I do not own Frozen

Chapter 10

The Party

Elsa's POV

The days up to the party were awful. Ever since the snowball fight, Elsa didn't know what to do with herself. She was attracted to Anna, that much was clear. The cheery redhead made her way into Elsa's dreams and she often found herself staring at the princess while eating or supposedly guarding her.

Conversation only seemed to make the matter worse. Elsa couldn't keep her eyes off Anna's moving lips and the redhead had a way of making Elsa laugh or forget how to function as a normal human being.

Therefore, Elsa had done what anyone in her position would do. She had tried to avoid Anna. It wasn't easy avoiding the person you were supposed to protect, but somehow she made it work. They hadn't talked much and Elsa had made sure that Anna was occupied with planning the party.

Now, sitting in her room and looking in the mirror, Elsa was dealing with an inner battle. Dress or armor? "I should wear my armor. Even if it is a party… I am her bodyguard" she said in her responsible voice. However… Anna had begged for her to wear a dress. And she could. She could just make something out of ice. Even if something did happen, she should be able to transform it into a suitable armor fast enough. Besides, the thought of Anna wanting to see Elsa in a dress…

She blushed and let out a very unladylike growl. "Elsa, get yourself together. Conceal, don't feel… conceal, don't feel…" she repeated the words until they had lost all meaning. "I'm going to wear a dress"

Once she had made the decision of wearing a dress, the thought of going all out just followed naturally. She did her hair and makeup. Then she spend at least an hour on different types of ice dresses, trying to decide which one Anna would like the best.

It was already time for the party when she was finally satisfied with the reflection in the mirror. She made a matching pair of ice shoes and made her way downstairs. It was first once she saw the hundreds of guests dancing and talking that she regretted her decision. "I should have worn my armor"

She looked around the room, trying to get a glimpse of Anna. The only reason she was here was to protect the princess after all. She recognized a cheerful laugh and spotted Anna, in the middle of a (apparently) funny conversation with two men. She looked absolutely stunning.

The long, wild hair had been tamed into a lovely braided bun and she was wearing a long, green dress with no sleeves. The young princess' shoulders were exposed and Elsa couldn't take her eyes off of them. Anna's bare skin looked so… kissable. She was deep in unholy thoughts when Anna suddenly looked at her. Elsa quickly averted her gaze somewhere else, she had been openly ogling her. She could only hope that no one had noticed.

"Elsa!" before Elsa had any time to collect herself, Anna had already made her way through the crowd. "Elsa, you look… you look… like a goddess, woah, I mean, that dress… and your hair… I mean you always look gorgeous without even trying, right? But now you're just, I mean… breathtaking"

Elsa's face went warm and she tried to avoid the redheads gaze "thank you Your Highness, you're quite stunning yourself. I mean, beautiful. You look beautiful" she mentally scorched herself, this was one of those times where mistakes were not allowed. In a ballroom, in front of hundreds of people, the king and the queen and of course Anna.

Anna turned the most lovely shade of red and Elsa couldn't help but smile. Her words had this effect on the princess. Not prince Edgar nor any other prince, her. And that was of course wrong and she should stop it immediately. "You remind me of a warm summer day" the words had left her mouth before she had a chance to think.

Anna turned even redder and stuttered as she replied "t-thank you! Heh, that's funny. Summer… cause you know, you totally just look like winter. Cold. No, I mean, not cold, cold! Really you look hot more than anything! Well, no, yes, but.. argh, I mean you just look perfect, like a snowflake!" the princess rambled on and Elsa felt her heartbeat quicken. Elsa opened her mouth to reply, but was cut off by a stranger who moved in between them.

"Princess Anna, I am Prince Ludwig of Crovan, would you do me the honor of the next dance?" the blonde man asked, while smiling brightly at Anna. The princess looked like she didn't know what to say and Elsa decided to cut in before she got a chance. "I am sorry, but I have already claimed the princess for this one" she said and placed her hand on Anna's bare shoulder. She was not wearing her gloves, and the feeling of Anna's warm skin against her own was almost electric.

The prince and Anna looked equally confused, but Anna quickly followed up "ah, yes… uhm sorry, as you can see I uhm… so"

The prince, still confused, nodded and walked away, looking a little… discouraged. Elsa smiled satisfied.

"So, you had already claimed me for this one?" Anna looked at Elsa with a raised eyebrow. Elsa blushed and tried her best to keep her voice steady "I, hrm, I would like to have a look at the gentlemen before I feel safe letting you dance with one of them"

"You fear they may hide a blade in their sleeve?" Anna asked, clearly amused and not buying Elsa's story.

"That or poison. You should let me get you drinks. Are you thirsty? I can get you one now" Elsa said, but Anna shook her head "I think it would look rather suspicious if not rude, if we did not take a dance" she replied with a teasing smile "so, when you feel ready to ask?"

Elsa took a calming breath and looked Anna in the eyes "Your Highness… Anna, would you do me the honor of this dance?" she held out her arm and Anna gently took it and beamed at her "it would be my pleasure."

