Because some of you asked for it...
"Psst, Elsa. Wake up!" A soft whisper woke her up. The room was still a bit dark so she figured it was still early. She tried to ignore the voice but even then it kept on insisting. Her eyes were finally open, although she could not stop herself from blinking slowly. "It's 6:00AM c'mon." Everything was still a bit of a blur, her eyes had not adjusted quite yet but by the flashes of red she could see every time her eyes remained opened enough, she knew Anna was trying to get her up.
"Let it be seven, or eight. What's so special about six?" She pushed herself up on her arms. If she really needed to wake up she couldn't remain lying down.
A giggle filled the silence in the room, it echoed in her ears. Memories from the previous night came running to her, and inevitably the blush on her face. She did not understand her body's reaction; after all she had shared everything she kept hidden with Anna, except about how she really felt. And then it clicked.
No wonder she couldn't get up, she had slept like she never had before; more relaxed than ever. But what made the difference? She knew the answer immediately.
After they made their way into Anna's room the previous night, Anna proceeded in telling Elsa her life story. Her childhood incidents, her school memories, the countless number of times she got in trouble. She talked about Kristoff and all the crushes she had. She talked and Elsa would interrupt her from time to time, usually making some witty remark. In the end they both just couldn't help but share a laugh. It continued that way until very late at night, sometime shortly after midnight. When their eyes began to feel heavy and their thoughts became almost incoherent, they decided it was time to head back into bed.
"We've spent the majority of the day lying in bed and in your room." Elsa said as she yawned and got under the covers.
"Yeah, yeah. It's called thanksgiving vacation for a reason." The redhead stood up to close the doors leading to the bathroom and the closet.
"What? Are you scared a monster is going to get you?" Elsa couldn't help but laugh at the look of annoyance on Anna's face. "I'm kidding." She finally said after Anna pretended to stay mad.
The younger girl then walked back to her side of the bed. Like the previous night, she remained as far from Elsa as she could, although she wasn't afraid of completely drifting off to sleep and losing control of her reactions. She waited a few seconds before turning off the lamp, she stared at the ceiling. "What a day, huh?" She turned her head to the left, she had to look at Elsa. The blonde only nodded and smiled. That was her cue; it was time to really go to sleep. The thought of what happened just a few hours ago remained with her, even after the lights went out and it was almost completely dark. She knew that must have been a hell of a fight for Elsa and that gave her a smile. It was a small victory, after all.
"Thanks, Anna." Elsa had said softly. The redhead believed Elsa had fallen asleep, yet there she was. She heard the other girl's body shift.
"Anytime, Els. Anytime." She yawned again but Elsa continued talking, her voice was becoming almost inaudible.
"You have no idea how much this really means to me... To finally have someone's acceptance." Anna realized that it wasn't often that Elsa said words like that. Her voice was becoming distant, as if afraid to be heard.
Anna wanted to say so much. She wanted to make Elsa believe in herself, her innocence. "Mhmm..." The words she wanted to say remained in her head, her body was reacting too slow for her speech to process.
Elsa noticed and smiled to herself. She turned back around to face Anna again. Her eyes were no longer open and she knew she was trying really hard to stay awake. She noticed her tense body and how far in the edge she remained again. Elsa had never been the type to be spontaneous; everything she did was because she needed to and because she had planned it before hand. As she lay there however, she debated the consequences of what her actions could bring. She couldn't stop herself, she craved the other girl's embrace and before she realized, it was too late to stop herself from moving forward. She scooted in closer to Anna, the redhead was still somewhat conscious even if she was almost asleep. Elsa grabbed the arm farthest from her and pulled it over herself, along with Anna, who seemed to have awoken after the contact.
"Elsa... What- what's wrong?" She was more tired than confused which caused her to slowly pull away.
"I need it, Anna. Please?" She needn't say more, her voice was pleading and Anna complied. She stopped fighting and trying to pull away as soon as Elsa consented. Turning to her left side, she wrapped her arm over Elsa's while at the same time pulling her back towards her chest.
They spent the whole night like that. Well, the few hours that they'd managed to sleep. Why was Anna up so early anyway?
