AN: So this is late. I just finalized the whole chapter last night then procrastination hit. Ta da? Well here's my attempt for male!Elsa.
Chapter 2: Funny Scare
Elisar tug at at the cape that he's wearing. Leave it to his mother to dress him up as a vampire on Halloween. Earlier, his objections fell on deaf ears as his mother clothed him. He emphasized on the the fact that she completely disregarded his preference and request about costumes. Idun just waved him off and proceeded to fastening the cape on his shoulders. "Trust me, Elisar. You look better as a vampire." Then she brought out the plastic fangs. He turned his nose up and sniffed in disdain. Idun raised her brow at this. She shrugged and deposited it to Elisar's pocket.
And now his outside the Westergard's house holding a burlap sack. One of the Westergard brothers promised to accompany him and Hannah Westergard trick or treating. Anderson, his four-year old brother, has been deemed old enough to come along. He wore a cat onesie complete with a fake cat nose and whiskers. He would tug at Elisar and point at any cat that he would see. "Look, Ewisar! Kitty, kitty!" Elisar would just smile and ruffle his brother's strawberry blond hair. "Yes it is. Look, that one looks just like you." He said while pointing at an orange tabby. Anderson's eyes gleamed and followed the cat with his eyes until it disappeared from view. Then, the door opened and out came Hannah and her brother Aaron.
Aaron's wearing a pirate get-up. The older boy is sporting an eye patch and a typical pirate hat with a skull in the center. He's wearing a white shirt with a black vest, black pants, a belt buckle, and upturned boots. He's holding what looks like to be a large pillowcase. A pillowcase? Now why on earth? Realization dawned on Elisar. That's his candy bag? The two reached them. "Argh! Hello me hearties." Hannah rolled her eyes at her brother's antics. Elisar shrugged his shoulders. "Why are you holding a pillowcase?" The red head smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "This way I can have way more candy!"
"He lost his burlap sack." Hannah quipped.
"I told you to keep quiet about that!" Aaron whispered harshly.
"You wouldn't have lost it if you weren't so stupid."
"Shut up!"
"So how did you lose it?" Elisar asked potentially stopping a week of "cold war" between the two.
"I didn't exactly lose it you see." Aaron looked around for eavesdroppers. "I hid somethings in it. You know, so my stupid siblings won't touch them."
"What did you hide in it that is so important?" Hannah asked her brows furrowed.
"None of your business. Anyway one of our brothers found it and said he owns it now cause he found it. I chase him all the way to our garden. Long story short, my burlap sack fell in the well-"
"You have a well?" Elisar interjected. His father, Agnar, talk about people not having wells anymore today once during her mother was reading him and Anderson a bedtime story.
"Yeah mom had it built for the garden. Now pay attention. So I asked him to replace everything but he threatened me that he's gonna tell mom about my stuff. Wasn't that unfair!?" At that point they had already started walking. Hannah had engaged Anderson and judging from the wide smile and blushing cheeks of Anderson, it's safe to say that his baby brother is enjoying this.
"So I just asked him to replace my sack and he gave me this pillowcase. I can't complain because he was going to tell." Hannah had turned her attention from Anderson to them and spoke, "Again, what is so important about the stuff that you hide at at that sack? Why won't you and the others tell me? Is it something that boys can only know?" Aaron scratched his nape and he looks nervous. "Yeah, kind of..." Hannah huffed and crossed her arms. He could tell that his friend is upset so Elisar asked, "Can you tell me?" Aaron looked at him and raised his brows. "Yeah. When you're older." With that he continued walking. Hannah seemed to be more upset than ever. "You'll tell him but you won't tell me? Aaron you are such a big poop!" Elisar felt nervous. It's Anderson's first time to go trick or treating. He wants it to be awesome and it won't be if this two starts quarreling.
Surprisingly, Aaron just laughed. "Hannah, believe me when I say this, you are going to thank me later that I didn't tell you." They continued walking until they're just two blocks away from the first house. Elisar feels bad about his friend. "Hey, cool witch costume." Hannah is wearing a black dress with a black pointy hat. Her hair is loose and she's not holding a broom. Strange. She gave him a smile and he gave her one too.
