Frozen Destiny: A Jelsa Tale Written in the Stars (One Shot Stories)

Embracing Love's Tempest (Part II)

Jack's POV:

Sleep had evaded me since that magical night with Elsa. Her presence lingered in my mind, her touch imprinted on my skin. Confusion and curiosity consumed my thoughts as I tried to make sense of the emotions that surged within me. I needed space to sort through my feelings, to understand why I was so drawn to her.

Days turned into nights, and still, I refrained from seeking Elsa's company. But every passing moment without her felt like an eternity. I couldn't deny the ache in my chest, the longing to see her again, to unravel the mysteries that bound us together.

Elsa's POV:

Jack's absence weighed heavily on my heart. I couldn't help but steal glances at my window, hoping to catch a glimpse of his familiar figure. But the days slipped by, and there was no sign of him. Doubt began to creep into my mind, whispering that he was intentionally avoiding me.

One night, as I brushed my hair, a gentle breeze swept through the room, carrying a sense of familiarity. My heart leaped into my throat as I made up my mind. With a trembling hand, I opened the window, and there he was, standing before me. The relief flooded through me, and I fought to compose myself, to hide the depth of my emotions.

Jack smiled warmly at me and entered the room. The tension in the air was palpable as I mustered the courage to ask him why he had been gone for so long. His response caught me off guard-he claimed it was due to his guardian duties. I sensed there was more to the story, but I held my tongue, not wanting to push him further.

Jack's POV:
Elsa couldn't hide her curiosity and concern. She asked me about my absence, and I knew I couldn't share the truth just yet. I lied, blaming my absence on guardian duties. We fell into a silence, both feeling the weight of unspoken words hanging in the air.

I could see the stress etched on Elsa's face once more, and an overwhelming urge to comfort her surged through me. I suggested taking her out into the night again, hoping to provide her with a momentary escape from her worries.

"Elsa, how about we go out tonight? Just like before. I can see the weight on your shoulders, and I want to give you a moment of reprieve."

Elsa's POV:
Hesitation swirled within me, my mind a battleground of conflicting emotions. But Jack's persistence and genuine concern wore down my resistance, and I acquiesced. As our hands touched, a warmth spread through me, comforting and electrifying at the same time.

We took flight, soaring through the night sky until we reached a frozen lake. We settled down, and Jack's eyes didn't miss the sadness etched across my face. He probed gently, "Elsa, what's troubling you? What happened?"

The words spilled from my lips, the weight of my secret burden suddenly too heavy to bear alone. "The council, Jack. They are pressuring me to marry for the sake of the kingdom."

Shock washed over Jack's face, his eyes widening in disbelief. He grew increasingly agitated, his voice tinged with anger. "That's not right, Elsa. They can't force you into something you don't want. You deserve to choose your own path."

I stared at him, taken aback by his reaction. It was as if a part of me awakened, realizing the depth of his feelings for me. But fear held me back, the belief that we could never truly be together. I turned away, unable to face the truth that threatened to consume us both.

"There's no other choice, Jack. I have to obey," I murmured, my voice laced with resignation.

Jack groaned in frustration, his eyes filled with determination. "Elsa, there's always a choice. I can't bear the thought of losing you. You mean more to me than anything."

In that moment, his words pierced through my defenses, and I understood the truth. The realization dawned upon me- the reason for my inexplicable feelings, the reason I couldn't bear to be apart from him. I loved him.

But I couldn't allow myself to indulge in this newfound revelation. I turned away, my mind battling with my heart. We were from different worlds, with responsibilities that seemed to tear us apart. I pushed him away, convinced that we had no chance of being together.

Just as I thought he would let me go, Jack gently lifted my chin, forcing me to face him. And then, in a breathtaking moment, he kissed me. It was a mixture of surprise, confusion, and an overwhelming rush of emotions that flooded through me. I couldn't deny the intensity of the connection between us.

POV: Jack

Elsa's lips on mine sent shockwaves through my entire being. It was a moment of utter bliss, a confirmation of the unspoken connection that had formed between us. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close, losing myself in the taste and touch of her.

For a while, we simply stayed there, locked in each other's embrace. The world around us faded away as we surrendered to the overwhelming emotions coursing through our veins. Nothing else mattered in that moment-just the two of us, united in a love that defied the constraints of our world.

As we pulled apart, our gazes met, a shared understanding passing between us. No words were needed. The battle within me had been won, and the truth shone brightly-I loved Elsa, and I was willing to fight for our love, no matter the odds.

Together, we embarked on an uncertain journey, hearts intertwined and spirits entwined. The challenges that lay ahead seemed formidable, but with love as our guiding light, we were determined to overcome them, hand in hand.
