It was June twentieth. And GEEZ was Anna excited. She was prancing around the castle like it was the first time she'd ever seen it. She was excitedly shouting at every maid, making them drop their things and sputter apologies she wasn't standing still enough to hear. Her and Elsa had everything planned to a tee. They went over things daily, and Elsa had double checked every plan about a dozen to two dozen times extra. It made Anna feel so special not just because it was Elsa finally expressing her excitement, but it was also because it was showing how ready Elsa was for the commitment. Every night since the announcement to Arendelle, Elsa went on and on in bed, holding Anna all the while like she was the most precious thing in the world. Anna wrapped her arms around herself at the thought. Can anyone be more adorable?
It was Elsa's turn to be Queen today so Anna knew she may be held up. They both decided to ease the load of royal work by switching on and off who does what each day, and Anna had insisted that Elsa was to never touch a single piece of paperwork on Sundays. That was the only day she, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf could do whatever they wanted. Last week that meant going to Northuldra. Anna still couldn't get over Honeymaren's sowing work.
As she walked in front of Olaf's newly painted purple door, she peeked her head in silently. She had to grab her heart at the sight. Olaf and Elsa were playing in a big puddle of snow just like she and Elsa had as kids.
"Mom! Catch!" And then Olaf threw the ball of snow that looked like Sven way too far out to even catch. It made Elsa sigh and Anna had to cover her mouth to keep her giggle in. The two inside the room still had no idea Anna was even there. That explains why instead of pretending to be stern with Olaf like Elsa usually was, she was softening up, making him a new Sven and delicately placing it in his twig hands.
"Don't break this one, alright?"
Anna smiled to herself and fixed her hair behind her ear as she stealthily shut the door. She had stumbled down the hall she usually stayed away from, but today her mind wasn't really there with her physical body (which isn't too unusual). Her feet just stopped on their own, and she mentally snapped her fingers to get out of her own head. She looked up; she was standing in front of her parents' door. Her stomach sank.
…..
…..
A cool breeze floated her way from the hall around the corner and she found herself staring at the knob when she shouted,
"Elsa?!" Quick footsteps followed and Elsa rounded the corner, worriedly rushing to her side and grabbing her hand.
"What's…?" She's assuming Elsa realized where they were much quicker than she had, and she felt Elsa breathe against her cheek. "Did you hear something?" Anna shook her head no.
….
"I could go fetch the key." Elsa didn't need a reaction. She left swiftly, almost running to go get it. She came back to see Anna still standing there, her arms crossed over her chest, leaning her weight back on one foot with a contemplative look on her face. Elsa handed Anna the key, letting her decide whether to open it or not. Anna gave her sister a worried look that she countered with a confident kiss. Their lips were pressed firmly together, and Anna let herself get lost in the kiss for a moment, purposefully throwing all of her weight against Elsa's front. Elsa held her tight, trapping the key between Anna's hip and her palm. Anna rubbed up and down Elsa's arms, sucking her bottom lip liberally. She blindly reached for the key, and Elsa gave it to her gently. They pulled apart slowly, and Anna rested her forehead against Elsa's.
"Stay right next to me," Anna pleaded, holding the key against her chest.
"Always." Anna didn't look behind her, but she jammed the key into the hole after missing once, and she pressed another kiss to Elsa's lips to give herself courage. They both looked at the glass knob with unease while Anna shoved the door open. The room had been fixed back to what it looked like before. Elsa took care of it. She felt too responsible, and Anna knew she shouldn't try telling her to leave it all broken up like it was (even though she thought her parents deserved that). It had been really uncomfortable explaining what happened in there, Anna can say that much. The only things that couldn't be saved were their parents' first crowns. Elsa felt particularly awful about that.
A humming was coming from the room, and even though it was dark, Elsa and Anna immediately noticed the blue silhouettes sitting at the chess table far into the room. Elsa held Anna to her side and closed the door behind them. Their parents looked up and smiled weerily, politely stopping their game and keeping their hands on their laps. Anna looked to be the one struggling the most with this, her brows being tight as knots. Elsa took a breath before speaking.
"Mother, Father. Tomorrow is the day." They smiled at each other before standing. It would be the perfect time to hug, but they didn't push it. Their ice bodies shone in the slits of light coming in through the blinds not covered by heavy drapes.
"Are you both happy?"
"Happier than ever," Elsa sung, hugging Anna tight to her chest. Elsa leaned into Anna's ear and whispered, "You should say something. I have a feeling this is one of the last chances we'll have." Anna held Elsa a little tighter before letting go and talking to her feet.
