Summary: Elsa makes another mistake around Anna, Elsa once again has fun. What will happen the rest of the night at Anna house?
Finally after a long time Anna said "I need to sit down my feet are killing me." So Anna led Elsa over to a set of chairs. It was only then that Elsa looked around and saw that most of the party had left. Anna apparently came to the same conclusion when a red haired man walked over to Elsa and Anna.
"The party is winding down girls you can go upstairs if you want. You look beautiful tonight sweet heart," the man said, with a pat on Anna's head.
"Thanks dad," Anna said, quietly. Then Anna said "Dad what time is it?"
"A little after midnight," Anna's father said, as he walked away.
Elsa was shocked to hear the time and the expression on Anna's face mirrored Elsa's. "I should get going home," Elsa said, as she stood up and moved towards the staircase.
"This way is faster," Anna said, and Elsa followed Anna to a second back staircase that was behind a door. Elsa followed Anna up and as they past rooms it sounded like most of them had people in them. Anna then opened the door to her room and Elsa's cloths were in the same small pile she had left them in earlier this evening. "You know it's really late and by the time my driver gets you home it will be well after one in the morning. Why don't you just crash here? You can borrow one of my uniforms and we can go to school in the morning together," Anna's idea made a lot of sense. Elsa had planned on breaking into the school tonight, but with her feet and body as tired as they are it probably would be a mistake. "I have a king size bed and if it is too weird for you to sleep in the same bed as me I can sleep on the floor," Anna started to do her rambling thing again.
"No that's actually a good idea. I was just thinking it over. Do you have anything for me to wear to bed?" Elsa asked, and Anna suddenly flashed a huge smile and went over to her dresser.
Anna pulled out a couple of giant shirts, "I usually wear the night shirts to bed is that ok?" Elsa just nodded her head and Anna brought one over to Elsa.
Elsa then turned around and moved her braid out of the way "Can you unzip me?" Elsa then felt Anna's fingers against her skin again and the lightning arched up Elsa's back again. The feeling was indescribable and then Anna's hands moved away. Elsa turned around with the back of the dress hanging open, but with Elsa's arms in the sleeves it didn't fall to the ground.
"Can you help me now?" Anna asked as she moved her braids out of the way. Elsa could see that Anna's dress had a complete zipper with a handle and everything. Elsa unzipped Anna's dress and then moved into Anna's bath room with the night shirt. Elsa changed into the night shirt which felt like a very comfortable dress that hung well below Elsa's knees. Elsa then undid her braid and as Elsa looked in the mirror she thought 'that this was probably a bad idea staying at Anna's house,' but the night was very late and with this party going on the police would be out in force. So Elsa picked up the beautiful blue dress and walked out of the bathroom.
Anna was standing there in her own knee length night shirt and she held her arms out. Elsa laid the dress in Anna's arms and just stared at it. "Do you want to keep it?" Anna asked, suddenly bringing Elsa out of her day dream.
"No I can't –" Elsa started, but Anna interrupted.
"Yea you can. It looks better on you then it ever did me and I have a closet full of dresses. If you want it you can have it," Anna said, with a smile that Elsa had never seen from Anna or anyone really.
Elsa really wanted to keep it because it was such a beautiful dress, but Elsa's father would never approve of it or taking anything from a target. So Elsa simply shook her head and moved over towards the bed. Elsa made sure her pile of cloths was right next to her as she got into Anna's enormous bed. Anna laid the blue dress on top of her green, gold and black dress that was laid on the floor. Anna then moved around to the side of the bed that had the alarm clock on it. That was how Elsa assumed was the side that Anna slept on.
"If you change your mind the maid won't pick it up until after we leave for school. Good night," Anna said as she clicked off the light in the room. Elsa didn't even feel Anna move as the bed was so big and spacious. Elsa couldn't keep her eyes open any longer as she quickly drifted off to sleep.
Elsa was in a cocoon of warmth. Elsa couldn't remember the last time she had felt so warm and safe. It was like there was a hot stone lay next to and kind of on her. Elsa wrapped her arms around the stone and held it close as it was filling her body with warmth. Elsa didn't want to let the warmth go, but Elsa knew she was awake and it would be time to work out. So reluctantly Elsa opened her eyes and noticed that the ceiling she was staring at wasn't the ceiling of her current house. Elsa looked down at the warm rock she was holding in her sleepy daze wasn't a rock but a tangled mess of strawberry blonde hair. Elsa's heart started to race when the memories of the night before came flooding back. Elsa had spent night at Anna's house and Anna had moved over at some point. Now Anna had her head on Elsa's chest and was using Elsa as a pillow.
