Two years later
Living with Elsa for a little more than two years had done nothing to change her sleeping habits. Anna still went to sleep at whatever time she pleased - much to Elsa's distaste - and consequently, the 5:00AM alarm still annoyed her. She was convinced that there was no way she would ever get used to it but waking up next to Elsa, having the pleasure of seeing pale, soft skin as soon as she woke up and the intensifying stare of piercing blue eyes and a warm smile made it all more than worth it.
It had been like that on most days, ever since they moved in into a new apartment of their own. Deciding that living in a dorm room during their junior year would be nothing but inconvenient, especially considering that they were now a couple, had prompted both women to seek an apartment that would satisfy both of their tastes, and needs. After much seeking and a lot of disagreeing, they finally found a small apartment that wasn't too far away from campus and close enough to get to work on time.
College was supposed to be the time for experiences and perhaps some crazy adventures but they had both happily accepted their roles as they settled. They'd grown accustomed to each other, much more than was typical. It was strange when, on occasions, either of them had to go out of town and the other had to stay back home for either work reasons or school. But on days when they were together, they were more than content to spend a few minutes in bed, holding each other together and whispering in each other's' ears.
"We should get up," Elsa said and rolled to the edge of her bed. Anna produced a small grunt that was enough to be considered a complaint and stretched her arm to reach for Elsa, who unfortunately, was already out of bed.
"Come back..." She whined but Elsa only stretched and made her way around the other side of the bed.
"We're going to be late. Well..." She paused as she looked at the screen on her phone. "You might be late, I don't plan on being late to my own graduation."
Anna yawned. Even if she didn't want to get up, today was a special day and Elsa was right. She had managed to achieve another milestone in her life and the least she could do was wake up on time, for once. "Fine..."
Elsa smiled because that did not sound convincing at all and she attempted to turn back and face Anna to offer her a comment but was cut mid-sentence when she suddenly felt warm skin press against her back, two perfectly perky mounds right below her shoulder blades. She lowered her head and smiled, of course she knew what the redhead was up to. Slim fingers crawling down her panties confirmed her theory. She turned around to face her and found a completely nude Anna staring back at her, bottom lip between her teeth and a wicked grin.
"You know..." Elsa wrapped her arms around Anna's lower back and pulled her closer to her. "We really can't be late."
It didn't take long for Anna to dive right into the kiss. She knew Elsa wasn't the type to resist, even if she wanted to. "Yeah?" Was Anna's breathless comment, almost a whimper. Elsa nodded her head slowly and broke the passionate kiss momentarily, ran her fingers through Anna's hair and gently pulled it back, leaving an exposed neck. Accordingly, the redhead tilted her head back, gripping Elsa's head and granting her all access.
Elsa must have forgotten about everything going on inside her head because she didn't seem to mind this slight delay. Anna almost smiled at that because she'd gotten her way but a sudden bite on her neck had her dismissing that thought momentarily. The blonde pulled up for another kiss, pressed Anna's small body firmly against herself and ran her hands all over her. Their need to breathe had them breaking apart every now and then, staring at each other with desire, want and need. It was a mutual feeling, an understanding of reciprocated love.
The looks they were giving each other were quite intense. There was no breakage of eye contact. Wide teal eyes stared up at Elsa, almost begging and the blonde definitely had a look of tenderness in hers.
"You know Elsa… we should really get going…" She stepped back jokingly, wanting to test and tempt her girlfriend. They both knew that Anna was now playing hard to get. Anna was almost disappointed that she'd said that, scared that Elsa wouldn't give in but tenderness and awe suddenly turned into hunger. There was a predatory look in Elsa's pupils.
"I think we have time." Said the blonde, who was now practically digging her nails on Anna's back.
"That's what I wanted to hear." With that, Anna was pushed back into the bed, although not entirely as she was merely sitting on the edge. Elsa kneeled before her and placed each hand on either thigh. On any other occasion she would have taken her time but not only were they behind on time but she also couldn't ignore the warm need between her legs.
"So this is what you want, huh?" Elsa spoke oh so sensually and lightly ran her fingers through Anna's core. The redhead abruptly straightened her back at the sudden wonderful sensation.
"Mhmm," she practically moaned and nodded.
Elsa slightly smiled because she hadn't need to do much to make Anna wet. Not only had their love become indescribable during the years, but their sex life had as well. It was as if Anna had somehow awakened something within Elsa, and it was extremely exciting for both of them.
"What if I don't give it to you?" Elsa teased and Anna knew what she was doing. She'd come to learn what Elsa was into over time and this was one of those things she'd been more willing to show recently. She knew Elsa wanted her to beg and there was not much resisting she could do with the way Elsa was there, before her, looking like she was the only thing in her world. It almost made her feel worshipped. "What if I decide to wait until after graduation?" Elsa continued, her voice was heavier and less rushed. There was no way Elsa would wait until the ceremony but Anna was willing to play along.
"Please, Elsa." She grasped her hair tighter, motioning for the blonde to get to it.
"Please what?" Elsa stared back up.
