#anna saunders

One quick press of the doorbell and she was waiting, hoping that nobody would pop out from nowhere to chase her off. Only a moment of silence passed before the sound of loud, hurried footsteps echoed from the other side of the door. There was a loud crash, followed by a female voice cursing while a man laughed uproariously. Then the door was pulled open, revealing a grinning Anna that almost immediately flung herself at Elsa, wrapping her up in a hug so tightly that Elsa swore she heard something crack.

"You're here!" the redhead squealed in delight, snuggling into her older sister and her whole body practically buzzing in barely contained excitement. "I missed you!"

Instantly, all of her anxieties and misgivings melted away. Anna missed her. It was real, every doubt was gone that it wasn't real. Her arms wrapped tightly around Anna, pulling her in as close as she could possibly be.

"I missed you, too!" she half-sobbed, grinning into her shoulder as she spun her around. Anna giggled in her ear and once her feet were back in the ground, she leaned in to plant a chaste kiss on Elsa's lips.

"Come in! Dad figured you'd be hungry so we prepared a light lunch to eat before we leave!" The redhead tugged on her sister's hand, pulling her into the house and closing the door behind them.

"Really?" she asked as she stumbled along in Anna's wake, tripping over her sneakers. "I mean… he wants to see me? After you told me that you two… discussed things… well, I didn't know…"

Anna gave Elsa a soft look, stopping their trek to the kitchen so she could press a few kisses to her knuckles. Only now was she able to get a good look at her little sister. She looked much the same as the weeks ago they had last encountered each other, apple-cheeked and freckle-dusted. Excitable. Curvy…

"Dad loves you," she reassured her sister earnestly, snapping her out of untoward thoughts. "His reaction was a lot like Rapunzel's. He was in denial for a bit, then he was very squicked out for awhile. But never once did he hate us or say anything mean to me." She smiled. "After a full night of crying and a couple weeks of heart-to-hearts, he's come to accept what we share a love that is special. He just… asked for us to keep things on the down-low in his presence for the first little bit so he can get used to it."

"Completely understandable," she sighed as she embraced her back, standing close and feeling nervous and stupid. "And I know, you told me all this… I know. But it seems too good to be true. I couldn't even get up the nerve to tell my mother what kind of relationship we have; I barely could stand up to her about just being your sister again!"

"I'm sorry, it must've been so hard to deal with her. I know she… really hates me right now… she made it clear when I called to explain things." Her red head lowered slightly. Elsa leaned in to press a soft kiss against her forehead, trying to reassure her. Anna smiled and returned the gesture with a kiss to her cheek. "Come on, the kitchen is this way," she murmured before starting to lead Elsa in a bit more of a subdued pace. "And hey, check you out, wearing the Camp shirt."

"Oh, I have so many of these," she dismissed with a wave of her hand. Even though that hadn't been the only reason she selected it. "I could probably make them into curtains."

Their father was at the table, a pair of spectacles on his nose as he read the paper. He glanced up when he heard the girls approached and grinned widely. "Hey! There's my Snow Princess! Get caught in traffic?"

A very shy Elsa looked down at her shoes. Even after having reunited with him after camp, she still felt just as awkward, but she made an attempt. "N-not really. Sorry for getting here so late."

"It's no trouble, my girl. Come sit and eat. You must be starving! Long drive up here, eh?" His brow furrowed in concern. "Do you want to take a nap before you go? I'm sure Anna won't mind you taking her room for a few hours. Her bed is still there." He gave a grinning Anna a stern glare before adding, "You'll have to nap without her, though. Missy here has to help me load her things into the trailer. Are you sure you're okay taking my truck for now?"

"O-oh, of course," Elsa assured him with a slight smile. "You said it's an automatic, right? I never learned to drive, um…" She snapped her fingers. "The other kind. I can't even remember what it's called, with the stick shift?"

"Lucky," Anna grumped beside her, though her little grin made it clear that she wasn't particularly annoyed despite the tone. "The only car that was available for me to practise with was Kristoff's beast of a truck, so I was forced to get used to standard before I was allowed to start learning how to use an automatic."

Edgar chuckled, "And you should be thankful for that. Once you learn stick you can drive anything." To Elsa, he said, "Yes, my truck is automatic. It'll get you and Anna's stuff to school and I'll drive your car to you next month so I can pick it up again." He wrapped an arm around his oldest daughter. "Now dig in before the food gets cold while Anna and I start loading up."

"Kristoff will be coming over to help, too!" Anna chimed in excitedly. "He really wants to meet you!"

"Oh, good!" Elsa laughed nervously to this last part.

As they both left the room, she turned to the table. The stack of pancakes on the serving platter was huge, and there was another one of peameal bacon, regular maple syrup and blueberry syrup, and a bowl of freshly cut-up strawberries. A small smile tugged at her lips. This was really quite overboard; she felt like she was being doted upon, which was weird since she was still his daughter. Despite the five years of little-to-no contact. But instead of bemoaning that, she sat down and fixed herself a plate.

She had just barely began eating before Anna came back into the kitchen to give her a tight hug and a squeal. "Did you know that Dad found us a cheap apartment to rent?!" she asked in an excited rush. "He said he'll pay the rent up until we can get jobs! That's so awesome!"

"Dad…" She set down her fork with a sigh and an exasperated smile. Lucky for him, the man in question wasn't there to reprimand. "He didn't have to do that. I was going to save my money by staying on-campus until the end of my undergraduate."

Anna blinked down at her. "Oh… well, I'm sure we can tell Dad that and he can cancel? He said he was going to finalize everything while we were driving there." She looked a little disappointed but she managed to hide that with a sunny smile and by leaning in to nuzzle Elsa's cheek. "I'm just happy to be with you."

Not that Elsa missed it. After a few seconds, she whispered, "You really wanted to live together like that, didn't you?" She looped an arm around Anna's waist to draw her in closer. "I'm sorry. I just hate the idea of him feeling like he has to… I don't know, take care of me that way. Make up for lost time or whatever."

