#and of course elsa is very patient and soft when teaching him

[justlookatthosesausages]

Prompt: How about some ice bros? Elsa teaching the basics of being royalty?

(I have written some similar prompts many times, but I actually never went on topics like ‘royal eating’, so let’s go!)

=======

“And about fancy dinners…”

“Oh my, I’m the worst at those.” Muttered Kristoff. 

“No you’re not.” Assured Elsa with a warm smile. “You just need to learn.”

She asked him to stay seated at the great table and went to a cupboard where she took cutlery and all the tableware they needed. She dressed two sets, so her brother-in-law could imitate her movements when she would show him. 

Kristoff was so nervous as she put everything in place that he fidgeted with the green and purple table cloth that dropped on his thighs. He tried to light the situation a bit with a random question.

“How do you know where the tableware is?”

The blonde smiled as she put a wine glass and a water glass in front of him. “We may have staff preparing everything in the castle, it doesn’t change the fact I know where everything is. Also, Anna often breaks things. It’s handy to know where to get replacements. Don’t get me started on the fact that she broke two thousands salad plates when she was a child.”

The man laughed at the memory of the time Anna told him about it. Elsa chuckled.

“Okay, focus. I’m gonna teach you the utility of each and every item on the table.”

He nodded wisely, and listened as she pointed at everything, standing next to him. She explained their purpose in a soft voice, and even gave him some personal tips. 

Kristoff sighed once she was done, even if he was happy to know all that new knowledge. “Woaw, that’s a lot of stuff.”

Elsa chuckled. “There won’t be any situation where you’ll need all of them at once. I took every possibly knife, for example, and it doesn’t make sense that they’re all here. One important rule that always apply, however, no matter how much cutlery you have, is to always start on the outside.”

“What?”

He rose his head to her. “What do you mean? I thought we were rehearsing for a dinner inside this room. Anna told me it’s the only room where she welcomes guests to eat after meetings. Why do we need to eat outside first?” 

It took all of Elsa’s willpower to not burst into laughter right then. She grabbed the back of the other chair to restrain herself, and stopped her giggle with a cough. “Uhm... This is not... This is not what I meant. Outside, as in external cutlery. The first course requires the fork and knife that are on each end, then the second course the second to last fork and knife, and so on. Far left and far right are the first you’ll use.”

“Ooooooh. Okay.”

He then blushed deeply, feeling truly ashamed of his comment. “I’m so stupid. I didn’t even-”

“Kristoff, you’re very far from stupid. Trust me.”    

She put a hand on his shoulder, and dove her eyes in his. 

“It took us years to learn every royal manner with Anna. We literally had classes about it, with annoying tutors and so on. So don’t despair, it’s normal that you’re lost. You have the right to be wrong.”

Kristoff timidly nodded and muttered a thank you. 

Elsa pointed at the biggest chair of the room, at the end of the table. “Also, Anna will always defend and support you. If something goes wrong during the dinner, don’t panic, I’m certain that she will give you a sign as a warning, or get your back if you receive a mean comment from one of the guests.”

The young King nodded. “Okay.”

He then smiled. “Funny, it does sound familiar to you. Did you, by any chance, have to give advice to Anna during the three years after the Great Thaw?”

Elsa shook her head, but was amused anyway. “No, she knows everything about royalty basics. But I had to attract her attention sometimes during dinners. She has a tendency to be very hungry when there are diplomats coming over. Long days of economic exchanges open her appetite. And she then eats like an ogre.”

“Yep, that’s still true.” Laughed Kristoff. 

He put the cutlery down, precisely putting everything back in place. “Can we start over? I want to get this perfectly.”

“Sure.” Smiled the Snow Queen. “The dinner only is tomorrow night, we have plenty of time.”

“Actually, I was thinking about starting from the very beginning.” Said Kristoff, standing up, putting the chair neatly at its emplacement, and walking to the door. 

“Oh, you mean, from the moment you welcome the diplomats in?” 

He nodded, a bit nervously, then determined. Elsa smirked.

“You don’t take this lightly, uh?” 

