Hey guys, this is my first foray in writing so be gentle. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
It is Elsanna (kind of) so if it's not your cup of tea, help yourself to the 'x' in the top right of the screen :)
It was a sunny Sunday. Elsa wakes up begrudgingly to an alarm that wasn't supposed to be set on a weekend. 'Who the hell set my alarm?' she wonders, 'Oh right.. It was me.' Tiredly, she gets up and stops the alarm 'What was I thinking, setting it for 7:30 am?'
A pleasured groan escaping her lips as she stretches her back. She removes her pajamas and ponders on what clothes to wear, settling for form fitting dark-blue jeans and a dark-green T-shirt. She smiles to herself, 'I wonder if Anna will like the shirt. She likes me in green after all.'
After she's pleased with her clothes she goes about cleaning up her room "Right, that's why I set it so early. I need to clean up this mess so we can spend the day here." she mutters. Cleaning her room takes about an hour, satisfied with it she heads down to the kitchen to make herself something to and is surprised to find her Mom just finishing making breakfast.
"You're up early Elsa. What's the occasion?" Idunn questions innocently. Knowing there's only one reason she would get up early on a Sunday.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to clean up my room. Anna is coming by later today." she tries to respond casually, but Idunn could hear the excitement in her voice "What are you doing up early? Isn't today your day off?"
"Oh, right, you mentioned that yesterday." she says coyly "Also yes it's my day off, but I just wanted to have breakfast with you." she smiles sweetly, while setting up the table for them to eat.
Taking her seat Elsa eyes her mother suspiciously 'She's up to something.' She glances at the plates on the table and sees pancakes 'She knows I love them.'
"Is today special? Why the pancakes?" Elsa asks cautiously. Most of the times her mother made pancakes was on a special day, and as far as Elsa was concerned today was not a special day. Except maybe for the tiny fact that Anna was going to spend the day here. But that shouldn't matter to her unless 'Does she know? No, no, I shouldn't be paranoid. She has no idea I'm kind-of-maybe-sorta-definitely in love with Anna.'
Idunn sets down her portion and sits across from Elsa. "Nothing special, it's been a while since we've had breakfast together so I figured why not. Plus we haven't talked properly for a week and I missed you." she smiles warmly to which Elsa blushes slightly.
"I missed you too." she answers while smiling slightly. 'I guess I don't have to worry about her knowing.' she concludes while she eats her pancakes with honey, now the smile bigger than previous.
"You like the pancakes, huh?" Idunn smiles good-naturedly. "I'm glad I still have it in me."
"Of course I like them, you always make them the best." she assures her mother. "So how's work? Anything interesting happening?"
"There's always something interesting happening at the hospital, but nothing that should be mentioned over breakfast." she replies with a lop-sided smile. "After all it would spoil your appetite." she jests while taking a piece with her fork.
Elsa snorts "Nothing could keep me from eating your pancakes, and that was one time 4 years ago. You know I'm not so easily repulsed by that anymore."
"True, but still I'd rather we talk about you." Idunn smiles deviously to which Elsa almost chokes earning a laugh from her mother. "Oh don't worry it's nothing serious, you're always so cute when you panic. I just had to." she says while getting up to set the plate in the sink for later clean up. Seeing her daughter calming down she smirks and asks "Although is there a reason you would panic?"
"N-no, why would I panic?" she says with a pitch a little bit higher than she intended. "You just caught me off-guard. Yep."
Idunn amused, decides to let up on the teasing for now 'I wouldn't get anywhere if I continue like this.' and settles for "I see. Well how is school?"
Elsa sighs internally 'Well that was almost disastrous. Good thing she bought it.' finishing her last pancake she gets up with her plate in hand and goes over to the sink to start washing the dishes.
"Nothing much, I don't have any problems with classes." she says drying off her plate and now washing her mothers' plate "It's pleasant learning about all kinds of things, but then again you know I like learning." that earns a slight laugh from Idunn.
"That's true, you were always a child who wanted to get as much knowledge as you could. I'm glad as you grew up that interest didn't wane."
"I guess I like learning things too much." Elsa shrugs now finished with the dishes "Should we go to the living room?" to which her mother nods.
They head to the living room and sit on the couch, Idunn motioning for Elsa to sit next to her "I haven't had my hugs in a while, come here." Elsa smiles bashfully and gladly obliges, snuggling up to her mother she sighs happily "I missed you mom."
"I missed you too, sweetie." she replies while stroking her head. They stay like that for a few minutes each content to be in the arms of the other. Idunn sees the clock showing 9:30 and asks Elsa "When is Anna going to be over?"
All she gets from Elsa is a light snore. A warm smile slowly developing on Idunn's face 'Well, I'm glad I can still calm her to sleep, even at this age. I guess I could let her sleep for 10-15 minutes, I doubt Anna will be over before lunch.' she muses while stroking Elsa's hair lovingly.
After fifteen minutes pass Idunn peers down to see Elsa's face and sees the small smile, which in turn causes another warm smile to bloom across her features. 'I have such a beautiful daughter.'
Placing a kiss on her forehead she gently whispers "Wake up, honey."
Elsa stirring a little, yawns "Oh, sorry I fell asleep Mom."
Idunn chuckles "It's okay, it's been a while since you were asleep in my arms. I've forgotten how nice it was."
