Chapter 12 - I'll Always Love You
The next morning, Snowflake was sat beside the window in hers and Elsa's apartment, looking over at the now cordoned off district of the city. She could hear the low moans of the creatures that were once human, changed by the same condition as her.
She knew that in her heart that she wasn't responsible for their suffering, but yet she still felt guilty about it all. She also felt fear that the same could happen to her, that she would devolve into a savage, mindless creature.
Snowflake couldn't bear to do that to Elsa. She had to hope that Hans would find a way to reverse the virus, to change everyone back to normal.
She sighed, yawning softly. She hadn't gotten much sleep and Moana had insisted she not come to work for a while, lest more people try and attack her.
As she moped by the window, her beloved Elsa woke up, sitting up straight in her bed.
"Morning Snowflake," Elsa greeted her, stretching her arms up in the air. She then noticed where she was. "Have you been there all night?"
Snowflake nodded. "Yes."
"You haven't slept at all?"
Snowflake nodded again. "I can't stop thinking about it Elsa... those people, their suffering. I can't help feel responsible for it all."
"Snowflake it's not your fault," Elsa expressed. "You aren't responsible for this virus."
"No, but I am a kindred spirit to those things," Snowflake admitted. "The same cold fluid runs through our veins... and it could only be a matter of time before I become like them too."
"No, you won't become like that, Snowflake," Elsa vowed. "I promise, I won't let that happen."
The blonde walked over to her, planting soft kisses on Snowflake's cheeks and collarbone. She then wrapped warm, loving hands around her, giving her a protective embrace.
Snowflake sighed. "You shouldn't be with me... All I'm doing is putting you at risk."
"It's a risk I like to take, my love," Elsa replied, before ruffling Snowflake's white hair. "I love you so much."
Snowflake held Elsa's hand, feeling relaxed. "I... love you too."
"Would you like something to eat? I know I bought some bread the other day... I figured you might want a sandwich."
Snowflake shook her head. "It's alright. I might just have one of those old candy bars later."
"Okay." Elsa yawned again, before heading to the bathroom. "I'll be leaving for work soon, but you'll be okay on your own, right?"
"Sure, sure," Snowflake said, smiling at her with a loving gaze.
Once Elsa had showered herself and put on her jacket and uniform, she looked over at Snowflake, backpack slung over her shoulder.
She sighed, knowing how vulnerable Snowflake was, how depressed she was right there and then. She needed to do something to cheer her up.
"Hey," Elsa then spoke. "Why don't we go out tonight? You and me, on a real date."
"A date? Now?" Snowflake wondered, seeming confused. "Elsa... with all that's going on..."
"Don't worry, just for tonight." She walked over to her and put her hand on Snowflake's cheek, stroking it softly. "We can go to Kristoff's bar, if that's alright?"
Snowflake nodded. "Okay... I haven't seen Kristoff in ages. It will be good to see him again."
Elsa smiled, kissing Snowflake on the lips. "See you tonight then, my sweet." She then made her way out of the apartment, shutting the door behind her.
Snowflake sighed, sitting down on the bed. She was grateful to be with Elsa, loving, caring Elsa. She wanted to put the thoughts of those in pain out of her mind... but simply couldn't. If it wasn't for the drugs she had been taking up until that point, she'd probably be like the ice creatures.
But Elsa would save her. She knew she would.
and that night, they would be spending a night together, as a perfectly normal couple.
She felt warm at that thought. For once, she could just let it all go and be who she really was. A beautiful young woman, with a beautiful girlfriend.
"Okay, Snowflake, let's think," Snowflake stated. "What do I need to do to prepare for a date with Elsa?" Suddenly a light flicked on in her head. "I need an outfit!" She looked down at her own clothes.
These days she'd taken to wearing a lime green jacket with jeans, very ratty and torn along the legs. She couldn't exactly wear these on a date with Elsa.
But then, she and Elsa didn't have much else, but Snowflake knew someone who might have something for her to wear.
She walked out of her apartment and to the door to the one next door, knocking upon it. "Ariel? Are you in there?"
The door opened, revealing Ariel wearing a blue dressing gown. "Snowflake...? What are you doing here? Is there something wrong?"
