Alfie. Seriously. That bitch of a fire wielder is getting on my nerves. Not in the I -really-hate-him-way. He's getting on my nerves because he's damn charming. Blond hair, blue eyes and an absolutely to fall for nature.
I first noticed him at my coronation. I took the crown and looked to my kingdom. And there he was. In the front row, smiling proudly. That was just because I was now Queen Elsa of Arendelle. Nothing more. But ever since I saw him, I couldn't get him out of my head. I dreamed about him. Every night.
Then things got worse when I realized he was my newly appointed tutor in controlling my powers and learning about my kingdom. I never really listened to him. I only just focused on his mellow voice and watched intently as he demonstrated his power. I tried to copy his movements but that ended in disaster. Eventually, we decided on an attack system. He attacks, I dodge and then vice versa.
I decided to see how he felt towards me. At first, there was a strong tutor/tutee relationship. I could see that much. Eventually, we became friends, spending more and more time together. And I really wanted to take that further.
On one of my usual Friday training sessions, I did it. I fully recited the history of Arendelle to him, I was able to dodge him and attack fiercely (although that pained me greatly). I also did the one thing I never thought possible. At least not in my field.
"Alfie?" I asked as we sat on the rocks outside my Ice Castle on the North Mountain. He turned to me and gave a seriously dazzling smile.
"Yes, Elsa?" He asked. Even though I had strength left in me, he was able to make that melt away with just one look.
"I…" How do I start? What was I thinking when I thought of telling him how I feel? He took my hands and I felt the temperature in my body start to rise. A blush covered my cheeks and I had to turn my face to hide it.
"Elsa, what is it?" He sounded concerned. I couldn't let that be so I gave him a small smile.
"I wanted to say…" And the words got stuck in my throat. I swallowed and tried to carry on.
"Yes?" He prompted. He saw the confused expression in my eyes and tilted my face towards his. "Don't rush, slow down. Feel." I blushed again at his touch and I closed my eyes in the hope of letting out what I wanted to say.
"I... don't know how to say this…" I whispered.
"Well, while you think about it, can I tell you something?" He asked. I nodded, relieved to have more time.
"Please do." I said. He smiled.
"Well, ever since I was appointed your tutor, I felt a deep feeling. Towards you. And then when we became more than just tutor and tutee, I knew I wanted to be more than a friend to you. Elsa, what I wanted to say was… I love you." He finished. He waited for a reaction. I smiled.
"I couldn't have explained it better myself." I whispered. I leaned in and closed my eyes. Moments later I felt his warm lips against my cold ones. I smiled against the kiss, relieved that he felt the same way.
Right then, my hatred for him melted away. I felt love, passion and desire.
We broke the kiss and leaned our foreheads together.
"I love you, Alfie." I whispered.
"I love you, too, Ice Queen." He smiled.
