"No, no, please no..."

A few silent cries awake me from my deep slumber, my eyes fluttering open as I turn around and see Elsa gripping the sheets in both of her hands tightly and her legs kicking in the air. As my vision slowly adapts to the dark, the only light coming from the Moon through the window, I see fresh tears falling down the Queen's cheeks.

The sight breaks my heart in half, for I know how terrible her nightmares can be and how much they can scare her. I immediately take the covers off of me in order to do something to help my sleeping girlfriend.

Some people say you shouldn't wake up a person when they have a nightmare, but that's definitely not the case for Elsa. The sooner she's awaken from her nightmare, the better, because if it lasts for too long, it makes her upset to the point she can't fall asleep again, no matter how much she wants to.

I kneel above her with my legs at her sides so she doesn't accidentally kick me. My hands reach out for her own that are clenched into fists while holding onto the sheets. I caress her knuckles and lean down to kiss away her tears.

"Shhh, babygirl, it's ok, I'm here. Nothing bad will happen, don't be scared." I coo trying to calm her down and succeeding to some extent. I feel her body relaxing a little and her hands letting go of the sheets giving me the chance to take them in mine.

"Y/N..." She whines before letting out a silent sob, more tears falling from her still closed eyes.

"I'm here, darling, I'm here." I move a few strands of her hair off of her face and cup her cheek with my hand. "Wake up, Elsa, please."

A couple of moments later, her eyes slowly open, the icy blue orbs staring at me with dozens of different emotions before she envelops me in a bone crushing hug, making me fall on top of her.

"Thank Goodness, you're alright." She sighs nuzzling her nose against my neck.

"I am, but you aren't." I say before kissing her forehead, a sweet smile adorning her face afterwards.

"I'm better now, don't worry. You're here and it's all that matters."

"What did you dream about now? Of course I'm here, I'll always be here."

"You promise?"

"I promise." I say before Elsa turns us around so that she's laying on my chest. "You have to stop stressing that pretty head of yours, you know? Those nightmares have become quite frequent recently and I know there's a reason for that."

"I have duties that I have to do, Y/N. It is stressful to rule, that's inevitable."

"I know that but I also know there is something more going on." I sigh and pull is both up in a sitting position so I can look her in the eyes. "Just talk to me, please. I want to help you. Well, you don't have to tell me right now, but you should know that I'll always be there for you if something's bothering you. I hate seeing you so upset."

"Nothing particularly happened, actually. It's just... ughhh." She covers her face with her hands and sighs before taking a hold of mine. "I dreamed about losing you because I am afraid of losing you."

I open my mouth to tell her how ridiculous that is, for only death could make me leave her, but she interrupts me immediately. "Please let me finish. I'll explain." I nod and squeeze her hands gently urging her to continue.

"I- I feel like I'm not giving you enough of my time and attention because of my duties. Yes, I know you're extremely tolerant and understanding about that and you know how much I love you, however... I can't help but think that you might get tired of living like this. You deserve a normal life and you deserve someone who would give their all to you, who would spoil you, go places with you and just... Make you happy, I guess. Make you happier than I do." Her beautiful blue eyes well up with tears and her bottom lip trembles making me want to hold her in my arms and soothe her with sweet words of love until all of her worries fade away. But before I do that she speaks again. "I wouldn't blame you if you left me at some point though. However, it would hurt. It would hurt very badly." She whispers the last part as if not really wanting me to hear it. Looking up at me, she gasps softly and cups my cheek with her cold yet gentle hands. "God, I made you cry. Please don't cry, I didn't want you to cry."

As she said that, I realised that indeed, I was crying too. But I was too focused on her own feelings and what she was telling me to even notice it. "I will never ever leave you, you get it? Never. I would only leave if death came to me and took me away from you and there's absolutely no other way for that to happen, especially by my will."

The blonde's eyes widen as she puts her hand over her mouth gasping. "Don't talk about you dying, Y/N. I'd rather bear with anything else that could happen than that."

"The good thing is that you don't have to worry about either of those options. Because my plan is definitely not to die or leave you any soon." I kiss her forehead and pull her closer to me so she's snuggling against my chest. "I promise you baby, I'll always be here for you."

"Always."
