Saturday.

Anna sipped tentatively at the cool, crisp white wine that had she had been swilling around the large glass for over half an hour. The TV in the corner was blaring some ridiculous talent show, its strobe lighting projecting across the dark flat, as Anna sat cross-legged on the couch, rhythmically drumming her fingernails against the slender glass.
The air was particularly thick tonight, heavy and pressurising. The lack of air conditioning leaving the red head sweltering in cotton pyjamas. Stripy pants. Odd socks. Auburn hair braided neatly into to plaits, draped over freckled shoulders.
She swigged at the cool wine, hoping a fair amount would diminish the clumped feeling of despair clogging her throat. Hoping the alcohol would dry the emotion that willed to pour from her eyes.
She leaned forward, and gently placed the glass on the coffee table, before slumping down into the couch, and scrunching her eyes in discomfort. As another talent screamed from the TV, Anna sighed. Sadly, sorrowfully.

"I think you should go Anna…"

Anna balled her fists tightly, and pressed them to her heavy eyes.

"No! Anna, please…it's time for you to go. I'm…I'm sorry."

Anna sniffed. She could hear the echoing of Elsa's words from the night before penetrate her ears, flooding her memory. The pained expression drawn on the blonde's face would not vanish, not matter how hard Anna tried to eradicate it from her mind.
She couldn't understand. She was having such a wonderful time, and Elsa – Elsa had been laughing. Elsa had been dancing.

"Oh Anna! You are sprightly!"

How had it changed so suddenly? How had Anna managed to convince the shaking blonde to dance with her, and then suddenly be forced out – all in a matter of minutes?

Anna buried her head into a pillow, its silky smooth material cushioning the weighty tears that splattered from her eyes as she remembered Elsa. I'm so sorry Elsa. I didn't mean to upset you. I wish you would have told me what I did…

Anna had spent the day in a zombie-state. She had shuffled from bedroom to living area. Back to bedroom. Back to living area. She had napped twice, and allowed mindless television shows to numb her brain, hoping something would distract her. But when Anna closed her eyes, she saw Elsa. And when Anna opened her eyes, she thought of her too.

Around midday, Anna had almost plucked up enough courage to drive to Elsa's house. Apologies, and sentences fluttered around her brain like an angry swarm of bees, but nothing she conjured up seemed good enough. And seeing as the red head hadn't bothered to change from her pyjamas, she rejected the idea of walking to the promenade to collect her car after leaving it overnight.

So there she was. Squirming and writhing in discomfort on the couch, with her conscious frowning, and her stomach filled with nothing but sips of white wine. As her eyes continued to drip, her face still buried into the pillow, she heard the faint beeping of her cell, its vibrating motion shaking the coffee table. Anna struggled to sit, her entire body aching with exhaustion and pain as she retrieved her phone.

Hey babe, I'm about ten minutes away. Get a bottle of beer for me from the fridge I'm gasping. Tar xxx

It took several seconds, and a few re-reads before Anna's eyes comprehended the text. Oh shit, Hans! Anna glanced at the clock, noticing that it read 9.43pm, and threw her phone down on the couch, jumping to her feet she headed towards the adjoining kitchen.

"Oh my god, is that the time?" Anna rubbed at her eyes frantically, glancing at her reflection in the oven door, and retrieved a cool beer from the fridge. She sighed as she placed it on the breakfast bar, her eyes glancing at the glistening ring that perched on her finger.

"Ugh," Anna mumbled sadly, "I can't let Hans see me like this…" She rubbed at her eyes again, this time gently, noticing how they winced with pain the first time, and picked up the remote from the couch, flicking the switch. The blaring lights from the TV vanished instantly, and the living area was swarmed with darkness.

Grabbing a piece of paper and a pencil from the work top, Anna scribbled quickly and messily.

Hans,

I've had to go to bed –not feeling too good. Will be asleep by the time you get in. Don't worry about me, enjoy a beer and there's some pizza in the fridge if you haven't eaten.

I'll see you in the morning.

She paused for a moment.

Good night.

-A

Anna trudged heavy legs towards the bedroom, leaving the note under a magnet on the fridge, and closed the door behind her.

Saturday.

Elsa didn't venture from her room.

Her maid busied around the large house, vacuuming this, dusting that. She had been preparing lunch for most of the morning, hoping the smell would entice Elsa to come downstairs, and perhaps make conversation. But there was no sound from the bedroom upstairs. She dotted from room to room, humming loudly to whatever song she had heard that morning on the radio, but had paused after arriving at Elsa's bedroom door.

"Miss Elsa? "She tried nervously, tapping her knuckles gently on the large wooden door.

"Please Gerda…just…leave me alone…" Elsa's voice was thick, and slurred, although she had not consumed anything but water all day. Water and pills, of course.

Gerda dropped her head. Oh Miss Elsa, not again.

She was used to this. Used to Elsa hiding in her room, and on rare occasions, hiding for several days. When Elsa was particularly bad, she would refuse food, but Gerda always prepared something in hope. She always tried her best to coax the blonde to venture out, and in the last few weeks, whilst the sun had been high, asked if she had wanted to sit in the garden to do her work.
But Elsa always refused. When she worked, she stayed in her library. Door shut, curtains drawn.

The Doctor had spoken to Gerda on several occasions and asked if she could monitor Elsa, and although Elsa paid her for housing duties, Gerda often stayed much later than she needed to. She had grown fond of the blonde, and although Elsa spent most of her days locked in various rooms, she too was fond of Gerda.

But today Gerda knew she had to leave Elsa be. No amount of persuasion would bring the blonde out from behind the large door, and Gerda knew that behind the walls, Elsa was curled into a ball, sheets engulfing her frame. And although there was nothing she could do to stop it, Gerda knew that Elsa would be crying.

At 9.43pm, the maid placed Elsa's breakfast, lunch and dinner into the large fridge and sighed deeply. She retrieved a piece of paper and a pencil from the work top and scribbled quickly and messily.

Miss Elsa,

I have wrapped some food for you, and placed it in the fridge. Please eat when you are feeling up to it.
I will be back tomorrow. Please try and get some fresh air – it is good for you.

She paused for a moment.

I'll see you in the morning.

-Gerda.

Gerda regretfully trudged towards the front door, leaving the note under a magnet on the fridge, before heading outside.

