This contains: -childhood trauma -cuddling - abandonment issues

Unicorn cookie sat alongside a water fountain picking the petals off of flowers and blowing them into the wind. They get to their last pedal and laid back against the fountain, they stroke their long cotton candy like hair as they drift off. About 10 minutes later a voice goes " Excuse me sir!" the voice of course wasn't familiar. Unicorn cookie opened their eyes slowly and looked at the blonde cookie standing above him.

" What are you doing here at this hour?" the blonde cookie stated in a concerned tone, Unicorn cookie smiled " I'm sorry I got tired on my stroll around the kingdom hehe" they gave a soft look in their eyes which seemed a little scary but innocent at the same time. Clotted let out a sigh " the kingdom is quite on the bigger side so I understand, My name is Clotted Cream Cookie the consul for the Créme republic" he said bowing flipping his coat.

Unicorn cookie noded " My name is Cream Unicorn Cookie.." they said standing up, as soon as they stood up the butterflies that were all over them started fluttering. " WOAH" Clotted exclaimed taking a step back, " I thought those were props!" he said keeping his distance. Unicorn cookie chuckled " Don't worry...they are friendly.." they said as the butterflies settled themselves in their soft hair. Unicorn cookie stuck their index finger out and a butterfly landed on it and they began admiring the patterns on its wings. Clotted walked near them and took a close look at the butterfly " I see, well. Do you have a place to settle in Unicorn cookie?" Clotted asked concerned about their well being. Unicorn cookie looked puzzled for a second " Yes, but not at this kingdom...I shall take my leave.." They said with an ominous smile. Clotted scrunched up his face " Where are you settling then?" he said firmly. " Well I like to rest in the cotton candy den at the carnival.." Unicorn cookie replied slowly walking away letting their butterflies lead them.

Clotteds eyes widen a bit " A carnival?" he asked in shock. Unicorn cookie giggled " mhm, It's so magical! it's so hard to leave that place to come here....." they said. Clotted cream grabbed their cape and pulled them closer looking them straight in their eyes.  " Im sorry but I cannot allow you to sleep at a Carnival Unicorn. Do I make myself cl- "  " W-why not? " they cut clotted off with a genuine expression, their eyes were widen a bit and their butterflies fluttered and repositioned themselves. Clotted looked concerned  " Well all the Carnivals here are abandoned and they will be replaced with a gingerbread estate. It will only make sense for me to help you fin- "  " N-no! you can't! " they cut him off once again but they seemed more tense this time.

Clotted sighed and placed a hand on their shoulder  " Im sorry, I'll do anything in my power to help promote your carnival..The place is long forgotten after all but i'm sure they'll listen to me " Clotted smiled, Unicorn forced a smile  " well I've always dreamed of people going there and having fun...Dreams have their endings I suppose.. " they said relaxing themself and sitting back down near the fountain.

Clotted sat next to them a little bothered that his clothes are getting dirty but he wanted to comfort them. Unicorn cookie gazed into the night sky with colorful stars  " The stars are beautiful...aren't they?.. " they rested their head on the splashing fountain as they said that. Clotted looked up  " Yes they are quite divine " he replied and gave a troubled look  " Unicorn? Do you own that carnival? " he asked looking at them. Unicorn cookie did not respond and continued to gaze into the night sky.

Unicorn cookie broke the silence " Do you have a dream?"  they asked with a curious look, Clotted folded his arms " Well not really. I am in a great position what more could I ask for." he replied. Unicorn cookies smile faded " I see...well did you like carnivals as a young cookie" They asked. Clotted cream sighed " Well...I umm..I had to work quite a lot as a kid so I didn't really put in the energy to play or have fun, If anything I was spoiled and born with riches." he replied and went silent for a good minute  " Anyway You can stay with m- " Unicorn cookie cut him off grabbing his hand  " Well maybe you can join me at the carnival with me tomorrow! It'll be so much fun!" they lit up and had a bright smile. Clotted jumped  " W-well i'm to old arent I? And waaay to busy. " he said nervously declining.

Unicorn cookie shook their head " It doesn't matter the age of a cookie to be in a carnival silly! The gender, pronouns, age anything is okay! As long as cookies are having fun is enough to fulfill my dreams.." they let go of his hands and locked their fingers together. Clotted blushed and smiled " Well then, I will schedule a time where I'm not busy. To spend time with you" he started and stood up and started walking away. He then stopped " Come on, what are you waiting for? follow me." He said grabbing Unicorn cookies hand. Unicorn cookie furrowed their eyebrows " Really? Thank you!.....thank you.." They said with that ominous smile.

A few minutes later They both arrived at Clotted creams room, Unicorn cookie stood at the door awkwardly not wanting to touch anything it looked to expensive. Clotted made his bed comfortable and patted on it " You'll sleep here." . Unicorn cookie shuffled their way over and sat down, they then looked at clotted cream as he went to go practice calligraphy on his desk. Unicorn cookie stood back up walking over to him.

They sat down next to him looking at his work. " That's a lot of writing...is it fun?" they asked shuffling through pages and pages of the fancy writing. Clotted dipped his pen in the ink " Ha, I wouldnt say its fun its a necessity though." he replied. Unicorn cookie laid their head head on his shoulder and closed their eyes "mmmm" they mumbled in pure comfort, Clotted smiled at the feel of their soft hair. He didn't say anything he actually stroked their hair to encourage it. After about an hour Clotted felt his eyelids getting heavy, He picked Unicorn cookie up bridal style and set them down in his bed.

Clotted got in bed as well but kept a distance, Unicorn cookie wrapped their arms around him and forced their eyes open a bit to speak " Is..It ok to get this close..?" they asked yawning in between their sentences. Clotted smiled " It's fine to succumb to affection for a night.." he said drifting off.
