A/N: Hey guys, it's me. So, I haven't posted in 5evers. (My bad) I've just been really busy with the end of the school year. But now that it's summer, I have some spare time, not a lot but still enough where I can start publishing more!
So, it took me a while to write this chapter because well... My life obviously and I got a bit distracted with my next story. Whoopsies hehehe
But, I'm telling you now that I am NOT going to drop this story. I'm still going to finish it to the end and well... yea that's pretty much it. Sorry I've been really MIA lately. But, this chapter is mostly just fluff, fluff and... fluff. Eurghhhz.
But yea, I plan on having three more chapters and the epilogue? Hahaha almost there guys! Anyways, enjoy!
"Ready?" Elsa sat in the driver's seat with her seat belt on and her hands on the wheel. Her leather chairs were clean and oil-free.
"Yep!" Anna exclaimed with a smile on her face. She quickly turned her head right to face Elsa, causing her hair to quickly turn as well in the process. A few strands of her hair fell in front of her face. Elsa simply smiled happily at the girl in adoration. She reached over and tucked the few strands of hair behind Anna's ear.
Anna blushed deeply at Elsa's gesture and placed the navy blue hood on top of her head. Elsa simply rolled her eyes and giggled slightly. She started the car and they drove off. Elsa could hear Anna's small yawn and frowned slightly. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to leave at 5 A.M. the next morning. Elsa saw with her peripheral vision that Anna had her head slightly tilted downwards to the left with her left hand out in the open. Driving with her left hand, Elsa extended her right hand forward to clasp over Anna's hand. Elsa saw Anna's lips curve slightly upward and her face slowly soften and relax. Letting go of the wheel on a neighborhood road for a second, Elsa turned on the radio. She immediately placed her hand back on the wheel and watched the radio connect to her playlist and songs on her phone. Thank goodness for technology.
Elsa could feel Anna slowly relax, eventually going to the state where she was asleep. Elsa would occasionally glance at Anna, her smile growing slightly with each glance she took.
The sun was slowly rising up in the air and the smell of snow and vanilla filled the car. As Elsa kept driving onto the road, her surroundings become more recognizable to her. The Audi kept driving down the road, with the song Unconditionally playing softly in the background.
Elsa's Audi slowly came to a halt in front of a homely wooden cabin that was painted a light blue. Elsa parked her car and unbuckled her seatbelt. She glanced to her right; her right hand still placed onto Anna's left. The strawberry blonde sat on the seat in the same position, her breathing shallow and soft. Elsa slowly pulled her right hand back to herself and stopped the engine. She pulled the keys out of the ignition and got out of the car, closing the door softly and quietly. Elsa ran to the other side of the car and opened the door, where she carefully unbuckled the seatbelt that held Anna onto the seat.
Elsa pulled her white sleeves up to her elbow and started to latch one arm underneath Anna's knees while the other arm was around the middle of her back. Elsa picked Anna up carefully and pulled her out of the car. She turned on her heel and kicked the car door shut with her foot. Elsa walked on the dirt path up to the blue cabin. Halfway there, Elsa saw Anna slightly lift her head up and look ahead with droopy eyes.
"Where are we?" she yawned loudly. Elsa looked down with passion and replied in a soft tone.
"We're at my childhood Anna. Once we get in, we'll go back to sleep okay?" Anna just nodded her head and fluttered her eyes shut.
"This place is comfy." Anna mumbled before taking a sip of her hot chocolate. The fire in the fireplace crackled in the background while Anna slumped against the blue love seat. Elsa was in the connected kitchen, cooking up spaghetti. The aroma of the dinner wafted through the house. Anna glanced behind her to see Elsa turning off the stove and starting to set the plates ready. She smiled happily at the sight and their setting.
"Dinner is almost done. I just have to touch it up." Elsa said, already pouring the spaghetti onto the two plates. Elsa looked up to see Anna simply nod her head in response before taking another sip of her hot chocolate.
"You make the best hot chocolate." Anna commented, placing her mug down. She looked over her shoulder once more and watched Elsa grab the two plates and make her way over to where Anna was seated. That was quick. Elsa placed down their dinner in front of them and sat to the right of Anna. Anna leaned forward and grabbed her plate and fork, saying a thank you to Elsa before digging in.