"Dad spoils," Anna said with a fond smile. "It's in his nature. I've learned long ago to just accept that. He wants nothing more than for me and you to be happy and he thought that this would be a nice surprise to spoil you with since he hasn't been able to do it in so long. Plus, I think it's his way of saying that he's mostly okay with us being a couple since he trusts us to share an apartment." Without hesitation, she snuggled into Elsa's embrace and hummed. "I think it would be nice living together but I don't mind living in a dorm and knowing that you are just a few floors away if that's what you'd prefer. This is your decision."

"Well…" A slight hesitation. "It would be less conspicuous with living off-campus…" Her eyes cast downward as she thought about it, taking a bite of food to give herself time. Finally, she admitted, "I haven't come out to any of my acquaintances from uni yet. It's just… strange, to admit that something you used to think was a sin is now your life. I don't even know where to start. So if we just said we were roommates for a while… would you hate that? I'd rather be briefly uncomfortable than hurt you, of course!"

"Whatever you feel comfortable with, Elsa," Anna reassured, taking Elsa's free hand and pressing a kiss to her palm. "Like I said, I'm just happy to be with you. No matter what." She smiled earnestly. "Think the apartment thing over while you eat. I should head back out there with the box I promised to get before Dad comes hunting me down." She started to get up and leave before pausing, saying over her shoulder with a little wink, "You look beautiful today, by the way," before disappearing.

Elsa felt light-headed as she made her way through the rest of breakfast.

By the time she finished eating, the truck was packed up with Anna's things, and their father was smiling at Elsa as she returned from the bathroom. Though she had declined to nap, deciding she'd rather just get the show on the road than inconvenience anyone, she had decided to make sure of a pit stop so they wouldn't have to do it halfway to campus.

"All set," she breathed with a slight smile, handing over the key to her car. "You might have to stop for gas; I don't remember how full it was when I got here."

Edgar chuckled as he took the keys and handed her his. "The gas tank is full in the truck and Kris was kind enough to go and fetch a spare gas can for the road. Is there anything else you need before you leave?"

After a brief moment spent squirming, she asked in a meek voice, "A hug?"

In an instant, Elsa was swept into a big bear hug, Edgar resting his chin on her head and rubbing her back. "I missed you, kiddo," he murmured. Elsa practically melted into the embrace, wanting to have another breakdown but knowing they didn't have time for all that. Besides, he would come to see them on campus once or twice, when he could get away from work.

"Missed you, too."

Edgar suddenly cleared his throat and grinned down at her sheepishly, a perfect reflection of his youngest daughter. "So, uh, about the apartment? Anna said you were trying to save up money. The rent would only be about $300 between the both of you since it's a one-bedroom, I figured you two wouldn't be against… sharing." He cleared his throat again, trying not to sound too uncomfortable. "B-but if you really don't want it, I can cancel."

"I think I would. Maybe… maybe we can get jobs soon, and start paying for it ourselves." She was resolute about that part; the last thing she wanted was to take advantage of her no-longer-estranged father's generosity. "And I will! Maybe something in the campus store? Or I could try retail…"

"You don't have to rush," Edgar insisted. "Take your time. I… have quite a bit saved up. I've been making college funds for both you and Anna but your mother was very firm in letting me know that she was taking care of yours… but I saved up anyway, just in case. I figured since your mother is covering your schooling, my half can cover the apartment until you find jobs." He rubbed his neck and looked off to the side. "I know you probably think I'm trying to buy your love back, Elsa, but I just missed out on so much and I want to make up for it by helping any way I can."

Nodding emphatically, she gave him another quick squeeze before she said, "I know, Dad. Don't worry, I didn't think that. And you have no idea how much I appreciate it." Then she finally released him and stood back to favour him with a wide, earnest smile. "Okay. Let's do this."

Edgar squeezed back before finally pulling away. "I think your sister went over to say bye to Kristoff. Are you sure you guys are going to be okay driving by yourselves?"

"Yes, Dad," she sighed in a typical put-upon-daughter voice. Though she was smiling. It was so nice to have the "missing" parent fussing over her again. Edgar simply gave his eldest daughter a good natured pat on the shoulder.

"Good. Now you both have my number in case something happens. If you start to feel tired, switch with Anna and take a nap or stop for the night. I gave Anna enough money for a night in a hotel if you need it, plus some extra for food. But please, don't let your sister go overboard. She can order almost sixty dollars worth of takeout if you let her." He chuckled softly but it was clear that he was stalling. "Take care of her, okay? This will be the first time she's been away from me for so long."

Playing along, Elsa saluted him with a small smile. "You can count on me, sir." Then they hugged again before her father went out to finish packing.

In no time at all, Anna had returned home. She introduced Elsa to Kristoff, who mostly just laughed and looked awkward a lot. Elsa felt instinctively intimidated by his large bulk and scruffy appearance, but soon enough she was past that. They all chatted for a short while, sipping at sodas and enjoying their brief time together, before their Dad offered to drive Kristoff back into town.

"Guess we should get this show on the road," Elsa sighed once they were alone in the house. Anna took one last swig of her Coke before nodding and standing up, offering her hand to help Elsa do the same. She had her usual grin on.

"You ready for an adventure?" she asked.

"I am if you are." Her heart was beating faster, even though there was no real difference between this moment and the dozens of moments just before. Except this was the first in a long series for the two of them. "We'll just… should we grab anything before we go? Sodas, gum?"

"At the risk of sounding unbearably cheesy? All I need is you." Anna leaned in and rested her forehead against Elsa's, her eyes twinkling. "But if you'd like to pick up some stuff, you are more than welcome. I already have a bag of goodies packed and in the truck."

"Look at you, on top of everything." Leaning in, she took her lips very gently, kneading them together in a way that was almost grateful for the empty house, the chance to be alone. Anna hummed and returned this kiss eagerly, her arms coiling around Elsa's waist and pressing her closer still. The redhead used her fingers to rub soothing circles into the blonde's hips.

She pulled back, just a little, to purr, "I love you."

"Love you, too." Sighing, she reached up to run her fingers through Anna's hair. "Wish we could hang around a little longer… but we need to go if we want to unload everything tonight. Or else people may steal your things from the truck bed."

