Some time later, Astrid woke up only to realize that she had been sleeping on Aster's shoulders all along.
The little Frost princess's cheeks flushed instantly, but Aster pretended to be asleep so that she wouldn't feel too embarrassed by what she had done.
Seeing that Aster was already asleep, Astrid sighed with relief, and she even felt happy thinking that Aster hadn't realized that she'd been resting on his shoulder all along.
But since he hadn't woken up yet, Astrid was thinking that it wouldn't be a problem for her to rest a little bit more.
And that was exactly what she did as she smiled to herself, realizing that what she was doing felt pretty good.
A part of her hoped that Aster was awake.
However, the other part felt scared of what Aster might think of her if he were to realize what she was doing, and this made Astrid keep her eyes wide open as she looked at him occasionally, just to make sure that he wouldn't wake up when she least expected him to.
