Meeting Anna

Ok so this is my first fanfic. I finally posted one. Finally. I hope you guys like this. Constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated since I've like, never done this before and I'm a total nervous wreck. So… yeah… italics are flashbacks.

Oh and I don't own anything. Except for well, an overactive imagination, a crappy laptop and time… a lot of time.

Oh and in case you didn't notice, this is an ElsAnna fic, though they're not sister's in this one so… you have been duly warned.

I'd met Anna in third grade. Or more, she met me. The memory is incredibly vivid though many years have passed. It was my first day, and I of course was dreading it, for I much preferred to live in the worlds depicted in my books and avoided socializing like the plague. My only friend was Olaf, a small raven haired boy with big glasses and an adorable chortle whom I had met in kindergarten and had been close friends with ever since.

I was on my way to class on that dreaded first day, avoiding eye contact with any that crossed my path, intent on placing one foot in front of the other as I made my way to my new classroom. So intent was I with my quest that I walked straight into someone who had been speeding down the hall, falling back with an 'oof' and dropping my books in the process. Straightening out my glasses and my braid I looked up and met the most beautiful pair of aquamarine colored eyes I had ever seen. And though I didn't know it at the time, I would be seeing much more of those eyes in the future.

"I am so, so sorry. I shouldn't have been running right? Isn't that a rule here? Come on, I'll help you up. You're- you're not gonna tell are you? I really am sorry…"

Elsa sighed and smoothed out the wrinkles in her navy blue skirt and light blue cardigan. "No I won't tell," she promised, smiling reassuringly at the redhead. "But you really shouldn't be running you know. If Principal Gothel catches you, you'll get in big trouble."

The little redhead's eyes widened. "I won't run anymore, I promise," she said, making an 'x' over her heart. Elsa smiled, despite her nervousness at having to talk with someone else. "I'm Elsa," she said, holding out her hand. The little girl giggled and took Elsa's hand, shaking it eagerly. "I'm Anna and you're really pretty Elsa. Do you wanna be friends?" Elsa felt her cheeks get hot at being called pretty and nodded. "Sure Anna. I'll be your friend."

"Anna! I swear to all that is good in this world that if you're still in bed you'll be doing the ice bucket challenge!" I called as I ran up the stairs. It was Anna's first day of middle school and my first day of high school and I didn't want either of us to be late. Anna's mother had agreed to let Anna sleep over the night before after I promised on my life that I wouldn't let her sleep in.

And that was a promise I intended to keep.

Rushing into my room I couldn't help but smirk at Anna's lightly snoring form, her red hair doing a great impression of a bird's nest, the tiniest bit of drool slipping out of the side of her mouth. Slipping out my phone, I snapped a quick picture. "Anna you need to get up."

"M'kay Els…" Anna mumbled, smacking her lips and snuggling deeper into the comforter. I sighed and slid my phone back in my pocket then walked over to the bed, throwing myself on top of Anna's body. "The sky's awake, so I'm awake!" I called out, laughing as Anna groaned and attempted futilely to push me off. "Elsa! Get off!" Anna grouched, and I relented a bit, rolling off the bed and taking the quilt with me. Anna curled into a ball as the cool air hit her skin. "Why's your house always so frickin' cold?" Anna groaned, covering her face with her pillow.

"'Cause the cold never bothered me anyway," I replied in my usual manner, tickling her feet and dodging a kick. "Up, now," I demanded through giggles as she continued to kick at me. "Come on! I'll make you chocolate chip pancakes." Just as I'd hoped, the mention of chocolate made her fly out of bed and into my bathroom in a red blur. "And bacon!"

Half an hour later I was downstairs plating up the last of the pancakes and bacon when I heard stomping. "I hate my hair," Anna grumbled as she sulked into the kitchen. "I think it's pretty," I replied simply, having had this conversation with my best friend over a million times. I set a plate of food in front of Anna and took the seat across from her with my own, digging into my breakfast as she continued to pout.

"I hate my braces."

"They're coming off in six months."

"I have way too many freckles."

"They're adorable. They suit you."

"I have no friends at that stupid school and you'll be going to high school." So that's what was bothering her. I chewed what I had in my mouth and said "You have Kristoff and Rapunzel, Eugene and Merida. And I'm right across the street. Only a text away if you need me."

"You'd really come if I texted you?"

"Of course."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

There was a moment of silence between us, the only sounds in the room being the ones of silverware clinking softly against the plates.

"Elsa?"

"Hmm?"

"You're my best friend."

"Yeah, I know."

