Sleep. That was all Elsa wanted. She hadn't slept for three days in a row because she had bee n filling out scholarship applications along with college entry forms. As much as she tried to desperately complete everything on her own, she finally broke down in tears in the early hours of the morning and begged her sister for help. She also may or may not have reverted to her old soothing technique of sucking the tip of her thumb and holding her stuffed snow leopard in her lap while she cuddled up to Ceili; allowing the older sibling singing softly and rock her gently from side to side like an infant.
It wasn't her fault. For as long as she could remember, she had always had a strange oral fixation when it came to her soothing techniques. Ceili had even told her how she would, almost quite literally, suck on anything and everything as a baby. The best story she heard from her sister was when she was maybe a year and a half old and she had found the older girl sleeping on the mattress on the floor. Apparently the infantile blonde had picked up the white haired girl's hand and thoroughly sucked each finger before falling asleep on her older sister's chest with her index finger still in her mouth.
What was the cause of this sudden remission? The main college she had set her heart on, the one Ceili had graduated from five years ago, hadn't replied to her application in over six months. She never received a rejection or acceptance letter or any form of contact from them, and she was beginning to stress about it. Finally, she called them and found out that they had completely lost her transcript and other important documents.
She had almost screamed in frustration when she found out. It had taken her three whole months to get all the information she needed to apply to the college, and they had expected her to re-apply in less than a week before the deadline was due. That was what caused her to finally give up and ask her sister for help.
Now that everything had been settled, she could sleep. That was what she was doing right now. That was what she had been doing ever since she walked through the door of Anna's house.
Sleep.
The unconscious blonde bit down on a fabric cord tickling her lip and began sucking on it, soaking the material in saliva. She was lying on top of her older sister, who was also sleeping on the Summers' couch, sucking on the drawstring to her hoodie. The older woman had lost quite a bit of sleep herself in the past week; planning a trip south in order to meet with some old college friends who had asked for her to teach at their outdoor education program for ten days.
Ceili had taken the day off in order to spend some much needed time with Elsa, Anna, and Lily over the course of her self-instated three day weekend, but once her body hit the couch, she was out. She had barely even noticed when her younger sister and her girlfriend came home from school and the blonde snuggled on top of her to take a much needed nap of her own. The only thing that would have tipped her off that her little sister was on her was the slight difficulty in breathing from having her diaphragm restricted, but who needed to breathe?
Anna stared at the two sisters passed out on her couch from the dining room with an amused grin on her face. Elsa was snuggled into her older sister's black zip up sweater as she sucked on the drawstring to the hood, and Ceili had a single arm draped over the younger girl's shoulders protectively. Both girls were breathing steadily and would twitch every once in a while as they slept. The spectacle was absolutely adorable.
The young red head quietly shuffled back into the kitchen where her mother was making dinner and sat at the kitchen table. A large yawn escaped her lips. The two Winter girls weren't the only ones who were tired.
"Are Ceili and Elsa still asleep?" Lily asked her daughter while she stirred spaghetti sauce in the pot in front of her.
"Out cold," Anna giggled. Another yawn broke free.
"I think you might need a nap too, young lady," the older woman chuckled.
"Nu-uh," the teen yawned again and rested her hand in her hand, "I'm totally awake."
Lily raised an eyebrow at the red head over her shoulder. She poured every last ounce of a mother's "Oh, really?" elixir into her gaze. It wasn't long before her daughter broke under the intense stare.
Anna blushed and smiled awkwardly. "Okay…maybe I'm a little sleepy. But it's not my fault! I was up all night trying to get this paper written for my O-A class! It's almost impossible!"
"O-A class?" Lily's voice twisted with confusion. "What is an O-A class?"
"Outdoor Adventures," Anna groaned dramatically. She let her head drop to the table and let her forehead press against the wood. "I'm doing horrible in that class. I swear; it's worse than gym class! We actually go outside and participate in weird outdoorsy sports that I've never even heard of! Most of these activities have almost killed me! I tripped over my snowshoe when we were hiking downhill and practically turned into a snowball rolling down the hill!"
A small snort escaped the brunette's nose as she tried desperately to hold back the wave of laughter. Only her daughter would make such a scene about something like an outdoor gym class. "I think you're over exaggerating a little bit, honey."
"I am not!" Anna's head snapped up. "It's a complete nightmare! We even have to write papers about these weird old guys and how they contributed to outdoor education, and write reflective essays about the activities we do! What kind of nutcase would want to do something like this for a living?"
"Your girlfriend's older sister does it for a living," Lily informed with a slight air of impatience, "or have you forgotten?"
