Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope you are all having a blessed and wonderful holiday. As a Christmas present, I uploaded a Christmas super-fluff Jelsa oneshot, that takes place in the future of this story! It's super cute and there mayyyy or may not be a Jelsa kiss :D Please go check it out! Let me know what you think.
So I am traveling cross country for the holidays to visit family. Good news: I'll have tons of time on the plane to write! Bad news: I have no idea when I'll have wifi or time, since my family tends to take up my time, and so I have no idea when or if I'll be able to update. If I can't in these next two weeks, I promise I will post as many chapters as I missed the second I get home! Thanks guys :D
Super excited for this chapter. The drama begins!
Disclaimer: So... I asked for new combat boots and throwing knives and rope and a lockpicking kit for Christmas... :D my plan is underway! Soon Disney and Dreamworks, and thus Jelsa, will be mine! MWAHAHAHAHA
Elsa ran up the stairs of her dorm two at a time, too impatient to wait for the elevator to come. She tore down the hall, feeling her excitement bubble as she reached her door. Stumbling with the key, she managed to get the door open and tumbled inside, her book bag landing hard against her hip.
"I'm home!" Elsa shouted, greeted in return by the joyful calls of her roommates and best friends.
She dropped her bag, and followed the excited voices to Rapunzel's closet. Elsa joined in with the adventure of finding each girl a special outfit and preparing for the night that the group pushes toward every week: Salsa night.
It was the third week they had gone, and they were already in love. The girls made a pact with the four boys that they would go every week and use the time to decompress and have fun. The group passes off challenges of who can dance better, exchanges promises of dances, and plans the fun that will happen every week.
"You should wear your new black skirt Elsa! The high-rise, short one that swirls," Punzie order-squealed.
"I was thinking about it! I wanted to wear it with my black lace crop-top. Now, the question is, colored tights or black tights with colored shoes?"
"Hold on!" Anna shouted, as she tore through the apartment to her closet. She came back shortly holding a pair of cobalt blue tights. "These." She said panting, "You should wear these."
"With those cute ankle boots! And matching cobalt eyeliner! Perfect!" Punzie agreed.
Elsa laughed, "Okay, okay! Let me finish braiding Merida's hair." Elsa was taming the girl's unruly curls into a Katniss-style French braid across the back of her head.
Anna's phone dinged, followed by her excited squeal. "Guys! Guys! Hans said he would meet us there! It's perfect, we can celebrate our two-week anniversary at the place we met, with all our friends!"
Elsa smiled, "I'm so glad you are excited Anna, that's great." Elsa still had a bad feeling about Hans, as did Punzie and Merida, but they supported Anna and her decisions.
Anna bounced around the room in her navy blue dress with pink designs. The full, knee-length skirt twirled around with her.
"Anna, will you help me lace up my dress?" Punzie asked, coming into the room.
Anna turned, gasping at Punzie's dress. It was a light pink corset top with a flowy, high-low skirt underneath that faded to a lavender at the bottom. "Oh, Punzie, that's so cute!" She crossed the room, lacing up the back of Punzie's corset.
"Isn't it? I found the corset at a vintage store, and made the skirt underneath it! I just finished it yesterday."
The girls 'oooh'-ed and 'awww'-ed at Punzie's creation, excited that she was following her passion and creating something beautiful.
"It's adorable, Punzie. Nice job!" Merida praised. She stood up from the chair Elsa had her in, her teal tunic falling around her leggings. She looked at her phone, "We have twenty minutes until we need to leave!"
The girls rushed into a frenzy; clothing was flying, giggles were bouncing off the walls, last minute makeup applied.
Elsa's phone dinged when she was finishing her cobalt blue eyeliner. Jack's name popped up 'I'm super excited to see and dance with you tonight. Wear something pretty ;)' Elsa giggled at his antics and the repetition of what he said before their first salsa night. She typed back 'I always look pretty. Don't sass me Frost, or I'll destroy you!' Almost immediately, he replied: 'Ahhh so you're into the kinky stuff. Good. Me too ;)' Elsa laughed at his usual, blatant flirting, not sure half the time if he is serious or kidding. 'Wouldn't you just enjoy seeing how kinky I can be, dear. Too bad you never will! Haha, I'll see you in a bit :)' She turned the screen off and stuck it in her bag, just in time for Anna to grab her hand and drag her out the door with an excited squeal.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"You look stunning, as usual" Jack's voice appeared behind her, tickling her ear. He reached around her, setting the drinks in his hands onto the table. His now free hands helped her out of her coat and hung it with Anna's and Punzie's. "I hope you are in the mood for your usual: club soda with a lime."
Elsa giggled and was in awe of his thoughtfulness. "Nah, I wanted something a bit fruitier tonight, she said, watching as his face fell. She grabbed his hand, "I'm just kidding, Jack. This is absolutely perfect. Thank you for thinking of me."
Elsa then turned, giving Flynn, Hiccup, and Kristoff each a tight hug. She reached up and ruffled Hiccup's hair. "How's it going guys?"
They crew sat down, beginning to chat and catch up. Jack's arm fell on the back of the booth behind Elsa, and she looked around the table, seeing Flynn's doing the same with Rapunzel. She smiled at the sweetness of it, and giggled to herself at Hiccup's awkwardness with Merida. The poor boy definitely is in love with her. She caught his eye across the table, flashed her eyes at Merida and gestured with her head to the dance floor. He smiled at her, then leaned over to Merida, asking her to dance. Elsa smiled at Merida's excited acceptance and watched them walk to the floor.
