarion gestured to the bright and colorful area. "Come here!" She dragged Milori to a bed of flowers.
"Those are flowers!" Clarion laughed and picked a Calla Lily. Milori bent down and picked a tulip. "What kind is this?"
"That is a tulip, and this is a Calla Lily." Clarion smelt her flower, and then held it for Milori to smell.
"Those are your favorites right? Golden Calla Lilies?" He looked hoping he had guessed right.
"Yes! I can't believe you remembered!" Clarion gave him a small kiss on the cheek. "How would you like to see the rest of Pixie Hollow?"
"I would love too." He wrapped one arm around her waist and they began the tour of the warm seasons. Clarion took him all over Pixie Hollow, pointing out her favorite places.
"The autumn woods are the best place to leaf surf, the summer meadows is the best place to dragonfly race…" She continued on and on; Milori let her tell him everything because he loved every second of it. They walked to a small stream and Milori wadded in. Clarion sat on the bank and watched him play with the tadpoles. "Would you like to learn to water ski?" She asked as she pulled two twigs out and called over a fish. She made the skis and showed him how to do it. He got on and Clarion told the fish to go. Milori stood and rode the water.
"Look, Ree, I'm doing it!" He smiled brightly but soon fell into the water. Clarion quickly flew over and helped him up. She pulled him to shore and laughed.
"You sure did do it darling!" He rolled his eyes.
"Do I get to see Mary's workshop?" He stood and hugged her, getting her wet.
"I almost forgot about Tinker's Nook! Let's go! Maybe I'll be dry by then…" She added in and she led him to Mary's workshop. "Mary!" Clarion called out. They found Mary working hard on pots and pans.
"Ree! I told you the pots will be ready when they are ready! Please stop rushing-" She stopped short when she looked up to see the winter fairy. "Milori?!" She couldn't believe it. "How are you here?!"
"I just cool of in melted-I mean water." Clarion playfully elbowed him. "I wanted to come see my favorite tinker fairy!" Mary began to show him around Tinker's Nook, adding in a story or two about Clarion's finer moments. When the tour was finished Clarion took Milori to the Pixie Dust tree.
"This is where all the Pixie Dust comes from." She walked to the pixie dust and placed her hand under it. She sprinkled a bit onto Milori and smiled.
"I never thought I would see the Pixie Dust tree! No winter fairy has ever seen it!" Clarion laughed.
"It really isn't much. This is where new arrivals come and I greet them. It is so much fun; it has to be my favorite part about being queen." She led him to a stairwell. "Would you like to see the rest of the tree?" Milori nodded eagerly.
"What room is this?" They stood in a large room that had a vine ceiling and wooden walls. It had a large table with many chairs.
"This is the meeting room. It's where I meet with the ministers and the head talents." They walked to the other rooms; Clarion gave quick descriptions of each. They had just about finished when Milori noticed a set of stairs.
"Where do those stairs lead to Ree?" He began to walk up them.
"Those lead to the bedrooms." He stopped in his tracks and turned to her. "The minsters are on the first floor, mother's and spare bedrooms are on the second, mine is the top floor." She clarified. "Would you like to see?" She walked up to him and took his hand. They walked to the top floor and opened Clarion's door.
"I think I remember it from the first time I came." He said with a small laugh. "Although we weren't here long." Clarion laughed to and sat on her bed. "Your room is very nice."
"Thank you. You can sit if you wish." Milori smiled and walked to a chair and sat down. "I meant with me silly!" Clarion giggled and blushed slightly. Milori looked at her surprised, but went and sat by her. He was on the other side of her bed, so Clarion crawled over to him. She sat as close as she could and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Clarion?" She looked up at him. "Can I kiss you here?" She cracked a smile and kissed his lips.
"I thought you would never ask." They kissed again and she straddled him. "Is this ok?" She asked as she placed her hands on his hips.
"Quite…" He replied before kissing her. Their tongues entered each other's mouths and soon they were out of breath. Milori began to kiss Clarion' neck and she gasped when he brushed 'that' spot. He kissed it over and over again, causing Ree to moan.
"Milori…" She whispered. He stopped kissing her and looked into her bright blue eyes. "Please…" She said before kissing him again.
"Please what?" He asked as he kissed her. He gently nipped at her bottom lip, making her shiver.
"Please…touch me." She whispered. He didn't need to be told twice.
A while later, Clarion laid with Milori in her bed. She couldn't help but smile as she cuddled closer to the sparrow man she loved. He smelt like an evergreen forest and she love it. Milori kissed the top of her head.
"Are you awake darling?" He whispered to his lover. She replied with a kiss.
"Are you cold enough?" She cupped his face in her hands. He nodded before kissing her. "Well, what should we do now? We still have plenty of time before sunset." She sat up and Milori pulled her against him; her bare curves to his bare muscles.
"What do you like to do? You're the warm fairy, not me." He rubbed her back as he spoke.
"We could go to butterfly cove to see the butterflies, then we could go ride the mice. Maybe we could eat at the diner…" She thought out loud.
"I think that is a lovely plan…you know I've never seen a butterfly before." His hands slid down to her waist.
"Really? Is it because winter is too cold for bugs?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his torso.
"Exactly; how are you so smart?" He let his hands drop lower and she tensed. A moment later, however, she relaxed and kissed him.
"I guess I just am." He laughed and kissed her.
"Do you know how you are so beautiful?" He asked, making her blush and look away. "Because you are the most beautiful fairy in all of Neverland." She smiled and kissed him before getting up. Milori gave her a confused look.
"You'll never see a butterfly if we sit here for the rest of the night!" She grabbed her dress and changed. Milori followed and she slid her hand up his chest. "Ready?"
"Ready!" Clarion and Milori walked out of her bedroom and went down to butterfly cove. They sat on a flower and watched butterflies fly around. One landed close and crawled to them. They tried to pet it, but it only flew away. Clarion explained how butterflies behaved, along with other bugs. They walked along and rode the mice before eating dinner.
"Milori dear, are you feeling alright? You don't look very well." Clarion sat her fork down, which still had a piece of her salad on it, and went to Milori. She placed the back of her hand to his forehead. "Oh darling you are burning up! Let's go!" She pulled him out of the diner and began to run to the border.
"Clarion it's ok, I'm a little hot, but nothing to worry about." As he spoke though, he lost the feelings in his wings. They could only hope they make it to the border in time.
