Chapter IV - Coronation Day (Love is an Open Door)

(3rd Person's POV)

Music began to play and Eren watched from the side as the priest put the crown on Levi's head. Eren noticed Mikasa in the crowd and she waved at him. He discreetly waved back from his spot on the side of the stage.

Once the crown was on Levi's head the priest brought out the orb and scepter. Levi went to grab them as the priest quietly cleared his throat, getting Levi's attention. "Your Majesty, the gloves." He whispered to Levi. Levi hesitantly began to take off his gloves before taking a deep breath, his mind swimming with worries as he went to grab the scepter and orb from the pillow. His hands shook as he picked the items up, one in each hand. As he turned around to face the crowd the priest began chanting his prayer. Everyone stood up. As the priest continued the prayer ice began to slowly work from Levi's hands and onto the scepter and orb. He gasped quietly. He shook slightly with fear that soon the ice would be noticeable as it continued to slowly work its way up the items. As the priest finished his prayer he announced, "King Levi of Arendelle." As the crowd repeated the saying, Levi quickly turned and put the items back on the pillow and put his gloves back on. He turned back around and smiled lightly to the crowd as they cheered for him.

Music played and people danced as the party began. Soon a servant came out and announced to the crowd of people, "King Levi of Arendelle." moving his arm to motion to Levi as he walked to stand in front of the throne next to the servant. The servant turned to the other side as he announced, "Prince Eren of Arendelle." motioning for Eren to walk out as well and stand beside Levi. Eren ran out a few moments late, waving awkwardly to the people in the crowd. He was standing at the bottom of the stage. The servant quickly moved him up the stage next to Levi.

"Oh. Here? Are you sure?" Eren asked hesitantly. "Because I don't think I'm supposed to…" The servant continued to move Eren until he was right next to Levi. "Oh. Okay." He stepped to the side a little to put some space between them as Levi made a small smile towards the crowd. Everyone clapped for them as they stood and faced them. The two stood quietly for a moment before Levi broke the silence.

(Levi's POV)

"Hi." I said quietly.

"'Hi' me? Oh…" Eren began stuttering. "Um… Hi." He finished awkwardly.

"You look nice." I decided to try to start a conversation with him. We haven't really talked much in, well, years.

"Thank you. Ah, as usual you're as tiny as always… N..no.. So what I wanted to say was…" He rambled, stumbling over his words. I chuckled lightly.

"You got big." I say, noticing how he stands a few inches above me. He nods in response, smiling over to me warmly. "So…" I begin again. "This is what a party looks like." There are people all around, most I had never met before. Of course I had spent most of my life away from people, but there were times when I did speak with some for business reasons, and some I had met earlier today.

"It's warmer than I thought." Eren adds in and I nod slightly in agreement. We stare at each other before we notice a woman with blonde shoulder length hair walk up to us. She bows before speaking, "Hello, I am Princess Historia. I belong to one of your kingdom's trade partners." She introduces herself to us. "I was wondering if you would like to have this dance with me, your highness." She offers to me.

"Thank you, but I don't dance." I decline. "But my brother does." Eren nods before he realizes what he had just agreed to. He looks shocked as he is dragged away to the ball floor. I apologize to him quietly as they begin to dance a little ways away from me.

As another couple bows before leaving from speaking with me Eren comes back from his dance. "Was it fun?" I ask.

"Much. This is so nice. I wish it could be like this all the time." He answers, looking over to me and smiling.

"Me, too." I sigh, pausing. "But it can't."

"Why not? I mean-" Eren starts, walking towards me and reaching out.

"-It just can't." I stop him, moving and turning away from him. He backs away again and I sigh.

"Excuse me for a minute." He excuses himself and walks away. I watch him as he weaves through the crowd sadly before I can no longer see him through the people.

(Eren's POV)

I make my way through the crowd, sniffling quietly as I go, when suddenly a man bows to someone and bumps into me. I stumble backwards and start to fall when someone grabs my hand and stops me mid fall.

"Glad I caught you." The person who had caught me had been Mikasa.

"Mikasa." I say, as she sets her drink on a tray being carried by a servant and pulls me up into her and into a dance. We twirl around with the music.