She stood up and joined him in the corridor, where they could pretend guest would come and do the simulation all over again. Elsa smirked, a familiar sarcastic eyebrow raising as she lifted her head to the blond man.

“Tell me, who is this dedication for? Do you put that much effort for your image or to impress Anna?”

Kristoff had a sly smile, and bowed respectfully. “As a King, I have all the right to not answer your question.” 

She let out an impressed scoff, and bowed back. “Alright. Well, King Kristoff of Arendelle, after you.” 

Elsa gestured to the room then he walked in, and they did the whole dinner rehearsal again.

Instant Family?

Title is not that great, hell even the story might not be that great. But I'm giving it a go. Once again, I'm not a great writer but this has been rolling around my head.

Henry had laughed so much tonight, his cheeks still hurt. A very competitive game of DDR (dance dance revolution) with Elsa and her kids, turned into the silliest dance party he's ever been too. Furniture had been pushed to the side so Elsa could properly teach the kids how to dance the running man. Henry dared not to get up and try that at all, he'd need more than those two beers at dinner to even attempt it.

Henry loved the energy and closeness of her family and they welcomed him like he had been a friend they've know for years. Henry admired they way she handled the kids herself. She didn't sweat the small stuff and she understood they are great days and others where its okay to have cereal for dinner. The excitement surrounding them was so infectious that he found himself often walking over to their condo after the gym. He felt completely accepted and it reminded him of his home back in Jersey.

Though at times his heart felt heavy, he longed for a family just like this. Rambunctious kids running outside with vivid imaginations. He imagined someday rolling out of bed on a lazy Saturday morning to the smell of chocolate chips waffles and bacon. Hearing the hushed squabbling over how many pieces of bacon they could sneak before setting the table.

Five year old Isabella had let Henry in on the bacon heist that occured every Saturday morning. It was cutest thing to see Isa explaining to him that he should probably use his superman powers.

"Henry you gotta be super duper fastest!"

Henry smiled at the seriousness in her tone. Isa had even offered to distract her mom if he needed help, since he didn't have the suit on. That was his first of many Saturday morning waffles.

Henry was caught off guard with the screaming excitement of Elsa and kids when Push It by Salt n Peppa came on. He couldn't help but smile at how free and in the moment she was. He laughed loudly and shook his head, when Elsa started shimming her shoulders and shaking her head. Strands of her hair were coming out of her loose ponytail, her eyes were closed and she smiled bright. it tugged his heart when he saw her in these joyful moments. The kids fed off of her energy, 5 yr Isa was mimicking her mothers rhythmic movements. He was surprised and impressed that even 12 year old Marco was dancing.

Elsa danced hopped her way over to Henry and made a big show of of using her air lasso to pull him to her. Henry let out the biggest laugh at her silliness. He shook his head but rose to his feet and rolled his shoulders along with the music. He hadnt felt this carefree in long time. He was loving it.

**"Alright, alright niños, its time to get ready for bed." Elsa called out as she shut off the speakers.

His favorite chorus of "But mom" started.

Elsa laughed and shook her head.

"Sorry guys tomorrow is another day, go get ready for bed I'll clean up."

The kids grumbled as usual but listened anyway.

Henry sighed, this only meant he had to leave soon. He already missed them. He thought about Elsa a lot, envisioning waking up to her morning kisses before the hustle and bustle of getting the kids up for school. He could see himself teaching the kids rugby, proper soccer and maybe taking them camping. He wouldn't mind a few princess dress up parties or helping Isa sell all her troops girl scout cookies either.

At first when he meet the new single gym member he tried to be completely charming, hoping to ask her out.  But a little self doubt crept up on him and he lost his nerve. Later he heard through the gym grapevine that Elsa wasn't ready to date. That stung a bit, he definitely felt a spark when they talked.  Then he learned that she was divorced with two kids and that threw him for a loop. He wondered if he was responsible enough to date a parent. Dates would require extra planning so anything spontaneous might be out of the question.  He supposed it was for the best. If they had started dating and it became serious how could he leave her and her kids for months at a time. She would need someone more present right? He couldn't do that to them, so he kept his feelings towards her to himself. And hoped she wouldn't catch him staring. Instead he settled for friendship and greedily accepted an open invitation to her house anytime.

