Author: BUSTED! Yeah I got the idea from Ano Hana, and whoever wants to watch a really good slice-of-life anime then I highly suggest it. But I warn you now, there is a possibility that you will cry (and spoil the ending of this story) But hey-ho. Your choice. Kudos to the guest for figuring it out.
Taking a step back in surprise, Anna blinked a couple of times to take in the changes of the other boy. Gone was the boyish chubbiness around his face that was replaced by meticulously kept sideburns. He grew his hair out a little bit and filled out in both height and muscle department. Hans took a step towards Anna while looking her up and down since they haven't seen each other much in a decade.
"Anna, what a surprise to see you outside your house. People think you would've turned into a hermit by now." He smirked down at Anna and flipped some hair out of his eyes. Elsa frowned at the way Hans was treating Anna, the usually polite and quiet boy seemed to have grown a mean streak. "It seems like sideburns weren't the only thing you have grown Hans, why would you say something so mean like that to Anna?" She stepped protectively in front of Anna and glared at Hans.
"Elsa, don't." Anna mumbled and avoided eye contact with Hans. "Elsa? Oh Anna, you're still not hung up about her are you?" He frowned in disgust at Anna and shook his head in disdain. "I'm surprised they even stopped your treatment, in my opinion, you should be locked up for good. Raving on about some girl who you knew ten years ago, how pathetic." Anna shrunk away from Hans and whimpered softly with every word that came out of his mouth. Elsa moved over to Anna and wrapped her arms around the quivering girl, glaring daggers at Hans.
"Stop it Hans." Anna whispered, which only made him laugh. "Stop it Hans." He mocked in an imitation of Anna's voice. "Anna, Anna, Anna. Have you had enough of your pity party and decided to join the world of the living? Hate to burst your bubble but the world has already forgotten about you. Just like they have forgotten about Elsa." He smoothed out invisible wrinkles in his pristine white Southern Isle Highs uniform. "It is such an embarrassment for me to be seen talking to someone mentally challenged as you, hence I shall not pretend we have not had this conversation nor have we even known each other. Therefore I bid you farewell." And with that he pushed past Anna, making sure that she would stumble back with the impact of his shoulder.
Anna was shoved back and rubbed her shoulder from where Hans shoved her. Elsa was absolutely livid from the things she had just witnessed; she was just about to go after Hans to give him a piece of her mind but was held back my Anna. Turning to Anna her heart nearly broke at the sight before her. All of the fight seemed to have left Anna, the normal fire that could be seen in her eyes had completely died leaving nothing but a dull sheen, her shoulders were hunched as if to protect herself from Hans' onslaught and her head was bowed in defeat. Wrapping the girl in her arms, Elsa whispered words of comfort in her ears as she watched the retreating form of Hans.
"Anna, its ok. I've got you." She petted her hair and held her tightly. Anna squirmed slightly which caused Elsa to loosen her grip and stared down at her. Smiling up at her protective friend, Anna nuzzled her collar before stepping regretfully back from the warm embrace. "I'm fine Elsa, really, I just didn't expect to see him." She rubbed her arm as goose bumps erupted out on it. Elsa spun around to glare in the direction Hans left in. "I did warn you that they have changed." Anna told her with a hint of amusement in her voice as Elsa reminded her of a lioness that was protecting her cub. "I didn't know that things would have turned out that bad, and what did Hans mean by you being mentally challenged and leaving you locked up?" Anna flinched at the question and shrugged. "Just something that happened after you left, I try not to think about it." Anna muttered and began walking again. Seeing that Anna was not about to spill anytime soon, Elsa walked ahead of Anna and began walking the on the curb of the road.
"Be careful Elsa, the cobblestones are slippery, especially since it rained" Anna warned as she looked on warily. Elsa just laughed and waved it off before jumping onto the milestone with a small puddle around it However, Elsa did not see the moss that grew lightly on the stone and felt her slipping once her foot made contact with the stone. "ELSA!" Everything moved as if she was in slow motion, she heard Anna scream her name in pure terror and her view was ever to slowly turning upside down. Twisting slowly she saw Anna's horrified expression mixed with panic. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact of her smashing into the concrete but it never came, instead she heard the slapping of shoes on the road and somebody chanting 'please make it, please make it' before she collided with something soft.
Anna could only stare when she saw Elsa slip off the milestone and at the puddle for a good second before the adrenaline kicked in and sent her body flying towards Elsa "ELSA!" Please make it, please make it. This cannot happen again. Not again. I need more time with her, please. And with every fibre of strength in her being, she launched herself at Elsa and careened into her sending them both tumbling and sprawling on the pavement. Gasping for air, Anna could feel every muscle in her body tremble from adrenaline mixed with fear. Jumping at Elsa she dragged her upright and began shaking her violently. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! JUST WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING IN THAT MASS YOU CALL A BRAIN?!" She howled at Elsa. Elsa couldn't comprehend why Anna was shouting at her like this and smacked her arms away. "Calm down Anna, its not like I would have hurt myself." She scowled at Anna before looking worried. Anna was on the brink of tears; her body still had not calmed down from the sudden adrenaline spike and was still shaking.
"I can't lose you." Anna hiccupped. "Not when I have just found you again." Elsa, feeling guilty for what she said collected the smaller girl in her arms for the second time in the span of twenty minutes and tried to calm her down. By now, a steady stream of tears was making their way down Anna's face and turning Elsa's knit sweater wet. Rubbing her face in her sweater, she inhaled the familiar scent of crisp snow and peppermint that she always had associated Elsa with. "Come." Elsa whispered. "I think that is enough excitement for one day. For the both of us." With one arm wrapped around Anna's shoulder, she slowly led them back towards Anna's house.
And yes the chapters are shorter than what I wrote for the first two, but thats because I don't really know what to write half of the time. I don't usually plan ahead. And time for some advertising XD if you really want to read good story then I suggest:
r9kElsa Is Suffering - AnonElsa (fiction press)
You are - Pmrising
Snowflakes in Spring - Celerysticks
A formal arrangement - Requ
The first two will mess you up badly. The third is beyond cute and the last is just... Yeah. Check them out if you have time.
