6. Deux

Author's Note: Have you figured out yet. If so, please keep it a secret. I think I have give enough clues by now. Please do not spoil it in the comments.

"Really, do you think its okay. But what about your roommate, um, Rory? Where would she sleep?" Why am I asking this, what if she realizes about the fact that her roommate will not just agree to trade her bed for mine. Especially if she knew the things that have happened on it.

"Elsa, I don't care what she thinks. Its not like I'm going to ask her to move to a different room..." No, is she, am I dreaming again? "we would just have to share a bed as usual Elsa, not biggie right?"

Is like she could read my mind. She traversed the puzzling labyrinth of my sick psyche, and found the happiness I seemed to have forgotten about. My eyes opened wide and a smile that I have trouble describing, was bubbling in my face, I felt light, it was exciting. We would be together again, just like I dreamed... well not exactly, but we would be together regardless. Together, as we were meant to be.

"So, is it okay if I pack my things, right now, and, and..." can't breathe, its so exciting! "I'll just, go. See you at your room, Anna."

"Sure, I will order some food and wait for you in our room." Our room, that sounded, how could I describe it... delicious.

I walked to my dorm, or floated, or danced. I felt light as a feather. Other students were looking at me, they must have, I couldn't care less. This feeling of pure happiness was suddenly ripped away from me by the dorm room's door. I would have to confront her, the Anna in the mirror, let her go, let her know that our nightly rituals will no longer be.

I take a deep breath and just go inside. I start packing the few items I had took out of my suitcase and putting my laundry in a big black plastic bag. All this while hyper focusing on keeping my sight away from the looking glass behind me.

"So, is there anything you might wanna tell me? Something like… thank you" I remained silent and kept on packing.

"Oh, thank you my love for lying to the shrink so she wouldn't notice I'm a sick deviant lusting for her own sister… Stop it!, Anna, stop talking thru my lips. This is over, I-I don't need you anymore. I have the real Anna and… And what? Did she confessed that she is a sis con like you, Elsa?" Hot tears took my eyes hostage, I looked down, disappointed and my fists clenched, because I knew she was right. Of course she was right, we are the same person after all, I'm alone in this room talking to myself. It felt real, and, it hurts. Why would the world make the perfect girl for me an impossible girl.

"Thank you, Anna. If it wasn't for you I would have gone insane, you helped me sleep, you made me bolder, you loved me when I needed love, you made me accept the feelings I had concealed away for so long."

"See, that was not so hard. I will keep helping you, but… you need to tell me what is the plan from now on. Will Anna be just a fantasy, impossible and terribly close to us- I mean you, or, are we moving forward with my plan?"

I took the red wig from the desk and put it in a cardboard shoe box. I might need Mirror Anna to help me no matter what my plan is. If I choose to seduce my sister, I will need her strength and determination. And, if I choose to live denying the truth, I will definitely need her...

ooo

I'm very excited about this. It always is. Can't wait to see the look on her face. All this time hiding her away, making sure to never say or use the wrong term and spoiling the surprise. Nothing like the first time, right?

"Ha, what's so funny Anna? You're smiling at instant cup noodles."

Come on Anna, hold it together, now Rory knows that you are up to something. "Nothing, just remembering this morning during volley course, I scored a point with my face. I've been a bit distracted, but, at least that time it payed off." And just like this morning: 'She dives head first and saves the point'.

Lucky me, she smiled candidly and proceeded to check on her steamy hot cup of her beef flavored noodles. A couple of minutes after, I heard someone calling my name from the corridor and a couple of knocks on the wood, Elsa was here. I opened the door slowly to create a fictional slow pan into the corridor. And there it was, my sister, a shy smile on her face and her maya blue eyes as bright as usual. I take her suitcase and let her in, and immediately turn to look at the petite blonde eating noodles in the desk at the other side of the room.

She rushes into swallowing the food in her mouth before standing up and walking clumsily toward us. She extends her hand to my sister and welcomes her to the room. "Oh, you must be Elizabeth, Anna has told me a lot about you, I'm Aurora by the way but you can call me…" And suddenly she becomes a statue, her eyes go wide as she stares into Elsa's blue eyes, her nose sprinkled with subtle little dots and her prominent cheekbones. Finally she realized. Her eyes then scan me, looking for those same trades. Her mouth goes a gape and she inhales soundly in a gasp "T-Twins, you, you two, why? Why didn't Anna, Anna you why would you hide this…? Need to calm down, can't breathe!".

That is exactly what I was expecting her reaction to be. I know it is kinda weird to get any pleasure from seeing someone in shock after seeing two beautiful ladies that are almost two drops of water, but oh I think it has grown into me.

