Elsa groaned and stretched out her aching body. She can't remember the last time she's slept this much. It felt both good and yet she felt like crap. Not hungover crap just slept too much crap. The hangover was gone.
"Well, look who finally woke up."
Elsa froze and her nose twitched. Can she not shake this girl today or what? She'd be lying if she said the redhead's scent wasn't calming.
She looks to the girl who was sitting on the floor at the table playing solitaire. Where did she get the cards from?
"I took the liberty in cleaning your house a bit, really Elsa, I know you're busy, but at least do laundry," Anna says. This makes Elsa look around. Light was flooding into the place and the smell of dust was gone. All the weapons she had around were all placed back neatly into the wall cupboard to the side.
"You cleaned my house?" Was all she could ask as she tried to get her brain to work again. Anna nodded and stared at her cards. She had no moves left. There was a twinge of something in Elsa's heart.
"Why?" She asked and Anna looked up to her.
"Because your place made me depressed, I don't know how you could live with so little light and warmth," Anna grumbles.
"The cold never bothered me and I'm usually never home," Elsa says and runs a hand through her hair. She watches the redhead stand and head to the door.
"Mom and dad invited you to come have dinner with us tonight," Anna says as she looks back to Elsa with her hand on the door handle.
"I-," Elsa cuts herself off as a knot forms in her throat. She swallows before giving the shorter girl a small smile, "I'd love to be there, do I...do I need to bring anything?" She asks, a little uncertainly. Anna hums and moves her eyes between Elsa's pools of blue.
"No, just your manners," she smiles, an honest to goodness, reaches her eyes smile and heads out. Elsa takes a few minutes to look around before perking up. Anna had said something about laundry.
She jumps up and heads to the laundry room to see it clean of clothes. She then runs upstairs to her room and sees all her clothes are neatly folded and placed onto her made up bed. Anna had really cleaned for her. The twinge in her chest was back.
Taking a deep breath, Elsa carefully places the clean clothes into their places, keeping out something decent for the dinner that night. Once finished she heads to take a shower, scrubbing away the lingering stench of alcohol. There was a slight smell of dog on her that confused her, but nothing soap couldn't fix.
After being cleaned and feeling fresh Elsa smiles to herself as she dresses in some decent clothes. Anna's parents already saw her bad side so now she needed to show them her good side.
Getting dressed wasn't the issue, she did that in 5 minutes, but what took long was her hair. She can't remember the last time she straightened it and she remembered why. It sucked.
Checking herself in the mirror she smiles. A fancy pair of black boots, black skinny jeans, light blue dress shirt and snowflake earrings. The shirts' rolled up sleeves were a little tight around her biceps, but that's what she wanted. She wanted to show her muscles off to Anna while still looking decent to her parents.
God it feels like she was meeting her girlfriend's family.
That made her blush slightly.
As she was trying to figure out if she needed to be polite and bring something over her com-link went off. Great, couldn't she have one normal day?
"Ice Queen to base, what do you want?" She growls into the thing as she rummages through the kitchen cupboards.
"This is a reminder that your shift starts in an hour," came Mulan's voice. Elsa rolls her eyes.
"Yea I will be late for that, I have something else that needs to be done first," she says and looks over the wine rack.
"Elsa," Mulan growled in warning.
"Dammit, Mulan, let me just do this one thing then I promise to be a good girl and do my job," she hisses. There was silence for a while and Elsa moved to her father's liquor cabinet.
"Fine, this will all be taken from your leave," she says, clearly annoyed.
"Thank you," Elsa sighs and throws the device onto the table. Humming to herself she pulls out a sealed bottle of scotch.
A smile works its way onto her face as she goes to their backyard. After retrieving some flowers, she fetches some ribbons and ties cute bows onto the gifts.
Rubbing her chin Elsa looks around before retrieving some of her chocolate stash. She might as well take Anna something.
Making sure once more she was decent and everything was good, she looks to the time. From what she can remember when out doing patrols, the Summers usually have dinner around 7 pm. She had a few minutes to calm down.
Elsa was wrong.
Those few minutes didn't help at all. She was almost shaking from the unusual panic that was rising.
Normally things like this meant nothing to her. She was a social girl at school, damn it. Shaking her head, she takes a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.
Elsa's blue eyes cast up to Mr. Summers and she gulps.
"Sir, I am really sorry for my drunken state last night," she said, barely able to keep her voice from shaking as she handed him the bottle. His eyebrows rose and the scowl he was wearing disappeared in favor of delight.
"All is forgiven Elsa dear, do come in," he smiles and steps to the side. She smiles and feels her shoulders relax a bit. Once inside the house she heads to Mrs. Summers and presents the flowers.
"Ma'am, thank you for the lovely breakfast this morning, sorry to have been an inconvenience to you," she says with a smile. Mrs. Summers's eyes widen as she takes the flowers.
"Wow, these are really lovely Elsa and don't worry it was lovely to have another face at breakfast, no matter how brief," she smiles. Elsa already felt better. It was a more relaxing setting than things between her and her parents. She can't really remember the last time she had dinner with them, let alone seen them.
"They get stuff and I don't? What else did I expect?" Anna said to her side and Elsa tilts her head as she looks to the redhead.
"What happened to manners?" Elsa asks quirking an eyebrow.
"I said you had to bring manners, this is my house I can do as I please," Anna huffs and looks to the side, turning her nose up like some snob. Elsa eyed her with an almost amused smile.
