Anna never seemed to notice the little things Elsa did for her. But then again, Elsa never seemed to notice the little things Anna did for her too.
Not that it was ever Anna's fault or Elsa's. Nothing ever was. Elsa never want Anna to notice the things she did for her, but Anna always wanted Elsa to notice.
When the girls were younger, Anna would make all sorts of crafts and put them by Elsa's door. (Most of them didn't look very good, but it's the thought that counts.) The gifts would always have sweet messages attached that would say something along the lines of, "I love you Elsa" or "You're my favorite sister." Elsa always took them in and put them proudly on display in her room (not that Anna ever got to see them). Anna always got simple, elegant gifts from Elsa on her birthday and holidays but Elsa never met her eye when they were handed over and she never stayed to watch Anna open them. The gifts would usually be books or a nice stationary set, none of which Anna would use. She would place them neatly on her desk, just in case Elsa would walk by and see how perfect that one little section of her room would look.
Anna never seemed to notice that there were extra pieces of chocolate on her plate, or that her slice of cake would always be a little bit larger than Elsa's. Elsa always requested to Gerda to let Anna have a couple extra sweets, a secret neither Anna or her parents knew about. Elsa never noticed that Anna would try to sneak extra chocolates onto Elsa's plate or knew that she would try to steal extra sweets to put by Elsa's door before being scolded by Gerda.
Anna never noticed when Elsa wore green gloves one time, which Elsa wore because she knew they were Anna's favorite color. Elsa never noticed when Anna light blue ribbons in her hair, which Anna wore because she knew it was Elsa's favorite color.
One day, Anna found a snow globe on her desk. But it was a snow globe unlike anything Anna had ever seen. The snow globe looked like it was completely made out of crystals or glass and Anna was afraid to pick it up in fear that she would drop it. But Anna carefully picked it up, inspecting the figurine of a snowman inside the snow globe, a snowman bearing a resemblance to one the sisters built together. (Not that Anna noticed.) But it was still the most beautiful snow globe she had ever seen. She was amazed that it looked like real snow falling inside the snow globe. But before Anna could see her name encrusted on the side, she was called down to dinner. But when she returned to her room, the snow globe was gone and Anna was confused of why there was a puddle of water in its place. She didn't notice the hopeful look in Elsa's eyes, waiting for Anna to bring up the snow globe, and never did.
On some days, Elsa would find a small white box on her table, which always meant a new pair of gloves. She always got a new pair every month since she would always end up ruining her gloves when her powers would seep through them. Elsa didn't bat an eye when she opened up the box to find gloves of a deep purple color, a color that their now deceased mother often wore. She didn't realize that the letters E and A that were elegantly embroidered on the back did not stand for Elsa and Arendelle. She didn't notice the disappointment in Anna's eyes when Elsa wore her normal gloves during their usual quiet dinners.
There were countless amounts of times when these little things would go unnoticed. More than anyone could count. But when the day came when the girls finally were together again, they noticed all of the things they never had before and more.
And they both loved every little thing about them.