Elsa tried to slide out from under Anna, but Anna was firmly latched on so Elsa had two options wake Anna up so she could leave or wait for Anna to wake up. Every fiber of Elsa screamed to just push Anna off and get up, but there was a small part of Elsa that didn't want to wake Anna up. Elsa pushed Anna's hair away from her face to see if Anna was awake or not. Anna's eyes were closed still and she breathed very deeply like she was still asleep. Looking down on Anna's sleeping face and the smile that twitched across it won the battle that was raging inside Elsa. Elsa would stay still and let Anna enjoy whatever dream she was dreaming. Elsa had often woken from a wonderful dream so disappointed that it wasn't real and Elsa didn't want to do that to Anna right now.
The only other problem that Elsa had was that there was nothing for Elsa to do with her hands. Elsa had trouble holding still and when she was awake always needed to be doing something with her hands., either playing with her braid or a napkin or a piece of paper. Elsa's hair was completely out of reach underneath them and Elsa had moved away from the edge of the bed so she couldn't even reach her pile of cloths. So Elsa fiddled with the only thing in reach and that was Anna's tangled mess hair. With all the moving that Anna must have done to reach Elsa it showed in her hair. So Elsa decided to start by straighten as much of it as possible with just her fingers as a comb.
Elsa was able to get it divided in half and the half that Anna wasn't laying on was mostly straight. So Elsa decided to French braid this half of Anna's hair. Elsa had only ever played with her own hair as Elsa didn't have any siblings or even female cousins while growing up and playing with hair was actually kind of fun. Elsa didn't even try and suppress the smile that came as she continued all the way to the end of Anna's hair. Elsa then looked around and saw that Anna kept ribbons around the banister of the head board of her bed. So Elsa pulled off Anna's signature color of green and tied the braid off. Elsa felt quite proud of the job that she did specially with such dry frizzy hair.
"You want to do the other side now," Elsa's heart dropped at hearing Anna's voice. Anna then rolled over and looked up at Elsa.
"I'm sorry I thought I would let you sleep, but I'm –"
"A fidgeter, I have noticed. I'm sorry I used you as a pillow," Anna said, with a smile and Elsa smiled back. Elsa then reached down and started the same process on the other half of Anna's hair. The other side was considerable easier, because it had been molded flat from Anna laying on it. Anna let out little noises as Elsa worked and every noise made Elsa's heart race.
"You ok?" Elsa asked as she pulled the last bit of hair into the braid.
"Yea it feels good. I haven't had my hair French braided since my nanny left years ago," Anna replied, with her eyes closed and a huge smile on her face. Elsa finished the rest of Anna's lose hair and pulled a gold ribbon off the banister and tied it off. Anna then sat up and looked away from Elsa "How do I look?"
"I'm quite proud of it since you hair was dry and totally frizzy. You look amazing as always," Elsa put her hand over her mouth shocked at what she just said. Elsa couldn't believe what she just said and Elsa felt totally embarrassed. What would her father say about the events that just transpired? Elsa knew that he wouldn't say anything he would just get the switch.
"You think I always look amazing?" Anna said, as she started to turn around to look at Elsa.
The last thing that Elsa wanted was Anna to look at her right now. So as Anna moved to turn around it freed Elsa from under Anna. Elsa quickly rolled out of bed and stood up facing the bathroom "can I take a shower in your bathroom?"
"Sure. You ok?" Anna asked, as Elsa quickly picked up her cloths and moved into the bathroom.
"Yea. Which towel should I use?" Elsa asked trying to change the subject. There were two green towels and two white towels in the bathroom.
"The white ones. You sure you are ok?" Anna asked, again.
Elsa ignored the question "I'll be quick so you can take one."
Elsa started to close the door when and the last thing she heard was Anna say "Take as long as you want I took one before the party last night." Elsa turned on the cold water to shock herself back to her senses.
Anna watched as Elsa closed the door to the bathroom. Anna had done something wrong to make Elsa uncomfortable, but she didn't know what. If Elsa wanted Anna to get off of her chest she could have moved Anna or said something. Instead Elsa just finished French braiding Anna's hair. Anna pulled the braid over her shoulder and saw that Elsa's job braiding was perfect. Anna could never do just a perfect job braiding her own hair. Anna just sat there thinking what she could have possibly done to make Elsa so uncomfortable, but couldn't come up with anything. One moment Elsa said that Anna looked amazing then the next Elsa ran away.
