Thanks for the reviews.. My first language is Chinese and usually I write fictions in Chinese, only recently I began to write in English.
The plot was generally decided before I start to write this, its probably just three to four chapters long, unless something better came to mind.
Little did she know the result of her actions when she handed him the blue feather. It was awkard, she wanted him to accept the feather even if it's not for proposal. The blue feather brings happinies, she wants him to be happy, and whether his happiness involved her or not was a different story. If she had a choice, she wanted him to take the feather as a proposal gift, but for now, a plain gift to a friend is enough.
Lying on her bed, Hikari felt extremely tired mentally. She didn't want to burden him with her affection towards him, but the emotion grow too big inside her that if she didn't express it in someway, she's afriad that she might explode.
"Finn, are you awake?" she wispered, hoping that he is. Finn is the only one she can talk to about her emotion other than animals.
"Yes, what is it? You really should get some rest." Finn said in a sleepy voice, it was obvious that he wanted to sleep more than listening to her problems.
"I love him, always did and always will. Good night, Finn." as she said good night, she rolled around and pulled up the blanket to cover her head. Finn was then wide awake and starts to interigate her, she decides to ignore it...for now.
The next morning when she woke up, the weather was extremely gloomy, the wind roared and rain was pouring from the sky, at least she wouldn't need to worry about her crops since it is nearly end of summer and she already cleared out the land to get ready for fall.
After attaining to her animals, she had little to do but watching TV and trying out new recipies. Recently Marimba Farm had sent her a letter telling her there are some new product for sell. As she looked at their catalogue, she was supprised that they sells perfect grapes all year around. It was the ingredient to make one of Ignis' favourite cocktail, Grape Cocktail.
Although it is much easier to just by it from Brass bar, but she always enjoyed making any gifts that went towards him, even knowing that the aging process for cocktail will ignore the quality of the ingredient, she still uses the best ingredients she can get her hands on.
She sat on the table waiting for the cocktail to finish aging, she wondered what is he doing at the moment.
He was conflicted with different feelings, it is obvious from the storm. The weather always reflected his emotions. He wanted her to be here, wanted to see her smile and listen to her voice, but he doesn't want her to risk herself in going to the mine in this weather.
He knows the mine can be dangerous to a human, but to tell the truth, he did not know what kind of danger it was. Although he often wondered about it, but had never seen the inside structrue of the mine. He looked down from his throne at the path to the mine, curiousity drove him get up from his throne and walked towards it.
As he was walking down the icy stairs, he suddenly realized something which he never had thought of before. How dangerous is it for a tiny human like her to be walking on slippery, snow covered stairs? Her weight must have been too light to remain stable when walking on those stairs on windy days. The thought of her possibly falling from those stairs made him nervous.
And as he went inside the mine, he was supprised at how much different it is than what he had imagened. He thought it would be brighter, and he never thought there was so much trap and pitfalls in each floor. After investigate three floors, he immidiately decides that it is definitly not safe for her to come to visit him by journey through a mine in this weather condition..or in any condition.
He didn't hesitate another moment and teleported towards her farm.
When he arrived at the farm, he walked to her house. Earlier she had told him about how she requested from the Carpenter's to change her house's decoration. Although he isn't a big fan of pink, but the warm colour reminded him of Hikari. The thought of her made him smile, and the sight of her empty house raised his eyebrows.
As he opened the door to her house, he was greeted by one of her pet dogs. The dog turned and chased its tail, then barked happily. "You know me?"
The dog barked again, he understood what it was trying to say. The dog's owner, Hikari has obviously told her pet about Ignis. "Where did your master went?"
The dog whined in a pitiful voice, he noded as he was told that Hikari was making her way to the mountain top to see him, and left a while ago. After obtaining this information, he patted the dog and left her house.
After leaving her house, she thought that maybe it's not a good idea to pay him a surprise visit in this weather after all. She looked up in the sky, and decide to use the teleport stone to safe her some energy. To her surprise, The Harvest King who never leaves his throne was not there.
Thinking he shouldn't take long to come back, Hikari wanted to give him a surprise and hided behind his throne. But after one hour of waiting, she was getting tired from the rain and hiding, had fallen deeply to sleep.
And he sure was surprise when he saw her sleeping behind his throne with a grape cocktail in her hand..except not a good kind of surprised.
"Hikari, wake up." He softly brushed off the rain on her cheeks, it looked like tears, he doesn't like the sight of tears on her cheeks. Her face is pale and she barely had any temperature left, except her forehead was almost burning. She opened her eyes, but before she could respond, he lifted her up and held her in his arms without giving her the chance to refuse."You are fevering, I'm taking you home."
Shocked at how light she is, he closed his arms tighter around her, treating her like she like an extremely fragile and valueable art work. He teleported back to her house, and sat her down on a chair. He doesn't know how to treat someone that is unwell, himself had never been unwell before. He paniced a bit, and nearly asked for Hikari's pet dog for help, but Hikari got up from the chair before he made a fool of himself.
"Hikari?" He wasn't sure if she is capable of walking, as she looked like she was sleep walking and is not aware of her condition. Her cheeks is rosy as ever, and her eyes are watery. She walked towards her dresser and took out a piece of clothing which seemed reasonable enough for sleeping in.
Right, he thought, changing out of the wet cloth would be a good idea, at least she still knows how to take care of herself.
But the thought didn't last long. She didn't move to the empty room, but start from her T-shirt until she's down to her under garmets, taking off and changed into dry clothes right in front of him.
How he wanted to be a gentlemen and at least turn around to pay her some respect, but the thought was simply crushed by the sight of her smooth skin and nice figures. He never knew his face can burn this much and now he is sure that he does have a heart, because it must have been beating really fast to make him hard to breathe.
Hikari didn't realise that she striped herself and changed in front of someone she had feelings towards, and walked towards the bed, mumbled good night and fall into deep sleep.
