Chapter 6: A Precious Gift

TW: abuse

Wilbur was sitting in his office- when he got a knock at his door- "come in" he sighed- someone walked in and placed a brown box on his desk- "it's from the glass shop down in town" the man delivering the box said, Wil smiled, "thank you, you many go" Wil told him- he walked out of the room- He opened the box to find a note on the inside of the box, To his majesty, for your love- be true to her- signed Frank, he folded the paper back to reveal the familiar glass horse that Sally was so enamored with-

This is the perfect time to take a break, Wil thought as he stood up from his desk, and walked out to the courtyard- he walked down to the village- and walked up to the familiar house- and knocked with the brown box in hand- she opened the door- she blushed as she saw him- "hey Wilbur" she said shyly, he blushed- "hey Sally" he said gently- she was wearing black pants and a red shirt- and a pair of black boots- "I um- brought something for you" he said handing her the brown box- she smiled- "you didn't have to do that" she smiled and blushed- "yes I did" he confirmed- and handed her the box she took it- she started to open it- "it would've been a crime not to get it for you" he smiled- she unwrapped the paper- and saw the glass horse- she gasped- "you didn't-" she smiled- he smiled- "I did"

She took the glass horse out from the paper- and marveled at it- "it's beautiful-" she said gently- "come help me find a place to put it" she said pulling him from his wrist inside the work in progress of a house- he looked around he saw a stone fireplace- a beat up couch across from it and in the back of the house there was a kitchen it looked like she'd done the most work there- it was the cleanest- "maybe I'll put it in my room" she said as she disappeared up the creaking stairs- he didn't feel it was proper to follow her even though he wanted too.

She came back down the stairs smiling- "I love it- thank you" she smiled- his heart fluttered- "I'm glad-" he smiled- "soo you wanna do something?" She asked- Wilbur didn't respond for a minute- "unless you have some work to do I don't mind"she said almost disappointedly

Wilbur smiled- "why don't you come eat lunch at the castle with me- meet my brothers?" He asked- she perked back up- "at the castle? Are you sure that's ok?" She asked gently- he grabbed her hand and squeezed it- "well yeah- I happen to be the king- anything I say goes" he smiled- she smiled, "ok- ok- let me go get dressed-" she said letting go of his hand- "you're beautiful no matter what you wear" he smiled- she blushed and paused- "you think I'm beautiful?" She asked teasingly- he rolled his eyes playfully- "just go get dressed I'll be waiting outside" he said embarrassed as he turned to walk out the door- "hey for what it's worth-" she called out from the stairs and grabbed his attention- "I think you're pretty handsome" she said now slinking up the stairs- his heart pounded- as he walked out the door

He took a deep breath to calm himself- and waited on her stairs for her to come out- he heard the door knob turn and she stepped out, she was wearing a purple patterned shirt and black pants and black boots- her hair was pulled into a ponytail with a braid going down the ponytail so Wilbur could see her face perfectly- she smiled- he looked at her face- freckles sprinkled her face- her purple eyes were hypnotic- "ready?" She asked him- that snapped him out of it- "um yeah-" Wil said outstretching his hand- she took it with a smile and they walked down the road next to each other- hands interlaced with each other- they got away from the village ad close to the castle- again- Wilbur felt like he was being watched- and not in a comforting way- it wasn't by Sally-it was like eyes were glued to him- yet they were the only two around- maybe he's just making to much of it- imagining things-

It's fine, he told himself- you're just being dramatic, he thought to himself as they reached the bridge- they walked across and into the courtyard- the guards bowed in reverence to their king- "at ease-" he told them they went back to standing guard- they opened one door to the castle for him- the two started walking down the red carpet- Sally was in awe of what was around her- beautiful paintings- ancient vases- the grand marble pillars- "you grew up here?" She asked in astonishment, "yup- trust me it wasn't as glamorous as it seems-" he told her gently- looking down solemnly-
