A/N: Welcome back to Strawberry Thief! You guys are always a great audience! Now Guest asked if Anna would be turned into a fruit vampire, but I don't want to spoil the future. Everything will be explained throughout the story.
I don't own Frozen, the characters, or Indiana, read on my wayward readers!
Christmas was only two weeks away, and Anna could not have been happier. Amelia would be back in Arendelle by later tonight, and Fawn was coming over to help with the interior decorating. Her parents would not here for Christmas this year, they opted to take a cruise instead. Anna was happy for them, and even considered taking a cruise sometime in her life. But that would be later on, her present currently needed her. She walking along the snowy streets of Arendelle. Winter had come in later November and the snow had piled up quickly. But thanks to the snow plows, everyone was able to drive more safely, and Anna could make it to work without having to worry, too much, about sliding off the road.
"Oh, tis the season!" Anna sang as she walked into a familiar chocolate shop. She had picked up a special order of chocolate for Elsa, it was one of her gifts. A small one at that. But it wouldn't be her main gift. That was her current dilemma. She had toyed with several ideas in her mind. But nothing seemed good enough.
Her chipper mood fell just a little as she entered the pet store. She was getting Copper a present too. Fawn had already been shopped for, and Amelia was easy enough to please. She had a strong love for tea and Snow White's apple pies, so she called the kind woman and requested a lovely pie to be made on Christmas day, if she was able. And she was. So Amelia was taken care of. Elsa was the only one left.
"I wish I knew what she wanted for Christmas" she sighed as she passed the rodent section of the pet store.
"I think I can help there" a happy voice said. Anna jumped, clutching her chest in fear. She turned to see Fawn standing there, an ever present smile on her face.
"F-Fawn? What the heck are you doing here?" Anna asked clearly surprised to see the zoo keeper.
"I was actually visiting a friend of mine in the aquarium section, haven't seen her in a decade" Fawn laughed as if this were a casual thing before letting out a relaxed sigh.
"Right, so you can help me?" Anna asked curiously. Fawn nodded,
"Sure thing, walk with me pal, we have a lot to discuss" Fawn said wrapping a short, lightly tanned arm around Anna's waist and pulling her close.
Anna happily skipped into her home, several bags in hand, humming her favorite Christmas song.
"Oh that Fawn, such a life saver!" Anna giggled happily she skipped into the kitchen and slid a few things into the freezer including Elsa's special chocolate. After talking to Fawn, getting Elsa's perfect gift was a cinch. In fact it didn't even have a price tag. Fawn's suggested that she fess up to Elsa and just tell her how she felt. And while Anna had thought of it before, she had a small doubt in the back of her mind. But Fawn had convinced her to look past the doubt and go for it. So now everything was perfect!
Now, she had hidden in the hall closet under every towel, and bed sheet she owned. Elsa was being unusually snoopy these days. Copper came bounding down the hall barking happily that his master was home. She knelt down and pet him before getting back up.
"Okay, now that all of that is done, I can finish decorating the living room" Anna grinned before making a few steps to the right and making an immediate left. There, she was met with an explosion of colors. The walls, pictures, and wall fixtures were framed by garland of every color. There was a Christmas tree in the corner, and it made the living room smell like pine. However the tree was frosted, curtesy of Elsa, upon Anna's request. The tree was decorated with all kinds of ornaments and lights, none that matched. But there was one thing she had yet to hang, a small bushel of mistletoe. She had received it after donating money to charity a few days back. She found it odd, but she knew she could use this to her advantage.
"Can't hang it up just yet. That will have to wait until the party on Christmas Eve." Anna said to herself. She picked back up on her humming and traveled to the kitchen to pick up a few cherries. They were way out of season, but she was able to snag the last bag at the store. She munched on those and chose to go lounge on her bed for a while. Upon reaching and entering her room, she was met with a sleeping Elsa, taking up half of the bed. Anna noticed that Elsa was doing that more often. Instead of sleeping in the closet, she would sleep in her bed. A shame too, she had at least three more closet jokes to tell Elsa.
"At least she's sleeping on the other side instead of mine." Anna mumbled as she approached the bed. She didn't mind lying in bed with Elsa, they had done it before, a few times in fact. And they would just talk, joke around, and of course Elsa would always make up a dirty joke for her, and Anna would either hide her face in the pillow or throw said pillow at the vampire. Even now, as she laid beside her, she remembered those mornings, or early evenings. Just being herself, and Elsa herself. And she couldn't help but wish for those days to happen more often. She turned her head to look at Elsa. She was facing her, her blonde hair somehow still in place, aside from a few strands. And she looked relaxed, peaceful even.
After a moment of appreciating the sleeping beauty, she turned her sights to the ceiling. Thought of how she would confess to Elsa started to line up in her mind. And while she thought of that, she failed to notice Elsa shifting in the bed. Moving closer to Anna's form. Anna didn't notice until she felt an unfamiliar weight on her stomach. She craned her neck down, and blinked in surprise, but a small smile followed shortly after. Elsa had moved her head onto Anna's stomach, but she was facing the other way. And she didn't know what possessed her to do it, but Anna reached out and stroked the hair on Elsa's scalp. She marveled at the smooth texture. How easily the fingers ran through the thick mane. She continued this act until Elsa produced a low purr like sound. Anna bit her lower lip to keep the oncoming giggle down.
"I didn't know vampires could purr, how cute" Anna thought fondly. She continued on with the hair stroking and Elsa continued purring like a happy kitten. Until Anna caught an out of place snag, and that innocent purr, turned into a not so innocent stifled moan. Anna froze in her actions and a small pink tinge flooded her face. But after a small thought, a wicked smirk played on to her lips, one that could match Elsa's on a good day.