"Good idea," Anna said, but didn't pull away. Instead, she leaned in and started placing soft kisses along Elsa's neck, taking the skin gently between her teeth and sucking on occasion. The blonde shivered, hands raking down Anna's back from her scalp and settling on her hips as she attempted to resist a reaction to the teasing lips. Anna took her attempt as a challenge. She grazed her teeth lightly over a particularly sensitive point on Elsa's neck before latching on, sucking and nibbling in what Elsa could only assume was an attempt at forming a hickey.

"ANNA!" she burst out in alarm, pushing her back. Pale cheeks flared with pink as she whispered, "I d-don't want to advertise that much that we're together!"

But Anna simply smirked like the little imp she was before planting a sweet kiss on her cheek. "Too late, Elsie," she teased, poking at the mark with her index finger. "But we should get going, eh? Don't want to get there too late or we'll be… too tired." She winked and blew her sister a kiss before racing out of the house, giggling madly. Elsa rolled her eyes and followed close behind, rubbing at her much-warmer face.

Then they were buckling into the front seat of the truck, the house locked up behind them. Half of Anna's worldly possessions in the back, and a full tank of gas riding underneath. Ready to go. Anna rested her hand on Elsa's as they started backing out of the driveway but her gaze never left the house as they slowly began to pull away from it.

"I'm a little nervous," she confessed, shoulders taut as they rounded a corner and the house was no longer visible. "Sure, I've been away before, but… this feels a little more final than any other time."

"Well, you're not coming back as Little Baby Anna. This is your first time living away from home as a grown woman. It is a big step, even if it's just college." But even as she was saying this reasonably, her arm was sliding around Anna's shoulders to help reassure her. Anna snuggled into the one armed embrace.

"I'll have you with me, so it's not as daunting as it would've been without you," the redhead mumbled against her shoulder. "Thank you for being here with me… and for helping me get into the school in the first place. All your tips helped a lot."

Shrugging as they finally headed toward the highway, rolling up to a stoplight, she whispered, "You're quite welcome. I mean, I'm not doing it for just you. I'm doing it for us." Then she leaned over to kiss her love. The redhead returned the gesture, fluttering her eyes shut as she sighed in content against Elsa's lips.

"This summer was the best I've ever had," she murmured lovingly as she pulled away and settled back into her seat. "I feel like the luckiest person alive right now. I'm moving in with my sister, my best friend, and my lover!" She giggled. "If someone told me this a year ago, I would've called them crazy."

"Especially since all three of them are the same person," Elsa agreed as they pulled away from the stoplight. Her hand reached over and took up Anna's hand, squeezing gently. "Which, the more I think about it, is a dream come true, Moondrop."

Anna squeezed back and look at her with utter adoration. "It definitely is, Snowflake." She hummed pleasantly and leaned so that she was pressed against Elsa's side. "I'm so happy when I'm with you."

"Thank God. Since you're going to be stuck with me for a long, long time."

Elsa and Anna stayed like that for many more miles, snuggled close in the truck cab and daydreaming about their lives. Bound together by blood and affection alike, and no interference from a condescending mother or misguided camp counselors could change that. There was no room for anything but love.

"Me!" said Rapunzel as she creaked the door open. Though Anna and Elsa broke apart, it had been very obvious what they were doing just before they did, and their friend's reaction showed. She swallowed hard and ducked her head down between her shoulders. "O-oh, I- sorry, I thought- I didn't m-mean…"

"It's fine, Punzie!" Anna rushed to say before her friend ran off completely. If this was her last chance to see her friend, she was determined to take the bull by the horns. "Come on in, what's up? Can we get you anything? Juice, water… money?"

Her head shook, and she looked like she wanted to say more but didn't. After a moment, Elsa prompted her, "Would you like to come in so we aren't overheard? It might be less… uncomfortable for you." She did, pressing back against the door to shut it. "There. Now, what's… wrong? Or is nothing wrong?"

"Not really, but, I… well, I thought I'd come see you off."

Anna smiled and sat down on her bed, gesturing to the only chair in the room for Rapunzel to sit. "Thanks, Punzie," she said sincerely. "How are you getting home? Someone coming to get you?"

"Uh-huh. My mom. B-but before I left…" She took a deep breath in, letting it out very slowly. "I wanted to say I'm sorry."

The sisters exchanged an uncertain glance. "Um… okay," Elsa eventually said. "Sorry for what?"

"Being upset, and weird about this. Like… okay, I still don't think it's right, but I also see how much you two love each other. And that's so important! And the Bible tells us not to judge, to leave that up to Him, right? S-so I really shouldn't be… mad, or scared, or whatever it was I was feeling!" She took a couple more breaths, fingers fidgeting in front of her stomach. "Anyway, sorry for being so weird. What you two do alone is n-none of my business."

Anna bit her lip, unsure exactly what to say. While her heart soared at Rapunzel's apology and the sting of her initial rejection eased, it was clear by Rapunzel's demeanor and the way she flinched and her voice wavered that she still wasn't comfortable around the sisters anymore. She wanted to hug the brunette, because Rapunzel really had become such a dear friend to her over the past few weeks, but that probably wouldn't go over very well.

"Thank you so much for the apology, Punzie… I- I appreciate it and…" She paused her and closed her eyes. "I- I know that… you probably don't really want it, but I'd like to give you my phone number. So we can keep in touch if you want? Because I really care about you and I would love to talk to you and hear you ramble about Flynn and your life and-" She knew she was spinning out of control, but she found herself unable to stop. A few tears spilled over. "And I th-think you're an amazing person and I would still love to be your friend and-"

She stuttered to a halt when a gentle hand rested on her shoulder. "Anna," Elsa whispered, squeezing gently. Then she turned to the other girl. "She'd like to keep in contact. You could get her number and then later decide what to do with it."

A little squeaked "oh!" popped out of her mouth before she smiled. "S-sure! I'm just surprised you'd want to after…" Shrugging off her own nerves, she reached into her pocket for her phone. "Well, hey, this has probably been a really eye-opening camp for all of us! Guess we should just let go and let God, right?"

The redhead grinned weakly as she took Rapunzel's phone, typing in her number before handing it back and pulling Rapunzel into a tight hug. "I'm so glad you're not mad!" After a brief moment, she hugged back with a huge sigh of relief. They stayed like that for nearly a minute before Anna finally pulled away.

