Thanks, everyone!
People always talked. It was the inevitable truth of the world. As Queen, she didn't hear those whispers as much as she did now. She was hidden behind the crown, and when she took it off, she wasn't expecting what came after.
Elsa just let out a breath. She had been different all of her life and she was okay with that. After the events with the Northuldra and the spirits of the Enchanted Forest, she thought she came to terms with that.
But even the strong felt ostracized when you catch people red-handed. She could tell herself all day it didn't hurt, but that was a lie.
"Are you okay?" Olaf's voice floated beside her.
She glanced down at him; he was looking up at her with wide eyes and a concerned frown. She had been walking around town for a while now, taking the time to see Arendelle and the people that lived within it. Many of the citizens came up to her to greet her, some children asking for little things made of ice, which she happily obliged.
"Oh, yes. I'm fine, Olaf." She told absently.
"You don't sound fine. You sound like you're doing that thing you do when you're sad."
Elsa looked at him out of her peripheral. Olaf has gotten more astute over the past year. "And what's that?"
"Pushing everyone away." He whispered.
Elsa's steps stuttered, and she clenched her fist at her side, taking a seat on the small fountain that sat in the market square.
"I'm not pushing everyone away. I just," she looked out across the town square. Watching as children frittered across and laughter flowed between everyone there. "I feel like it's easier to not be a burden with my emotions so I close myself off until I can sort them." She told honestly for once.
Some toxic traits still needed to be fixed, but old habits die hard.
Olaf struggled to get on the old fountain ledge and Elsa helped him up. Once she situated himself, he swung his legs over the edge casually. "But we want you to burden us with those things."
"I know, Olaf."
He leapt up, walking and bouncing happily along the water fountain and humming a tune. "Oh look, Ah Ha is coming!"
Elsa jerked her head up to see Keahi looking over the crowd. Searching and skimming over everyone until Keahi's gaze caught her own.
When it did, the woman smiled and jogged over to the two.
Elsa glanced away, folding her hands in her lap.
Keahi let out a breath, bowing playfully and producing a small yellow tulip from behind her back.
Just as Elsa went to gingerly take it, Olaf gasped beside her and snatched the flower. "Thanks, Ah Ha you didn't have to!"
Elsa and Keahi shared a look before they both laughed. Keahi stood up straight and adjusted her vest. Her hair was smoothed back, and the few braids that were filled with colorful twine and beads were taken out. Her hair was in a slick ponytail. A green with gold trim vest rested perfectly over a long sleeve white button-up with the sleeves rolled to her elbows. The same green with gold trim color adorned her fresh pair of slacks. "I got dressed up for you!" Keahi announced, jumping back and spreading her arms.
Elsa blinked back surprise and giggled. "Why? I like your hair the way it was, twine and all." Elsa stood and reached over, coiling a black strand of thick hair around her finger before drawing back.
Keahi wrinkled her nose, rubbing the back of her neck. "Well, I don't want people to look at me and judge you...because of me. You know, trying not to look like...a pirate. Are you okay, you know, from earlier?"
Elsa looked away. "I'm fine."
"You say that, but I'm not so sure," Keahi told lowly.
Elsa shrugged, but both Olaf and Keahi were watching her intently. She gave out a brisk laugh. "I'm fine, really."
Olaf took a deep breath, about to belt out a tune.
Elsa put her hands in front of her to stop him, "No don't I'm —"
Whatever was about to be sung died on his lips and Olaf leaned over to Keahi, holding his hand in front of his mouth as if it would muffle his words. "She's just jealous because she's a little pitchy."
Keahi scowled, "We both know that's not true, Olaf." She told him, bumping him with her shoulder playfully and reached out to take Elsa's hand.
Keahi leaned in to rest their foreheads together before pulling back.
"Did you think I was going to sing?" Keahi asked in a singsong voice, she hitched a thumb to Olaf. "Because that's his job, not mine." She continued in her singsong voice.
Keahi rounded behind her to Elsa's side, taking her hands from behind so Keahi's chest pressed to her back as they moved as Keahi hummed to the tune of everyday life, the loopy wagon wheels that squeaked, children laughing, people chatting, and Keahi spun her gently to that. "Arendelle is lucky to have you and look. They don't care about what we're doing. Those stuffy old royals have no idea what Arendelle is about. Or you. But Anna does, and Kristoff." Keahi dropped her hand and leapt onto the edge of the fountain, helping a stumbling and laughing Olaf up to join her.
"Because we are magnificent." Olaf sang in his alto tone, puffing out his chest.
Keahi laughed, "Yes, what he said." Keahi offered her hand to Elsa.
She stared at it, stared at Olaf who also offered his twiggy hand with an open gaped smile.
All those broken pieces were always hidden and self mended. She continued to push Anna and everyone's help as she tried to mend it herself. Giving away all of yourself, broken parts and all, was a scary thing.
But when she looked up at the warmth in Keahi's eyes and the hope in Olaf's, she found such strength there. She hesitantly took Keahi's hand. Keahi pulled her up. Olaf put a hand on her leg.
