Elsamaren

Part 1

A/N: I couldn't find the Sami'(the real life people that the Northuldra are based off of)s opinions on relationships so I just took a bit of artistic liberty there.
"Good morning Elsa," greeted Honeymaren.
"Good morning," replied Elsa.
Honeymaren continued on with her morning chores. Elsa froze for a moment watching her. Elsa didn't know why she felt the need to do this. All she could think about was Honeymaren's beautiful brown eyes and hair and physique.
'She's so beautiful,' thought Elsa before pushing the thought away.

Elsa was visiting Anna in Arendelle one day when Anna would just not stop talking about Kristoff.
" I mean he's just the sweetest. He listens to everything I say so well. And his beautiful eyes and amazing physique," Anna babbled.
'Sweet personality, listens, good looks,' thought Elsa. 'All of these things are things I think about Honey,'.
Elsa was staying the night in the castle before returning to the Enchanted Forest. She couldn't sleep. She was still thinking about Honeymaren and what Anna had said about Kristoff. She went to the library. She wondered if maybe, just maybe, there would be a book that would give her a sign that she isn't crazy. After a fair amount of looking, she found a poetry book. They were love poems. About two girls. Elsa wasn't crazy. However, Elsa figured that this wasn't a widely talked about thing.

The next morning, Elsa requested to talk to Anna. They settled in the living room.
"What's up sis?" Anna asked.
"So you know how I thought you were the only person I'd ever be  able to truly love?" Elsa asked.
"Yes," Anna said, remembering a conversation they had had right after Anna's near death experience.
" Well I don't think that's true anymore. But I don't think I fall in love with men. I think I've fallen in love with a women," Elsa explained.

Snow had begun to near cover the floor as Elsa was trying to express her emotions. She flicked it away. They sat in an uncomfortable silence for a while before Anna finally replied.

"That's great! I'm really happy for you sis. Who's the lucky girl?".

" I don't think I'm ready to share that yet. This is a lot for me," Elsa said.

"Oh, yeah, no totally. I'm sorry I asked," Anna replied.

"How would you know any better?".

Elsa returned to the forest. That night, Yelena, Honeymaren and Elsa were sitting at a fire.

"I'm going to check on Rider and the reindeer," announced Honeymaren.

Elsa saw her opportunity to figure out a little more without giving things away just yet, seeing as she was still quite new to Northuldra culture.

"So are romantic relationships quite common among your people?" Asked Elsa.

" We value nature first, but we do pursue romantic relationships. Most people here have been in at least a few by now. Well, except Honeymaren. She's always been so strong willed. I guess she never needed a man,".

Elsa just nodded.
The next morning, Elsa decided this was it. She might as well tell Honeymaren  about her feelings. She didn't know how much longer she could take it.

"Honeymaren, do you want to go for a walk?" Asked Elsa.
"I'd love to,".
They walked in silence for a bit before Elsa finally got enough courage.
" I've never fallen in love with a man before. And I finally figured out why. It's because I've fallen in love with a beautiful woman. And I guess I'll just come out and say it's you, Honeymaren. I'm in love with you," Elsa finished before looking away.

"Elsa. Elsa, look at me. Look at me. You've just explained how I've been feeling my whole life. I love you too," Honeymaren said, pulling Elsa into a kiss.

"But what will Yelena think? And your people? Oh and Arendelle?" Elsa asked.

"Elsa, don't worry. You're the fifth spirit. Basically whatever you say goes with the Northuldra. And Arendelle's not a today problem," Honey comforted Elsa.

That night the two women cuddled in the same tent, hoping they would survive what's to come.
