… The castle was surprisingly green.

For winter.

Her eyes travelled across the hall she had just walked into upon exiting her chamber.

Was she suddenly in charge of doing the magic every winter now? She looked out the closest window. No, it was snowing and it was just inside the castle that looked like summer or the monsoon.

Elsa narrowed her eyes as she made her way down the corridor, sapphire orbs darting from left to right and back to left again, except when she heard a sudden movement or spotted something somewhere. As she approached a servant nearby to question, they would shiver in their uniforms and shuffle out of sight with their heads bowed down, causing her to raise an eyebrow.

Anna wasn't around and nobody was willing to come close to her to even serve her breakfast. What exactly scared them more than not serving their Ice queen? Not that Elsa ever had the intention of threatening them with their lives, but she was pretty sure the last time she heard gossip reporting from Kai, they were afraid of joining her non-existent collection of ice statues.

They were the servants, for Pete's sake, they knew her castle well enough and perfectly well she had zero. And that was probably the creepiest hobby she could ever picture herself having.

Something was up and she couldn't figure out what after today's pile of paper.

"Your majesty, there's a present by the castle doors waiting for you."

Elsa sighed. As if the winter solstice wasn't a bad enough thing, she already had hours less available to work with - despite being able to control snow and ice and all those cold things and having explicitly reminded everyone the cold wasn't a problem for her to stay up to work through. The present really could wait.

She shook her head against her hand, "Bring it to my-"

"Your majesty, it seems urgent."

What?

"As your personal carer, who has made sure you are who you are today, I would advise you to take a look at it first."

Elsa grunted and stood up. Her chair skidded against the floor, her only way of expressing the frown and snow she was trying as hard as she could to conceal. "Alright…"

Following Kai as they made their way down the stairs, Elsa noticed the man was at least five feet in front of her. All. The. Time.

Which really was peculiar considering he was never less than three feet away from her whenever he felt she needed her throughout the years since she struck Anna. Speaking of Anna… where was that-

Her hands fell by her hips as her eyes fell, her jaws following, aghast at what sat before her.

A pink box wrapped with dull green strips that itself were torn here and there Elsa honestly wondered for a moment if they were vines her citizens collected from the forest nearby or something.

… And why pink?

As she took a step closer (read: inched closer), she distinctly heard something coming from the box and almost hopped back. Glancing back at Kai who stood exactly five feet away, she gave an unsure look asking, 'are you sure', to which the man nodded with a smile. Creepy smile, Elsa decided.

When she was finally close enough to realise the lid was at her eye level, Elsa picked at it. Whatever this present is, she chanted to herself that she was going to be grateful to the Arendellers no matter what, and was more than eager to get it over and done with.

Slowly, bit by bit, she lifted the lid, evidently scared for whatever was going to pop out and eat her, Elsa peeked into the small tiny space when a shadow from inside jumped.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELSA!"

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" Ice flew out of her fingertips in shock and surprise as a pair of arms wrapped around her.

Out came Anna.

Of course it was Anna.

And then she broke into a laughter, her hands pulling her sister closer to her than before. "Oh, Anna…" She said with a relieved sigh as she felt kisses pepper her skin up her collar to her neck and cheeks. "Wait, Anna!"

"What!"

"My birthday does not equate to public display of affection!" She whispered harshly as she pushed her sister-lover's face a few inches in front of her to meet her eyes.

Anna looked at her smugly, with that confident and creepy yet dorky smirk she fell in love with. "Look up, silly." She said, directing Elsa's eyes to the ceilings.

Elsa raised an eyebrow at the raised finger, "Yes..?"

"It's a mistletoe! And your birthday."

Oh… That explained a lot. "So they're mistletoes…" She said in wonder, finally realising the culprit who made the entire castle green was her sister.

Anna rolled her eyes, "Yes… what did you think they were?"

"Moss." She deadpanned. Anna giggled at her response, saying something about silly queen but almost choked on her breathing at the unexpected hug, removing all distance between them. "Well I'm sorry papa didn't educate me enough about grass." She said, rolling her eyes. "So now where's my present?"

"Me?"

"Mistletoes and kissing you in public is my present?"

Anna nodded. "Uh...huh?"

"You do realise…" Elsa pulled Anna to aside, causing her sister to stumble out of the collapsing confetti-filled box. Anna almost spluttered at the sudden movement. "That mistletoes would mean I have to kiss anyone and everyone that walks by me, right?" She said before pulling Anna into a kiss who shoved her face away.

"Wait, what, really?! No!"

With her free hand, Elsa held onto both of Anna's hands together, freezing a pair of handcuffs on them. And as the younger sister struggled to break her hands free from the bittle cold, Elsa chuckled, confidence surging in her, she said, "Yes Anna... but it's okay, nobody dares come close to the ice queen."

A/N: Okay so Christmas is coming and there's another Elsanna week going on. It took me an entire night to get this out and I hope it's not too late. Also, I heard Elsa's birthday is on the 21st december (winter solstice?) and elsanna week starts on this day too, so... Tell me how it went.
