Disclaimer: I own Nothing.
Why the fuck was Rapunzel in that dream?! I rubbed my temples after I started my car. Am I seriously wanting that threesome? For the love of- what the hell's wrong with me? Is Anna not enough for me? Negative thoughts invaded my mind as I drove back to Anna's house. She's made it very clear that she wants nothing to do with Rapunzel and just where am I standing in all of that? Those thoughts took a turn and I suddenly felt ashamed.
No! I only need one. Sure Punzie's hot in her own way but she isn't mine. I don't consider her mine. At a red light, I took a deep breath when memories of Anna and I then filtered through my mind from that first day all the way until I left her earlier. 'When you hold my hand
I understand the magic that you do...' My eyes widened and when the light turned green, I didn't go. Anna's hypnotic voice broke through my confused brain and seemed to settle me instantly. 'You're my dream come true, My one and only you...'
"One and only You." I whispered, licking my dry lips happily. It's 'Only You' not 'Threesome' genius. Chuckling to my ridiculous self, I continued down the road in case someone decided to hit me for just sitting there. Maybe I was still a little out of my head, but the sudden thought of seeing Anna so soon gave me a push in the more sober direction. Besides, if she was drunk... well, we both just couldn't be that way at the moment.
That brought me to my next thought. What exactly did her mother say to her? I hardly knew my redhead for the drinking type, but whatever was said was probably a little harsh. I didn't know what was up with her mom, she seemed like she'd be able to send my own mother home crying and that scared me. Of course I wasn't afraid of her. I was more scared for Anna. My redhead's personality went way deep. She was complicated and a hopeless romantic, which was nothing like she showed in her facade of 'the shy girl' in school. She took words to heart, she could get hurt, did get hurt when she was teased about her body, she was strong, but only so much and she expressed that through her songs, though I had the feeling that she'd be able to express that through sex too. That was just how my redhead was.
I leaned back, lowering myself a bit when I parked at the gate, thinking that I should have at least worn a hat- then you'd definitely look like a kidnapper. Luckily I didn't have to wait long because they were already making their way down the grove. Though, when Anna stumbled more times than one, my brows raised in amusement. Ariel did her best to correct her older sister's clumsy steps and at the last possible second, failed as they crashed to the ground. I was out of my car and practically running to them when Ariel slapped her shoulder before crawling out from under my giggling redhead.
"Hey, pull yourself together for two seconds please?" She grumbled and Anna muttered a few incoherent words before flicking Ariel's nose. "Ugh, you're making me look bad!"
"I think you did a mighty fine job, Ariel." I snickered, kneeling next to Anna's head. "Well, hey there, darlin'." I said in a mock Elvis voice, making hazy green eyes look from the other redhead to me in a flash.
"Elsa? W-what are you- Ariel I wasn't serious about that!" Anna groaned, covering her eyes much like I did earlier and I grinned at her adorableness. "I don't want you seeing me like this." She mumbled and turned away from me. Ariel patted her head before helping me stand her up.
"Don't hate me for wanting to help you, dear sister. You get enough crap as is from everyone." She stated softly.
"Yeah, but-" Anna stumbled a bit and I tightened my hold on her waist.
"No. She's right, you do get some crap and you have to vent somehow." I shrugged as we made it back to my car where I opened the passenger door so we could slide her in. "I feel a little honored that you're showing this side of yourself to me." It was true, this was definitely a side I had yet to see. I'd shown her some of my drunk side when I called her and in order for us to work we needed to be able to accept all faucets of one another...so says some Doctor from Cosmo. No, that was totally what my brain was piecing together at the moment.
"I'm sure as hell not proud of it." She muttered somewhat dejectedly, making Ariel snort at her.
"I think she's one of those emotional drunks, you know one that feels completely guilty but drinks anyway? What's the word, shameful?" Ariel thought out loud, making Anna stick her tongue out at her.
"And I'm the fun one when I drink." I said, leaning in to kiss Anna's temple. Truthfully, I didn't even know what type of drinker I was. Oh well. "Don't worry min kjærlighet. We'll get you to bed in no time." I said as sweetly as I could.
"du er så vakker." She smiled dreamily while I made sure to buckle her seat belt in.
"I beg to differ, sweetheart." I chuckled. She was the beautiful one. Even in this dazed state of hers.
"Hey, her dad's Norwegian." Ariel's eyes lit up when she heard those few words of ours.
"I am too." I nodded at her. "But I'm not fluent and my mother hates that- wait, you have a different dad?" I asked suddenly. They kinda looked the same...or did I just not get a good look at her?
