Summer Love (ElsaMaren)

In the Forest

The forest was calm and peaceful as it had been few weeks ever since Elsa's stay. Northuldra people were on their daily routine; catching fishes on the river bank, feeding the reindeers and keeping the camp in order.

It was a beautiful sight for Elsa.

Everything felt the way it should have been a long time ago. A place she really belonged to.

I would never let anything ruin this home. My home.

She was leaning on a tree from a hill over viewing the camp not far below. Reminiscing the events that happened more than a month ago, she could never imagine herself in the situation she is right now. And she could never think of changing her decision of staying with these people. They were kind, talented, sweet, chee--

"Mind some company?" A familiar voice startled Elsa causing her to freeze her hands on the ground at her side.
She turned to see Honeymaren already taking her seat beside her.

"Maren...of course.. Uhh let me just--" Laughing nervously, she pulled her hands off the ground where it froze.
Honeymaren only giggled, giving the blonde a heart attack unaware.

They sat in silence, letting the conversations of the people below fill the air as the Wind Spirit causes the dry leaves to fall from the trees as it passes by. The sound of reindeers galloping around the forest and even the chirping of the birds seems to be on rhythm with everything around them. It always felt so magical.

Even more magical that she was sitting beside Honeymaren. She felt heat rushed to her cheeks at the thought of them being alone together.

And there it goes. The warmth she always had on her chest and the unexplainable flipping of her stomach whenever this woman was around. Then snow started falling on their spot under the tree and the temperature went down. Even after learning full well of her capacity with Ice magic, she just couldn't control it whenever she felt these weird stuffs she's been with the day she and Honeymaren met.

"Is everything okay?" Maren asked.

"Y-yes. Everything's...perfect."

The brunette woman looked at her, "It is."

She felt herself blushed as she glanced at Honeymaren.

"Are the reindeers uhh okay?" Elsa almost whispered.

"Yep, Ryder was having trouble leading them so I helped him."

Elsa chuckled as she remembered a moment when Ryder was dragged around the forest by a group a reindeers. "He sure does love them."

"He treats them like siblings. It's kinda weird but sometimes I think he wishes I am one."

This causes both of them to break into laughs. "What if he does?"

"Hmm... I think I better start running around with my four limbs."

Elsa shoved Honeymaren with her shoulder laughing. Not noticing the snow starting to stop. They were both gazing down the camp now.

She had never felt this before. The woman was elated and couldn't think of anything compared to this.

Then when she turned to Honeymaren who also turned at the same time with her, their nose touched and their eyes locked with each other's.

Elsa was engulfed at how mesmerizing the brunette's eyes were. They were the lightest shade of brown she had ever seen and with the strike of sunlight, it glistened like honey. She swear the woman in front of her could hear her heart beat so fast right now.

Upon realizing that they were staring too long at each other in silence, Elsa draw back and forced her eyes to gaze back at the camp below. Honeymaren looked away embarrassed. Elsa noticed so she spoke up, "Is it just me or it feels cold up here?"
