A/N: You're gonna love me. Enjoy!
"Elsa! Elsa! Elsa! Elsa!" Anna yelled jumping on her sister early in the morning.
"What….?" Elsa muffled as she peered open one eye.
"Today's the day!"
"What day?" Elsa grumbled.
"The day you get to meet your future sister-in-law!"
"My future….what?"
"Sister-in-law!"
"Anna, Derek and I are not married."
"Not yet!" Anna squealed.
"Not now. Not ever."
"Wow, you're in denial when you're sleepy! Anyways, c'mon get up sleepy head!" Anna yelled as she slapped Elsa's butt a numerous amount of times.
She drew the drapes, letting in a flash of sunlight that pierced Elsa's soul. She moaned and pulled the blankets over her head and turned to face away from the windows.
"Oh no, I don't think so!" Anna said as she tore the covers off Elsa's body. She didn't shiver like most people, however, because the cold never bothered her anyway.
"Anna? Are you serious?"
"Yep! Now wake up! You have to get ready it's nine in the morning and Leia is expected to arrive around noon!"
"Noon?!" Elsa shot up from her bed and quickly began to get ready.
"So I'll meet you downstairs then….?" Anna called as she slowly left the room.
"Yeah!" Elsa called from the bathroom.
"Where is she?" Derek said pacing around the entrance of the gates.
"The ship is supposed to arrive at-"
"No not the ship! Elsa." Derek cut Anna off.
"Elsa?" Anna questioned.
"Yeah. I want her here to greet Leia."
"Derek, we're women. It takes time."
Derek just huffed a smile and calmed himself down. Soon enough, Elsa popped around the corner and speed walked over to Derek, Anna, Kristoff, and even Olaf.
"Here I am. Sorry I had a dress mishap." She straightened herself out.
She looked up at Derek whose eyes roamed her whole body. She blushed heavily and looked the other way to avoid eye contact.
"Elsa…you uh…..you look beautiful."
Anna nudges Kristoff and smiled.
Elsa looked down at her outfit. She wore a long, purple, form fitting dress that sparkled and glittered. It had three quarter length sleeves and a lace trim on the bottom, like a lot of her dresses. She wore black high heels and her hair was in her signature braid as usual. Derek likes it that way though.
"Thank you. You look great as well." She said and quickly looked at Anna who was dressed in a puffy yellow dress with white high heels.
"Beautiful Anna." Elsa said walking over to her and giving her a hug.
"You too Elsa! Everyone looks so wonderful! Oh Derek, I am so excited to meet your sister!"
"I'm excited too! I missed her so much!"
Elsa smiled at Derek's adorable attitude towards his sister.
Soon enough, they all saw a large ship pull up on the loading dock and everyone, especially Derek, began to really get nervous and excited. Anna was literally jumping up and down, Kristoff was smiling wider than usual, Elsa was nervously toying around with the end of her raid, and Derek literally stood there nervous as ever.
All of a sudden a young girl about Anna's age appeared out of the darkness and she was beautiful. She had very long brown hair and green eyes just like her brother. She was slim like Elsa and Anna. She was dressed like a commoner and she wore a light blue dress that was knee length and her hair was curly.
"DEREK!" She shouted and ran as fast as she could down the ramp on the ship.
"LEIA!" She shouted back and held his arms open.
Leia jumped in his arms and he swung her around in the air. They both began to cry along with Anna- of course.
"I missed you so much!" Leia cried out.
"I missed you too! I thought I'd never see you again!" Derek cried.
He put her down and they turned to face everyone else. She gave them her biggest smile and Elsa caught an instant liking to her.
"Leia, this is Princess Anna of Arendelle and her fiancée Kristoff Bjorgman.
Leia bowed gracefully. "It's nice to meet you!" She said so cheerfully that Anna had no choice but to hug her.
"It's nice to meet you too!"
Kristoff hugged her too. "Welcome to Arendelle!"
"Thank you! It's beautiful here!"
She turned to look at Elsa.
"And this is Els- I mean Queen Elsa of Arendelle. She is the one that was with me when the horrible ship accident took place."
She bowed. "It's very nice to meet you your majesty."
Elsa laid her hand on Leia's shoulder.
"Please, call me Elsa. I am just a friend."
"Okay Elsa! I'm so glad to be finally meeting you!" She pulled Elsa into a hug and she happily returned it.
"I have no one to thank but your brother and Kristoff. Your brother saved my life."
"You saved his too. Trust me."
Elsa was confused at Leia's words at first. She saved his life too? All she could do was smile and nod.
"Shall we go inside?" Elsa asked everyone.
Everyone nodded at her request and walked inside, well Anna skipped inside.
They made their way through the gates and into the dining room where a grand dinner was set up. Leia was amazed at what she saw. Rows of food covered all sides of the walls that consisted of roast chicken, a variety of Arendelle potatoes, steamed vegetables, and of course- chocolate!