Elsa simply nodded her head and smiled softly at Anna before grabbing her own plate as well. The two sat there and ate in silence for a bit. Once they had arrived at the cabin earlier this morning, the two of them just laid there in bed throughout the whole morning and afternoon, sleeping in and probably secretly staring at each other.
Both of them had gone up right before the sun was about to go down. The two of them then went outside and sat at the edge of the dock with their legs dangling inside the lake. They sat there together and watched the sky turn from a bright light blue into a golden orange and eventually faded to a dark blue.
Once the sun had gone down, the two of them walked back into the cabin hand in hand. Elsa suggested that she would make dinner and started boiling the noodles as well as making the hot chocolate. During the time, Anna sat on a stool and watched Elsa with interest. Eventually, Elsa shooed her away to the couch and shoved a mug of hot chocolate to her. Anna accepted it gratefully and made her way over to the couch, where she would indulge in her hot chocolate and occasionally glance back to watch Elsa for a quick moment.
Then, everything else went down which is how they were here now. The two of them sat there and ate their spaghetti in silence. Eventually, once both of them had a half full plate of spaghetti, Elsa placed her dinner down and turned her whole body towards Anna. Anna looked at Elsa through the corner of her eye and shifted her body as well so that she was facing Elsa.
"So tell me about yourself." Elsa started. Anna shrugged her shoulders immediately in response.
"What is there to tell?"
"Let's start off from the beginning." Elsa smiled when she saw Anna's eyes brighten immediately.
"About my childhood? " Anna squealed and Elsa simply nodded her head in response.
"Sure."
"Well, I entered school when I was five and let's just say... I was the loudest kid in the school." Anna giggled and Elsa simply rolled her eyes at that statement.
"Seems expected." Anna vigorously nodded her head in response.
"My parents had just started Arendelle Records around the time I entered school. I always watched those movies with them where the parents abandon the child for work. But, they promised me they would spend every single moment with me. Work can come by and go but family is something hard to obtain." Elsa bit her bottom lip and looked away. Anna continued on without noticing Elsa's behavior just yet.
"I met Rapunzel when she told me to be quiet after I had … tooted in class." Elsa turned her head immediately, her eyes widened and her mouth open agape. Anna looked down, blushing furiously at her statement. After a few seconds, Elsa went into a fit of laughter while Anna just shook her head in disbelief.
"And you know what was even worse? Rapunzel just gave me this disgusted look and then shook her head. She looked around the classroom from left to right and once the coast was clear, she made the loudest toot ever. She then went over to be and patted my back, saying that I needed to learn from the master." Anna laughed slightly while Elsa doubled up in her laughter.
"Laugh all you want, but that turned out to be a beautiful friendship. My parents would always take us out every Friday night to movies. We would all get dinner right after and have our own little sleepover." Anna smiled at the memory of it.
"I probably wouldn't be here without my parents. They were always there for me, supporting me through my cheerleading and school. They never left me out there you know? I leaned onto them for support and they gladly helped me and guided me throughout life." Anna looked up at Elsa to see her distant now. She was looking off into the fireplace, roaming into her own world. Anna leaned over slightly and placed a hand on Elsa's cheek, causing Elsa to snap out of her trance and turn her attention towards Anna.
Anna sadly smiled at Elsa and asked.
"Why don't you tell me about yourself?" Elsa pulled herself away from Anna's grip and shook her head.
"No, we're not done talking about you. " Anna's lips curved slightly downward in response to that statement.
"I think that my life was pretty simple. I just lived life, followed my friends and leaned towards my parents. Now, it's your turn."
"What can I say?" Elsa sighed, running a hand through her hair.
"Maybe you can start off with your childhood? As far as you can remember!" Anna gave Elsa a supportive smile. Elsa simply nodded her head in response and started.
"Well, my family owns this small company. The company has two locations, one at my old home and one here. Back in New York, I enjoyed life with my parents. We would go do family stuff you know? Eat dinner together; go out together and get ice cream. My childhood life seemed perfect until fourth grade came along." Elsa stopped and Anna carefully grabbed Elsa's hand and looked at her, her eyes shining with support to continue.
