Hi guys! So, after lots of thinking, I decided to maybe continue this. It'll probably be a bunch of one-shots and moments between Jack Frost and Elsa because I'm actually working on another side story that's multi-chaptered :) I'll let you know when I actually upload that one onto Fanfiction. I'm also working on the next chapter to this story too so expect another update soon, thanks! ^_^
I also want to thank WritersElementalfor the idea to this chapter! :)
Thank you all so much for your support, following, favoriting, reviewing, and, most important, for reading. I very much appreciate it, thank you! Thanks for reading! ^_^
Anyways, hope you like it, please let me know what you think of it by commenting/reviewing, I'd really appreciate it, thanks! :D
I OWN NOTHING; I DO NOT OWN RISE OF THE GUARDIANS OR/AND FROZEN.
Elsa stands at the edge of the mountain, staring above her at the beautiful night sky. She sighs as she hugs her arms tightly around her body as her thoughts wander.
There has been one thought that keeps coming back since her and Jack Frost began to be more than friends. He's been staying at her ice castle with her for a few weeks now, keeping her company and enjoying their time together.
They play around with one another, throwing snowballs, making snow-angels, building a bunch of snowman, ice-skating, snowboarding; everything. They spend every moment together and neither of them feels alone anymore.
The thought that's been haunting her only began about a week ago when Jack told her how he's immoral, which she knew, and he told her how he's been stuck as a seventeen year old boy for three-hundred years now.
It took her a few days to really let the information sink into her head that he will never age. He's immortal and he will live for eternally as a Guardian while she continues to slowly age.
She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath; she thought by coming out here alone to stare up at the stars it will calm herself down and stop thinking about this, but clearly, it's not working.
He'll be gone one day.
Her mind keeps telling her that. When she begins to grow old, he'll eventually leave her and continue on with his life. Even before she grows old he'll probably leave her, considering he has a job to do; a responsibility.
Jack Frost is a Guardian who has to travel around the world, making children happy and creating snow during the wintertime. He doesn't have time for a relationship, especially a relationship that would never work out anyways.
She runs her hand through her soft hair and sighs as snow falls gently around and on top of her. She wipes the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand and looks down at the snow-covered ground.
It's only a matter of time before he leaves her behind.
Sighing, Elsa clenches her hands into tight fists; she feels angry. Not at him, of course. She's just mad at the world. She has never felt so alone before; once her parents died, she had no one, considering she never formed a real relationship with Anna after almost killing her.
Elsa bites her lip and slams her foot on the ground, creating ice shards to shoot out of the ground. She gasps and takes a step back, shaking her head.
Once Jack leaves her, she'll really be all alone again. She can't go back to Arendelle, how could she? Everyone there thinks of her as a monster who turned summer into winter. She can't control her emotions and she can't control the power that unleashes from her body.
Covering her face with her hands, Elsa lets a few tears roll down her cheeks before she jumps when a gentle hand touches her shoulder. She spins around and her eyes immediately lock with Jack's piecing blue ones.
Before she can say a word, Jack pulls her into his arms, holding her tightly against him. She can't help herself and she finds herself sobbing into his shoulder, holding onto him as if she'll die if she doesn't.
He doesn't say a word as he holds her there, keeping his arms securely around her waist, and wincing every time he hears a loud sob escape her lips. He can feel her body tremble with every sob and it nearly breaks his heart.
Jack isn't sure how long they've been like that, but eventually, Elsa falls to her knees, sitting in the snow, and staring at her lap. Jack kneels down beside her and places his hand on hers, offering a small smile, "Talk to me."
Although Jack is known to be a prankster and loves to play games, he can be very caring and very serious when needed to be. He lets her take her time as she sits there in silence, trying to calm herself down before she ends up creating a blizzard; a blizzard this freezing mountain cannot afford to have.
"I'm sorry." She finally whispers, which confuses Jack. Before he could question her, she continues, "I hate it how you saw me like this. I… I'm still working on how to control my emotions and all."
He shakes his head, "Elsa, don't. You're upset about something that's obviously important to you. What's going on? You know you can always talk to me, right?"