Anna gasped as her hands flew to her braids. "I completely forgot about that!"
Lily took a tasting spoon out of the drawer and tested the sauce. "You know. I'm sure Ceili would be more than willing to help you with your paper if you asked."
"That's a great idea!" Another yawn brought tears to Anna's eyes. "After I take a short nap though…could you wake me up when dinner's done?"
"It'll be ready in about fifteen minutes, so I suggest that if you want to get some sleep you make it quick," the brunette said as she added more seasonings to the sauce.
"Done!" Anna yawned again and left the kitchen. She was halfway through the living room when the two sisters sleeping on the couch caught her eye.
She tip-toed over to the couch and gazed longingly at the two Winter girls. Elsa was sleeping soundly under Ceili's ever protecting arm. The way the older was wearing her hair in a low ponytail made her look slightly more masculine (along with the unconscious flex of her bared forearms as she slept), though she was still beautiful. It gave off the impression of a good father shielding his little princess from harm.
A twinge of jealousy fluttered through Anna's stomach. She had never felt the embrace of a protective father. Not saying that her mother's warm embrace wasn't enough, it was just that there was a difference between a mother's warm, caring, safe hug and a father's protective arms wrapped around her. Though she would never admit it out loud, she secretly wanted to be held by a fatherly figure.
"Elsa's so lucky," Anna thought to herself. "Even though Ceili is more like her mother, she can easily pull off being the protective father every girl wants…I wish I had something like that…"
She shook her head to dislodge the thought. What was she saying? It was horrible that Elsa could only feel the love of both parents from her older sister because her real father killed her mother. At least she had a mother who was alive and well who could hold her in a warm, soothing embrace that only a mom could give.
A small change in position on the couch ripped the red head from her thoughts. Ceili was wiggling her head as she moved her free hand from behind her head to hook two fingers in her belt loop. Anna realized that the older woman was wearing the seatbelt buckle style belt she had gotten her for her birthday.
The teen beamed in satisfaction knowing that Ceili actually liked her gift enough to wear it. When she had seen it at Hot Topic when she and Elsa were shopping for a gift for the older sister, she knew it would look great with every pair of her jeans. It was black and grey and had pictures from one of her favorite animes on it. She knew that it would be perfect, though her girlfriend had thought otherwise.
Another yawn escaped Anna's lips and she stared at the two sisters sleepily. Her gaze narrowed on Elsa's sleeping figure and Ceili's free arm. A warm lump suddenly appeared in her throat as a crazy idea popped into her head.
She double checked the two entries into the living room to make sure her mother wasn't around and gently kneeled down so her right knee was sitting between Ceili's legs, next to Elsa's hip. She slowly eased the white haired woman's fingers out of her belt loop and raised her arm before nestling herself into the black fabric covering the woman's torso; resting the limp arm over her shoulders once she was comfortable. A small sigh of content drifted over her lips as she inhaled the mixed scent of Elsa and her sister.
The teen froze as she felt Ceili shift beneath her. The white haired woman's leg that was between her legs slipped out from under her and propped itself up on her side next to the edge of the couch like a railing on a crib to keep her from falling off, and she felt the arm draped over her shoulders hold her gently, yet with a protective firmness that she had never felt before. She noticed that the arm wrapped around Elsa's shoulders had tightened as well.
She looked up to see Ceili smiling tiredly.
"Get some sleep, Anna," the woman yawned. "I won't judge."
Anna smiled from ear to ear as she snuggled closer to Elsa and the woman they were laying on; her fingers interlacing with the blonde's. She inhaled the scent of both women greedily and marveled at how well they complimented each other. The warmth emanating from Ceili's arm holding her tightly made her feel protected from anything and everything bad in the world; like if anything were to happen, she could just find this arm and it would protect her with all it had.
"Now I understand why Elsa enjoys cuddling with her sister so much," the red head thought as her eyes fluttered closed. Sleep overcame her almost immediately.
"Alright, you three," Lily walked out of the kitchen some time later, "dinner is ready." She stopped in the middle of the living room and smiled softly at the sight before her. Anna and Elsa were cuddled up to each other on top of her girlfriend, wrapped in the white haired woman's protective arms.
The scene was enough to make the brunette's heart melt and she wiped a tear from her eye. She pulled her phone out of her purse sitting on the coffee table and took a picture of the three girls. The smile never once leaving her face.
When she finally put her phone away, Lily walked silently up to Ceili and patted her cheek slightly. "Ceili," she whispered, "dear, wake up."
"I've been awake since Anna crawled on top of me," Ceili replied in a hushed tone. She opened her eyes and smiled up at the lavender eyed woman above her. "How's it going?"
