Snowflakes Fall and So Did I

~CHAPTER 93~

~Elsa~

*Later that evening*

After we had settled in, we had dinner in the hotel's restaurant, much to the relief of my uncle, who did not want to venture beyond the hotel's perimeter. Anna was the opposite, though. She wanted to start her birthday activities as soon as we finished eating. Unfortunately for her, her birthday isn't until tomorrow, so all her activities have to wait.

"Elsa, please make sure that the boys return to their rooms before midnight," my aunt tells me as we step off the elevator to return to our rooms. "I know this must be one big quadruple date for the eight of you, but I booked two, two-bedded rooms for a reason. There will be no privacy for any couple."

"Unless we decide to take turns," Anna jokes, causing Kristoff to choke on air.

"Anna," Arianna says in warning, shaking her head and holding back a laugh as Kristoff continues to joke, much to everyone's amusement.

"S-She's kidding," he stammers out, "I would never–" his voice cracks, and he clears his throat, making Anna smirk.

"Oh, never say never, my love," she kissed his reddening cheek, and while my aunt was smiling, my uncle was not.

"Elsa," he says, "forget about the boys. Make sure she," he points to Anna, "stays in the room after midnight. Pull an all-nighter if you must."

"Don't worry, uncle," I assure him as I flash Kristoff a friendly smile. "You can trust Kristoff not to open the door for her."

"Affirmative, sir," Kristoff adds.

"Hey!" Anna yelps, playfully glaring at us. "You two are no fun."

"I could have told you that," Jack pipes in, sending me a wink.

"I take great offense to that," I jokingly replied.

"As do I," Kristoff adds.

"Well, you can cry about it later," Flynn says before rubbing his hands together. "Because you guys are going down when I beat you in Uno. How's that something to cry about?"

"Pah-lease," Astrid joins the conversation now. "I'll be winning every game we play."

"Yep," Hiccup says with a sigh, "we're definitely getting kicked out for a noise complaint."

I'm not sure how much time had passed by the time we were ready for bed. All I know is that we played five rounds of Uno, two rounds of Charades, and one round of Cards Against Humanity. Astrid and Flynn were going at it at pretty much every game, but the best part was that neither one of them won any of the rounds of Uno. Charades was split up between boys and girls–both of us winning once–and Cards Against Humanity was won by Hiccup.

Which was surprising to me. I genuinely thought Jack would have won that one.

"I'll beat you tomorrow," Astrid says to Flynn as the eight of us put the cards away. "I was just rusty tonight."

Flynn rolls his eyes. "Girl, bye. You sucked ass tonight."

Astrid waves him off. "Sounds like you're projecting."

Flynn gapes at her, and as he opens his mouth, Rapunzel puts her hand over it to shut him up. "I think the two of you bickered enough tonight, don't you think?"

"Oh, I can go all night," Astrid replies, smirking. "It's annoying, but I never back down."

"Well," I decided at that moment to jump in before Flynn could tear his mouth away from my cousin's hand, "on that note, let's take a pause on the bickering for tomorrow. It's 11ish, and the boys have somewhere to be. I'm pretty sure Frederick will be stopping by as soon as it turns midnight."