"We're okay then?" she asked hopefully.

"Yeah. I mean, it's still gonna be pretty crazy for me to think about… y'know, you two, but I'm done letting that stop me from being friends with you. Because I know in my soul that you're a blessing, Anna. Really." Then she turned to Elsa and awkwardly added, "A-and you, too! Of course!"

"It's fine," she chuckled, waving her hand back and forth. "I'm aware that you forged a bond with her first and we haven't spoken much."

Anna giggled, "I'm not so sure about your bond with Punzie being any weaker than mine though, Mommy." She chanced a playful tease before slinging her arms around both girls. Anna was over the moon with warmth and delight and her smile reflected that with how widely it was spread. Of course, Punz ducked her head and let out a long, mortified groan, collapsing against the two of them.

"Please don't tell anybody? Geeze Louise, I don't even know why I said that…"

"Maybe Mommy will have you massage her feet again soon," Elsa teased, prompting a deeper groan. Anna giggled and squeezed both women.

"We should all have a Skype night or something, play some Uno or poker again. You can even invite Flynn!" the redhead suggested. "I'd love to meet him."

That got her to smile again, even though her cheeks were still glowing with embarrassment. "Okay! I've never done that online, but it sounds neat!" Anna quickly pulled away from the two so she could rummage about for a scrap of paper and a pen. It took her a few minutes but it wasn't long before she was handing off her email address and her phone number to the brunette. She also put Elsa's number on there for good measure.

"Okay, so if you find someone on Skype named Feisty Pants- Lover of Sandwiches, that's me. My friend Kristoff changed it on me and I never got around to changing it back."

"Um, cool," she half-laughed, looking down at it. "And… thanks for like, giving me time to kind of separate 'sin from sinner', as we keep saying around here. This just wasn't anything I expected to, y'know… have to process while at camp. Or at all. But that's on me, not you two."

Anna pulled her into another hug. "Thank you for understanding, Rapunzel," she murmured. "I know it must have been hard but I'm so happy that you can look past the 'we're terrible people who are sinning' bit and just… understand that me and Elsa are in love."

"Well, I mean… if you're going to be like that, I guess at least you're not just doing it for kicks!" Her laughter was a little unhinged but at least she was laughing. Elsa patted her shoulder as they hugged, hoping to add to the warmth of the moment. When she did pull back, she sighed and said, "Well… I guess we better get going. Camp's over! Again…"

Anna slumped and gave her older sister a pout, but she eventually pulled away from her friend and stepped back to stand at Elsa's side. "Are you all packed up and ready to go?" she asked Rapunzel.

"Yep! Tried to make sure I was before I came here." Then she hugged her new friends. Again. "Talk to you soon?"

"Of course," Elsa promised, embracing her back.

"If you want, call me sometime next week," Anna offered. "Let me know what's up."

"That'd be super awesome!" Skipping back out the door, she called over shoulder, "Bye, Anna, bye, Elsa!"

After waving to her retreating form, Elsa shook her head and chuckled. "At least she didn't call me 'mommy' again while shouting it that way."

"I think you would have secretly loved it if she did," Anna teased her sister, leaning in and planting a few soft kisses in Elsa's neck. "Or maybe I should say that next time we're doing the naughties together." she gave Elsa a flirtatious grin. "What do you think, mommy?"

But the way Elsa's lip curled made it clear that was not something she was interested in. However, she was diplomatic enough to say, "Well… if you want to, I suppose it would be alright. Just don't start asking for me to change your diaper or anything."

Anna chuckled softly and kissed Elsa's lips lightly. "Never change, Sis," she hummed cheerfully. "I love you so much and I never want you to change." Filled with warmth and mirth towards the woman in her arms, Anna couldn't resist the urge to kiss her again… and again. And Elsa didn't try to resist, either.

Not long afterward, they were packed and ready to go. Instead of immediately sweeping off to the other campers, they spent a moment or two on the bed, simply lying in each other's arms. The kisses and heat, exploring bodies, had become less important than pure closeness in these final moments.

"I wish we didn't have to part ways at all," Elsa finally whispered, voice tight. Anna snuggled closer and sighed, closing her eyes and taking in Elsa's everything. Her scent filled the redhead with a sense of calmness that soothed the dark cloud of their inevitable separation looming over their heads.

"Me either," she murmured. "But it won't be forever and we'll still be able to call and Skype." Even as she said it, she gripped Elsa a little tighter, and she hugged back with equal enthusiasm. This wasn't going to be easy, but they could survive it.

Then it was time to meet their parents. The dreaded moment.

It was Anna who reluctantly pulled away first, giving Elsa a kiss on the cheek before getting up. "Papa said he'll be here around three… We should get going." A quick glance at her watch confirmed that she had fifteen minutes to get her and her belongings to the parking lot.

"Yeah." That was all Elsa said; there wasn't much more to say. But once they got to the door, she laid her hand upon Anna's to delay her. "Sister?"

"Yeah?" Anna rested her own hand gently over top of Elsa's and turned her head towards her. The blonde fidgeted for a moment, then shrugged and leaned over to kiss her nose.

"Just wanted one more moment with you. To kiss you goodbye before we can't." Anna beamed.

"One more proper kiss then?" she asked. "For the road?"

Elsa didn't seem to have any qualms. Her hands immediately lifted to cup either side of Anna's face, taking her lips with reckless abandon. Anna kissed back just as eagerly, letting out a little moan before slipping her tongue into Elsa's mouth. Anna never wanted it to end. And neither did Elsa, if the echoing moan was any indication. But eventually, she did draw back, breathless as she sniffled to stem the tears that had begun to fall somewhere during their moment.

"It's alright. We… we'll be fine. And I'll come visit you soon!"

Anna bit her lip, her own tears falling as she reached up to gently wipe her older sister's away. She reached out and pulled her into another hug. "We'll be fine," she echoed, choking up. Elsa patted her on the back as they embraced, nuzzling into her neck. Anna laughed softly through the tears. "We're never going to leave at this rate," she pointed out, hugging Elsa tighter. "Can't you just...come with us?" Despite knowing the answer, Anna couldn't keep the tiny sliver of hope from creeping into her voice.