We are the same height, both have freckles although Elsa has less prominent ones because she hates the beach for some reason, our eyes are light blue and big, our nose is tiny and curving upwards, we have rather big ears… but I'm starting to love them as part of us now.

Rory, sat down in her bed with the help of Elsa, and slowly calm herself by practicing breathing exercises similar to the kind we use on volley practices to maintain our stamina. Then my sister's hand is presented to the breathless green eyed blonde. "I'm Elsa Fagerström, Anna's twin sister. I'll be living with you from now on. I hope we can get to know each other and be friends, Rory." She shakes hands with Elsa, she looked a bit flustered and smaller, I could swear she became a year younger right there. I guess she has that effect on people. Elsa's voice is deeper than mine, maybe to differentiate herself from me, or maybe we are just different in our tones. Maybe to sound more mature.

"...so identical twins, but, your hair is… which one of you dyes her hair?" Natural on her to be this curious, to respond to her I only pointed at my head, the reminder showing slightly at the roots. I need to dye it again soon by the way.

As per usual she had the basic questions to ask twins people gather from movies, and as usual we would comply and respond all of them: "Elsa was born three hours earlier, but she is not the older one no matter what she tells you!"

"Well, I'm almost a whole inch taller than An-Anna… It's true Anna, stop looking at me with those knife shaped eyes." Lies!

"Elsa hates the pink color and hates gourmet cheeses, and pop music."

"Anna is the sporty one, I'm the smart one I guess..." Oh she wants to get poked in the ribs with that attitude aye. "...ow, stop it Anna!"

"I started dyeing it red a few days before we got into high school. Elsa was against it and was very vocal about it..."

"I was afraid she would no longer be Anna, that she would stop being my twin sister, it was a hard concept to understand even if I was not really a child anymore by then. All those thoughts disappeared once she did it and asked me to help her with the hair dryer. Then with her hair dry and shiny she looked at me from the reflection in our vanity mirror, her smile was still there, she was still my sister even if our hair didn't match anymore." She then hugged me from the waist as we sit next to each other on my… on our bed, pushing me a little closer to her, just like I like her to do.

What I wasn't expecting was Elsa then turning to face me, still keeping the tight grip on me. The way she was looking at me made me shiver and I felt cold for a second… a burning cold sensation ran thru my spine as she kissed me softly. It was a normal kiss, but being in front of Rory, it made it feel… wrong, well, not wrong… I can't explain it. Then it was over, it was not even a second long.

"Is, that something normal for twins?" Is it? We never really cared, but, we also knew that we shouldn't do it in public. Oh god, what should I tell Rory. She was blushing, but not nearly as bad as I was.

"Don't worry about it babe, we have been doing it for all our life, is not different than holding her hand, or hugs or sleeping together." Babe? I thought that was reserved for me Elsa… Since when is she so casual and relaxed. She didn't even stutter when explaining.

Our conversation continued when we moved to the desk by the window to ate the noodles and then some more time when we finished. I'm glad Rory was satisfied by Elsa's reply. Also that neither of them seem to care that I didn't order food but instead got the cheapest form of nutrition I could find in the dorms machine.

As the night fell upon us and the twins topic got pretty much cemented in Rory's mind, our conversation was about a variety of themes, and Rory and Elsa seem to share many interests. Not surprising really, they are both the quiet and thinking kind, they are both blond and beautiful even when they don't realize it.

Still Elsa's behavior lately has changed, is not bad, but I wonder from whom she got those phrases and… the bravado. She seems less anxious, more open, like she had nothing to hide. But she can't fool me, no sir, I know she is hiding a few 'secrets', yet I will do nothing about them, not now when she finally has came back to me.

We changed into or comfy sleeping wear, no bras allowed, no sexy undergarments or silly see through lingerie, just plain colored t-shirts and soft cotton shorts. Elsa's must be really short it looked like she was not even wearing any, but I know she is not that kind of girl.

"Um, I can wear something else if you want me to Anna. You seem to be uneasy about me not wearing shorts..." She tries to pull her shirt lower to cover her thighs just slightly more.

"No, pf-ff, its fine sweetie, just get over here. We should be sleeping already." I tap next to me on the bed. I think Elsa likes to be closer to the wall, I guess it be me falling off the edge of the world in my dreams one of these days. She lays down next to me, so we are facing each other. She holds my hand and I can feel her heart beat on my palm. It felt… natural, like an instinctive remedy applied onto my skin.

Now, all I need is to stick to the plan, make her come clean about the thing. Oh, how I missed our sleepovers...