Sunday

"Mmm, good morning beautiful."

Anna stirred from her sleep, the sensation of wet lips pressing forcefully upon her own. Rubbing her tired eyes, she shuffled against the covers, pulled tight from how Hans was leaning, his taught body heavy on top of her own. Opening her eyes, she glanced up at Hans, his grin spreading from ear to ear, as he leaned back to admire the beautiful girl beneath him.

"Hey you," he grinned, "how did you sleep?"

Anna propped herself back onto her elbows, arching her back to release the tension of being crushed by her fiancée, and sat up in the large bed. She raised her left arm into the air to stretch, her shoulder muscles straining in doing so, only releasing when she dropped her arm to stifle a yawn. "Hmm? Oh morning," she smiled timidly at the beaming guy, and scratched at the back of her head. "I slept fine thanks – oh! How was your trip?"

Hans slumped back on the bed, his heavy frame causing the red head to bounce slightly at the action of his back springing the mattress. "Oh, same old, same old. Boring buggers trying to convince me to buy one of their offers that will 'undoubtedly improve the company's shares'. I mean, you'd think…"

Anna's eyes lost focus, her irises noticing Hans' conversation whilst her mind drifted elsewhere. She nodded politely, but images flashed like lightening through the back of her brain. Blonde locks. A flicker of light as she blinked. Topaz blue eyes. A race of pictures ticked rhymivally as Hans continued his complaining. Creamy white skin.

"Mmm…" Anna hummed unconsciously.

"What's that? "Hans peered at Anna, shifting his frame up the bed, till his back was resting on the wooden headboard.

"Huh? What?" Oh god, Anna – what the hell? Stop it, stop thinking like that…it's…weird…

"Are you ok? You wrote on that note last night that you weren't feeling good. You any better?"

Anna rubbed at her eyes again, desperately attempting to block the image of Elsa's long, curvaceous frame descending the staircase two nights ago. Her voluptuous hips swaying in perfect rhythm as she walked. Left…right…left…She reached her hand down and rested it against her neck. And in a moment of flurry, she thought she could feel Elsa's warm breath tickle the outline of her golden skin, the exhalation prickling wonderfully on the curve of her collarbone.

"Earth to Anna!"

The red head suddenly snapped from her thoughts, realisation kicking her with full force, as her body reacted to the pictures flashing through her brain. A deep blush spread across her cheeks as she stuttered. Oh my god – stop it stop it stop it! "OH, god sorry…I was in my own little world– you know me," she giggled nervously, "and…erm yes, I'm feeling better now thanks. Was just a – a bit of a headache coming on…fine now."

A headache and a heartache. Wait –what?

The grin returned back to Hans' pale face, and as Anna peered at him, she once again caught something flash across his eyes. Something out of the ordinary. Like a flicker of dark that swirled in his pupils. But before Anna could comprehend what, it was gone. Nothing but green that twinkled back at her, his smile baring pearly white teeth.
"Good. So are you going to give me a kiss future Mrs Southern?"

Anna's eyes immediately dropped to the ring, once again sparkling magically on her finger. "He he, it looks…good doesn't it?"

Hans reached out a finger, and slowly traced the numerous diamonds that glistened against Anna's freckled skin. "Mmm, looks gorgeous," He wrapped his fingers around Anna's small hand, and lifted it to his mouth, peppering her knuckles with light kisses, "…just…like…you…"

"Hans – "Anna tried, but her fiancée interrupted, desire flashing across his face.

"I said…are you going to give me a kiss?"

Anna felt her heart pound. The hunger in Hans' eyes was different to what she had seen before. It was primal, his mouth practically watering in need, and as his hand rested upon her thigh, she could feel his fingers tightening; a vice like grip.

Jesus, that's painful! "Ow! Hans! That hurts!"

"Oh, come on! I've not seen you in two days…come on baby, give me a kiss." Without further hesitation, Hans launched forward, his lips bashing against Anna's in animal force. In reaction, Anna darted her head back from shock, trying to mumble something in between Hans' winning efforts. As she opened her mouth to speak, she felt a forceful tongue poke against her teeth, its motion swirling around her mouth as she squirmed uncomfortably underneath his strong grasp.
With a mighty effort, Anna snapped her head to the left, causing Hans to topple onto her body, his breath heavy and ragged.

"What the hell are you doing?" He breathed in a tone that made Anna unconsciously wince.

"My- my phone is ringing! Listen!"

Hans turned his head to the twittering bells that seemed to sing from the living area. With an exaggerated huff, he slumped back onto the bed, releasing his grip around Anna's thigh, and ultimately freeing her from underneath his grasp. With scurried movements, Anna sprung from the bed. As she scrambled to the living area, she stubbed her toe against the door of her bedroom, cursing in pain as she continued to shuffle along the floor.

"Hello?" She shouted breathlessly as she placed the phone to her ear.

"Anna, it's Kristoff. Listen girl, I knooow it's a Sunday, but I need you. Karen's called in sick, and we're a nurse short. You know I wouldn't ask but – oh my god, we're rammed today!"

Anna pinched the bridge of her nose in thought. "So let me guess, you want me to cover…?"

Kristoff's voice had a hint of begging in it, and the red head couldn't stifle a smirk at the tone. "It'll be couple of hours- tops! We've had two crashes this morning already, and three of the patients need half-hourly monitoring. I need you to come in and supervise meds – but I promise just for a few hours! Please, pretty pretty please!"

"Ooh, that's manly!" She joked, sensing a shadow flood the doorway behind her. She turned to see Hans peering cautiously, his torso bare. Checked pyjama bottoms riding particularly low against his hips.

"So you'll come in?"

Anna rolled her eyes playfully. "Yeah, go on then! I'll be about half an hour, is that alright?"

"You friggin'life saver! Owe you one girl!"

Anna laughed into the phone, delicately pressing the end call button, before placing it down onto the breakfast bar. She turned back to face Hans, automatically noticing a frown had spread across his forehead.

"Don't tell me you've got to go to work?"

Anna tucked a loose strand behind her ear, "listen honey, I've just got to go in for a couple of-"

"You ARE kidding right?" Hans strode purposefully into the living area, the force of his steps blowing a sharp air against Anna as he marched past her. He swung the fridge door open with force, and retrieved a carton of juice from the shelf, slamming it down on the work top. "It's a SUNDAY!"