"I told you, you never had to be anything other than what you are," Keahi whispered. Trying to finish off her speech with grandiose, Keahi tried to shoot off some fireworks from her hands and scowled when they fizzled then nothing happened.
"Don't worry it happens to everyone," Olaf whispered.
Elsa giggled and put her hands under Keahi's. Poor Keahi. Elsa shot off fireworks of ice from beneath Keahi's hands. They exploded into the air as snowy powder fell softly to the ground.
She tapped her foot against the fountain; it caused the water to warp into a beautifully solid design that couldn't be replicated even if someone tried.
The kids and even some adults joined in and started humming the tune that Olaf created as the floor of the marketplace turned to ice.
People and children laughed happily as they skated across the streets.
Keahi stepped down, helping both Elsa and Olaf down.
Elsa glanced up at Keahi who was grinning, then put a hand on Olaf as he hugged her side. All three glanced out into the happily skating Arendellians.
Olaf skated like an expert across the ice and Keahi decided this was the best time to attempt to skate.
It wasn't long until Keahi slipped. Elsa tried to help her from falling but got pulled down in the process.
Then Olaf bowled into them.
All three of them looked at one another and started laughing.
Elsa just smiled warmly at the two. "Thank you."
Disclaimer: please stop reading here if you are uncomfortable with sexually explicit content. Thank you!
"I hate themmmmm!" Anna complained as she ran to Elsa and wrapped her in a hug.
Elsa laughed lightly and hugged Anna back. Keahi, Olaf, and herself had wandered around town most of the day while Anna and Kristoff finished their diplomatic responsibilities.
But it was already late and the moon crested high, though tonight, gray clouds drifted over most of the stars and moon. Light only managing to dapple through when the clouds drifted enough to give way to a spackle of light.
"I'm sure they aren't so bad." Elsa tried to cheer Anna up, her sister only puffed her cheeks and sighed.
"We didn't even get to have dinner together." Anna sighed dramatically, looking behind Elsa to Keahi who waved. "Hi Ki!"
"Hi Anna!" Keahi cheerfully waved with a lopsided grin.
Anna let out a tired sigh, swiping at her hair. "Let's have breakfast in the morning and we'll catch up with everything, okay?"
"Of course. Tell Kristoff thanks for sticking up for us today." Elsa smiled.
Anna gave a cheeky grin poking Elsa in the nose. "Kristoff and I will beat up that whole flock of hens for you two." Anna leapt up and gave Elsa another vigorous hug, swaying her from side to side before finally breaking free and heading down the hall. "I'll see you both in the morning!" She called, waving wildly before turning the corner.
Olaf followed her, skipping and humming as he headed back to his room.
Elsa shook her head and turned to look back at Keahi as the two headed back to her old bedroom.
Closing the door behind them, Keahi ran and leapt onto the plush, magenta and green comforter. "I have to say, I love coming to visit Arendelle." She practically purred, already starting to take off her boots and vest.
Elsa took off her boots, then shed her travel overcoat and put it on the coat hanger. She shook her head and ran her hand over the dresser, opening the top drawer and looking at the old gloves that collected dust there. She shoved it closed and opened the second drawer to get out a nightgown. "I wonder what you would have thought of me if you met me a few years ago." Elsa mused aloud.
She nearly jumped when the soft footsteps stopped just behind her and arms came around her waist, Keahi's chin resting on her shoulder. "I would have thought you were just as endearingly awkward as you are now."
Elsa scowled, leaning back into Keahi's hold. "I'm not that awkward!" She retorted, laughing when Keahi bit at her neck and blew air there.
"You are so cute and endearing, you know I wouldn't take you any other way other than what you are. You are perfect."
Elsa twisted, so they were chest to chest, Keahi wouldn't let her go as she gripped her hips to keep them close. Elsa played with the flap on Keahi's vest, mumbling. "I'm far from perfect."
"Hmm, are you sure? You smell like vanilla and lavender and your voice is so pretty."
Elsa scowled, but it dipped down into a frown. "But, you heard them. I'm odd."
"Odd? You take on the whole world without complaining once. You sacrificed your own freedom because you thought everyone else would be better off. You're quiet but your facial expressions give away every thought in your head. Did I miss anything? I love all those because you are so complex and yet," Keahi leaned down and kissed her cheek, "...you don't let a lot in and somehow, I navigated that and honestly I'd be a little jealous if you let many people in."
Elsa sucked in a breath, butterflies swimming in her stomach, the feeling rushed through her veins and made her feel light and almost dizzy. "Why do you do that?" She tightened her grip on Keahi's vest.
"What's that?"
"Make me feel so important." Elsa sighed, tilting her head up, practically begging for a kiss.
Keahi leaned in, lips hovering just over Elsa's enough to tease as their breath mingled. "You are so important," Keahi whispered, cupping her face in her hands and finally pressing her lips there.
Elsa put a hand to Keahi's chest, moving her back until Keahi sat on the bed. Elsa didn't break the kiss as her tongue delved deeper, exploring and inquisitive as she straddled Keahi's hips.
