"You're absolutely sure she won't mind?"
"Pretty sure, I've done this before. I mean not with other girls, well, yes other girls. Just you know like friends, that are also girls…" Elsa smiled at Anna's nervous rambling.
"It's cute watching you get flustered." She teased and smiled when the cherry blonde rolled her eyes and gave Elsa a gentle shove. Unlocking Korrey's dorm room she pushed the door open and took two steps in before stumbling over wheels.
"Damnit woman it's like you're trying to kill us. Watch out, Korrey's obviously become a slob and left parts everywhere." Holding her hand out to Elsa to steady her. Taking it the two picked their way through the messy dorm. Flopping on the couch Anna sighed.
"It's almost not worth it." She mumbled.
"Well, I thought this was your favourite movie." Elsa teased holding up the case. "Actually, now that I think of it, this is your favourite movie? It looks scary." She flipped the case over in her hands and read the back.
"it's more…. Creepy than anything else." She took the case and popped it open and dropped the disk in the tray. Hurrying back to the couch she curled up and opened her arms for Elsa who apprehensively curled into the taller girl.
"I promise, this is a great movie. It's even better on Korreys huge wide screen. We must have watched it nearly fifty times." Curling closer to her girlfriend Elsa let out a soft sigh.
"I hate horror movies."
~X~
They were barely an hour in when the front door banged open loudly, scaring Elsa half to death. She jumped violently and rolled over, stuffing her face into Anna's shoulder and whimpering. Shaking a bit herself, Anna grabbed for the remote and paused the movie.
"GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!" There was a loud clatter, a pause then a rather loud thud as Korrey (presumably) punched the wall. " FUCK FUCK FUCKING CUNTS BULLSHIT!" Korrey came through the hallway and stomped over to the kitchen, not even noticing the two on her couch. Anna sat up and watched as she agitatedly started opening cupboards. "MERDE MERDE MERDE!"
"Ohhhh this is really bad." Anna whispered, more to herself than anyone else.
"Why? How can you tell? Aside from the obvious?" Elsa sat up next to Anna and took her hand. She wouldn't admit it out loud but the Canadian could be really scary and seeing her storming around and cursing wasn't helping.
"Well for one that last string of swears was in French. You know it's bad when she cycles through her languages. If it's really bad she starts cussing in languages she doesn't even speak properly. Some languages she learned just the swears. The first time it happened it was pretty scary."
Elsa looked over and could make out a few odd words though the rage had calmed some. "Do you want to talk to her?" she asked softly. Anna nodded and giving her hand a squeeze got up off the couch and approached the kitchen.
"Hey Korrey…" She said softly, stopping at the mouth of the kitchen. The aforementioned girl turned her rage flying back to life in a split second.
"I swear to fucking god if!-" she stopped mid sentence and after realization washed over her features she calmed down, her shoulders slumping. Rubbing the heels of her palms agitatedly into her eyes she sighed.
"Sorry Anna. I'm a bit…" she trailed off again and looked to the ceiling taking a deep breath. Looking over Anna's shoulder she saw Elsa just barely peeking over the edge of the couch, obviously afraid. Forcing a small smile she turned her attention back to Anna.
"Wide screen?"
Nodding Anna took a step forward and tentatively reached out, rubbing her palm up and down Korreys shaking arm. Rubbing softly she calmed down a bit and released a shaky exhale. "Do you want to explain what's got you cursing in everything from English to Portuguese?"
A bitter laugh escaped her. "Well, technically you two." Turning away she opened more cupboards before finding her mug. Setting it on the counter she started looking for her coffee. "Well, less you two more that ginger motherfucker. I swear to god Si jamais j'ai un autre chance, je vais tuer!"
Anna grabbed Korrey and made her sit, ruffling her hair then got the coffee and set the kettle to boil. "Okay again but all in English this time?"
"Hans" She grit out from behind clenched teeth. This caught Elsa's attention and she slipped off the couch and sat at the table across from her.
"Hans?" She questioned softly. "I'm sorry if you got in trouble with him because of me. I mean you barely-" Waving a hand to cut her off the blue haired girl shook her head.