"Hans!" Anna strained, her voice laden with annoyance. "Nursing is a full time occupation you know! Patients don't just stop being poorly because it's a SUNDAY "She crossed her arms in frustration, watching as Hans leaned himself against the worktop.

"Oh, stop sulking," she teased, trying to prise a smirk from his face. But Hans glared at her, his lips a straight line that lay parallel to the frown lines on his forehead.

"Who was that?"

"…What?"

"On the phone. Who was that…?"

Anna felt a nervousness flutter in her stomach. "Erm, it was…Kristoff…"

Hans straightened his back, and proceeded to walk from the kitchen. "You've got to be kidding."

"Oh Hans, grow up!" Anna couldn't hide the annoyance in her tone. She rolled her eyes defiantly at the man standing in front of her, his tall frame towering over her petite one.

"No, don't try and deny his huge fucking crush on you Anna, it's pretty goddamn clear! "Hans rubbed vigorously at the back of his neck, his eyes peering at the red head beneath him.
Once again, Anna rolled her eyes, something she knew wound Hans up, but in arguments, couldn't refrain herself from doing.

"Oh, for god sake! Kristoff is my best friend! He doesn't like me in that way –you need to get this out of your head Hans! Seriously, Kristoff has been my best friend for years – so just stop this jealousy! There's nothing to get upset about!" Anna felt her fists balling, her eyebrows scrunching tightly into a frown, as she watched Han's face soften. His glared dropped, and as he rested his hands on Anna's freckled shoulders, his voice was lower.

"Oh Anna, look…I'm sorry, alright? It's just…well, I should be your best friend now. It's me and you. We are getting married after all."

Anna dropped her gaze to the floor, and relaxed her stance under Hans' softer grip. "I know, I know, it's just-"

"I get a little jealous sometimes ok? I mean, you're so gorgeous – I can't help but worry that some tall, dark and handsome man is going to whisk you away! Because I want you all to myself," he chuckled light heartedly as Anna lifted her eyes to read his. "You're mine, Anna Spring – so I don't want some bloke stealing you from me. Got it?"

Anna giggled nervously, and shifted her shoulder so that Hans released his grip. "Yeesh, alright, I get you – loud and clear! Right, well I need to get going, I told them I'd be there in half an hour."

Hans turned to walk into the kitchen, jolting his head back slightly to call at the red head who began to busy herself around the bedroom. "So what you making for dinner tonight then?"

You are fucking kidding me.


"Ok Mr Meade, you're just going to feel a slight swelling around your arm as the cuff tightens," Anna leaned closer to the patient lying comfortably amongst the crisp, white sheets. "I know I've told you this a hundred times, but just to clarify!" She joked, smiling broadly at the man.

"Hey, you do what you got to do young lady – because you've been doing a mighty fine job so far." Mr Meade smiled up at the red head, who blushed slightly at the compliment.
Anna cleared her throat and began jotting down figures on the clip board, twiddling her pen for a moment, before glancing down at the man.

"Ok, so blood pressure is currently 141/87. Not too bad, and it's come down a great amount since your last admission, but there are some things I would like to suggest. "Anna placed the clip board on the edge of the side cabinet, and undid the pressure cuff from around Mr Meade's arm, before pulling the plastic visitors chair up to the side of his bed. "Mr Meade, you understand the importance of lowering your blood pressure since recently suffering from Myocardial Infarction."

"Ugh, god, don't remind me eh honey? No more bacon and eggs for my breakfast!" The man chuckled slightly, to which Anna couldn't help but giggle at his joke. However, she straightened her face momentarily, and leaned closer to the man, lowering her voice as she advised.

"Mr Meade, with a high blood pressure, you put yourself at risk of having another heart attack, and we both don't want that to happen now – do we?"

"No, no we don't."

"Ok, so we've been monitoring you, and so far your progress has been brilliant. The continuation of the Thrombolytic medication has proven successful, and has been targeting the protein substances that were causing the blood clots, essentially resulting in your heart attack." Anna reached for the clip board once again, and flipped the page from her patient notes, revealing an action plan she had made the week before. "Of course, Mr Meade, this is an ongoing treatment, and there are many things we would like you to do, to prevent this from happening again. I have created a list of foods I would like you to try – don't worry they're all delicious!" She winked at Mr Meade, who smiled back at her. "And obviously, a list of some of the foods we would like you to minimise your intake on."

Mr Meade took the paper from Anna's hand, and began scanning his eyes across the page. "Whoa…definitely no bacon and eggs! Looks like I'm going to have to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life!" He joked, his laugh baring his teeth.

"Of course not– you can still eat some of the things you enjoy, but in moderation. This is a list of things that I think make very good alternatives. This is all for your best interest sir. Of course the dietician will be round later to discuss exercises and a bunch of food she'd like you to eat," Anna arched her head forward, laughing as she did so and whispered, "but of course, my list is better." She smirked as Mr Meade laughed once again.

"You're a good girl, you. You really are – best nurse I've ever had!"

"Oh, Mr Meade, I'm sure you don't mean that." But Anna smiled, once again her heart-warming at her patients kind words.

"Anna?"

The red head shot round towards the door, her eyes automatically turning to see a nurse standing in the doorway, a tall figuring waiting patiently behind her dressing in a dark suit.

"Oh, hello–you must be the dietician?" Anna jumped from the seat, immediately returning it to its position in the corner of the room. "Well Mr Meade, it looks like I'm done with you today." She smiled politely down at her patient, who reached pleasantly towards her hand, giving it a brief squeeze, before adjusting himself further up the bed.

"Thank you, Anna. I shall see you tomorrow am I right?"

"Oh you certainly will – so no more heart attacks whilst I'm gone!" She joked, rubbing his arm gently, before turning towards the nurse and dietician who entered the room.

"Ok, so I've gone over the basic points of what Mr Meade needs to do. I'm sure he's got plenty of questions. All obs have been recorded hourly," she handed the clip board to the nurse, who took it with a grateful smile.

"Thanks Anna, you've been a life saver today." She said quietly.

"Ha ha, well you know me!" She grinned broadly, before giving Mr Meade a friendly wave, and heading from the room towards the nursing station.

"Right, Anna–I think you're ok to go now!" Kristoff boomed, lifting his head from the paperwork he was buried in.

