"This is Merida. I'm not here. Be quick about it. Or if your name's Jack, fuck off."

You have 47 voice messages from: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III

At 2:40 PM: MERIDA YOU SNEAKY HARLOT!

At 2:41 PM: I'M NOT EVEN GONNA START WITH THAT MESSAGE. YOU'VE BEEN DATING A GIRL FOR WEEKS AND DIDN'T GET THE NERVE TO TELL ME? DIDN'T EVEN HIT ME UP WHEN YOU WERE STILL TRYING TO FLIRT WITH HER? DISG —

At 2:43 PM: Got cut off. DISGRACEFUL! I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAD TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS FROM ERET. ERET!! THIS IS EMBARRASSING.

At 2:44 PM: HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HICCUP TO BE QUIET ABOUT IT?! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?! — Babe, it's not that big a deal — YES, IT IS! MERIDA HAS A GIRLFRIEND AND EVERYBODY KNEW BUT ME! I'M THIS CLOSE TO BREAKING UP WITH YOU — JACK. —

At 3:15 PM: Okay. I'm calm. You're not off the hook though because nobody would tell me anything else except her first name so you BETTER call me immediately and tell me everything. EVERYTHING. Better yet, treat me to pizza or something . . . Really happy for you, though! It's a big deal because she's your first girlfriend! Bye, Merida!

MERIDA LIES DOWN on her sofa after a huff. There's doughnuts on the table, sunlight shining through her window, Elsa's lap beneath her head, and the remnants of Jack's dramatic outbursts echoing through her living room.

Elsa is playing with her hair when she laughs. "So that's Jack. He sounds nice."

In her inability to not mirror any emotion on Elsa's face, Merida smiles too. "He's annoying. But he means well, I guess."

"In his defence, I'd be annoyed too if my unromantic friend suddenly thought someone resembled the moon — which, that was a reach but I'm deeply flattered." She bends down to kiss her.

(When Hiccup told her about Merida's gay panic, Elsa couldn't stop smiling for the whole day that her cheeks hurt.)

Merida smiles against her lips. "Don't act so clean now," she says when Elsa pulls away. "Anna told me about your spotlight thing."

Elsa raises her chin, about to defy, as Merida sits up. The sun is on her directly now, her hair filtering for her eyes. Elsa forgets what she was supposed to say and gazes at her softly instead.

Merida blushes. "Geez, you were saying something?"

She doesn't move, save for her mouth. "I take back nothing. You're heavenly when you're under the sun. It's like the world wants my eyes to only focus on you."

Merida chortles. "If I'm heavenly then you being like the moon isn't a reach."

Elsa hums before looking away and hugging a pillow. Merida misses it, a bit, her attention. "I can't believe they meant nothing."

"What?"

She looks back. "The arrangements."

"Hey. Yes, they do. Just to us, I guess. It's cute that we both went there. I love that they always meant something."

Unable to help herself, Elsa leans forward a little and says, "You're so cute, I could kiss you."

To her delight, Merida doesn't move and only smirks. "Do it, then."

And she does. Gladly.
