Ready! Set! ELSANNA!
Elsa lay on the floor of her new room, hair strewed all over the place. It had been her first day there and her emotions were already running out of hand, she had absolutely no idea how she'd be able to continue like this.
Every time she saw that strawberry colored hair, cute splashes of freckles or just an inch of her fair complexion, Elsa's heart would begin to hammer, her eyes would immediately focus on Anna regardless of the time and place.
"It's almost like the urge to close their eyes when one is really tired, except for the fact that the desire is to gaze at her and take in all of her glorious image." Elsa thought.
"Anna." She whispered. The name rolled of her tongue like honey. Yes, this was the lady that had infatuated her, made the usually calm and composed butler have an internal argument between rationalized actions or emotional impulsiveness, in the latter's case which would be to wrap herself around the bubbly and innocent girl and lay chaste kisses on her clear and unblemished skin.
"Maybe her sternum, or her neck, It doesn't matter which." Blushing she suddenly realize that it was for the first time in forever, she had felt her emotions directed so fiercely toward someone.
"So this is what love feels like." How she want to feel those soft, soft lips against her own, smell the faint scent of lavender surrounding her and hear the tinkling chimes of her laughter.
"But I cannot." She sighed somberly "My destined role is to be her butler. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course, if she were to ask me to be her…No that'll never happen." Her usual rational self came back, snapping the fantasy in half.
Sighing in her crushed fantasy, she took out the notes she had made today which includes a map of the house, she had been very precise with the map carefully labeling each and every room depending on their functions, she wasn't surprise to see that at least half of them are vacant. Her wintery eyes finally settling back on the location of her room.
"Right beside the leisure and entertainment room, and… Anna's room." Anna had decided to put her next to her own bedroom with a light smile. "I want you close to me," she had said, little did she know how much pain this sentence had put her butler through. "So close yet so far…" Elsa thought, her head lying against the ivory door connecting both of their rooms together; she could just hear the faint sweeping of paint brush against canvas and the occasional murmurs from Anna.
Elsa could just imagine her now, clad in her loosely fitted nightgown and a painting apron which complements her curvaceous torso, Anna would be biting her full, inviting lips as she always did whenever she was puzzled or worried and finally, her shining turquoise eyes scrutinizing the canvas, searching for mistakes or wondering if the color was right.
"Unrequited love never ends well." Muttered Elsa and she knew the best way for her to get over Anna would be to lock her emotions in a cage of ice, preventing any of them from coming out again. "But I don't want to stop loving her." She argued with herself. "It's rapturous when I am allowed stand next to her, just being able to exchange a few words with her, to see her flaming scarlet hair against the light, her smile and hear her laughter. She is the very representative of joy and happiness, of everything good and beautiful.
"Yet at the same time it's as if I am dying and my heart is crushed and mauled every time I see her, knowing that I'll never be able to hold her, never be able to taste those beautiful lips against my own." Tears begun to flow from her sharp blue eyes as she stepped away from the door, she moved to wiped them away, yet the pain and salty stings of her tears remained.
Morning came as it always did and Elsa woke up with last night's pain still etched upon her, quickly she put on her usual suit, she went and prepared breakfast for Anna. In her mind she was already planning on what type of breakfast should she cook up.
"Maybe something chocolate. A cake might do fine?" She mused to herself, Elsa had prepared herself overnight for the emotional swings that she might have, holding her emotions in check and adopting her cold and polite demeanor once more.
She had quickly walked down to the kitchen to find some ingredients for making a cake, she searched every cupboard in the entire kitchen, remembering that flour and other cooking material are usually kept in a dry place, Finding none she tried the gigantic refrigerator standing at the edge of the room only to find it filled up with pancakes and chocolate syrups.
"Looks like you found my storage of sustenance." A light giggle came up from behind her. Knowing the owner of that melodic and cheerful voice Elsa immediately twirled around at the voice and in her heart she was already feverishly repeating "Conceal, conceal, conceal, don't let her know," in her heart.
Yet at the sight of those lovely teal eyes, that fall of molten copper, the resistance she'd set up crumpled, her heart melted and her eyes were drawn like a magnet over her body. Later, she suddenly realized that the pains of last night's thoughts were swept away the moment she laid eyes on the young woman.
Anna had come down as soon as she woke up; she'd never had a habit of grooming herself before she stepped out from her bedroom, so naturally her hair looked like it had been electrocuted. They sprang up in every direction possible fanning out like the plums of a peafowl.
However Elsa's attention was not focused on the hazard that was basically Anna's hair, but on her shoulder blades that had slid out from her almost scandalous nightgown, it had slipped down until it had revealed the edges of her perfectly sized mounds, that sight alone would have made Elsa swooned had she not grab hold of the refrigerator door. If anything, last night's event had only made her more vulnerable against Anna's beauty, succumable to her charms.
"Permission to speak as an equal?" she asked Anna in her shaking voice. Please don't notice my voice shaking. Or my staring. Elsa begged in her mind. Anna however was oblivious to all of Elsa's reaction except for the faint blush that spread from her butler's cheeks. It had started like the palest of roses blooming and blossoming on Elsa's cheeks, and then spreading like a wild fire across her face.
Dragging her eyes away from Elsa's comely cheeks, Anna squeaked, "Yeah, sure, actually can you please start speaking like a friend instead of a butler? I like it so much better when you speak casually, actually when you speak formally it sounds kind of awkward. Not you're awkward, but just 'cause we're–I'm awkward. You're gorgeous. Wait, what?"