"Anna? Anna are you up here?"

Elsa climbed into their tree house, the sound of sniffling alerting to the presence of a tiny yet feisty redhead. She found Anna sitting curled up on her beanbag chair, her arms wrapped around her knees, her forehead resting on her forearms. Crying. Anna was crying. Anna never cried. Anna was the one who was always stood up for everyone and for what she believed in and who was friends with everybody who met her, even the old homeless guy that lived in the park.

"Anna, what's wrong?" Elsa asked as a feeling of dread building in her chest. "What happened? Why are you crying? Are you hurt?" She slid onto the beanbag and pulled Anna into her lap, the redhead going willingly and shifting to cry into Elsa's neck. "H-Hans," Anna sobbed, wrapping her arms around Elsa's shoulders. Elsa frowned. She never liked that dude. Like ever. "What did Hans do? I thought you liked him? I thought you were going to go on another date this weekend?"

"M-me to-too, but t-today he was s-so mean in fro-front of all the other k-kids and…" Anna hiccuped and sobbed some more, and Elsa just rubbed her back gently, trying to soothe her. "I'm sorry Anna. It's ok now… everything's going to be ok. I've got you," she whispered. "Do you wanna tell me what Hans said?" Anna continued to cry for a bit before responding "Y-you remember how I told you that I did-didn't let him kiss me after the m-movie last Friday?" Elsa nodded, running her fingers through Anna's loose hair. "W-well, at school t-today he sa-said that he didn't know w-what he was th-thinking da-dating me when he really j-just thought that I ta-talked too much and had w-way too many fre-freckles." Elsa growled. No one talked to Anna like that. Especially not about her freckles. "He s-said I was a waste of his time and that h-he deserved b-better." And with that, Anna started sobbing again.

Elsa let her friend cry, pushing her anger at Hans aside for a minute so that she could focus on consoling her friend. "Anna, look at me for a second," Elsa said softly, using her hand to lift Anna's chin. She looked into Anna's eyes and frowned when she saw how red they were. "I want you to listen to me, ok? I want you to listen really, really well right now because this is important." When she could tell she had the sniffling redhead's full attention she said "Anna, you are one of the most beautiful, caring, amazing, selfless girl I have ever met. You are loved by anyone who really gets to know you because you're real, because you genuinely care about people and you never give up on them. You're smart and you're talented and you've got a smile that lights up a room. And if that douche bag Hans can't see that, then he does not deserve you. You're the one that deserves better. Because anyone that doesn't see what a treasure you are, doesn't deserve your time."

Anna was quiet for a long time, only blinking slightly. Then she said "You really mean all of that?"

Elsa nodded. "I really do."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"You're my best friend Elsa."

Elsa smiled. "Yeah, I know."

"I can't believe it's graduation day already! Can't you smell the excitement Elsa?"

I chuckled at Olaf's elation as we headed for the classroom we were all supposed to meet in before the ceremony. "You mean the sweat and nerves, Olaf? And… old gym socks, yeah, definitely gym socks." I giggled at Olaf's infectious chortle and then continued on to the classroom, my heels clicking on the linoleum tiles.

"I gotta say Els, I didn't think you could clean up so well."

I turned towards the familiar, flirty voice to find Anna leaning against the wall, wearing her famous leather jacket, a green tank top, dark skinny jeans and black Converse. Her red hair fell over her shoulders in soft waves that curled at the tips, the single blonde streak glistening proudly in the florescent lights. I didn't know when Anna had gone from being my best friend to a really hot potential girlfriend, but I was enjoying every minute of our flirting, even if I hadn't exactly worked up the courage to ask her out. Officially.

"Right back attchya Christiansen. Hot date later?" I asked, walking over to her, making sure to put an extra bit of sway in my walk. I watched her eyes follow my hips and couldn't help but feel a bit smug. I was finally at a point in my life where I felt confident in my skin and with my body. I knew I looked good right now. I'd let Belle and Meg come shopping with me for this dress and the little black dress I was wearing at the moment showed just enough skin to tease and still leave a little work to the imagination. And Anna sure looked like she was imagining.

"Nah, just dinner with a friend," Anna answered after giving me a very deliberate once over. "A friend huh?" I asked, leaning against the wall next to her. "Yeah. I've known her for like forever and she's crazy smart and super-hot and we kissed once."

I bit my lip to hide my smile and felt my cheeks heat up at the mention of our first, and slightly drunk kiss. "She sounds interesting," I replied. "How come you two aren't going out?" I knew I was dancing on a thin line here but it was the best way to ask without actually asking. I was confident, just not 'ask-a-totally-hot-girl-who-also-happens-to-be-your-best-friend-out' confident. I'm working on it. So sue me.

