Notes: So this one is incredibly short because I was at work all day and am off to a party now, so I had like 20 minutes to write this. Tomorrow's will be much better and (maybe, maaaaybe) contain some smut! ;)

P.S. Please notice the "maybe" there!

Day Four: No Peeking

Anna had always had a tendency to try and sneak a peek at any upcoming presents. Christmas, her birthday—hell, sometimes she even tried to peek at Elsa's presents if they weren't from Anna herself! Ever since she was old enough to realize that beneath the pretty paper lay untold riches ranging from delicate silks to boxes of candy, it had been tiring trying to make sure any presents remained secret.

So, because of this knack of her little sister's, Elsa was prepared this Christmas with a new method she had thought of several years prior but had never been able to do.

The reason being simple enough: it involved her ice powers.

Now that she was no longer harboring a dark secret from her sister, Elsa was excited to deploy her secret weapon. She had already heard Kai and Gerda griping about Anna hiding behind curtains or looking under the crack of the doors when she knew something of hers was being wrapped. She couldn't refrain from rolling her eyes and smiling at her sister's antics, yet she knew there was no way Anna would be peeking at what Elsa was giving her.

In fact, Elsa wanted to flaunt the fact that she had come up with a foolproof plan, so she decided to plant her present for Anna in plain sight—namely, the desk in her office—while she herself hid behind the curtains in the room to wait for Anna's sure arrival.

After all, it was protocol that Anna would show up in her office at five sharp to escort Elsa to dinner.

And speak of the devil…

Elsa was alerted to her sister's oncoming presence by the sound of her humming coming down the hallway. Making herself scarce, Elsa stood from her chair and jumped behind the satin curtains in the room, making sure they touched the floor enough so that her shoes weren't showing.

"Elsa?" she heard Anna call.

Ever so carefully peering out, Elsa saw Anna look around the vacant office with confusion briefly before noticing the obvious gift on the desk.

"Ooh!" she cried, skipping to the desk. "It's for me!"

Elsa watched as her sister did a quick scan of the room—thankfully so quick she missed the extra lumpy curtains—before her gaze zeroed back in on the present before her.

"Elsa, I know it's been a while, but you should remember that I always try to look at my presents!" she giggled to herself.

Oh believe me, Anna, I remembered, Elsa thought with a silent snigger.

Waiting for the exact moment, Elsa watched as Anna's hands drew ever closer to the box before a simple wave of the elder's hand had the younger jumping back in surprise with a squeal.

"No peeking, silly!" Elsa called with a laugh, stepping from her hiding spot.

Looking to her sister and back to the now frozen present, Anna pouted.

"That's not fair, sis," she grumbled. "You can't use your magic."

Elsa just chuckled as she wrapped Anna in a hug, staring at the gift from her over her shoulder.

"Then I suppose you'll just have to think of your own clever way to keep me from peeking at my presents," she quipped.
