A/N: Hi, this is my first fic. I'm new to all of this so bear with me, please! I can't promise weekly updates or whether or not my chapters will be of consistent length, but I will try my best to satisfy your Elsanna needs to the best of my ability. :) I do not own Frozen. I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: Something New

Anna was always full of life and energy. At the tender age of sixteen, she was going to graduate with the senior class and go off to college with her best friends. Anna sported strawberry blonde pigtails as fiery as her rambunctious personality with a single platinum blonde streak, and turquoise blue eyes full of wonder and curiosity. She had freckles from her rosy cheeks all the way down to her shoulders! She was strong-willed, determined to do whatever it took to protect the ones she loves, and animated enough for the both of you. Her vigor and spirit were irreplaceable and that's what made her so loveable. The positive energy radiating off of her could turn anyone's bad day upside down. And here she was, waiting at the airport with her friends.

"Anna, look!" her friend Olaf exclaimed and pointed in front of them. Her gaze fell upon the beautiful woman heading in her direction.

She had ocean blue eyes. There was no other color that could take Anna's breath away. It could've been due to the fact that they belonged to a platinum-haired goddess that she luckily called her own best friend. But it was still a stunning color nonetheless. It was like the ocean—the universe—resided in her irises and she definitely owned it. And her hair... her hair, Gods, did Anna love it. It's not every day you see someone with a long, thick braid of delicate platinum blonde hair swept over their left shoulder and bangs slicked back with a small part resting atop the forehead. There were so many things to love about her. Her skin was porcelain and fair. She had a bodacious body and Anna could confirm that with brazen assurance despite the odd stares of strangers and, at times, friends. She had a light dusting of freckles on her cheeks, similar to Anna, though not as prominent. Just who was she?

"Elsa!"

A friendly smile crept upon the blonde's face as she turned to the strawberry blonde girl. "Hello, Anna."

Anna, flushed from the lack of breath during her sprint, hugged her favorite person in the world. "I missed you, Elsa Winters."

"It's only been a week, dork." Elsa leaned down so that her eyes were leveled with Anna's and lightly flicked her forehead. "I missed you, too."

"Hey! That's not nice." Anna pouted, her turquoise blue eyes staring intently into ocean blue eyes.

The older girl laughed and pressed a chaste kiss on the redhead's forehead. "Better?"

"Nope." Anna drawled and crossed her arms.

"You're greedy, Ms. Summers. You're lucky that I have a thing for redheads." Elsa cupped Anna's face and gave her a full kiss on the lips she missed oh so much before nuzzling her lover's neck.

"The only redhead you're allowed to have a thing for is me!" Anna growled as she gave the blonde another passionate kiss.

Someone cleared their throat loudly to clearly snap the girls out of their intimacy. It was Kristoff. He was always a partypooper.

"Of course I haven't forgotten about you, Mr. Bjorgman." Elsa grinned, nodding at Kristoff and Olaf respectively and embracing them in a group hug. "And you, Mr. Kollsvein."

"Elsa gives the best hugs!" Olaf asserted.

"No doubt here." Anna and Kristoff agreed in unison. Despite the cold nature of her skin, Elsa's embraces gave off a warmth that made you addicted, leaving you craving for more.

Elsa had just returned from a week spent with her family in Norway for jul—Christmas season—as per tradition. They weren't her real family though. Well, not biological. Elsa was adopted as a baby.

Her foster parents, Agdar and Idunn, were wonderful people, truly, but she always felt like she didn't belong, even with repeated assurances that they would always love her no matter what. Thankfully, she was neighbors with a spunky redhead that was always there from the beginning. Elsa loved her family, but they could never provide her with what Anna provided her: a genuine sense of belonging. She never had to question her position with Anna around. The same could be said for Anna because Elsa had changed her too.

Given her personality, it would be assumed that Anna always had a perfect life. But she had nobody when she first started school. Kids actually made fun of her at school and whenever they passed by her house. She would play outside on her front yard alone and cry to herself whenever some bully called out to her.

One day when a boy was standing mere inches from Anna and told her that nobody liked her, Elsa happened to be at the right place at the right time. Normally, she wouldn't have batted an eye because of her bashful, introverted nature, but seeing the younger girl quivering in front of her set off an internal fire.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Elsa snapped at the boy.

He flinched, unaware that someone else was around, and ran away.

Anna looked up at her savior, shocked that the quiet girl from next door had defended her.

"Are you okay?" The younger girl nodded, unable to form coherent words just yet. "He's gone now. My name is Elsa. What's your name?" Elsa bent down to observe the girl better.

"A-Anna."

"Nice to meet you, Anna." Elsa smiled and stuck her hand out. Anna stared at Elsa in disbelief as she took her hand.

"T-Thank y-you..." she sniffed.

"Let's be friends, okay?" Elsa said with a gleam in her eyes and a new confidence that she never had before.

"Okay." They both smiled as they each made their first friend.

Elsa was never braver than she was in that moment. Something about that day sparked something inside of Anna to stand up for herself if anyone ever bothered her again. Her new self-confidence completely changed her, or rather Elsa's rescue did. She was able to befriend others because she had a new spirit that ignited within her and it showed. However, Elsa fell back into her sheltered life with Anna as her only friend. She would occasionally protect Anna before Anna was able to fight her own battles but she never seemed to be able to do the same for herself. Elsa had her fair amount of bullying but she always ignored them, lacking the motivation or courage to speak up. Lucky for her, she had a best friend who was willing to do anything for her that she herself wouldn't hesitate to do for the other girl.

Elsa's single act of confidence was all too short-lived for some unexplainable reason but it gave Anna the push she needed to become the fire she was now, to give Elsa faith in herself, and to have all the love she could ever ask for.