Anna looked straight into my eyes and smiled in that way that had me sweating and shivering all at the same time. She pushed herself off the wall and sauntered off, turning to say over her shoulder "I'm waiting for her to make her move."

The music was ridiculously loud and the room was hot and damp, everyone moving together almost as one body to yet another thumping techno beat. Elsa weaved through the writhing bodies, a red Solo cup in her hand with some sort of drink that she couldn't even recognize. She hadn't really drunk that much but she was slightly buzzed, just enough so to giggle when she was pulled into a shorter and very warm body.

"Hiya stranger."

Elsa giggled again, looking down into aquamarine pools. "Hiya back. Are you having fun?" The redhead pressed against her giggled in response and took another sip of her drink. "Way too much." Elsa frowned. Anna shouldn't be drinking. Before she could protest though she felt Anna slide up against her, and hot breath on her ear. "Dance with me Els."

Elsa felt herself being pulled into the throng of bodies in the center of the room and she gulped down the rest of her drink before letting Anna push against her, their bodies grinding together to the slower, deeper beat that was playing. She bit her lip as Anna pressed into her, wrapping her arms around the redhead's waist and pulling her even closer. She leaned down and whispered "God, Anna. You look so good like this."

Anna bit her lip in response and lifted her arms to wrap them around Elsa's neck as they continued to dance, or grind together as it were. Elsa leaned down and inhaled deeply, letting the smell of strawberries and cream seep in and invade her senses, making her moan and kiss the smooth neck of Anna's skin. She felt Anna's arms tighten around her neck and placed another open mouthed kiss on her neck, her head spinning when Anna spun in her arms and pressed the fronts of their bodies together.

Elsa met the hazy aquamarine orbs and though every logical sense in her body and mind was screaming at her to stop, she leaned and pressed their lips together, tasting Anna's strawberry lip gloss. She began to pull away when Anna didn't respond but was pleasantly surprised when Anna pulled her closer and kissed her back, their lips meshing together sloppily. After a few moments they broke apart, and Elsa rested her forehead against Anna's, their breath mingling.

"Hey Elsa."

"Yeah?"

"That was good."

"Yeah, I know."

"Well, you're officially survived freshman year Anna Christiansen. What are you going to do now?" I smiled at my redheaded friend and handed her a Styrofoam cup. She giggled and accepted the steaming hot chocolate gladly, taking a sip and humming contentedly. "Well, before taking over the world I'd like to get a car… and go to Disney world!" I chuckled, taking a sip of my own hot chocolate. We sat in silence looking over the city, the stars sparkling brightly above us. We'd discovered this little spot back in my freshman year of high school and it had become our favorite spot ever since.

Other than the tree house of course.

"So what about you?" Anna asked, turning to me. "What about me?" I replied, taking another sip of my hot chocolate. "I mean, you've always talked about getting out of Arendelle, of becoming something bigger than this town, of running your own company. And now you've finished high school. So, what's next for Elsa Anderson? Surely there's nothing here worth staying for."

I felt my chest tighten and she set my drink down. "I actually wanted to talk to you about that." Turning completely towards Anna, I continued. "All my life, ever since I was little, I dreamed of getting out of Arendelle, of making a name for myself, of being someone. But I realized something." I leaned forward and tucked a strand of Anna's hair behind her ear. "I realized that all that is pointless… if you aren't around to share it with me." I gazed into Anna's eyes, watching them glaze over with tears. Then I continued. "Anna, you're my best friend. You know everything about me, you have been with through the best and the worst… you're kind, you're sincere, you've got an amazing sense of humor… you're selfless… you're you. And you're beautiful. And there is no one else I can think of that I would want to be with more. Even if that means staying in Arendelle."

Anna sniffled and released a watery laugh. "So- I guess you kinda like me huh?"

I chuckled, cupping Anna's chin in my hands and resting our foreheads together. "No Anna. I love you." I paused for a moment and then pressed my lips to the Anna's gently, allowing her to respond slowly, feeling a sense of release as our lips moved together in almost perfect sync. I pulled away when the need for air finally won out over her need to kiss Anna. It almost lost. Pressing our foreheads together again, I pressed as smaller kiss to her light pink lips, reeling in our closeness.

"Hey Elsa."

"Mmhmm?"

"I love you too."

I smiled. "Yeah, I know."

So… what'd ya think?