"No he deserved it and I was glad to punch him in his smug mouth. But because he's Hans…" sighing she dropped her head back, her face to the ceiling her eyes closed. Anna ran a hand gently through now messy blue and purple streaked hair. Setting a coffee down in front of her she took a seat between the two women. She took Elsa's hand and rubbed a comforting hand across Korrey's tense shoulders. "Hans' parents own that really big firm blah blah blah, they're rich and powerful and Hans is a big fucking coward he went to his parents and they went to the school. He whined I could have killed him, which IS Technically true but not the intention so that wouldn't have happened. Anyways, the schools come down on me, hard." She paused and Anna saw her clench her jaw trying to bite back tears. "They're threatening me with both suspension," She heaved a deep sigh. A few tears leaking down her cheeks. "And they're saying they can deport me."
"WHAT!" Anna leapt up, knocking her chair back. Elsa's eyes widened and a gasp escaped her before her fingers could trap it in her mouth. " They're trying to DEPORT you? Can they even do that? On what authority? I mean if we could deport anyone why haven't we could that little weirdo Beiber? Oh god what if-"
"Anna!" cutting her off she gave a sad smile and stood and put both her hands on the cherry blondes shoulders. " Relax." Waiting for her to take several deep breaths she continued. "This is happening. So the way I see it, I've got two very unpleasant options. One I pack up and wait. Two," She paused and met Elsa's eyes. "Two I ask you for help. I don't see a way in which my actions can be justified. But at the very least with your story added to his I can avoid deportation. I think suspension at the very least is inevitable. Maybe even expulsion."
Anna turned her attention back to her significantly paler girlfriend. Rushing over she wrapped one arm around her waist and made her sit. Kneeling between her legs Anna looked up at her pleading. "Elsa, I don't want to push you. I really don't but, I think you have to talk about this. I love you, I really do." She leant forward and pressed a soft kiss to quivering lips. Taking her hands she ran the pads of her thumbs along her palms. "But Korrey's my, no our friend and if we can help, we need to. If she gets thrown out not only does she get the punishment, but then who's wide screen are we gonna watch Prometheus on?"
A small giggle escaped Elsa despite herself and Anna smiled encouragingly. But soon the small smile dropped off her lips and she looked scared again. "But, I don't think….I mean I don't…How.."
Korrey gently went up to the two and put a comforting hand on the blonde's shoulder and gave a sad smile. "Elsa, I won't make you do anything I promise. If you believe me at all, I've been where you are right now. Sort of. Point is, I won't make you talk to save my ass." Another desperately sad smile and she squeezed her eyes shut. "I won't make you say anything. But I'd really like if you did. I've grown rather found of my home and friends. I beg you, please, please say something. Please help me. And that's all I'll say on the matter. I've-" she choked up and Anna stood, hugging her tightly. The hug was returned and when she stepped back she looked just a bit stronger.
"I've got to find Spencer and Kianna…Oh god and Kristoff and that girlfriend of his, Alix. How am I going to tell them?" she heaved a sigh and closed her eyes, rubbing them with the heel of her palms. A butter laugh escaped her. "And to think, this is only the third hardest thing I've ever had to do." Shaking her head she looked around the kitchen. Finding what she was looking for she strode over to the counter and picked a purple beanie off the counter and settled it on her head. She stopped to press a quick chaste kiss to Anna's hair and a gentle squeeze on Elsa's shoulder. Then she was picking up a random skateboard and then she was gone.
The silence was thick and palpable in the small room. Elsa couldn't look at Anna and the cherry blonde was staring at the door where Korrey had been. Almost mechanically Anna dropped into a seat and when Elsa peeked up at her she saw her hands were shaking but she was trying to hide it. Biting her lip she hesitated then took Anna's hands and pulled her to her feet. Without a word she tugged gently and lead her to the couch. With a gentle shove she got Anna to lay on the couch, and then she crawled in her arms. Their arms went around each other automatically and Anna lay her cheek on top of white blonde hair.
