Memories in Moments

"Elsa I really love you. Will you be with me forever?" — "No, Anna." — "Why, Elsa?" — "Because you're annoying, Anna." A disquisition on the lives of Elsa and Anna and the shenanigans they engage in. One-shots about Anna and Elsa's sisterly bond and about how much they love each other. Because nothing is more powerful than unconditional love. Rated K for kute. Sisterly fluff.

4. Reunion (Or What Could Have Been)

A drabble set a few months after the tragedy. Elsa is 18 and Anna is 15 years old.

Crown Princess Elsa entered the dining hall in her usual poised and regal manner. The dining hall was empty save for a forlorn Anna seated at the table. Anna did not notice Elsa enter. Elsa stopped short before her sister and observed that Anna had her arms wrapped around herself and had barely touched her food. She deliberated over her course of action. Seeing Anna like this made her heart ache in a painful way. Of course, Anna never showed the pain she was going through when she would come knocking at Elsa's door every morning. But Elsa could always recognise the hints of sadness mingled in her cheery voice. Elsa neared the dining table.

"Good morning, Anna." Elsa wished her sister. Anna was startled out of her thoughts and looked up realising it was Elsa.

"Oh, good morning Elsa." Anna replied hazily.

…

"Wait Elsa!" Anna blurted as she sprang out of her seat, "you came out. I—" she paused trying to compose herself. "I really missed you." Anna said in a voice thick with emotion.

Elsa who had taken a step back at Anna's outburst tried her best to compose herself considering all the emotion that were going through her at that moment. The longer she was emotionless, the longer she could stay with Anna.

"Please," Anna began with her arms slightly raised, "please, just this once."

Elsa tried to deny her sister, but the words would not come over the lump in her throat. She could not take her eyes away from her sister's tear-stricken face. Anna leapt forward and captured a motionless Elsa in a tight embrace. Elsa stiffened at the contact, but she found herself unable to move away. Slowly the elder sister returned the hug and let go of her tears. The sisters hugged each other fiercely as though they were trying to make up for the 10 years they had been apart.

"D—don't leave me, Elsa." Anna sniffled. "I need you."

Elsa just cried louder. "I—I'm never leaving you. Never again." Harsh sobs wracked her body. "I swear," she gently whispered.
