There was something about the little snowman that had a specific charm. Perhaps it was the fact that his body was disproportionate or his love for warm hugs, maybe even the fact that he had no experience with heat whatsoever and wanted contact with summer. Nonetheless, Olaf was a constant presence in the castle and everyone loved him without a doubt. Even now, as the first rays of morning broke through her window - she could hear the snowman's humming outside of her door. Olaf made it his duty to be the girl's alarm clock, and even though he could be a little persistent - it was nice to have him around. A soft tapping sound roused Anna from her sleep and she groaned before opening one eye. The door knob turned and a carrot nose poked in before switching left and right and slowly yet surely, a little snowman with a flurry of his own stepped through with a sunny smile. Anna pretended to be asleep as he teetered towards her peeking close to check if she was still asleep.

Upon noticing that her eyes were closed, he tapped her cheek before patting her on the back several times. Noticing that it wasn't working, he poked underneath her arm pit causing her to squeal and roll onto her side. The rolling however caused her to become tangled in the blankets and topple over the side of the bed. Falling to the ground, she struggled against the blankets while Olaf shrieked and came to her side.

"Don't worry Anna! I'll save you!"

Anna giggled inside of the blankets although it was becoming increasingly difficult to get out of them. It took a few moments for her and Olaf to free her from the rather soft prison. It took them about a half hour to make her bed and another hour to get Anna ready for the day. Olaf helped her comb through her hair untangling the kinks and controlling the wild mane. He picked out a dress for her and although she had to spend a few minutes explaining to him that the dress doesn't go on backwards and that she couldn't create one out of ice like Elsa, she was able to get dressed in the closet. Patting down her dress, she placed her hands on her hips before looking down at Olaf who gave her a sunny smile feeling absolutely glad that he was able to help.

"Hey Anna? I have a question."

The two were walking down the hallway in search of breakfast when Olaf broke through the soft humming song that Anna was accustomed to singing. She looked down at him to find that he had stopped just a few inches away from her looking outside one of the windows that stood tall adjacent to the walls in the hallway for which she often paced throughout her lonely days. Standing next to him, she looked down and noticed the courtyard spread before them along with two of the servants and their young child laughing and playing about. It must have been their day off if they weren't attending to their duties. The sight made Anna smile albeit it was quite sad considering her own parents were gone, but she had Elsa, Olaf, Sven, and Kristoff - they were her family now.

"Anna, why don't I have parents?"

She blinked and looked down at Olaf who stared up at her rather confused.

"Why don't I have parents like you and Elsa, or that child?"

Anna didn't know how to respond. She and Elsa created Olaf when they were younger but that was merely because she wanted to build a snowman. She never knew that he would actually come to life or have feelings at any point, it still took her some getting used to - talking to a snowman and all. Rubbing the back of her neck, she wasn't quite sure on how to explain the birds and the bees to Olaf and hoped desperately that Elsa strolled along so she could sherk this awkward encounter onto her elder sister. Although, Olaf's distraught look caused Anna's chest to constrict and she knelt down to the snowman's height so that they were eye to eye.

"Olaf, you're.. a special case when it comes to having parents. I mean, Elsa and I- uh.. we were uhm.. you see, we're.."

This was harder than it had to be and she didn't have the slightest idea on how to begin. Folding her arms, she thought on it for a moment before coming up with a solution.

"When Elsa and I were younger, we made a snowman that was exactly like you. Heck, it could have been you! Anyway, when Elsa left and went to her ice fortress she made you again and gave you life. So I guess in some way, Elsa and I are your parents, Olaf."

The light that illuminated the snowman's smile was almost too bright for Anna to see. In the next instance, she found herself engulfed in a hug by the small snowman. Even though he couldn't wrap his arms around her fully, his head was against her chest and his arms were at her side embracing her. She smiled softly and returned the hug and patted his back not minding the small flecks of snow that were falling on her head along with her arms. It was worth it if Olaf was happy, and his hugs were always warm even though he had to keep cool.