Lily giggled silently. "It's going good. Dinner's ready. I think we should maybe wake the girls up."
Ceili sighed dramatically but smiled nonetheless. "Alrighty," she stared down at the two girls sleeping on top of her and shook them gently. "Elsa, Anna, wake up. Dinner's ready."
Elsa buried her head into her sister's bosom. "Ten more minutes, Mama."
Anna mumbled incoherently as she curled up into a ball, ramming her knee into Ceili's crotch as she did so. The white haired woman held back a cough that threatened to rip through her throat from the sudden discomfort caused by the sudden kick. It was a full minute before she was able to breathe calmly again.
Lily plastered her hand to her mouth to keep from laughing. She gently stroked her daughter's cheek and used the end of the red braid to tickle her chin. "Anna, sweetheart, it's time to wake up," she cooed. "Dinner's ready."
Anna's eyes fluttered open halfway and she pushed herself up. A stream of drool ran down her chin, leaving a dark spot on Ceili's sweater. "What? Dinner?" Her eyes widened and her stomach growled. "Dinner! Great! I'm starving!"
Once the red head leapt from the white haired woman's torso, Ceili shook her little sister's shoulder again. How the blonde had managed to stay asleep after that was a wonder. "Elsa, Snow Cub, it's time to get up."
Elsa groaned slightly as she lifted her head from her sister's chest, leaving a small spot of drool on the black fabric. She blinked against the light and rubbed her eyes. "Hmm, what's going on?"
A loud snort filled the air as Anna tried to conceal her laughter. "Um, Elsa," she pointed to her lip.
The platinum blonde blinked and brushed her fingers across her lips. She felt the hoodie drawstring sticking out of her mouth and quickly spat it out. A bright pink blush covered her cheeks.
Anna burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Elsa demanded.
"You are!" Anna gasped. "The look on your face is priceless!"
Elsa narrowed her eyes at the laughing red head. She didn't like being laughed at, especially if it was because of an old self-soothe technique. "What's so funny about it?"
"It-It just is! You have drool on your chin, and your expression! Oh, my god, I can't breathe!" Anna clutched her sides.
"Your face isn't exactly drool free," Elsa rounded. She folded her arms across her chest.
Anna blinked and quickly wiped the drool from her chin. "Yeah, but it's expected from me. It's weird to see the Ice Queen drooling in her sleep like a little girl." She patted the blonde's hair and changed her tone to mimic baby talk. "You're just so cute!"
"Oh, that's it," Elsa lunged at the red head; her knee slamming into Ceili's ribcage as she flew from the couch like a cat.
A shrill shriek of excitement escaped Anna's lips as she jumped out of the way just in time and ran to the dining room. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It was just so cute! Don't kill me!"
Elsa chased her into the dining room and the two girls squared off on either side of the table. Their eyes locked in a battle of wit as they tried to figure out which way the other would move. An eerie silence fell around them as they each tested the waters by moving ever so slightly to the right and left, only to be copied by the other. The only thing missing was the western music in the background.
Ceili rolled off the couch and landed on the floor on her hands and knees. "Yeah, that's going to hurt for a while." She laughed painfully as she stood. Her gaze fell on the two teens. "I swear those two are going to rip me to shreds."
Lily placed her hand on her girlfriend's stomach where Elsa had accidentally kicked her. "Are you alright?" She was about to turn to the two teens and tell them to apologize but was silenced by a pair of lips on hers.
Ceili pulled out of the kiss and smirked at the brunette's blushing cheeks. "I'm fine. I've had worse, so don't worry about it. Besides, the girls are just playing. I don't think we need to wreck their fun."
The brunette glanced back at Elsa and Anna. The two teens had finally finished their standoff and were sprinting towards the two older women at break neck speed.
"You better hope I don't catch you!" Elsa laughed.
"Geez, Elsa, I said I was sorry!" Anna squealed in delight.
They sped through the living room and up the staircase with Anna in the lead. Once their parents were out of site, however, Elsa leapt up from the steps and swung over the railing, cutting the red head off. She grasped the still braking red head by the wrists and pinned her against the wall with little effort. Her lips immediately crashed into the younger girl's in a forceful kiss that would more than likely leave a bruise. She could feel her mind fogging over as she inhaled Anna's sweet scent.
Anna deepened the kiss, allowing the platinum blonde to dominate her tongue right out of the gate. Normally she liked being in charge of their kisses, but having been chased by her beloved and pinned to the wall made her feel very submissive. All she could think about was how she wanted the gorgeous girl making out with her right now to completely ravage her in body and soul.