"No, not at all..." Snowflake said. "I'm not interrupting anything am I?"
Ariel shook her head. "Not at all, Snowflake. I was just getting breakfast for Melody and Rosalinn." She looked to her left, allowing Snowflake to see the two girls sat at the table, Rosalinn sitting up in her high-chair.
Snowflake beamed, skipping into the room. "Hey girls!"
Melody grinned at Snowflake. "Miss Snowflake! I've missed you."
"Hey little snowfall," Snowflake said, ruffling the younger girl's hair. "I missed you too."
"Did you come to play with us?" Melody wondered. "I was gonna play hide and seek with Rosalinn later."
Snowflake looked at the baby, seeing her giggle and look at her with big blue eyes. She really was an adorable small child.
But Snowflake wasn't here to have fun... well, maybe once she had gotten what she came for. "No, Melody, I'm sorry, I'm not here to play today. I came to speak to your mother about something."
"And what might that be?" Ariel wondered.
Snowflake blushed shyly. "Well... It's just I've got a date with Elsa tonight."
"Oh! You're going on a date with her!" Ariel replied, cheerfully. "That's wonderful. It's nice to see you two doing something healthy as a couple for a change."
"Yeah," Snowflake replied, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. "But the thing is... I don't really have anything to wear, like a dress or anything."
"Not to worry," Ariel admitted. "I think I might have something, just wait a second with Melody while I go and see if I still have it."
Snowflake nodded, sitting on the kitchen shelf and waiting patiently. "I'll be here." She sighed, dreamily thinking of Elsa. My first date with Elsa. It's like a dream come true.
After a few minutes of fumbling around in a closet, Ariel produced what appeared to be a small, green dress for Snowflake to wear. It was slightly torn, but still clean by the standards of the city.
"Well," Ariel stated. "What do you think?"
Snowflake's eyes widened and a smile grew on her face. She walked over to the dress, holding it in her hands. "It's... wow, where did you get this?"
"I wore it on my first date with Eric, when we were younger," Ariel replied. "It might be a little small for you, but I can adjust it."
"No, no, it's fine," Snowflake stated. "It's perfect!"
Melody walked up to Snowflake's leg, hugging it tightly. "Are you picking a wedding dress, Miss Snowflake? Are you and Miss Elsa getting married?"
Snowflake giggled. "No, we aren't getting married, just going on a date together."
"Will you be kissing her?" the little girl asked.
Snowflake chuckled. "Oh, I most certainly will. Elsa is the most beautiful girl I know, and you know the first thing about beautiful girls, Melody?"
"What's that?"
Snowflake booped the little girl's nose. "They deserve lots of kisses."
After her visit to Ariel was over, Snowflake headed back to her apartment, new dress in tow. She was excited, her heart pounding with the fact she and Elsa were finally going to go out together. All her worries were gone now she was entirely focused on the date.
However, as she reached the door to her room, Snowflake found something very peculiar.
At the foot of the door, resting on the floor, was a small envelope, brown and slightly dirty. On its front, Snowflake could see her name written on it with faded ink.
"What's this?" Snowflake thought out loud, picking it up. She knew Elsa and her didn't much in terms of mail, and there were no such things as taxes in Ground Zero, so receiving an envelope like this was very unusual.
Snowflake walked inside her apartment, laying her dress on the bed. She sat down, taking a knife from the kitchen table and cutting open the letter, pulling out a small piece of paper from inside.
She read the paper aloud:
"Dear Snowflake,
You don't know me, but I know you. I have information that I believe may hold the key to helping you recover your memory. If you want it, please meet me at the coordinates I've written on the back of this letter.
Yours,
A Friend."
This struck a distinct chord with Snowflake. She had forgotten mostly about her quest to discover her true identity, but now she felt a new sense of purpose.
But then she realised this could very well be a trap, meant to lure her away from Elsa's protection. She knew better than to trust a random letter.
However, she knew that as long as she was in the city, people would still blame and prejudice her in some way, and Elsa as well. What would be best for her, would be to be away from Elsa, at least till the crisis blew over.
Then came the matter of how she would get to the coordinates in question, but then, she remembered that tonight she would be seeing someone who could do just that. Tonight, she would spend the evening with Elsa, one final time before she left.