"Yeah, I guess my dad adopted Anna when our parents got married, so that makes her a St. James. I believe her last name was originally Reistad." She paused to take my hand once I closed the door. "Listen, thank you for rescuing her." Leaning in a bit she added more quietly. "The main reason Mother gets into these fights with Anna is because she refuses to get an operation done to make her, you know, full female." Full- what the hell- operation?! I stared incredulously at her.
"So... this isn't the first time she's been like this?" I asked, looking at the sleeping girl in my car and then swallowing a sudden lump in my throat.
"No. It happens almost every time they see each other. When this happens, Anna normally steals from the liquor cabinet and secludes herself in her room for days on end. It used to scare the crap out of me, like, what if she tried to- to-" her eyes started to water and I didn't hesitate to pull her to me for a hug. My own eyes glistened as I put a hand on her head. That's news to me! Suddenly I felt like such an asshole for having second thoughts about that stupid threesome idea and felt sick that I'd actually had a dream about it. I'm so sorry, Anna. I didn't know...
"I-I'll take care of her. I promise you that." I whispered defiantly into Ariel's sweet smelling head.
"I know you will. She's crazy about you." Ariel wiped her eyes and turned to go.
"Here, let me give you my number." I sniffled. Her blue eyes perked up and she instantly handed me her phone. "If that happens again, you tell me and I'll drop whatever I'm doing. I don't care if your Mother threatens me, I will get her out of that state."
Ariel nodded vigorously before jumping at me to bury her face in my neck. "You're a good person, Elsa. Probably the best thing that's ever happened to my sister and I promise to do all I can to keep you two together, you know, even though you're older than her. Then again, her birthday is right around the corner so it shouldn't be that big a deal." She sure can talk!
"Thank you for informing me about this. About her." Giving her one last squeeze, I released her and turned back to my car. "I'll bring her back later."
"Okay- wait, wait, wait, before you go, I have a question." Ariel wavered her hands but kept her voice as quiet as possible lest she wake someone up. Though, there were no neighbors, well there were, but they were at the bottom of the hill the St. James estate sat upon. "How'd you two meet?"
I bit my lip, hesitating. Could I tell her? She seemed so innocent but could I genuinely trust her?
"Please? Just tell me that and I'll stop asking." She smiled at me. "Is this the face of some witch with a back-stabbing plan?" Batting her big blue eyes made me roll mine. Oh hell, she's just a dork too.
"We met at school. She's a student of mine." I winked when her jaw hit the ground.
"Wha- bu- but- then, so how-"
"Ah- ah, you said you'd stop asking if I told you." I giggled, opening my door and already partially in when I heard her whine like a pup.
"That is soo not fair!" She pouted, stamping her foot like a child. "You can't leave me hanging like that!"
"Oh yeah?" I teased "Watch me."
"Let's just do it." Anna slurred, pinning my wrists to either side of my head once we flopped on to my bed.
"Do what?" I asked against her soft lips. She tasted of vodka and I swear I got drunk all over again.
"Well. Birds do it. Bees do it-" she giggled as she kissed down my throat. An idiotic grin split my face but began to dissolve when her hot tongue felt along with her teeth. Ooomph..
"Yes, let's fall in love Mrs. Fitzgerald." I finished, testing her grip on my wrists and when they didn't budge, I felt a mixture of arousal and caution course through me, mainly because I could easily give into her demands if I wasn't careful.
"Aren't you tired of waiting?" She asked, releasing me so she could sit up. I suppressed a groan when I felt her beginning to harden against my stomach but before I let conscious give way to passion, I sat up too. "Don't you want to?" Her voice was low and sexy, it made my core twitch heatedly.
"Of course I want to. I'm just as ready as you are. But I want it to be special and not when we're both not exactly in our right minds." As corny as that sounded. Leaning in, I caught her lips once more and she sighed into my mouth before pulling back to place her forehead on mine.
"You're too good for me." She admitted quietly, causing my stomach to twist guiltily. Uh-oh.
"No. I think you're the one that's too good for me." I shook my head.
"Why do you say that?" She asked, running her fingers through my hair in a calming motion while I chewed my lip trying to figure out the best way to voice my thoughts.
"Because you're way more loyal than I am." Shit, that didn't sound right. "I-I mean, th-that's- that came out wrong-" I began to panic when her face suddenly fell.
"Are you cheating on me, Elsa?" Her green eyes flared a bit, putting me on edge. "Is Rapunzel more than a roommate now?"
"N-no I wasn't-" damn mouth!
"Relax, I know what you mean." Anna rolled her eyes but got off of me to lie on her back instead. Mood ruined.
