Falling for a King - Trollex x Human OC

Chapter 4

As a version of a Spice Girl's song began Ash glanced at the queen of rock wondering if she could go with Queen Barb back to her city, the queen looked like she also had enough of pop for the moment and was fairly sure the queen would be okay with it. Though, would it be rude to ask?

The red-haired queen noticed her and waved. "Hey!"

Ash waved back and started walking to the queen. "Hi."

"What's wrong?" Queen barb raised a brow.

Ash sighed, "Honestly, the pop music is becoming a bit too much."

Barb grinned "You know, I was thinking. Are you sure you're not at least part rock troll? You have the tattoos, you like rock music, and your name is Ash."

Ash laughed at the comment. "Pretty sure, my dad is really into rock though." Her father had always been played eighties rock music while going on about how the music these kids nowadays are listening to is nothing like real rock music.

Barb held out her guitar. "Can you play?"

"I cannot." Ash shook her head.

"Oh, maybe I can teach you! It'll be a nice break from the pop music, right?" She laughed and Ash had to agree. Though she doubted she could properly learn from the troll. Their hands were completely different, and trolls only had four fingers. But Barb was right, it'll be a nice break even if it's only listening to Barb play.

Star jumped as a neon flash suddenly appeared beside her. She almost scolded the techno king for scaring her, but then she remembered she doesn't really know him, and he is a king. Disrespecting kings isn't something that anyone should go around doing freely.

Despite appearing beside her, he didn't say a word. Instead, he was staring at the other human talking to the rock queen.

After a moment of silence which felt awkward to her, she spoke up. "Rock music is her favorite genre. She's hoping she can visit Rock City and get a bit of a rest from pop music." The king turned his gaze from Ash to Star. He blinked slowly like he just realized the human was there.

"She wants to leave pop village?"

Star nodded. "Yeah and go to Rock City. If we never find a way home that's probably where she'd like to end up."

The king looked like he glitched for a moment.

"Who knows, maybe she'll find a nice rock troll to settle down with. Though now that I think about it, she might want to follow Hickory home. She loves his cappuccinos." She laughed to herself, thinking it was a ridiculous thought, a troll, and a human? Though she stopped when she looked at the king.

He wasn't laughing.

"I think I should cut you off." Hickory laughed as he handed Ash another cappuccino.

"It's so nice to have something that isn't sickly sweet after only eating sweets the last week. On top of that, it's an amazing cappuccino." Ash sighed as she took another sip.

"Darlin', this is the last one. I'll make you some more tomorrow." The troll winked at her.

Hickory looked past her shoulder and raised a brow. Ash turned to see what he was looking at.

"Trollex?"

The king grinned gliding towards her. She had completely missed the look he had tossed Hickory before she turned. Hickory wondered for a moment if the king himself realized what look he gave him.

"I was curious about something, so I thought I'd ask you."

Ash nodded for him to continue.

"Star was talking about how you have rock in your world. Do you have techno?"