Elsa deserved that much. She deserved her last memory of her to be a happy one.
xXx
Later that evening, Snowflake sat in the front room of the apartment she shared with Elsa, wearing the dress she had borrowed from Ariel and the nicest makeup she could get her hands on. She knew she didn't look perfect, but she wanted to look her best.
She gulped, praying that Elsa would be there soon. I hope she's not late.
As if on cue, Elsa walked through the door, a bright smile on her face. "Snowflake, I'm-" She gazed at Snowflake's appearance, utterly stunned. "Wowzers." Her jaw dropped.
Snowflake blushed softly, smiling at Elsa. "Hey, Elsa."
"Hey yourself," Elsa remarked, walking over to Snowflake. "Where on earth did you get this dress? It's beautiful."
"Ariel lent to me," Snowflake stated, standing up and turning around for her girlfriend to see her in full. "Do you think I look good?"
"You look great!" Elsa answered. "I'm kinda ashamed I didn't ask Eric if I could borrow a shirt or something." She held out her arm to Snowflake. "So... shall we get going?"
Snowflake smiled, taking Elsa's arm. "Lead away, my love."
Elsa walked Snowflake out of the apartment, helping her onto her motorcycle. Elsa then started up the bike and rode off down the street with Snowflake clinging to her back.
As they drove to the Lone Wanderer, Snowflake sighed. Part of her wished she could tell Elsa about her leaving, but knew that Elsa wanted them both to be happy that night.
The stars were beautiful that night, the moon finally appearing through the clouds. Snowflake wondered if maybe later, she and Elsa could cuddle beneath them, although that would be doubtful, since there was hardly a good spot to do that.
Eventually, they arrived at the bar in question, seeing it was open and the sounds of jazz coming from the inside.
"So... this is where Kristoff hangs out these days," Snowflake remarked. "It's rather cosy... much better than an inn."
Elsa smiled and held her hand. She looked deep into Snowflake's eyes, before pulling her close into a passionate, loving kiss.
Snowflake moaned softly, kissing Elsa back, but quickly pulled away, giggling slightly. "Hey, are you trying to smudge my makeup?"
"I couldn't resist, babe," Elsa replied. "You're just a beautiful princess."
"And you're my queen," Snowflake cooed, as they walked into the bar, hand in hand.
The inside of the bar was as busy as ever, with various patrons enjoying their drinks and food and the resident waitress (and Kristoff's new girlfriend), Megara, busy with her was the sound of jazz coming from an old jukebox in the room, which a few patrons were dancing too.
"Oh, hey girls," Kristoff said as they entered. "What are you all fancied up for?"
Elsa smiled, leading Snowflake over to the bar. "Kristoff, I'm sure you know my girlfriend, Snowflake."
Kristoff then chuckled. "Oh, you finally got together did you? Well, congrats to you both... I guess this is your first date huh?"
"Pretty much," Snowflake added.
"Well... as a special treat, everything is on the house... just err don't let my boss know, okay?"
Elsa laughed, sitting down at the bar with Snowflake. "We won't big guy. I'll be too busy trying to keep my eyes on this little cutie all evening."
Snowflake's face went red. She had never expected Elsa to be this flirtatious on a date. She assumed falling in love had brought out the best in the blonde, which made her regret her decision to leave even more.
Kristoff looked at the two of them. "So... what will you girls be having?"
"Scotch on the rocks," Elsa replied.
"And I'll have...I don't know, just something fruity," Snowflake added with a shrug.
"Okay, Scotch for Elsa... and a fruit cocktail for the lady," Kristoff agreed. "Coming right up!"
After Kristoff had gotten and poured their drinks, Snowflake and Elsa sat together, feeling at peace for once. This place didn't seem like a ratty old bar in a city made of scrap in a dystopian landscape. For once, Snowflake and Elsa's lives seemed normal.
If only things could stay that way.
As Kristoff went to tend to another customer, Elsa looked over at Snowflake, grinning at her for what seemed like the first time in forever. "You seem a little down still, Snowflake."
Snowflake shook her head. "I'm fine, Elsa, really," Snowflake responded. "So... how were things with the Militia today?"