"Please just..." She took a deep breath in. "Just fuck me!"
And apparently that's all Elsa needed to hear because her tongue met Anna's center in mere seconds. Her hands traveled from Anna's freckled legs up to her stomach and eventually her breasts. She remained like that for a while, caressing them and playing with each nipple.
While Elsa was certainly busy, Anna was finding it hard to remain still, having nothing for support save for one of her hands on the bed. Elsa was doing things to her that made it practically impossible to remain still. She was sure she had pulled at the blonde's hair more than ever, but Elsa did not seem to mind as a moan erupted from her almost every time Anna got too carried away. Without giving it much thought, Anna wrapped one of her legs around Elsa, placing it over her shoulder and onto her back. That caused Elsa to lower one of her hands, immediately seeking to relieve the fire within her.
Anna, noticing, quickly grabbed her wrist and intertwined her fingers along with Elsa's. "No. You're not doing that yet. I'll take care of that."
That definitely appeared to spark even more excitement on the blonde, who worked with her tongue at a faster rhythm and then brought her fingers slowly into Anna. She gasped at first and then released an almost inaudible series of moans and whimpers. To say she was completely wet was an understatement, the sounds of Elsa's fingers hitting against her slick sex were definitely present and they seemed to add a new sensation to the whole situation.
Elsa's rhythm increased again, she alternated this time but was sure to do so long enough to bring Anna to the edge. She new the redhead was close and so she increased the speed slightly, pulling herself up to kiss Anna and staying there long enough to stare into her eyes and pull her face towards hers - forehead to forehead - as Anna reached her orgasm.
She held her close until she was conscious enough to take the whole situation in. Anna leaned in for a passionate kiss and they both stood up with that.
"By the way," Anna started, "it's really not fair that I get to attend graduation with a hickey on my neck." She sucked on Elsa's skin. "C'mon, I'll take care of you in the shower."
A few years back, Anna would have found it unsettling to think that at this moment in time she would have to fully and officially become an adult - a working adult. Things turned out better than she expected them to. She'd secured a job, which not many people were lucky enough to nowadays, she was completely independent and, perhaps most importantly, she was happy.
A look around the auditorium had her smiling immediately. She spotted her parents right away, both too excited and capturing everything on camera. Anna had to resist the urge to roll her eyes and only provided a wider smile for them. After a few other glances here and there, and after a text from Elsa, she managed to spot the blonde sitting a few rows behind from her. Elsa noticed Anna's attention on her and turned to look at her, winking and waving at her. It was a shame that she couldn't sit next to the person she wanted to in one of the most important days of her life. Regardless, even when she wasn't being distracted by the blonde sitting behind her, she had time to reflect on what had become of her life.
The past two years had been quite the learning experience. New priorities were set and she could now clearly see what would become of her life. Nothing had been easy, that much was for sure but she always had the constant reminder that Elsa was there for her. And she was, she had supported her in every step of the way. They'd stay up late practicing for interviews, reviewing reports, or just listening to each other rant about a certain thing they didn't like. Logically, sometimes they'd rant about each other and yes, they made mistakes sometimes, just like anyone else. But the fact that they'd made it this far and the prospect that they could still do so much more was beautiful and it definitely excited them.
Sometimes Anna would worry because she wasn't used to having many good things happen to her. She believed that just because a long series of events occurred, something bad was due. Fortunately, Elsa always reassured her and mentioned that Anna deserved the best and more. She started to believe it herself.
Elsa was definitely the best thing that had ever happened to her. She knew Elsa like the back of her hand, and Elsa knew her. They knew when it was best to respect each other's boundaries and when the other one needed comfort. It was more than a matter of habit, however. It was taking the time and putting the effort to know the other well, to do everything in their power to be there for each other a hundred and ten percent.
"Elsa Arendelle." The name was called up front and Anna could see her girlfriend's figure make her way up front to the stage. There was an immense sense of pride at knowing that Elsa was her and that she was Elsa's. She was the one, the fortunate one, who had the privilege to live and share her life with the girl who'd just received her diploma. Elsa smiled as she was greeted by the dean and the president and, out of the corner of her eye, she could see her parents taking numerous pictures. She couldn't help but laugh and moments later, she couldn't help but wonder what was going through Elsa's mind. Surely, her parents occupied a small part of her thoughts.
Anna received her diploma before it was her turn to receive hers. It was somewhat inconvenient not being able to be there with her, but she couldn't complain much, they were both graduating, after all. Anna was happy, she always was. There was that excited smile that was characteristic of her, the glimmer in her eyes and the countless number of freckles. Gosh, she really wished she could be up there with her. The redhead shot a look at Elsa, somehow she'd manage to spot her amongst the crowd, and waved at her. For a moment, it was as if only the two of them existed in that huge auditorium. Elsa didn't even care if people turned to stare at her after getting Anna's attention.
Once she made it passed the podium and down the steps, Anna walked back to her seat and tried to make eye contact with Elsa during the entire walk back to her seat. The blonde had to resist a giggle after Anna almost tripped and fell twice.