A small ways away, some servants had gathered along with the Queen who began to shoo them away. She smiled over her shoulder with a soft blush forming as she watched the scene unfold. A few moments later, Olaf and Anna walked through the doorway to the dining hall to find Elsa already seated and eating. Anna could feel her face heating up noting that she was probably late for breakfast. As Elsa's eyes rose to meet her own, she could see a bit of color had tinted her sister's cheeks. Gulping hard, Anna watched as Elsa's eyes held her own in a warm gaze. It seemed as though time had slurred and the only ones there was her and her sister. Elsa's eyes captivated her, and she could see the billowing storm inside but there wasn't blistering cold, there was warmth and love there for Anna and she smiled knowing that it was only for her.

"Anna, aren't you coming to eat?"

Knocked out of her stupor, she watched as Olaf teetered towards Elsa to give her a hug before taking a seat next to her. Prepared to take her chair on the opposite side of the table, she noticed that Elsa was giving her a pointed look before gesturing towards the chair to her left. But that was reserved for.. Looking from the chair to her sister, Elsa gave her a hooded eye look with a shy smile and Anna's heart was beating harder.

"I-I..."

She rose from her chair to take her place next to Elsa and stared with her hands in her lap. As the servants came to give food to her and a small treat to Olaf, they gave her soft smiles and pats on the back that only caused her to deepen her blush. Underneath the table, Elsa's hand touched hers and the warmth combined with the coolness of her hand allowed a smile to form on her lips.

"Isn't this wonderful? We're eating just like a family!"

Olaf's comment spurred a surprised look from Anna and Elsa smiled knowingly though fondly at her sister's reaction.

"Elsa is my mom, and Anna is my dad! Right?'

Anna wondered if her face could darken any more than it already had. This was absolutely insane. Her and Elsa? Although her heart had been beating all of this time, and she often dreamed of waking up to her sister or sharing her life with her - it was absolutely wrong. Familial love broke the curse on her heart, not romantic, but.. the feelings occurring in her chest couldn't be wrong - right? She loved Elsa, and she would do anything for Elsa even if it meant giving up her own life again. So, could this be wrong? Could this happiness with Olaf and Elsa be wrong? Looking towards the happy snowman across from her and then the woman sitting next to her, she could feel Elsa's fingers curl around her hand as if silently asking for her answer.

What would the people in the Kingdom think? Anna would be able to take their persecution but Elsa had lived in fear all of her life. What would she do? Would she retreat again? Would they turn against her? Take the nobility away from them both and tear them apart? She couldn't even think of life without Elsa and the others, life without Elsa. The thought scared her half to death and she clenched her teeth and curled her fingers into fists trying not to dwell on it but the thought caused her chest to constrict.

"I want.."

The images flashed before her mind. Being torn away from Elsa, watching them with their hands on her sister dragging her further in the black. Being unable to touch her, to help her, to even attempt to speak to her. The loneliness ate away at her and yet at this very moment everything was okay. They were okay, it would be okay because as long as she was with Elsa - as long as they were together, they would conquer the storm.

"I want this to never end, Olaf.. Elsa."

Raising her eyes to meet her sister's, Elsa smiled softly and when their fingers intertwined it felt as though nirvana was reached. The interaction seemed to go over Olaf's head but the snowman was happy nonetheless. After breakfast ended, Elsa and Anna walked the corridors holding one another's hands and sharing soft smiles. The servants rarely came to the eastern wing where their rooms were considering they were not used to it.

"Elsa?'

Her sister glanced towards her only to be pulled flush against Anna's body and into a deep kiss. As their lips touched, Elsa seemed to melt in Anna's arms becoming immersed in the warmth which was her lips. When they parted, a sheepish smile formed on Anna's face as Elsa's arms wrapped around her neck and her arms wrapped around her waist. Although familial love solved their curse, a romance formed from it that couldn't be wrong. For love was a beautiful thing that should be cherished and appreciated no matter the circumstances, and Anna couldn't cherish anything more than Elsa and their love.

Lets brave this storm together.

"I love you."