"Afraid not," she told her gently. "I… have to go home and face the music. But depending on how that goes, you may see me before the summer has truly ended."

"Mom wouldn't disown you," Anna pointed out. "She gave up on me because I've been living with Dad. She'll be mad about you lying about me and probably be in denial and try to convince you that it's just my bad influence rubbing off on you." Immediately, a huge sigh came from Elsa's mouth, and she looked away. Then she turned back and cupped Anna's cheek.

"She won't fool me twice, Anna. Don't worry."

"I know." Anna gripped the hand on her cheek and caressed it with her thumb, smiling at Elsa. "We're together forever now." She turned her head to plant a soft kiss on Elsa's palm before pulling away again. "Come on, we really have to go now. At this point, I'm pretty sure we'll just stay here forever if we don't leave now."

"Would that really be so bad?" But before Anna could answer, she turned their hands so they both opened the door together.

It didn't take terribly long for them to trek across the campgrounds to the parking lot, even with their luggage in tow. A few late-leaving campers waved, as well as some of the counselors. Even Belle, whom had seemed standoffish at the best of times. Anna waved back at all of them, swinging her and Elsa's connected hands gently with every step they took. Despite being the one to push them into leaving the cabin, Anna still wasn't in much of a rush to part ways.

"Miss Anna! Miss Elsa!" Olaf bounced up and down excitedly, waving his arm from where he was standing next to Mark and who Anna presumed were their parents. The father especially looked exactly like the two boys but the mother was the one who was giving them Olaf's signature earnest, near-goofy grin. "Thank you so much for the great summer!"

"Of course," Elsa chuckled gently immediately, waving animatedly from where they stood. "See you next year!"

"See you next year! Make good choices!" Olaf answered back happily before he and Mark were led away by their suddenly sheepish father.

The parting sentiment made Anna burst into giggles. "I'm going to miss that kid."

"Yeah, he is… truly unique." Then she turned to look around again, and frozen in her tracks. "Oh."

There was their father. Clearly, Elsa had not been mentally prepared to run into him, despite how long she had to get used to the idea. He looked much the same, despite all the years apart. Anna forgot all about their connected hands as she excitedly dashed forward, dragging Elsa behind her.

"Papa!" she cheered, "I missed you!"

"There's my Anna Banana!" he said first, sweeping her into a hug. Though his eyes were mostly pointed at Elsa. That was understandable; the prodigal daughter was definitely the uncommon sight. "And you brought a friend! Who might this tall, pretty blonde be?"

Anna pulled away from him and gently nudged Elsa forward, grinning at the two of them. "I'd like to reintroduce you to your tall, pretty daughter!"

Elsa looked rather shy about it, glancing between the two of them. Edgar looked briefly stunned before he grinned broadly, his eyes misting over. "You've gotten so big, my little Snow Princess. And so beautiful, too; I hardly recognized you." There was a brief moment of hesitation before the tall man opened his arms for Elsa. "I may be old and crazy, but… mind giving your old man a hug?"

That request was more than enough. Eyes already watering, she rushed forward and threw her arms around his middle, squeezing tightly and shivering with the effort of suppressing her sobs. One of his hands reached up to cradle her head close against his shoulder, rocking her very slightly and whispering gentle words of comfort. A few campers and counselors glanced their way, but most of them seemed not to pay much mind to the tearful reunion. Anna watched the pair, feeling warmth at seeing her sister and father finally reunited after so many years.

"I can't believe it's really been so long," Elsa whispered so softly that it almost couldn't be heard. "Dad…"

"I missed you, Elsa." Edgar held her a little tighter and rubbed her back soothingly. "Gosh, it's so good to see you. How have you been, Princess? Keeping out of trouble?"

"Mostly," she conceded. Her eyes flicked very briefly over toward her sister, but didn't linger there. "I'm… very happy that I got to see Anna again. That we could talk; I'm so glad I'm not left guessing why I never heard from her anymore."

Edgar frowned deeply. "I'm so sorry. Had I known what your mother was doing, I would've intervened. She has no right keeping you two away from one another." He gave Elsa a tight squeeze and sighed heavily. "I thought she was better than that."

"So did I," she whispered back, relaxing into the embrace at last. "Seriously, I would never have expected… a-and I didn't believe Anna at first, and now I feel so guilty about that. And angry with Mama, but I don't want to be angry with her!"

Edgar ran his fingers through his elder daughter's hair, as though hoping the action would help soothe Elsa's anger. He stayed quiet for a few minutes and contemplated what to say next. "You have every right to be angry," he murmured finally, laying a kiss on her forehead, "so long as you know to let go of that anger and forgive your mother when you are ready to do so. Isn't that what I taught you true Christianity is about? Love and forgiveness?"

Anna fidgeted herself when she heard her father's advice. It was the same thing he told her when Hans first broke her heart all those years ago and while the pain their mother had caused was worse in comparison to that, the redhead knew deep down that she should do the same for her.

"Alright," her sister promised him readily, nodding against his shoulder. Finally, she sniffled and stood back, wiping at her eyes. "I'll try. And… I'm going to work on it on my drive home. Might call you two to keep me company; I have a car charger and a Bluetooth earpiece, I could probably talk all the way home…"

Edgar grinned. "There you go, that's a wonderful idea. I'm sure you both have loads of stories to share with me and nothing would make this old man happier than to hear them while driving a long six hours." He spared a playful nod at his other daughter. "You can help keep this one busy while I drive, too. She's a bit of a backseat driver and it gets a little irritating."

"You drive worse than I do," Anna commented with a roll of her eyes. "If i didn't, you'd have rolled us ages ago."

"Hey! I got here safely all on my own and only started drifting twice!" their father said, sounding mockingly appalled. Elsa chuckled, but it was the self-conscious chuckle of someone who was not quite sure of whether or not they were allowed to laugh on that occasion.

"We should be going," Anna pointed out as she stepped towards her father and her sister, smiling affectionately as she pulled them both into a crushing group hug. "Otherwise, I think the administers are going to force us to stay and help with the closing cleanup." Despite Edgar's grunt of agreement, none of the family parted. Anna placed a soft kiss on Elsa's cheek, lingering there just long enough to edge on being more than sisterly, before pulling away. "See you later, okay, Snowflake?"