"In that case I guess you don't want this chocolate then? I could give it to your mother," Elsa says as she sways the slab around. It had its own bow wrapped around it.
Anna's head snapped to the moving candy as her eyes widened. She went to take it but Elsa pulled it just out of her reach. Anna frowned at her and chased after the slab as Elsa kept moving it higher and higher. In the end they were toe to toe and invading the others personal space.
"You really want it bad, don't you nerd?" Elsa said trying her hardest not to purr. Anna's eyes hardened into a glare as she placed her free hand on Elsa's shoulder and stood on her tippy toes to reach for the chocolate.
Elsa smiled as she kept it just out of her reach still. Her eyes traveling over the girl's freckles as Anna's eyes were trained on getting that damned slab. Her heart sped up as she felt the girl's breasts press against hers then it nearly stopped as she stuck out her tongue at the side of her lips as she tried to balance on one leg for some extra height.
Elsa's arm dropped just enough for Anna to grab it and exclaim her victory. Her eyes caught Anna's parents smirking at them and she clears her throat while looking away.
"Come on kids let's eat!" Mrs Summers smiles and they all take a seat around the table. The adults at the head of each side and the kids across from the other in the middle.
Elsa is a little overwhelmed with all the food set out on the table. She isn't sure where to start so opts to observe the others as they filled their plates.
"Elsa, Hun, I'd encourage you to dish up before the two barbarians take everything," Mrs Summers says politely. Both Anna and her father frown.
"Hey!" They scold. Elsa only smiled and did as told.
"So, Elsa, Anna seems to think you two don't get along, something to do with high school rules?" Mrs. Summer says as she smiles.
"The unspoken ones? Well...true we're not in the same cliques and usually our groups don't get along," Elsa shrugs as she eats slowly.
"Why is that?" Mr Summers asked with a slight frown.
"Well I'm not sure. I will admit I haven't always been nice to her, but she hasn't been nice back either," Elsa says as she nibbles on a few salad leaves.
"Hey, I just mind my own business, you always make things difficult," Anna grumbles.
"If you haven't noticed, I haven't been much of a bully the last few months," Elsa points out.
"No, but that's because your stupid friends do the bullying for you, Miss Ice Queen," Anna growls as she stabs her steak with her fork.
"I haven't exactly been hanging out with them as much. What they do is not on me," Elsa frowned.
"It doesn't matter, they still follow the Queens example," Anna huffs and slumps in her chair a bit.
"What are you on about? I'm not the Queen," Elsa frowns more as she places down her fork.
"Oh please, everyone knows you're the Queen," Ana rolls her eyes.
"What does that make you then?" Elsa raises an eyebrow.
"A peasant at best," Anna says clicking her tongue in annoyance. Elsa narrows her eyes and takes in a deep breath of the girl's scent as she calms herself down.
"Well seeing as you're the Queen of the nerds, I'll make you a princess," Elsa smiles and Anna blinks as she looks up from her plate.
"What? You can't do that, that's not how things work!" Anna said a little flustered for some reason.
"I am the Queen no? What the Queen says goes. So, I dub you Princess Nerd," Elsa smirks and Anna huffs angrily. They get pulled from the little bicker by Anna's parents as they chuckle.
"You two are just so cute together," Anna's mom says, making both girls blush.
"Talking about cute and together, Elsa do you have a special someone in your life?" Mr. Summers asked. The blonde straightened her spin as her eyes widened.
"Um, currently? No sir," she answers and goes back to eating.
"That's a shame," Mrs Summers sighs.
"Though by the looks of things, she's heading to a date after this," Anna grumbles as she keeps stabbing at her steak.
"Is that you asking or telling?" Elsa said narrowing her eyes. Her heart was beating a little too fast, this was too close to flirting, or was this flirting? She's unsure she's never done this!
"Telling duh, like you'd be the dominant one in this relationship," Anna says without hesitation and a glance towards Elsa. Elsa gives a real fake queenly laugh.
"Says a Princess to a Queen," she says.
Anna throws down her fork and levels a glare at Elsa.
"What are you waiting for then, Ice Queen? Put me in my place and make your move," she growls. Elsa was about to respond, but Anna's mother clears her throat extremely loudly with an 'excuse me ladies,' following. Both girls snap out of their bickering and start blushing like mad.
"Should we be leaving you two alone or…?" Anna's father trails off with a slight smirk on his face.
"Pfft, like I'd enter a relationship with her," Anna quickly says and stuffs a piece of steak into her mouth.
"You wish I'd give you the time of day," Elsa huffs and eats food herself. The adults could only shake their heads.
Elsa gave a glance to the clock as they ate before finishing and cleaned her mouth with a napkin.
"This was really lovely, but I have to finish homework and get up early tomorrow for school," Elsa smiled. Anna just hummed and her parents nodded.
"Well it was lovely having you over Elsa dear, let's make this a weekly thing?" Mr. Summers smiled.
"Let's say 3 times a week? Sundays, Wednesdays and the other one you can choose, though we wouldn't mind if you decide to come over more," Mrs. Summers smiled. Elsa felt herself blush.
"That's very kind of you, I will let you know," Elsa said and said goodbye, waving to Anna before walking back over to her house.
She pauses after opening her door. Looking back to the Summers house Elsa lets out a soft sigh. It's going to take more than a few kind words and actions to win over the redhead, that much she knew.
Eeeeee progress!