By this time, they have reached the door. Aaron proceeded to ring the door bell. A few seconds later, the door opened and a woman wearing a blue dress came out holding a bowl of candy. "Trick or treat!" They said in unison. The woman warmly smiled at them. "Oh my, aren't you all adorable? " She scanned all of them and her gaze landed on Anderson and his pumpkin styled plastic carrier. "Kit! Come look at them." Stomping could be heard and a man wearing a Victorian style military suit came to view. The woman handed the bowl to him and approached Anderson. "And aren't you just the cutest." The woman pinched Anderson's cheeks. "A pumpkin! I love pumpkins. For that you get a special chocolate." The man just chuckled and put candies in their sacks and Aaron's pillowcase. He raised his brow and Aaron smiled sheepishly. The woman went inside and came out holding a small red box. She dropped the box on Anderson's candy carrier. Anderson's cheeks were pinched one last time and they were sent on their way.

Pretty much the same thing happens in every house that they rang. They say 'trick or treat', they get candy, Anderson was always cooed at, and after the owners had their fill of him, they say thank you and moved along. "Looks like someone's turning out to be a ladies' man." Aaron bent and wiggled his eyebrows at Anderson. Anderson looked questioningly at Aaron. "Whatsa wadies man?" Elisar frowned at this and shot Aaron a glare. Judging from the words, Elisar knew what it meant. "Aww, are you jealous, Elisar?" Elisar blushed. Aaron saw this and he burst out laughing, much to Elisar's chagrin. Hannah came to his rescue. "Shut up, Aaron. At least Elisar doesn't put cornstarch inside his socks."
"I don't put cornstarch inside my socks."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too!"
"Do not!"
"Do too!"
"Really, then where's the evidence?"
"I saw mama and papa in the laundry room. Papa was laughing and mama look like she might throw up. And mama is holding a sock with Spiderman on it. You're the only one with socks like that." They stopped walking and Elisar looked at Aaron. Aaron's eyes are wide and he's faced looked pale. He dropped his pillowcase and the candy inside spilled out on the sidewalk. He turned to look at his sister. "W-what?" Hannah had her arms akimbo and is smiling smugly. "I asked them what is going on and papa said that you were putting wet cornstarch inside your socks. Mama looks really angry." Aaron is blushing so hard that his face looks like a tomato. He started pacing in front of them muttering something. "Oh God, kill me now." Even after he teased him, Elisar worry for the older boy. "Why are you putting cornstarch inside your socks?" Curiosity took over Elisar. Aaron looked at them as if noticing them for the first time. "Well, it's uhm just uhm stuff that we uh, you know what you'll be doing it when you're older. So on to the next house!" He dropped to his knees and started scooping the spilled candy. He put all of it inside his pillowcase. He furrowed his eyebrows and searched inside his pillowcase. He pulled out three chocolate bars from it. "Tell you what, you keep quiet about this and I'll give you each one of this." Elisar looked at Hannah. They both won't pass up more candy. So they nodded. He gave them the chocolates and Anderson cheered upon accepting the treat. "So where to now?"
"It's already 7:00. Mother said to go to the park when it's already seven." Elisar said while looking at his watch. They all started walking to the park. Upon entry, lanterns can be seen hanging from the bare branches of the trees. The bases of the trees were decorated with jack-o'-lanterns. Fake skeletons and grim reapers hung from the wires tied on light poles. Tables were set up and families occupy each one. Aaron went to his friends and left them. Elisar looked for his parents weaving between the crowd holding Anderson's hand. Hannah went with them and is looking for her own parents. "I see them, Elisar!" Hannah grabbed his hand and pulled him. They ran beside the make shift stage and stopped in front of their parents. From the looks of it, they were talking about something and they just interrupted. "Ah, are this your children?" Elisar looked at the man who spoke. He has a long nose, a moustache, and gray hair. He's also wearing glasses. Idun cleared her throat and directed her gaze to them. "Children, this is Mr. Weselton. He is a friend of my father." Weaseltown? He knelt down in front of him and Hannah. "Ah look at you, my boy. It feels like only yesterday that you where only an infant. You have grown so fast."
