My Name Chapter 6: I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
.
Hey people! This'll be a little bit of a change of form from the usual 'My Name' chapter. It revolves around Elsa and Andrew's feelings for each other, along with a little bit of foreshadowing for Chapter 11 of Tides of Time. ;) On with the chapter!
.
My king...
When I met you I was lost, alone even. Every day was a mirror image of the others, with aristocrats screaming in my ear, and privileged princes requesting my hand. It was pure torture to live such a way day in and day out.
After 13 years of complete isolation from the rest of world, including my family, one would think that I would relish in the opportunity to be sought after by the handsome men that would squabble at my feet, for a chance to be the one with me in my bed chambers.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
While some would say that I should be grateful for what I possessed as queen of Arendelle, there is one thing that I value over all the spices, gold, and silk on our planet; you. I would give up everything without even a moment's hesitation if it meant saving you.
The night I met you, drunk and belligerent in a rave, with alcohol wafting from your breath, despite every nerve in my brain telling me to turn my back and run as fast as I possibly could... My heart told me differently... Something instantly drew me to you; perhaps it was your eyes, warm and fiery, or maybe the kindness you showed me, despite your intoxication, without much more information than my name and my powers.
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Where every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
You invited me into your home, feeding me, clothing me, even speaking to me like a friend; which was more than I could say for every other young man to cross my path. Every other conversation I had with young men, excluding Kristoff of course, ended in rejection and heartache on not only the prince's heart... But mine as well. I wanted love as desperately as my sister Anna; I knew this, but I was unwilling to just freely hand it out as if it was little more than a few copper pieces to the first handsome noble that decided to glance in my direction, I knew I would be far from happy if I chose that particular path...
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Even after I forced you to give up your drinking habits; you still kept me around, at no more than an arm's length it seemed. You even brought me to see a movie as if we were... As if we were a couple... It was the first date I've ever had...
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
That's when I met her; your ex-girlfriend Bridget. She treated you like absolute garbage, driving you to tears with only a few words. That was the moment I realized that my heart was right... I needed you... I needed to defend you... And that's exactly what I did. I skewered her phone with my powers and ran after you as you walked away. I wouldn't let you leave, I had to at least do one thing...
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
That was when we kissed; it was my first kiss, and I'll never forget it. I felt as if I was in heaven, as I do whenever we kiss, even now. From that point on our relationship blossomed to one that rivaled even Anna and Hans, the only difference? Your love for me was, and is, real.
Despite all that we have been forced to endure in our past... Despite the horror, the heartache, the pain, I now know that when I fall asleep, it will not be in a small pool of my frozen tears, but your warm loving embrace...
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
I love you Andrew, and I cannot wait for the day that I can stand in front of every suitor that attempted to con me and exclaim at the top of my lungs that my name is Elsa Consara and you are my husband and I am your wife.
My king...
.
My queen...
You came into my life when I needed you the most, like an angel sent by God...
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time Yeah yeah yeah
I had just broken up with my now ex-girlfriend, and I was preparing to send a bullet through my temple, but before I could leave the rave I worked at to do the deed, I saw you, standing awkwardly in the middle of the staircase like a child in search of her mother. It was you, I knew I had seen you before, as a child in a painting... However seeing you in person was a completely different experience...
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
When I first invited you into my home, it was honestly with the intent of having you in my bed for the night, and kicking you out the next morning. After all, what's suicide without a little irresponsible fun beforehand? But then you showed me something I'd never experienced before... Love...
While it was true that I had girlfriends before you, none of them ever loved me, not like you do... Kim was the closest, and she abandoned the thought of us having a future together, which only displayed how much love she truly felt for me. Bridget was a similar case; used me as no more than a bragging tool, until she became bored with me, at which point the cheating began. We broke up that night... The same night I met you...
I Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
At first I didn't want to believe I was falling in love again; it just-... It had caused too much heartache for me in the past. But you somehow broke through. All of the walls I had built up as a result of being in World War 3 and seeing the results of the Blood Holocaust, all of the emotional barriers put in place to protect me, all torn down in a matter of just a week by you alone...
Even after that week, our love continues to grow every day... I have become convinced that our hearts are linked...
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't want to miss a thing
Your smile brings me joy, no matter the mood I'm in. Your kiss heals my emotional wounds, like the kiss of an angel. My Snowangel...
I reconciled with my father because of you. I found the courage to stand up to a hundred disproving glares with you in my arms. I know that I can stand tall against the rain by your side.
You are my everything, and I swear to you, I will prove that with one simple question when we arrive in Arendelle, or perhaps your ice palace overlooking the Northern Mountain? Whenever it is, I know that when I ask this question that my heart, my soul, and every shred of my existence will go into that one question...
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
And I don't want to miss a thing
Please, when I kneel at your feet... Don't be Elsa Hjroth any longer... Be Elsa Consara; my wife... My Snowangel... My love...
My queen...

Hope you all enjoyed the chapter and the blatant foreshadowing that was used in this chapter! Until next time my minions!