"I do want to help her…" Elsa's voice was weak and timid. Later when Anna thought back she realized Elsa also sounded absolutely terrified. Sighing she pressed a kiss to her hair.
"I know. I know you do. But you can't because…" She trailed off softly barely even having the heart to finish her thought. Elsa snuggled closer to her and gripped her shirt. They stayed like that for nearly half an hour before Anna's phone rang, signalling a text. She picked it up and flicked it on.
Korrey: Want some Alone time with Spencer before tomorrow, either way I'll be gone for some time and Spence can't always sneak off campus to see me. If you're still in my apartment please leave. ILU
"That was Korrey, she wants alone time with her girlfriend before she has to leave." Elsa nodded and swallowed thickly before standing. She felt so bad for what was happening to the other girl. She was in danger of being deported because of what she did for her. Biting her lip she couldn't help but blame herself. Anna caught sight of her worrying her lower lip and gently pulled it free. "Stop. I know you're blaming yourself but don't. Korrey doesn't regret doing it. Besides, she wouldn't have done it just because I asked. She did it because she felt it was right. So stop blaming yourself right now."
"Okay" she replied softly. Together they tugged on their shoes and left Korreys. As they exited the building back out into bright sunshine Elsa took Anna's hand. "Where do you want to go?" When Anna was silent she tilted her head back to see Anna's thinking face. She stayed quiet. Then without warning, taking her hand she silently led her across campus and after a brief mishap with some chain link fence, off campus (way off campus it took Anna twenty minutes to get to where she wanted to take Elsa) to a small wooded area behind the school. Tugging her along Anna eventually stopped in a small clearing. There was a small stream that dead-ended in a small pool that looked like it'd be perfect for skating on in the winter. Some sort of hanging foliage blocked the only obvious entrance. Sunlight filtered in through the canopy.
"Holy shit Anna…" Elsa breathed, staring in wonder at where she'd been brought. The cherry blonde giggled a bit at the reaction. She smiled as Elsa twirled slowly taking it all in.
"I think that's the first time you've said anything worse than darn." She teased slowly coming up behind the other girl and wrapping her arms around her waist and resting her chin on her shoulder. "I found this place In my freshman year. I had a bad break up with this girl…or was it guy? I don't remember. Anyways I was upset and I stumbled across the fence. I came exploring to take my mind off of it and I found this place. I've never shown anyone else."
"How did you keep this place a secret for a whole year? It's so….so…" she trailed off lost for words. Anna shrugged.
"People around here are usually too busy with their noses stuck in a book to really explore, so It's been fairly easy. Anyways I come here to think or to relax." Elsa turned in her arms and kissed her hard on the mouth, her arms snaking around Anna's neck. They stood kissing and nipping at each other's lips and skin. Eventually they broke apart, Anna gasping for breath and Elsa biting her kiss swollen lips shyly as she ran her fingers softly over the forming hickey on her collarbone.
"uhm… brought you here, to talk…. Make you help Korrey." Anna mumbled dazedly a slow grin forming on her lips. Elsa smiled a bit. Anna shook her head and bent down and pulled her shoes off and stripped her socks. She skipped over to the stream and dipped her feet in and sighed. She fell back and lay in the grass, her arms outstretched in the grass. She heaved a contented sigh.
"Either get over here and get in this stream with me or go talk to the dean." Anna teased. Elsa slowly moved and sat at the edge of the stream and stripped off all her footwear and dipped her feet in. Anna smiled lopsidedly and as Elsa lay back she took her hand. For a while they were quiet, basking in the sunlight, each other and the blissful silence that was increasingly hard to find.
Elsa squeezed the hand in hers and Anna's head lolled over to the side to look at the nervous platinum blonde. "I want to help Korrey… I just don't know how I can help."
"If the dean knew she was going after Hans for attacking you twice and myself once it gives Korrey more of a reason for what she did."
"But I still don't see how that really helps her."
"It makes her sound sweet and overprotective instead of psychotic and disturbed as Hans and his parents probably made her sound."
"So really it just makes her sound good?"
"It's all we can really hope for. If the dean has some more context maybe he'll go easier on her. He's a reasonable man."