Henry started moving furniture back and picking up pillows off the floor while Elsa swept up a bit.

"You don't have to help me clean up Henry."

"I really don't mind."

Elsa beamed and it made his heart beat a touch faster.

**

He was lingering a bit after saying his final goodbyes and wishing Isa a goodnight. Marco would always pound his fist and Isa would raise her arms so he could carry her into a big hug. Sometimes he'd make silly faces just to hear her cute little giggle.

***

Elsa felt her stomach in knots, she felt hot, sweaty and completely nervous. Last time she walked Henry out she gave him small peck on his cheek. She hugged him like always but he smelled so delicious and when hugged her a little tighter she just went for it. She was definitely sure he thought it was just a friendly peck. There was no way he'd be interested in someone like her, right? But oh god did he make her swoon everytime he offered to throw the football around with Marco or when he'd set up a little tea party fort with Isa. He was completely sweet and patient with them. He didn't know how much it meant to her that her kids got to see a how caring and understanding a man could be. Marco really looked up to him, always eagerly taking in any advice Henry gave him.

For almost a year they've known Henry and her feelings for him seemed to triple each time he was around. He always offered a sympathetic ear and encouraging words. He was so tender sometimes it felt like her heart was going to split. He was such a goofball and she was sure that not everyone knew that side of him.

**

The kids had already rushed off to bed and that left both of them standing around awkwardly.

"Walk me out?"

"Of course."

She lead him down the narrow hallway to the front door. Elsa opened the door and as Henry passed in front of her he playfully nudged her shoulder.

"Everything okay Elsa?"

"Oh, um yes. I'm just tired."

"Are you sure, do you need anything," his voice a little more serious.

"Hmmmm, maybe next time you can bring Kal? I'd love some fluffy cuddles."

"Ugh, Kal gets all the attention!"

"Oh stop it, you know we love you too!" Elsa laughed.

Henry laughed along but he felt giddy about her saying "love" even though it was in friendship kinda way.

"Come here," she said as she opened her arms.

And this was his favorite part of the night.

This time he leaned down wrapping his arms around her waist and she quickly wrapped hers around his neck. She whispered in his ear, "thanks for coming over" and he squeezed her tighter hoping for a repeat of last week. He felt her turn her face and gently kiss his cheek again. His body felt like it was vibrating and he swore he could feel her heart beating out if her chest. Henry pulled away slightly to look at her, he smiled a her blushing face. He saw her eyes glance down at something, his lips maybe? She bit the corner of her lips and slowly pulled him back down to her. Henry then felt her soft lips kiss his once then twice and finally he kissed her back. Her lips parted and he hungrily kissed her, he hoped she could somehow feel how he felt about her. Elsa moaned into his mouth and Henry gripped her hips. She pulled back breathlessly, her chest rapidly heaving. Henry felt a jolt of sensations, his body feeling cold and hot with a flush around his ears.

Elsa was in some kind of euphoric state and suddenly she felt freezing wave of embarrassment rush over her. She quickly pulled away, stuttering an apology.

"I, I don't know what came over me. I didn't mean to, mean to...I'm really sorry Henry." " You should probably go," she whispered.

Henry was completely confused as to what was happening now. Did she regret kissing him? She wasn't even looking at him.

"Elsa, can we talk about this for a minute."

"Mommy?"

They both turned to see Isa rubbing her eyes walking towards them.

"Can we talk about it tomorrow? I'll call you" she whispered.

"Mommy, come read to me please."

Elsa quickly scooped up Isa and turned back to Henry pleading him with her eyes.

He wanted to stay, he wanted to tell her he'd wait outside if she wanted, so they talk tonight.

"Please Henry."

The looked she gave him broke his heart, her eyes were starting to well up her nose getting a little pink.

"Okay. Tomorrow?"

She nodded, feeling relieved.

He closed the gap between them and hugged them both.

"Goodnight princess."

"Nite Henry."

He kissed Elsa's cheek and walked out the door.