"You two are lucky," a random classmate said to her after nudging her arm. "This kind of love, you don't see it anywhere." He smiled kindly at her.
"It's that evident, huh?" Was Elsa's reply after a nod.
"Definitely, and it's even more amazing that you two get two share this moment together."
Elsa stared into space. What the stranger was telling her was true. It's not that she took it for granted but she had never given it much thought. "This and many other moments, if I'm lucky."
"Elsa Arendelle," her name was called and up she went to receive her diploma.
Taking her by surprise, she walked down to the steps where she knew Anna would be waiting for her. A grin appeared on their faces as soon as they saw each other. They hugged each other and were quickly interrupted by Anna's parents who insisted they take plenty more pictures of them together.
Soon after, they were joined by Kristoff, Ygrette, Olaf and Oaken, all who, despite the protests, insisted on being in the photo. There was a filling of empowerment, and Elsa was sure that that's how it felt to have people care for her, and she for them. She felt invincible, as if anything could be thrown her way and she'd be able to tackle it. She wasn't wrong at all. In fact, if she had to admit it, Anna was the only reason why she was able to so many things. Anna made everything worthwhile.
Oaken pulling her for a hug interrupted her thoughts. She was definitely caught off guard. The sound of Anna's laugh filled her ears and she couldn't help but jokingly roll her eyes.
"Oaken, what are you doing here?" Elsa asked as soon as he let go.
"What do you mean what am I doing here? Your success means as much to you as it means to us." He said it so calmly and provided a smile. One which Elsa was able to return. "That and," he pulled an envelope from one of his inside pockets. "-I thought there wouldn't be a better time to deliver the good news. You have been promoted."
Elsa stood, speechless. She had never been good at expressing her feelings, or showing excitement, unless it was with Anna. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She really did not know what to say.
Anna suddenly hugged her tightly from behind. "Elsa, congratulations! You deserve it!" The blonde could have sworn that Anna was more excited than she was. But when was Anna not excited?
"Thank... Thank you," she said as Anna pulled her tightly again. "And thank you Oaken."
He shook his head and cut her off before she could say anything else. "You really did deserve it and as for you Anna," he patted her arm. "You too would have achieved many things had you stayed with us."
"I would have loved to but it might not be ethical to work alongside my partner." She threw a quick glance towards Elsa. "Besides, traveling is one of the perks of my new job."
"Ah!" He almost yelled, "then congratulations are in order. I'm happy for you two. Things are looking up."
In Elsa's perspective, things were indeed looking up. The people around her were the proof to that. Several years ago she wouldn't have thought that her sister would be there, joining her in one of her milestones. And then there was Anna. To put it frankly, she was the happiest she had ever been.
Not long after, everyone gathered around and ended up heading to Arendelle Estate. Ygrette had insisted that a graduation was worth being celebrated, especially taking into consideration that there were actually three graduates.
The ceremony had lasted longer than expected, which made sense since everyone was trying to get out of each other's way. In the end, however, the day - although a bit long - had gone according to plan. Even the brunch and later the dinner that Ygrette planned had been quite pleasant. Anna's parents left not long after dinner, after many hugs and countless goodbyes. They wished the girls the best and begged them to visit home soon. Of course they couldn't refuse.
After the long day, Anna and Elsa now sat in the gazebo, tired and with not much to say. They were simply content to be next to each other under the stars and with no one to interrupt them.
"I can't believe they're getting married." Anna says out of nowhere.
"I couldn't believe it either at first, but I've come to terms with it. Although it's hard for me to picture Ygrette being married. Kristoff I can totally see."
Anna sighed, "I guess we have all grown so much. It's easier for us to accept our changes since we've technically lived through them. I mean, I still remember that day when you felt bad for not tipping the waitress even after a horrible service and you wouldn't stop talking about it all day."
That caused Elsa to laugh, "please, I don't think I've changed in that aspect at all."
"You're right." Anna caressed Elsa's hair. The blonde was leaning on Anna's shoulder. If she was being completely honest, she could almost fall asleep with her touch. "I wouldn't want you to change anyway." Elsa only hummed.
They stayed like that for a few more minutes until Anna finally pulled out her phone. "What are you doing?" Elsa asked.
Anna said nothing and instead only provided a mischievous smile. "Remember this?" She asked and showed Elsa a video that she had completely forgotten about.
"Anna, really? I look ridiculous falling out of a plane..." She pretended to be upset but it was hard not to smile, especially since Anna still had that video of her. "But if this is how we're remembering our recent years, I have something to show you as well." Elsa pulled out her phone this time and in a few seconds had a video of a screaming Anna running out of a haunted house.
"I can't believe you have that!" She said in astonishment but managed to laugh as well. "Why do you have it anyway?"
"For the same reason you do. I guess I want to cherish the memories. Why do you have that?" Elsa pointed at Anna's phone.
The redhead shrugged before providing an answer. "For posterity, I guess. That and... I want to be able to look at this for years and years to come and I want to see your reaction every time I play it."
"So we're in this for the long run huh?"
Anna nodded. "We are. We actually are."
AN: Just one more to go...
