God i cant believe i just met him i was thinking as i was going home. Finally something interesting happened in this booring village and i met THE Sub-zero... Yeah the village was isolated but we knew some things and i knew that that guy was dangerous but i didn't mind. I was hoping he would be back some day even though it's probably impossible. Now it was the question how was i supposed to sneak back into house without parents noticing, oh yeah i got caught before and got grounded so i didn't need for that to happen again. I somehow got to window of my bedroom not making much noise and went to bed. "Finally safe" i though to myself and fell asleep...
I woke up the next morning feeling that finally something awesome happened last night, of course parents noticed but thought nothing of it, i mean after all i was young and my mood was changing often. I ended up being bored again working all day and then my friends came, we went out for drinks and some snacks and spent fun night together but still it was nothing compared to last night. After all i couldn't tell them anything. It would've been too dangerous and the secret could be spread throughout the village and of course my parents. I couldn't go to the woods next couple of months which suckes because i still had some hope that he would show up....
It was beautiful night and i just had to visit the woods, i didn't know what made me take the risk that night but i just had to. I started walking to my usual place while i was enjoying whe sounds of the woods. As i was approaching i saw a figure. I couldn't believe that someone else dared to visit the woods and risk to get into trouble. Still, something was odd, at first I couldn't recognize him but as i went closer i realized it was actually Sub-zero. He was staring at me until he recognized me. I was little embarrassed with him staring but soon after he scratched back of his head feeling kinda awkward. "uh sorry for staring, i just couldn't believe i will meet you again. Its great to see you again...". He is shy, i noticed and giggled to myself which made me blush. I thought he didn't see it but the moonlight was shining my face and he surely saw. Great, i thought to myself, he must think im a weirdo. He apparently didn't, he gestured me to come to him so i started making my way towards him but i tripped over some stupid branch and fell. I laughed nervously but felt pain in my leg and couldn't get up. He looked very worried an approached me. I felt his strong muscular arms lifting me and i barred my blushing face into his chest and murmured "im sorry, im a clumsy idiot", i guess he didn't hear it since he quietly walked towards some log that he placed me to sit on. And that was the first time i finally saw his amazing powerful ice making abilities. He made small ice cube and  gently pressed it on my still hurting leg and pain was kinda starting to fade away. He lifted his head and said "this is everything i can do, i know its not much but i hope it will make feel better".  I laughed shyly and perhaps he found it funny and he laughed a bit which made me happy because it was the first time i heard him laugh.  Oh how i wished to see what's under his mask.  I was lost in my thoughts for like a minute or so when i started panicking. I was out for a long time and my parent could notice.  He saw my reaction and offered to take me back home,  i expected to walk somehow but he insisted of carrying me.  We chatted for a bit quietly while we were making our way to the village and he kinda liked it here.  He climbed up my window easily,  well after all he was skilled assassin. He placed me on my bed and gently stroked my cheek saying "take care,  ok? I will come back." With that he went away.  I was still in shock,  i just spent almost the whole night with him. Who could have known that he could be so gentle and caring i though blushing as i was slowly falling asleep thinking about him.
