Well, this is it. The final chapter of this short and simple story. I originally planned for it to be longer, but the more I thought about the future planned chapters, the thing just started to lose focus. So it came down to either short and sweet, or drown out and un-focused. I think the first one was the way to go.
HOWEVER! I might have some ideas for the future of this universe... but more on that later. Hope you will enjoy!
When Elsa entered her home, her parents weren't quite as questionable as she thought they will be about a boy coming over and asking her if she wants to go for a walk with him. They just asked how she knows him and she replied that she met him one day during National Service; she wasn't going to complain once they didn't ask any further questions and simply dissmissed her to go to her room, even if it was un-characteristic for them.
Anna, however, knew who Jack was and how Elsa really knew him, and as soon as the elder sister set foot in their bedroom, Anna interrogated her older sibling for information about their walk. Or as Anna called it once Elsa entered their room, their date.
"It wasn't a date!" Elsa quickly hissed at her, making sure her parents won't hear the conversation and go nuts over the idea of Elsa dating even though she knows it's forbidden, unless marrige is involved.
"Then why did you kiss his cheek?" Anna asked with a smug smile on her face, while Elsa's eyes grew a few inches because of the shock.
"You saw that?" She asked, her cheeks starting to burn a little and she started to face down.
"My older, "religious", sister went out and hung out with a guy for the first time in… I don't know, forever? And a guy she met only a night before in a night club? I needed to see where this was going once he brought her back home." Anna finished her explanation, giving her sister a warm smile and a shrug once she finished her explaination.
Elsa was in a loss for words once Anna told her that she saw how her meeting with Jack ended. "Well, you always kiss boys on the cheek whenever you are saying goodbye to them or meet them, and you have a boyfriend." She said in her defense.
"Here is the thing…" Anna pointed out. "I'm not what you will call a "Full-On Religious" therefor; this kind of behavior doesn't cause much suspicion. You, on the other hand, are 100 percent religious. So, when you do something like this, it's usually a sign of you dating said boy."
"Who made you the religious dating master?" Elsa asked, finding herself amused with her sister's analysis of the situation.
"I did." Anna smirked when she saw her sister smiling.
The elder girl could just roll her eyes. "Well, think whatever you want, it was nothing. I'm not even sure what came over me…" Elsa stated. "I just felt like I needed to thank him for the good time we had because I was having fun and… that's what I came up with." She threw her hands up in the air.
"Couldn't you just give him a hug?" Anna asked. "I'm not judging you, if that's what you're wondering, I'm just curios."
"I don't know…" was the reply. "Look, Anna. Whatever you do, please don't tell anyone about this. If mom and dad find out…" Elsa started to say before Anna cut her off.
"Don't worry." She said while putting two comforting hands on Elsa's shoulders. "It's a secret between sisters." Anna smiled with mere seconds to spare before Elsa hugged her in gratitude. Once the sisters broke their hug, Anna spoke up again. "And now, I have something to blackmail you with." She said with an evil smirk. "I want you to do all of my homework, clean my side of the room as well as yours and also…"
Anna was stopped when the pillow Elsa threw at her collided with her face, much to Elsa's amusement.
After the two sisters were done laughing at Anna getting hit by the pillow, they started to get ready for bed, seeing how it was almost time for them to go to sleep. Once they were both in their beds and made sure their parents weren't in hearing sight, Anna brought the subject of Jack upf again. "So, what are you going to do with Jack?"
"I don't know…" She said, not sure what she thinks about the entire situation at the moment. She knew that she at least liked him, as he was fun to be around and talk to, but she wasn't sure how much she liked him. "I gave him my phone number, so we are officially friends; I'll have to wait and see how it goes from there."
"Are you actually considering this to be going somewhere beyond friends?" Anna asked, causing Elsa to blush a little.
"I… am not really sure." She said. "I know the guy for exactly one day… and let's not mention that a relationship with a girl like me pretty much requires him to marry me at some point, and I don't want him, nor me, to make such a huge commitment at the moment." Elsa answered, not exactly sure on what she thinks about the situation.
"You don't have to commit to anyhting if mom and dad won't know about that." Anna objected. "If you feel like you want to try this out with him at any point, I will cover for you in front of mom and dad. That way you don't have to be afraid, and both of you won't have to make big commitments, unless you two will be ready." She told Elsa, reassuring her that whatever her older sister will choose to do, she will be there to support her.
"Did I already tell you that I couldn't ask for a better sister than you?" Elsa asked Anna with a big smile, knowing that at least her sister will support her no matter what.
"Not in recent memory…" Anna teased. "But probably at some point in the past."