Upon hearing "You're gorgeous." Elsa's breathing became rapid, lights flash across her eyes and an entire horde of butterfly danced in the butler's stomach as she slid down the front of the fridge, she last saw Anna rushing towards her worryingly asking if she is all right. But Elsa's heart throbbed like never before, her yearning for Anna increased to a new height, she wanted crush those lips against her own, take in all of her scent and feel Anna's warmth against her.
When Anna watched as Elsa sank against the refrigerator, her mind was already panicking "Was it something I said, or was it my hair?" Anna never thought that her hair could have such effect on people.
"Duh, your morning hair can basically clear away an entire army. It is probably ranked the second most destructive weapon in the entire world next to Merida's." laughed her conscience, referring to her frizzled hair friend, who's blazing mane would just refuse to be tamed.
"What if it's something I Said, Was I being weird? The only thing I said was gorg… Ohhhhhh." A sense of realization came over Anna, Is it possible…
"I am going to try something out." Anna told her conscience; mentally she was already preparing herself for the endeavor. Tying her hair back into a ponytail, she kneel down next to Elsa and cupped her cheeks in her hands. The butler's cheek immediately begun to blossom once more and her breathing came in rapid gasps, arctic eyes focused on Anna.
"Are you alright?" Anna asked huskily, her voice melodious and low. "Nice try, you sound totally seductive." Her conscience complemented her sarcastically. Ignoring her annoying guide, Anna continued, leaning in closer "I could take you back to your bed if you want." Anna was mere inches away from Elsa's lips and one little nudge would all it'll take for their lips to meet.
Anna maintained her position, her eyes hungrily devouring Elsa's image, She could smell the Elsa's scent sweet and aromatic, but not to the point of overwhelming, it reminded her of chocolate and maple syrups. Elsa's porcelain skin, now rosy red was inviting and bewitching, Anna suddenly found herself leaning in and planting a small peck on Elsa's cheeks. That brief moment of contact was already enough for Anna to feel the suppleness of Elsa's skin, Anna had the urge to lean in once more but she held herself. "You'll be having much more kisses if you got this right." She thought suggestively.
For a moment nothing happened, The quite suddenly Elsa gave a shocked little yelp and immediately respond to Anna's long overdue questions, "Yes, I am alright, thank you for your concern and No, I don't need to be taken to bed. I'll just go prepare breakfast now." Elsa finished breathlessly almost gasping for air, already she had pulled out the pancakes and the bottle of chocolate syrup, feverishly preparing breakfast for Anna, the redness in her cheeks still visible in the morning sun.
Anna stood there with a small smile playing on her face, she watched as Elsa frantically prepare breakfast, She had seen enough and Elsa's response was exactly as she wanted, "Well then, looks like I'll be waiting for breakfast outside. Don't come out until you've made your own share, I haven't eat breakfast with anyone for a long time." Her voice barely containing the surge of excitement and giddiness in her. Anna slowly sashayed her way out, making sure that she was in Elsa's line of sight. Even with her back turned she can feel the butler's hungry gaze glued on her hips.
The moment Anna turned around the corner, she was already skipping and jumping, screaming out voiceless yells of triumph. She was sure which way Elsa's proclivities leant now; all she had to do was to break the ice. "Then she'll finally be mine, and I her's." Anna thought lovingly, caressing an imaginary Elsa against her.
Suddenly a phone rang in the dining room; it took a moment fro Anna break out of her fantasy and grab the phone. "Hello, cousin of mine how you are you doing?" An overly excited voice rang the phone, "Punzie, aren't you suppose to be…" trailing off, Anna glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall beside her, A red spot marking May, 16th "But that's today." Anna exclaimed. "I forgot about the party, I Didn't even prepares anything yet."
"Relax cousin." Rapunzel answered her, short brown her waving in the wind, around her sat the rest of Anna's friends. "We've brought half of our kitchen here because we all know the only food you have in your house are pancakes." Referring to their last experience at Anna's house. " There's tenderloin, a dozen packets of fettuccini, onions, enough ingredients to make mixed mushroom sauce for all of us, that'll be our lunch for today. For dinner we've bought barbeque stuff for dinner. Eugene, didn't I tell you to put your Gadgets in another bag?" Rapunzel suddenly shouted at the background.
Anna could just hear Eugene Fitzherberg faintly reply, "Sorry dear, I can't find a spare bag. So I was forced to put them there, now please let me concentrate on driving unless you guys want to die a horrible gruesome death." Suddenly he deepen his voice and begun to imitate the new reporter "News Flash: Bus explodes after connecting with garden ornament. Please I am serious can you guys just quiet down? That singing is getting on my nerves." He complained in his normal voice.
"We all know you don't sing Eugene, or are you just jealous of my beautiful voice?" A girl's taunting voice came from the background.
"Anyways, I think We'll be there within the hour, I sincerely hope that you've got a new chef, because I have been cooking for the last several times already." Rapunzel cheerfully replied, "We'll see you when we get there." The line was cut before Anna was even able to tell her about Elsa.
"I take it that there'll be a party in the house within one hour?" a collected voice behind her asked. Anna whirled around and found Elsa standing there, a slightly amused look upon her face, in her gloved hands gently supporting a dish with their breakfast stacked upon it.
"I can't believe I forgot about it, and apparently my cousin doesn't want to cook so…" She looked questioningly at Elsa. "To be able to demonstrate my cooking skills would be the utmost honor." Replied Elsa with a light bow.
That small gesture had caused Anna to frown, she'd found a way to pass the barrier of not knowing whether Elsa prefer girls or not, but now a locked door stood before her and Elsa, and that door is named "Status". That door had stopped any type of relationship from forming and Anna is determined to break that door down if needed.