"Do I want to know how you know?" Anna chuckled and gave the pale hand in hers a soft squeeze.
"Korrey, Kristoff, and our girlfriends at the time wanted to do something to prank the school. So one night at like, two in the morning we snuck up to the roof of the big officy building. You know where the dean's office is. And cause Korrey's crazy freaky and so was Kristoff's girlfriend they both climbed the flagpole. You know the one that juts out off the roof. Anyways they replaced the American flag with a gay pride flag. Then when they helped me and Kristoff over we rigged up this ridiculous Christmas scene on the roof with light up reindeer and huge inflatable santa's and crap. It was October."
Neither girl could contain their giggles and soon gave up and shortly both were rolling in the grass laughing hysterically. Wiping away tears Anna stumbled through the end of her story. "I have no idea how the dean found out it was us, but when he did he was kinda furious. Korrey and my girlfriend, who was in legal studies talked him down a bit and told him technically no property had been damaged etcetera etcetera and he relented. We got off with a small detention and that was it."
Elsa's smile was wide as she giggled and stared wide eyed at Anna who was now on her stomach with her arms folded under her, cheek resting on her forearms smiling rather adorably at Elsa.
"I can't believe you did that. Actually, yes I can." Anna's eyes narrowed playfully and she rolled over and before Elsa could blink the taller girl was straddling her waist and had her wrists pinned to the grass.
"You have such a low opinion of me!" Anna lamented, her voice taking on an over dramatic quality. "My own girlfriend thinks I'm a nut job! Woe is me!" When Elsa giggled Anna's fingers immediately dove into her sides, tickling her mercilessly. Shrieks of laughter echoed around the clearing as Anna mercilessly tickled, Deaf to the pleas for her to stop.
When she eventually stopped, Elsa flushed and panting below her, Eyes wide and smile brighter than the sun Anna couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. Elsa's lips were soft and cool and Anna tangled on hand in silky strands as they kissed.
"Anna" She whispered against her lips. Anna for her part kissed her again before trailing kisses down to a pale slender neck. "Anna." Elsa whimpered, screwing her eyes shut. Shakily she gave a weak push at the Cherry blonde straddling her waist. "Anna hang on."
"What is it flurry?" the words were muffled against the skin of her throat.
"I'm going to help Korrey." Anna's whole body practically vibrated with excitement. Her head popped up from where she'd been working on Elsa's second hickey. Her smile was wide and she couldn't help the shriek of excitement that escaped her.
"THANK YOU!" A quick kiss was pressed to Elsa's lips and she could feel the smile. Anna sprang up and with surprising strength hauled Elsa up with her, Anna started tugging her back towards campus and she laughed.
"Forgetting something?" confused She replied no and Elsa held up a stray sock she'd managed to snag. Anna blushed making Elsa laugh. They took their time to dry their feet best as they could then slipped their socks and shoes back on. Anna with a wide ecstatic smile and Elsa with a nervous one, they booth started back to campus.
~X~
"Where did you learn to do that?"
"Does it matter?" Korrey replied with a slick smirk, dangling the bra off her index finger. "I win now, about that reward…" A sinfully arousing look crossed her features and the girl under her squirmed, already incredibly turned on.
Korrey hand her hand up her shirt and her lips on her neck when there was several hundred enthusiastic knocks on her door.
"I'm going to kill Anna…"
"Chill Spence, I'll do that for you." With a slightly murderous look in her eyes Korrey slipped from her position on Spencer's hips and yanked a pair of jeans on, not even bothering with a shirt before crossing the room to answer the door. "What?!" she barked, yanking the door open.
Anna pushed her way into the room dragging an unfamiliar platinum blonde behind her. The blonde looked scared out of her wits. Huffing a sigh Spencer rose from the couch and joined Korrey in glaring angrily at the two intruders. The blonde, she noticed visibly shrank under the harsh attention, moving to hide behind Anna.
"Korrey, Elsa's going to talk to the dean. We came right away, better to not waste time right?"
Korrey's relaxed as a wide grin spread across her face.
"Elsa? You're sure?" A soft but sure nod.