It was like Elsa was two different people. The person that Anna saw that first day of school and most days was one person. Then there was this entirely different person that only came out at such rare random moments. It was like Elsa was torn between the person she wanted to be and the person she was expected to be. One cold, subdued and almost frightening and then there was this other half that was warm, caring and loving.
Anna's alarm clock started buzzing and it jarred Anna out of deep thought Anna was in. Anna rolled out of bed and grabbed a fresh uniform, fresh underwear and quickly changed. When Anna saw her hair she was amazed at the job that Elsa had done. Not a single stray hair out of place or missed. The braids were tight and Elsa was right it did look amazing. Anna finished dressing just as the shower turned off so Anna moved over to the door to ask if Elsa wanted to borrow a uniform. Anna then could hear Elsa talking to herself. "Get yourself together. Don't feel. Don't feel," Elsa's voice sounded like it was in pain almost.
Why would Elsa be telling herself to not feel? What doesn't she want to feel? Anna thought to herself. Then a thought crossed Anna's mind that she immediately dismissed. Elsa couldn't possibly feel that way towards Anna. They had just met a few days ago and Elsa couldn't possibly be, well she never said she wasn't. Anna just stood there looking at the door as it started to open, "Do you want to borrow a uniform?" Anna then saw Elsa move out of the bathroom with her uniform on from yesterday. Elsa was deftly braiding her own hair in one large long braid with her blue ribbon hanging from her mouth.
Elsa shook her head as she moved past and Anna could see that Elsa once again had changed back into person that Anna saw on her first day of school. Whatever Elsa had been feeling was gone for now, but whatever it was that Elsa was feeling it now made Anna question what she was feeling towards Elsa.
"You ready?" Elsa's question jerked Anna out of her thought process and Anna just nodded. Elsa grabbed her bag and Anna then opened the door heading towards the kitchen. Elsa followed closely behind as they went down stairs.
When they entered the kitchen Marcus already had Anna's usual breakfast sitting on a plate. Two pieced of toast with jam on them, "And what would Miss Elsa like for breakfast?" Marcus asked.
"I'll have what she is having," Elsa said, as she pointed at Anna's plate. Marcus quickly whipped up a second Anna's special as he had started calling it years ago.
"Ma'am I recommend we leave soon if you want to make it to school on time," one of the guards called out from the side door that lead to the garage.
Anna looked towards Elsa and Elsa gave Anna a short nod. So Anna led the way to the car and they were off to school. Anna just stared out the window thinking about this morning and what other things Elsa could be trying to talk herself down from.
"You ok?" Elsa asked, from across the car and Anna looked over at Elsa. Elsa clearly had some concern written on her face and Anna realized that she normally talked the whole car trip when Elsa was in the car. Today however Anna hadn't said a thing and they were almost to school.
"Yea I just wasn't sure if I had upset you this morning," Anna told a little lie that was a partial truth. Anna had thought that this morning before she heard Elsa talk to herself.
"I'm sorry about that. It was nothing you did. It was all me and I might have overreacted a bit. You did nothing wrong," Elsa explained, telling Anna only a partial truth. Anna didn't blame Elsa for not telling the whole truth. Anna had seen and read about other girls that confess their feelings about other girls and things go very wrong for the one that confessed.
Anna smiled "Ok I just didn't want you to be in a compromising situation. Of course you could tell me anything really and I wouldn't judge or think differently of you." Elsa got a really shocked and confused look on her face as Anna spoke. Anna knew at that moment what caused Elsa to seem to be two people at once. Elsa was homosexual and she liked Anna. Of course Anna didn't do anything to dissuade Elsa, maybe Anna even done a few things to encourage Elsa without meaning too.
"Ma'am we have arrived," a guard spoke softly and informative only. Anna gave Elsa a smile and moved out of the car. Anna waited for Elsa to get out before they went into school. Anna had taken a liking to not having to stop at her locker between every class. Instead of the way Elsa did it, Anna only carried three classes worth in her bag so that she only stopped at her locker twice during the school day. Anna went to her locker and traded out her things. Anna knew that she wasn't going to be able to concentrate on school much today, because she had to try and figure out what she felt about Elsa. The last thing Anna wanted was to segregate Elsa more and Anna was not a heart breaker.
I know my Elsa in this story is a little OOC. I thought about what Elsa might have been like if that person that she wanted to protect wasn't there at the beginning. What if her parents still told her to conceal and not feel without that other supportive reason? What kind of person would that make? We will see a more in character Elsa soonish. We will also go into more back story for Elsa and Anna's parents, but the readers will get that information when Anna and Elsa learn about each other.
