Chapter 31: Arrival (EP. 01)

She was a blur of soft slightly freckled cheeks; smooth platinum blond locks, those red lips he loves to kiss so much- seems like a daydream, but gods he knows she's real. Another proof she exists are those live smiles and beautiful laughter, or was it that adorable grin?

In her perspective, he was that fluffy bear with black locks, gleaming emerald green eyes and those powerful heartbeats that was music to her ears. He's a cute mess, but was it how he brush his lips against her knuckles sweetly?

Elsa broke away from her carried away imagination, blinking her eyes to find Aiden smiling goofily at her, clapping his hands gently to catch her attention.

"Didn't you get enough sleep, love?" He laughed, wrapping his arms around her body and placing his chin on her shoulder, "Otherwise, I'm sure you can take a thirty minutes nap on my shoulder."

Elsa giggled, blushing in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I was daydreaming about something... What were you saying?"

Aiden shook his head, "No, baby. Never mind about it, it's alright. It's just about the cake flavor for the wedding. But do you know what's important?"

"Hm?"

"My woman having enough rest. Come on, curl up next to me." Aiden patted his lap. Elsa sighed, motioning to her dress, "I would, but this dress is a bit too much. I want to look my best for later. Maybe lean on your shoulder?"

Aiden nodded, bringing her head close to his shoulder lovingly, his hand intertwined with hers; secured and safe. Elsa closed her eyes, ignoring the disturbing sunlight that peeked through the window. Aiden gently kissed her exposed shoulder, since the dress's sleeves are off shoulder.

He wanted to show her that he loved every spec of her existence, he treasures every bit of her form and he wants her to feel safe and trouble free.

"Good morning!"

Aiden slowly turned to the bubbly princess of Arendelle, careful not to wake up the girl in his arms. Aiden mouthed the greeting back, gesturing to the napping queen he held. Anna nodded understandingly, dragging her husband to sit on the sofa.

"Woah, you two woke up quite early." Kristoff spoke softly.

"It was all Elsa, she wanted to look her best for her arrival on the Northern Isles. I had to tell her again and again that it wasn't necessary." Aiden chuckles.

"Ah, the perfectionist Elsa. Been there, done that." Anna smiled, "She's a stinker when it comes to disorganized things. There was one time she accidentally spilled her ink all over her desk, oh gods above, you don't wanna know what happens next."

Kristoff gasped, laughing heartily, "Oh, I remember that. It took me and Anna like three hours to keep Elsa off from her study so Gerda and Kai can fix it properly."

"I can hear you all." Elsa murmured, snuggling to her fiancé's arm. The four of them except Elsa laughed, Aiden patting her head gently.

"Mind I tell you about that one time she and Anna rode their bicycle in the courtyard-"

Elsa's eyes snapped open dramatically, yelping, "Kristoff! Don't!"

"And of course, they lost their balance and ended up hitting the water fountain." Kristoff finished bravely, earning a scowl from his wife and his sister in law.

Kristoff and Elsa used to be less open and shy with each other, but as days passed by, through shared picnics with Anna, Olaf and Sven, they named themselves "Ice Bros." They supported each other as if they were siblings, told each other advice whenever in need of it. Somehow, it went to the point where they could tease each other like a big brother and an annoyed little sister.

"I was a mess." Elsa pouted.

"What a beautiful mess you are, then." Aiden kissed her cheek, "In fact, you should hear about my fencing accidents back when I was a teenager."

Elsa gawked up at him, "But love, you're a gold one when it comes to fencing!"

"Oh, not all times, snowflake. I had my mishaps. Ask Magoo." Aiden chuckled.

Anna grinned evilly, "You should ask me about Elsa's."

Elsa gasped, "Anna, seriously?"

"Oh please, I kind of bent your sword-"

Elsa tackled her sister down, tickling her sides mercilessly. Aiden and Kristoff stared at their girls who battled against each other, Elsa releasing an unladylike laugh while Anna lost her shoe since it was tossed to the other side of the room.

Aiden smiled down at them affectionately, "We're lucky to have them, aren't we?"

Kristoff nodded, a loving smile on his lips, "We are. So much."

An hour passed, and they had safely reached the port of the Northern Isles. Aiden's eyes lit up as the Northern royal guards took their positions on each side of the deck. Their uniform consisted the kingdom's signature color-red velvet, with gold accents and tall, feathered hats that were similar to fedoras.

They held up their white gloved hands, positioning stiffly into a salute. On the very end of the deck, on the main ground, is Queen Helena, with open arms.

Aiden dashed up to his mother excitedly, hugging her with his strong arms. Helena ruffled his hair lightly, kissing his cheek and pulling away, "It's good to see you again, son. I'm glad you two accepted my suggestion. I've been pretty lonely."

Aiden chuckled, nodding, "Elsa wishes to see you too. How was the kingdom?"

Helena looked around, her eyes gazing from the proud white palace to the breathtaking city in its lower part.

"Prosperous, Aiden. Very much so."
