An Elsanna Fanfiction

Chapter 3: Day Off. Date On?

Elsa awoke with a start; her back aching a little as she realized she had fallen asleep with her legs off the bed. Sitting up and rubbing her back, she glanced at her alarm clock to find it was only one in the afternoon.

Good. I haven't been asleep that long. I should get back, Elsa thought, moving to the mirror in her room to adjust her hair and clothing before exiting her room.

Immediately upon exiting, she could hear the usual banter between her teammates, and from the sound of it, they were in the kitchen. As she walked down the hallway toward the source of noise, Elsa let out a sigh as the thought of putting up with Hans pervaded her other thoughts. Even dealing with the rest of the team felt like a monumental task, and she didn't even really mind the rest of them.

Aurora needs to get better – then Shang could just get rid of Hans and the team would be so much better off, but as It is, we're stuck. We have no substitute for ADC and he knows it. "Jackass", Elsa quietly growled as she rounded the corner.

Lunch, it seemed, was much simpler than breakfast, as the team and Shang were currently seated around the counter eating sandwiches. Elsa shrugged, her eyebrows arching slightly as she made a move to access the sandwich fixings.

"Oh, Ms. Frost, what would you like? Here, here, let me. You just have a seat," Anna shooed Elsa away as she turned back to the cutting board which was surrounded by various deli meats, cheeses, and bread.

"Heeeey, what's up, Snowflake?" Sven called out as Elsa approached the counter, "did you have a good nap?"

At Sven's greeting, Anna jolted as if electrocuted, going rigid and turning around swiftly, plastering her posterior to the counter, a fierce blush shooting up her chest to her face. How did they know?! They can't see through my… no way- oh. He was talking to Els- uh, Ms. Frost, Anna discovered as she realized the "Snowflake" Sven was referring to was Elsa, not the snowflake on the back of her panties. However, her reaction did not go unnoticed.

"You okay there, jumpy-pants?" Rapunzel asked, cocking an eyebrow at her now beet red cousin as Sven and Kristoff exchanged a puzzled glance with each other.

"Uh y- yes, thank you, Pun- er, Miss-" Anna stammered, turning around again to face away from the six sets of eyes now directed at her.

"Okay yeah, that can stop too," Hans interjected from the corner where he stood, sandwich on a plate, untouched. Anna glanced over, half curious, half annoyed at Hans' perpetual state of being an ass. Before she could decide which half she wanted to harness, Hans continued. "Stop the 'mister' and 'miss' crap. We aren't some super formal group. I already told you. It's Hans, Kristoff, Sven, Rapunzel, and Elsa. Got it?"

Anna, choosing not to be goaded into another argument, turned her back to Hans and faced Elsa instead, "What would you like on your sandwich?"

"It's fine. I've got it," Elsa said, moving once again to the collection of food.

Anna relented and chose to back away, allowing Elsa access to the countertop. Elsa offered her a small smile before sighing, "As much as I hate to admit it, Hans is right; we do typically go by first names around here." Elsa looked like the admission of Hans being correct actually physically hurt her as she turned to make her sandwich.

As Anna stood by, her stomach growled, attracting Elsa's attention. Smirking, the blonde nudged the loaf of bread toward Anna, flipping the knife she was holding around to offer it handle first to her as well. Anna gave an embarrassed smile as she took two slices of bread from the loaf and retrieved the knife from Elsa's hand, their fingers grazing each other's ever so slightly. Anna noticed Elsa freeze for a split second before pulling her hand away and returning to make her own sandwich.

A short while later, appetites had been sated and the team had just started to relax when Shang ordered them all to their computers to resume their practice. Anna, feeling somewhat isolated decided to take the time to go shopping to restock the flat with ingredients and supplies that she preferred. Fingering the black credit card she had been given, she gathered her things before pausing at the door, looking over her shoulder. She was just about to announce her departure when she realized, somewhat depressingly, that in all likelihood, no one cared, and so she simply departed without fanfare.

Anna couldn't help but feel a disconnect between herself and the Winter Wolves – they were a team – a unit. She was just… there. There to help support the team, but not really one of them, and that notion saddened her a little more than she felt it probably should have; especially considering the fact that most of the team knew nothing about her, and aside from statistics on their game play, she knew very little about them as well.

