“Please.”



“No.”



“Please.”



“No.”



“Please.”



“No.”



“Look, the sun’s about to come up, alright?” Elsa grumbled, rubbing at her temples tiredly and resolutely ignoring the thief’s smug smirk. At least she could take comfort in the fact that the redhead looked just as tired, with bags under her eyes from their chase all over the city for the whole night.



“If you let me bring you in, I’ll pull some strings and work out a deal in your favor.”



The thief laughed, though it probably would’ve sounded better if she wasn’t just as tired as Elsa. “Doesn’t sound professional of you, officer.”

“I’m exhausted, you’re exhausted, and my shift’s not over until I bring you in,” Elsa growled, blue eyes narrowed into frustrated slits. “At this point, I’m willing to try anything if it means being able to go to sleep.”



The redhead grinned. “Anything?”

Elsa stirred from the depths of sleep, blearily blinking her eyes open to see sunlight softly streaming in from the windows of her bedroom. As she sat up, the blanket slipped off of her shoulder, tugging at her over-sized T-shirt and exposing her pale skin.

A snort beside her promptly drew her attention.

Elsa’s head snapped to the side, blue eyes immediately honing in on the figure of the woman sleeping next to her, red hair a ridiculous mess, and button nose cutely scrunched up as she continued dreaming.

The blonde stared for a moment longer before sighing heavily, reaching a hand out to brush a strand of hair away from the thief’s mouth. Without anyone to see, Elsa allowed her gaze to soften, fingers brushing delicately against a freckled cheek.

The thief–Anna, her mind gently reminded her–had requested something surprisingly simple: a place to sleep for the night…and cuddles. It was certainly one of the more interesting deals Elsa had come across in her entire career.

And in the cover of darkness, with a trembling arm loosely wrapped around her waist, and a face buried in her back, tears wetting the fabric…she hadn’t been able to begrudge Anna for her unusual request. Unfortunately, now it put her in a far more difficult situation than before.

It was one thing to harbor a crush on Anna ever since their first breathless meeting at a diamond showcase four years ago.

It was another thing entirely to pull some strings to have the charges against her dropped.

“Mmm…Elsa…?”



But it could be worth it, she thought, trying not to smile at Anna’s sleepy tone or at the hand groggily searching for hers to hold.