"Oh? Ok, are you sure there's nothing more you want me to do? I mean – I can stay, only if you want me to of course, but if I'm in the way then-"

"Anna–seriously! Go home!" He laughed, his cheeks rosy from busying around the ward. Kristoff lifted his hand towards Anna, balled in a fist, as Anna raised hers back, bumping her knuckles against his in a friendly fist-bump. "You've been a star, as always," he winked, "but I shall see you tomorrow – bright and early! So go and enjoy the rest of the day!"

Anna glanced down at her fob watch, "3.15pm." She sighed, "and I bet Hans hasn't even thought about making anything for dinner." She rolled her eyes, trying to disguise her annoyance, but Kristoff peered at the red head with concerned eyes, his pupils darting across Anna's face, trying to read her.

"Everything alright girl?" He asked, as casually as he could muster.

"Hm? Oh –yeah fine, fine. Right, well I better get going then. I'll see you tomorrow Kris!" Anna turned on her heels, dashing through the busy ward before Kristoff could even speak a goodbye.

Through the corridors, Anna fumbled in her rucksack, raking the bottom, searching for her keys. "Oh for gods sake where are they?" She absentmindedly dodged a porter heaving a trolley, and veered to left, avoiding a collision with several visitors. As she darted outside the hospital down the entrance steps, her head still looking in her bag, she felt the cold metal of her keys grace her fingertips. "Got 'em –" Anna smacked straight into the back of a standing stranger, her body toppling over with the contact as she landed hard onto the ground. Her bum crashed onto the cold pavement. "WHA-HEY!" Anna shouted, lifting her hand to shield her eyes from the beaming rays of sun. She squinted desperately, her eyes adjusting to the natural light, as she scanned the figure in front of her.

"Oh my – I'm so sorry! Are you – are you alrigh – Anna?"

Anna's pupils dilated. She gazed upon the figure in front of her, the girl's body bent over with a hand reaching towards, the pale slender fingers extended to her. Anna's eyes dragged over the girl's body, drinking in the long, creamy white legs that stood over her, parted slightly, as she noticed each porcelain ankle was placed either side of Anna's legs, essentially straddling the red head. As she lifted her eyes, she gulped loudly as the porcelain skin ended, and a dark material began. It didn't take Anna a second to realise how high the material graced against the girl's thighs, exposing a sheer amount of lithe legs. Her eyes swam further up, over the creases of the dress, over the mounds of the girl's large breast, the sharp exposed shoulders, the slender curve of a china-white neck. Several strands of platinum hair draped loosely across the girl's cheeks like the branches of a willow tree, and with one final lift of Anna's eyes, she gazed into a sparkle of topaz blue irises.

"El-Elsa…?"Anna's eyes darted across the blondes face, tracing the outline of plump lips that were parted in shock, but painted in red. The contrast against her pale skin perfectly illuminating the girl's cheek bones. Her eyes were decorated darkly to match the navy shade of her dress, and as Elsa straightened her body nervously, stepping back away from the red head, Anna gasped unconsciously at the sight of the blonde. It was the first time Anna had seen Elsa's figure; each curve, each edge, the strikingly thin waist in contrast to shapely hips, and the red head's jaw fell slack as she graced her eyes across the blonde's body. The thin, dark dress clung to Elsa's curvaceous frame, and if Anna wasn't so close to the material, she could have sworn the dress was painted on. It was sleeveless, exposing long arms that connected to sharp, pale shoulders, but was high-necked, the material of the dress cutting a perfect semi-circle around Elsa's collarbones. The dress hugged against Elsa's hips as though it was part of her skin, and for the first time, Anna eyes were greeted with the delights of Elsa's figure. The outline from Elsa's large, voluptuous breasts curved dramatically to a slim, slender waist, before swimming outwards to form the most beautiful hips Anna had ever seen. The red head's eyes flicked from head to toe, back to head, back to toe. The perfect hourglass, she thought, her mouth distinctively drying from gaping open.

"Anna…I'm sorry…did I – hurt you?" Elsa's face was flooded with panic, and she unconsciously tucked a strand of loose platinum hair behind her ear.

Anna's eyes were lost in the sea of blonde locks that were piled into a loose bun on top of the girl's head. Most would call it a messy-do, but Elsa seemed to radiate perfection.

"Anna…?"

The dark flicks painted at the corner of Elsa's topaz blue eyes extended the length of her black lashes that continued to flutter with every anxious blink.

"ANNA…?"Elsa's voiced was brimmed with nerves, a slight high-pitched wobble as she expelled the red heads name.

"Huh- oh–sorry sorry! It was my fault! Oh my god…Elsa?" Anna scrambled to her feet, the sudden burst of standing causing her to wobble slightly on the spot, her body toppling towards the blonde, who immediately raised her arms to catch the red head. As Anna tumbled though the air, she caught the scent of Elsa's flowery perfume dance through her nostrils, only existing to cause an extreme head rush, ultimately relaxing Anna's muscles, making her fall harder. As her legs gave way, she felt her cheeks immediately cushioned by soft, warm skin; large and plump against her burning face.

"Oh GOD! I'M SORRY!" Anna cried, immediately retreating from Elsa frame, realising she had pressed her face into the blonde's voluptuous breasts. Anna felt her cheeks burn, a fire scorching against her neck as she scrunched her eyes in deep embarrassment.

Elsa froze, her eyes wide, and her mouth agape in shock. The blonde's arms were static, still positioned to catch Anna; locked in a robotic stance. She could feel her breasts swelling in reaction to Anna's buried cheeks, immediately feeling a heat engulf her usually cold skin. Something ticked between her legs, a warmth pressing lightly on the insides of her upper thighs as she watched Anna's scarlet face burn with embarrassment.

"Elsa, sorry–I didn't mean to…um fall….there….you know," Anna covered her face with her hands, trying to diminish the feeling of churning butterflies flitting around her stomach. As Anna removed her hands, she fanned herself with her fingers, desperately trying to cool the fire that burned against her face. "Whoo…ok, let's start again…" Anna bent down to collect her rucksack that had dropped to the floor, spilling the contents across the pavement in a dishevelled manner. As her body bent, the thin material of her blue scrubs slipped against her arched back, revealing a slither of golden skin, peppered with tiny red freckles.

Elsa swallowed, hard.

