Lost

The past into the light

Everyone took the information at different paces, Frost had taken it hard. They had shut everyone out for the rest of the day. Tommy seemed about ready to beat someone, no one deserves to be treated like that. He said if the Queen were to show up he'd punch her in the face. Ian doubted it but agreed. Wilbur took time for himself, to go over everything he's learned. Everyone else gave their remorse to Ian, and apologized. Ian had long forgiven them. 

Frost was curled in a ball looking out at the glowing lake. It was pretty, the grass they sat on hurt due to the hard ice that formed. Ian told them it was rare to get any type of element, they are very powerful thats why they can't control it yet. They can't wear shoes because they just freeze. The ground doesn't hurt them because it's always frosted, but its just annoying.

Their eyes landed on the ice, thinking. Wonder filled them as they stood up and made their way to the water.

"Ian says focus so." They cleared their thoughts only focusing on the energy to their feet. Slowly walking onto the water. It crysialized under their feet, Frost smiled. They walked slowly at first making sure they don't fall in, then ran. Giggling they slide around on the ice. Frost nearly fell in hearing a gasp from the side of the pond.

A boy stood with a multi colored hoodie with a swirl in the middle. He had brown fluffy hair with matching eyes. His eyes sparkled in amazement, as he watched Frost closely. He flushed pink realizing Frost had caught him watching.

"Hi there." Frost spoke slowly walking towards him. He watched their feet, before responding. "How are you doing that?! Is it a weapon enchantment?" He asked enthusiastically. Frost shook their head, now standing a couple feet in front of him.  He wasn't much taller than them. 

"It's a periment potion effect, do you want to join me?" It would be nice to finally talk with someone who wouldn't judge them. He smiled widely and nodded like crazy. Frost walked up to him, they could do this. Gently they grabbed his hand pulling him on the ice. He was absolutely mesmerized, watching them. The physical touch felt nice for once.

"Im Frost" They said sliding with him across the ice, he was clinging to their arm to not fall. They giggled at him. "Hi I'm Karl!" He chirped, trying to avoid falling.

"I haven't met you before, aren't you from Dreams team?" They questioned. Karl steadied himself huffing. He nodded silently.

"Have you ever ice skated?" He flushed embarrassed and shook his head. Frost chuckled. "Neither have I, well not as far as I know. Wait stay their I wanna try something." Karl froze in place. They slide over to him, telling him to sit down. He did as told. They held onto his shoe, with pure focus made a ice skate. It was a little wonky, but the second one was straight.

"Woah! That's incredible!" They smiled nodding, grabbing his hands they helped him up. He stumbled around falling down, Frost cringed. "Ouch,,," Karl got back up.

"Could I...Lean on you for support." Their mind flashed to Tommy, shaking it off they nodded grabbing his arm. 

Over the next hour Karl got the hang of it and was skating on his own, Frost had made a pair of skates on their feet. The cold didn't effect them so it didn't hurt. They talked about whatever giggling and knocking each other over. It was one of the most fun things Frost had done in a while, they missed this. Well not missed because this was their first time.

Karl and Frost laid on the ice looking at the sky, in a comfortable silence. It was warm enough that Karl was at all cold even with Frost constantly making ice around the pair. A small tug in their stomach felt bad, because no body in L'manberg had bothered to see if they were ok. It was irrational because they had run off alone loads of times. It just stung a bit.
