Also, feel free to give me ideas of any kind as long as they are appropriate and go along with the story line! Anyway…back on topic… HERE'S THE STORY!
Jack's POV:
She truly did look beautiful today. Her platinum hair escaped from the French braid it was in and brushed against her face, and her cheeks were a rosy pink. I tried not to stare at her, but it was hard. She had the ability to put me under a trance that was hard to recover from. Ever since we first met two years ago, I couldn't resist staring, she was the one.
We skated side by side, but not like our friends. Punz and Eugene were holding hands, Anna and Kristoff were linking arms, and Merida and Hiccup…well…they were skating together but Hiccup being Hiccup kept falling over, and I wasn't much help in the situation, and Elsa and I were just skating side by side. No holding hands, no linked arms. I was tempted to put my arm around her but she probably would freak out. I looked across the rink and Hiccup who had fallen again and he looked back at me and gave me a wink. I squinted my eyes and furrowed a brow not getting the message. Hiccup rolled his eyes and motioned to Elsa beside me then winked again, and Merida decided to join him. I rolled my eyes and sighed. Oh yeah, Merida and Hiccup know about my little crush on Elsa…and so do my other friends. Well, maybe not a little crush, maybe just a serious crush….actually, maybe I kinda like her more than a serious crush…
Face it, Jack, you're in love.
It was true. I am in love with Els, but I can't tell her. I'm immortal! Yet another drawback of mine. I'm worried something would happen if we ever became anything. I'm worried somehow somebody would end up getting hurt, and then where would we be? Another quiet sigh escaped my lips and I looked up from the iced ground.
"Uhm, Jack?" I heard Elsa say. I looked over at her and locked my eyes into her beautiful sapphire ones. "Y-yeah?" I replied. "Are you okay?" she asked with a gorgeous smile, "You got quiet suddenly." I smiled back. "Yeah…yeah I'm okay," I replied, when suddenly, and idea came to my mind. "So…Elsa. How well can you skate?" I asked throwing her a smirk. Elsa giggled, and looked at me. "Well, I am the snow queen after all, so better than you," she smirked back. I laughed and skated in front of her making her stop and place her hands on her hips. "Oh, really? I'd like to see you try to out skate me," I responded. Elsa raised a brow. "Is that a challenge, Frost?" she asked. I laughed but tried to be somewhat tough. "Sure is, Queenie." Elsa blushed the slightest bit and stood beside me. "Okay, I'll race you to the end of the lake, and if I win then you have to bring me chocolate for a week, and if you win, then you can finally take me somewhere to prank someone like you've been begging me to do," she said. I smiled. "Deal," I replied. We got into our starting positions and counted down. "3…2…1…GO!" Elsa exclaimed, and then we were off, skating across the lake. Everyone watched us with widened eyes and laughter, cheering us on. Elsa smiled widely but concentrated on skating. The wind blew back my silvery white hair, and I felt myself picking up speed by the second. I was in the lead by just a hare but Elsa quickly caught up like a pro, and ended up in front of me now. "Just remember who you're up against, Frosty!" she exclaimed looking back at me. I gave her a playful angry look which she returned, then turned around to continue skating. I skated faster and faster by the second soon catching up with her. "YOU GO, FROSTBITE!" Merida shouted in her deep Scottish accent. Geez I hate when she uses that nickname. I rolled my eyes and was soon shoulder to shoulder with Elsa who looked at me with a competitive look on her face. The end of the lake was only a few feet away! The suspense grew as we neared it. My heart beat picking up by the second. My legs were getting tired, but I wasn't giving up now. Unexpectedly, I felt a pull on my right skate. I pulled a little, thinking maybe it just got stuck in some ice or something, but I almost fell when I did. I looked down, only to see Elsa's blue skate stuck in my white one. We gasp at the same time, and tried to get apart, but it was useless, the skates wouldn't budge now. I heard everyone gasp with worry. Since they were both made of ice, ice seemed to connect the two skates. I glanced up at Elsa who also looked at me with wide eyes. The edge of the lake was coming and there was a small hill where the lake ended, which was where we were heading. I tried to pull our skates apart one last time, but it was too late, we had fallen down the hill. Elsa screamed a little and I squeezed my eyes shut, not remembering the hill to be this tall. I felt Elsa grab my arm and tightly squeeze it with fear. I put my arm around her shoulders as we fell and we suddenly landed on our sides with a big THUD! I slowly opened my eyes to see I had landed inches away from Elsa. She too gradually opened her eyes and saw that she still had her hand tightly gripped on my arm. She awkwardly removed it and timidly smiled. Her hair had now completely come out of her loose braid and was free from anything, lying under her back in waves. She looked at me as if to say something about the incident, but instead, we locked eyes once more. Goodness, she was beautiful. Of course I've always known that, but I could see all of her features now being so close. The cute, light, almost unnoticeable freckles across her nose, her stunning snowflake eyes, and her ruby red lips all set me under a trance. Her lips slightly parted and she breathed heavily, still gaining breath from the race. A small piece of platinum hair strayed from the rest and fell over her eye. I instinctively pushed the stray away from her eye and put it behind her ear. Elsa bit her lip and slightly smiled. Without our knowing it, our proximity became closer by the second. Our faces became closer and closer.
Am I about to kiss her?
Does she mind?
Oh gosh, our lips are inches apart.
I left my hand behind her head where it had put the stray hair, and then…
"HEY! ARE YOU GUYS OKAY DOWN THERE?!" I heard Anna shout from the top of the hill. Elsa and I immediately were snapped out of our trance and sat up. "YEAH! WE'RE COMING UP!" I yelled back. Elsa sat still, almost flabbergasted about what had just happened. I looked over at her and offered a hand to help her up which she gladly accepted but didn't make eye contact with me. She waved her hand over her skates and they became her normal shoes and I took my skates off and turned them back into snow. "Alright, so how do we get back up?" Elsa asked a little shakily. She looked at her surroundings, seeing that there was no way to make it back up without trying to climb the hill again, which would take all day. "Well, it looks like flying is the only way," I responded. "F-flying? Is it even safe?" she asked. "Yes, I can promise you that," I chuckled at her. Elsa swiftly walked over to my side and I carried her bridal style back to the top, and sat her carefully back on the snowy ground. "Thank you," she replied walking over to her sister and bidding goodbye. Suddenly, Repunzel skated over to us. "Hey, Els, are you guys still having us over for dinner tonight?" she asked. Elsa looked at Anna a little shocked and raised a brow. "Dinner, huh?" she said. Anna timidly laughed. "Uhm, yeah! You all are invited! We are having chocolate fondue, just sayin'!" she exclaimed. And soon they both left. I wish I could tell Elsa how I felt, but it's just so complicated. Oh if she only knew.