"Still doing patrols over the quarantine zone," Elsa said. "Hans has been keeping up that he's working on that cure... but part of me is still having doubts."
"Why?"
"Well... let's just say that Hans sounds like a guy who does a lot of covering his own ass," Elsa remarked. "But enough about that. Are you happy here with me?"
Snowflake nodded. "Very happy. I couldn't have picked a better girlfriend."
Elsa took a sip of her drink, before kissing Snowflake's lips. "You're incredible, you know that? You change my whole world in just over two months, like a wild miracle."
Snowflake giggled. "I have that effect on people."
"You certainly do," Elsa stated, holding Snowflake's hand.
Just then, Elsa felt a movement within her bowels, indicating she needed the restroom. "Snowflake... will you excuse me a moment. I gotta powder my nose."
"Sure, I'll wait," Snowflake said, as Elsa took her leave.
Kristoff suddenly arrived at the bar, noticing Elsa had gone. "Elsa's not finishing her drink?"
"No, she just needs the ladies room," Snowflake replied. She then realised the opportunity she'd been given. With Elsa gone, now was her chance to get Kristoff in on her plan.
She then cleared her throat. "Kristoff?"
"Yes?" He looked over at her, wide-eyed. "What's up?"
"I've got a... situation," She began. "And I think you can help me."
Kristoff gave her a confused look. "What sort of situation? and what does it have to do with me?"
"Well... I got a letter in the mail this morning," Snowflake informed him. "It's from someone who claims to know about my past and who I really am. The thing is... they want to meet at some coordinates that are probably outside of the city."
"Why haven't you told Elsa this?" Kristoff inquired.
"Because I don't want Elsa to worry about me," Snowflake explained. "She's got enough on her plate as it is."
"But Feisty-pants," Kristoff pointed out. "If this is important and you wanna go running off on your own-"
"I know the risks," Snowflake said, cutting him off. "But I know that this is what I want. I don't want to be known as the one who spread the plague that created the ice zombies. I want to be known as who I really am, who I was before all of this."
Kristoff sighed. "And you want me to take you there, right?"
"You were a good navigator on the way here," Snowflake stated. "We could just get the tank out from wherever it got impounded and head there ourselves in the morning."
The blonde man looked at her dead in the eyes. "Are you sure you want to do this? We'd be basically breaking the law and I could lose my job."
"I know, but I know that our friendship is more important than any of that," Snowflake said. "Please, Kristoff, do it for me."
Kristoff rolled his eyes. "Fine, fine, you got me. I'm in, but I'm not saying a word to Elsa."
"Don't," Snowflake reminded him. "I'll come and meet you once I'm ready."
At that moment, Elsa walked out of the bathroom. "Yeesh, it was nasty in there," she remarked. "Good thing I don't have a thing about dirt."
"Yeah," Kristoff stated, noticing Elsa walk towards the bar. "The boss has been thinking of hiring a new janitor lately... the old one got caught up in that outbreak mess."
Snowflake looked down, remembering why she was leaving in the first place. She sighed, looking at her drink.
Elsa noticed this, walking to Snowflake's side. She tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, there's a great song playing right now. Wanna get up a dance with me?"
Snowflake shot Elsa an amused look and then chuckled. "You? Dance?"
"Yeah, why not?" Elsa replied, smiling at her. "We're on a date aren't we?"
Snowflake sighed, standing up and talking Elsa's hand. "Okay, but if you step on my toe once, you're walking home."
Elsa laughed, before leading Snowflake towards the dancefloor. She gently held her hand over Snowflake's waist, embracing her as they began to waltz together to the music.
Snowflake let herself go, her feelings of regret being buried underneath layers of love. She sighed, resting her head on Elsa's shoulder as they danced.
Elsa smiled, feeling her younger girlfriend hug her tightly. She could feel her crying soft tears into her arms, her body shaking as she sobbed.
"Hey, hey, what's the matter?" Elsa asked, pulling the crying Snowflake out from her chest.
"I just..." Snowflake blurted. "I really love you, Elsa. Please know that I love you more than anything else."
Elsa felt a little confused, but smiled, blushing softly. " I love you too, Snowflake."
"Do you mean it? As in really, really mean it?"