"Of course," she breathed, voice full of emotion. She hugged Anna again, but kept it far shorter than the hugs that they had enjoyed within the cabin. Then she tore herself away, backing toward her own car. "Very soon. And I'll call you!"

Anna found herself struggling to keep herself from dashing towards Elsa's car after her as a lump in her throat made it hard for her to breathe and tears sprang into her eyes. Instead, she reached for her father's hand and gave it a hard squeeze to keep herself still. "Y-you better!" she managed to say, thankfully without too much difficulty. "I-I love you, sis!"

And she was out of there. Once, before pulling out of the parking lot entirely, Elsa stopped and waved out the window to both of them, tears clearly visible along her cheeks. Then she was gone.

"Alright, Anna Banana," her father sighed, clapping her on the shoulder. His eyes were clearly a bit misty, as well. "What do you say we, uh… we find a McD's or something on the way home, eh? Get a sundae or something to celebrate heading home."

Anna nodded and gave her father one more hug. "I'm going to miss her, Papa," she mumbled into his shirt.

"I know, honey. I know." Strong arm still around her, he guided his daughter toward the car.

It wasn't until they were a little further down the road, sitting in the car with their ice cream, that she began a long conversation with "Dad, I have something to tell you…" And it was not an easy one, but Edgar Saunders was patient, and listened as best he could. It was all she could hope for.

Deep down, Elsa almost wanted Anna to tell her to stop. This was so difficult! On top of that, the lingering doubts about whether or not playing in such an adult fashion with her sister was wise. Despite their strong romantic feelings, they had crossed a line that they could never uncross. But she also wanted to see how much further they could take things. Granted, she wasn't sure there was anywhere else to go after all they had already tried! But still…

Halting her mind from whirling around in circles, she decided to start by caressing her hip more. To see how Anna responded. From the way Anna arched into the touch, head falling back against the bed and eyes fluttering closed, Elsa could guess that the touch was positive. Her breath came out in soft pants. So far, so good.

Then she decided to see what would happen if she slipped a hand down into the front of Anna's shorts. Anna mewled as her fingers grazed the crotch of her damp underwear. Biting her lip, she began to graze them from side to side, testing and teasing. Already, it was a very different feeling from the last time, when she had been bare and left open to explore fully, wet from the shower.

Somehow this felt… even more extreme, despite the layer of clothing between them. Was that strange? Anna whined and pushed slightly against her fingers, shuddering as the cotton barrier both created friction to the area and prevented Elsa's fingertips from going inside. All the actions were already making Elsa's heart race faster; were they really doing this? Again?

"Mmm," she breathed, hoping it would help Anna along as she felt the cloth begin to get a little more damp. She had to remind herself that it wasn't pee; that this was a natural result of those activities. Her inexperienced brain was just barely keeping from overloading, with all the new information it was taking in.

"Elsaaaa," Anna dragged her name out in pleasure. It sent chills down into her stomach. Licking her lips, she began to rub more, faster, and she found that thanks to trying this once before, she was already starting to figure out a rhythm that would work for the two of them. And work it did, if the slight increase in volume of Anna's voice and tightened grip were any indication.

"You like this?" she asked needlessly; it just seemed like the appropriate thing to be doing. "Do you… want more?"

"Yesss…" Anna gazed up at Elsa with adoring eyes, shuddering as her panties grew more and more wet and uncomfortable against her crotch. All Elsa could do was kiss her again, nuzzling close and trying to decide what more she wanted to try. Maybe what Anna had done for her before…

But maybe she could test that further before going all the way in. Licking her lips, she slid her hand up just enough to nip beneath the waistband and back down through the thicket of coppery hairs. Anna mewled at the feel of Elsa's hand touching her skin. She felt so wrong for doing it, and yet she knew she loved it. Knew that the more she could touch her, the better they would both feel.

A little "ooh" fell from her when she felt Anna's wetness. Anna bit her lip and squirmed slightly at the sensation, sighing heavily in pleasure. Trying to ignore her own body's responses, she glided her fingers up and down, collecting a bit of moisture before withdrawing her hand.

The redhead peered up at her, panting softly as the hand was moved away. She blinked like a disappointed puppy. "Y-you okay?"

But then Elsa brought the fingertips to her own lips, testing the flavour. It wasn't bad; knowing what it was made her sigh with pleasure, but the taste itself was only vaguely sickly-sweet. Something she could definitely handle. A quick glance at Anna revealed that her eyes were as wide as saucers, her mouth open slightly and her cheeks a very nice shade of red.

"Y-You just-" Anna whimpered, unable to finish. It was kind of cute, in a weird way.

"You're very sweet," Elsa told her with a flutter of her eyelashes, withdrawing the hand and petting along Anna's thigh again. Anna squeaked and turned even redder in response. Chuckling, she whispered, "I'm sorry if that's too much. I'm only being honest."

"It's not too much, I-I'm just surprised." Anna nibbled on her lip and gave Elsa a smile. "Y-You tasted me…"

Nodding, Elsa averted her eyes, not wanting to weather the reaction head-on. "Well, yes. I wanted to… see if I could handle doing what you did." Then she began to open the fly of Anna's shorts fully, a little at a time. Anna inhaled sharply.

"You… want to go down on me?" she breathed. "Are you sure?"

"No," Elsa admitted with a half-smile. "But I'm sure I want to try it out. If that's alright with my Moondrop."

"Only if my Snowflake is okay with it," Anna answered seriously, reaching up to cup Elsa's cheek with her palm and caress the skin with her thumb. "I'm willing to try whatever you are, Elsa."

She leaned forward and gave the winter blonde a soft kiss on the lips. Elsa kissed back enthusiastically for a few seconds, then just barely started to squirm her hand past Anna's hip to begin sliding off shorts and panties alike. Anna tangled her hands in Elsa's hair, drawing her head closer to deepen the kiss while arching her back to aid in getting the clothing off. Finally, Elsa had to break away to pry off the clothes entirely, flicking Anna's ballet flats off as they did so.

"T-That tickled!" Elsa grinned and poked a single fingertip into the center of her sole; it jerked and the redhead laughed a little louder, "Stop that, you stinker!"

