The FROZEN Heart (Merlin x Reader)

↳˳⸙;; ❝ CHAPTER 2 ᵕ̈ ೫˚∗:

"DINNERS READY!"

Y/n put her book down as she inhaled the smell of the delicacies that are made with care and love by Hans who called them earlier to come downstairs.Y/n put her wand through her hair tied bun.She walked downstairs followed with the triplets and through the kitchen,she saw Merlin and Arthur help the plating.

Finishing,they sat at the dining table,Hans began scooped up the goods he cooked to her plate before sitting on his own seat after earning a thank you from her,Arthur looked at Hans weirdly,

"Hey,where's ours?"

Hans,smiled but that is one of the smile that they knew clearly and Y/n too.Yep,he practically give him a death smile and stare,

"Do it on your own,lazy bum"

"Lazy bum?Excuse you,I'm not lazy than Jack is..."

"Um,why am I being drag into this matter?",Jack spoke as he continues to scoop the food.

"As much as I wanted to agree to that but compared you at home,all you do is actually having a 'day off',which concludes,sleeping."

Y/n,at the corner of her lips upturned forming a small smile,Merlin who sat besides her poked her cheek,as he mouthed,

'You look more beautiful and lovely when you smile'

Oh,how flirtatious of him...

Merlin then gestured her to eat her food while he joins in the 'lover-enemy-siblings like' quarrel,telling jokes and all.Y/n could only listen and internally laugh at their priceless reactions,while the triplets stiffled their laughter.It's been so long hasn't it?Seeing them all being goofy with each other like when they use to be as kids.

And that dinner night continued to spread it's glorious and humorous light inside the atmosphere of the Fearless 7's headquarters.Until,

"So,how have you been Y/n,we haven't heard you for so long after...Your dad...",asked Jack,receiving a punch from Hans which made him winced at the pain,

"Oi,what's with the promise to not ask about that question earlier",said Arthur as he signalled the blonde prince to shut his mouth up with an invisible zipper.

So,they afraid that you might get emotional in these type of situations ey?Even about the topic about your late father?...Y/n shook her head,her face didn't show any gloomy and hollow expressions,neither being sad and angry,just neutral which it made it hard for them to comprehend what she's feeling now.She's one heck of a princess,Ice cold on the surface but filled with delicate and fragile pieces,

"I could say that I manage things pretty fine lately even my mother after her breakdown for the past years after he died.You cannot undo somethings that's already been done.For details,I don't think I have so many things to tell though,like I said I'm...fine...Living in a nornal life like I use"

"Your father must be so so so proud for having a strong beautiful daughter like you.Heck,he might be even more proud seeing you grown up well!",said Hans as he walked towards her,patting her back.

"Are you sure that you aren't my mother?",she asked jokingly,"Cause you seemed like one to me"

"I've always had this motherly vibe"
