Hey, guy! :)
Here's the first chapter in my story "A Dream of Ice"
And I don't own Frozen or anything. Just a few of my OCs that will appear in later chapters.
Anyway enjoy the first chapter ^^
Chapter 1.
The sound of impact wrenches, car jacks, lifts and welding machines, as well as the smell of motor oil and gasoline filled the garage. It was just after New Years and it had been snowing quite heavily the last week, which meant that they had poured a good amount of salt in the streets and that had resulted in a lot of cars with damage on their bodies. In other words, you had a lot to do these days.
"Hey, (y/n)!" The guy walking up to a grey Mitsubishi was a tall, broad-shouldered and brawny man with half long blonde hair and a friendly face. He was dressed in a blue mechanics jumpsuit and a pair of black work boots. His hands, that were large and rough from many long days at the garage, put a wrench on a nearby table as his light brown eyes scanned the nearest surroundings before he finally looked down and saw a pair of legs sticking out from underneath the Mitsubishi. Chuckling, he hooked his foot in one of the feet on the floor and pulled the person it belonged to out from underneath the car.
"Hey! What the…?!" You yelled in surprise when you felt yourself being pulled at, and suddenly you were staring up at the ceiling of the garage instead of the chassis of the car that you were working on. You sat up on the board you were laying on, pulled out your earplugs and looked up in his grinning face.
"Oh, it's you, Kristoff" You chuckled and got up while you removed your gloves.
"I came to tell you that we're done for the day" Kristoff patted your shoulder.
"Mr. Weselton said that we could go early today, so do you wanna grab a bite to eat on our way home?
"Sure, just give me a few minutes to clean up here, and I'll be right there" you said.
Cleaning took only a couple of minutes and soon you and Kristoff were on your way to the place you always went to after getting off work early to grab a bite to eat.
"So, (y/n)?" Kristoff said as you two sat down in a booth, putting his tray, which were overloaded with food, on the table.
'How can he eat so much?' you thought.
"Yeah?" you took a sip from your drink and looked at him.
"Any plans for this weekend? He asked and began to eat his food.
You shrugged "Not really. Probably just hang around my house and wait for next week to start"
Kristoff gave you a look that you knew meant 'are you kidding me?'
"What?" You asked, even though you already knew the answer.
"Dude, you need to get out more" He said, putting his food down.
You sighed. You've already had this conversation one too many times already.
It was true, though. You almost never went out. And when you did, it was to hang out with Kristoff, Eugene and Eric. Your gang. The guys you grew up with and had known for your whole life. But this weekend, Kristoff was going out of town, Eugene was busy helping his father, and Eric had work at the grocery store, which meant that you were going to stay home.
"But I told you, Kristoff, I don't have a lot of money, and besides, I like staying at home" You said in defense.
"Okay, sure, staying at home is great" he said, scratching his neck "But no one should stay at home as much as you do. I mean… "
You sighed again 'here it comes…'
"How are you supposed to get yourself a girl?"
You raised an eyebrow at him and took another sip from your drink.
"Yeah, like your love life is so much to brag about" You countered, unamused.
That silenced him for a few seconds before he cleared his throat.
"Eugene, Eric and I are going out next weekend and you…" he pointed at you "Are coming with us"
"But Kristoff!" You started, but he silenced you.
"No buts. You're coming with us, even if I have to carry you all the way"
"Fine…" You sighed in defeat and leaned back, knowing that there was no point in arguing with him.
It was 17:00 o'clock when you were walking through the streets on your way home. You crossed the road and entered a quiet area of the city, and soon you were walking down an avenue filled with trees covered in a delicate layer of snow on each side with the road on your left side, and a beautiful park on your right, with more snow covered trees, trails and ponds. You had just reached halfway through the avenue when it started snowing again.
"Oh, great!" you said out loud
'Like we don't have enough work at the garage as it is…'
Your thoughts were interrupted when you noticed someone in the park. Curious, you entered the park and went towards the nearest pond. There, you saw someone out on the ice of the ice rink that was always made in the park in the winter.
'Who is that….?' You asked yourself as you silently approached the ice rink.
Then you saw it. It was a young woman. And she was figure skating! She skated on the right back outside edge, with her skating knee deeply bent. She then extended her left arm straight in front of her while her right arm found itself in a 5 o'clock' position. Her left leg then reached back and she planted the toe pick firmly in the ice and at the same time, she reached back with her arm to prevent herself from tripping. She then launched her jump and rotated a fully 360-degree revolution in the air and landed on her right foot back outside edge and extended her arms fully to the sides in a normal skating position. Her right knee was bent and her left leg was extended strongly. She arched her back and kept an amazing skating posture while she remained at the back outside edge.
'A toe loop' you thought to yourself. And a very well performed one at that.
She then turned around and skated backwards and lifted up her right foot. She put her free leg behind her, and then put her toe pick down and jumped off her toe pick to rotate in the air while crossing her legs. She landed on one toe pick and went straight back to the amazing figure skating posture. And everything was done with a grace you had never seen before.
