(Elsa)
In such great surprise, Elsa sat up in a start. Never before had those words been delivered to her in a romantic way. It was Anna who had always told her that, in the most sisterly fashion without a hint of doubt. This was the first time anyone had ever told it to her, and meant it fully, in a different way.
"…me?" Elsa asked, too shocked to accept it. She grabbed the pillow nearest to her and used it to cover herself up while her cheeks flushed. "No, no…that can't be right…"
"Why would you say that?" Alu asked, confused greatly by her reaction.
"Because…well, you'd be the first to say it like that…and everything just seems…so fast…a-and maybe you're just infatuated, though I don't know why you would be…with me…and this will pass before the morrow…" Suddenly, there was a great deal of doubt in Elsa's mind in regards to…everything. She'd always been one to panic or jump to nervous conclusions. This was no acceptation.
(Alu)
Hearing Elsa react in such a way…hurt, but Alu refused to let it deter her from the person she truly loved. She wasn't a person to regret what had been said or done. She sure as hell wasn't going to take this back. Snow began falling and swirling around the room in a miniature blizzard. In the back of her mind Alu was surprised to see how similar her and Elsa were. Their powers reacted upon their emotions and from the intensity of this blizzard, Elsa was undoubtedly scared. That's when Alu realized that nobody had ever truly told her that she was loved. Like, in love with her.
Elsa's face was still buried in her pillow; she refused to look at Alu. So she dared to reach out and touch the Snow Queen, her hand resting on Elsa's shoulder. It was like she had touched dry ice, she felt and heard her skin squeak as the moisture was sucked from it. It stung, stung like salt in a wound. "No. I will not give up on you!" Alu yelled to herself. So she scooted forward and wrapped her arms around Elsa, her skin screamed but she fought through the pain with no more than a hiss. Alu's mouth rested by her ear.
"I love you, Elsa. I'm not forcing you to say it back and I'm not asking you to say it b-back. Y-you deserved to b-be l-loved." Alu shivered almost uncontrollably, she had never been so cold before. "I p-promise you t-that my f-feelings for you will never c-change. N-no force one heaven or e-earth will ever make me t-think less of y-you. You c-can't measure love in t-the length of time you know somebody. L-love knows no b-boundaries. Love doesn't c-come with conditions or codes. Love is p-putting someone else's needs b-before your own."
(Elsa)
In a fright, Elsa tried to yank away. She could hear Alu chattering, and should have known that their opposite elements would clash at some point; the last thing the Queen wanted to do was injure Lu, though. That's what she seemed to be doing at the moment, so she needed to stop it.
"Lu, you're freezing! Let me go! I…I'm hurting you! Stop!" she begged, trying desperately to move away from her lover. It made her heart ache to plead with those words, but she would not be the thing that caused Alu pain. She just couldn't be.
Her powers had always been something to fear as she grew up; she had no control over them, and therefore saw herself as a threat. But now she knew how to counteract their abilities and tame them…somewhat. Around Alu, she seemed to be slipping further and further out of that mindset. She realized she loved this woman with all her heart, the way she loved Anna so dearly as her sister. But it came with a cost; terrible understanding that she could be the force that damaged or killed her suitor in disguise. There was little way for her to handle that thought. "Alu, please!" Elsa cried, "I'll end up hurting you; you're getting too cold!"
(Alu)
By this point Alu was so numb, Elsa's cold couldn't do her more harm. You couldn't freeze a dragon's molten heart, not even the Queen of Ice and Snow. She could feel Elsa trying to escape her grip, but she kept her grip strong. "You're getting too cold!" She cried out over the roar of her blizzard. "Please calm down my love. I-I'm not here to break your h-heart. I'm here show y-you how to not b-be scared to love. Please E-Elsa…I love y-you so much. Y-you h-hold my heart, my dearest." Alu pleaded to Elsa.
Alu wanted nothing more than to overcome Elsa's powers with hers, send a heat wave to melt her snow and warm her body. But she knew it would probably only enhance her panic. For once in her life Alu had to force herself into submission, Elsa was in charge. She lifted one of her hands to peer at it; it had gone dark with frostbite. It wouldn't be permanent; her fire could heal most wounds.
(Elsa)
"Calm down…" Elsa commanded herself harshly, clenching her eyes shut and trying to focus on what she knew would thaw her surroundings and draw back some of the warmth; love. It was there, it was everywhere around the pair of them. It's what Elsa knew she felt whenever Alu was close to her, or even when she'd be far. But in order to love her back, properly, she couldn't let fear control her.
Calm down. Calm. Down.
"Alu…" The Snow Queen whimpered. No. Try again. Be strong in front of her; be strong for her! "Alu…" she said again, though this time she forced the quiver out of her voice and made herself steady. "I..I-I… If you stay frightened, you'll only hurt her more. Get it together. Control it! "I love you, Alu…so, so….so much!" And finally, with this confession, the temperature began to steadily rise again and the snow storm died down, Elsa prayed that Alu would start to heat again, but refused to open her eyes for fear of seeing the woman who had stolen her heart in a terrible position or hurt in any way, be it the simplest shiver or frost bite the color of the night sky.
(Alu)
Alu squeezed her eyes together to prevent herself from crying over what she had just heard. She could feel the temperature in the room starting to rise again along with her core temperature. Alu could feel the frost that had accumulated on her shoulders melt and stream down her body. It made her shiver and whimper a little. The sound made Elsa finally peek up from her pillow and she gasped. Alu pulled away from Elsa for the moment. Her muscles aching from the intense cold her body just went through. "Oh my God…A-Alu…are you alright?" She asked through her tears. Smokey frostbite coated her shoulders, biceps, forearms, and palms; even her lips had gone blue. "I-I assure you that I'm fine, my love." Elsa's hands slapped themselves to her mouth, preventing herself from crying.
"Just h-hold on. I'm h-heating up right now." Alu panted as if she had run a marathon, and Elsa watched as her wounds started to regain their pale pink fleshy tone. Her lips were back to the perfect pink skin. When Alu finally opened her eyes they were almost golden in color. The color faded back to her dark brown eyes. "See?…all better my love." Alu reached out and cupped Elsa's cheek while using her thumb to wipe away her tears. Elsa cuddled her face into Alu's palm, her nose and lips rubbing into the hot flesh. She kissed her palm and continued up her arm. Elsa got on all fours and kissed up to Alu's shoulder, following her neck and jawline to plant a passionate kiss on her lips.
"I love you, Alu. So much."
"I love you too, Elsa. More than you can possibly imagine."
