Here is a new project of mine! It will be based on different song lyrics and quotes, so I hope you enjoy :) Disclaimer: I don't own ROTG or Frozen.
"I keep forgetting I should let you go.
But when you look at me,
The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight.
I can't remember to forget you."
Can't Remember to Forget You – Shakira
Elsa looked up at the ceiling.
Yesterday she had left him a note by his bedside and swore to herself that she wouldn't see him again. She crept out of his bed to hurriedly put on her clothes and silently exited his apartment, a ritual she was so use to doing. As she pushed the elevator button to bring her down to the main floor, she silently cursed herself. How many times was she supposed to allow herself to fall back into the arms of Jack Frost?
Yes she loved him, and yes he loved her back. But they fought all the time and on many occasions, their arguments ended in them yelling at each other until they both lost their voices. She called him lazy and immature, and couldn't stand that he almost never took her seriously. He challenged her back by saying that she was a workaholic and only cared about her work instead of him. Elsa told herself that neither one of them deserved this. Who would want to stay in a relationship that consisted of only bickering? It would be best if she ended things between them.
The first time she tried to break up with him, she couldn't go through with it. She suddenly couldn't recall any of their arguments. The only thing she could remember was the first time they held hands a week after Jack had asked her to be his girlfriend. Or the time he brought her dinner because she was spending another late night in the office. She smiled to herself as she replayed in her mind the memory of the first time he told her he loved her. Selective memory was a tricky thing; it clouded her judgment and only allowed her to think of the good times. She was very much aware of all this and yet when it came down to ending things, she wouldn't do it; she couldn't do it.
He was different, no one else made her feel things the way Jack did. Yes, she wished he could be a little more serious and yes, he could be a little childish. But she loved him and no matter where he went, she knew she would follow him. No one else would put up with her or go out of their way to keep them together. He was a part of her, and that would never change no matter how many arguments they have.
The second time she tried to break up with him, it was after a fight about how she had forgotten that they had a dinner date. She tried to explain to him that there was an important deadline that she had to meet, but he wouldn't listen. Elsa grew angry and screamed back that he shouldn't be acting like the victim. There were countless times that he left her waiting alone at home because he was out with his friends. They yelled and yelled until Elsa finally shouted "Fine, let's break up then!"
He stared at her in disbelief and watched her blink back tears. Out of frustration, Elsa clenched her fist and hit the wall. She turned around and was about to leave when she felt Jack grab her arm; she struggled to loosen his grip on her. He turned her around so that she was facing him; she stared up at him defiantly until she felt him kiss her.
And just like that, Elsa succumbed to the kiss and put her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist. He lifted her up and headed to his bedroom, kicking the door close behind them. He placed her on the bed and before she could say another word, he placed his lips on hers and kissed her hungrily. His hands moved up her leg and tugged at the dress she was wearing.
"Jack," she said breathlessly, breaking the kiss.
"Don't say a word," he kissed her again and she nodded, running her hand through his white hair. He began to kiss her jawline and moved down to her neck, kissing it slowly causing Elsa to shudder in delight. "Please don't leave me, Elsa."
"I won't," she said. She brought his face up to hers and kissed him again; she parted her lips to allow him to deepen the kiss. Elsa felt her dress come off while Jack held her waist firmly, feeling the curves of her body. She took off his shirt and traced his tone muscles lightly with her fingers. She pressed his body closer to hers and let herself get lost in the moment.
After that, it became a routine thing. If the threat of breaking up ever came close to happening to Elsa and Jack, one of them would stop the other. Elsa knew better than to be one of those couples that never broke out of this cycle. She felt so stupid each time this happened; she was angry at Jack, but mostly she was angry at herself.
She closed her eyes and sighed. What was she doing? She shouldn't be here. Elsa thought back to all the times they almost broke up but never did. Was this fair, to either one of them? Was this all a mistake? Elsa wrinkled her eyebrows in frustration when she felt something tug at her hand. She opened her eyes and turned to the side of the bed to see Jack watching her intensely.
He snaked one of his arms around her waist to pull her closer to him. She felt him kiss the top of her head and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. She closed her eyes and sighed contently and in response, he hugged her tighter.
"Mine," he whispered.
"Yours," she whispered back.
They weren't perfect, nor would they ever be. But after years of fighting with each other, Elsa realized that she would rather fight with him than be happy with someone else. She would steal and lie to be with him, she would do anything for him. She would give away her last penny if that meant she could lie in his arm for the rest of her life.
She couldn't remember to let him go, her heart wouldn't allow it. When Elsa looked at Jack, she always saw one thing: the memory of them first kissing under the moonlight. It was at that moment she knew that she had fallen into his trap and would never be able to escape. Elsa lifted her head and kissed him; she would never be able to remember to forget him for as long as she lived.
