It was probably unhealthy for her mouth to be this dry. She couldn't hear anything but a buzzing static in her ears and her own breathing, although she felt more than heard it as her chest lifted and fell with alarming rapidity.
She tried calming herself down, but that didn't work to well. Being blindfolded was bad enough, but after her supposed "friend" Olaf had spun her around - giggling all the while, mind you - and shoved her into the hallway closet to await her doom, well, she wasn't exactly in a zen state.
Doom was probably a harsh word.
She was probably the only one who had dreaded coming to this "getting-to-know-you" party, something that began as just Anna and her close buddies and ended up with half the school at her friend Hans' house - although, the place was more like a mansion. She had already almost gotten lost, twice. Luckily, Anna had kept her close for most of the night, introducing her to people - as her sister, which was as nice as it was generous.
And then somebody had suggested playing a game. An innocent little game, they said, nothing wrong or scary about it.
Yet she found herself kidnapped, blinded, and locked away all in the name of this "Blind Date".
Elsa had never heard of it before, but seeing as she'd been home-schooled by her father and had only just transferred to a "real" school when he and her mother reconciled, that wasn't a surprise. Anna's life must have been very different from hers.
When Hans had described it, it didn't seem like a fun game at all.
"Just walk around," he had said, empty little smile of his gracing his lips. He honestly freaked her out a bit, but Anna liked him. "Like it's a normal party. And it still is! Except," he paused, and his gaze landed on Elsa as he smirked in a way she could only describe as sinister, "Every once in a while, two people will get blindfolded and put in the Date Chamber, and they can't come out until they kiss. And you have to kiss, or you'll spoil the whole thing."
Elsa's evening definitely felt spoiled already.
But still, here she was, waiting for the other victim to be shunted into the closet - "Date Chamber" indeed - along with her, trying not to hyperventilate and pass out.
She heard muffled shuffling outside the door, and could hardly stand from her curled position on the closet floor before it was hurled open and someone was pushed inside. They fell against her and her hands flew out automatically to grab them.
"Uh?" A high pitched squeak and inexplicable softness underneath Elsa's palm made her jerk away.
"S-s-sorry!" she squealed, backing up until she hit the wall of the tiny storage space and hugged herself.
"No talking!" A muffled, but deep voice came from outside. "Kiss and I'll let you out!" The voice was definitely deep and probably male, but Elsa didn't recognize it. She jumped when a hesitant hand felt its way along her wrist and up her arm.
After that all was quiet aside from her and her companion's heavy breathing.
The hand on Elsa's arm moved slowly to her shoulder and pulled her closer, and she whined, nervous and unsure that she wanted a stranger to take her first kiss in the dark. Even though it was a relief that said stranger was (probably) a girl.
"Shh," the hiss was more of a slow release of breath that Elsa could feel against her chin.
Elsa bit her lip and tilted her head down, heart beating fast in her chest. The stranger's arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer, and Elsa stepped forward in an attempt to assist only to step on the girl's toe.
"Hn!" A - cute, she admitted silently - grunt wooshed over Elsa's face.
"Mm!" Elsa hummed, trying to sound apologetic but not break the silent rule. She wasn't sure if it worked but the girl squeezed tighter for a moment before releasing her and setting hands on Elsa's hips.
If she was being honest with herself, Elsa liked that a lot.
She let herself tilt her head down a bit more, realizing that the other girl was so close she could feel the soft normal breaths puff over her lips. Elsa swallowed, a tight feeling in her chest accompanied by a strange warmth, and moved a bit closer, puckering her lips slightly.
She missed.
Her mouth brushed against the slightly rigid bridge of what had to be the girl's nose, prompting a nervous giggle from the both of them. Elsa felt the drag of skin beneath her sensitized mouth as the girl moved her head and tilted it so that their lips pressed against each other.
All Elsa could think was 'soft'.
The kiss was barely a brush at first, so light that Elsa wasn't even sure if they were touching yet. And then she was. She was very sure. She was sure that her insides lit up when the two of them met at the mouth and pushed closer, jostling in the tiny space to curl into one another.
It was over too soon but there was a shuddery breath against Elsa's lips and they were kissing again, this time a bit less soft but not any less amazing.
A tiny whimper built up in Elsa's throat as they moved against each other, arms wrapped around each other's waists pulling their bodies together, but she quashed it. She didn't want to ruin the star blazing in her mouth by making a sound. But when she felt something tickle and flick against her mouth, she couldn't help it. The whine escaped when she opened her lips to gasp, and suddenly there was something wet wriggling against her tongue and teeth. It felt strange, more interesting than good, but full of potential had it not been so… enthusiastic. She pulled away with a giggle and covered her mouth with her hand.
Then they were breathing again, the heaviness of their panting more excited than nervous, now.
She wanted to kiss her again.
But when she leaned closer to do so, the door opened, and the boy outside was talking.
"Okay you guys have been in there long enough, soooooh no."
"Come on Kris, it can't be that bad. Who is it? Aurora? Cindy?"
Elsa froze.
Beside her she felt the girl who took her first kiss move to take off her blindfold. She ripped hers off in time to meet wide, blue-green, familiar eyes.
Elsa stared, and Anna stared right back, her jaw swinging low, lips still plump and wet from their "Blind Date".
"E-Elsa?"
