My Fairy King

Save Me

September 4th 1971
*Cadences POV*

I opened my window seeing the person I really needed right now.  I reached back turning my lamp on before putting a finger over my lips signaling he needed to be silent.  He climbed in as quietly as he could sitting on the bed with me.  I'm sure he could see I was about to cry.  He had a thing of flowers in his hands and looked at me worried.

He set the flowers on my bed putting his arms around me.  That was all I wanted someone to hold me tight.  If we talked my parents would hear so we just sat there him holding me and petting my hair.  I was crying against his shoulder just waiting for my parents to go to bed so we could talk.  I had no clue how long we'd been doing that but finally I heard no more talking from their bedroom.

"Freddie.." My voice was raw from crying and I went to say something else but he cut me off.  "What's wrong darling why are you crying like this?" His voice was filled with concern and worry.  "My parents and I g-got in a huge fight about my vision...m-my mum slapped me and told me to not come out of my r-room." I stuttered my way through it trying not to cry.

His eyes narrowed when I said she slapped me.  "And you were on a date." I whispered that hoping he wouldn't hear but I think he did.  I didn't questioning he knew where I lived because I told him once that I lived across from the park and he somehow remembered.  I put my head back on his shoulder.

"Why'd you come?" I hadn't yet thought of why he just showed up at my window.  "To right a wrong my love but I'll worry about that later." He ended his sentence with kissing my head.  I was also just very upset about him being with Mary.  He held me until I stopped crying and listened to whatever I said.

He pulled me up so I was kind of sitting on his lap but more so on his lower thighs.  He grabbed the flowers which I could make out were yellow.  "These are for you my love." He gave me a small smile and I got extremely confused.  "Kitten the date was terrible because everything she did gave me a memory of something you've done." My eyes widened because he sounded completely sincere.

I shakily grabbed the flowers from him delicately running my fingers over the petals.  I leaned back placing them in the glass of water I had to drink on my nightstand.  He put his forehead to mine holding both my hands.  "It'll be okay Cadence...I promise you." God I wanted to believe him obviously!  But nothing had been okay lately!

"I'm going to fix at least one of your problems okay dear?" He moved one hand up to gently stroke my cheek and I nodded.  I felt something when we were so close like that and I could feel his breath against me.  I felt safe.

He gently kissed my cheek and I closed my eyes.  He continued to repeat softly every few minutes "You're okay now." And what he was saying was true him being here made me feel much better than I had in these past few days.  Then he'd kiss the tip of my nose or cheek.

I synced my breathing with his and I could tell he noticed after a few seconds and started giggling.  After about 15 minutes he moved me off so he could take off his shoes and get all the way up on the bed with me.  I told him he could lay down and he did while I sat beside him.  "Happy early Birthday" I suddenly remembered tomorrow was his Birthday.

"Aww thank you lovie" He smiled softly at me.  I started playing with his hair and running my fingers through it for the soul reason it was entertaining.  His hair was really soft and silky I noticed.  His eyes started fluttering and then they closed.  "Mmm..you're putting me to sleep." He mumbled adjusting a bit and I laughed quietly.

After a few more moments of me doing that I heard soft snores signaling I had in fact put him to sleep.  I'll definitely wake up before my parents so he can stay.  I laid down next to him putting my head on his chest to hear his heartbeat and pulled the blankets over us.

I fell asleep fairly quickly because of him he was warm and I loved hearing people's heartbeats.  I woke up to the sound of my door opening.  "Hey Cady mum wanted me to-who the hell is that?" I heard my brothers voice and it took me a second to process everything as I sat up. Freddie was still sound asleep his arm now around my waist.

"Uhm...he's my friend...please don't tell mum and dad!" I got quickly terrified knowing they'd kill me.  "I'd be your boyfriend or something?" My brother seemed concerned and I shook my head.  "I'll stall them for a minute so you can get him out of here." He said to me with a little wink and I thanked him.  He walked out and I took a deep breath feeling so relieved I had a cool older brother.

*Freddie's POV*

I felt myself being tapped and I woke up.  Cadence had really made me fall asleep wow...WAIT I SLEPT AT HER HOUSE?!  I opened my eyes and she was awake sitting there.  "Happy birthday...how old are you again? 40?" She laughed and I pretended to be upset.  "Fuck off" I told her with a small smirk.

I motioned for her to come closer and she did.  I put my hand on her face I wanted to kiss her so bad.  I leaned forward a bit but she interrupted my plan.  "You've got to go Fred I'm sorry but my parents will be in any minute..." She sounded urgent so I backed away and started putting my shoes on.  She grabbed a little box giving it to me.

I thanked her and kissed her forehead "I'll see you later my love." I most definitely had plans to take her on a date.  "Bye-bye" She Gabe me a little hug.  I made my way out of the window hearing her door open just as I walked away.
