Frozen Beyond [gxg]

Vow

The dangers they were facing going forward would be perilous, and there was no way to know how they would end. But as long as she could go through it with Keahi, she knew whatever challenges they faced, she would be okay.

And at the end of all those challenges, she wanted to be with Keahi, and make those vows to one another. Could they do that? It honestly didn't matter.

Nothing could separate them.

She wasn't sure if Arendelle even had laws on this kind of thing; she had never thought to look as Queen.

Keahi was not only her love but her best friend. In dark times she sought Keahi's touch, sought her voice for comfort.

She shifted nervously, realizing that Keahi was looking at her, mouth slightly agape. She cleared her throat, "Well say something, you're making me nervous."

"You're asking me to marry you?" Keahi asked dumbly.

Elsa scowled, "That is what I asked."

Keahi stilled, then chuckled before erupted into light laughter. "I can't believe you asked me to marry you before I could get to it!"

Elsa frowned, "Whatever role you felt you needed to play in this relationship isn't necessary." She murmured. She remembered back on Olaf mentioning when Keahi would propose.

Jokes on them, because Elsa had always planned on beating Keahi to the punch. Whatever masculine role everyone thought Keahi had to play wasn't needed.

Keahi's hands cupped her face as Keahi leaned in, hovering just above her lips with a scowl there. "You...are always surprising me."

Elsa went to lean in to close the gap, but Keahi pulled back just enough to tease their lips close together without them touching.

She let out a small whine when she realized that Keahi was teasing her. When she did, hunger sparked there as Keahi hungrily kissed her.

It was a minute before they broke back for air, both breathing heavily. Elsa's cheeks were flushed with heat. Keahi's tongue flickered out to taste her lower lip, and Elsa's knees almost buckled.

"Well, the answer would be a definite yes," Keahi breathed out languidly, kissing her jaw. "What are we going to do for rings?"

Elsa put her hands to Keahi's chest and pushed back. If Keahi kept kissing her like that, it would leave no solid thought in her head. "I'm glad you asked. I wanted to make them with you. I've been thinking about it a lot since I set sail from Arendelle."

Elsa held out her hand, palm up between them. Frost flurried in her hand, spinning faster and faster until the flurry became a snowstorm just above her palm. When it did, she clamped her hand shut and when she reopened them, two frosted circles sat.

They were thorny with ice. Just how her ice bridge had been when she created it to her palace all those years ago. She leaned over and blew on the two rings; the frost materializing and leaving two periwinkle colored rings with ribboned snowflake designs. "I want you to embed your magic too."

Keahi shifted back uncomfortably. "I... can't create as you can. All my magic does is burn and destroy."

"That's not true. Your magic is like mine, you just refuse to believe it. It's not like Crows, it's not even like normal fire. It's blue, it's hot and pure, I believe you can do it."

Keahi looked unsure. She reached out to cover Elsa's hands but hesitated, pulling away.

Elsa shook her head and took a step closer, not allowing Keahi to back down. "There is still a lot we don't know about your powers since they were given to you differently than mine. But I want to help you discover them. It's something we can do, together." Elsa murmured, reaching her gingerly to press her upturned hands into Keahi's loose grasp.

She still seemed unsure, but she didn't pull away.

They stood like that for a moment, and Elsa laughed breathlessly. "Don't worry so much. I'll cool you off if you get too hot. Just focus."

It took a minute more before Keahi focused on their joined hands and the fingers enclosed in them. Elsa could feel heat permeate from Keahi, blue sparks licking between their hands, but she felt no burning, only a constant, feathering warmth.

They pulled their hands back, peering at the rings that danced with blue flames as they heated molten gold. A few sparks of flame shot out into the dark, lightly illuminated cavern.

The rings levitated and steam rose from them. Elsa waved a hand to douse it in icy mist. The rings vibrated and hit the ground, sitting in the sand sizzling hot.

Elsa and Keahi exchanged a glance, crouching down to wait until the molten glow of the rings settled. Once they looked cool, Elsa gave them a mist of ice to be sure they were no longer hot before picking them up.

The ring remained a deep gold, interwoven designs of the fire rune and ice rune ran along the ring in crisp design of periwinkle and indigo. At the top, two small crystals clasped together in the shape of a heart connected to the top of the ring, one of Keahi's blue-hued fire and one baby blue like ice.

She settled them in her hand, giving Keahi a dazzling smile. "See? I knew you could do it."

Elsa took Keahi's hand. It was trembling as she slid the ring on Keahi's finger. Keahi lifted her hand to look at it, before trembling hands had trouble putting the ring on Elsa's hand, though she finally managed.

Elsa tilted her head, "Are you okay?" Her own cheeks flushed at the significance of the moment. When she looked at the ring, she felt a swell of emotion rise in her throat and chest.

Keahi wrapped her arms around Elsa, pulling her close and resting their foreheads together.

"I want us to have something to look forward to after all of this. I'm worried, worried about what may come." Elsa whispered, her hand tightened against Keahi's, clutching them close.

Keahi smiled and kissed her forehead. "Are you kidding? I will fight the Queen of Nifelheim herself for this."

"Don't joke it may come to that." Elsa chided, leaning back and poking Keahi's nose.

Keahi just gave a wolfish grin and leaned in to playfully nip at her neck. It pulled a fit of laughter from Elsa.

"Thank you," Elsa pulled back, playing with one of Keahi's colorful threaded braids "for helping be my strength."

Keahi raised a hand to cup Elsa's, the one that was playing with her hair. "Thank you for being the light in my darkness."