Two hours, a cab ride, and what was probably entirely too long inspecting a potato later, Anna finally began to unload her selections onto the conveyer belt at the local grocer. As she was finishing up, she heard a snigger from behind her as a woman's voice whispered, "Stop it, Rupert, so she made a mistake, that doesn't make her less of a person – we all make mistakes."

"Yeah, she made a mistake alright. I'd be surprised if she hasn't abandoned him yet. It's a shame though, she was pretty good looking in high school – you know, until she got knocked up because she couldn't keep her legs shut, the slut," the voice sneered, not even attempting to keep quiet, as the comment was followed by uproarious laughter as Anna stiffened, finally recognizing the voice behind her. Biting her lower lip, she fought back the tears that were attempting to escape her ducts.

"Rupert, stop this instant. Those are terrible things to say!" Despite her anger at Rupert, her former classmate, Anna couldn't help feeling a small bit of appreciation for the mystery woman behind her for coming to her defense.

"Oh please, it's her mistake, she's the one who has to live with it. Oh, oh, to top it all off, she's not even straight, so her and Eric never even stayed together. Now she's raising the little bastard child all by her lonely fag self," he said – Anna could almost see him shaking with laughter as her anger bubbled over.

Whipping around, Anna nearly shouted, "Listen jackass, my son's name is Olaf! Not 'it'! And he is not a mistake! Olaf is the pride of my life and I'm sorry if you can't understand that," Anna went off on Rupert as she advanced on him, oblivious to the stares she had attracted as her tirade continued, "Did I screw up? Sure, I should have waited, and I didn't, but that doesn't make Olaf any less of a gift, and you have absolutely no right to talk poorly about anyone. Or should I remind you and your girlfriend here who you woke up next to after prom? How is our former math teacher by the way?" Anna smirked at the way Rupert was back peddling, his cool and calm façade vanishing as his darkest secret was revealed to the general public.

Anna felt slightly bad for Rupert's mystery girl as she glanced back and forth between Anna and Rupert, hands covering her mouth in shock as Rupert tried to stutter an excuse to her that she might believe. Considering herself the victor in the confrontation, Anna approached the woman who was, Anna admitted, beautiful, and offered her hand, to which the woman took it and shook, "The name's Anna by the way, and don't worry," she glanced at Rupert who looked like he wanted to hide under the nearby display of cantaloupe, "I'm sure Mister Starkweather is just fine," she finished, holding in the giggle that wanted to escape as Rupert's girlfriend's eyes shot open realizing the implication of Anna's words.

Anna managed to turn around to swipe the black credit card through the payment system, push her cart outside to the waiting cabbie who began to load the car, and seat herself in the vehicle before she dissolved into a quivering mess of tears, Rupert's comments cutting her deeper than she'd ever let the ignorant asshole see.

By the time Anna had returned to the flat, she had composed herself back to being presentable, thought her mind still reeled with the fact that five years had gone by and it seemed her class still remembered her only as the gay girl who got knocked up. Forget about any of her achievements in high school or after, she was just some dumb redhead who slept with a friend and got pregnant.

Some legacy, Anna sighed as she paid the cabbie and brought the groceries to the flat with the assistance of an employee who happened to be headed in that direction. Next time, bring a cart down or something, she thought to herself as she finally arrived at the flat, thanking her helper before unlocking the door and stepping inside.

Anna set the groceries down beside her as she looked toward the computer desks just in time to see the word, 'Defeat' in blood red displayed across the screens of the five team members. The team in question was facing Shang who was lecturing them on all of the mistakes that had been made that game. What caught Anna's attention was the way everyone was acting. Sven and Kristoff were relaxed, leaning back in their seats, but definitely not paying attention. Rapunzel and Elsa were dutifully studying the replay of their last game that Shang was showing them, but Rapunzel kept glancing at Hans and rolling her eyes. For his part, Hans just blatantly ignored the screen and Shang – Anna could see he wasn't looking at the screen, but rather was looking over it, at the wall, his hands shaking as his arms were folded across his chest.

Anna quickly strode to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of vitamin b12 dropper, mixing some of it into a glass of water before approaching the group as they were finishing up the replay.

"Okay, back at it, Elsa start the invites and-" Shang began before being cut off.

"Excuse me, sir, but may I speak with you for a moment?" Anna asked as she handed Hans the glass before shrinking back slightly as six sets of eyes turned to face her.

Shang nodded before approaching the redhead questioningly, "Yes Anna, what is it?"