"What happened to you're shirt?"
" I dunno Anna, what do you think happened to my shirt?" she replied irate, gesturing to Spencer. Anna looked confused before something clicked in her brain.
"oh, OH!" She blushed and shoved the blonde out the door. "We'll wait outside! Don't take long!" closing the door Korrey shook her head. She opened her mouth but Spencer beat her to it.
"I know, see you in a bit." Smiling Korrey kissed her and disappeared to go find a shirt. " I will get you back Anna, I swear."
~X~
"I Can't believe you interrupted Korrey's….. private time." Elsa blushed and Anna looked downright mortified.
"I know…Oh my god how did I forget?"
"You've evidently got some wires loose." Came the sarcastic reply as Korrey came back out, this time fully clothed and looking a little less murderous.
"Korrey I'm so sorry! I didn't-"
"Just apologize to Spencer and maybe she'll let you back in the apartment sometime in this decade."
"How bad is-"
"I practically had to cuff her to the bed."
"You have handcuffs?! Can I, we borrow them?" Elsa made a choking noise and immediately turned crimson jerking the front of her shirt up to hide her face. Anna turned to look at her, concern evident on her face. Elsa hid in her shirt while Anna had to rub her back soothingly. Korrey couldn't hold back a laugh and immediately clamped her hands over her mouth. Eventually Anna coaxed Elsa out with promises of snuggles and kisses and to not bring anything sex related again until she was more comfortable.
After the brief 'handcuff incident that nearly killed Elsa and Korrey' as it would be remembered as for many years after (with Kristoff constantly bugging both Anna and Korrey they were kinky little shits, both protesting and giving him a few bumps and bruises before he relented) they eventually made it to the deans office. Korrey opted to lounge across three of four seats, all of which had arm rests resulting In an effect that made her look chopped up and boxed, while Elsa was practically in Anna's lap. She was shaking slightly and Anna counted at least four nervous tics while Korrey was at five.
"Elsa, are you sure you want to do this?" Anna asked in a near whisper. A shaky nod was all she got, so she coaxed blue and fearful eyes to meet hers. "Elsa, you really don't have to do this. You're shaking like crazy and you look like you'd like nothing more than to become part of the wall."
"For Korrey. She helped me so I'll help her." Her answer was tremulous but the conviction behind it was fierce. With a small smile Anna nodded and pressed a kiss to the shy girls forehead.
"I'm so proud of you." She shifted so she could whisper in Elsa's ear, "And tonight, you are going to be rewarded." Elsa's face once again lit up, turning an almost comical shade of red. Anna laughed softly and took her hand and ran her fingers through silky platinum hair.
"I understand you three young ladies are here to see me?" The voice was deep and rough, which definitely didn't match the body of the small sandy haired portly man.
"Mr. Samuels! Yes we are! We ah, have some information about the incident with Korrey and Hans." The older man heaved a heavy sigh.
"Please, come in." The three girls shuffled in, there were only two seats and Korrey elected to lean against the wall next to the window.
"So, Miss, Hawke, Christian and Frost, What exactly is it you need to tell me?"
"Elsa has to tell-"
"They know some-"
"One at a time please." Tiredly he rubbed at his temples. It'd been a long day with the Mantegna family harassing him to have the odd Canadian expelled. "Miss Christian you first please."
"Elsa has information that Hans conveniently left out about why Korrey ah… acquainted his face with her fists." Anna explained, for once in her life thinking over her words before blurting them out.
"miss Hawke?" Korrey shrugged.
"Exactly what Anna said."
"Miss Frost?" Elsa seemed to shrink as Everyone's attention automatically swirled to make her their focus. She could feel the unpleasant crushing sensation that started in her ribs and the stuttering of her diaphragm telling her a panic attack was well on the way. She choked on the words in her throat. She was about to up and bolt when Anna gently placed a hand on her thigh and gave a light squeeze.
"It's okay, you can do this." She reassured with a soft smile. Elsa closed her eyes, focused on how Anna's skin felt. How her lips were soft and how she always seemed to smell like vanilla, apples and freshly cut grass. She focused on the exact shade of her eyes, really closer to sea blue-green that just blue itself. Opening her eyes she took another breath and started.
