I had a lot of car time….like sixteen hours of car time to write. It was a little awkward in the beginning, but once I got into the groove of it, it got a little more comfortable. We are stopping for the night so…here is a quick update. Alright this was requested by FrozenFairyTales, it's Matthias's and Elsa's reactions to Elliot's questions last chapter. It starts off pretty funny, but there are some other questions answered as well, and it gets endearing, and just a tad bit angsty. I also want to say how awesome you guys are! I have received so many positive on this story, and I just want to give you guys' just one giant thank you! Without further adu, here is the next installment of WDBCF!
Disclaimer: I do not own Frozen, I only own Matthias and Elliot.
It was a simple question really and there were many simple answers they could give, but none the less, Matthias and Elsa's cheeks both turned a deep scarlet, as there previous nightly activities came to mind. Little Elliot sat up in bed and looked at his Aunt and Uncle curiously.
Elsa cleared her throat, "Um…we were...um." Curse him, Elsa could counter argue anything that came up in a meeting, making sure all aspects were looked at, she could conjure up trade routes, and treaties, she could scare off any suitor that came after her sister, who was for some reason unaware that she was married and already had a kid, but she could not get past her nephew's simple questions. Elsa glanced at Matthias for help.
"Um…we were…eating chocolate…yeah, that's what we were doing" Matthias said and scratched the back of his neck.
"But what were those other noises?" Elliot asked.
Elsa chuckled nervously, "How much did you hear exactly?"
"Well I heard you guys make noises whenever you eat chocolate, but then I also heard the bed move and make a squeaking noise" He explained
If it was at all possible to be a deeper shade of red, Matthias and Elsa were both that color. They both were very quiet people and private. Neither of them were comfortable about telling other people about their personal lives. Elsa grew flustered and said they were fine and that was that. Matthias however grew a little angry whenever people asked about him and his wife. During breaks some of the other captains always tried getting…certain details about his personal life with the Queen, and he always told them it was none of their business and if he was having a bad day, he always embarrassed them in front of their troops.
Matthias cleared his throat, "We were um…having a chocolate fight, and you heard us moving around on the bed."
"That sounds fun! Can I do it with you?" Elliot asked and his eyes brightened.
"Um, maybe next time buddy" Matthias answered, and looked to his wife to see if she approved of their cover up story. Elsa, who was still blushing, nodded her head.
"But why was Auntie Elsa wearing your shirt? She normally sleeps in her own jamies." he asked again looking at the shirt and then back to his aunt.
Elsa looked to Matthias again only to get the 'you're on your own for this one' look. She scowled at her husband, but turned back to the five-year-old. She furrowed her eyebrows at him, and pursed her lips together. What kind of answer do you give to that question? After thinking carefully about her answer, she told him, "Well…I just got a little chilly last night, that's all."
"But the cold never bothers you."
Elsa cursed silently to herself, I guess in the heat, or chill of the moment, she panicked, so much for thinking through that answer, "Well…I guess my body decided to feel cold."
"Is your body also deciding to be red like Uncle Matthias?"
Elsa and Matthias blushed even more, but nodded none the less. All of a sudden they heard the door open and a voice say, "Oh thank goodness." The trio looked over to the door, and they saw Anna holding a hand over her heart.
"Mommy! I slept with Auntie Elsa and Uncle Matthias" Elliot said with a grin.
"I see that" Anna said, and sat at the foot of her sister and brother-in-laws' bed. Elliot scurried over to his mother and curled up right into her arms.
"Morning Mama" he whispered.
"Good morning sweetie."
He looked up at his mother and gave his mother a big kiss on her cheek. He defiantly did have Anna's personality. He was a very affectionate, curious, and loud, child. Anna smiled down at him, "Why did you sleep in Auntie Elsa's room last night?" Elliot frowned, and looked down. However, he did get his father's shyness. He just shrugged causing Anna to frown. Anna looked to Elsa for an explanation. Elsa mouthed the word 'nightmare' to her, and Anna's frown deepened. This was the third time this month he had, had a nightmare and he went running to his Uncle and Aunt. It just baffled the parents why their son did this. They thought very little of it he first time he did it, but figuring now was the third time, it was beginning to worry everybody. "Sweetheart…why do you not come to Mama and Papa when you have nightmares?" Elliot slowly got off his mother and shrugged his shoulders.
Elsa's lips curved downward a little at the situation before her. She felt a little bad whenever he went to them instead of his parents. It was very confusing to the four adults.
"Buddy, we aren't mad…we just want to know" Matthias said reassuringly and rubbed Elliot's back. Elliot quickly glanced at his uncle then back down.
They all waited patiently for him to say or do anything. He finally looked into his Aunt's eyes and he slowly curled up into her lap. He buried his head into her shoulder, and squeezed his eyes shut. Elsa used a hand to run her fingers through his hair, and the other one to rub his back. She then rested her cheek upon the top of his head and closed her eyes. They waited another few minutes before Elsa finally heard him whisper, "I don't want them to see me scared."
Elsa's eyes snapped open and she looked down at him. She knew the feeling all too well. Conceal, don't feel. He was concealing his feelings. There was his aunt's side of him. "Why?" she whispered in his ear.
"I don't want them to think bad about me."
"Sweetheart" Elsa lifted his chin and looked him straight in the eye "They will never think any different of you if they see you scared" she said loud enough for Matthias and Anna to hear.
Tears pricked Anna's eyes as she cupped her son's cheek. "Baby, it's okay to see us when you're scared. I love you with all my heart and my love for you only grows stronger. Let me tell you a little secret" She said and pulled Elliot into her lap. "Your mama and papa still get scared sometimes" She whispered and he gasped.
"Really?"
"Mhm."
"But I thought Adults didn't get scared."
Anna laughed at this, "Sweetheart, your Aunt and Uncle are probably the bravest people I know, and I can guarantee you, they get scared sometimes."
He looked to his Aunt and Uncle, "Really."
"Of course" Matthias said, "Do you know how many times I have gotten scared?"
"But you are the big army guy who protects Arendelle…you're not supposed to get scared."
Matthias smiles softly at him, "I fought many bad people bud…and before every battle…I get a little scared…and I am going to let you in on another little seceret" he looked between Elsa and Anna and winked. He leaned in and whispered, "Elsa still scares away my nightmares."
Elliot's eyes widened, "Really?"
Matthias nodded. Elliot looked at Elsa and gave her a giant bear hug, "You're the best scarer person ever!"
Elsa smiled and hugged back, "Your Uncle still scares all my nightmares away" she mumbled into his shoulder.
Together they all snuggled together in Elsa's and Matthias's bed together until…
"Elsa?"
"Yes Anna?"
"Why are you wearing Matthias's shirt?"