"Mist- er, Shang, they need a break," she stated as Shang looked at her skeptically.

"What they need is to get back into a game. They should not have lost that last game. They threw it – hard. They need discipline and to do it again, except this time without all the screw ups," Shang said irritably.

"Look, I apologize if this is out of line, but you're losing control of your team – Sven and Kristoff weren't even paying attention, nor was Hans for that matter. Rapunzel clearly had her mind elsewhere," Anna felt slightly bad throwing her cousin under the bus, but it was true, "in fact; the only team member who was paying attention was M- Elsa. On top of that, Hans' hands are shaking rather profusely and that will make his playing suffer. I just gave him a vitamin that he's probably lacking, but he needs to relax, and that's not going to happen if you throw them into another game," Anna finished, still attempting to adjust to calling everyone by their first names.

"And just how long do you propose this break lasts? Remember, they have their first matches of the Summer Split next weekend," Shang sighed, conceding that the redhead had a point, but wanting to get back at it as soon as possible.

"Yes, I know, but they need the rest of the day off. No League at all. I know you were planning on having an extra practice this Saturday, but I'd also suggest giving them that as well. They're wound too tight. Any tighter and they'll snap." The two of them glanced over at the team as Anna finished.

"Fine," Shang acquiesced before turning to the team. "Alright, listen up. Shut down your computers – all of you. Take the rest of the day off, but no League. I'll see you all tomorrow," Shang said as he retrieved his belongings and left the flat, the five members of the Winter Wolves watching him go with looks of confusion on their faces.

Sven and Kristoff were the first two to snap out of the confused haze and quickly meandered over to the couch. The two were soon engaged in another heated battle of GoldenEye, their favorite classic shooter game, as Rapunzel turned to Anna, confused.

"I'm sorry, I'm confused. Why are we not practicing?" Rapunzel's brow was pinched with concern. "We only have a little over a week before the Summer Split, why are we wasting time?"

Anna moved closer to the brunette. "Because you're all too. Wound. Up," she said, bopping Rapunzel on the nose with each of the last three words, eliciting a giggle from her. "You're all far too stressed to worry about improving, especially when some of you are at each others' throats. As someone who's supposed to look out for your well-being, I need you all to take a break and relax a little bit. You can pick it up next week with a fresh start and clear head." Anna smiled at her cousin before turning to the remaining members, "so go. Relax. Do whatever you want, except practice League," she finished before moving toward the pile of grocery bags that remained unpacked.

A short while later found Hans, Sven, and Kristoff battling for the flat title of epitome of ultimate masculinity in GoldenEye while Anna was unpacking groceries and rearranging things to her liking in the kitchen. Rapunzel was sitting on the countertop talking to her while Elsa sat at her computer, resisting the urge to practice League by theory crafting and building strategies.

"Anna, about your reunion tomorrow…" the redhead glanced up from her current task of alphabetizing the spice rack, "I'm so sorry, but Eugene needs me for something – I'm not going to be able to go with you," the brunette apologized looking thoroughly upset that she had to bail out on her cousin.

Anna straightened up from stocking a cabinet, turning to her cousin with a mortified expression on her face. "What? I can't go alone! Punz, we had this planned for months! What's so important it can't wait?" she asked, terrified at the thought of attending her high school reunion alone.

"He wouldn't tell me! He said it was really important, even after I told him we had plans. I'm sorry, Anna. . ." Rapunzel locked eyes with her cousin, eyes pleading for forgiveness and understanding.

Sighing, Anna hugged her cousin, "That's okay… I wasn't really excited about going anyway. I'll just stay in."

"No way! First of all, you suck at lying – you were so excited to go. Secondly, you never go out! You have a free night and a party to go to. What happened to the fearless Anna I used to know? Besides, maybe you'll find someo-" Rapunzel teased, her expression turning to worry as she saw tears well up in Anna's eyes.

Anna turned and moved away quickly. "What's the point? It's not like I don't know how it's going to go!" Anna exclaimed, her voice much louder than she realized – drawing the attention of the remaining members of the Winter Wolves. "It'll be hours of me just being ripped apart because of senior year! Face it, Punz, I screwed up, and everyone will have no problem reminding me of it!" Anna plopped down on the ground, head in her hands trying furiously to wipe away the tears streaming down her cheeks. Anna couldn't help but flash back to her senior year of high school in which she was constantly ridiculed for being a 'slut', for being 'knocked up', for 'ruining her future', and other horrible accusations. A wave of sadness and depression washed over her as she tried to claw her way out of the darkness that threatened to consume her. Meanwhile, silence permeated through the room as all attention focused on the distraught redhead.

