Okay, I've been meaning to post these for a while and now the first is done. They say to celebrate the small achievements so, yay!
High School AU
Elsa sat on the floor in the bathroom stall, her back against the door. She had a wad of toilet paper pressed against the gash in her palm.
There was a tap on the door.
"Elsa?"
Anna was still there which may or may not have been a good thing. At least she hadn't run to tell everyone what a freak Elsa was.
Anna knocked again.
"Don't go anywhere, okay? I'll be right back."
She listened as Anna left. Elsa didn't expect her to come back.
She pressed a hand to her eyes. What would her parents say when they found out? It had taken moths of begging before they had agreed to let her start high school. Before that she'd been taught at home.
The last year had been the best of her life. Of course she kept to herself, didn't join any after school programs, but she was finally around kids her own age. It was all over now. Once people knew, her parents would pull her out, maybe even move. And Elsa would spend the next three years finishing school from home.
It was her fault for not being more careful. Don't get involved, don't get noticed, and keep your emotions in check. How many times had she been reminded by her parents?
She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her head on them. Don't cry, don't dry, don't cry, she repeated to herself. She could feel the tears coming anyway.
Elsa jerked upright, heart pounding as the bathroom door opened. If anyone saw the sink and mirror…
"Elsa?"
It was Anna. The knots in Elsa's stomach loosened a little and she wiped at her eyes with her good hand. She had come back.
"Here, I thought you could use these." She said.
Elsa twisted around. Anna was crouched on the other side of the door, under the edge Elsa could see the toes of her floral boots and her hand which held a Band-Aid and a disinfectant wipe envelope.
Elsa took both with a small smile Anna couldn't see.
"Thank you."
Elsa could hear the smile in Anna's voice when she answered.
"You're welcome."
Silence descended and Elsa bit her lip while she worked at cleaning and bandaging her hand. She didn't know what else to say. Part of her wanted to fling the stall door open and beg Anna not to say anything but a larger part of her was too scared.
She was pulled from her thoughts at the sound of Anna's voice.
"Will you come out now, please? I have something to show you."
Elsa sat and rubbed her thumb over the band-aid on her left palm and hesitated. She would have to come out sometime though and Anna didn't seem to me leaving anytime soon.
Slowly, Elsa stood, stuffing the wrappers in her pocket and brushing off her skirt. Taking a deep breath she turned and slowly opened the door.
Anna stood on the other side with a smile on her face and her right hand behind her back.
Elsa hesitated in the doorway, wary of what Anna was hiding.
"Ready?" She asked, barely contained excitement in her voice.
Elsa clutched her hands together and nodded.
Anna brought out her hand and opened it. In her palm was a small flower bud. She cupped it in both hands and as Elsa watched it slowly began to bloom. In a few seconds it had opened into a full flower.
Elsa's apprehension was replaced by amazement. She looked at Anna wide-eyed.
"You have powers too." It wasn't a question but Anna nodded anyway. And in that moment Elsa knew her secret was safe.
Please R&R, it's nice to know what people think
