the stolen moments meme.

Time spent with the person you care the most for is a precious, invaluable thing. Most people take it for granted, though, as they can be with their beloved as much as they'd like. But not you. You and the one you love are kept apart - be it by the people you know, the merit of what you are causing your relationship to be taboo, your true destiny and calling, or even something as relatively mundane as your job.

Today, though, you get a rare private moment with them. This is the first time in quite a while, and may be the last time in months, if not years. What do you do? Comfort each other? Hold each other tight? Have sex? Argue? The specifics are up to you; mix and match your canons, tag someone new to see how this stolen moment plays out.

[ Poor Anna. Elsa hadn't been the only one who had suffered from a life of isolation behind closed gates. Even her own communication skills were a bit lacking at times--but not nearly as much as Anna's could be. However, she was getting so much better and the only way she further expand her experience was through practice. ]

Yes, that's very true and I'll definitely consider it.

[ And maybe consider taking on a few more people to take care of more mundane affairs so that she could focus more on the larger ones. Even after some time had passed, she still tended to rely on herself out of habit. ]

But... [ Delegating such things would take a lot of time and effort. The thought alone was exhausting. She sighed and settled back against her pillows, giving Azula's hand a light squeeze. She enjoyed the warmth against her cooler skin. ] ... that can be taken care of at a later time.

Yes.

[Blushing at the squeeze she brings the cool hand up and kisses it gently]

This time should be about making you feel better again. Better then better if at all possible.

[Meeting her eyes and offering an encouraging smile]

[ She returned that smile. ]

You've already accomplished that much.

[ While she appreciated the doctors taking care of her, it was nice to see someone other than just them for the first time in almost two weeks. Even as tired as she was. ]

[It was so peculiar this new relationship. Part of her wondered what else she should say. What should she do? But the other side of her reminded that Elsa had not grown close to her for being anyone but herself. The loyal protector.]

Do you wish for anything? Something to drink? Another blanket?

[The words escaped her mouth before she could stop herself. So much for being a strong and stoic warrior woman. This had reduced her to a doting nursemaid.]

No thank you, I'm fine. You've done enough worrying over me, so please... just relax...

[ Tightening her hold a bit on Azula's hand, she gave her arm a gentle tug, trying to coax her closer. ]

You can sit closer... I promise I'm not sick anymore.

[ Which was a lot easier to say than "I want affection." Though she hoped it got the same point across; asking for it still felt a bit awkward. ]

[Relax, right. Azula could relax...she knew how didn't she? Either way she drew closer to Elsa, then as an after thought inched even closer till they were only inches apart.]

I'm not afraid of being ill. I would suffer a much worse fate so long as I could make you happy.

[Then in that sudden and stiff sort of way Azula had when she was trying to be spontaneous she drew in and stole a kiss]

[ Elsa honestly wondered if there would come a day when kissing Azula would become relatively normal and she wouldn't get so flustered. Thus far, that had yet to happen, especially when it was spontaneous. What probably didn't help matters was the fact that Elsa couldn't even remember the last time they'd kissed. Clearly, that needed to be remedied.

Cheeks flushing a bit redder, she didn't quite draw back when Azula pulled away. She lifted a hand up to the smaller girl's cheek, gently sliding her fingers back behind her jaw, her thumb brushing the apple of her cheek. ]

I could never be happy if I knew that you were suffering somehow. Please never be that reckless.

[ Closing that small bit of distance between them, she pressed her lips against Azula's for another, longer kiss. ]

[There are so many things she wants to say to Elsa.

Yes My Queen.
I'm sorry. I will never put you through such a thing.
It is my duty to suffer your pain for you.
I am never reckless.
You're so beautiful.
Please never leave me.
I love you.

But the kiss silences her words before they can leave her mind. In fact the kiss silences her mind and the thousand other thoughts always ticking away. She's not thinking about the fastest escape route from this room in case Elsa needs to flee. She's not worried about someone poisoning Elsa's next meal or what new reckless thing Anna might be doing that could worry Elsa back into sickness. Time seems to stop for her as the kiss lingers. She leans into it with warm soft lips and shares her heat with her Mistress.]

[ It was incredibly easy to lose herself in that moment; the warmth that Azula emitted was just as soothing and comforting as always. Though she wasn't sure if the increasing warmth in her cheeks was because of Azula or if they were flushing on their own. A good few blissful seconds passed before Elsa finally pulled back just enough to break the kiss, the need to breathe being the sole reason why. However, she wasn't quite willing to give up that warmth. Wrapping her arms around the other woman, she pulled her down against her, shifting a bit so that Azula could rest her head against her chest. ]

I've really missed this... [ She whispered before pressing another soft kiss against the top of her head. ] If you don't mind... I just want to hold you right now.