As Anna stretched to reach some papers that had dropped, the waistband of her scrubs strained, and a small pink triangle appeared against the freckled skin, with two thin pink strips stretching either side.

A thong –oh my fucking god! "Anna– please! Let me!" Elsa cried desperately, jumping to the floor to collect Anna's belongings. As she hurriedly scooped up papers, pens, a chocolate bar, some chewing gum, she could feel herself sweating and her pulse began to throb against her skin like an angry drum.

As both girls rose to stand, Elsa timidly passed Anna her belongings and smiled nervously, before dropping her head in embarrassment.

"Thank…thank you!" Anna spluttered, desperately trying to avert herself from staring at Elsa's perfect figure in front of her. She dropped her eyes, but felt herself flushed once again as she was greeted with the view of creamy legs. She lifted her head, but snapped her eyes to the left as she realised her gaze landed on Elsa's large breasts. Jesus, there's no winning! Where the hell do I look?

"Are you...ok?" Elsa asked shyly, her eyes flitting cutely across Anna's freckles, counting every one.

"Yes, I'm...great! It's so nice to see you - I've been thinking about you all weekend!"

"...You...have?" Elsa's eyes seemed to twinkle even brighter at Anna's words, and she felt a twitch pulling at her lips, desperately trying to prise a smile.

"Wh -well...erm, yes! I'm so sorry, Elsa," Anna stepped forward nervously, Elsa's perfume once again drifting over her frame. "I didn't mean to upset you, and I've literally spent the weekend wanting to apologise, but then I was worried you didn't want to speak to me," Elsa smiled watching Anna's hands fly about animatedly, her rambling starting once again. "But I'm so happy to see you..."

"...Me too."

Anna grinned desperately, her eyes lighting up when noticing a heavenly smile grace Elsa's rosy lips. "So...erm, what are you doing here?"

"Oh! I -er..." Elsa shifted, and immediately crossed her arms across her chest, looking down to avoid Anna's piercing gaze.

"Oh sorry, sorry - how rude of me. Of course, you don't want to tell me, I mean, I understand, especially if - ugh blah! Sorry, I'm rambling again!"

Elsa inhaled deeply, closing her eyes and quietly murmured "it's ok Anna...really."

Anna felt her cheeks burning once again, something she was beginning to realise was happening far too frequently in front of this blonde. "God, I'm such a klutz. Anyway, do you...erm...I don't know, want to go for...a...walk? I mean - it's such a lovely day! And, I've just finished my shift so I don't know if you want to...no, what am I saying. Of course you don't" Anna scrunched her eyes once more in frustration of how awkward she was becoming. "I mean, why would you-"

"Anna!"

The red head opened her eyes to find glistening blues ones peering intensely into her own. "...Yes?"

Elsa relaxed her shoulders, dropping her arms from the stance of being wrapped across her chest and smiled politely. "I would love to."


As the sun began to die in the distance, its heavy rays diminishing with every minute, the girls sat on the warm sand for hours. Anna was especially chatty. Her melodic voice twittering away like a bird singing a lullaby, as Elsa responded politely, giggling like a school girl as Anna animated every part of the conversation. When Anna's cerulean eyes lay upon Elsa's, the blonde averted her gaze. And when Anna lost herself in talk, Elsa would lift her eyes to stare at the red head.

Forty seven freckles on her cheeks, she counted.

"This is...so nice..." Anna smiled, tucking a loose strand of hair that fell from her bun behind her ear. She tugged shyly at the loose dress she had changed into before arriving at the beach, and she could feel Elsa's gaze boring into the side of her face. Anna glanced at the blonde and giggled. "What? What are you smiling at?"

Elsa cocked her head, and lifted a pale hand to trace her fingers along the intricate braid Anna had plaited across the top of her head. "This is lovely," she smiled passionately as she felt how soft Anna's locks felt beneath the pads of her fingers.

"Oh, thank you," Anna blushed.

"And you're right, this is...nice."

"It really is! Elsa...I really lo - like spending time with you."

"Me too."

The girls shifted nervously on the sand, neither one knowing what to say next. The beach was completely empty, not a soul to be seen across the lashings of sand, but Elsa liked it. She liked how quiet it was, but how loud Anna spoke, how interesting she was. The red head had told Elsa all about her family; how her parents lived abroad, how her car was her most prised possession, how she ate chocolate for breakfast. The way she laughed at the most ridiculous things like pets in clothes, or how Mentos exploded in coke. She mentioned that when ever she was feeling down, she liked to go swimming because the water made her relax. She told her she was a natural red head and had been teased about it in school, but had now grown to love it.

"I love your hair!" Anna blurted out, immediately breaking the silence. The sudden compliment made Elsa blush uncontrollably, as she nervously glanced at the sand beneath her.

"Oh? Thank you," she whispered.

"Is it natural - because wow, I've never seen a colour like that." Without thinking, Anna reached a finger to touch a strand of hair that was blowing in the light breeze. Upon twiddling the lock around her finger, she was once again taken aback by the silkiness of Elsa's hair.

"Yes, yes it is..." Elsa giggled as Anna's finger continued to play with the loose strand.

"It's...gorgeous - I mean, um, yeah." Anna removed her finger from around Elsa's hair, "so do you get it from your Mom or your Dad?"

Elsa's back straightened harshly, her lips drawing a thin uncomfortable line causing her face to suddenly stern. Anna immediately sensed the tension, but was unaware that Elsa's heart had begun to pick up its pace, once again beating like an angry drum against the walls of her chest. She felt a sickening pounding inside the curve of her mind and her eyes began to prickle, the corners stinging as they watered. The oh so familiar feeling of a ticking sensation across the inside of her skull, like an irritated cockroach that fluttered its legs across the curls of her brain.

"Elsa?" Anna began to panic, noticing that Elsa had changed again, and immediately wrapped her arm around the shaking blonde.

Anna couldn't understand. She wanted to, with every ache of heart wanted to know what was truly swimming around Elsa's troubled mind, wanted to know the source of the agony that she had seen so frequently plague the blonde's figure. Wanted to know, needed to know.

"It's ok, Elsa. I'm here if you need me…shh just take your time." Anna racked her brain, remembering relaxation therapies that she had studied her first year of nursing school. "Inhale…deeply, through your nose." Anna began unconsciously swirling her fingers across the length of Elsa's spine, drawing miniature circles. The blonde shivered under the touch, trying desperately to calm her hitching breath.