Elsa blushes slightly and kisses her mothers cheek "If you want we can make it more frequent. I wouldn't mind, after all, I love you." she smiles widely
"I'd like that very much." she answers returning the smile and tearing up a little "I love you too sweetie. There's no one I love more than you."
Elsa a little startled asks "Are you okay Mom? What's wrong?"
Idunn starts stroking her hair again "Nothing sweetheart, I'm just happy I have you." she wipes away her tears and smiles sadly "I'm just sorry your father isn't here to witness what a wonderful person you grew up to be."
She hugs her mother tightly "I miss Dad too." tearing up a little herself she mutters "I'm glad you're my mother, and I wouldn't trade you for anyone else. I love you." Idunn touched by her daughters words returns the hug and starts crying, whispering "I love you." over and over again.
After a few minutes Idunn and Elsa calm down, separating themselves from the heartfelt hug. Idunn cups Elsa's cheeks and gently wipes the tears away with a smile, Elsa responding with a smile of her own.
Clearing her throat Idunn asks "When is Anna coming over?"
Elsa glances at the clock on the wall seeing it's almost 10 answers "Around 11:45. Why?"
'I guess now is a good time as any.' Giving a lop-sided smile Idunn says "Just asking to know when I should give you two some space." to which Elsa turns bright red and gapes at her.
"Wh-Why would we need s-space?!" she stammers.
"Honey, you don't have to hide it, I know you have a crush on Anna." Idunn smiles softly.
"I don't have a crush on Anna." Elsa says clearly, now calm but still red from the accusation.
Idunn a little surprised by the confidence raises an eyebrow. 'She doesn't have a crush on her? But I thought that- Oh. Oh, so she doesn't have a crush on her.' she grins making Elsa gulp audibly 'I see.'
"I see, I didn't know you were in love with her." she concludes which makes Elsa get redder than before.
"I-I-I'm n-not in l-love with A-Anna." she stammers avoiding eye contact with her mother 'Oh god, oh god! She knows! What now?'
Seeing that her daughter is panicking she quickly hugs her again and starts stroking her hair 'I guess I couldn't tease her as much as I wanted.'
"Honey, it's okay. I didn't mean to tease you so much. I'm sorry."
Elsa calming down a little asks "How did you know?"
Idunn chuckles "How not to know. When Anna would come over, or you mentioned her you would light up and smile so wonderfully that it would be hard not to know."
"I'm that obvious? How didn't Anna notice then?"
"Well, when it comes to someone you like or love you might not see some things which are obvious. In Anna's case it would be that you love her, the same way she loves you." she says expecting a reaction, but when she doesn't get one she concludes "So you know she loves you too?" Elsa's only answer is a nod "Why haven't you done anything then?"
"I don't know, I guess I'm scared." she starts "She kisses my cheek randomly, she hugs me randomly and whenever she has free time she comes and hang-outs with me. I think she does all of that because we're best friends, but then sometimes she smiles this loving smile, kind of like the ones you gave Dad, and at those times I'm scared that it's just my imagination" a sob escapes her lips at the last word "because I want to see it as that kind of smile. I love her so much. Whenever I'm around her I feel like I can do anything." tears slowly trailing down her cheeks "I just don't want to lose her." Idunn once again gently wipes away the tears "I love her so much Mom."
"I see." she mutters while she continues wiping the tears from her daughters cheeks 'I had no idea she was so in love. I guess I can't tease her now.' the thought caused her to chuckle which in turn earned her a questioning look from Elsa.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking I couldn't tease you now that I know you were in love." she answers stroking her cheek lovingly, now devoid of tears.
"Um, so.." she starts but stops. After a few seconds of silence Idunn cocks her head in questioning. "So you don't mind that I'm..in love.. with Anna?"
A heartwarming smile envelops her mothers face "Now honey, why would I mind that you're in love with Anna? Because she's a girl? As long as that person can make you happy the way Anna makes you happy I don't care. I told you I love you the most in this world and I mean it. With all my heart."
Elsa's tears start once again - but this time of happiness - and lunges at her mother, hugging her with all her might.
A hearty laugh escaping from Idunn she returns the hug "Now, now stop crying otherwise Anna would think something is wrong, okay?"
Elsa nods against her mother's chest, but the tears won't stop. 'I've got the most wonderful mother I could ask for.'
Idunn continues to comfort her for a few minutes "Elsa, sweetie, have you calmed down?"
After not getting an answer she looks down and sees that Elsa had fallen asleep again.
Warmth washes over her heart and she tears up 'This child..' a gentle smile gracing her lips while the tears fall faintly 'This precious child..' She leans down and kisses Elsa's forehead as delicately as she can 'My sweet Elsa.'
'My world.'
So there it is. I didn't mean for it to come out this way, originally it was going to be light teasing on Idunn's side and would've continued with Anna arriving at the house and them going up to Elsa's room. I don't know how I got derailed, but I'm happy with the derailment.
I may write a second chapter that details their time in Elsa's room, but I'm generally a lazy person so don't expect much :)
A review would be appreciated. Have a nice day :)
Edit: Well, second chapter is being written. Stupid ideas.. Can't leave me alone.. With that said, expect the next part in the next few days :)
