Elsa woke the next morning to a blur of red hair just inches from her face. She yelled and almost fell of

the other side of the bed before being able to focus on a grinning Anna kneeling on her bed.

"What the hell Anna!" Elsa exclaimed as she settled back into her pillows.

"Anything you wanna tell me sis?" Anna said as her grin grew twice its size.

"Um nooo…"

"Nothing about a certain…crush of yours…" Anna beamed.

"What do you know…?" Elsa asked suspiciously

"Well I just happened to be passing a window on the second floor last night that just happened to look

out on the garden. And well I may have just happened to glance out said window and see something

rather interesting…"

"Oh just get on with it will you!"

"I saw you and Andy lying on the ice together!" Anna gave a small squeal and flopped on to the bed next to her sister.

"Oh that? That was nothing she just fell."

"She's an amazing skater and you think she just happened to fall onto you and land in THAT position?"

To be honest Elsa hadn't really thought about how Andrea had fallen. She had never seen her fall before

when they were skating…

"I never really thought about it." Elsa admitted to the still beaming red head. "Well now that you have your gossip, can you let me get ready for breakfast?"

"Sure Els, I will meet you there. Better hurry up before all the food is gone." Anna yelled as she jogged from the room. Elsa rolled her eyes at her sister's behaviour, you would have though Anna had seen the two girls kissing and not just lying on the ice based on the younger girl's reaction. But if it really wasn't that big a deal then why did Elsa get butterflies in her stomach when she thought about Andrea putting her hand on her hip. And god the way she looked at her, like she was the only thing in the world that mattered in that moment.

Why is this girl so damn charming?

Elsa allowed her thoughts to wonder back to the previous night as she waltzed down to the dining hall for breakfast. Entering the room, she noticed that three chairs where filled instead of the usual one. The visiting royals had decided to join them for a meal today. Elsa's heart fluttered when she saw Andrea but was careful not to stare. They exchanged polite greetings and she took her place at the head of the table, next to a grumpy looking Prince.

Did your beloved not join you last night princey? What a shame.

"So Andy, how are you enjoying Arendelle?" Anna asked as she ate.

"It's wonderful, the weather is so nice compared to the storms we have this time of year in Decipio. Henry and I were actually thinking about extending our trip to be able to see the sights more. Only if that's okay with Queen Elsa of course." Elsa did a mental happy dance at the thought of more time with the girl.

"Well of course, how long were you thinking of staying?" Elsa asked with a smug smile to Prince Henry.

"Until the weather changes I suppose, we would need to be back in Cortane for our annual autumn festival." The prince said with a smile, completely missing the queens hatred for his ever molecule.

"Stay as long as you want. Our home is open for you." Anna chimed in with excitement.

"Yes Princess Andrea's skating is getting much better and I'm sure with more time here she will practically be an expert." Elsa smiled at the girl while her beloved frowned at the moment they shared.

"You are just saying that, even Anna is better than me." Andrea said with a smile towards the younger girl, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Hey!" Anna complained as Elsa and Andrea laughed at her expense.

"Well maybe I could get out on the ice one of these days. You seem to be a good teacher. MY fiancée certainly seems to enjoy your lessons…" Henry said rather bitterly. Andrea shot him a shocked look and then looked at Elsa apologetically.

"Well sure Henry. I would be glad to teach you to skate." Elsa smiled, pretending to have missed his sarcasm.

"Great…" Henry said as he dived back into his breakfast.

"So Elsa, how did you sleep?" Andrea asked to lighten the mood.

"Very well thank you, until I was rudely awoken by my little sister." Elsa smirked.

"Well it's not my fault you slept in. I got bored." Anna huffed and crossed her arms.

"Back home my brother would wake me and my sisters by banging a wooden spoon on a pan and jumping around our room. He laughed so hard at that until four very angry, very sleep deprived girls would attack him." Andrea's story made the group laugh and soon everyone had launched into stories from their childhood. Elsa noted that if Henry was not forcing the girl she cared for to marry him, that Elsa could actually see being friends with the man.

That week turned out to be exceptional in many ways. For when the time came for the royal couple to arrive at the Queens study a few days later to look over the almost finished trade agreement, Elsa saw that Andrea came alone today.

"Where is Prince Henry?" Elsa asked as she held back the smile that dared to cross her features.

"Oh, Kristoff invited him out on an ice harvesting trip for two days so it will be just us today and tomorrow, I hope you don't mind?" Andrea explained as she took her usual seat.

"Not at all Princess." Elsa let her composer slip a bit so that a small smile graced her lips.

"Yes this trip will be good for Henry; he needs to learn how to do this for himself. A little guy time won't kill him."

"I am guessing you suggested this trip then." The queen teased.

"Guilty…" Andrea allowed herself to smile back at the blonde while pushing her hair back behind her ear. They were silent for a moment as the two girls took in the other, admiring the other. "Well, we should probable get started or something."

"Huh what? Oh yes sure." Elsa was shaken from her stare. The morning went smoothly as usual but with the two girls stealing looks at the other. At one point Elsa was looking at a map, going over the routs there boats would take to get to Cortane. A warm hand placed on her shoulder made Elsa jump a little and she glanced back to find Andrea standing behind her, gazing over her shoulder.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, just wanted a closer look. See I really think this Northern route would be best for us." Andrea whispered as she leaned closer to the map. The close contact made Elsa heart start to leap out of her chest and she began to worry that the girl might feel it through her dress. "And see how the southern route would leave Cortane actually losing money on shipping." With Andrea's front pressed against her shoulder blade, Elsa could feel the woman's amazingly warm breath on her neck. A shiver escaped the queen and she froze, wondering if the girl had felt it.

"Are you cold?" Andrea asked as her eyes remained on the map that lay on the desk.

"Uh um, no I'm fine." Elsa stuttered. Two warm hands found her arms and started to rub up and down as if to warm her up. Andrea rested her chin on Elsa's shoulder before responding. "Yes the northern route will work."

"This is getting boring, let's call it quits for the day?" Andrea suggested against her ear.

"Uh huh, ya." Elsa's head lolled to the side and her eyes fluttered closed.

Dear god is she trying to kill me?

A knock on the door startled both girls from there currant pose and Andrea walked back around the desk. An aid poked her head in looking for Elsa to sign some more paper work and Andrea quietly took her leave. Alone once again Elsa aloud herself to go limp in her chair, thinking only about the girl's breath on her neck, and her lips being so near.