"Do you?" I asked, sitting up to look at her. "Because for one, I am not cheating on-"
"You know they say that if you so much as think about another that way, its basically the same thing?" She stated somewhat harshly, but I let that punch my guts like it should have. Instead of trying to explain myself further, I slid off the bed and pulled my knees up to my chin. That was true.
"I'm sorry." I whispered brokenly. Suddenly, I hated myself for putting her through that shit. She was already dealing with her own mess and there I was, thinking that everything was perfect and would only get better once we took that next step. How completely juvenile of me! Even so, I wasn't ready to begin going down the sulky path, not when I'd just delved deeper into her life. Though, again, we needed to establish our relationship before we both drove each other crazy, but this time it wasn't because of her insecurities.
I knew I wouldn't sleep with Rapunzel, but I'd be lying if I said that dream of mine had absolutely no effect on me. That wasn't fair to her, but if she didn't trust me enough to believe that I had no feelings but platonic ones for the brunette then... I turned to see Anna facing me but her eyes were closed and her breathing was even, letting me know she was asleep. Then again, I didn't make that a big a deal when Rapunzel flirted with us. Honestly, I'd always delt with that so it really didn't bother me, so maybe that was something Anna wasn't used to. She could be jealous at times, very jealous.
I don't understand you at all.
Standing up, I pulled the covers over her sleeping form before quietly leaving the bedroom to go back downstairs to the kitchen. I wasn't surprised to see the brunette still sitting there, nursing what appeared to be a ginger ale.
"Thanks for leaving me here." She mumbled when I passed her to go to the fridge.
"I wasn't about to carry you anywhere." I muttered back. I got myself a can and went to sit in the living room.
"Are you in the shit-house? Didn't I see your redhead earlier?" She asked, standing up to stretch her arms and legs.
"Yeah, I-I mean she's asleep, but I don't think I'm in the- whatever the hell that is." Flipping the TV on, I curled into myself not caring what was on. Shows were boring this early in the morning but I couldn't sit there in silence.
"It means that she cut you off." Rapunzel shrugged. "Are you okay?" She asked after coming back from a yawn.
"Do you really like me like you say you do?" My voice suddenly didn't sound like my own. When I looked at her, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Oh, hell I'm not messing with-"
"Answer me." I demanded. I needed to know. This damn guilt was eating at me, but did it really need to make me feel like this?
"Well, yeah but, Elsa if that's what's making you this way, if its shaking your relationship up-" she stuttered to a stop when I stood to my feet.
"Kiss me then."
"E-Elsa are you still drunk?" She backed up as I inched closer to her.
"I thought you'd jump at the opportunity if I gave you the green light." I felt hollow all of a sudden and I hated that.
"jesus, Elsa! Who the hell do you think I am? Sure I come off as the perfect girl to wreck any relationship with my advances but even I have a limit." She glared at me. "That limit was passed when I moved in with you. I know Anna doesn't like the idea of me staying here when she can't and don't think I can't see that it's shaking the both of you up in the worst way possible." She sighed putting a hand to my shoulder. "It's only the third day I've been here and y'all are already fighting."
"I had a dream of the three of us." I finally confessed.
"So? I did too, all the time and I'm sure Miss St. James would be lying if she said she didn't either." She flopped on the couch.
"Regardless, she mentioned something like if a person even thought about another sexually then it may as well be the same thing." I couldn't help but feel completely defeated, but I did wonder if this was the alcohol talking. Or it could be everything that happened today coming down on me like Frost and his stupid antics.
"Well if that's how it is, then I guess I'm the biggest slut there is. Seriously, Elsa, actions speak louder than words and you and I have not, I repeat have not gone that far. Fuck, we haven't even so much as touched..well intimately anyway." Checking her nails, she brought her eyes to me boredly.
"You did the other night!" I half shouted.
"A few gropes here and there, sue me." She rolled her eyes. "Welcome to Grown-Up relationships" she added sarcastically. "Okay, here's what you do, worry-wart. Go back to your room and hold your cupcake until the sun comes up and don't you stop holding her, even after you drop her back off. Because lord knows she needs you just as much as you need her."
"Since when did you become a love expert?" I sighed heavily.
"I'm capable of loving someone and I'll have you know that I was in a long distance relationship until recently. Now get outta here before you wake up looking like shit too." She snickered.
"Asshole." I muttered, sticking my tongue out at her.
"I seriously doubt you could look like that though." Rapunzel commented making me freeze mid-step to give her a sharp look. "Easy Snow Leopard, my words aren't exactly gripping your ass are they?"
No words came to mind and I shook my head exasperatedly at her before retreating back up the stairs to my redhead.
