A/N: Modern AU Elsanna teachers on lunch break
~.~.~.~.~
"Don't."
"I might have to, Elsa," Anna tilted her head toward the blonde and gave her a look something akin to 'this is for your own good'.
"Please don't?" Elsa asked this time.
Anna shook her head and folded her arms. "I'm afraid you leave me no choice."
Elsa sighed and sat down at the small table in the teacher's lounge where Anna and she had decided to have lunch today. "Fiiiine," Elsa said, a groan in her voice.
"There are starving children in Africa, Elsa," Anna began her speech.
"Ugh, I know!" Elsa said. She face-planted on the table and covered her head with her arms as Anna continued.
"We don't even have to go that far! There are starving people right here in Aredelle City, Elsa! Do you know what I saw the other day?" Anna asked.
Elsa peeked up at her and shook her head.
Anna placed her hands on her hips and she narrowed her eyes on Elsa. "There was this guy on a corner with a reindeer—"
Elsa snickered.
"What?" Anna asked sternly.
"Uh…just a little odd to be standing around with a reindeer…" Elsa tried to backpedal.
"No," Anna sat down at the table with her, pointing a miffed finger in her direction. "What's odd is that I was the only one to stop to see what I could do for him. People were passing him by left and right and do you know what he wanted when I asked?"
"Uh…"
"A carrot. For his reindeer. That's it. He didn't ask a thing for himself," Anna finished. She leaned back in her chair, her arms crossed once more though her scolding was done.
"You're making this up," Elsa narrowed her eyes on the copper-haired girl.
"Nope," Anna said with a pop. She took up one of the baby carrots that came with Elsa's lunch from the sandwich shop across the street that they had frequented. "Are you telling me that though a homeless man would give anything for this little carrot so that his reindeer wouldn't go hungry, that you won't eat it?"
Elsa let out a burst of laughter. "There's no way that's true!"
Anna chuckled. "Maybe it was a dog and he asked for a can of dog food. Doesn't negate from my point."
"No, it adds to mine. You just equated carrots with dog food. Case closed. The defense rests," Elsa chuckled with the ginger. "Besides—"
As soon as Elsa had opened her mouth again, Anna took it as an invitation to plop the baby carrot in.
Elsa made a face as she chewed then swallowed.
"There; that wasn't so bad, right?" Anna smiled at her.
Elsa narrowed her eyes on Anna again. "Tonight, when we get home. I'm making you eat your favorite."
Anna narrowed her eyes in return. "You wouldn't dare."
"Yep," Elsa nodded slowly, trying not to smile as the threat lingered in the air. "Nothing but pickled herring for you tonight, my love."
Anna slid her chair closer to Elsa. She looked down and then back up, fluttering her lashes in a way she knew made Elsa's heart hammer. "Or…we could skip to dessert."
Be cool be cool, Elsa coached herself as Anna came in closer for a kiss. Stand your ground. "Chocolate covered pickled herring?"
And just like that, Anna pulled a face and shoved Elsa away. Elsa laughed and stood as the bell rang. "We better get back to class. Those students aren't going to bore themselves."
"Har har," Anna rolled her eyes. "My students happen to adore my class."
"Well, yeah, they get to look at you for an hour," Elsa muttered under her breath as she deposited her waste in the garbage bin.
Anna hugged the taller woman from behind and Elsa turned in her arms. "Right back at ya, babe-a-licious," Anna giggled.
"Babe-a-what now?" Elsa laughed.
Anna chuckled and raised herself on tip-toes to give the blonde a quick peck. "See you tonight."
"Mmm hmmm," Elsa hummed with a smile that came easily to her lips. "Someone's gotta eat that chocolate covered pickled herring."
Anna rolled her eyes, but was grinning as she left for class. "I'll bring the carrots."