"Well, Belle and I were best friends during the time. We planned out our whole summer together, and our whole future in middle school and high school you know? We were going to go have sleepovers, hang out, go on road trips and more. But, my parents came and told me that about the move and that's when it all went downhill." Anna placed her empty plate on the table and leaned slightly forward, wrapping her arms around Elsa's neck and pulling her in a small hug. Elsa simply held her breath throughout the hug, not knowing exactly what to do.
Anna pulled away from the hug and looked into Elsa's eyes, her bottom lip curving slightly inward. Elsa continued on with her story.
"From there, they promised me that we would still be a family. It wouldn't be like those shows where the parents separate from their child and choose work over them you know? But, their company just started getting popular. When Kristoff, Olaf and I met, my parents talked to them afterwards. They wanted to make sure that the friends I made here were the right ones. I guess Kristoff and Olaf appealed to my parents where they decided that it would be fine for me to be alone with them."
Anna sat there, her mouth closed and her eyes focused on Elsa. Elsa simply let out a breath and tightly closed her lips together. Another silence filled the room. Elsa opened her mouth then closed it again in defeat.
Anna's lips curved slightly upwards, her eyes shining with pity and sorrow. She leaned slightly forward and embraced Elsa in another hug. This time, Elsa responded by burying her face into Anna's shoulder.
"I'm sorry." Anna mumbled, feeling her shirt become slightly damp. Elsa tightly clutched onto Anna for dear life.
"I'm sorry, not for just your parents, but for my actions. It must've been a pain in the ass to deal with everything." Anna waited for a response, for anything. But, nothing happened. They sat there, Anna's arms around Elsa while Elsa had her face buried into Anna's shoulder. Eventually, Anna felt Elsa's breathing turn steady and soft.
Anna slowly pulled away from Elsa, making sure her head didn't suddenly fall off her shoulders. She didn't really have the muscle to carry Elsa up to the bedroom, so that wasn't an option. Instead, Anna decided to awaken Elsa. But, the moment that Anna looked at her tear-stained face, her courage slipped away.
So instead, Anna placed Elsa gently onto the couch. Anna stood up slowly and made her way over to a closet down the hall. She eventually came back with a blue blanket in hand and a cloud shaped pillow.
Anna gingerly lifted Elsa's head, placing the pillow underneath and tucking her in with the blue blanket. Once that was done, she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss onto Elsa's forehead, smiling slightly when she saw the corner of Elsa's lip curve slightly upward.
Anna then went back to the closet and grabbed a pillow and a blanket for herself. She made her way back to the loveseat and sat down on the wooden floor.
Gosh, she was definitely going to get a horrible back, but it didn't really matter. And so, Anna laid back onto the hard wooden floor and slowly drifted into the dream world with not so much of a struggle, knowing that Elsa was right next to her in an odd way.
Anna saw a bright light through her closed eyelids. She groaned slightly and tried to turn her body around in order to avoid the hazard. But instead, her body never budged at all due to something holding her down. Anna groaned again and fluttered her eyelids open, slowly readjusting to the brightness of the room due to the sun. Once her eyes were fully open, Anna looked upwards to see Elsa in front of her.
Elsa laid there on her side with her right arm around Anna's waist, pinning her down from moving at all. Her mouth was slightly parted and her hair was down and tousled all over while her bangs concealed her right eye.
Anna just looked up at Elsa, her eyes shining with admiration. Elsa was breathtaking, she was stunning and she was-
"Stop staring."
"I'm not staring, I'm gazing." Anna laughed slightly. Elsa just shook her head, a small smile plastered onto her face.
"You look pretty creepy when you 'gaze'." Anna frowned slightly and pushed Elsa's lightly on the shoulder. Elsa's smile just grew slightly.
"I'm just kidding. You look beautiful as always." Anna blushed deeply at the comment while Elsa's smile changed into a cocky smirk.
"I-I-I'd appreciate i-it if you…" Anna started, earning a heart-warming laugh from Elsa. Anna simply blushed deeper and buried her face into the crook of Elsa's neck.