As the night goes on we make conversation. Me telling her my stories and her telling me her's. Mostly me, really.

We walk into the garden and down one of the aisles. She playfully bumps her shoulder into me and I do the same in return, maybe going a little too hard as she stumbles slightly. She looks over to me before noticing something. "What's this?" She questions, pointing to the streak of white in my hair.

"Uh, I was born with it." I reply, touching my hair subconsciously at the mention of it. "Although I dreamt I was kissed by a troll." I add in.

"I like it." She replies, smiling to me, and I smile back.

We sit on the balcony outside as I finish telling her another of my stories.

"Okay, wait, wait. So, you have how many brothers?" I ask after I had finished my story.

"Twelve older brothers. Three of them pretended I was invisible, literally, for two years." She answers.

"That's horrible." I reply. She laughs lightly before speaking again.

"That's what brothers do."

"Mine too apparently. Levi and I were really close when we were little. But then, one day, he just shut me out, and I never knew why." I respond sadly, looking down at my lap. Mikasa grabs my hand.

"I would never shut you out." She says. I look up at her and smile.

"Okay, can I just say something crazy?" I ask.

"I love crazy." She smiles.

All my life has been a series of doors in my face," I close the doors to the balcony. "And then suddenly I bump into you."

"I was thinking the same thing, because, like…" She gets up from sitting on the ledge of the balcony to turn to me. "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place and maybe it's the party talking or the chocolate fondue." She walks over to me.

(3rd Person's POV) This is going to switch scenes kind of fast. I will try to get it easy to follow but it also helps if you have seen Frozen before or the video above.

"But with you," Eren starts.

"But with you I found my place." Mikasa adds.

"I see your face." Eren continues.

"And it's nothing like I've ever known before," they both begin, jumping onto the ledge again and jumping over to the other balcony next to it. "Love is an open-"

"-Door!" They open the doors to one of the higher balconies and run out. Eren runs to the side of the balcony and around as Mikasa goes the other way. "Love is an open door." Mikasa shows up from behind Eren, making him jump slightly in surprise.

"Love is an open door," The two slide barefoot through one of the palace hallways. "With you." "With you." "With you." "With you." They switch back and forth. "Love is an open door." They continue together. A guard opens one of the doors to the hallway to look in and Eren and Mikasa hide behind the door at the other end of the hall, snickering quietly before Eren pulls them away.

They climb onto one of the roofs of the palace and sit there looking at the sky as a shooting star passes by.

"I mean, it's crazy-," Mikasa starts.

"-What?" Eren asks.

"-We finish each other's"

"-Sandwiches." Eren finishes, hopping off the roof.

"That's what I was gonna say!" Mikasa exclaims before following him.

"I've never met someone" Eren begins as they walk across the ledge of the bridge.

"Who thinks so much like me." They say together. "Jinx! Jinx again!" They yell, winding their pinkies together quickly. "Our mental synchronization can have but one explanation."

"-You" Mikasa starts, grabbing Eren's hands.

"-And I" Eren adds.

"-Were just meant to be." They add together. "Say goodbye to the pain of the past. We don't have to feel it anymore. Love is an open door."

"Love is an open door!" The two climb up the rocks near a small waterfall. "Life can be so much more,"

"-With you." "-With you." "-With you." "-With you." The two switch.

"Love is an open door." They combine their hands around the moon shining in the sky to make a heart.

(Eren's POV)

"Can I say something crazy?" Mikasa asks me suddenly. I look over to her curiously. "Will you marry me?" She takes my hand and kneels down on one knee. I gasp.

"Can I say something even crazier? Yes!" I answer excitedly. I had always thought if I ended up with a girl I would be the one to purpose but I guess it can work either way. I'm not going to complain.

*Bangs head on desk* I'm so sorry I have been so slow with updates on everything, I have been having a terrible inspiration problem with everything I try. Updates will probably be even slower now, because, combined with my inspiration leakage (I feel like that's a really weird way to explain it lol), I have school. I'm working on things when I can but it's a slow process at the moment. I also want to apologize about this story sounding so much like the original Frozen at the moment. I'm working on branching it off still.