Elsa glances up at him; her ice blue eyes locking with his and it breaks her heart as she stares at the face he will have the rest of his life. He'll never age, never grow old, never change.
"Elsa, please… what's going on with you? You said you'd be back shortly and you were just going to clear your head about some things, but you never returned. You shouldn't be out here alone in the freezing cold. What's going on in that head of yours?" Jack asks as he tilts his head slightly to the side, staring at her beautiful face despite the tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Jack, don't you see it?" Elsa finds herself asking him with her eyebrows furrowed together. "Don't you understand?" Her voice raises a bit, but she quickly takes a deep breath and settles down. "Why are you even still here? How can you even still be here while we both know what's to come."
Jack, obviously still confused, rubs the back of his neck and raises a questioning eyebrow, "Uh, Elsa, can you explain a bit further? Where else would I be?"
She lets out a frustrated huff as she stands up, walking away from him, "You should be back to the North Pole, where you belong!"
He narrows his eyes at her and stands up as well, following her, "Uh, excuse me?"
Elsa spins around and points her finger at him, narrowing her own eyes at him, "Come on, Jack Frost, don't you see it? You're a Guardian and what am I? A regular person. You belong where the other Guardians are, taking care of your responsibilities. You don't have time for someone like me who will only grow old while you're immortal!"
Now everything makes sense and he understands what she's so upset about. He takes a step closer to her and shakes his head, "Elsa, I get it. You're worried that because I'm stuck… well, like this, and I'm immortal, I wouldn't want to be with you, someone who will continuously grow old."
She nods her head, looking away from him, as another tear slides down her cheek, "Yeah."
Jack shakes his head, running his hand through his snow-white hair, "Elsa, that's not true. Do you even get how similar we are to one another? We have so many things in common and you make me feel not so alone anymore. You make me feel not so different and by myself. I was literally lost without you and now that I've found you… I don't want to lose you. I get you're scared that one day you'll be much older than me while I'm stuck at this age forever, but that won't change how I feel about you."
"Listen, I'm honestly not good at this stuff. I never really loved someone before, but you're someone different… special. I enjoy spending time with you and I want you to know that I'd never leave you, despite your age. I have Guardian responsibilities, but I can take care of them and still be here with you. Yeah, I'd probably miss a few days with you while traveling the world quickly, but it'd only be for a few days I'm gone or you could even come with me!" Jack says with a crooked grin. "You're never going to feel alone anymore. You're always going to have me in your life, is that understood?"
"One day you may get sick of me and want to move on with your life, Jack. Then what? What happens to me? I'm left alone and heartbroken?" Elsa asks in a whisper, scared of the answer.
Jack takes another step towards her and his fingers lace with her own, connecting their hands together, "One step at a time, okay? But Elsa, there is no way I'd ever get sick of you. You make me feel so free and I can be my true self around you." Jack presses his forehead against hers and smiles down at her, "Let it go. Let all of your worries go and just focus on us. Right now. In the present. Nothing else. Got that?"
"I just… I just don't want to lose you." Elsa whispers against his lips; their faces only inches apart. She bites down on her lip and closes her eyes as another tear escapes her eye.
Jack moves his hand and wipes away the tear with his thumb as he places a gentle kiss on her lips, "You'll never lose me. Guardian promise, got that? May sound kinda lame, but Elsa, you're my Snow Queen. You're my best friend. You're the girl I, well… I-"
"I love you too." She says with a small giggle as she plants another kiss on his lips. "And Jack?"
He raises an eyebrow and she smiles, "Thank you." She wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him tightly. He closes his eyes as they share a tight embrace as he whispers in her ear, "Don't thank me. Although I do have the rest of our lives to say this, Elsa, I… I do love you."
She smiles widely and pulls away from him, grinning, "Hey, what do you say we do something fun?"
"Got somethin' in mind?" He asks with a childish grin as he grabs her hand in his and begins walking through the snow.
Elsa nods her head and kisses his cheek, "Ice-skating?"
"I'd love to! Sounds great, let's go!" Jack Frost starts running to the pond covered in thick layers of ice that the two of them found earlier in the day.
The two of them may not know what the future holds for them, but they know right now, they can't think of a time they've been happier than with each other and a time where they didn't feel so alone.