Elsa glanced over, observing the interaction. As Anna disappeared from her plane of view, she felt a wave of sadness wash over her. It was then that Elsa realized that the two other women were conversing as if they were close – to Elsa's inexperienced eye, closer than cousins - especially when Rapunzel pulled the redhead into a hug and Anna nuzzled her head into the crook of Rapunzel's neck. Maybe they are close? Are they… dating?I thought they were related? I thought Rapunzel was dating Eugene? I don't get it. Elsa continued to watch as Rapunzel continued to attempt to console Anna.

"Anna…" Rapunzel began, pulling her cousin in for another hug, rubbing her back in small circles to calm her.

"No, Punz. Do you know who I saw while shopping?" Anna paused as Rapunzel shrugged, "Rupert! Rupert, and his very attractive girlfriend. He spent no time ripping me apart in front of the entire store. Just… don't worry about it, Punz. I won't go. I don't need people criticizing me about Olaf. If there's one thing I'm proud of in this life, it's Olaf, and I won't hold back if they start in on him!"

"I don't understand," the sudden interruption made both girls jump as they turned to stare at Elsa, who was leaning over the island countertop to look at Anna who was still collapsed on the floor, "if you don't want to go to the reunion, fine, but you're going to let a guy named Rupert stop you? I mean, I understand why he's mad – his name's Rupert for heaven's sake, but for you to change your plans just because of him? That I don't understand," the blonde said, a puzzled look on her face.

"I wouldn't expect you to understand, Miss- er, Elsa," Anna couldn't help the bit of jealousy that slipped into her tone as she continued to stare at the blonde; "it was probably easy for you – miss hotshot gamer genius. People probably love you," Anna said miserably.

Suddenly, Anna's eyes widened as she heard Elsa laugh, "Are you kidding? I was as awkward as they come in school. I had next to no friends and most people didn't know who I was in high school – I had people ask me at the reunion why I was there – they didn't know I was in their class," the blonde chuckled as she thought back to her own reunion a few years back.

Meanwhile, Rapunzel's mouth had managed to close itself as she watched the two interact – the fact the two are interacting at all caused Rapunzel to take notice as everyone knew Elsa was typically not one for talking. The usual vocal brunette became dead quiet as she began to take stock of the conversational clues. She watched as Anna's left leg nervously twitch on the ground as her shoulders hunched up slightly, a light blush creeping onto her features. Anna… I had no idea! The brunette thought to herself as she watched Anna smile up at Elsa, a heavier blush spreading to her freckled cheeks when the redhead discovered that Elsa had slipped from her reverie and was now gazing back into her eyes. Anna you sly dog you, you're crushing on Elsa!

Thinking fast, Rapunzel hopped off the counter, clapping a hand on Elsa's back, "Well, Elsa, if you're so sure that Anna will be fine, why don't you go with her as her date?"

Her date!? What the hell? Why are you even going on a date with her in the first place - you're cousins?! What happened to Eugene? Actually, forget that, when the fuck did Rapunzel come out? How did I miss that bomb? Wait… go to the party with Anna… as her date?! No fucking way! What would mother think? Father? The public? There's no way I could…

The usual pale features of the blonde suddenly rivaled the blood red 'Defeat' banner from their previous game as Elsa attempted to fabricate an excuse, stuttering adorably as Rapunzel grinned at her cousin and winked, a mortified expression coming across Anna's features.

"I- uh, I can't- I… I have plans! So do you! We have practice tomorrow!" Elsa stated, proud of herself.

"Yeah, a practice that she-" Rapunzel pointed at Anna, "just had canceled so we could relax. Come on, Captain! One of your team members needs you! I'm asking you to be my proxy. So will you please go with Anna so she can enjoy herself?" Rapunzel batted her eyes and grinning at the blonde who continued to splutter, desperately trying to think of an excuse and finding none – she didn't do much outside of practice, and Rapunzel knew it.

"It's fine, Punz… Elsa clearly isn't interested. Leave her be," Anna said quietly from the floor. Elsa glanced down to look at Anna to find a dejected expression covering her face as she stared intently at the floor.

