"So, where did you two meet? When Saliba told me she had gotten married, I just had to find out how she met you" Anna smiled as she spoke to Hannah. She was Saliba's wife. A successful business consultant. She even helped Saliba get her business off the ground.
"Well, we actually met after graduation. I was working for a good gym at the time and she became one of my clients." Saliba explained.
Elsa couldn't believe this. She was quietly observing Anna interact with the other ladies, and it seemed that they had been life-time friends. However, what irked her the most was the fact that Saliba seemed to constantly be staring at Anna. Perhaps she was just keeping eye contact, seeing as Anna always contributed to the conversation. But Elsa still had her suspicions. Anna was hers and hers alone. So she decided to make it very clear. She slowly leaned in, Anna none the wiser, and bit Anna's earlobe. The red head jumped with a squeak before turning to face the smirking blonde.
"Elsa!" Anna reprimanded. Saliba and Hannah giggled at the pair.
"Yes love?" Elsa grinned as Anna blushed and hid her ear.
"Stop it!" Anna hissed. Elsa merely batted her eyes innocently. The gesture made Anna huff quietly and give the blonde a meaningful look before returning to the conversation at hand.
"So you were Saliba's client, she always did talk about meeting people through her work, I'm definitely glad she did" Anna smiled.
"Yeah, but let me tell you, getting her attention was so hard!" Hannah exclaimed before taking a sip of her drink. Saliba grinned sheepishly.
"Well, I was fresh out of college and I was ready to work, I only had six months until I had to start paying back my student loans. So I wasn't exactly looking for someone" Saliba laughed.
"I know what you mean, I was so glad when the Arendelle Physical Therapy Office hired me" Anna added. Then the two giggled. Making Elsa growl lowly. So she was surprised when she felt Anna's hand slide into her own. She glanced at Anna, who glanced back, with a sweet, assuring smile. The gesture made the blonde blush lightly, which made Anna giggle quietly.
"Aw, you two are so cute" Saliba teased.
"They really are, so tell me Elsa" Hannah said, turning her attention to the blonde.
"Yes?" Elsa answered,
"You and Anna, where did you meet?" she asked. Saliba turned her attention to
"On her jogging route" Elsa answered easily. It had been their story for so long now, it almost sounded like the truth.
"Really? What happened?" she asked. And as rehearsed, Elsa told her short tale.
"Well, I was going the opposite direction, and just before we passed each other, I fell and twisted my ankle" Elsa said smoothly.
"Ouch" Saliba winced.
"Indeed, anyway, Anna was kind enough to help me, and I decided to take that route from then on. And the rest is history" Elsa finished before giving Anna an affectionate smile.
"Well, that does sound like Anna, she loves to help others" Saliba beamed. Anna waved her off,
"Any decent human being would have done it, I was just the lucky one that day" Anna said modestly.
"I'm certainly glad you did" Elsa added. Anna blushed again. In turn making the other couple coo at them. Afterward, they had finished their food and ordered dessert. They all shared a chocolate lava cake with four scoops of vanilla ice cream. But in the middle of the conversation, Saliba asked Anna to accompany her to the restroom. Anna saw no harm in it, but Elsa was not happy about it. Though she did not voice it, Anna had been assuring her the entire dinner that there was nothing going on, nor would there ever be. So the two left, leaving Elsa to speak with Hannah.
"So, I really like Elsa, and I'm still sorry about the stunt, it wasn't the most appropriate thing to say" Saliba apologized.
"Oh don't worry about that, you were just kidding around, Elsa is just a little rusty with jokes like that" Anna said with a small chuckle.
"It shows, but I can't help but think about how amazing Elsa is, she's been everywhere and done so much! Life must be an adventure between you two" Saliba gushed. Anna blushed. Things were definitely interesting, but they hadn't reached adventurous yet.
"She's a hoot alright" Anna chuckled, but now the more she thought about the stories Elsa told, the more Anna thought about, how Elsa got to those locations. Some seemingly beyond human reach. But of course, Elsa was not human.
"Well, I think it's time to head back, Hannah doesn't do too well with new people on her own" Saliba smiled.
"I'll be right there, I just need to fix my shirt a bit" Anna said pointing at a small spot from the food she had apparently dropped during their dinner discussions.
"Okay, I'll let Elsa know" Saliba said before leaving the red head alone. When the door closed, Anna let out a low whistle,
"Well, that definitely brings things into a new light" Anna hummed before turning the sink on and beginning to clean her shirt.
And at the end of the night, the two pairs separated off. But Elsa and Anna had to wait before they could go home. But Elsa had noticed something. Ever since desert, Anna had adopted this oddly serious look, which switched to thoughtful, then to wishful.
"Anna?" Elsa asked in concern. The shorter woman turned to look at her.
"What's up?" She answered, though she didn't break her facial expression. Which concerned Elsa now.
"Is something the matter? You were fine until dinner had finished. Is something on your mind?" she asked before taking Anna by the waist. She grew her wings out and flapped them experimentally. She had checked for prying eyes, but none were found. Anna wrapped her arms around Elsa and shook her head.
"Nothing's the matter, just thinking about some stuff, nothing important" she shrugged casually. They shot up into the night sky and headed home. Maybe there wasn't anything wrong, maybe Elsa was overthinking it. But she wouldn't press the matter, not now anyway.
