It’s early thirty in the morning where I am but hey, another one of these drabbles. As I’m still jumping I feel like I have to lay some context so here goes,

Elsa realizes her crush, kinda starts panicking about it and decides to shut people out as she tries to come to terms with it. Enjoy.







It wasn’t like she had barred herself in her room. She still went to class, forced herself to attend the play rehearsals and the student council meetings. The only real difference was where she ate and the amount of effort she was putting into avoiding a certain redhead. Considering the sheer stubbornness of Anna and her determination to corner Elsa, this was starting to become very difficult.

So when the weekend came by Elsa had decided for once in her life to be irresponsible, springing for a mental health day. The guilt was still there, but she was too relieved to consider it too much. There was a lot more she had to sulk and brood about after all. Like the stupid crush she had that just wouldn’t go away. Or the hyper sensitivity she had developed about all things Anna.

It was frustrating and scary. Even in the dark with her classical music blaring in her headphones as she laid in bed.

Elsa hadn’t really noticed Rapunzel when she came into the room. The headphones had covered the sound. However it was hard to ignore her when she bounced on the bed, nearly tossing her off. In one arm was a plastic bag and the other had what looked like bottles of chocolate milk, if the brown cow on the packaging was anything to go by.

Rapunzel had already started to make herself at home before Elsa could even pull out her earbuds. “Okay, no more moping. I let you get away with a few days but we gotta chin up, eat a lot of chocolate and get back to work.”

“Ra-.” She was interrupted by a piece of chocolate, her teeth biting into it as she gasped in shock. The burst of cherry filling mixing with the dark chocolate did more to quiet her then the act itself. Her mouth automatically closing over the sweetness as it melted onto her tongue. For a moment she enjoyed the flavor until she remembered exactly why she had it in her mouth in the first place. Rapunzel ignored the glares sent her way, her own return volley of a threat obvious by the second piece ready to be utilized in hand. So Elsa took the hint and stayed quiet.

“As I said. Chocolate.” Elsa finished chewing the piece, savoring the taste. When had she last indulged herself? Eying the sheer amount that Rapunzel had unceremoniously dumped onto her bed she knew that lack wasn’t going to last long. The two of them were going to be gaining several pounds each, but right now she didn’t care one cute bikini about that. Because happy endorphins and chocolate.

“Also, talking. We’re going to be doing that too.” Elsa tried not to snort, but her cousin caught sight of her face and used the large chocolate heart in her hand to gesture with. “Don’t sass me, I can tell something big went down.”

Her cousin probably had a good idea of how freaked out she was too, seeing how much chocolate was on her bed. Instead of agreeing or denying anything Elsa just swiped another piece, tossing it in her mouth and grumbling. Deep down though she was happy that Rapunzel cared enough to drag her out of her sulk for cheering up. It was annoying but heartwarming, which was a really weird combination. Though the chocolate was probably doing a lot for the ‘earning forgiveness’ portion of this scenario.

“So I know that somebody has a crush.” Though maybe not if she kept doing that. Elsa gave her a snide look, but Rapunzel remained unaffected, her smile actually growing in potency. Rapunzel held up a large sized chocolate heart, making heartbeat sounds.

Elsa responded by giving it a quick rap, breaking the hollow confection easily. In return her cousin made an exaggerated gasp, using her hands to quickly scoop up the pieces.

“How could you, you heartbreaker.” Elsa spoke quickly knowing that Rapunzel was going to find some way to use that as a lead in for a conversation about Anna.

So instead she took the initiative, jumping subjects willingly, “Where did you get all of this anyway?” She gestured to the chocolate, deciding that was a much safer subject to pick at.

“Discount chocolates after Valentines. Perfect time to stock up on emergency chocolate.” The answer was spoken like it was the most obvious thing in the universe. “And iIf realizing you’re in love with someone who may not love you back isn’t, then please oh mighty dictionary, define emotional stress for me.”

Once again Elsa took a piece of the chocolate and popped it into her mouth, letting her eyes close while she relished the flavor on her tongue. She felt Rapunzel get off the bed and could hear her fiddling with something by the desk. Curiosity begged her to open her eyes and find out what was going on, but she was determined to continue the bliss of the fine chocolate.

At least until she felt a laptop get placed on her lap. Blinking she noticed that the screen was showing the main menu of her favorite movie, a musical about star crossed lovers. The amount of surprise on her face must have shown since her cousin rolled her eyes as she spoke.

“Anyway, I will also be languishing during an afternoon of musicals for your entertainment. So it isn’t all Elsa-exclusive torment.”

“Whatever did I do to have a cousin like you?” Rapunzel only smiled at the question before unwrapping one of the more fancy chocolates next.