Keahi gripped her, moving them together and grinding them closer.
A tingle started deep in her stomach, spreading out to every inch of her body until heat started at the junction of her thighs.
Keahi raked her teeth against the sensitive skin of her neck, causing a moan to escape Elsa's lips as she continued to explore Elsa with her hands as they dipped below her blue travel dress to trace her fingers along the inside of her thigh and higher.
Her hips surged forward instinctively and her throat was suddenly dry as she buried her head on the nook of Ki's neck, embarrassed.
Poor Ki. She always had to take her time with her. Since Christmas, she could count on one hand how many times they had successfully made love.
Elsa always over thought it. Always got nervous. And was always anxious.
And Ki... was always so patient.
"Do you want me to stop?" The husky tremble of Keahi's voice pulled her from her own head.
"No." she whispered, wrapping her arms around Keahi's neck and delving into a kiss. Keahi's warm hands slid under her top, flush against her skin as calloused hands ran over her stomach, her back, and upward in a lazy exploration until Keahi tugged her shirt upward.
She hesitated before unweaving her arms from Keahi and lifting her arms up to help as Ki tugged off the ice blue shirt and tossed it on the floor.
Her cheeks flushed hot and she couldn't hold eye contact. Luckily, Keahi leaned in to brush light kisses from her jaw, to her neck, collarbone, trailing languidly to her breast. Ki brushed her teeth along the sensitive tip there, causing liquid heat to shoot through her as she arched into Keahi's mouth.
Her tongue, both rough and velvet-smooth as it lapped over her nipple. A heat pooled between her thighs and Elsa gripped the thick, dark trestles of Keahi's hair.
All thoughts left her head, and every insecurity blew like a breeze out the window.
Keahi braced one arm like a vice grip across her back, pinning her to her lap while Ki pressed her palm to the junction of her thighs.
Even with her pants on she could feel the intense heat there, the spark of pleasure rolled through her body as she rocked her hips against Keahi's hand.
Keahi flipped her over, the motion smooth as she kissed her flushed skin and moved down her body where she kissed the hollow of her stomach.
Her body twitched, Keahi's calloused hands went under her pants to slowly strip them off. Elsa averted her gaze towards the ceiling, closing her eyes tightly as the sporadic beating of her heart deafened out everything else.
Ki trailed kisses back up until their lips met again, her body smothered by the hard yet supple contours of Keahi's body.
Elsa melted into Keahi's kiss, she could feel Keahi's body heat as she raked her nails under Ki's shirt against the muscles of her stomach. Rolling up her shirt, they broke the kiss just long enough to tug it over Ki's head and toss it in the growing pile on the floor.
Elsa twisted the button on Ki's pants, biting the woman's lip lightly and dragging out a hiss of air from Ki as Elsa dipped her fingers into her pants.
Ki was warm and wet against her fingers, the cold clashing with the molten heat of Ki's core. She pressed her fingers there, getting braver when a ragged breath and moan dragged just long enough from Ki's lips before she kissed Elsa again, more aggressively this time. Ki's hips thrust harder into her hand.
Keahi wouldn't admit it. But Elsa knew from their few past experiences — she was very sensitive.
Ki's breath sputtered out heavily, and Elsa couldn't help but feel sexy and powerful that she could have Ki in the palm of her hand and that she could give her such insurmountable pleasure.
It made her own body shiver as the expert strokes of Ki's tongue explored her mouth. Keahi dropped her head to Elsa's shoulder, kissing there and taking in a sharp breath, the woman's body vibrating as she coiled one hand into the blankets.
Elsa gasped and pulled her hand back when Ki sat up suddenly to drag her back into her lap, her hands trailing down Elsa's abdomen where her finger pressed against the wetness at the junction of her thighs.
Elsa wrapped her legs around her hips, leaning her head against Ki's shoulder. Her toes curled when Ki slid her fingers slowly inside her.
Her hips started to move instinctively in the rhythm of Ki's gentle thrusts. With each movement, Ki pressed her palm tightly against her and her body tingled and warm, feeling like a spring was twisting tighter and tighter.
She wrapped her arms around Keahi, pulling her as close as she could, her body stiffening and slowing when she felt a wave of euphoria erupt in every cell of her body as she trembled and her climax rocked her body all the way down to her curled toes.
A whimpering moan ripped from her lips, but Ki swallowed it with a kiss to drown out the sound so the only thing that echoed in the room was the sound of them both breathing heavily.
Elsa pulled back just enough that her lips were just a fraction from Keahi's, she gulped in air trying to get the rapid beating of her heart and her rasping breath under control.
When she did, she slumped against Keahi, arms wrapped around her as every muscle in her body felt relaxed and spent.
It was a delicious feeling.
Keahi kissed her shoulder, chuckling breathlessly. "Feel better?"
She scowled, pulling back to look at her, taking her nails through Ki's hair. "Mm, actually," she whispered, kissing her again. Cupping Ki's face and pulling away to rest their foreheads together. "Yes."