The redhead moaned into the kiss when she felt Elsa's knee slip between her thighs and gently rub her through her jeans. The slight friction caused a small, heated knot to form in the pit of her abdomen as static tingled through her body. She had no idea what was happening, but she didn't want it to stop.
The two girls separated to take a much needed breath. Their chests were heaving from the intensity of their kiss and their faces were flushed bright pink. A small string of saliva connected their barely parted lips. Their lips crashed together once again in a desperate desire to taste the other once more.
Elsa released one of Anna's wrists and cupped the red head's cheek. She still couldn't get over just how soft her skin was as she gently stroked her cheek with her thumb and ghosted her fingers along her neck. She could feel the younger girl beneath her shiver at the intimate touch and smirked into the kiss.
Anna felt a trail of electricity spark across her skin where Elsa touched her neck and collarbone. She felt her knees begin to buckle and held the blonde's shoulder with her free hand to keep herself up. However, she had a feeling that the knee rubbing against her crotch and the wall behind her would make sure that she didn't fall to the floor.
A slight muffled shriek filled the hall as the red head felt her girlfriend's hand start messaging her breast timidly. However, Elsa felt more and more confident in her movements as Anna's gasps and soft moans of pleasure filled her head. It wasn't long before she was grinding her knee ruthlessly against the younger girl's clothed womanhood, and her hand slipped under her shirt and began kneading her breast directly.
"Hey! Stop making out and come down to dinner!" Ceili's head suddenly appeared over the railing as she jumped up and lifted herself through the stairwell. The small quirk in her eyebrow disappeared along with the smirk on her face when she saw the two girls' position. "Oh, dear…um….okay then."
Elsa and Anna tore away from one another and stared at the white haired woman with frightened looks in their eyes. Anna tried to fix her clothing as Elsa patted down her hair where the red head had tangled her fingers. Neither of them could look the older woman in the eye, so they stared at the floor with blushing faces. They looked like two little girls who just got caught trying to steal candy from the cupboard.
"What's going on up there?" Lily's voice called.
Anna's eyes widened in fear; she stared at the white haired woman pleadingly. "Don't tell her. Please, please, please, don't tell her."
Ceili cleared her throat and called back down the stairs. "It's nothing, Lily. I just caught Elsa and Anna with their hands in a cookie jar. I told them they can have their sweets after dinner. We'll be right down."
She turned back to the two girls and whispered loud enough so only they could hear. "When you guys…straighten up…Come downstairs. I'll distract Lily until you come to dinner."
And with that, she dropped down the stairwell and out of Elsa and Anna's site.
The two teens stood frozen to the floor. That didn't just happen. No way did that just happen. Ceili had just caught them rubbing against each other like hormonal rabbits and was willing to cover for them. This had to be a dream.
Dream or not, it took exactly three minutes for Elsa and Anna to make themselves presentable and rush down the stairs.
"Thanks a lot, Jazz. I owe you one." Ceili hung up the phone and went back into the Summers' residence. She crept silently past the two teens passed out on the couch and plopped down next to Lily on the love seat, draping her arms across the back cushions.
"What was that about?" Lily asked, never looking up from her book. She gently pushed her glasses further up her nose and flipped the page.
Ceili thought the brunette looked severely attractive with her reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of her nose, but she knew better than to say it. Her girlfriend absolutely despised wearing reading glasses. She said they made her feel old and there was nothing the younger woman could say to change her mind on that.
"Oh, my friend Jasmine told me that the education facility I'm going to teach at for a few days has extended the invitation so I can bring a guest or two…or three…south with me. Apparently they really want me to come down and facilitate a few things. They paid for the hotel room and plane tickets."
Lily cocked an eyebrow and shifted her gaze to the woman sitting next to her. "That was awful nice of them. I take it you'll be taking Elsa with you on vacation?"
Ceili smiled guiltily. "Actually, since I will be working on and off the whole time, I thought it might be a good thing for Elsa to invite a friend to come with so she doesn't get too bored. Maybe, I don't know, you and Anna would be willing to join us?"
A soft thud sounded through the air as Lily dropped her book onto the floor and stared at the white haired woman sitting next to her with disbelieving eyes. "You want Anna and I to go with you and Elsa on your vacation?"
"It's not my vacation. I have to work while I'm there. It'll be your guys' vacation," Ceili corrected. The smile on her face faded slightly and she stared at her lap. "Unless, of course, you think it's a bad idea or too soon for the four of us to do something like this. I would understand completely if that were the case. We've only been a thing for, what, four…five months. I just thought it would be good for the girls to have a family vacation."