"Anna. It's six?" She said with an inquiring tone, to which Anna smiled. She let go of the blonde's hand, she'd been holding it since they went to sleep. Elsa noticed and pulled it back towards herself, a bit shy with the contact.
"Wow Els. You're braking out of habit, aren't you?" Anna tried hard to put an astonished look on her face.
Oh, shit. A morning run.
"I'm not letting you go back to sleep." Anna continued as she noticed Elsa's eyes beginning to close again. She stood up, walked around the bed and looked at Elsa's long figure. She examined the best angle, and after a few seconds she grabbed Elsa's hands and pulled her. Elsa's eyes quickly flew open, a bit scared at the anticipation of what Anna could do.
"I'm up. I'm up!" She protested, yawning as she walked to find some clothes.
"Great, I'll be downstairs." Anna stood in her spot for a while, arms crossed against her chest and an excited smile. Why was she happier than usual?
"Anna, how are we going to go for a run with this snow?" Elsa dragged her feet on the ice coating.
"Relax, Elsa it's not that bad." Anna was obviously too excited. Elsa knew that it could snow for a year, non-stop, and Anna would still be excited about it every day.
The redhead pulled Elsa's hand, encouraging to keep going around the park, but the blonde was still hesitant. "C'mon, Elsa. You need something more interesting in your life," she mocked the girl's comment on her taste of TV shows, but Elsa was too preoccupied with the snow that she didn't notice. Maybe Anna needed to find a different approach. She walked around her in circles."See, it's not that bad." She attempted to increase her speed just to prove her point and it seemed to be working because Elsa was staring at her like a complete idiot. Anna didn't stop, Elsa's smile was worth it and so she kept running around her.
As she almost made another complete circle in front of her, the somewhat melted snow she had been stepping on became more slippery and as a result, it became harder for her to calculate her steps. She almost made it in front of Elsa when suddenly her foot slipped back instead of remaining in place. Luckily for her, Elsa was close enough to grab on to. In the heat of the moment, Anna held onto her arm with more force than she meant to. Maybe the fall had increased her momentum and Elsa was falling down with her, or rather she was falling down on Elsa. The whole incident took less than two seconds, but the way they stared at each other while on the ground, with their faces closer than ever, took an eternity. Taking their eyes off of each other was impossible; they were locked then and there, hypnotized. Anna knew she had to get up, but she didn't and Elsa didn't seem to mind. She didn't push her away or protested in anyway, so why should she get up? The moment was perfect; she didn't need to ruin it. Maybe it was too perfect for...
Anna's phone began to ring, causing her to jerk her body up immediately. Both girls became aware of their surroundings and blushed as they came back to reality.
"Hello." Anna stood up awkwardly and walked a few feet away as she answered her phone, she needed to avoid the look on Elsa's face. "Oh, yeah mom. I figured. Say hi to them for me. Tell them we'll miss them at thanksgiving." Elsa stared at the girl in wonder. She couldn't believe what could have happened had she not received the call. She tried not to think about it much, but it was inevitable, and she had done nothing to stop it...
"So... My parents will be heading out of town today but they should be back tomorrow." Anna stated awkwardly, fidgeting with her phone.
"Something came up?" Elsa asked, knowing Anna wanted to avoid the other topic, diverting her eyes.
"My uncle and his family won't be here for thanksgiving, so they'll be visiting them and taking some food. I told you, my parents are kind of weird. They're taking a whole turkey!" Elsa smiled at her, shaking the snow off her jacket and struggling to get the white beanie in place. Anna fought hard to restrain herself from helping her.
"I'm sorry about that... I've made you get all wet. We should probably head back home." Elsa couldn't be happier to comply.
"I'll make breakfast while you hop into the shower." Anna had said as they walked into the house. Elsa didn't bother arguing, she needed the shower after what had just happened.
Elsa walked into the kitchen immediately after her shower. Anna was still busy in the kitchen, which explained the scent of chocolate all over the house.
"Smells really good in here." She said as she inhaled. Anna had not noticed Elsa walk into the kitchen, or the way she stared at her enthusiastically as the redhead tried to place the egg omelet perfectly on a plate.