"I could definitely use this in the future" Anna thought before carefully extracting her fingers. But she did not move Elsa. It felt like an unspoken rule. Like if your pet fell asleep on you, you don't move or wake them up, plain and simple. So now she would have to endure a hot blonde sleeping on her stomach.
When the evening rolled in, there was a knock on the door. Anna, who was watching an old Christmas movie with Elsa, gasped happily before scrambling off the couch and making a rush for the door. She swung it open and was met with her best friend, still in uniform.
"Anna! So good to see you again love!" Amelia said as she put her bag down and pulled her shorter friend into a hug. Anna returned it with much enthusiasm. She had missed Amelia over the course of the few months.
"Please come in!" Anna laughed happily as she happily gestured her best friend inside.
"Thank you love, so tell me, what I missed during my absence?" Amelia asked as she was led back to the living room, where Elsa was sitting with a noticeable pout. However it shifted into a stiff, guarded look when she saw Amelia.
Ah, Miss Menzel! Glad to see you're still around" Amelia said with a great amount of sincerity. Elsa was decent enough at reading tones and body language, aside from Anna's hers was always all over the place. But she knew Amelia meant her words. Too bad the sentiment was not returned.
"Ah, Naval Captain, I missed you" Elsa said half-heartedly. But she did not smile. And for one reason or another Amelia narrowed her eyes in question before grinning knowingly and giving a small chuckle. Elsa was not pleased by the small action and she glared lightly, not wanting to upset Anna.
"Anna love, may I speak with you for just a moment" Amelia asked. Anna agreed, but there was a look of confusion on her face and a look of irritation on the blonde's. So the two left for Anna's room. As soon as the door closed, the military woman gave off a wide smile.
"She is a pouty one isn't she?" Amelia asked and Anna rolled her eyes with a smile,
"I think it's cute" Anna giggled.
"So, have you told her yet? You said you would" Amelia said. This made Anna pull at one of her braids sheepishly,
"Well, no I haven't just yet. But I plan to at the party in two weeks" Anna promised.
"I hope so, and please do it for my sake, every time I come over she gives me the most dangerous looks, I believe she thinks I'm competition or some nonsense like that" Amelia sighed.
"I've noticed, trust me. But no one can compete with her, just don't tell her I said that, she'll get a big head" Anna snorted. Then the two shared another laugh before heading back to the living room. Where Elsa still sat with a pout. The two rolled their eyes before heading to the couch. They would finish the movie together, however Elsa was quick to sit between the two and lean more closely to Anna. The red head smiled. She tended to be possessive too. But Anna didn't mind. Not at all.
Finally it was the morning of Christmas Eve. And it was also the morning of Anna's little Christmas party. She woke up feeling excited and apprehensive. She was excited that today was the Christmas party and she was finally going to confess to Elsa in a plan that took her three days to come up with. But she was apprehensive too because, well, for the exact same reason. And as she hopped out of bed and picked out an outfit, her thoughts began to consist of scenarios. Some were good, but others, not so much.
The party was starting to die down and all her guests were going to settle down for the night. They were staying overnight, and Elsa had offered to help Anna clean up the mess from the festivities.
"Thanks for helping Elsa, but I could have done this" Anna smiled as she and Elsa walked into the kitchen to throw away some trash and put the leftover food in the fridge.
"Now why would ever let such a cute strawberry do all of this alone?" Elsa flirted with her signature smirk as she spun Anna around suddenly and pulled the slightly shorter woman, by the hips, into her colder form. Anna blushed. Elsa removed her left arm and twirled it up towards the ceiling. Anna watched in awe as a glassy ice ribbon fluttered down until it was about two feet above them. It stopped until a small bushel of ice mistletoe appeared.
"Look at that, I believe there is a tradition for this little plant?" she asked even though she knew the answer already. And poor Anna, who was blushing more deeply, nodded wordlessly.
"Well, it would be . . . such a waste to not indulge would it not?" Elsa asked as she used her free hand to gently grab Anna's chin and make her look at her. Anna, whose heart was practically beating out of her chest nodded again.
"Wonderful, I was wondering if you tasted as good as you smelled" Elsa purred before claiming Anna's lips. Obviously becoming the more dominate of the two. The blonde sliding her clawed fingers down Anna's trembling frame and settling them on her behind and squeezing roughly, making the smaller woman moan slightly.
"Whoa now! Okay no more Fanfiction before bed" Anna said as her face flushed. But the scenario was rather appealing to her.
"It's a little early for those" she laughed before pulling at the collar of her shirt.
"Early for what?" a voice asked with teasing intrigue and Anna froze,
"H-Hey Elsa-ah! Oh my gosh" Anna said nervously before letting out a small squeak. She turned about thirty degrees to her right. And there, standing in nothing but a big red lace that wound around her body like a sexy candy cane with a neatly tied bow around her chest, was Elsa. The lace itself barely hid anything, so Anna was seeing just about everything Elsa had to offer.
"Merry Christmas Eve Anna" Elsa purred seductively as she sauntered over to Anna, her hips ever swaying. Anna couldn't say a word. This was too much.
"I know you're supposed to open your presents on Christmas day, but I think you can make one exception hmm?" Elsa asked with a raspy voice. Anna was stock still and red in the face, she didn't know what to do.
"Come on, you can open your present" Elsa husked. Just as Anna was about to raise a hand, everything was enveloped in darkness and Anna shot up from her place in bed. She was panting and searching her room, then patting her upper body. When she finally calmed down she flopped back down with a groan.
"It was only a dream, again" the red head sighed. She turned to her alarm clock, it was six in the morning, an hour before her alarm was supposed to go off. But it was Christmas Eve, and today was the day Anna would confess to the flirtatious blonde. Anna shifted her legs and groaned again. But before she could do that, a shower was in order.
"This is gonna be a long day"