Elsa escorted Anna to the dancefloor and gently placed a hand on the redhead's lower back. "I… uhm can be clumsy… so if I fall…" Anna stuttered, suddenly looking a little nervous. Elsa tightened her grip and pulled Anna closer "I would never let you fall"

And she didn't. They moved gracefully through the ballroom. Elsa knew that people would be looking at them, but she couldn't take her eyes off Anna long enough to confirm her suspicion. The music played and Elsa found herself thinking that she had never seen a more elegant creature than Anna. The clumsy princess was gone, and she moved with confidence. Anna had closed her eyes and placed her head on Elsa's shoulder. Elsa closed hers as well and placed her nose in the red locks. Anna smelled like strawberries.

They danced like that for a bit, forgetting the world around them. It was only when Anna suddenly said "Elsa, I feel a little warm. I think I need some fresh air" that Elsa came back to reality. She quickly nodded "are you feeling ill?" she asked, as she stopped dancing. Anna looked up at her, cheeks flushed "No I… maybe, you better not let me go"

With those words, Elsa escorted Anna out to the gardens. The music faded and the cold air was refreshing. Above them a beautiful night sky was glimmering with stars. Elsa smiled and sat down at a bench next to Anna.

"I love the garden. It's so beautiful. I played here a lot as a child. I would run around and play in the mud and Gerda would scold me for having to bathe me again and clean my dress" Anna said.

Elsa looked over at Anna and felt mesmerized by the soft smile on the princess' face. "You sound very fond of her" she stated.

"Like a second mother" Anna replied.

Elsa nodded and looked around. The garden was indeed beautiful. Flowers and fruit trees planted in various patterns. "I would have liked to play here as a child" she said.

"I would have loved to play with you" Anna said and bit her lip. Elsa felt the princess' gaze on her and slowly met her eyes.

"Elsa?"

"Yes?" Elsa looked at the redhead, who seemed even more nervous now. Elsa felt worried "Anna, are you feeling better? You seem like something is troubling you?" she said and bend down to get a better look at Anna's face.

Anna's eyes closed and suddenly warm lips was upon her cold ones. Elsa's eyes went wide and her heart beat so fast she thought it would break her chest. Elsa pulled away "Anna, we mustn't"

Anna's lips was on hers again, this time more persistent. Elsa closed her eyes and tried to pull away, but the warm lips followed hers. "Anna" she whispered. Then Anna was on top of her. She didn't know how or when, but suddenly she was lying on the bench with Anna over her.

She couldn't hold back anymore. She placed her hands on Anna's back and kissed her passionately. This seemed to only make the princess more eager. She felt Anna's teeth sink into her bottom lip and she let out a soft moan. Once her mouth was open, Anna's tongue found a way in. Warm and delicious against her own, their tongues danced with each other until they had to part for air. "Elsa" Anna's voice sounded husk and Elsa slowly opened her eyes. Anna was looking at her, her eyes darkened with lust. Elsa swallowed a lump. "Anna, this is… wrong" she said.

"I am the princess, I decide what is right and wrong" Anna replied, placing kisses down Elsa's neck.

"It's not that simple. You are a princess. While I should serve you, this is not.."

"Serve me?" Anna stopped and looked at her with furrowed brows. Elsa didn't like that look, she wanted her to kiss her again. "Elsa… I…" Anna got up quickly and looked away "wait, I thought… I thought you wanted this, I mean… god, you were just serving me? You think I would use you like that?" she sounded hurt beyond words and Elsa got up, feeling her heart sink "No! No of course not, Anna I didn't mean it like that!"

"I mean… sure I guess I could order you or whatever, but I actually really like you! I would never do anything you didn't like and I just thought… god I'm so stupid…" Anna didn't look at Elsa, her voice was muffled from tears.

"No, Anna please let me expla-"

"And now I am crying, making you feel bad after taking advantage of yo-"

"Damn it woman I am in love with you!"

Anna went silent. Elsa blinked. Slowly, Anna turned around to look at her. Elsa felt her throat go dry and she couldn't move. "You're… you're in love with me?" she asked.

"I… well, yes I" Elsa tried to find the words "if anything I am taking advantage of you. If your parents knew they-"

Elsa was silenced with another kiss. She blinked and met Anna's teal blue eyes and the biggest grin she had ever seen on a human being. "I am in love with you too"

"What?" Elsa asked, not believing the words coming out of the redhead.

"I love you Elsa" Anna said, beaming happily.

"No, you can't!" Anna kissed her "I am not royal!" she got another kiss "Anna, there are rules against this!"

"Then I'll change the rules" Anna said with a confident voice, making Elsa's knees weak with a very deep and passionate kiss. Elsa felt out of breath, her mind clouded and having troubles remembering why this was wrong.

"I want you Elsa. And if you want me too, then it's very simple" Anna said, smirking at Elsa's expression.

"Your parents…" Elsa began.

"I will talk to them" Anna said.

"And if they don't approve?" Elsa asked, afraid of the answer.

"Then I will make them approve. And if I can't?" she said, before Elsa could ask herself "then I will wait until I am queen and then I will take you as my wife"

"What about an heir?!" Elsa asked, blushing of the thought of her and Anna marrying.

"We can adopt" Anna said, smirk growing wider "already thinking of children dear?"

"A-anna this is no joke! There are laws!" Elsa tried to reason with her.

"Any laws there are against you and me will be changed. Either my parents will do it or I will. Now shut up and kiss me. You are using your delicious lips for all the wrong things"

"But Anna, we need to discuss!"

And then Anna kissed her again.

Yes, there were much they needed to discuss. So many things, which could go wrong. So many worries.

But they were all forgotten in the warm summer night.

...