"Let's just hope it tastes as good as it smells." Anna walked with the plate carefully in her hands, she didn't want to burn herself, much less make a mess out of it. She could be clumsy sometimes.
"Please, I wouldn't mind having you as my personal chef." Elsa examined the plate carefully.
Oh how I wish you had me like something else.
"I'm guessing that smell is-"
"Hot chocolate." Anna finished her sentence before she could, they both shared a laugh.
"Hey, Els?" Anna asked suddenly after taking a sip from her mug.
"Yes?" The blonde responded naturally, calculating where her next bite should be.
"Do you like theater? Like play theater, not movie theater..."
"I love the theater." Elsa swallowed the last few bites she still had in her mouth.
"Well, then you'll be having lots of fun today."
"I had no idea you were into plays, Anna." She shot Anna a confused look.
The redhead smiled wickedly before she replied. "This is different. You have no idea what you're in for."
"Should I be scared?" A little part of her was, she never really knew what Anna was up to but another part of her was happy to spend the day with her. She wondered when was the exact moment that things started to change for her. Specifically, she wondered, when she started having feelings for Anna. Feelings she was still confused about but feelings nonetheless. Maybe she felt that way before she even became aware of them. The words Anna said replayed in her head; she really had no idea what she was in for, but it was a hell of a ride. Anna usually was.
"What are you staring at me for?" Anna asked, the fork on her hand suspended near her mouth. Elsa was too into her thoughts to notice she'd been staring like an idiot the whole time. She looked away shyly which gave Anna the best opportunity for some payback. "You know, Elsa? If I didn't know any better I'd think you were staring at me." The memory of the meeting at North Aim came rushing immediately.
"Are you mocking me?" Elsa asked jokingly.
"I don't know, Elsa. Do you find me intimidating?" She continued. She couldn't help herself, she was having too much fun, the look on Elsa's red face was priceless. Little did she know that it was because Elsa had actually been caught red handed.
"I'm kidding! I'm kidding! You should have seen your face." Anna finished with a laugh. To which Elsa only responded with a push. "Hey don't try to push me off the table, I'm eating here!"
"You deserve it." The blonde picked up her plate and placed it in the sink, Anna turned her head to follow her movements.
"So what you're saying is... I should have pushed you back then?" She had an endearing smile.
"I'm saying I wasn't mocking you so it's fair."
"Fine, fine." Anna shook her head. There was no point in arguing further. Elsa was right, she usually always was.
"Listen, I have some things to do online so I'll be in the living room if you don't mind." She dried her hands on the towel and leaned against the counter, looking at Anna while she finished eating.
"Knock yourself out, I'll be in the garage looking for some stuff."
The latter half of the morning was spent like that, Elsa on her laptop and Anna looking through old stuff. Neither realized it was passed noon, not that it was easy to tell, the sun hadn't shone since the last days they'd been there. Anna was the first to notice; a Facebook notification forced her to have a look at her phone and thus a look at the time. She dropped the box she was holding and quickly ran up the stairs, not even bothering to look at Elsa who was probably too busy doing whatever she needed to do. The blonde didn't even notice when a flash of red walked through the house and made her way up the stairs.
Alright, I have two hours to get ready and a few minutes to shower.
Anna thought before she opened the door into her room. She looked for a towel and some clothes. She stopped before her closet; she really needed to look good, even if she didn't know why she needed to. Before she even tried to think of a reason, Elsa's name popped into her mind.
Of course, why else? She smacked her forehead as she remembered, even though she felt a bit stupid for doing so. She couldn't deny it though, it was impossible; Elsa was the only reason.
After ten minutes she had an outfit ready to go and placed on the arm chair.
That took longer than usual.
She walked into the bathroom and looked around for a place to hang her towel. Elsa's was already in there, folded perfectly and hanging effortlessly. She placed hers next to the blonde's and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. Even though there was a big difference in color contrast, in softness, and in the way they were folded, one more neatly than the other, the match couldn't be any more perfect. Anna loved the view and felt a little ashamed for staring at them longer than necessary. She let the shower run after contemplating on a bath instead but decided that would take too much time. She undressed herself in no time. Anticipation of what the day would be like took over her. She was a bit afraid Elsa would not like what she had planned, knowing she was always very... She tried to look for the right words... Very lady-like and formal. Maybe today would be the day she'd get her to go out of her comfort zone.
