Here Comes The Sun
By: The Duchess of Arendelle
Chapter 3
AN: I don't own Frozen or its characters, bleep, blop, bloop.
"This really is lovely Elsa." Anna sighed as she strolled through the beautiful royal gardens, arm in arm with said Ice Queen. They had been walking for about an hour and still hadn't come close to exploring half the garden.
The flowers were gorgeous, all we're in full bloom now. The reds and violets blended together nicely with the lavenders and blues. Cherry blossom trees imported from far off lands; exotic plants grown places Anna couldn't even begin to imagine. And the whole while Anna couldn't help but think 'What if it could be like this always?' Anna had long since come to peace with the fact she was attracted to her sister. At first she assumed it was hero worship. When they were children she always remembered looking up to Elsa, thinking so highly of her. Even when Elsa started shutting her out, she still looked up to her.
After the whole 'Incident' Anna thought she was so enamored with her sister because after all these years, she finally had her Elsa back. They could finally be sisters again, and she never had to be lonely ever again. That theory was shot down the second she saw Elsa in her icy night gown. The girl was drop dead gorgeous. The night gown was a pale blue, much like the color of her new queenly attire, which by the way, Anna was so NOT complaining about. Elsa's sleeping gown stopped just above her knees and seemed to sparkle in the darkness of Elsa's bed chambers. Not to mention the fact that it was practically see through. Elsa may still be slightly reserved in character, but her wardrobe sure took on a new attitude. When Anna had suggested a sleepover 'For old time sakes.' she definitely was not expecting the rush of arousal that would overtake her the moment her sister climbed in bed, and looking at the still standing there Anna with her mouth hanging slightly open, asked 'Are you coming?' At that moment Anna actually thought she was.
"Yes it is." Elsa finally replied, sounding slightly distracted. Anna snapped back to the present and immediately picked up on her sister's tone. "What the matter Elsa?" Anna stopped them right in front of a stone bench and gestured for Elsa to join her for a seat. Elsa did and she let out a deep sigh.
"It's nothing Anna, just a little tired." She gave Anna a weak smile.
"Bull." Anna replied. Elsa looked taking aback.
"Excuse me?" Elsa replied scandalized by Anna's language.
"I said, bull." Anna repeated defiantly. "I don't believe you and I'm calling your bull." Anna continued.
Elsa looked down, the stoned path suddenly looked very interesting. "I don't know wh-" she was cut off by Anna gently grabbing her chin, making Elsa look her little sister straight in the eye. "Don't lie to me Elsa." Anna said, suddenly very serious. "Don't shut me out." She finished.
Elsa sighed and turned her head. How could she tell Anna what she was just thinking? How could she risked being found out and called a freak, an abomination by her own blood. By the girl – no woman, she was in love with. Elsa had been lost in thought as well. She was stealing quick glances at Anna as she "ohhh'd" and "awwed", over the various plants and trees in the garden. 'What am I supposed to say, 'I was just thinking about how incredibly beautiful you are and how for as long as I can remember I've loved you more than one should love their sister? How I love you to the point it physically hurts me to see you laughing and making eyes at Kristoff and not me. How every night I dream of holding you in my arms and planting feather light kisses all over your body.' Yeah Elsa that would go over great.'
Just then Anna grabbed Elsa's hand and Elsa quickly turned her head back around to greet Anna's beautiful aqua eyes. Elsa tried to pull her hand out of her littler sister's but Anna was having none of that. She gripped it tighter.
"Please Elsa." Anna pleaded. "Just this once tell me what you are thinking." She continued, now close to tears.
Elsa was heartbroken. She never ever wanted to hurt Anna but that's all it seemed like she could do. If it wasn't physically like blasting her in the head with her ice powers or freezing her heart, it was emotionally, like shutting her out for 13 years and refusing to share her feelings. Elsa looked down than back up. She didn't want to hurt her sister by not letting Anna know how she felt, but if she told Anna her true feelings, wouldn't that hurt their relationship even more? There was no way Anna could feel the same way. So there was only one thing that could be done.