[Her eyes were wide at first at the unfamiliar sensation of cuddling. But the warmth and affection quickly soothed her concerns. She could hear Elsa's heart beating and somehow that felt like the most important thing in the world. She slid her arms around Elsa in turn so she was even closer.]

I do not mind.

[A pause and then]

If you would permit my Queen...you have not been well and I believe that being happy would help you heal faster. So...as my um...being here...makes you happy.

[She squirms alittle but is unwilling to move from her position]

Perhaps I should stay here with you tonight rather then in my own quarters.

[Not the most indecent proposal she's considered making to Elsa, but surely the staff would be whispering about it for days.]

[ For a while, Elsa didn't quite respond with anything other than soft hum following the suggestion. Even as much as she would have loved to have Azula stay with her that night, there was still that persistent nagging of her conscience in the back of her head.

Their relationship was strictly on a need-to-know basis. Anna knew what the servants didn't know--but Anna was much more accepting. There would come a time when the servants would have to know too, but she wasn't entirely sure that she was ready for them to find out. Even as much as she trusted them, they were like family, after all, there was still a hint of fear in what they might say and the rumors that could spread.

And there was no telling how she would have handled the situation had her parents still been alive. She tried not to even go there with her thoughts. Queen or not--she was still entitled to some doubt. ]

I would like that, but...

[ She sighed and closed her eyes. Setting that all of that worry aside, she finally decided that she needed to just... let it go. What was she so afraid of? What odds were against her? Anna took it well enough and her servants were very loyal and true. They'd been sworn to secrecy before, they could very well do it again.

If there were questions or suspicions, she could deal with them. ]

... No--nevermind. I... I would like that very much.

[Azula had braced herself for rejection, after all it was a risk wasn't it? What would people say? It wasn't that she cared for their opinions but she knew it was important they respect Elsa. But when Elsa agreed she felt her heart suddenly soaring. A warm honest smile was Elsa's prize]

I thought you might. I'm not sure I will be as good company as your sister...but at least I can share my warmth.

[Via hugs and kisses of course]

[ Smile finally returning at sight of Azula's, Elsa laughed softly at her words, slowly shaking her head. ]

Don't compare yourself to my sister. There is a vast difference between my love for her and my love for you.

[ She pressed another kiss against Azula's temple. ]

[That makes Azula burn with affection, her face blooming red, the entire room seems to heat up and humidify especially when she's kissed. She inches even closer now and gives Elsa's hand a squeeze]

My love for you has no comparison.

[And what is unspoken is because Azula has never felt love like this. Elsa has awoken in her feelings she didn't think she was capable of]

[ Of course, Elsa was completely unbothered by the rising temperature in the room. If anything, it only caused her to pull Azula closer if at all possible. Another light flush of soft pink hit her cheeks at those words and her smile grew as she lightly nuzzled her cheek against the top of Azula's head. ]

You'll never know how happy it makes me to hear you say that.

[ It was whispered, but the sheer amount of joy in her tone was very much present. ]

I wouldn't have anyone else. Ever.

[ Maybe it was a bit naive for her to think such a thing; but she really believed it. She wasn't worried about the future or about things changing between them because she honestly couldn't see it. The thought never even crossed her mind. ]

[Azula in turn nuzzles into Elsa, the action is unfamiliar to her but she's adapting quickly and it feels so nice]

No one is more worthy of your love.

[Finally a little pride in herself. It had taken awhile to find it again. Long pale fingers stroke Elsa's cheek and along her ear gently.]

My perfect Queen. Beautiful Elsa.

[ Elsa was thrilled to hear that bit of pride in Azula's statement; because it was something that she honestly believed as well. Lifting a hand over over Azula's she held it in place long enough to turn her hand and press a kiss against her palm. ]

That's because no one is nearly as loyal and perfect as you.

[ Thrilled or not, that bit of extra warmth coupled with her exhaustion wasn't exactly making it easy to continue staying awake. She closed her eyes as she continue to hold Azula, content with that close contact. ]

I feel very lucky.

We have both been lucky to find each other. The rest was earned.

[Who'd have ever thought their personalities would mesh well let alone bring them to this point? But such as things were they were changing each other for the better. The dark haired woman gently guided her Queen back down onto the bed keeping her pressed close.]

Rest my Queen. I will not leave your side.

[Nor her bed. Not just yet. A selfish desire for Elsa to fall asleep safe in Azula's arms had the bodyguard's face burning red]

[ Elsa allowed herself to be pushed back down against the bed, that final bit of comfort almost immediately causing her to start drifting off. Though her hold on Azula most certainly didn't falter. She didn't want her to leave. Ever. ]

Thank you... [ Her voice trailed off a bit. ]