The shower had ran for too long, obviously too hot by the way the fog was clouding the bathroom, especially the mirror. She stepped out of the shower and was about to grab her towel but was abruptly stopped by the squeaking of the door, she suddenly froze.
Why was someone trying to come into her bathroom?
She didn't have time to answer that question, nor did she have time to cover her naked body. A certain blonde had already opened the door and was standing under the threshold, awestruck and speechless. Neither of them knew how to proceed. Anna knew she needed to grab the towel and wrap it around herself, but her brain stopped functioning and Elsa's was even worse.
"Elsa..." Anna said softly, shifting her eyes from the blonde to the door and to the blonde again.
Elsa shook the surprise look on her face away. "I'm so sorry... I- I didn't know you were in here."
"No, no, no. It's totally fine." She looked around again. "I keep forgetting I'm not alone and forget to lock the door." She couldn't bring herself to move even a finger, neither did Elsa but the situation finally registered in her head and she quickly grabbed the door handle and shut the door, faster than she expected.
She leaned against it. What else could she do now? That was definitely a sight she had not expected, but deep inside her, there was a part that was glad she did.
"Okay, here's the thing. There will actually be a play but it's different than other plays." Anna said excitedly and she jumped around in her seat, her hands moved every which way, as did her eyes. Elsa loved the way the grin played on the redhead's face.
"What do you mean different than other plays?" She was curious.
"I don't want to tell you because I'm afraid you'll walk out." That declaration made Elsa a bit nervous. Would it really be so bad that she'd want to walk out?
"Anna... Please tell me you didn't bring me to a strip club or something..." Her tone was serious but Anna couldn't help but laugh at the girl's imagination.
"No, no." She couldn't stop laughing. "I'll tell you." Another laugh and she had to catch her breath. "I'll tell you if you promise not to leave."
Elsa had to think about it for a second. She would have walked out then and there but she couldn't leave Anna there by herself, especially after the girl had planned it out. It was Anna, she couldn't just ditch Anna. "Fine, I promise."
Anna gave her a suspicious look but finally decided to tell her. "Okay, there's a reason why we have popcorn. And no, it's not to eat it. Well you can eat it, but it serves another purpose." Elsa looked at her confusedly, eyebrow raised. "You're supposed to throw the popcorn at the actors."
"That's- How? Why? That's rude." Elsa protested. That was the reaction Anna expected of her. Elsa didn't know how to act differently, or crazy.
"Don't worry, Elsa. You're encouraged to do so, that's the fun of it. You can mock the actors all you want." Elsa continued to look at her with disbelief, not that she didn't believe her but rather she did not believe she could do that. It was... spontaneous. Why would she want to throw popcorn at people? Couldn't she just enjoy a normal play?
"A movie would have been much better." She crossed her arms and pretended to be annoyed.
"Oh, c'mon. We've watched too many movies already. Plus this is so much fun. Trust me, you'll enjoy it." Anna reassured her by grabbing her hand and giving it a light squeeze. Elsa looked down at their hands and then into her eyes.
The play lasted a good amount of time, but it wasn't as long as either of them expected. Elsa thought she would dread it, but Anna was right, she was having fun. Anna's presence made it a lot better and she found herself throwing popcorn and running out of it soon enough. Anna noticed and gave her a thumbs up. "Was that really so hard?" She leaned closer and whispered into her ear. Why was Anna making her feel things today. Her body shivered before Anna pulled away again. Luckily she was too preoccupied with the play to notice Elsa's reaction. Despite all the fun she was having, she could not wait to get out of there. She needed some distance before she did something crazy.
The slow drive home was filled with weather reports on the radio and commentary from Anna. 'Did you see that guy?" Or 'I can't believe that happened.' Elsa knew Anna had enjoyed their date, and she had enjoyed it too.
Wait what... Did I just call it a date?!
What's with me today?
Anna suddenly stopped talking and that's when she realized she had been asked a question. "I'm sorry, what was that?"