"Let you go?" Elsa breathed, feeling Anna nod her head in response. She continued.
"Nah, this feels nice. Plus, it's only nine in the morning and we're practically stuck in the middle of the woods somewhere. Not like we have anywhere else to go." Elsa mumbled, placing her chin on top of Anna's head.
Anna simply scoffed while Elsa gave out another chuckle and slowly unwrapped her arm from Anna's waist. Elsa stretched out, her arms extending up and her shirt riding up. Her abs were slightly revealed due to this action.
"You're staring again." Elsa murmured, resulting in Anna's face turning into a deeper shade of red. Anna slowly sat up and looked out the window, trying to make her face change back to its original color. Elsa simply laid back and looked up, staring at the brown wooden ceiling above them.
"You know…" Elsa started. Anna turned her head to look at Elsa's expression. What once was a silly smile plastered on her face with her eyes gleaming bright had turned into a face in deep thought, her lips were together and kind of moved to the side while her eyes kept searching the ceiling. She continued.
"My parents were actually pretty nice. Even though they never really came back, they still provided me with a roof on my head. They gave me enough money to enjoy life and live by myself. And sometimes, they would send me packages from where they went, consisting of souvenirs and a handwritten letter from both of them." Anna watched Elsa's icy blue eyes slowly move its way down to Anna's teal ones from the ceiling.
"They weren't the best parents but they weren't the worst either." Elsa breathed. Anna simply nodded her head and laid back again, wrapping her arms around Elsa's neck and placing her head right above her chest. She could hear the heartbeats resonating through her body. Elsa leaned her head forward and buried her face onto the top of Anna's soft hair, breathing in her scent and taking it all in.
"I would really like to meet your parents one day Elsa."
"I'm sure they would fall in love with you the moment they see you." Elsa whispered. Anna simply nodded her head again. That's what they mostly did when they were in these kinds of situations. They just nodded their head, showing some kind of understanding to each other and showing some kind of way to tell each other that they were there now, and they weren't going to be running away anytime soon.
"Is that all you do at the beach?" Elsa yelled from the lake, the water reaching about around her neck. About three hundred feet away was a small waterfall that dropped down onto the lake that Elsa occupied in. Elsa had decided to show Anna a place where her parents would always take her too, also bringing a picnic basket for later. Anna lay on her blanket that was neatly laid on the grass. The heat was beating down onto them, showing that the winter wasn't here yet.
"Aren't you going to get full body sun burns like that?" she yelled again from the lake. She watched Anna sit up and take off her beach sunglasses and glare at Elsa slightly.
"No, I will not." Elsa simply chuckled and admired Anna for a moment from the lake. Anna wore a baby pink matching bikini top and bottom. Breathtaking as always.
"Who's the one staring now?" Anna said smugly, causing Elsa to simple roll her eyes and slowly get out of the water.
Anna placed her sunglasses on and laid back onto the blanket again. Elsa arrived by her side and sat down with her legs crossed.
"Can't help it." Elsa pointed out. Anna shook her head with her lips curved slightly upward and her cheek bones being higher than usual.
"But I can help you with something." Elsa winked.
"And what would that be-EEE" Anna screeched when she felt two slender arms wrap around her waist and pick her up.
"Stop tanning, it's not good for you." Elsa pouted while Anna struggled and kicked constantly.
"Put me down!" her yells slowly transformed into giggles as Elsa kept making her way towards the lake.
"You know, as much as I should say I like you for who you are and such… I really don't like a burnt girlfriend so I'm going to cool you off a bit." Elsa snickered. Anna clung onto Elsa for dear life as she closely approached the lake.
"What if the water is f-freezing cold and—" Elsa simply shrugged her shoulders.
"Then I'll keep you warm." Elsa said simply as she approached the edge of the lake. Anna looked down to see the lake water surprisingly clear. The water sparkled in the sunlight and instead of having dirt beneath, there was sand instead.
"Let's go Princess." Elsa laughed.
"You know I was serious." Anna said suddenly. The two of them laid on a soft blanket near the lake they just swam in. Elsa dressed back into comfortable clothes while Anna wore one of her baseball tees.
"Serious about what?" Elsa asked, glancing up from the picnic basket that was between the two of them.