Jack leaned over and whispered in Elsa's ear, "They are adorable together. I can't wait until they actually start dating."
Elsa turned and looked into his eyes, "They really are. Are you gonna ask me to dance, Frost? Or should I go dance with that lovely gentleman who has been eyeing me since I walked in?" Elsa asked, sending a wink across the room to said gentleman. Jack's brow furrowed, and he turned to glare down the gentleman that was moving on his woman, finding that no guy was looking at Elsa.
Jack turned around, an eyebrow raised at Elsa's antics. "Alright, princess. If you wanted me to dance, you can just ask rather than make me jealous."
"But what fun is that?" She smiled at him, "It is funny and adorable how jealous you got."
Jack got slightly flustered, "Dang it Elsa! Just come dance with me." He grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the booth to the dance floor just as a salsa song started.
Anna sighed in contentment, watching them run to the dance floor. She turned to Kristoff, "They are so damn cute together! When's Jack going to ask her out?
Kristoff watched them start to dance, their smiles big and eyes only for each other, "I don't know. I'm surprised he hasn't yet. He normally moves faster with other girls. I guess he is taking it slow, like he should be."
Anna pouted, upset at Kristoff's comment. "What, you think relationships will fall apart if they are taken 'too quickly?'"
"Well, yea. You don't even know who the person is! How can you know if you want to date them?"
"It doesn't matter if it's true love!"
"But the person is a complete stranger! You don't know if it's true love."
"Well, I do!" Anna shouted, slamming her hands on the table.
Just then, Hans slid into the booth and slipped his arm around Anna's waist. "Hi hot stuff," he said, pulling her face to his and giving her a lingering kiss on the lips.
"Come on Hans, let's go dance," Anna ordered, pushing him back out of the booth.
Kristoff huffed, putting his head in his hands. I just don't want her to get hurt. And this guy is going to hurt her. I have a bad feeling about tonight.
Moments later, after a sultry Buchata song, Jack and Elsa came back to the table laughing and flirting. Merida and Hiccup followed shortly, but Kristoff went to dance with Merida for a song. The group was rejoined by Punzie and Flynn, who and gone in search of drinks, and they were chatting again. Soon Kristoff and Merida came back, followed by Hans and Anna.
Hans approached Elsa, reaching his hand out, "May I ask the beautiful sister of my girlfriend to dance?"
Elsa turned, giving Jack a worried look, silently asking him to keep an eye on her. Jack, getting the message, gave her a curt nod. She turned back to Hans, placing her hand in his, "Yes, I will dance with you."
She trailed Hans to the floor, happy that there was a salsa song on, rather than buchata. Good, I can keep some distance between us.
Unfortunately, that was not Hans's plan. He still pulled her close, into the traditional ballroom position, with his hand lower on her back than normal. Too low for her taste.
Hans leaned forward, talking close to Elsa's face, "You know, I meant what I said. You are stunning."
Elsa turned her face, catching Jack's eye from across the floor, "Thank you Hans. But I don't need your compliments. Save them for Anna."
"I'm just trying to be friendly with the beautiful sister of my girlfriend. Besides, you were the one who caught my eye first." He drew closer, his grip tightening. "Actually, it's hard to talk in here, and I have something to talk to you about. Let's go outside." His hand incased her wrist, almost to the point of bruising, and he dragged her off the dance floor toward the door to outside.
"Hans, I really would rather stay . . ." She was cut off.
"This is important."
He pushed through the door, and the cold air hit Elsa in the face. She felt a sinking feeling in her stomach, hoping that Jack saw her get dragged off the floor. She couldn't make eye contact with him before they left.
Hans roughly pulled her toward him, pushed her against the wall, and slammed his lips to hers.
EWWWWW that was hard to write. Gross.
Don't worry, all will be resolved next chapter :D Everything will work out.
Review time! I'll go from chapter 11 since I missed last week:
Nayumizona: I am so glad you are enjoying the story! Thank you for the encouragement. I'm sorry I can't update faster... But they say good things come to those who wait ;)
OoPoPcAnDy: hehehe... Just a few crushes happening! And I'm glad you enjoyed my questions. Thanks for the reviews :D
That loser: Hello! Things are much better now. I couldn't wait for Christmas break either! I pushed through finals, handled emotional crap, and now I'm all better :D Thanks again for checking in on me. I'm glad you liked the chapter!
GoudelPrincess: I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I agree that they are adorable, and I can't wait to write them together! And here was your HANS. hehe
Randomperson: Thank you so much! I love knowing that someone thinks my story is five star :D I try to stay away from awkwardness and cliches, so I'm glad I'm accomplishing that. Thank you!
muggleborn11: I was actually considering having the guys seeing Jack and Elsa leaving, but I decided that I wasn't gonna make it more awkward than it already was... BUTTT it would be more awkward for them to see her leaving once they start dating... ;)
Shameless Girl: That's what I'm trying to do :D I want to drive people nuts here. It's killing me not to have them kiss! Like seriously. If I was Elsa, I probably woulda kissed him like twenty times over. And then again. Anyways, I'm glad you're enjoying it :D
Iheartjelsaandunicorns: I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for the review :D
