Disney's Frozen: A Royal Wedding (Elsa x Reader)

Unnatural Chill

Elsa doesn't pull away. Instead she leans into your kiss with the fervor of a woman who hasn't seen or heard from her beloved in what feels like a lifetime.

Did you really just axe your way up the castle so you could see her?

You're insane!

Elsa realises, though, that if it wasn't for your 'insanity', Anna would be dead. And so would she.

She's missed you so much. She can't believe you're here.

Wait.

You're here. In the castle. Where Rafe is.

He'll kill you if he finds out!

She doesn't want to stop kissing you. She knows if she does she'll never get to do it again.

Tomorrow she marries Rafe. Tomorrow she sails to Arrogania.

Tears freeze halfway down her cheeks as these thoughts pervade her mind. She has to separate herself from you in case her powers spiral out of control.

"What is it?" you ask, her lips no longer on yours. "Elsa?"

"You have to go," she says, backing away.

"Go? But I just got here."

"Please. I'm only trying to protect you."

You step towards her. "You don't have to protect me. I'm not afraid."

Elsa retreats from the balcony into her bedroom.

You follow.

Please don't shut me out again.

Please don't slam the door.

You don't have to keep your distance anymore.

'Cause for the first time in forever, I finally understand.

For the first time in forever, we can fix this hand in hand.

We can head out this castle together.

You don't have to live in fear.

'Cause for the first time in forever, I will be right here.

Elsa turns to look at you, appreciative of the effort you've gone to in order to reach her. She wishes she could accept your help. But she values your safety more than her own freedom.

She sighs.

Leave me alone.

My king awaits.

Go while you can before it's much too late.

"Yeah, but, Elsa-"

"I know!"

You mean well, but leave me be.

Just let him have his way and marry me!

Determined, you shake your head. Under no circumstances are you allowing that to happen.

Elsa withdraws even further to the other side of the room.

So stay away and you'll be safe from me.

Safe? You're guessing she has no idea about the sorceress Rafe sent after you.

Actually, I'm not.

What do you mean you're not?

I get the feeling you don't know.

What do I not know?

Hesitating, you take a deep breath.

Your fiance has sunk to a new low.

"What?"

"He kind of tried to have me killed." You remove the cloak Anna gave you, revealing your torn clothes and bandaged injuries. "An assassin."

Elsa's face twists into an expression of shock and guilt. "An assassin?"

The temperature in the room begins to drop.

"It's okay," you insist. "We'll find proof. Everyone will know what he's done."

"No, you can't," she says, her tone desperate. "If he's humiliated, I dread to imagine how he'd react. He might attack Arendelle."

You give her a reassuring smile. "Of course he won't. He'd be a fool to. Our allies would stand by us. We'd be fine."

'Cause for the first time in forever.

Elsa is filled with dread by the prospect of using her powers to hurt people. It's the last thing she wants.

Rafe wouldn't hesitate to start a war just to spite her. He wouldn't care if it meant sacrificing the lives of the entire Arroganian army to crush Arendelle.

There would be a bloodbath. And it would all be her fault.

I'm such a fool!

I can't be free!

You don't have to be afraid.

No escape from the beast tormenting me!

We can work this out together.

These scars I can't reverse!

We'll disrupt the plan he's made.

Please, my love, you'll only make it worse!

Don't panic.

There's so much fear!

We'll make it right.

You're not safe here!

We can face this thing together.

No!

We can change this stormy weather.

And everything will be-

I can't!

There's a frantic knock at Elsa's bedroom door.

"Your Majesty!" It's Kai. "Queen Elsa, are you alright?"

Managing to compose herself, Elsa clears her throat. "I'm fine," she responds. "Thank you."

She and you notice how ice has crept up the walls, how the floors are blanketed in snow.

Kai must've felt an unnatural chill and decided to investigate.

"Can I get you anything, ma'am?"

"Tea. Please."

He doesn't sound at all suspicious. "Very well. Tea it is."

Elsa looks at you longingly. "You can't stay here," she says. "If Rafe-"

"Please, don't marry him," you beg. "Come with me. We can figure this out together."

"How? What power do you have to stop this wedding? To stop him?"

You're not sure. You only know one thing. "I'm not leaving without you, Elsa."

Fear is consuming her. Grief and loneliness surround her. If she could run away with you, she would.

But as queen, her duty to protect Arendelle must come first.

"Yes," says a tearful Elsa, summoning her magic, "you are."
