Frozen Beyond [gxg]

Fire and Ice

Elsa looked around Anna's old room. The pink and flowers had her smiling at the old memories that lingered here. "We should have some extra sleeping gowns around here somewhere..." Elsa murmured, opening up a few of the drawers.

When she didn't get a reply, she turned and regarded Keahi on the balcony looking towards the fjord.

Wavering, she started towards Keahi and came to stand beside her. Leaning on the balcony railing, she watched the water glitter under the stream of moonlight.

"The fjord always looks beautiful in the winter." Elsa finally broke the silence.

Keahi let out a weighty breath, taking a deep inhale of the frosty night air. "Your family is nice."

"We've been through a lot, and sadly I was a big problem with all that. But we've come out stronger." She beamed up at the moon. Anna was stronger because of it, but she still didn't like the oppressing loneliness Anna had to suffer because of her.

"Your sister, she loves you. Having a brother is a little different."

"How so?"

"Well, my brother. He doesn't like to show affection. He's more focused on... other things."

"What other things?" She asked curiously, angling her body towards Keahi.

"Ah," Keahi scratched her chin and angled herself to face Elsa, "old issues." She laughed, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. "Now, let's talk about your charades."

She blushed and glanced away. "I've never been very good at acting anything out."

"It's because you think too much." Keahi whispered, smirking over at her.

Elsa puffed up her cheeks full of air but let it out, pursing her lips. She didn't have much to say to that, Keahi was right.

"Just don't overthink right now." Keahi whispered.

"What?"

Keahi's warm hand clasped over her own. The heat shot down her arm and she shivered. She could feel the intensity of green eyes on her.

She knew if she looked up she'd be lost. It terrified her, but also sent a thrill of excitement through her body. Serenely, she tilted her head upwards to gaze into Keahi's eyes.

"You know, these past few weeks..." Keahi bit her lip, heat flushing the other woman's cheeks. She'd never seen Keahi blush before, no matter what blatantly thing was coming out of the woman's mouth. "When I look at you. I feel hope."

She felt herself sick in a sharp intake of air. Like when the elements called her, so did this moment.

For once she didn't overthink and closed the short gap between them. Her hand came to Keahi's cheek, and she pressed their lips together.

Hands immediately enclosed her hips and pulled them together so their body molded into one.

Dizziness swam through her head, the feeling euphoric and she was worried that her loss of breath and aching lungs would cause her to pass out.

Hers knees, embarrassingly, almost buckled beneath her.

When she pulled back, her heart beat sporadically in her chest and her head swam with a dark fog. She couldn't catch her breath.

Ice spread out over the railing and she jerked her hand back.

Reality weighed back in and rationality came back.

What was she doing?

Tears brimmed her eyes, and she ran out of the room. She could hear Keahi calling after her.
