Here Comes The Sun
Chapter 8
By: The Duchess of Arendelle
1 Week Later
"Anna no. Stop it." Elsa huffed out in aggravation. Anna just smiled cheekily and continued. "Anna I'm serious. Stop it, someone is going to see us." Even as she said it Elsa's façade began to crack. She was trying her hardest to hold back a smile.
"What are you talking about dear Queen Elsa of Arendelle?" Anna asked with a now mischievous grin spread across her face. Elsa sighed heavily and rolled her eyes even as her smile grew. "Anna, we can't continue these kissing sessions in my office. What if Kai or Gerda or one of the servants walked in on us?" She then let out a soft yelp as Anna's tongue gently explored the left side of her neck, in that spot just below her ear. Elsa was sitting in a chair at her desk. Anna was perched in her lap, whispering in her ear as she tried to talk Elsa into abandoning the rest of her work. Anna herself hadn't been back to her etiquette tutor in over two weeks. She was sure Lady Branson was pissed. Anna could care less.
"Anna please…" she trailed off, moaning as Anna hit a particularly sensitive spot. Elsa knew where this was heading. It always started out this way. Anna would come into her office and shamelessly flirt with her. The young princess had become quite bold. Then she would start kissing Elsa, whispering in her ear, lips trailing down her neck. They would start with a heavy make out session. But then it always ended in Anna trying for more and Elsa shying away with apologetic eyes. She would tell Anna that she was not ready to take it there yet and Anna, flushed, would nod her head and give Elsa some much needed breathing room.
"Come on Elsa. You can finish that later. I want you all to myself." Anna said throwing Elsa the 'puppy dog' look. One person she knew would never say no to her 'puppy dog' look was Elsa.
Things had been going really great for the feisty princess and ice queen. After their little stint in the ballroom they left and headed straight for Elsa's chambers. They laid in the blonde's bed, kissing and talking, well into the early hours of the morning. Elsa continued to tell Anna how much she loved and cared for her, and Anna continued to show Elsa just how much she loved and cared for her. After years of hardly any human contact, the two clung to each other like a drowning man to a life preserver. That's how a smiling Rapunzel and a limping Kristoff found them the next day. It was Rapunzel's idea to surprise the two with lunch in bed, since they had both slept through breakfast. It didn't really go as planned. Apparently, Anna's instinct when she is startled awake is to punch, and Elsa's is to freeze. So Kristoff ended up with a black eye to accompany his limp and Rapunzel ended up with a 3 day cold.
Now, as Anna sat in Elsa's lap in the royal office, Elsa was beginning to regret the 'My door is always open for you Anna' policy she put into place days ago. Anna didn't hesitate to take her up on that offer. She was relentless and today she was bolder than ever. She slowly ran a petite hand down the front of Elsa's chest, as she smirked into a passionate kiss. Anna broke the kiss as Elsa stared at her dazed.
"So? Are we leaving this stuffy room or not?" she asked as Elsa continued to stare at her, chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. Anna's hand still rested on her right breast. Elsa opened her mouth to say 'hell yes' when a knock came at the door. They scrambled to properly adjust themselves as Elsa shouted a hasty, "Just a second!" Elsa stood to straighten her clothes, forgetting Anna was still in her lap. Anna fell to the floor with a hard thud. She groaned as she picked herself up and dusted off her clothes. "Your majesty? Are you alright?" It was Kai. Of course it was Kai, he usually checks on her everyday around this time.
"I'm quite alright Kai! Anna just took a little spill, you know how clumsy she can get." Elsa called back. Anna glared at her and stuck out her tongue. Elsa just smiled sweetly and made her way over to the door. She threw open the door and Kai was standing on the other side looking slightly bewildered. "Hello Kai, come in, please." Elsa directed him to one of the seats in front of her desk, Anna was occupying the other. Elsa took her seat and smiled gently at Kai. The man seemed a bit nervous. "And to what do I owe the pleasure of your company today Kai?" Elsa asked kindly but with very slight undertones of annoyance. Kai didn't pick up on it but Anna did, and she smirked. Kai cleared his throat and looked at the queen. Something looked a little off with her, and the princess too. They had a slight disheveled appearance to them but Kai said nothing of it and instead spoke to the queen.
"Yes, well, your majesty. As you know, you ordered for the castle gates to remain open and visitors are free to visit Arendelle anytime they like." He stopped and looked to the queen for confirmation. She shook her head slightly and Kai continued. "And you also know that it's been almost 2 month's since your coronation and…'The Incident.'" He paused and the queen shook her head again. Her brow was furrowed in confusion, not knowing where he was going with this. Kai cleared his throat once more. He looked even more nervous.