Lily smiled at the flustered woman next to her and removed her glasses. "Why don't we put the girls to bed first, then we can discuss this so called vacation you have secretly been planning for the past week."
Ceili's eyes widened. "How did you know?"
"I'm a mother of a sixteen year old. I can tell when someone's scheming," Lily replied with a smirk. She gave her girlfriend a small peck on the lips and stood up. "Come on. Let's wake up Elsa and Anna and get them to bed."
A small grin pulled the corner of Ceili's mouth up in a crooked smile. "Sure," she followed the brunette to the couch where Elsa and Anna were tangled up under a blanket like two kindergarteners during nap time. Her heart twisted slightly and she whispered softly.
"Do we really have to wake them up? They look so adorable."
Lily rolled her eyes at the younger woman's soft side. "I can't carry Anna up the stairs anymore. She's gotten just a bit too heavy for me."
"How much does she weigh?"
The brunette thought for a minute. "I know she weighs less than I do."
"Oh, well, if that's the case I can carry her up the stairs," Ceili grinned giddily. She winked at her girlfriend teasingly. "After all, I did carry you from the couch to your bedroom the other week."
A whirlwind of fire swept across Lily's face as she remembered the night she and Ceili had sex in the living room. She had been slightly surprised with how easily the younger woman had carried her to her bedroom where they had spent the rest of their night in pure bliss. God, she wanted to have another night like that again.
Ceili used her girlfriend's flustered silence as a chance to stoop down and gently lift Anna off the couch bridal style. The red head mumbled something incoherently and snuggled into her sweater with a small smile on her lips. She looked like an overgrown five year old.
"Could you walk ahead of me and get her bedroom door?" Ceili asked quietly as she walked towards the staircase.
Lily nodded silently and led the younger woman carrying her daughter up the stairs. Once the three were outside Anna's bedroom, she opened the door and turned the covers down in her daughter's bed. Ceili set the red head down gently and pet the girl's hair before saying 'good night.'
The brunette kissed her daughter's forehead and whispered goodnight in Anna's ear before covering her in her bright pink comforter. The red head's eyes fluttered open for a split second as she wished the two women a good night and fell asleep again. Ceili and Lily couldn't help but smile at how adorable the freckle faced teen looked.
"Alright," Ceili inhaled deeply, "time to get Elsa to bed. Would it be alright if I just put her in here with Anna?"
"I don't see why there would be a problem," Lily admitted as she followed Ceili down the stairs. "Those two share a bed when they're at your place, don't they?"
Ceili smiled slightly. "Not because I say they can, they more or less just whisk themselves away to bed before I get home." She knelt down and gently shook Elsa's shoulder.
"Elsa, Snow Cub, it's time for bed. You can't sleep on the couch all night. It's time to move."
The blonde wiggled slightly in her sleep. "Just a few more minutes, Mama."
Ceili sighed mentally. She could always tell when her little sister was completely out of it, usually because the younger girl would always mistake her as their mother. It wasn't exactly a bad thing. It was just that she had no idea how to reply to it.
She gently scooped the blonde teen up into her arms and began her ascent up the staircase to Anna's room with Lily following behind her. "Come on, Snowflake. Let's get you to bed. You have a big surprise waiting for you tomorrow."
Elsa snuggled into the older woman's sweater and sighed happily. "Okay."
Ceili felt her stomach twist painfully as she used her mother's old nickname for Elsa instead of her typical "Snow Cub" like she was used to. It also sent a wave of sorrow through her heart as the younger girl spoke to her as if she was their mother. It was times like this that she wished that she actually was the blonde's mother, because maybe then she would be able to give her the true mother figure she deserved.
But she was just her older sister, not her mother. She would never be able to really be like a mother to the younger girl. She could only try her best and pray that it would mean something in the long run.
Lily opened the door to Anna's room and let the two sisters go through first. She quickly rolled down the comforter on one half of her daughter's bed and stepped aside so Ceili could set the sleeping blonde down. Once Elsa was tucked into bed with her girlfriend, the white haired woman placed a soft kiss on her younger sister's cheek.
She hummed a soft lullaby as she brushed the bangs from Elsa's face; her mother's lullaby. "Good night, Snow Cub. I'll see you in the morning. Love you, sweetheart." She placed another kiss in the girl's platinum blonde locks and followed Lily out of the room, closing the door behind her quietly.
She didn't see Elsa open her eyes and smile at her back as she left the room.
Hello Dears! I'm sorry, but I had to give Anna somewhat of a Daddy issue. It was just too good to pass up! XD
This goes from super cute to very fluffy. I never realized it until I uploaded it. I hope you all enjoy it!