Breath in…through my nose, she thought.

"And out…through your mouth, slowly…slowly" Anna added, as though she was reading the girls mind. Anna's hand trailed further up the length of Elsa's long back, her fingers pattering like rain drops high up the girls spine, till they rested on the nape of Elsa's neck, where they once again began to curl delicate patterns against her cool skin.

Elsa shuddered as she felt Anna's fingernails rake gently against the curve of her neck, eliciting a sprouting of goose bumps across her body. She felt a blast of electricity sting up her spine, Anna's words soothing. As the red head leaned closer, Elsa felt a tickling of breath against the shell of her ear. The smell of strawberries blowing a breeze as Anna continued to whisper.

"Shh, it's ok, I've got you…" Anna could feel Elsa relaxing. From what, she didn't quite know, but she was relaxing all the same. The static stance of her shoulders began to loosen, and the blonde melted into Anna's touch.

"Oh Anna…"Elsa tried, her voice a vibrated whisper as she tried to catch her breath. Unconsciously she wrapped her arm around the waist of the red head, and squeezed tightly. She was not used to this contact, but it was here, laid on a plate for her to feast on, and Elsa couldn't deny herself of it. She clung to Anna, needed to be closer, knowing that Anna's soothing words, and heavenly touch were relaxing her from her agony. She needed more.
Anna shifted slightly on the spot, to allow the blonde to get more comfortable in the twisted position, and in doing so lowered her shoulder to which Elsa lay her head. She nuzzled herself into the crook of Anna's neck, swallowing the tropical scent of the red head's golden skin. She breathed in, allowing the scent to drown herself, and breathed out.

Anna closed her eyes at the feeling of breath against her neck. Mmm, that feels…nice…wait – what? Anna felt her stomach dancing. It was tickling her abdomen, swimming lower through her body. As Elsa nudged closer, Anna felt the insides of her thighs throb slightly, much like they did the other evening when she had danced with the blonde, and she began to panic, unsure of the feelings churning inside.
Before Anna could comprehend, Elsa pulled away, and returned to her sitting position beside the red head. She pulled at the dark dress, attempting to straighten it against the curve of her hips, and Anna dropped her arms.

What is going on with me? Anna thought, stop it, good god! Elsa is upset…and you're… Anna didn't know. She couldn't put it into words what she had just felt as the blonde had nuzzled against her skin. She could sense herself blushing, and lifted the backs of her hands to her cheeks, desperately trying to cool herself off.

"I'm sorry Anna…" Elsa suddenly whispered, her voice fragile like a thin glass that would crack at any second. "I didn't mean to…scare you…" She wasn't looking at the red head. Instead her eyes where hazy, and they glanced into the distance, looking lost, and forlorn.

"Oh, Elsa! You didn't scare me…You – worried me!" Anna reached down unconsciously and rested her golden hand upon the porcelain one that lay ghostly on the grains of sand. She's ice cold, Anna thought, oh Elsa, you poor thing. Please tell me what's going on. I want to help.

Elsa shivered slightly at the touch of Anna's hand, but neither girl spoke for several minutes. Anna closed her eyes, dropping her head at the realisation that Elsa was struggling, but she couldn't help. The quietness draped over the girls like a blanket, tucking in the corners around two frames who sat side by side on an empty beach.

The sun decided to leave; uncomfortable with the situation.
The promenade flooded with darkness.

With one final, shaking breath, Elsa opened her mouth.

"My parents died two months ago."

Anna shot her eyes open, and froze. The silence that swarmed the two girls was chokingly uncomfortable. Anna felt as though she was suddenly falling through the pits of a deep hole, her stomach dropping intensely. She straightened her own back, and turned her head to look at Elsa. The girl's face unmoving.

"Oh my god...Elsa. I'm so sorry." Anna's whisper was barely audible as she stared at the older girl. Oh my god, oh my god! No wonder she's so upset! Oh my…GOD! Elsa, you poor thing, I'm so sorry…Oh my god, what do I do?
Anna felt the strings of her heart pulled harshly, echoing throughout her chest as a lump began to clog in the centre of her throat.

But Elsa was unmoving. She was using every last inch of her strength to cease any tears from falling. Conceal it…don't feel it…She thought to herself, averting her eyes from Anna's gaze that pierced heavily onto her skin, trying to prise its way through the barriers she tried so hard to put up. With shaking breaths, she continued to stare off into the distance, and opened her mouth once again.

"They died…in a car crash. On impact. Neither one made it." Elsa swallowed hard, her voice robotic. "I guess you could say…I've not come to terms with it yet…"

The thick atmosphere clenched its claw around the two girls, strangling any happiness from the situation.

"Elsa….?" Anna's whisper was barely audible.

"And I guess…I never will come to terms with it…"

Elsa closed her mouth, and lowered her head. She would not reveal anymore. Once her heart slowed its deafening pace, the blonde's body was riddled with confusion. She had never revealed anything like this to anyone. She was an introvert, a loner. Apart from her regular appointments with her Doctor, she never spoke to anyone about herself.

Anna tightened her grip around Elsa's cool hand, just as the atmosphere loosened its grasp around the two girls. Elsa had revealed something to Anna, to which the red head was grateful; she was beginning to see why this beautiful girl was so unusual, so sad, so lonely. Although Anna's electric mind was flooded with further questions, she knew that was enough. This was the beginning; there was more to Elsa's sadness, much more, but for today, that was enough. She would not press any further, until Elsa was ready.

The next twenty minutes passed slowly, with neither girl speaking, and only barely breathing. The release of a secret had tired Elsa out, and she sighed rhythmically.

But Anna had to do something, she couldn't leave the blonde like this, it wasn't in her nature. And the more she watched Elsa, saw the girl's eyes prickle with sadness, saw the deep heaving of her chest as she breathed, Anna knew she had to do something. The red head gazed at Elsa, her heart once again melting as she watched the girls lower lip tremble slightly, like a rose petal vibrating against the wind, and with a sudden flash of an idea, Anna inhaled sharply, and sprung to her feet.

"Come on!" Anna shouted as she spun round dramatically, reaching a hand down to Elsa who stared at the girl in confusion.