Laughing along with her, Elsa kissed Anna's shin as she began to head upward again. "Sorry, but I couldn't resist. You got to do a lot more tickling than I did, remember?"

The redhead tilted her head, still giggling but looking curious as Elsa continued to kiss up her leg. She playfully poked the blonde's chin with the other foot. "Having fun down there?"

At that, Elsa glanced down and then up again. "Well, I was going to head back up there, but now that you mention it…" Her teeth flashed out to just barely graze Anna's ankle and Anna gasped lightly, her foot twitching at the barely restrained urge to kick. "Do you want me to have fun up there, or down here?"

Anna thought about it before letting out a slow breath. "T-Try going from the bottom up?" she suggested softly. "S-slowly."

"Hmm, really?" Elsa had to admit, she was a little surprised. A half-smile pulled at her lips. "Do you… want me to tickle you, Anna?" Anna blushed and nodded, and Elsa burst out in shock, "Really?! Um… alright, uh… well, do you think you'll… react the way I normally do?"

"We'll just have to see, won't we?" Anna leaned back and stretched out so that she was as exposed as possible. "I've… never tried this before so…"

Chuckling herself, a little in disbelief, Elsa positioned herself a little lower, so that if Anna started kicking she wouldn't end up with a bloodied nose. "You think I've tried sexy tickling before you came along?!" Then she blinked. "Even just saying 'sexy tickling' makes me feel weird and perverted."

Anna laughed and looked more relaxed. "And we were both surprised by the result!" she pointed out. "So we'll see what happens with me. If I can't handle it, I'll let you know."

"Okay," she laughed. How was one supposed to start this kind of thing? Shrugging, both to herself and to Anna, she grabbed one of Anna's ankles. The foot twitched slightly in her grip. Then, after a second or two, she scratched her fingernails very lightly over the vulnerable sole — just once. Anna shivered from the sensation and gave Elsa a soft giggle.

The redhead than gave her sister a reassuring grin. "That definitely tickles." To follow up, she tickled her a little more, grinning like a little girl who found the stash of Easter candy a week early. Anna's giggles increased and her toes flexed in reflex.

The two thoughts sparked a memory within Elsa's mind. Easter candy and giggles, flexing toes… "Hey, Anna."

"Yeah?" Anna lifted her head to blink at her sister curiously. But that was all Elsa said before attacking just beneath the tips of Anna's toes with her lips, nibbling furiously and making Cookie Monster-ish gobbling noises. The combination of Elsa's soft lips, gently nipping teeth and the ridiculous noises sent Anna into a fit of laughter, her arms hugging her stomach.

"O-Oh my god E-E-Elsa!"

This time, Elsa didn't let up right away, only pausing briefly to grin up at her before attacking anew, hands only holding the ankle still so that she wouldn't get kicked by Anna's flailing limb. Anna's laughs grew louder. Finally, when she could tell Anna was almost crying with laughter, she pulled back with a chuckle of her own.

"You remember?" she asked breathlessly, crawling up to flop down next to her. Anna was panting heavily and her eyes were wet but the grin on her face never left.

"R-Remember?" she asked. "You did that before?"

"Not me," Elsa giggled as she poked Anna's side briefly; trying to tease, not to truly tickle this time. "Dad. When we were really little? He loved winding you up like that because you would giggle and turn beet red. It was pretty adorable."

"Oh yeah!" Anna lit up and let out another laugh. "I used to hate it when he did that!"

A little startled, Elsa drew back another few inches. "O-oh? Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to…" But Anna cut her off by leaning forward and capturing her lips with hers. The kiss was brief, only a little more than a peck, and when Anna pulled back, she was smiling adoringly.

"Don't be, I like it when you do it."

"Really?" Another peck, and Elsa found herself smiling in relief. For a brief moment, she had been worried that Anna was upset by revisiting the activity she had once hated. Then she laughed a little. "You know, you're basically kissing your own foot right now."

"That would be awfully prissy of me to only refuse you my mouth because of that." Anna giggled and shook her head. "Besides, it's not like it tastes that terrible, otherwise Dad wouldn't have kept doing it."

Reaching over to pet over Anna's knee, she grinned up at her. "Agreed. Though I think Dad only did it because he liked seeing us smile, regardless." Then she tilted her head to one side. "Want more tickles? I'm pretty surprised you don't mind it."

"We're having fun, aren't we? Of course I don't mind." Anna wrapped her arms around Elsa's neck and nuzzled her face against hers. Elsa nuzzled back, petting her hand up and down Anna's hip a few times. Then she raised the hand higher and began to wriggle her fingers against her ribcage. Anna jerked at the unexpected action, letting out a surprised squeak and a giggle. "Hey! A little warning next time!"

"Isn't that kind of the point of tickling? The surprise?" Elsa giggled as she kissed Anna's cheek, still tickling a bit here and there. Anna giggled more, giving Elsa a playful look as she returned the gesture by starting to tickle Elsa's skin herself. "H-hey, I thought this was supposed to be me tickling you!"

"I can't help it, you're so adorable when you're writhing beneath me, trying to catch your breath." Anna grinned at her double meaning, and Elsa flushed a deep red.

"O-oh, really? Well… I don't mind it, either." So she attacked her thighs this time, laughing in wicked glee as much as she was blushing. Anna let out a loud squeal and dissolved into a fit of laughter as the sensitive skin was ruthlessly assaulted. This time, she didn't let up at all; only sat back a little and redoubled her efforts, wondering how far Anna would let things go. How far they would go with it together. Anna flexed beneath her fingers, the muscles quivering. Tears are once again pooling in her eyes.

"E-Els-!" she mewled. So Elsa moved down to bite at that sensitive thigh-flesh instead, moving her hands up to Anna's knee to tickle just as much there. Anna let out a cross between a laugh and a moan, her legs twitching as though caught between opening wider and clamping shut, "T-T-Too much!"

Grinning, Elsa let up with her mouth enough to gasp out, "Want me to stop? Or is it… just the knee?"

"J-Just the knee." Anna whimpered. That was easy enough to fix. Smiling up at her, Elsa began to nibble on her thigh a little more, fingers digging into the opposite one. Anna's eyes squeezed shut as she cackled, the sensory overload making her tremble at Elsa's every move.

