Tell Me How To Fix You
Chapter 13
By: The Duchess of Arendelle
AN: Sorry for any mistakes! Here's chapter 13, enjoy!
'No. That didn't just happen. Uh un. This is a dream. A nightmare, like when you're a kid and you dream that you came to school with no pants on. That's all this is, a terrible, vivid nightmare created by my subconscious. I'm not really completely naked in a closet because the woman I think I might have feelings for walked in on me in this state. I'm going to close my eyes and pinch myself. Then I'll wake up in my bed and have a nice laugh about it.' These were the thoughts running through Elsa's mind as she stood in her walk in closet, naked as the day she was born. She squeezed her eyes shut and pinched her right arm as hard as she could.
"Oww! Jesus that hurt!" Elsa cried out as she started to rub the now red spot on her right arm.
'Okay so this is not a dream. This is really happening. Calm down Elsa. Think, what next?' She thought, looking around her closet. How long had she been standing in there?
'Duh, put some clothes on.' Her brain yelled at her. She quickly sprang into action, forgoing underclothes and instead just throwing on a light blue baby doll dress. As she reached for a white cardigan she heard an all too familiar knock on her closet's door. Elsa gasped.
'Please tell me I imagined that.'
***FROZEN***
Anna had been not- so- patiently waiting for Elsa to come out of her bedroom so they could talk about what just happened. She looked at her watch for the 15th time, Elsa had been in her room for 20 minutes now. Anna was starting to believe she was never going to come out. With a deep sigh, Anna closed her eyes and built up the courage to get off the couch and walk back down the hall to Elsa's room. As she cautiously neared the door she saw that it was still wide open.
'Oh my God. Is Elsa still in the closet?' she thought to herself. Wait, no, that didn't sound right. 'Avoid those thoughts at all cost Anna.' She scolded herself.
Anna slowly crept into the bedroom. She could see the in suite bathroom door still opened so she figured Elsa hadn't went back in there. She walked over to the closet and took in another deep breath before doing her special knock on the door. She heard an audible gasp on the other side.
"Um, E-Elsa? Could we talk? About, you know, what just happened?" Anna asked nervously through the powder blue door, trying to keep her voice steady. There was no answer. Anna thought back to the first day they met. It really wasn't that long ago, maybe a week? This reminded her of when she accidentally hugged Elsa before knowing about her condition. Elsa had ran into her room then and locked Anna out. Now she's locked Anna out again, except now she's in a closet.
'How did it get to this?' Anna thought to herself as she knocked again.
"Elsa, please come out the closet." She immediately regretted her wording as soon as the sentence left her mouth. Both Anna and a very flustered Elsa turned bright red at the statement, although neither could see the other. Something Anna was thanking her lucky stars for right now.
"I- I mean, I didn't mean it like that. Not to imply you're, you know. Not that anything is wrong with that! I mean I don't have any problems with it, I never did like labels anyway. Not saying that you have problems with it! But… anyway, I was just- um. God, why is this so hard?" Anna said exasperatedly. On the other side of the door Elsa stayed silent, but she did feel bad for how Anna was struggling with her words. She heard the girl sigh deeply before speaking again, this time much more calmly.
"Elsa look, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to barge in on you like that, I swear. I just- I heard a loud crashing noise, and I… I thought that something might have happened to you again." Anna's voice became really soft as she slid to the floor and leaned her head against the sparkling white wall.
"I don't want to lose you as a friend. Fire me if you have to, just- I don't want to lose a friend like you. So, please don't shut me out again." Anna whispered the last part. Elsa had been listening to Anna, she was on the brink of tears. She had no idea they're friendship meant so much to Anna. Slowly she reached for the door knob, she cracked it open and saw Anna sitting on her floor with her head against the wall. She opened the door all the way and Anna quickly turn around.
"Elsa! Listen I'm really so-" Anna was about to apologize once again but Elsa lifted a pale white hand to silence her.
"Anna, it's okay. Really. I'm just, a little embarrassed is all." Elsa stated as she walked past Anna, further into the room to sit on her bed. She could feel Anna's eyes on her and blushed a little. Was she, happy, about Anna's attention? Anna knew she was staring, she didn't want to risk Elsa catching her ogling again, but it was kinda hard when the image of her naked body was still very fresh in her mind. And now she was in an adorable light blue baby doll dress with a lace trimming and a white cotton cardigan thrown over it. Elsa's hair was still down, waving over her shoulders and damp from her shower. Anna found that she really, really, wanted to run her fingers through it. She quickly shook the thoughts from her head when she saw Elsa looking in her direction. Anna dropped her gaze for a moment before slowly walking towards Elsa. She sat on the floor again, this time next to where Elsa was sitting on her bed. They said nothing for a long time, just sitting there in complete silence. Surprisingly it was Elsa who broke the silence first.
"Why would you think that I would fire you?" she asked softly as she reached for a brush inside her side table. Anna looked up at her then back down.
"Because I, you know, walked in on you? Isn't that against company policy or something?" Anna asked as she let her own hair out the professional work bun it was in. She began to braid it in her usual two pigtails.
"I don't think Frost Industries has a policy that explicitly states the punishment for walking in on the boss naked is immediate job termination. But knowing my father and how thorough he was, there might be." Elsa stated as she continued brushing her hair. Anna paused her hair braiding and looked up at Elsa, wide eyed. The blonde looked completely serious but Anna could see the beginnings of a small smile.
"Well, it was fun while it lasted." Anna sighed. "Can you promise me one thing? When you blacklist me from every newspaper in every state, could you please leave Alaska open? I mean, I don't really like the cold that much, but I do love building snowmen. Plus, I think writing articles on moose and penguins might be pretty fun." At that Elsa finally broke and started to giggle. Anna soon joined in and 5 minutes later they were still trying to catch their breath. Not just from Anna's joke but the whole ridiculousness of the previous situation. As they finally calmed down Anna stood holding her hand out for Elsa to take. Elsa was a shockingly fast healer, although her hands weren't one hundred percent again, they were healed enough that she didn't need the bandages anymore. Elsa didn't realize it, but this time she didn't even hesitate with taking Anna's hand and letting the red head help her up.
"I'm starving and I think it's time you taught me how to cook." Anna smiled as she dragged the blonde out of her bedroom and towards her impressive kitchen. She would have to call Hans and cancel their date, this thing with Elsa was too important. She wanted to stay and make sure they we're on good terms.
***FROZEN***
"Anna, no, it's completely fine, I understand. Saturday sounds even better, I'll just have the reservations switched over to tomorrow. No, it's no trouble at all. You have fun with Elsa, okay? Hey, make sure to save me some of that delicious food. Alrighty then, goodbye!" Hans hung up his cell phone and scowled, his faux cheery disposition completely gone. He then sighed deeply, brushing his hair back with his hand, and dialed a number he rarely got to dial.
"Hello father? It's your son. No, not that one. No not that one either! It's me your youngest, Hans? Well I have some good news. You're still trying to get a hold of Frost Industries from that crazy OCD shut in freak Elsa Frost right? No, I was not able to get close to her, pretending to live in that dinky rundown apartment complex got me nowhere, but I think I know somebody who is." Hans smirked as he stared out the window of his real penthouse apartment.
AN: Hans is such an asshole right? Anyway, sorry this chapter wasn't as long, good news is I can update more frequently before my summer classes start in June. So antyways, I'll try to update this soon, but I gotta work on my other story a lil first, it won't take long. Any suggestions comment or P.M. Peace! :)