"Anna - wh-what are you doing?" The blonde's face flooded with confusion.

"Well," Anna smiled mischievously, "I'm going swimming. Are you going to join me?"

Elsa's eyes widened immensely, her mouth dropping open in utter surprise. "What?"

"Swimming!" Anna stated, matter of factly. "I told you - whenever I feel down, I go swimming. Therefore - seeing as you are here with me...and I'm here with you...I will try everything in my power to cheer you up. So we're going to go swimming. You coming - or you going to sit and watch me?" Anna's grin could hardly be contained as she watched Elsa try to comprehend what the red head was saying.

"Anna?" Elsa's voice was brimming with nerves. Anna...what are you doing to me?

"Elsa, I told you…I'm here for you – and I will be here for you whenever you need me. I'm making a promise." Anna giggled nervously. She wasn't even sure what she was doing, or how she thought this was going to cheer the shaking blonde up, but all of her logic had vanished, and with one final smile, she turned. Her golden legs sprinted down the remaining length of the beach, her laughter getting further and further away, and with one quick motion, she whipped the thin dress off from her body before jumping into the sparkling waves.

Elsa's mouth hit the floor. She closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously from side to side in shock, and confusion. What is she doing? No Anna! Come back – I'm not going swimming with you…you're going to be – oh my god….she's in her underwear!
The insides of Elsa's mouth dried, and swallowing became impossible as she watched Anna splash around in the waves, giggling like a child. The red head had waded a distance in the water, her body covered by the dark sea, hiding her body under heavy waves. Elsa felt her heart flutter.

"Come on Elsa!" Anna shouted from the water, her words bouncing of the waves as her grin stretched from ear to ear. As the dimming light reflected off the sea, Elsa could see two golden shoulders exposed. It was enough. In that moment, a foreign warmth spread over her body, and she wanted desperately to run after Anna, to see her. But she couldn't, could she? Could she just jump into the water, as carefree as Anna did? No, it wasn't like her, she never did things like this.

Anna's laughter fluttered across the beach.

She didn't drink either, and Anna had managed to coax her into going to a bar.

A wave splashed loudly against Anna's shoulders, as the red head squealed.

She didn't dance. She never danced. But Anna had got her to twirl across her hall as though it came natural to her.

Elsa's mind shut off; all logic diminishing as she found herself scurrying to her feet, her legs carrying her faster than she even realised she could run.

"Come on Elsa!" Anna screamed with laughter as she continued to bounce in the water. "You'll love it!"

The blonde halted as she reached the edge of the sea, its foamy waves lapping at the damp sand.

"Elsa!" Anna cried, her grin visible even in the dark light. Pearly white teeth glowing.

Elsa clenched her fists tightly, and stepped into the water, her smile evident as she relaxed under the cool lashings of water against her ankles. She peered up at Anna, whose body had stopped jumping to watch the nervous blonde contemplate joining her.

Come on Elsa, Anna thought, come on, you can do it.

Anna's eyes were wide. Anna's eyes were glistening. Elsa looked down at the sparkling water, before gazing back into Anna's eyes. Oh my god! Her eyes…they truly are like the ocean. With the last bundle of nerves slowly drifting away, Elsa lifted her hands to the zipper on the back of her dress, and arched herself, sliding it down against the curve of her spine.

Anna's mouth dropped. She watched as the navy material began to slip from the figure, and an illuminescent glow appeared. As Elsa pulled the material down her chest, Anna gazed as the beginnings of a black lace bra began to reveal itself against creamy white skin.

Anna's heart began to flutter.

Elsa shuffled slightly to gain a better posture for removing her dress, and wiggled as she pulled it further down her body.

Anna's stomach began to twist.

Elsa stepped out from her dress, her pale skin glowing in the dim light. Anna gazed at the blonde who turned to throw her dress behind, it landing softly on the damp sand. She graced her eyes across Elsa's hourglass figure. White as a dove. As smooth as ice cream.

In the depths of the water, Anna's hands went clammy.

Elsa began to step through the waves, wincing slightly as the cool waters graced her long thighs, and as she grew closer to the red head, Anna swallowed hard.

Oh….My…God… Anna didn't know what to say, barely even breathing as she watched Elsa's large, rounded breasts bounce with every step through the water, jostling around in the intricate confinements of the black lace bra which contrasted beautifully on her porcelain skin. Not a single blemish. Not a single mark. Her skin a sheet of untouched snow. As Anna traced the outline of Elsa's body, she gazed at the thin waist that curved perfectly outwards to hips that swayed with every movement. To the left…to the right… Anna stopped to stare at the blonde's flat stomach, her eyes immediately drawn the tear drop shaped belly button, to the curve of her toned abdomen; feminine, and well-sculptured, before lowering her eyes to black lace undergarments that hugged against prominent hip bones with the utmost perfection.

Anna's eyes swooned.

A large wave pushed forcefully against Elsa, testing her, although enticing her equally. The sudden gasp of coldness eliciting a timid squeak from the blonde's lips, which aired on the side of laughter. As she jumped up in reaction to the cool waters, Anna stared, unblinking, as Elsa's plump breasts jiggled up and down in response to her movement, bouncing off one another. The breasts got closer to Anna, the perfect slit of cleavage shiny and wet from the waves, until she realised Elsa was standing in front of her, a shy smile on her face.

"You're right Anna...this is...well it's fun!" Elsa's face had completely lit up and as Anna lifted her eyes from the blondes breasts, up across the protruding collar bones, up the long, slender curve of her neck, she gazed into Elsa's topaz blue eyes that flickered so brilliantly in the dim light, eliciting a flourishing glow of their own.

"Oh my...Elsa, you're so gorgeous..." Anna's face couldn't move from the frozen expression of wonder as she stared at Elsa's body.

The blonde blushed frantically, and dropped her gaze from Anna's in embarrassment of the compliment. As Anna came to her senses, her mind waking up from the dreamy daze of Elsa's figure, she snapped back from her thoughts, immediately realising what she had said. "Oh god - sorry! That was, erm...that was inappropriate of me. Yeesh, sorry!" Anna stood up straight in the water, feeling the liquid rush off her skin as she peered cautiously up at Elsa, who raised her eyes over the red head.

