Author's Note: FINALLY…I finally caught up. Geez…Anyway, in this particular one, they are sisters. If you noticed, I updated the summary and it says that all of these oneshots are related in a way…which will be revealed on Day 7. And I should probably also take the time to say that I don't plan for any M-rated chapters for this week, mostly because I've never actually written any smut before and I'm on a deadline so I can't mull over it, but also because…

Actually, that's the only reason why, ha-ha. I'd rather give you guys smut that I spent several days working on instead of a rushed, half-assed scene.

Either way…enjoy.


To This Day

Day 4 – No Peeking!


"Damn…another decoy," Anna grumbled to herself as she closed yet another box filled with stones of various sizes, at least having the courtesy to stuff the wrapping inside to dispose of later. It was much like receiving coal on Christmas day…except it wasn't quite as crushing compared to finding coal, and Christmas was tomorrow, not today.

And that was the problem.

"If Elsa were here, she'd tell you to watch your language," Olaf cheerfully piped up from beside her, carrying three other boxes—all decoys, as well, unfortunately. "How many other presents do you think she has lying around the castle?"

"Too many," the princess growled, standing up with the box tucked firmly under one arm. "And she didn't tell you anything about where they are?"

The snowman chuckled as they left the library to go search the other parts of the castle they hadn't checked yet, stopping by to drop off the decoy presents in the large pile they had started amassing in the gallery. "Nope! She was really secretive about it, so I think you're gonna be in for a big surprise tomorrow!"

If only tomorrow was today, instead…

But it wasn't today, and Anna found herself flopped on her bed hours later—ready for bed, and exhausted from her fruitless search. At least she had been able to spend a nice Christmas Eve dinner with Elsa after the stinker had been gone for most of the day, triple-checking on the plans for tomorrow. And of course, the queen remained tight-lipped regarding the location of her presents for the princess, blue eyes twinkling with the mischievous light Anna had missed in their 13 years of separation.

I combed every centimeter of this castle! Even in her room! And…And I know she'd never hide them in our parents' room, so…how in the world did I not find even one today?!

Anna let loose a frustrated growl, rolling onto her stomach and burying her face into the pile of pillows on her bed. No sooner had she done so, did a knock come from her door—Elsa's knock, in fact. A simple grunt was all she answered with, and the door opened with a soft 'click', followed by the swishing of fabric as her sister entered her room. There was another 'click' as the door closed, and soon enough, Anna felt the bed dip as the queen finally took a seat.

"Rough day?" she heard Elsa ask, the blonde's sweet voice a soothing balm despite being the source of her frustrations today.

"What do you think?" Anna grumbled, turning her head away from her pillow to see the amused smile on her sister's face. She tried not to enjoy it when the queen reached out to rub circles on her back, slender fingers eventually trailing up to stroke her hair.

The growing smile on Elsa's face told her that she failed. "You know you can't open your presents early, Anna. No peeking, remember?"

"But Ellllssssaaaaaa…you love me," the redhead pouted as the queen began to carefully undo her twin braids. "Doesn't that mean you should give into my wishes and tell me where my presents are?"

Elsa rolled her eyes, leaning down to press a quick kiss to Anna's forehead before sitting back up with a smile. "Of course I love you, Anna. But I'm afraid that tactic won't work on me."

"Damn it…"

"Language."

"Maybe I'll just become a sailor then," the princess sighed dramatically as her sister finished freeing her braids, allowing the curtain of copper to splay freely across her back. "I bet they don't go to ridiculous lengths to hide their presents from each other…"

The queen laughed, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair behind Anna's ear, just how she liked it. A gentle smile curled onto her lips, ice-blue eyes filled with nothing but unconditional love. "I go to ridiculous lengths because I love you, silly," Elsa murmured, stroking the redhead's cheek with feather light touches that sent her body tingling all over. "And the brilliance of your smile tomorrow morning when the wait is finally over will be completely worth it."

Anna smiled at the thought, tilting her face up expectantly. Elsa did not disappoint, swooping in to place a brief kiss on her lips, nuzzling her nose a little afterwards. It was too brief for Anna's liking, but if the blonde had lingered any longer, it would invariably lead to things that would distract her from still being somewhat frustrated with her sister.

"But I am not cruel," Elsa whispered as a small package was pressed into Anna's hand, the queen trailing airy kisses along the sun-kissed skin of her jaw. "You may hold on to one to tide you over until the morning. Only one."

The redhead's fingers curled around the present, hearing the satisfying crinkle of the wrapping paper. As much as she wanted to know its contents… "Then I choose you," Anna said as she let go of her gift to tug at the sleeve of Elsa's nightgown. "It's our first Christmas together since, well…forever. You're the only present I'd ever really want."

Elsa's smile was achingly tender, blue eyes vulnerable and nearly glowing under the light of the aurora borealis in the sky outside.

Sky's awake, Anna thought distantly as the blonde's lips met hers once more, the rest of her body quickly following suit onto the bed as hands came up to tangle into her fiery hair. They separated soon enough, but only to throw the covers over both of them and to snuggle deeper into the mattress, cuddling together. And somehow in the brief chaos, Anna's present found its way to the small space between them.

Seeing it reminded her of something.

"Since I technically shouldn't be allowed to peek at my presents…"

"Close your eyes, then," Elsa said as her forehead came to rest against hers, nose bumping, "And just let me hold you as you fall asleep."

Anna valiantly fought back a yawn, but ultimately failed. "You'll be here…when I wake up?" she asked as teal eyes slid closed. "I mean, I'll still have your gift as consolation…but it wouldn't be the same."

A kiss on her nose. "I'll be here."

"Promise…?"

She didn't need to see to know of the loving smile on Elsa's face.

"I promise."


more than you could ever know.

NEXT: Day 5 – Christmastime


Author's Note: Much shorter than usual, but…time constraints. Once I post this, I'll be in the midst of writing Day 5, but because of Christmas and family breathing down my neck to make myself useful, I will likely be behind again.

Reviews are welcome, seeing as I have no idea how I'm doing if there is no feedback.
