Future for us

Chapter 9

Agnarr POV🌊

"Is there something wrong? You seem worried?" She yawned as she got up and stretched.

"I am sorry Iduna, I am just here to wake yo-"

"I am wide awake now." She cuts me off as she got off the bed.

"Well.....Good afternoon Ms Iduna, I would like to inform you that you are needed in the kitchen." I changed the topic.

"Not this again, how many times have I said not to copy Kai and stop calling me Ms, Kai already stop call me it ages ago." She frowned.

"Well are you going?" I asked

"Sure, see if you can catch me first." She stretched again, preparing to give her all.

"Not this again, I will never beat you in any physical activity."

"First reaches the kitchen wins." After saying that she quickly ran off, I sighed and followed her.

We ran pass the corridors and stairs, just as I thought I could pass iduna, she winks at me and increase her speed, did she hide all her strength just to brag at me , I felt embarrassed and sped up as well.

"I won." She ran into the kitchen.

"Now what do you want?" As I try to get my breath back.

Iduna and I have a deal from a beginning, any game we played and who loses must gift the winner something.

"I want to know how to cook that."

"Gingerbread cookies?" As I saw a tray full of it.

She pointed at the house looking food covered with sweets. I then pulled her to the table filled with ingredients.

Then Emilie pour a cup of flour into the bowl with some spices.

"Smell nice!" Iduna sniffed.

"It's not done yet, there is still a few more step Iduna." Emilie said while mixing the flour together.

Iduna helped with mixing the molasses and adding both mixtures together. And everyone helped out by cutting the walls of the gingerbread house.

"Smell nice from here." Ms Mane looks at the oven with iduna staring with awe.

Iduna asked a lot of questions like how the oven works and how is the cookie edible by just putting in the oven.

This questions me so much, how didn't she know about the oven, most household should have one, and judging Ms Mane lifestyle, she should have one.

The cookie is done, so now with decorating the house, candies and icing are placed so that everyone can decorate their own house.

And of course, Ms Mane is the first one done with neatly placed candies on the roof and beautifully drawn design around the roof.

While on the other hand, iduna is having a hard time putting the walls together. With icing over her and candies mixed around with the icing, it is a huge mess.

"Iduna your face." As I pointed to her forehead with a blob of icing.

She wipes off her head and licks the icing.

"Mmmm....this is new."

"Darling I think that is enough for today, we should start eating the houses before it gets nasty." As Ms Mane wipes her face with her handkerchief.

Iduna just break hers into half and ate it.

"So sugary and there is a pinch of gingery taste." I could see her eyes sparkles as she continued eating.

After everyone ate their 'houses', it's already quarter until seven, it's time for everyone to gather outside to ice skate with all the arendellians.

I am really bad at ice skating, but however traditions must stick with it.

When we arrive at the rink, it was fully packed, with tables set up with tons of food ready to be eaten on tables, people started skating and the Christmas tree in the middle of the rink.

As I tied the laces of the skates, Iduna pulled me up.

"Iduna! I am not ready yet please stop!"

"You will never be ready at this rate, trust me it's easy." She said as I held her hands tightly while stabilizing myself.

Trust the skates Agnarr, trust iduna, you're a boy you shouldn't be scared, if she can do it you can too.

Iduna then let go off me as I tried to steady myself and I did.

"You should really start moving or else you will start to bump into others." she pulled me towards her direction as I turned and saw a lovely couple waltzing smoothly past us.

"Come let me show you the ropes of it, calm yourself down and start trusting yourself first that you won't fall." She said in a gentle tone as she stabilise me.

I breathe in and out and we started practicing how to skate, after a few minutes learning from Iduna, she let me go again and skate on her own.

I started skating slowly and then speeding up, soon catching up with her, I then grab her hand whilst she is in the midst of shock and dance with her.

"I see you are improving real fast, is it fun?"

I nodded my head and started speeding up, as both of us started twirling around the tree we said a lot of Christmas jokes and laughed out loud.

I bumped into someone and It is uncle.

"Good to see you overcoming your fear lad, Iduna you are such a good teacher, may I ask when did you start skating?"

"Just today, I can't believe there is so much intriguing activities here in arendelle!"

I was in astonishment, today? I started skating since I was 6 and I haven't get the hang of it and in just a few minutes she got it, what a talented girl, but there is something bugging  me, she didn't know about skating? I thought every arendellian knows about it.

After this activity ended everyone was dismissed and we went back to the castle.

Everyone skip charades night as it was quite late and I summoned uncle in to my chamber.

"I have a feeling that iduna isn't who she is." As I got onto my bed.

"Of course she isn't." As he closed the balcony doors.

"But however I don't think it's a bad thing, I don't feel any bad feeling from her."

"Same here, she is just an innocent young lady who hasn't seen how big the world it is." as he lit up a candle while walking towards me.

"Is she related to Ms Mane?" I randomly asked.

Uncle shook his head, which shocked me again.

"She isn't, she got adopted by ms mane, who claims that she found her as a orphan, and somehow I wasn't surprised about it, speaking about it feels strange."

"Oh. She didn't tell me about this."I depressingly said it out.

"I am sure that whatever problems or secrets she is hiding must be with a valid reason." Uncle reassure me.

Iduna, how many secrets are you hiding from my poor soul, I need answers. Are we actually friends or are you just using me? Who are you exactly?