"I'm still upset," she crisply said, reaching for Elsa's freezing hand again. The hand warmed the second she touched it. I think Elsa was just hiding her fear. She did it for me. Anna feels a bubble of courage and she grasps for it. It nearly slips out of her reach before she forces it to stay with her. "But I'm going to forgive you." She finally looks them in their glassy eyes again. "I don't want to be upset about it forever, you know?" Anna shrugs and brushes her elbow against Elsa's. She tries to keep her words from being discursive, and continues to use as few words as possible. She knows she needs to get this out before her brain starts going off in every single direction and UGH I'm doing it right now!
"We love you two more than anything."
"I know," both Anna and Elsa say.
"We...um, we miss you too," Anna responds quietly. Her parents just look so happy and airy, and it makes Anna forget herself just for a moment. She holds her arms out and their parents shoot her a questioning look. "Don't make me say it!" Elsa chuckles and waves for them to move in. They do so feverishly, their Father growling at them like they were kids and scooping them up in his arms.
"Ahh," Elsa protests, moving her hair from getting tugged. It was no use. Her father purposefully ran his hand through her hair and she hissed at him. Anna laughed and their mother came up from behind, hugging the three. It was bizarre, feeling this again. Their bodies were bigger than when they were kids and they were almost the same heights as their parents. It had just been so long… but Anna kind of loved it. She nuzzled her head against her mother's shoulder and mewled. They all closed their eyes, even though it wasn't particularly warm. The reminder of death. It stung Anna's heart, and this was a big reason she wished not to see them again. It hurt. Knowing they were gone and that one day Elsa would be too. Anna had to shake it from her mind.
"We're sorry," their parents said emphatically. "We made lots of mistakes that will never mend," Iduna says, grazing her fingers over Anna's face. "There is not a moment we don't think about you, though. And we will never forget you. We just want you two to be the happiest you can ever be." Anna didn't doubt it one bit. She hugged her parents tighter, keeping her eyes screwed shut to keep from letting tears slip. They say more, but it all comes off as incoherent to Anna, she's too busy drowning in the closeness she's being blessed with to hear anything. She vaguely makes out another I love you, and then the warmth dissipates. She opens her eyes and it's just her and Elsa, standing in the shadows of the light. Alone.
Anna's breath hitches painfully, and her chest spasms. Elsa's looking at her worriedly, like Anna's fragile and I hate that. I hate that she's right. Anna's eyes are so cloudy, water filling them up. There's no warning, it all comes at once. She completely bursts, falling to her knees in front of Elsa with her hands covering her face. She's sobbing so loudly, unable to even breathe anymore. Snot and tears mix, and her ears are clogged up with her throat swelling dangerously. Elsa gets on her knees right in front of her, holding Anna's involuntarily rocking body.
"Try to breathe for me," she cooed, kissing Anna's head over and over. "It's ok. It's ok, Anna. I'm here." Anna lunges forward, crashing her body into Elsa's chest, holding her like she's the only thing she has because-
"-You are all I have Els!" She inhales jaggedly. "I n-SNIF-NEVER-hick! Got-t-to-SNIFF-hold you wh-HICK they-SNIFF-died!" Her words were barely articulate, Elsa had to really struggle to make out every syllable. She just knew Anna was clearly grieving the death of them all over again. The difference this time was that Elsa was right next to her, and-
"-I'm not going anywhere," she reassured softly, holding Anna's face against her shoulder and running her fingers through her hair. "It's ok, Anna."
"You're really here," Anna heaved, pressing her wet face against Elsa's cheek. Anna tries speaking again but it just comes out as jumbled cries with needy touches all over Elsa's body. Elsa holds her in her arms, back against the foot of their parents' bed, and pets Anna until she quiets down. What she always wanted, Elsa thought melancholily. I'm finally able to be what she needs and wants. I'm absolutely honored.
Later that Night
Anna had tried her hardest to get back to the happy-go-lucky attitude she was known for, but it had been a little hard. Even then, she still appreciated how Elsa was treating her. The older sister forced her to stay by her side everywhere she went, and she even surprised her with a huge box of white and dark chocolate. Both of their favorites. They fed it to each other while sitting on the ledge of the fountain in the center of town, and any looks they may have gotten can be damned. She took Anna to ride on the back of her water nook that she crystalized, being sure to have Anna sit between her legs to get the best view. It was amazing, seeing the sun fall down the horizon while riding the water like that. It was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
After Elsa went out of her way to wash Anna in the bath, they put Olaf to bed with tentative head rubs. Once they settled into Anna's bed, Anna set her ring on her bedside table in the dish Elsa made her to look like a heart. Taking the ring off reminded her that tomorrow was the day. It was going to be the start of forever, even though forever started a long time ago for us, Anna thought with a loose smile. She blew out the candle by her but Elsa kept hers on, watching Anna's every move. Anna finally laid down, rolling onto her side to face Elsa.