"It's not that- it's just that-" the blonde started, her heart paining for the girl on the floor. Elsa realized that Anna probably didn't get much, if any, time alone to herself with being a single mother; and now, she was going to be deprived of another rare evening because she had no one to go with. The thought of Anna spending the night sitting at home in her apartment alone tugged at her heartstrings more than she cared to admit. Shoving those thoughts aside, Elsa attempted to disregard them as concern that she would hold for anyone caught in that depressing situation.

"Come on!" Rapunzel encouraged, "you know it's been a while, Elsa! All you do is sit around the flat! You're the one always sitting here planning new strategies and team comps. For the first time in, well, forever, do something fun!"

"Rapunzel, can I talk to you for a minute – Alone?" Elsa pulled the brunette down the hall. "Rapunzel, what the hell? You're dating Anna? You're related! What about Eugene!? I liked him!"

At Elsa's befuddled look, Rapunzel started to giggle, her arms folding over her stomach as the absurdity of Elsa's statement sunk in. "Wait, hold on. Elsa, you think I'm dating Anna?" Elsa merely nodded. "Elsa, Anna is my cousin! We are totally not dating!" As the color of Elsa's cheeks reddened in embarrassment, Rapunzel lost it as she collapsed into hysterics on the ground, rolling back and forth and clutching her sides as she attempted to calm down. For her part, Elsa was now more confused than ever because of all of the reactions she had initially expected, outbursts of laughter was most decidedly not one of them.

Eventually dragging herself up off the floor, Rapunzel clapped her hands on Elsa's shoulders, half supporting herself as she continued to recover, "Elsa, oh my God no, Anna is my cousin! Eugene and I are fine!" Rapunzel swept a stray tear from her face.

"But you- date- I don't- You said you were going on a date- Anna's straight, right?" Elsa stammered, throwing up her hands in confusion.

"I didn't mean date as in like, date! As for the other thing, why don't you ask Anna? Besides, aren't you straight? Or should I be more careful when coming out of the shower from now on?" Rapunzel laughed again, giving the blonde an exaggerated wink before rolling her eyes at her joke, failing to notice Elsa stiffen slightly as the image of a certain nude brunette flashed through her mind. "Anyway, Eugene is the reason I can't go with Anna in the first place! Seriously, she won't go if someone doesn't go with her. Please? For me?" Rapunzel put on her best puppy dog eyes as she looked into Elsa's icy blues.

Wow Elsa, you're an idiot. But they're not dating! That means you… still have the same chance you had before – zero. Well that makes it easier, right – a simple night out as… co-workers? That sounds so… formal. But are we friends? Could we be? Elsa suddenly found she was more than a little intrigued as to where her non-existent relationship with the redhead could go – the thought of being alone with Anna becoming increasingly appealing, despite having to face a throng of people.

Just as the brunette was getting worried her plan wouldn't work, Elsa walked back toward the kitchen, stopping when she saw Anna, still seated on the floor. Turning to faceRapunzel she sighed, "Okay, okay. I'll go," turning back to Anna, Elsa rolled her eyes, "just… stop looking all sad. It's heartbreaking!" With that, the blonde wandered off to her room contemplating the terrifying implications of what she had just agreed to.

Anna looked up at her cousin who was gazing back with a mischievous grin, "You're welcome," the brunette kept grinning as she pulled her cousin to her feet.

"I'm welcome!? What are you thinking!? Are you trying to get me fired?" Anna threw her hands out to her sides in utter disbelief.

"No, I'm trying to get you a girlfriend, Anna. When was the last time you went out on a date?" Rapunzel cocked an eyebrow at Anna.

"I go on plenty of dates, thank you very much," Anna said, shaking her head in disbelief that she was having this conversation.

"Really? Because the tub of chocolate ice cream in your freezer could have fooled me," the brunette smirked, mussing up her cousin's hair as she wandered off to watch the boys continue their heated GoldenEye match, "just enjoy yourself you goof and see what happens," she finished with a wave over her shoulder.

A girlfriend? Who does she think she is – some master match maker? I don't even think Elsa is interested in girls! Even if she was, she's famous, why would she pick an unattractive single mother out of all her prospective suitors? Wait… did I just reference myself as a suitor? What the heck, Anna? Anna sighed, packing up her things to leave for the day, resigned to her upcoming 'date' with the Captain of the Winter Wolves.
