Chapter 10: Awkward…

Elsa woke up by the streams of sunlight peeking through the curtains and the birds chirping outside her bed chambers. She yawned and stretched out, wriggling on the bed before she realized that the white bed sheet was now tangled around her body, her bare body.

The memory of the events last night came flooding in her mind and made blush crept on her cheeks. She turned to look at the other side of the bed and sure enough, a certain auburn haired Prince was snoring lightly beside her, his chest rose and fell along with his breathing.

She was married, to none other than her Prince in shining armor himself.

Sitting up and reaching out toward him, she stroked his cheek with the back of her hand gently as she admired his facial expression. He stirred under her touch, blinking away his sleepiness before turning to look at her, smiling. "Good morning, wife."

She smiled back mischievously. "Good morning, husband."

He reached up and stroked her cheek. Sitting up with his elbow supporting him, he pressed his lips against her tenderly, pulling away a moment later to properly sit up on the bed. He wrapped his arms around her slender body, pulling her onto his lap.

He began planting soft kisses all over her neck, earning soft moans from the Queen. "You look beautiful…" he murmured against her neck, hovering just above her pulse. He ran his fingers through her mussed platinum blonde hair that was cascading on her back like waterfall and reached to her lower back. She hummed in reply, her eyes shut close and her head threw back to give him better access to her pale neck.

"Your Majesty, are you up?" Gerda's voice came from the other side of the door as she knocked on the door. "The breakfast will ready soon."

Elsa's eyes shot opened and widened almost instantly, but Hans kept going on his business with her neck, not minding a thing. "Y-yes, Gerda." She bit down her lower lip, trying her best not to suppress a moan. "I-I'll be out soon. Thank you, Gerda."

There was a moment of silence from the outside. "Alright then, Your Majesty." the servant replied, "If you need anything, just call Me." and with that she walked away from the door.

The Queen sighed in relief and pushed her new husband away from her neck, earning a pout from him. She chuckled and kissed it away, turning it into a smile. "Let's get up, darling… I'm hungry."

~O~

"So, how's your night going?"

The question escaped from the Princess' lips almost made the Queen of Arendelle choked on her own soup. Her pale cheeks turned red almost instantly as she looked at her sister wide eyed. "W-what?!"

"Oh, don't try and hide it, Elsa." Anna said, waving her hand dismissively. "No one could avoid hearing 'sexy back' at 3 in the morning."

Elsa's face turned even redder as Kristoff tried, and mostly failed, to suppress his laughter. She turned to see Hans already has his face in his hands, his ears red from embarrassment. She swatted her husband's arm in annoyance. "Oh good job on letting everyone know." She said sarcastically.

Anna was grinning from ear to ear. "Don't worry Elsa, you're technically married. You're allowed to do things with your husband." She said, shrugging as she took another bite of her bread.

"But people aren't supposed to hear!" Elsa said, almost too quickly. She took a deep breath to calm herself after she noticed the surface of her tea was already frozen. "Anna, we don't need to discuss this any further."

The strawberry blonde haired Princess nodded. "Yea, I don't want to talk about it either. It's becoming kinda awkward."

Kinda? This is very awkward! The Queen cleared her throat and nodded. "Well, alright then. Why don't we talk about you and Kristoff instead?"

"Wait, what?" the Ice Master asked,

Elsa smiled at him. "I think you and Hans need some 'manly' time together. You know, to discuss things… while Anna and I will have some 'sisterly chat'."

"I don't like the sound of it." Anna said, "I mean the way you said 'sisterly chat'."

"Don't worry; I won't do any harmful things to you." Elsa said, getting up from her seat. "Shall we?"

"Wait, now?"

"Yes, of course."

The strawberry blonde haired Princess looked at her sister, but her face was unreadable, so she sighed in defeat, getting up from her seat as well. "Fine."

~O~

"So, what was the Queen meant with you and I need some 'manly' time together, Your Majesty?" the blonde Mountain man asked the King.

Hans chuckled and shook his head. "Please Kristoff, its Hans. I already consider you as my friend, besides you're dating my wife's sister, so no need of formalities."

Kristoff nodded, "Okay then, Hans."

The King nodded, his hands clasped behind his back as they walked in the gardens. "You see, Elsa has been thinking…"

"About?"

"Your relationship with Anna." Hans looked at the mountain man for a second. "She asked me to talk to you."

"Umm… do I suppose to be afraid right now?"

The auburn haired man chuckled. "Of what? Elsa won't freeze you. She just wanted to make sure that you love her sister truly instead of seeking for a place in the royal family."

"I'm sorry if I may sound rude," the blonde mountain man said. "But honesty, I love Anna so, so, much and I date her truly based on love. I don't care if she's a Princess, it doesn't matter to me. I don't want to marry her just because of her status."

Hans nodded understandingly. "Good, good. So when do you want to marry her?"

The question completely unexpected by Kristoff, and it made him almost tripped over his own foot. "I-I…"

"It's one of the reasons why Elsa asked us to talk." The auburn haired King said. "Seeing that both you and Anna are so deeply in love, she wants to make sure that you two will end up together. So, any plans on proposing the Princess?"

Kristoff rubbed the back of his neck shyly. "Actually, yes. You see, I want to propose her when the time is right, but I haven't found that time yet so…"

"Don't worry, no rushing from the Queen." Hans said reassuringly. "It's better to take things calmly but throughout instead of rushing and missing many details."

The mountain man nodded. "Of course."