"Miss Leia." A servant said pulling out a chair for her.
"Oh! Thank you."
Everyone else comfortably took their seats but then sat there in awkward silence.
"So what happened your majes- I mean Elsa."
Elsa sighed with a smile and looked to Derek. He explained the whole thing from meeting her at the coronation, hanging out all night, and then her running away. Then he explained what happened on the boat and how Elsa got knocked out and he helped her to safety, leaving out the details of what actually took place on the little boat. Leia was amazed. Then he explained how Kristoff found her and how happy everyone was.
"Wow! What a story! Are you alright now, Elsa?"
"Yes hun, I'm…..I'm great." She seemed a bit apprehensive.
Leia just smiled and nodded.
"This food is amazing!" Leia announced.
"Thanks! Best in Arendelle!" Anna said
"What….what is this?" Leia said, staring at the bowl of funny orange food in front of her.
"Oh…..that's carrot casserole. You don't have to eat that. That's more of a Kristoff food thingy…."
"Hey! It happens to be very good!" Kristoff retorted.
"Please, carrot casserole? I'd rather eat a brain."
"Anna!" Elsa whispered.
"No no it's okay. I uh…..I love trying new foods!" Leia said happily digging her spoon in the casserole dish.
Everyone watched in anticipation as she brought the spoon up to her mouth. Kristoff nodding his head yes while everyone, especially Anna, shaking their head no.
She had a bite.
She chewed for a minute and swallowed. Everyone stared at her changing facial expressions, trying to figure out what it was she was thinking. She looked up.
"Oh my god." She said.
"What?" Derek said.
"That was so….amazing! Who made this? It's really yummy! I didn't know food could taste like this!"
Everyone's jaws were dropped.
"You really like it?" Kristoff asked excitedly.
"So much!"
He turned to Derek. "Oh I like her."
Anna kicked him under the table with her foot.
"Ow!" He said. "What was that for?"
She smirked at him and continued eating her food.
"Was your travel here ok?" Elsa asked Leia. It'd been a while since she said anything.
"Oh it was great! And the captain I had was really attractive."
"Which captain?!" Anna perked up.
"Captain Bjorn Gjerde."
"We had when we searched for Elsa and Derek! He is so attractive! I could barely breathe when I saw him for the first time! His brown hair and his blue eyes! He's just-"
"Anna!" Kristoff cut off.
'What?"
"Your fiancée is sitting right here."
"Oh hush! You know you're mine."
"Psh, well that new servant Anita is beautiful!" Kristoff said.
"Kristoff! How dare you? I am your fiancée! Stop looking at other girls!"
Everyone just laughed.
"See? It's not fun when your fiancée looks at other girls is it?"
Anna shook her head. "No…."
"Okay. Keep your thoughts in your head and I'll keep mine in my head. Deal?"
"Deal!" Anna said and they shook hands firmly.
"But!" She continued, "I don't want you even thinking about any other girls/"
"Deal."
"I'll show you to your room." Elsa said leading Leia down a long hallway that was very close to Derek's room.
"Thank you!"
"There is a bathroom in your suite and if you need anything, servants will attend you every hour. If anything else, please don't hesitate to come to me directly." She said warmly.
Elsa stopped in front of her doorway and opened it for her. Leia walked in and was amazed by what she saw. There was a king size bed against the middle of the wall. The walls were blue and the floor was white carpet. There were two large windows on each side of the bed which the sun seethed through setting an icy, yet comforting, tone on the room which was huge.
"Wow." Leia breathed.
"You'll get used to it. Let me know when you need anything and you are free to roam the castle whenever you feel like." She began to exit the room.
"Elsa?"
"Yes?"
"I've been wanting to talk to you about this whole….thing."
"Alright." Elsa walked back in and seated herself down on a couch and Leia shut the door.
"What would you like to talk about?"
She took a deep breath. "Okay Elsa. I could never thank you enough."
"Thank me? Thank me for what?"
"I think you should know that when Derek wrote me letters, he….he never stopped thanking you in them. He told me that you were the one that kept him going. He thinks that you are the most beautiful, kind, smart, courageous, and over all just a wonderful person. He really adores you, Elsa. He told me in the letter, 'she is the most beautiful snowflake that's ever fallen from the sky'."
"He….he did?" Elsa squeaked but then cleared her throat.
"Yeah. So thank you. Thank you so much for opening his eyes and teaching him to be strong."
"Oh I don't believe so. He is the one that taught me."
"You taught each other. He's just been so much happier. I noticed it the moment I saw him today."
Elsa was shocked. She never knew he thought so highly of her. In all honesty, she didn't know what to think. She really didn't. Should she like him…..that way.
