The jumping around thing I kept mentioning? Yeah, it starts for real now. Have some fluff.

A hand laid itself against her head, amazingly cool for once. It was an odd sensation, novel and soothing.

“Jesus, Elsa you’re burning up.” She giggled at the voice, what a notion. Her, the Ice Queen, burning. Freezing was more of her thing. But again that hand felt so cool she nuzzled into it. Whimpers escaped her throat when the hand pulled back. But it brought something better, a damp cloth that was gently pressed to her neck.

She moaned and tried to curl into Anna. Because who else could it be? She wanted it to be Anna if it wasn’t, and if it was then she was glad. Anna didn’t move, didn’t flinch or retreat, letting Elsa hook her knees into her side as a blonde head managed to find its way onto a lap.

“We gotta cool you down.”

“No, no. Can’t. Too dangerous.” Moving she rolled so she could place her hands into her armpits, well away from any flesh but her own. Her powers were bad enough when she was coherent, but here and now with Anna in the room? She would die first.

“Shhhh.” Fingers ran through Elsa’s hair, gently fighting the tangles and giving the occasional scratch. Opening her eyes she sighed upon seeing teal eyes. It was Anna, good kind Anna. Anna said something else, but Elsa was too entranced by the sensation of nails in her hair.

That was when Anna started to leave, to go away. Frightened Elsa tried her best to pull Anna into the bed, but her arms felt like noodles.

“I’ll be back. Don’t worry.”

“Promise?” She couldn’t be like… she would come back. Trust. She would have to trust. It took a while to calm down, to focus on relaxing each muscle that wanted to tense and cramp up. But that was easy once she gave back into to the blurry sensation of swimming.

There was no way to tell how long Anna had been away. But her reappearance was marked by the return of the cloth on her forehead, freshly cooled. Then gently Anna pushed something between her teeth. At first she tried to clamp onto it, surprised.

“Come on Els, I need to take your temperature.” The scolding was more amused than harsh. Opening her eyes she managed a groggy groan before Elsa accepted it underneath her tongue. The hands were back, scratching their way through her hair and over her scalp until they tickled the curls at the base of her neck. A few seconds later the thing beeped, making her realize just exactly what it was.

“There we go, a hundred and two. Gotta keep track of that okay?” The thermometer was replaced with a small cube of ice. It was almost painfully cold on her tongue but Elsa didn’t really mind, she just curled into the comfort. Letting the ice melt as the liquid flowed down the back of her itchy throat.

The body moved, pulling her up so her nose was placed against Anna’s own neck. It took almost thirty minutes, Elsa feeling limp and having to be maneuvered like a life-sized rag doll, but the end result was worth it.

“Go to sleep Els. I know you aren’t, you snore.”

“Mmmh.” Elsa really wished she was a bit more cognizant. Then her grunt might have been a lot more convincing argument instead.

“How about a cute fanfiction? I know a super adorable one that’ll put you right out.” A hand hid her eyes from the blindingly bright phone screen, as Anna started in. Blankets were pulled up and tucked in while Elsa felt her conscious slowly fade away. The words of some story pulling her into a dream of ponies and purple moons.