Anna's golden skin was radiant in the dim light, peppered with the tiniest freckles, and Elsa ran her eyes across the beauty of Anna's figure. As she lowered her gaze from Anna's blushing face, she rested upon the younger girls large breasts, the sprinkling of freckles alternating with splashes of water that sparkled like drops of diamonds against the plump mounds of her full breasts. The cotton candy pink lacing of her bra glistened with wetness that dribbled down her golden stomach, Elsa's eyes following the streams of water, darting her eyes across each beautiful freckle. From beneath the reflecting swirls of the water, Elsa could see Anna's long, sun kissed legs, and as the girl shifted back on her feet, the exposure of Anna's pink thong caused Elsa's breath to hitch at the back of her throat.

Elsa began to shiver as she felt the strange fluttering's of pleasure emanate from her intimate regions; the sensation of throbbing returning to between her legs. Despite the cool waters licking at her thighs, she felt herself beginning to sweat, beads of perspiration building against the nape of her neck.

"See, I told you you'd like it!" Anna blurted, immediately snapping Elsa from her thoughts, who in turn felt a faint blush coat her cheeks.

"Wh-what's that?"

"Swimming! But come on - you're going to freeze if you don't get wet!" Anna winked playfully, and with a moment's hesitation, darted her hands into the sea, immediately cupping a large amount of water in her grasp, and splashed it towards Elsa who squealed at the contact.

"AHHH! Anna!" She cried, laughing manically as the water coated her body. Anna couldn't help but chuckle, continuing to splash Elsa. Flicking water against her skin, Anna darted backwards, noticing the blonde intending to splash her back, but stumbled in doing so, causing Elsa to seize the moment. In a quick flash of her hand, Elsa chopped through the waters, causing a wave to engulf Anna's frame, as she laughed, watching the red head splutter in between giggles.

"Ooh, no you don't!" Anna chuckled, and darted her frame under the water, crouching underneath the cool sea leaving only her head above the waves. Elsa cackled, unable to catch her breath from laughing, and as she closed her eyes, she threw her head back in a fit of giggles, clutching desperately at her sides.
Upon seeing this as her chance, Anna whipped her hands behind Elsa's standing legs, and interlocked her fingers, pulling her hands towards herself in doing so. The action pushed against Elsa's smooth legs, and on reflex, the blonde collapsed, her frame squatting in the water as she flailed her arms through the air in desperation.

"ANNA!" Elsa squealed, her laughter vibrating through the waves, as she crashed through the water, her entire frame being engulfed with cool liquid. As she resurfaced, gasping for air, Anna launched herself over Elsa's floating body.

"Are you ok?" Anna cried, looking slightly panic stricken. However Elsa's face beamed up at Anna, as she shook her head from side to side, flicking the droplets of cool water onto the red head.

"Yes - no thanks to you!" She smirked, pulling her tongue in a playful manner towards the grinning red head, who sidled up beside her. As she moved through the water, Anna's leg grazed against Elsa's, the smooth skin stroking across her thigh.

A shot of electricity pulsated through Anna's body.

Elsa swam forward towards Anna, accidently scraping her fingernails across Anna's toned stomach; the contact releasing an outbreak of goose bumps to flood the red heads skin. As Anna swallowed, her legs began to tremble under the waters, every contact of skin from Elsa causing an unfamiliar, stranger tickling between her legs. Anna moved forward, watching as Elsa lay her head against the cool water, floating almost. Her skin illuminated perfectly against the dark sea. Anna watched the droplets of water stream across the curve of Elsa's cheekbones as the blonde smiled towards the sky. The dark lashes that fluttered like butterfly wings blinked rapidly, attempting to rid the water droplets.

Anna moved closer.

Elsa closed her eyes and sighed happily, as her plump, red lips curled into a timid smile, causing her cheek bones to rise. She stretched her neck, arching the curve of her spine, her breasts heaving as she did so.

Anna felt another twinge between her legs. She stepped closer again.

Elsa turned upon feeling the warm breath dance upon her cold skin, and straightened her body until she was face to face with the red head. "Anna?" She tried.

Anna took her final step, and as she rested her feet on the soft, wet sand beneath the water, her thigh grazed across Elsa's, the deliciously smooth skin caressing her leg.

"Anna...?" Elsa tried again, this time her voice a whisper. She tried to read Anna's face, but the red heads eyes were hooded, her cheeks red from undoubtedly blushing, but her gaze was sincere. It was lustful almost. Elsa's breath hitched as she watched Anna raised a trembling finger to the blonde's plump lips.

"Shh..." Anna whispered, as she rested the pad of her fingertip in the groove between Elsa's nose and lips, hushing the girl.

Elsa felt the heat increasing from her core, the deep throbbing between her legs was enough to nearly collapse, as she closed her eyes, the feeling of Anna's gentle touch against her face.

Anna inhaled deeply, before edging her face closer, pausing. Hesitating.

The water rippled around them. The sky dark above.

Anna removed her finger from Elsa's lips, and swallowed the last nerve. She could feel the blonde's breath tickling her nose. She edged closer.

Anna felt her lids dropping, the beach in the distance becoming a blur as she edged closer. She could see the lashings of sand. The crumpled up materials of both hers and Elsa's dresses.

A figure in the distance.

Wait - what?!

Anna jumped back, her sudden jerk of movement causing Elsa to retreat immediately, gasping at the situation. As Anna peered to the beach, her eyes fell upon a shadowed figure, staring at the girls.

Her eyes began to focus.

A slight dusting of ginger hair blew in the wind against the figures head.

Pale skin.

Green eyes.

Anna stepped back away from Elsa, as her stomach dropped to the bottom of the sea.

HANS?!


Oh, Hans...don't worry about Anna being stolen away from a...man... ;)

Ok, so a few things I want to give to you guys for a bit of background.

- The majority of fanfics I've read put Elsa in suits, or male-ish clothing. I have decided to make her extremely feminine - as she is in the film - because I'm trying to stay true to her character. There is nothing wrong with Elsa in a suit! No no, it's just that, I don't want to make her the 'more masculine' one, when in the film she has the most female, sexiest dress ever made for a Disney Character. Therefore she will wear mostly dresses, do her hair, and spend time doing her make up. Anna will also be incredibly feminine too.

-Anna is a Nurse on an Acute Medical Ward. All of the information in this fic is medically accurate. Yes, I work in health care - for the person who asked me :)