" A few nights ago, I was out. I like the night and the stars and they're hard to see from her. So I uh, went off campus. I guess I wandered too far because the next thing I know I was in a residential area that I didn't recognize." She had to stop and take a breath, Anna squeezing her hand encouragingly. "I was wandering a bit before Hans found me. Him and his buddies knew the area I guess. They cornered me in an alleyway. Then most of them left. Except Hans, He stayed he was going to…." She choked on her words and tears started to mist her eyes. Anna pulled her close and pressed a kiss to her hair. Korrey cautiously placed a hand on her shoulder.
Elsa focused on how callused Korrey's hand was, rough from always carrying a skateboard or longboard. She focused on the small circles Anna's thumb was drawing on the nape of her neck. She focused on the distinct lack of pressure. She focused on the warmth radiating from the two women, both protective. She drew stength from their com fort. "I am certain he was going to rape me." She said, surprisingly steadily. "He had his hands up my shirt, he'd started yanking my jeans down and was holding me against a wall. There's no doubt as to what he would do." She inhaled deeply. " A police car drove by and freaked him out. I Pulled myself together and limped barely half a block before Anna found me and took me home. When I told her what happened she took care of me and later told Korrey. Korrey did what she did to Hans for doing what he did to me."
She finished her story and it felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Anna had a bright smile and was squeezing her thigh proudly while Korrey had a soft but immensely pleased look to her, as she gave her shoulder a gentle thank you squeeze. Exhaling she felt the panic leave her and she relaxed back into the chair.
"Well, this certainly brings Mr. Mantagna's claims and complaints into a whole new light." Korrey looked painfully hopeful. "I will take this into consideration. Thank you for telling me this miss Frost." He stood from his desk and opened the door. "Now if you don't mind miss Frost and miss Christian, I'd like a few private words with miss Hawke here."
Korrey tensed, but it was so subtle only Elsa noticed it as she felt the flex of muscles and the tendons in her wrist popped just a little harder than they had a few seconds ago. Anna gave her a confident smile and took Elsa's hand and the two exited the office, closing it behind them.
~X~
When the door finally opened again, Korrey slinking out the door captured Elsa's attention. Her shoulders were slumped and her eyes downcast.
"Did-" Anna started, her voice dying.
"No…" Elsa breathed, her eyes widening.
"Guys…I've been suspended for a week."
"And?" Her head came up and a wide grin erupted.
"No and." Both girls couldn't restrain their sounds of joy and Anna full out leapt into waiting arms. She hugged her tightly and it was returned full force. " I have an hour to clear off campus for the week. But other than that, I'll be okay."
"Thank god, I don't know what I'd have done without my favourite foreigner! "
"Starved and watch T.V on a laptop." She teased. Anna gasped and swatted her on the arm half-heartedly. With a smile so wide it could've torn her face in two Korrey took two steps in Elsa's direction then dropped to one knee in a dramatic sweeping bow.
"Thank you, for helping me stay. I'm so glad you found you courage. What you did in there was incredible." Standing the Canadian swept her up in a large hug and a soft kiss was pressed to her forehead, making her blush hard. When she was released Anna was immediately in her arms and kissing her.
"Thank you Flurry." She paused then whispered. "Someone's getting rewarded tonight." Elsa's dying blush was reignited and she jerked a bit. Both girls laughed.
"I'm going to let you love her properly Anna, I'm going to say goodbye to Spencer and pack. I'll see you two in a week." With a wave she left.
"Come on, I've got A LOT of love prepared for tonight." A giggling Anna led a furiously blushing Elsa outside.
~X~
A/N: I'm so sorry this update was so slow. My personal life and school became a bit much. But here's a new chapter! This chapter was way more Korrey-centric than I originally planned but It needed to be done. We'll have tons of cute Elsanna in the next chapter. And Kristoff! Again thanks to my beta for proofing this. All reviews, favourites and follows are very much appreciated! Rex is hungry again, won't you lovelies feed him?