"Of course I do," Elsa responded. "I mean it, Snowflake. I love you too."
Snowflake then rested her head back on Elsa's shoulder, the tears drying from her eyes. "Thank you..." She then closed her eyes and let herself relax into their dance once more.
xXx
After their date was over, Elsa and Snowflake hurried back to their apartment, elated and happy in each other's company. Elsa couldn't keep her eyes off Snowflake, this evening having been the most magical of her entire life. When she and Snowflake reached the door to their apartment, she quickly grabbed the younger girl from behind and pinned her against the wall.
Snowflake gasped, softly moaning, before she felt Elsa's lips press on her own. She let Elsa's tongue inside almost immediately, being overwhelmed by Elsa's love.
Elsa reached for the door, letting herself and Snowflake inside.
The white-haired girl pushed Elsa back, blush on her bluish cheeks. "You're being full of it, tonight," she remarked with a small laugh.
"I'm so in love with you," Elsa said, holding Snowflake close to her and kissing her deeply and passionately, holding her in loving arms.
Snowflake moaned again, letting Elsa take control as she led them both towards the bed. She was feeling a small, warm feeling inside of her, a sensation she began to enjoy.
Elsa looked deep into Snowflake's eyes, gazing at her with love as her lips remained on Snowflake's.
Snowflake's eyes were still closed, the younger woman now feeling herself be taken to heaven from Elsa's beautiful, tender kiss.
Suddenly, Elsa broke their kiss, saliva dripping between them. She blushed, growing very shy. "Snowflake... would you like to... Um... make love?"
Snowflake's face went bright red. She had never done such a passionate thing before, but for Elsa, for their love, she would gladly give it a go. "Sure," she agreed. "Why not?"
Elsa reached her arms behind Snowflake's back, gently removing the straps from her shoulders and sliding off her dress. She knew that if she ruined this dress, Ariel would likely kill them both.
Now, she was staring at Snowflake in her underwear. Petite and adorable. She was sweet and chubby in some places, Elsa realising that was what made her so good to cuddle in bed.
Elsa disrobed herself, her own beautiful form now on display for Snowflake. Her breasts were soft and tender, good for her lover to squish and hold on to during their time. Her body was curvacious, her hips, waist and rump all perfectly sculpted into her flesh.
Snowflake's face was bright red. She hadn't realised Elsa was this beautiful in the nude.
Elsa then lay on the bed, with Snowflake on top of her. Their eyes met for only a second, before lips came together in a passionate kiss, Elsa placing a hand on Snowflake's blue rump.
"Mmmmm!" the younger girl moaned in surprised, turned on by Elsa's touch.
Elsa felt Snowflake's tongue enter her mouth and Snowflake's hand on her breast, gently, tenderly cupping and squishing it. She could feel Snowflake's palm caress the flesh of her body, holding it firmly, inferring she did not want to let go.
Snowflake then pulled out of the kiss, looking down upon Elsa's beauteous form. She got down again, her heart reminded of how angelic Elsa was, kissing the soft flesh on Elsa's neck.
Elsa whined, whimpering as Snowflake's lips were touching and suckling on her skin, feeling Snowflake give her a gentle love bite.
As Elsa moaned, Snowflake pulled away, concerned. "Am I going too hard?"
Elsa shook her head. "No... it's fine, keep going... I like it when girls are a bit rough with me."
Snowflake nodded, feeling relieved. She then got down, kissing Elsa's breasts and finding herself between her lover's cleavage.
Elsa blushed, stroking Snowflake's head between her beautiful breasts. She treasured her breasts and chest size very much and seeing Snowflake between it, taking such good care of her... she was in love with her.
Snowflake slid down Elsa's frame, kissing across her stomach before she eventually found Elsa's sweet, open folds. wet for the taking.
"Do I... kiss this?" Snowflake inquired, needing a reminder of how sex worked.
Elsa nodded, smiling at her. "Yes... that's my sensitive part. It's the part I want you to touch, my little blue angel."
The white-haired girl gulped, before placing her head between Elsa's legs. She felt her cold lips touch Elsa's labia, kissing them softly and firmly. She sighed, the taste of Elsa's moist folds overtaking her.
