13-In A Fairy Tale
Hey guys! Sorry this took so long! I have end-of-the-year tests, and I can't fail them, soooo...yyeeeeaaah.
Anyway, here you go!
The sky was blue, and there were white puffs of clouds in it. A breeze blew its way through the wondrous land of Ninjago.
A young maiden by the name of Nya wandered through the forest, searching for edible berries for mother's pie. Picking her way through thorns and thistles, until she came upon a waterfall. It rose around twenty feet, and traveled through what looked to be a weathered cliff, and it poured into a spring, its water clear, crisp, and bluer than the sky. She gazed in wonder at it.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
The voice jerked her out of her wonder, and make her jump. She lost her balance, then almost tripped into the spring. Her descent was stopped by a strong arm, which gently brought her upright.
Her eyes were wide, peridot gemstones staring in stupor at the man holding her so close to him.
He looked to be around her age: eyes the color of emeralds, hair the color of coal. She could feel blood rushing to her cheeks. Nervously, she stepped back and he released her, biting her lip and tucking a strand behind her hair.
"Oh! I...didn't mean to startle you!" He said, urgency evident in his tone. "It's just...I've never anyone else out here. Are you alright?"
A small chuckle escaped her ruby lips. "Oh, um, yes, sir, I am fine! It's really fine! I shouldn't have been spacing out anyway."
He only smile, tiny dimples in the corner of his smile. Suddenly, he kneeled down before her, taking her hand and giving it a small, chaste kiss.
"I am Prince Cole!" He said, resisting a small laugh from her confused expression.
"O-oh, y-you're the p-prince?!" She asked, seemingly in a debate about what she should do and say. He rose and smiled down at the bewildered woman.
"And you are...?"
She snapped out of her daze. "I am Nya."
"Nya," he repeated, studying her eyes, "well, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm at your service, madame!" He announced, then bowed down dramatically before her. She giggled, then he rose once more. "Nya. Your name sounds familiar."
A dash of red was dusted on her cheeks, as she stuttered out words.
"Ah! You're the princess of Ignacia!" His smile grew wider as she blushed furiously. "I didn't think I would get to meet you in person." When she tilted her head down and averted eye contact, he reached out and took her chin in his hand, lifting it up so her eyes would meet his. Her peridot-colored eyes stared back up at him.
Her blush deepened, and she murmured out a thank you. Many of the suitors back in Ignacia called her beautiful nearly every day, but none of their compliments meant as much to her as Prince Cole's had.
He dropped her chin, then stepped back. She released a shaky breath, then intertwined her hands together. The prince's gaze lingered on her. Nya could tell he was debating something, until he finally gave up. She noticed how his lip was twisted into something like a resemblance of a pout, which made her giggle slightly.
He asked, "So...it's a beautiful day today. Would you like to accompany me on a walk?"
...
After secretly meeting with the Prince for a week or so, the relationship between the two took a turn.
They were both perched on a chuck of rock which hung next to the waterfall. There was a groove in it big enough for the both of them to fit, but was very crowded. At first it was awkward, but they grew used to it the more they got to know each other. When Nya peeked over the top, she could see the spring which she would tumble down to if she were to fall.
Cole seemed to be more contemplative than usual lately. She looked over at him, placing a hand over his. He shifted his gaze to her.
"I love coming out here with you," he said, sliding over to make room for her as she curled up next to him. He didn't let go of her hand.
She nodded in agreement. "I enjoy getting away from the duties of being heir to the throne. It's nice to be with someone who understands what the pressure is like."
There was a hopeful expression in his eyes. Words struggled to jump out of his mouth, eyes shining.
Nya giggled. He was too cute when he was confused or thinking. The twitching of his mouth was too tempting for her to resist.
She smiled, then pulled him to her. She forgot that they were on a cliff, and she rolled. His nose collided with hers, but they both lost their balance. Together, they tumbled into the spring.
Nya came up sputtering water and apologies, face as red as a tomato. Cole popped up next to her, spitting out water. His face lit up when he saw her, and they swam to the shore, where Cole shushed the stream of apologies tumbling endlessly from her humiliated lips with a proper kiss.
As soon as their lips connected, the embarrassment and the tightness in her own chest were shoved out of the way by a calming sensation that made her heart melt. Her chest and stomach were flooded by this feeling. She could hear her own heart pumping faster and faster as his rough hands pressed themselves into her neck, his thumbs resting on her throat, feeling her quickening pulse. Their eyelashes brushed together a few times as his tongue managed to slip past her melted defenses. She granted him full access.
Eventually, the sensation faded and they pulled away, gasping for air, only to collide again after they took a sufficient amount of breaths. This time, there was more tongue action as his hands crept around her waist. Straddling him, she kissed him harder as a burning desire in her chest spread across her body, sending a strange shiver down her spine.
Cole pulled himself away from her reluctantly, taking her by the shoulders and pressing his forehead against hers.
"Nya," he whispered, "come home with me. We...we could rule Ninjago together."
Processing his request, she bit her lip. She could deal with her family later. She nodded.
"I'd like that." She whispered.
Hmmm...how was the kissing part? I want to work on my make-out scenes cuz I suck at those. :/