A Lutz.
'Wow…' you could only stare in awe. This girl was amazing!
"Oh" you heard a sound and snapped back to reality. Then you noticed that she had stopped, and was looking right at you.
'Oh no! Did I say that out loud?!' You almost mentally panicked, but managed to compose yourself before you got that far.
That was, until you got a good look at her. She wore a black and teal coat, with a purple scarf, over something that looked like a dark blue dress. She had a pair of black stockings and on her feet she had a pair of white figure skates. Her platinum blonde hair was styled in an elaborate bun, and then, it was her eyes. Ah, yes, her eyes. They were the most amazing blue eyes you had ever seen. They truly made the bluest summer sky not seem that blue at all. You felt your throat go dry, as your heartbeat increased rapidly. Blood rushed through your veins and up to your cheeks and your palms went clammy from sweat. You were completely entranced by her. She was absolutely gorgeous.
You managed to compose yourself again, and closed your mouth that was slightly agape. Wait, when did that happen?
"That was incredible" You said, with a friendly smile, eliciting a slight blush from the beauty.
"Thank you" she said in a voice so soft and sweet it instantly gave you butterflies in your stomach as she made her way over to the fence that separated you from the ice.
"Not many people can do a Lutz so perfectly and gracefully" you added with a little bit more confidence.
She gave you a surprised look. Not that you could blame her, considering your appearance.
"You like figure skating?" She asked, and you mentally panicked for the second time in 3 minutes.
Should you tell her?
You looked at her, and she looked back at your (e/c) colored eyes with her blue ones and a reassuring smile. This made you give in and you nodded.
"Yes, I love figure skating, actually. I've been practicing ever since I was 14 years old" you, said, and you felt your cheeks turn red. It was true. You had loved figure skating ever since you discovered it when you were 14 years old, and in secret had bought a pair of figure skates and practiced it. You had become quite talented, but no one knew. This girl was the first one to ever know your secret.
Her eyes lit up and her smile grew a bit bigger.
"That's amazing" she said smiling.
You then realized that you never introduced yourself.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I never told you my name" You said and reached out a hand.
"My name is (y/n)"
Smiling, she shook your hand and the contact of her soft, delicate hand almost made you melt.
"My name is Elsa" she replied.
'Elsa… what a beautiful name' you thought. 'It fits a beautiful girl like you'
She blushed and let go of your hand, and you immediately realized that you had been thinking out loud again.
"Ehm…. W… what I… I… what I mean is that…." You started to stutter, as you tried to find the right words and ended up facepalming yourself to stop your rambling.
Elsa giggled and gave you a warm smile. "Thank you" she said, and you smiled back.
"Hey, if you like figure skating, why don't you come to my club tomorrow? Would you like that?" She asked, suddenly.
You were taken aback. Did she really invite you to her figure skating club? It didn't take you long though, to make up your mind.
"I would love to" you said and nodded. Of course you'd go. How could you refuse an invitation from a girl like Elsa? You'd go to a math club if it meant spending more time with her.
"Oh, that's great" she said with a big smile. "Then, maybe we can meet at the town square at 2 o'clock pm tomorrow afternoon?"
You nodded again and smiled "Sure. I… I'll meet you there. Tomorrow at 2 o'clock pm"
"Ok… " she said a bit shyly and blushed. Once again, you locked gazes and you smiled friendly. You were suddenly interrupted by the honking of a car horn and you both turned to where the sound came from. There, at the parking lot at the end of the avenue stood a shiny black Rolls Royce and Elsa gave you an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, I have to go…" she said and stepped off the ice and removed her skates and put on a pair of elegant grey winter boots. Before leaving, she turned to you and smiled.
"It was nice to meet you, (y/n). I'll see you tomorrow at 2 pm"
You nodded "Tomorrow at 2 pm" you repeated and watched as she turned and walked towards the Rolls Royce. When she was out of sight, you shook your head.
"Wow… what just happened?" You asked yourself and then smiled to yourself before heading home.
When you walked through the door of your humble but comfortable home, you put your keys in the bowl at the dresser by the door, and hung up your jacket at the coat rack before you headed into the living room.
"Hey, son" your father looked at you from where he and you mother were sitting on the couch.
"Hey, dad" you said, a little absent minded, thinking of a certain someone. Your mother noticed this.
"Did something happen, (y/n)?"
You lightly shook your head "No, nothing" you replied and quickly went to the kitchen. Then you remembered that you actually had work tomorrow. How could you forget? You assumed that you were so caught up in the moment that you totally forgot about work when you agreed to meet Elsa the next day.
'Oh well, I can just tell Mr. Weselton that I have something to do tomorrow, and that's why I have to go early' you thought to yourself and nodded.
That night, when you went to bed, you couldn't stop thinking about HER.
'I can't wait til tomorrow…'