Lie. Lie like crazy.
"I'm sorry Anna, you are right. There is something bothering me." Elsa gripped her sister's hand a bit for effect.
Anna looked at her, anticipatingly. "Well what is it Elsa? You know I'll be her for you no matter what."
'If only that were true.' Elsa thought to herself as she racked her brain for a really, really good lie to get Anna off her back, even temporarily.
Elsa let out a deep, sorrowful sigh. 'Might as well play it up.' She thought.
"Really Anna it's nothing big. It's just… I'm nervous about meeting our cousin." Elsa finally said. 'Liar. You are such a liar.' She was thinking to herself.
"I mean, what must she think of me? The letter said that she and her husband came to Arendelle for their honeymoon. I ruined their honeymoon. I know it's probably silly to dwell on…" She trailed off, once again turning her head from Anna, this time for effect.
Anna let out a relived sigh. Elsa turned back to look at her, why did Anna look slightly disappointed? Was she anticipating something else? Elsa didn't have long to dwell on that thought as Anna let out a series of giggles and gave Elsa a sweet smile.
"Oh Elsa!" Anna began gripping both hands now, "I'm sure Rapunzel will love and forgive you just like everyone else. Even the Duke of Weaselton apologized to you! You have nothing to worry about!" Anna's smile was dazzling and Elsa knew she did the right thing lying to her sister and keeping her true thoughts to herself.
Elsa looked at Anna and slightly smiled. "If you say so Anna." She replied.
"I do say so." Anna giggled.
After that the two just sat there in silence, enjoying each other's company.
'Why do I think she's still not being honest with me?' Anna was thinking to herself. 'I feel like there is something else she wants to confess but won't.' she went on thinking.
Anna turned her head to gaze at Elsa. 'She really is breathtaking.' Anna thought. She looked down and noticed that Elsa had not yet released her hand. Anna smiled at the sight of her and Elsa's fingers intertwined. Elsa, feeling eyes on her, turned and met her sister's gaze. Something was different in the way Anna was looking at her. There was … longing… in her sparkling blue eyes, and Elsa just knew that look was being reflected in her own eyes.
'What's going on?' Elsa thought. 'Why is she looking at me like that? Maybe Anna does feel the same as me…' Elsa quickly shook that thought from her mind and focused on the way Anna was very slowly moving towards her.
Anna was having similar thoughts as Elsa. She could indeed see the longing in Elsa's eyes and thought just maybe Elsa did have the same feelings as herself. Without even realizing, Anna started slowly leaning in towards Elsa, eyes locked firmly on her lips.
Just as their noses brushed there was a loud crash in the distance. Both sisters jumped at the noise and seemed to snap out of their trance. They both shot apart from each other and looked away furiously blushing. Anna looked in the direction of the crash and saw a few gardeners hurriedly trying to clean up the mess of shattered flower pots. Some of the world famous Cornain sun flowers were scattered across the grown along with dirt and fractals of the pots they were in. Anna looked back towards Elsa only to see her sister's retreating back.
Elsa was already half way to the castle when she heard Anna calling her name. She ignored her sister's cries and continued walking till she was safely inside the castle and locked in her room. She leaned heavily against the door.
"…Was Anna going to kiss me?"
AN: Annnnddd scene! Hope you guys liked this chapter and the story in general. I wouldn't know unless you dropped me a line and reviewed! ;) Anyway, next chapter….ehhh I think I'll just surprise you guys from now on. Muwhahaaa!
Side note guys, I'm thinking about starting a new story. What do you guys think of a Frozen/Game of Thrones cross over? It would be Elsa/Daenerys since I can't get that thought out of my head! They seem like the perfect couple. They are so much alike in attitude looks and just about everything except their powers which is the best part! Tell me if you think I should get on this. See ya next time kittens!