"Well, your majesty, the people of Arendelle and neighboring dignitaries, have expressed interest in Arendelle holding another ball since the first one was… well interrupted." he knew Elsa did not like large groups of people, even though she was becoming better with dealing with them. She even started letting her people come to the castle's grounds for ice skating with the queen. The people adored their queen and wanted to see more of her. The look that came across Elsa's face was exactly what he'd predicted it would be. Confusion, understanding, fear, hesitance, and just a tiny bit of anger. Elsa opened her mouth to give Kai a solid 'no' but not one but two loud squeals cut her off. One was from the redhead sitting across from her, bouncing excitedly in her seat, and the other was from a green eyed blonde standing in the doorway with a cup of steaming hot tea.
"Elsa! Elsa! Please say yes! Please! Let's do it, let's have another ball!" Anna was super excited and Rapunzel had ran into the room, dropping her tea, and grabbing Anna's hands as they both bounced excitedly in place. "Yay a ball! I love balls! Oh! But what am I going to wear? I didn't pack any fancy gowns!" Rapunzel asked panicking.
"Don't worry we can have you one made! Oh, we have to get a start on that now! We have to get our measurements taken!"
"Anna…"
"And pick out the fabric!"
"Rapunzel…"
"And the color! What color should I wear?"
"Anna…"
"Oh, something bold and different definitely!"
"Rapunzel…"
"How about…"
"YOU GUYS!" Elsa raised her voice and finally got their attention.
Two sets of hopeful eyes stared back at her, each with their own version of their famed 'puppy dog' looks. Elsa sighed, defeated before she could even protest.
"I think you two have plenty of time to prepare for the ball. It is in 3 weeks after all."
Anna and Rapunzel stared at her and then squealed again, tackling the queen in a fierce hug. She was trapped between the two excited princess's and their chorus of 'thank yous'. She turned her head and gave a halfhearted glare at Kai who was now smiling and chuckling lightly. He announced that he would begin the preparations and start sending out the invitations.
The hug between the three girls finally ended. Elsa straightened up and cleared her throat. "Kai, every kingdom is welcomed. Every kingdom except Weaslton and The Southern Isle." Elsa sounded disgusted at even having to speak the names of the two countries. Kai didn't look too happy to hear the names of the countries either. "Of course your majesty." And with that he gave a dignified bow and left the room, visibly happier then when he first entered.
"Well, it looks like were hosting another ball." Elsa sighed, looking at Anna. Anna giggled happily. She then grabbed Elsa and pulled her into a chaste kiss, right in front of Rapunzel. Elsa broke the kiss and the resulting blush was enough to rival Anna hair color. "Anna!" she gasped scandalized as she casted a worried glance over at Rapunzel who was just smiling at the two.
"What? It's not like she hasn't already seen us kissing before. Have you forgotten the first time we were introduced to her?" Anna replied nonchalantly, hands still intertwined around Elsa's neck. Rapunzel was nodding along vigorously. Elsa's blushed deepened, if that was even possible. Rapunzel and Anna both laughed at Elsa's embarrassment and Elsa huffed in return. The two princess's sobered and Anna gave Elsa a peck on the cheek before untangling herself and dragging Rapunzel into one of the two chairs that sat in front of Elsa's desk. Anna reclaimed the other seat and both princess's talked animatedly about the upcoming ball.
'I'm never going to get through all this work with these two around.' Elsa thought to herself but smiled at the happy, excited look on her sister's face. Then she frowned slightly. With balls came young, single, handsome, princes. All of them would no doubt want to talk and dance with Anna. Could she handle that? Could she handle some handsome 'Prince Charming' wannabe putting their hands all over Anna, pressing her close?
The answer was no. Hell no.
What if Anna fell for one of those smooth talking jokers again? Like with Hans the asshole. Elsa was now starting to worry her bottom lip. She got up and excused herself from Anna and Rapunzel's presence, claiming a headache. Swatting away their worried questions, Elsa smiled at the two and hurriedly made her way out the huge office. Anna knew better. She knew that was one the fake smiles Elsa reserved for treaty and trade negotiations. She decided that she would wait and confront Elsa about it later.
Elsa absentmindedly walked down the castle's hall, still thinking about Anna, and the ball, and the gorgeous princes that would be sure to come. There was only one way to make sure Anna stayed by her side all night, eyes only on Elsa. She turned a corner opening a door that lead to old stairs. She walked down to the servant's wing. As she walked into an open eating/lounge area, the servants laughter instantly died down at the sight of their queen. They all scurried up and out of their sits bowing or curtsying.
"Please, don't mind me at all. This is your dwelling and you may pretend I'm not even here. I was only looking for the royal dress maker. There's an upcoming ball." She smiled and they all relaxed, just a bit. 'I'll definitely be able to keep Anna's attention on me and only me.'
