" Huh!!!!!!!!!" Cassy was so shocked that the 'huh' went on for few seconds.
She stared at the chubby, plumpy cheeks and his almost-about-to-cry face and cupped it with her hands.
Aspen : (〃ಥ 3 ಥ〃)
Cassy : (づ ↼_↼ )づ
Cassy barely knew how to console anybody (probably because she was isolated for so long and only method she knew was to hug them until they stop crying.) so, she hugged him and patted the back of his head and said " there-there now, Your Highness! Who said you're ugly ? You are the most adorable human I've ever seen.
Aspen felt like she just said that to console him and didn't truly meant it but he still felt happy thinking she might not hate him after all.
"Everybody calls me that. They said I am the most uglyest out of all the royal family." He tighten the hug as he said that.
" Don't listen to them!! Whoever called you ugly, their eyes are blind. They only saw your outer appearance not your heart. Cassy raised her voice in frustration.
" So, you don't hate me ?? Do you still want me ??" Aspen looked at her with pleading eyes, tears still sparkling on them.
* Ba dump * * Ba dump *
" Wait !!! What just happened ??? Why is my heart racing so much ??? Why does he look so adorable to the point, I want to bully him ?? Ugh!!! I want to pinch those apples so bad." ( she meant his cheeks, guys) She could've swore she herself never knew she had these weirdness within her.
She broke the hug and put both of her hands on his shoulders and said in a serious tone " you know what, no matter what other say, I would still want you, no matter how you look, I would still take you in and RAISE YOU." She said the last two words with such determination, it almost felt like she is some rich a$$ lady planning to raise young boys.
" Huh!!! What ???" Aspen asked with a blank face.
" It's already late so, let's not think too much and sleep, alright !! " Cassy said with a smile.
She said that then flopped on the bed along with Aspen after successfully changing the topic. Aspen was staring at her with a stupid smile which he doesn't seem to be able to get rid of. And on the other side, Cassy was hugging him and spouting on about random nonsense.
Like this, they both didn't even realise when they fell asleep.
* Middle of the night *
Cassy suddenly woke up and looked around and saw the same familiar room she was in before she fell asleep then, she looked at the man who was sleeping in her arms, the man has straight long black hair, sharp facial features and extremely muscular build ( like how you will look after you spend eight years in gym ) BUT WAIT!!! She is pretty sure she slept with her cutie pie before then, how is it there's a sexy guy hugging her now ???
Cassy suddenly had rainbow-coloured expression on her face. " Did I accidentally sleepwalked into somebody else's room ??? No! Wait!! This is my room so, it means this bastard is the one that sleepwalked here. If my cutie pie were to see me like this, will he think I'm cheating on him ??? Dear mother, Dear father, I'm so sorry, your daughter became unfilial without herself knowing it ! I hope you guys will forgive me !!!
She tried countless times to break the hug between them but every time, she would try to push him away, he would clutch even tighter.
Aspen : ( ↼_↼ )zzzz
Cassy : ᕦ( ಠ益ಠ )ᕤ
When all hopes ran out, Cassy finally decided to use a different method so, she gave a hard, strong slap on his sexy face which resulted in Aspen jolting awake and looked around in case, there's any monsters nearby.
" Wifey !!!" A soft, gentle whisper echoed throughout the room.
