The Moons Mission /Jack Frost and Elsa Modern AU

Chapter 10

It's Saturday. The day Elsa and I will meet. I've set my alarm to 11:30 am, just so I can get dressed and make sure everything's looking nice when Elsa arrives.
The last few days we've occasionally talked in the breaks, the other times I'd spend them reading while she draws.
I've learned that her favourite genre to read is fantasy, just like mine. She promised she'd bring a selection of fantasy movies, some of them animated ones, which means that there aren't actual people who play the roles instead the people and environment are made with drawings and computer animations. It sounds very interesting.

I read more and I've noticed how there often is a romantic relationship between the main characters or the main character and someone else.
But I think I figured something out when I read that one part of a book:
"He makes me happy, in a way no one else could. We have this connection, when I'm with him it feels like I'm where I belong. We can talk about anything, and he is always honest and understanding. "Then her father says "You love him, don't you?"

The main character pauses for a second to think about it. But then she says "I do. I really do. I even get nervous around him, I could watch him as he does anything and he is beautiful to me. Sorry, I'm rambling."
"No that's great. Love is something great and powerful. Do you think he loves you back?" "I don't know.. I really hope so. Well from the way he behaves he must like me.. he does things for me he would do for nobody else. Even when he's sad he does everything to make me not worry." "He puts your happiness before his?" "I think so.." "Then I really think he loves you. If you're ready Id advise you to tell him." "You think so? I want to know, you're right. I'll have to talk to him."

That's what I read. And I think might be falling in love with Elsa. She makes me really happy, we do talk about anything and I feel like we even have a connection. When our hands touched in the park.. I know I felt something. It couldve just been my imagination but what if it's not? And just like the main character I think she's beautiful no matter what, I haven't seen her when she just woke up but I'm pretty sure she would look really cute then.

But does she love me back? She's a very kind person. She would be nice to anyone which is why I'm not completely sure about it. But then again I'm the only one who regularly talks to her, who's her friend. That could be because of her aunt of course, maybe she'd have more friends if her aunt allowed it. Even then, why would she still talk to me? And even meet up today? Is it just pure kindness? Or could it be something more..
Eventually I'll find out.

For now, it's time to prepare the kitchen for cooking. I put away the cleaned up and now dried dishes from yesterday and look at the clock. In five minutes she should be here. I look around the house. I put away a book here and there and make sure the pillows on the sofa look good.
Then I hear a knock on the door. Elsa. That has to be her. I open the door and see her standing there. Her long shiny hair in a ponytail, not in a braid like the other times before.

"Good morning Jack."
"Morning Elsa, come in." I tell her as I make way for her to come in and close the door behind her. She puts down a backpack. "I'll just, uhm, put that in the living room if that's ok with you." I offer. "Sure go ahead." She says as she gets off her shoes, I put the backpack away and then return.
"How about a short house tour?" I ask her smiling.
"That would be nice." She responds. I missed us being this close to each other. In school we didn't do that for a long time since people would look, we'd keep a little more distance. But here we can be as close as we want. It's just me and her now.

"Ok come with me. Here's the living room, the place I put your backpack."
"You have quite a few books don't you. She tells me as she points towards the book filled shelf. I nod.
"And one of the most comfortable couches you'll ever see."
"Is that so?" She asks and jumps a little to sit down on it. Why does this look so cute?
"It really is comfortable." Then she stands up.

"Your house looks cosy. Not as modern as ours but honestly I prefer a more personal place over something big, as long as the place has meaning it can be a great home."
"I feel the same way. I really like my house because of all my stuff and the memories I have in here. But now let's go in my room, there's more of my stuff."
I walk and she walks right beside me, I can feel her looking up into my eyes.. What may she think about me? I won't read her mind, no. I want to gain her trust as a human I don't need those abilities for this, I don't want to use them.
It's more fair this way. She can't read minds so why should I? But I have a mission. But the man in moon said it's not necessary which is why I'll try my best not to use them.

We're in my room now.
"Here it is!" I tell her and look down at her. Our eyes meet.. Had she been staring at me the whole time? I got lost in thoughts, I don't know. She looks like she snaps out of thought, then she looks around.
"Wow. You have many CDs as well. And even more books." I watch her walking towards the CDs. "That's... that's sleeping at last? You actually bought a CD from them?"
She gets the CD package and looks at it in surprise.

"Yeah. I told you that song you showed me.. It really got to me. So i went out to get the CD. The one with the song you showed me on it. And I really like every single song. Thanks for showing me this music Elsa, it has a big value to me."
She smiles at me "And it has a big value to me that you bought it. You're.. caring. But I'm very glad you like the music that much, that's something we both share."
She smiles at me and puts the CD back.

I remember that connection I felt when we touched hands as she gave me one of her headphones.. Maybe today I'll have a chance to find out if it really is there?
I realize I just smiled at the floor for a little time.. Argh, say something, Jack!
"What's your favourite song from the album?" I ask her
"Mines Arctic.. But also Saturn.. I like them all but those two really get to me. The melody in Arctic and the atmosphere is beautiful.. And Saturn has amazing lyrics. It makes you be grateful for simply living."
"Yeah that's true. It's all so peaceful."

"How about your favourite song? You can do an instrumental and one with text as well of you want." Elsa asks me, I look at the CD, then outside the window. "My favourite instrumental one is Arctic too. And the lyrics one would be Venus. I just find it beautiful how an astronomer.. finds love, that's what the songs about right?" I feel myself blush a little.. Oh no. But I had to tell her the truth. In fact, I always think about her when listening to that song.

"Yeah, at first I didn't understand the story but I know it and I think it's really well portrayed." I look at her and she lifts her view from the sky to me. Then I look down at the floor. I'm nervous once again.

"What other music do you like?" She asks and turns around to look at the other CDs. I walk a little closer to her and tell her "Mostly rock and indie stuff. I don't really like the pop songs, the popular stuff because.. I don't like the lyrics or the sound of it."
"Neither do I. We have similar music taste, you know, I've got some songs of the CDs you bought on my phone too."
"That's really cool." We definitely have a connection. But it's just through our music taste.. But it's something right?
Elsa and I look at the CDs for some time then she puts them away.

"Wanna see the kitchen? We can make breakfast then " I ask her.
"Yeah let's go, I'm getting hungry!"
"Me too!" I tell her as we arrive there.
"You don't have as much equipment as we have but I prefer that.. Only having the necessary things and not some knife for every different kind of cutting something and stuff like that."

"How many knives do you have at home?"
"I think 8 different kinds.."
"Whoa that surely are many, I don't think I would be able to remember what knife to use for what kind of food." She laughs. I love when I can do that. Make her laugh. "I only have 2 different kinds, one for vegetables and fruit and one for bread."
"So what options do we have for breakfast?" she asks me.
