Elsanna (the real story post frozen 2)

Chapter 12: Is it all Too Good To Be True?

Elsa POV
When I woke up the next morning, Anna was still sound asleep. Her hands were around my waist and her face nuzzled into my neck. I don't think we could be any closer to each other if we wanted to.
My mind began to race. What were we doing? In Arendelle, one of the highest values that we have instilled within our people these last hundred years is to have a family. When our parents died, I had no one. I kept her shut out as long as I could. Now, here I am taking away her only other opportunity to get married and have an heir. What am I doing? This is not okay. Anna deserves more.
I slowly rose from the bed. I walked over to my desk and retrieved a blank sheet of royal paper from the top drawer.
My dearest Anna,
I am off to Ahtohallen today. I also need to spend some time with the Nothuldra tribe and make sure that balance is kept within the forest. I should be back before night fall. If I am not, please do not worry. I will be back sometime tomorrow.
I love you.
Love, Elsa
I carefully folded the sheet in half, and I sat it on the pillow where my head had been.
I really did have to check on the forest. I felt the need for space though. I think we both need to clear our heads. My feelings for Anna had always been something I never understood. I knew I loved her. I knew it was more than a sister should. I just didn't think they would ever come to light. She'll be okay without me today. I kissed her gently on the head before leaving the room.

Anna's POV
When I woke up, I was both startled and sad to see that Elsa was not laying next to me still. I knew she woke up before I did because I immediately feel my security lessen when she's away. That's what I love about Elsa. She's so protective and thoughtful.
Am I sad we didn't do anything last night? Um, absolutely!
Kristoff and I have never even been close! I could never bring myself to it. I always thought that I'd want to be married to him first. When you're married, it's an obligation. It wouldn't have been as hard if I knew it was not an option. I've always known where and what my heart longed for. That was Elsa.
Reading her note gave me an idea. I will return the favor. I want to keep it simple though. Elsa doesn't like surprises very much.
I miss her, but I understand that she has obligations to the forest and Ahtohallen as I have obligation to the people of Arendelle. Speaking of which, I have to get some work done today. These past couple of weeks have been amazing finally understanding where Elsa stands and testing the extent of our feelings for each other, but I still have a kingdom to run.
Work first, then set up a simple "surprise" for Elsa.
That's not an insanely long to-do list!