"Hello, sir." Elisar is afraid to mispronounce the man's surname. "Hello." Hannah followed his example. The man smiled then his gaze dropped. "Now what do we have here? Looks like a case of puppy love." Elisar looked down on his hands intertwined with Hannah's. They quickly let go of each other's hands. Elisar can feel his cheeks heat up. The man laughed. He stood up and looked at their parents. "Do I here wedding bells?" Elisar saw his mother's eyes widen at the question. "Aren't they too young for this?"
Mr. Westergard laughed. "I think I like that. What say you, Agnar?" His father slowly sipped his drink before answering. "I agree with my wife here. I'll let Elisar marry who he wants. Besides, it's the modern age. Arranged marriages are too old of a custom." Mr. Westergard just shrugged his shoulders. Mr. Weselton faced Agnar and bowed his head. "Forgive me for suggesting such a thing. I thought it is already arranged. After all, it's not everyday that you see two powerful families unite." Idun approached both him and Anderson and directed them to their table. Mrs. Westergard did the same with Hannah.

They let the men talk. Elisar looked a crossed Hannah seated in her family's table. Marriage? But Hannah is his friend. He can't marry his friend! Besides girls have cooties. His attention was stolen by someone announcing the games. Elisar stood up with the other children and they walked to the field where the games are being held. He participated in every game held for his age. The thought of Hannah and weddings were replaced with thoughts of winning and the cheering of adults. He won two games and received more candy. He dashed towards his parents and presented them his prizes. His father ruffled his hair while his mother smiled and congratulated him.
The food was served. Elisar and Anderson recounted their earlier activity. He let Anderson do most of the talking. "There was this house and this wady gave me a biiig chocolate bar, and and..." Elisar just smiled and started on his dessert. Just then a scream was heard from their nearby table. Elisar whipped his head and saw Mr. Weselton's hair on fire. One of the waiters dumped water on Mr. Weselton's hair and it fell off. Children started laughing and giggling. The teenagers guffawed and some of the adults joined in.
"Mr. Weaweltown wooks angry." Anderson said with a small voice. He saw his father chuckling and his mother shaking her head. Elisar can't help it. He laughed at the old man's misfortune.
"Insolent rascals! When I get my hands on those deviants, I will- ack!" He slipped on the mud beneath him. The laughter was renewed. He quickly stood up and stomped out if the party followed by two men. The laughter died down and the guest proceeded to eat. Elisar went back to his pumpkin pie. The evening went on without any more incidents. After the plates were cleared, the guests thanked their host and went on their merry way.

Elisar and his family walked all the way back to their home. Kai and Gerda welcomed them at the entrance. He quickly went upstairs to his and Anderson's room. He hid his candies inside his closet and proceeded to get ready for bed. After brushing his teeth, her mother entered with his brother and a set of clean pajamas. He went back in the room and settled in for a bedtime story. After waiting for an eternity, his mother came out with his brother also wearing pajamas. "Stowy!" Anderson said enthusiastically as his mother sat him beside Elisar. Elisar is not ashamed to admit that he still listens to bedtime stories.
"Alright what would it be tonight? Idun searched the bookshelf. Her hand landed on a book with a blue cover. "How about Jack Frost?" Elisar yawned. He's more tired than he thought. As his mother started reading, he dealt his eyes drooping. He tried to listen but her voice seemed so far away. He fought sleep but try as he could, it won.
He dreamed of Jack Frost flying with his staff. But instead of a boy it was a girl with long hair and very blue eyes. She took his hands and they set off.
AN: I know it's shorter than the last chapter. Yes, I can't help about the masturbation bodge on this chapter. Sorry if that unsettles you. Oh Helsa and HiJack will still happen but don't worry it would still be Jelsa at the end. I hope that doesn't discourage you from reading this story. Please leave a review. Constructive criticism is always welcomed. Up next is Jacqueline with her take in crushes.