Over the next few weeks, Anna had been wrapping up the last of strawberry patch work, summer was coming to another close and autumn was drawing near. Things were going wonderfully between the two housemates, however Elsa was still bothered by Anna's response after the double date. Even now, she still makes those faces and whenever Elsa asked about it, Anna would merely brush it off as a passing thought. But now the vampire was starting to worry. So, when Anna came in from working for the night, Elsa had decided to confront her.
"Anna, dear we need to talk" Elsa said with great concern. Anna had tossed her boots by the door and stretched before rolling her shoulders. Copper came rushing in after her and then she closed the door.
"Hey Elsa, I've been meaning to talk to you too, so I'm glad you're here" Anna said.
"May I go first?" Elsa asked, she really wanted to get her piece in before Anna began.
"Sure" Anna said with a casual shrug.
"I've noticed that you've acting strangely, but it didn't start until after that dinner date, did Saliba say something that bothered you? I want to help where I can, but you have to tell me instead doing what you have, I've been worried about you" Elsa said, her voice filled with worry, and hurt. And now Anna felt bad, maybe she should have communicated better regarding her behavior. But she had a lot to think about, and Elsa couldn't know what it was she was thinking about. Until now anyway.
"I'm sorry Elsa, but I've been thinking a lot lately" Anna said with a sheepish shrug.
"Thinking? Thinking about what?" Elsa questioned.
"You" Anna said before she approached the blonde. Elsa's concern grew and fear began to fester in the back of her mind.
"Me?" Elsa asked. She didn't know whether to brace herself for the worst or not.
"Just about you and you're awesome powers, makes wish I had powers like yours too" Anna smiled.
"That's all?" Elsa questioned, she was greatly relieved, and here she thought that something was troubling her dearest strawberry.
"Yeah, nothing heavy, just wondering is all, now, how about some dinner?" Anna asked with a goofy eyebrow raise. Elsa chuckled before pulling the redhead flush against her own body.
"I'm craving dessert more than dinner" she growled into Anna's ear before licking the shell of it. This action succeeded in making the smaller woman tremble. Anna bit her lower lip and blushed deeply.
"U-Um, w-well I bought some cake, i-if you want it" Anna stuttered out, becoming more flustered when Elsa began to run her hands to the hem of her shirt and slip beneath it.
"I was thinking more along the lines of a . . . strawberry muffin with a lovely glaze, if you will" Elsa purred. Anna squeaked. Elsa growled and before anyone could blink, Elsa and Anna had disappeared. The sounds left were of a closing door and a high pitched squeal.
The next day, Anna was at the clinic working with an even brighter smile than usual. It was slow again, but high school football was just around the corner, so it wouldn't last. And while she was in her office working on some papers, she got a knock her door.
"Come in" Anna said, not looking up from the work.
"Anna, you have a visitor" the familiar voice of the receptionist said. It was then Anna looked up, and she saw Fawn approaching her with her usual smile.
"Hey Fawn! It's been a while" Anna beamed. And it was true, the zoo had to add a new habitats for incoming animals, so it was all hands on deck at the zoo.
"Yup, sure has, so how's work and Elsa?" Fawn asked once the door shut. By then she was floating in a sitting position, legs crossed.
"Great! And I've been wanting to ask you something" Anna said with a curious tone.
"Sure, what's up?" Fawn asked before leaping into the air and floating down, now sitting in an Indian style. Her elbows on her knees and hands beneath her chin.
"Well, this has been crossing my mind a lot lately, so I figured I would ask you, so what's it like being a vampire?" Anna asked eagerly.
"Being a vampire? Well, to be honest, it feels a lot like when I was human, except now, I drink blood and I'm gonna live a long time, nothing too interesting" Fawn said with an honest shrug.
"Really" Anna asked incredously. She had expected a bit of a more interesting answer, but then again, Fawn didn't have any special powers like Elsa.
"Yup, but I do have a sweet bank account, a perk of working for so long" Fawn winked.
"I would think so, but, how do you keep your money? Surely the banks notice how much money you have and that your name has been on it for long" Anna pointed out.
"Not a chance, after a certain amount of years, I take all my money out and wait a couple of decades, then I open another account with a new name and new information, it's simple really" Fawn explained.
"What's your current name?" Anna asked.
"Tina McGee, born and raised in Hawaii but moved to Indianapolis for a chance for a new start as a zookeeper, she came with a "small family inheritance" but chooses to work to keep herself grounded" Fawn smiled.
"Clever, and I'm sure this inheritance is quite generous" Anna snorted.
"You don't even know the half of it. But enough about finances. What brought the vampire thing on, you've never brought it up before." Fawn said.
"It's silly, but, I've been wondering what it would be like to be an actual vampire like you and Elsa" Anna said before setting her pen down.
"Wow that is an interesting thought. But it's like I said, you don't really feel any different, you just stop aging and have a change of diet, and some appearance, it's mostly the ears and some abilities" Fawn said before uncovering one of her ears and wiggling it.
"Elsa does that too" Anna pointed out before smiling fondly. Fawn suddenly stared at her before grinning.
"Apparently that's not the only thing she does" Fawn suddenly guffawed. Anna narrowed her eyes curiously, what on earth was she talking about? Well if she had checked her mirror more closely this morning, she would have covered up all the love marks that Elsa had left her. But she didn't. So now Fawn was laughing at a decently sized pinkish purple mark on the base of her neck. One that her uniform could not cover.
A/N: That's all for now folks, see you soon!