Just before Elsa could have completed another eye roll, she received a text. She unplugged her phone from the charger close to the bed in order to see who texted her.
"Hey, it's Jack. Just sending a text so you could add my number to your contacts, and to also tell you that I had a really good time today." It said, causing Elsa to smile.
"Who's that?" Anna asked from her bed, which was located on the other side of the room.
"Jack." Elsa answered. In less than a second, Anna blasted off in the direction of Elsa's bed, and leaned over in order to look at the text.
"What did he write? What did he write? What did he write? What did he write?" She asked in such a fast pace, Elsa didn't even know the girl could talk that fast without tripping over words.
"He just sent a text so that I could add him to my contacts."
Anna frowned at this. "You two are boring so far…" She said before returning to her bed.
Elsa chuckled at her sister's behavior and returned to text Jack. "I added you now. I had a great time too." When she was about to plug her phone again, it rang. Elsa looked at her phone and was surprised to see Merida's name, along with their picture during one of their trips, on the screen.
"Elsa, listen…" Merida said before she even gave Elsa a chance to talk. "In the marning, aboot ten Ah think, Jack frem yesterday called me. He foond ma number through Hiccup and Astrid, and he asked me fer yer address. Ah was sa sleepy and un-facosed sa that Ah accidently gave it ta him. If he shaws up at yer house, Ah am sarry in advance." She quickly said.
"Um… Merida. He already came over and left." Elsa told her, she could hear her red-head friend gasp on the other side. "It's okay though, he was fun to hang out with. So, thank you, Merida."
Merida was shocked when Elsa thanked her for giving away her address to someone they just met last night, but she wasn't going to complain. "Na problem then… Ah'll see ye tamorraw." She said before hanging up.
With that little bit of amusement accruing, Elsa giggled to herself before retiring to sleep. Somewhat waiting to see what the next week is going to bring her, after that out of the ordinary.
By the time the next weekend arrived, Jack and Hiccup have technically finished their service at the army. Whenever a soldier was about to finish his service, he or she was given a two weeks' vacation before actually finishing their service, and the two friends were happy to have at last reach this point. All they had to do now, was enjoy the said vacation, and by the next Sunday afternoon they will be able to call themselves actual Israeli citizens.
When the pair arrived at the train station that Tuesday, they noticed Astrid was waiting for them, like usual, but Elsa was also there. Jack was surprised to see her there, but he wasn't complaining. Throughout the week, whether during slow mornings or sleepless nights, the two texted each other as a means of killing time. Each and every night was the same deal and they were texting each other until a very late hour. The constant vibrating sounds of their phones, along with the few giggles at funny texts, or gasps at shocking and surprising ones, drove whoever was in their room insane; either Anna and Meirda for Elsa, or Hiccup and the rest of the unit for Jack.
The two spent more time together during that weekend, alongside their friends of course. Jack even invited Elsa to the celebration made in honor of Hiccup and him finishing their service at the army, when the date was soon to come. That was when Elsa also got to meet his mother and little sister.
While Elsa still had some National Service jobs to attend, Jack got a lot of free time and he would usually use days when Elsa wasn't working to spend time with her. The texting sessions during the night were also a recurring theme for them, no matter where she slept.
After a few months of spending time with him, Elsa felt that was it. She liked him. REALLY liked him. She has decided that she will ask him if he is ready to give this entire thing a shot. A secret relationship from her parents which won't force marriage upon him. One day, when they were both at the same place and not just texting each other, she asked him if he would agree to this. He responded by lightly kissing her. It wasn't long, lasting only a second if one were to time it, but it didn't leave room for speculation. He liked her back and he wanted to try and be her boyfriend.
And who knows? Maybe it will even end in a wedding…
THE END
So there you go! Open yet hopeful ending. So, regarding what I said about this not being the final word for this story; I'm thinking about making a drabbles sequel. You know? Like a collection of one-shots being set in this universe. I have a few ideas but I don't know how fast that will come as I have other stuff I'm working on right now. It will come though! Never fear!
But, as of now, this story is done. I had a lot of fun writing this one, and I had tons more fun seeing every one of you reviewing, following, favoriting and also enjoying this story! Those weren't just complements to me as a writer, those were also complements to Israel, and if I managed to get that than I'm happy. Long Live Israel!
Before I wrap up, I would like to share one more trivia with you. If you're a Jelsa shipper(And let's face it, if you aren't you wouldn't have read this), you will be happy to hear that the Hebrew voice actors for Jack and Elsa are actually married in real life! You see? Israel indorse Jelsa, most likely before it ever happened...
Thanks again for everyone who supported this! I will catch you later!