"Thank you for telling me that." Elsa said, still in shock.
Leia just nodded and sat next to Elsa.
"Leia, I'd love to stay and talk but unfortunately I have documents, papers, and bills that need to be attended to."
"Oh no no it's okay! I understand, well kinda. We'll catch up later!"
"I look forward to it."
"And Elsa?" Leia asked before Elsa closed the door.
"Hm?"
"Give him a chance."
Elsa understood and nodded. She had work to do, but the only thing on her mind was Derek.
After a long day of being Elsa, she finally had time to go to sleep. It was midnight and she was sure Derek would be out walking in the hallways but her mind was too fluttered with emotions to want to walk off. She sighed as she signed the last document to a neighboring kingdom and leaned back in her chair.
She looked around her bedroom and noticed a small note underneath the door. She hesitated and stood up and walked over to the doorway. She looked down at the note and hesitated to pick it up, but she did.
"To snowflake." She read aloud.
She smelled it. It smelled good.
She opened it up and began to read in her head.
Dear Snowflake,
Before I start this, thanks for teaching me how to write. I guess it does come in handy! Well you can probably guess who this is. Derek. (If you were confused, however you're too smart for that) Anyways, I know you had a long day today with my sister coming and being queen is pretty challenging I would assume, so I just wanted to thank you for a perfect day! You are truly wonderful Elsa. Have a good night and I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight snowflake.
Always,
Derek.
P.S. When you're feeling mad or scared or stressed, just let it go!
Elsa giggled and closed the letter up and put it underneath her pillow. She laid down on her bed and let her mind wander. Before she knew it though, she was asleep.
No! No! Get out of the way hurry! NO! Oh my god! No please!"
Elsa cried.
"NO NO NO NO! HELP! HELP! DEREK PLEASE!"
She began kicking and screaming and sweating. She kicked all around like she was being brutally attacked.
Her bedroom door burst open and Derek saw Elsa screaming his name and kicking all around. He panicked and ran over to her and shook her as hard as he could.
"Elsa! Elsa wake up it's me, Derek!"
"HELP! DEREK STAY WITH ME!"
"I'm right here Elsa, I'm right! Please wake up!"
He shook her even harder and she got more defensive. She punched him in the shoulder twice while screaming for help.
"DEREK!"
"ELSA SNAP OUT OF IT I'M RIGHT HERE!" He shook her so hard that her eyes burst open with an ear piercing scream that scared Derek shitless.
"Elsa? I'm right here. I'm alive!"
"Derek! Oh my god you're still alive!" She screamed and pulled him down to a hug. He gathered her in his arms and hugged her as tightly as he ever could. She sobbed deeply into his chest and he stroked her back.
"it's okay snowflake. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."
After a few more minutes of crying and hugging, Elsa broke apart and looked up at Derek.
"Can you stay with me tonight?"
Derek looked astonished and tried to reason with her.
"A-are you really sure? I mean….."
"I just want someone to stay with me. I-I don't want to be aloe. I can't be away from you."
He smiled at her and rested on his side so Elsa could snuggle up next to him. She faced him, her hands against his broad chest and his arms tightly wrapped around her body, pulling her in closer to him.
"What uh…..what were you dreaming about?"
"The ship wreck. You tried to save me but a wave struck you down and you went under. I-I couldn't reach you and I tried calling for help but no one came."
"I am so sorry you dreamed that. I promise you that I won't be leaving you."
"Ever?" Her blue eyes eyed him.
He tapped her nose. "Never. Where you go, I go."
She buried her head into his chest and sighed.
"Elsa?"
"Hm?" She said dreamily.
"Can I…..never mind…."
"Yes." She answered.
"Huh?"
"Yes you can."
"I can what? You didn't even know what I was gonna ask."
She looked up at him. "I sure do."
"Oh yeah? What?"
"You can kiss me if you want." She said raising an eyebrow at him.
"You're good."
"So I've been told."
He stared at her.
"What?" She said.
"Nothing. You're just….oh god, you're beautiful! You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen in my entire life."
With that, he crashed his lips to hers and cupped her cheeks. She slid her arms around his neck and had them linger there. He deepened the kiss even harder and began to roll on top of her. He hovered over her as they kissed deeper and deeper, expressing all their love. They broke apart for a quick wisp of air and began again. He rolled her on top of him this time as he began to kiss under her neck and back up. His hand lingered on her hips and she sighed into the kiss as his hands circled her waist.
"Derek we….we have….we can't go any further."
He kissed her lips short and chaste and smiled at her before rolling back on the other side of the bed.
"Elsa?" He said completely out of breath.
"Yes?" She whispered.
"I…I'm falling for you."
She kissed his lips a few times and snuggled up next to him, pulling the covers over them.
"Goodnight Derek."
"Night snowflake…."