"About meeting your parents." Anna laid on her stomach and leaned forward, having her arms keep her up.
"Why would you want to meet them?" Elsa looked back down at the picnic basket and slowly took item by item out.
"I feel like it's a phase in a relationship you know? Where the girlfriend meets the parents and vice versa." Anna mumbled and Elsa looked up at Anna, an eyebrow raised but a smile plastered on her face.
"Who said you were my girlfriend?" Elsa laughed and watched Anna paled.
"W-w-ell I-I j-ju-just a-assumed…" Anna started. Elsa simply smiled at how adorable she was when she got all nervous.
"I'm just kidding Anna. You'll see it coming." Elsa laughed slightly, moving her gaze back to the picnic basket. Anna huffed towards Elsa's joking manner.
"Elsa, I'm serious!" Elsa sighed and removed her hands from the picnic basket. She closed the basket and moved it on the side. She then looked back at Anna to see her face slightly turn red. Elsa sighed and said.
"My parents are just my parents. You don't need their approval if they aren't going to be around the whole time."
"It's not about just having their approval! I just want to meet them you know? See how it was to have those kinds of parents and how they act." Elsa looked away, a very known habit she would do in these kinds of situations.
"Look… I just don't want anything bad to happen if you meet them. My parents are very judgmental at some times." Elsa mumbled. Anna let out a soft sigh and nodded her head.
"I'm sorry… I just wanted to—"
"It's fine, don't worry about it. Maybe one day, you could meet my parents and I could meet yours? Through some kind of dinner or something." Elsa finished as Anna nodded her head.
"That was amazing." Anna moaned, laying on her back and patting her stomach gently. Elsa simply smiled at her in admiration.
"You still never had dessert yet." Elsa laughed. Anna frowned slightly.
"What kind of dessert is it?"
"Chocolate cake with fudge icing and truffles on top." Elsa laughed when Anna's eyes widened.
"That sounds like something that could give me diabetes." Elsa rolled her eyes at her comment.
"So you don't want any cake?" Elsa asked. Anna simply shot up and turned towards her with her mouth opened agape and her eyes wide with shock.
"You're crazy! Of course I would want some." She said quickly. Elsa simply nodded her head and pulled out the cake from behind her. Anna leaned forward and glanced at the cake. It took about three seconds to turn Anna's face from shocked and surprised to glee and happiness. Her mouth closed shut and her smile grew, spreading from ear to ear.
"Yes… Yes!" Anna squealed. She sat up a bit more and pounced onto Elsa, embracing her in a hug. Elsa laughed, her cheeks rising slightly up and her lips curving upwards rapidly. She wrapped her arms around Anna and hugged her back. The two of them pulled away after a while with Anna on top of Elsa. Anna had her arms caged around Elsa's head to keep her up. The sun shined down on the couple and Elsa looked at Anna in awe. The sun shined just enough where this could be the most beautiful cannon. Elsa placed both her hands on Anna's cheeks, caressing them with her thumbs. They both gazed into each other's eyes, icy blue meeting the teal ones.
"I will never run away from you ever again." Elsa whispered.
"And I will never let you go ever again." Anna mumbled. Elsa watched as Anna slowly leaned down and her eyes fluttered shut. Their lips met slowly together and melted into each other.
A/N: So I hope you liked that chapter or thought it was decent at least. Like I said, difficulty with time and all. I typed this chapter up for about two months due to having not a lot of time. So I would basically type probably a paragraph for a day and not come back to it till a week later... Hehehe.
Anyways, I just want to thank whoever else is still here reading this little story and being able to read through all of my grammatical problems and such. #Thestruggleisreal
But, about my next story... I'm pretty sure I'm going to name it Give Me A Reason. It's still modern but it isn't all those high school and colleges stuff. It's about a serious Anna(stop laughing) that's dedicated to her job and all and she meets Elsa, who somehow changes her for the better and for the worse. Her job means everything to her but since Elsa came, she's having doubts. Oh yea, and there's this bitch on the loose that wants to kill everyone. I forgot to mention that last time didn't I? Whoopsies
Anyways, Thanks yall and I'll see you soon for the next update!
