Hey y'all! Thank you for all the lovely reviews and sorry this took so long ;) enjoy!

The wind was cold against my wet skin, even though it was summer. There were dark clouds gathering around the sky which meant there would probably be a summer storm the next day. I leaned against the balcony railing and looked at the landscape in front of me. I could see the dark outline of a forest and the shimmering reflection of the moon in a lake. Suddenly I felt someone's warm arms wrap around my shoulders, instantly warding off the chill.

''You're gonna catch a cold'' Jack murmured against my ear.

''You can't talk, Your Grace.'' I said, crossing my arms over my chest. I was standing with my back to him, so he couldn't see the blush spread slowly over my cheeks. The only piece of clothing he wore was a pair of dark boxers and his chest was pressed against my back.

''don't call me that. Its jack.'' He said. I could see the muscles in his arms flexing as he pulled me closer.

''I'm going to sleep.'' I managed, pulling away, suddenly short of breath. I walked back into the room and dumped myself on the bed, under the covers, facing the wall. After a few seconds I heard Jack closing the doors to the balcony and flick off the light. Then the bed dipped as he lay down next to me, the curtain falling softly behind him, isolating us from the rest of the world. I pressed myself against the wall as much as I could. I heard him sigh and his fingers brush my arm.

''Please don't touch me.'' I whispered. This time Jack didn't listen, and pulled me against him in a swift movement, his arms wrapping around my stomach, his face nuzzling into my hair. '' I'm your fiancé, I'm allowed, aren't i?''

I didn't say anything. I wanted desperately to push him off of me, to stay away but he was so warm and I was so sleepy and I felt so tired so I let him hug me and fell asleep.

I woke up the next day at 6 am sharp, just like I did each day and I was surprised that there was no one standing over me, telling me to rise and shine. I was also surprised that I was pressed against my fiancé, nuzzled into his neck. Jack's arms were around me, pressing me against him, our faces inches apart. I let out a breath as quietly as I could and slowly unwrapped his arms from my waist. He didn't even move and I slipped out of the bed. I looked at myself in the mirror and with a quiet groan I opened the wardrobe. One side had shirts and pants neatly stacked in columns – probably Jack's, the other had multi-coloured dresses hanging from pegs. As much as I wanted to grab the shirts and pants, I forced myself to pick out a long blue dress from the bunch. It was floor length, and kind of beautiful, with a low neck line. Then I grabbed a pair of boots from my suitcase and shoved them on my feet, checking twice that the dress covered them completely. I put my hair in a loose braid and admired myself in the mirror. Only then did Jack stir and a second later he pulled the curtain back. I had to admit he looked insanely cute, with his hair sticking out everywhere, his eyes adjusting to the light filing in through the window. I could see his abs and tried not to stare. He was perfect.

Jack's eyes fell on me and he smiled, standing up and making his way over to me.

''You look beautiful'' he said and leaned down to steal a kiss from me. I panicked and turned my head to the side. Jack hesitated before giving me a light kiss on the cheek. ''Breakfast is in an hour.'' He informed me.

The dining room was gigantic, much bigger than the dining room in my palace in Arandelle. Everyone stood up when me and Jack walked in. The Queen and King smiled at me and Rapunzel gave me a quick wave and Olaf beamed. Eugene and Kristoff looked half asleep, and so did another girl. She was short with a mass of red hair. Upon seeing me she stepped away from her chair and walked over. Smiling quickly at Jack she extended her hand.

''Merida, princess of Dunbroch. Nice to meet ya, Elsa.'' I shook her hand, startled about how un-girly she was and gave her a quick smile. Queen tooth motioned for me to sit down. I made polite small talk but my thoughts kept wandering to next week, when Anna would come for the wedding. By the end of the month. Two weeks.

'Excuse me' i muttered, feeling like i might cry and hurried out of the room. As soon as i was out and on the corridor someone caught my hand. I turned around to see Jack, his expression worried, his blue eyes sad.

'I just needed some air' i said defensively. He didnt say anything, just pulled me along with him. I hoped to God he wasnt taking me to some random room for a private make out session but soon enough i felt warm sun rays on my face. We were out in one of the many gardens. There were Roses and Dandelions and Primroses everywhere and i couldnt keep back a gasp from escaping my lips. We stopped by a bench painted white, under a huge oak tree, surrounded by flowers. I inhaled deeply and settled down, Jack next to me. I vaguely realised that he was holding my hand still.

'This is about the marriage, isnt it?' He asked unexpectadly. I was suprised to see a faint flush to his cheeks and the fact he wasnt meeting my eyes.

'Of course it is!' I said, gritting my teeth, being the insensitive Elsa i was. Yay me.

'I'm sorry' He said softly, running his free hand through his pearly hair.

'It's not your fault' I said.

'It is... i requested trying out for your hand. i wanted to marry you.'

'And do you still want to?' I asked after a moment. He turned my face towards his and met my eyes.

'More then anything' his words made my heart speed up and my cheeks flush but i didnt jerk away. Instead, i slowly stood up.

'You must be happy then, your highness' I said coldly and turned to walk away. He caught me by my waist and pulled me into his lap.

'It's Jack' He murmured, just like the night before on the balcony.

'Stop it, someone could see!' I hissed.

'Let them see. I dont care. I want you to say it.'

'For god's sake, say what?' I exploded.

'My name' He whispered and his request caught me off guard.

'Jack.'

He smiled radiantly at me and i couldnt help but smile back the tinniest bit back at him. He reached out and stroked my hair.

'I want you to be happy' He said, his smile disappearing. I wanted it back.

'I am' i suprised myself when i realised that was only half a lie. I liked the castle and already started to love Jack's family. If only i wasnt being forced into the marriage.

'Liar' Jack mumbled, nuzzling into my neck. I stroked his hair like he stroked mine, carefully and gently and i could feel him smile again. He pulled away just a tiny bit so our noses were nearly touching. And then he closed his eyes and tilted his head. My brain screamed.

HE WAS GOING TO KISS ME!

My eyes fluttered shut. Did i want to kiss him? no. Did i want to marry him? Hell no. Then why, why, why was i letting him!? Our lips were nealy touching when...

'Oi you love birds!' Merida yelled. I yelped and jumped back, Jack's arm the only thing saving me from landing butt first on the ground. Behind the redhead stood Rapunzel, Kristoff, Olaf and Eugene. 'You up for some hunting?'

I LOVE Y'ALL! there you have it ;) Sorry, again, please review and tell me what you think!
