Frozen Destiny: A Jelsa Tale Written in the Stars (One Shot Stories)

Tangled Emotions

The atmosphere was filled with laughter and excitement as friends and family gathered for a lively game night. The living room was adorned with cozy blankets and pillows, and a bowl of popcorn sat in the center of the coffee table. It was a perfect setting for a night of fun and bonding.

Anna, full of energy, teamed up with Kristoff, eager to win the game of charades. Jack found himself partnered with Tooth, their camaraderie evident in their seamless communication. Bunny and North formed a dynamic duo, while Elsa reluctantly joined forces with Hiccup, feeling a pang of jealousy towards Jack and Tooth's obvious enjoyment together.

As the game progressed, Elsa couldn't shake off the feeling of being left out. She observed Jack and Tooth, their laughter filling the room, and her heart clenched with a mix of longing and frustration. Every time they shared a knowing glance or laughed together, it felt like a dagger piercing her heart. Hours passed, and Elsa's emotions weighed heavily on her, making it difficult for her to continue the charades.

Feeling overwhelmed, Elsa excused herself, claiming exhaustion and retreated to her bedroom, seeking solace within the confines of her personal space. Little did she know that Hiccup had noticed her sudden departure and grew concerned for her well-being. He decided to follow her, determined to offer her comfort and support.

Inside the room, Elsa stood by the window, her back turned to Hiccup. "Elsa, what happened?" he asked gently, stepping closer.

Elsa turned to face him, a forced smile gracing her lips. "It's nothing, Hiccup. Just a momentary discomfort. Please don't worry about it."

Hiccup's concern deepened, his eyes searching hers for any hint of the truth. "Elsa, I can see that something is bothering you. You can talk to me. I'm here for you."

Elsa hesitated, her gaze faltering for a moment before she averted her eyes. She couldn't find the courage to reveal the real reason for her unease. "I appreciate your concern, Hiccup, but really, it's nothing. Just a passing feeling. I'll be fine."

Unexpectedly, Hiccup took a step closer, his hand gently cupping Elsa's cheek. "Elsa, you don't have to face your worries alone. Sometimes, sharing them can lighten the burden. Trust me."

Elsa's breath caught in her throat as Hiccup's touch sent a wave of confusion through her. She couldn't deny the warmth that radiated from his touch, but her heart remained entangled with conflicting emotions.

Before Elsa could gather her thoughts, Hiccup leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, a gesture filled with comfort and concern. Elsa's eyes widened in surprise, her mind reeling with conflicting emotions.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Elsa, Jack had noticed her disappearance from the game and grew concerned. He couldn't bear the thought of her being upset or hurt. He quietly made his way to her chambers, hoping to find her and offer his support.

As he approached the room, he caught a glimpse of Elsa and Hiccup engaged in conversation. His heart twisted in anguish as he watched Hiccup's lips meet Elsa's forehead in a tender gesture. Unable to bear the sight any longer, Jack turned on his heels and left, his footsteps heavy with a mix of sadness and resignation.

In Jack's mind, he couldn't help but question his place in Elsa's heart. The sight of her with someone else, even in a seemingly innocent moment, ignited feelings of jealousy and insecurity. Perhaps, he thought, Elsa was better off with Hiccup, someone who seemed to understand and comfort her in ways he couldn't.
