[Chloe can't help but laugh into the kiss as Anna goes for the second one. Chloe moves up a hand to cup Anna's cheek for a moment, closing her eyes and just letting herself enjoy the moment.

This is great. This is better than she dreamed. Is this the universe apologizing? Because it feels like the universe apologizing. Something working out for her for once?? Not that's fucking strange.

When Chloe pulls away again, she's laughing again because she had a thought.]

Oh man, your present was not gonna make sense if this didn't happen. Talk about awkward.

[rediscover]

[This is so nice. Anna can't help but flash back to her first kiss with Kristoff, and while that had seemed so big and all-consuming at the time, kissing Chloe makes her realize that something had been missing.

Chemistry? Is this what chemistry is?

When she pulls back and hears Chloe laughing, Anna sits back on her heels and shakes her head.]

Wait, wait, what d'you mean?

[hellablue]

[That is very much what chemistry is and Chloe is feeling it too. Now that all the tenseness is fading away, Chloe is realizing that for once there isn't a sense of danger attached to this.

Well, aside from the fact they did break into the pool room but that's minor danger.

There isn't an underlying fear that someone is going to get shot, there hasn't been a murder, there isn't a tornado about to sweep through the town. For once, she can just...

Enjoy something??

It feels weird. Good weird, but. Weird.

Chloe sits up properly and crawls over to grab the two presents that had been momentarily forgotten. She scoots back over and holds out the lumpy present.]

It's better you see for yourself. And like, keep in mind that I... got it at the height of our little misunderstanding. So.

[She's rambling a little. It's fine.]

[rediscover]

[As much as she's excited to actually open gifts, it comes at the price of Chloe moving away from her, and Anna has to remind herself not to be clingy. Nobody likes that, right? But she takes the present, after attempting to wipe off her wet hands on her own thighs, and giggles as she starts to pull the paper off.]

Okay, okay, I'll keep that in mind—woah!

[It's the most beautiful sweater she's ever seen in her life, and the words on it are now a thousand times funnier now that she knows that it would have gone straight over her head ten minutes ago.]

Chloe, this is incredible!

[hellablue]

[Listen, Chloe would never judge you for being clingy. It's how she is too.

She can't help feeling vaguely nervous as Anna opens the present, but honestly it becomes even funnier now that it came out Anna had no idea what she meant. So... really she has no reason to feel silly about it.

Though she isn't expecting Anna to say that about it. Chloe lets out a nervous laugh and shakes her head.]

It's not that great, but- I'm glad you like it. I just figured, y'know, it's colorful. It screamed "you" when I saw it.

[rediscover]

[Anna's grinning brightly as she looks over the designs knit into the sweater, and even if she feels a little stupid for having misinterpreted so many cues for so long, honestly? It helps. The sweater helps.

Chloe helps.]

It's perfect. I'm gonna wear it out in public, you know! Like, where people can see!

[Anna gives #nofucks.

She sets the sweater gingerly aside, out of the way of any puddles of water, and then grabs the tin and eagerly shoves it at Chloe.]

Your turn!

[hellablue]

Oh, how scandalous of you!

[Chloe can't help but tease her a little, but the truth of the matter is she's incredibly glad that Anna is so appreciative of the sweater. She knows it's a silly gift, but she's glad Anna is actually going to wear it.]

Is this the puppy I've always wanted?

[Chloe pulls off the ribbon from the tin and opens it quickly- inside is even better than a puppy. She has a feeling she knows exactly what these are.]

Do these have what I think they do in them?

[A grin is spreading at the thought. Oh Anna, u naughty girl.]

[hellablue]

[Chloe was already sitting down, but she has to stand up and sit back down all over again because boy that was.

Unexpected.]

[rediscover]

[OKAY SO NOW ANNA NEEDS TO SIT DOWN BECAUSE UH

THIS IS A LOT.

This is not a conversation she was expecting to have anytime soon, and especially not with Chloe, and suddenly she's glad they're not face to face because she's pretty sure her face is about to burst into flame.]

[It's not a conversation she expected to have either?? IT WAS A JOKE. SHE WAS JOKING.

[rediscover]

[Anna giggles, pushing her wet bangs out of her face, and shakes her head.]

Not quite...Although now I'm going to look out for a Lillipup for you!

[What if they got matching Lillipups.]

It sure does! Someone told me it was a thing, and I thought, well. Who else would appreciate them as much as you do?

[hellablue]

[no no no of course she hasn't. Chloe is just being awkward.]

[hellablue]

[What if that was very gay and what if yes]

Holy shit.

[Is this real life? Did her new girlfriend really get her edibles for Christmas? This is all a dream, isn't it? She's gonna wake up in a few minutes. This can't be real life.

Except it is. Wow.

She's gonnaaaa. Eat one right here, right now. Just pop the whole thing in her mouth.

Through a mouthful, she says,]

Thank you! [Did you understand that? There's a Lot in her mouth.]

[rediscover]

oh no no don't worry!


oh my gosh
Chloe

[Anna lets out a startled laugh, watching Chloe pop that cookie right into her mouth.

She's so cute????]