"Hey. I love you," Elsa said pointedly, her arm tucked under her head.
"I love you more."
"No way," Elsa rebuked. Anna smiled faintly and Elsa (still looking quite concerned like she had for most of today) decided to sit up and pull her nightgown off. Anna raised a brow. Her eyes went straight to Elsa's gorgeous hanging breasts.
"What for?"
"It's the only thing left I can think of to make you feel better." Anna nodded slowly and raised the bedsheets to peek underneath. Yep. She's totally naked. Anna hates to admit she blushed when she's seen this more times than she can count in the months they've been together.
"That's really hot but you already did make me feel better today." Elsa wrinkles her lip and lays back down, her breasts still above the covers. Anna couldn't focus on anything else visually.
"Really? You seemed depressed no matter what I did." Anna kisses Elsa and lets her hand rest against a breast, squeezing just a little. Elsa's eyes flutter and Anna feels arousal quickly warming up her waist.
"I'm definitely sad, but you kept my head above water just like you always do," Anna says sweetly. Elsa runs her hand over Anna's side. "I'm glad we got to see them one last time." Elsa nodded. "...Tomorrow's the day." Anna's face lights up and so does Elsa's. "I'm so nervous!" She squeaks it out and Elsa laughs quietly.
"I'm pleased with how my dress came out," Elsa interjects, lacing her fingers with Anna's below their chins. Elsa and Anna agreed that was the one thing they'd hide from each other. All the other plans for food, decorations, invites, were all up to the two of them. Anna went to the local bride shop instead of ordering her materials to the castle and having special tailors do it for her. She always liked the look of Arendelle better than any other place anyway.
"You're going to look so so so cute," Anna blurts, her voice getting higher pitched again. "Hey you know I've always wondered, you don't really seem like the kind of person who'd be so into dresses but you are. How come?"
"Am I supposed to wear suits?" Elsa grins. "I'd look far worse in one," she says, looking up at the bed post in thought.
"You'd look hot either way," Anna replies, making Elsa hum. Anna stares at Elsa's mouth since her tongue just darted out to wet her lips. "Kiss me." Elsa does, and her fingers wrinkle into Anna's dress near her back. It starts to feel like the kind of kiss where your mouths become one thing, and your noses are squeaking against the other person's bone. "Mmffsogood," Anna mewls. Elsa doesn't stop her kisses, holding her head up awkwardly so Anna can lean comfortably against the pillow. The younger of them pushes on Elsa's back until she moves in between Anna's legs so Anna can wrap them around her sister's hips under the blankets. Elsa groans and Anna smiles into the kiss.
"We should really get to bed. I must wake up quite early tomorrow to get everything started." Anna wrinkles her lip in disappointment and Elsa sighs softly.
"Well it'd reallllly help us relax," Anna whines, and Elsa drops her head against Anna's shoulder.
"How about this." Elsa kisses the side of Anna's neck and licks up to the lobe of her ear. "Tomorrow… after everything, I'll completely take you apart with my mouth over and over until you can't even speak." It comes out as a long purr and Anna's body heats up, head falling back into the pillow, hair mussed. She reaches up to pull Elsa down by the back of her neck and presses her tongue against Elsa's lip. Elsa indulges her, nipping at it teasingly. They open their eyes that are centimeters apart.
"You should just marry me now," Anna whispers, fingers tangling in Elsa's drooping bun. Elsa bites the inside of her mouth and hums.
"I'd be a little angry after all the time we took to plan if you decided a marriage in bed was what you'd have desired more." Anna grins and rubs her nose against Elsa's, kissing her again. Elsa flops back onto her back and Anna rests her head on Elsa's breast, wrapping an arm around her tight stomach. Elsa uses her hand to wave a flurry of ice toward the candle near her, flickering it out so they're left in a quiet darkness. Elsa drags her fingers over a freckled back, shutting her eyes. Her anxiety flares up thinking about all the things she'll have to do; makeup will take a bit, getting Olaf dressed will be a hassle, have Kristoff and Ryder's reindeers transport people betwe-
"Els?" She opens her eyes again. "Do you want a baby?" Elsa bites down on her teeth and twitches her nose.
"I want what you want."
"Oh bullshit," Anna argues, voice tired due to the hour. "Yes or no?" Elsa tightens her lips before answering with,
"I do. Just not quite soon." Anna nods against her skin and yawns loudly, stretching her toes under the covers. "Goodnight?"
"Love you," Anna yawns again, hugging her midsection.
"I love you too," Elsa says with a kiss to her sister's head. Anna reaches for her glass of water, and the second the cup touches her lips, Elsa flicks her hand and the water is frozen. The confused look on Anna's face makes Elsa die of laughter.
"Ugh you're such a-" Anna throws the cup at Elsa's thighs and pounces on her.