Elsa sighed, arching herself upward as Snowflake began to lick Elsa out, her tongue deep into her lover.
Snowflake's lips felt like heaven to Elsa, so cold and shivering, they sent waves of pleasure across her nerves. She bit her lip, almost wincing from the euphoria.
Snowflake continued to kiss Elsa's sweet, tender pussy, her lips and tongue now firmly within Elsa. She looked up, seeing her lover's beautiful face, in pleasure from her touches.
She felt a sense of pride, knowing that even if this was their final night together, she was making it memorable for her. She reached between her own legs, touching her own folds.
Her fingers danced within her, helping to find a spot that Snowflake knew was there. She gasped once she struck gold, her eyes glowing softly when she took a moment to breathe.
Elsa looked down at her lover, seeing her finger herself as she licked her. She could tell Snowflake was loving this. They would have to do this more often.
Snowflake's lips returned to Elsa's folds, slathering them in saliva as her tongue entered Elsa again, rubbing against her clit.
Husky breaths came from Elsa, her mouth wide from Snowflake's pleasure. She breathed cool, icy breaths, her whole body quivering with lust.
Snowflake looked up, seeing her beautiful Elsa was near. She could feel herself growing near as well. She dipped her tongue deep into Elsa, pressing it against her walls.
"S-Snowflake..." Elsa sighed, her lips trembling from the cold pleasure she was receiving from Snowflake. "Please don't stop... this is so close."
Snowflake nodded as she licked, knowing she didn't want to stop. Elsa's folds tasted so good, sex like this was so, damn, good.
Elsa gasped, biting her lip as Snowflake pleasured her, tongue deep into her form. She was almost in heaven, her body was ready.
The wave of her orgasm was building, nearing the top of her great dam. She bit her lip, ready for its wonderful embrace to finally be here to take her to paradise.
Snowflake's tongue dipped through Elsa's frame one last time, her lips pressed firmly at her folds. Tonight, she would make Elsa hers forever.
Finally, Elsa screamed in ecstasy, her arm covering her mouth as she released sweet, sticky juices from within. "Snowflakeeeeee..." She whined, feeling herself going limp.
Snowflake huskily breathed too, cumming alongside her girlfriend. Once she was broken from her lustful trance, she crawled up to Elsa's side, snuggling her under the covers.
Elsa smiled, looking over at Snowflake, giggling at her. "You were good, Snowflake... I think that's the best fuck I've ever had in my whole life." She wrapped her arms around Snowflake, cuddling her.
Snowflake cuddled back, feeling regret that she would soon go. "Elsa... I love you, no matter what."
"I love you too," Elsa replied, blissfully unaware. She then cupped Snowflake's cheeks, giving her one, final, goodnight kiss before she fell asleep next to her.
Seeing Elsa drift off made Snowflake hesitate. Could she really do this to Elsa? Right now? No, Elsa needed to be here and she had to go, for both their sakes. She gave Elsa a final kiss on the forehead, smiling at her. "Goodbye, my beautiful love."
xXx
The next morning, Elsa awoke with a soft pain in her head. Her hangover from the night before had set in and it was in full force. She sighed, reaching for Snowflake. "Snowflake... could you get up? I need a cold drink." Her eyes shot open, her headache going away completely.
She stood up, staring at the empty bed. "Snowflake!"
Snowflake was nowhere to be found in the apartment. She was gone. Vanished without a trace.
"Snowflake? Snowflake?" Elsa desperately called out, to no avail.
When the panic had subsided, she looked down at her bedside table, seeing a small note scribbled out for her in barely legible handwriting.
"Dearest Elsa.
If you are reading this, I've left the city for a while. I received word from someone who may be able to figure out who I really am. Please don't try to follow me. The city needs you. Kristoff is with me, so I will be fine. I love you so much, Elsa. Hopefully, I'll return soon.
Your true love, Snowflake."
Elsa felt her heart sink, reading those words. She felt alone, for the first time in months, she was alone.
She sat on the bed, beginning to sob wet, mushy tears. "Snowflake..."
xXx
Author's note: Well... that happened. "Hides" please don't hurt me, I promise nothing bad will happen! But just be prepared for very angsty times ahead... See you soon.