"Wow, Elsa. First time you're actually not paying attention. What's on your mind?" Anna asked as she pulled into the garage. It was getting dark outside and the house looked dark, which made sense since it was completely empty.
"Nothing much. I guess I'm just a bit tired. We did just get a few hours of sleep last night, after all. With you waking me up early and all." She looked at her accusingly but Anna knew she was kidding.
"It's your fault for getting me into the habit." Anna pointed out and they both got out of the car.
The rest of the day went by like a flash. As soon as they got home, they made their way upstairs. It was awkward not having anyone around, especially for Anna since she was used to the noise and crazy company that were her parents. Having Elsa around was a completely different type of experience.
Both girls decided that it would be best to retire, especially if they planned to go for a run early next morning.
Elsa was shocked when Anna suggested she could now sleep in the guest room and stop pretending.
"Listen, Elsa. I'm not kicking you out or anything but my parents aren't here so we don't have to put up a show." She had said nothing more, but she fully understood what Anna had said. Anna believed they didn't have to pretend anymore, but they did. Or at least, Elsa had to. She had to pretend that she was happy with that decision; she had to pretend she didn't enjoy being close to Anna and sharing her bed. Most of all, she had to pretend that she was still pretending, at least when her parents were involved.
It felt strange lying in bed without Anna by her side. She thought about the countless number of times she'd done it before, and the number of times she'd have to do it after they went back to campus. She didn't like to think about it. If only Anna could be by her side at all times. She'd grown too close to her in just a few days. She was all she could think about, especially that day. The day's events came back to her as she lay on her back. The bed felt different, less soft and comfortable. But she knew the real reason.
She remembered how close Anna's face had been to hers earlier that morning, and how her body had hovered over hers longer than was necessary. She wanted Anna to remain like that for a while longer but that stupid phone call... She remembered how she couldn't help but stare at Anna every once in a while at the theater, or rather every few seconds. She was surprised Anna had not noticed her eyes on her. Inevitably, she couldn't erase what she'd seen a few hours before, and she didn't want to. Even if she did, she couldn't. It was just as if she'd been hypnotized. Anna's naked body was tattooed on her mind.
She tried to shift her body, only to realize the warm sensation between her legs, and the way she'd squished them together without even noticing. Was Anna really making her feel that way? They weren't even in the same room and she had the power to make her wet. If she was confused about how she felt for Anna before, it was more than clear now.
She tried to ignore what her body was hungrily craving, but it was impossible. The image of Anna's body kept coming to her, like a perfect painting occupying and entire wall at a gallery. It was truly captivating. Her lower area felt tingly. How could it not? She replayed the memory again, she couldn't fight it any longer. She loved Anna's perfect shape. Her hips, her waist, how her freckles ran all over her body. She would love nothing more but to explore her all by herself and get lost in her; just like a boat at sea, examining every freckle like a treasure. But she couldn't, Anna was in the next room and she could do nothing more but explore her own body.
She placed her hand under her panties before she could even notice what she was about to do. She didn't care, she had given in to the urge a long time ago. She felt the moisture as she rubbed her hand up and down, feeling herself and enjoying the build up. The more she thought about Anna, the faster her hand moved, separating her lips and running over her folds.
Anna's thighs.
Anna's curves.
Anna's breasts.
She was just perfect. She was all she needed.
She noticed her nipples become erect as she ran her hand over her own breasts. Oh how she wished it was Anna doing all of that to her instead, or the other way around. She didn't mind at all, as long as Anna was involved. But she wasn't, she was just in her head and part of her desire.
"Anna."
"Anna."
"Anna."
"Anna."
"Anna..."
She needed to say her name, even if a few moans escaped. She needed to make it real, needed to taste the way her name felt in her mouth after the thought of her brought her nothing but pleasure.
She said it a few more times, the warmth spreading all through her body as her fingers did all the work. Her moans became louder, but she didn't care, she had to let go. She pictured Anna's lips and remembered the way the redhead had kissed her at her country house, and the kiss they had shared in front of Idunn and Ygrette and that was all she needed to let it all go. She called Anna's name one last time as her body felt the release of pure ecstasy.