And then there was… the tempting wetness nearby. Elsa saw it, she sensed its closeness, but she still wasn't sure if she was ready to try that yet. Also, would Anna want to be tickled more? The way she said "Just the knee" made it seem like she was actually enjoying this enough to keep going! Were they both crazy?!

The redhead's whimpers increased and she looked at Elsa pleadingly. "E-Elsa..." she gasped out. There was a choice for her to make: down to tickle her toes again, or up further? Up toward…

The soft little folds looked so wet. That was when the elder sister decided that she would see what happened when she moved higher. Still digging in with her hands, she began to glide her mouth up toward that wetness. To find out what it would be like to truly taste her. Anna jerked slightly, gripping the blanket tightly in her unfiltered bliss. Her teeth began to gnaw very gently at the flesh just between thigh and center, fingertips still gouging into her inner thighs without stopping…

Anna let out a loud cry as she unexpectedly burst, throwing her head back… however…

She did burst. Elsa felt silly for being shocked when the warm liquid splashed across her face, for gasping aloud; she should have expected it. After all, that was exactly what happened when Anna did it to her, wasn't it? Though Anna lasted a lot longer before it happened than she had.

"O-oh," she belatedly breathed a few seconds later, blinking and stunned. Anna was beet red and looked horrified at what she did. She tried to clench her legs shut but Elsa was still between them. Instead, the redhead covered her face with her hands and let out a low moan of embarrassment.

"Oh my GOD, Elsa! I'm so sorry!"

Meanwhile, Elsa was having a hard time choosing between more reactions than she normally had open to her. She wanted to be disgusted, and angry, and apologetic for pushing Anna too far, and resigned to simply going to wash off. And buried under all of that…

She was turned on. Not quite by Anna peeing on her, though those feelings were complex. More that they had been so close and shared something so intimate that it wound up happening. Oddly humiliating as it was, she didn't mind nearly as much as she felt was socially expected.

The silence seemed to wear on Anna, who bit her lip hard and whispered, "E-Elsa? Are you mad at me?"

"No, no!" she gasped, smiling awkwardly as she petted along Anna's thigh. "It's… I am surprised; I shouldn't be but I am. Honestly, I should have been expecting that." Then she kissed Anna's knee. "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah… I honestly thought I was coming, though." Anna blushed harder. "N-Not the other thing."

"It's alright," she assured her again, smiling. "I'm going to go wash this off; want to come with me, or do you need a minute?"

"J-Just give me a sec." Anna smiled back, leaning back against the pillows and taking several deep breaths. "C-Can you bring me a towel, please?"

Nodding, Elsa got up and dashed to the bathroom, quickly rinsing off her face. She tried not to think too much about what she was rinsing off, and any implications; it wasn't that big of a deal, all things considered. She'd come into contact with much worse when they were cleaning the bathrooms. Besides, this was her sister, and she would rather feel slightly nasty due to her than with anyone else. And if she got upset about being peed on, it really would make her a hypocrite, wouldn't it? Not after that time in the bathtub.

Soon afterward, she padded back into the room and smiled at Anna, holding up the towel she had just finished using to dry her own face off. "Here."

Anna took the towel with a shy grin and lowered it so that she could dry her lower half, wiping her legs and carefully blotting the towel to soak up the little bit that had managed to get on the bed. Elsa felt guilty that she did this to her, but at the same time, Anna had done it for her before and she knew that it wasn't so bad.

"O-okay," she finally whispered, taking the towel back and tossing it toward the bathroom. "Sorry. I should have quit while we were ahead, I guess."

"It's okay," Anna chuckled. "Now I understand why you like it so much."

Nodding, she laid down next to Anna and began stroking her thigh — definitely without tickling this time. "It's different than actually… doing things. The way you did them for me. Fun, but… maybe we're both weird from genetics and we like being tickled way too much. I don't know."

"If it's genetic, then maybe Mom has this weird tickle-fetish, too," Anna joked and snuggled against Elsa. hugging her sister around the middle. Elsa sighed as she began to kiss Anna's cheek, fully intending to start up again.

"Our mother? I think her only fetish is going to church."

"Sometimes it's the uptight ones with the weirdest kinks!" Anna giggled as Elsa kissed her, pressing closer. But Elsa winced and glared down at Anna. Did she have to put a mental image like that in her head? Anna simply grinned back teasingly. "Sorry, sis, didn't mind to weird you out."

Patting the inside of Anna's naked thigh, she settled in as she muttered, "We're already weird enough as it is." Then she smiled. She couldn't help it; even though it was bizarre, their situation, what they were doing with each other… it was still wonderful in so many ways. "But… I'll get used to it."

Anna gave her a loving look before placing a soft kiss on her lips, sighing in pleasure at the warm hand settled on her thigh. "I love you," she murmured.

"Love you, too." Then she settled in, kissing back for a few seconds. Should she ask? Might as well. "Did… we want to try again, without the tickling? Or is one 'release' enough for the night?"

"I think I'm done for tonight. I'd rather just cuddle… unless you want me to get you off?" Shaking her head, Elsa snuggled in closer, glad for Anna's nearness. Anna held her closer, tangling her bare legs with Elsa's and nuzzling her face into her neck.

"This is perfect," she whispered into Anna's coppery hair. "Just… this right here." And she meant it more than the words could convey.

Anna's grip on Elsa tightened and her voice had an edge to it when she murmured, "Can we… not think about that right now?"

"No, I think we should get it out of the way. Then we can just… enjoy the rest of today." Rubbing Anna's back, she whispered, "I'm proud of you for the way you handled them. It was… a little scary, sure, but you really took control of the situation."

"B-But I feel so terrible about it," Anna confessed, gritting her teeth. "I threatened them… I'm no better than them for it..."

Frowning, Elsa tried to think of a way she could put this that would make Anna feel less awful. Maybe it wasn't possible, but she had to try. "Of course you are. You didn't start this; they made it impossible for us to keep living like that. You saw how smug and entitled they were, ordering us around." Then she added in an undertone, "Or at least, Aurora was. But they were all going along with her."

The redhead buried her face into Elsa's hair. "You heard Belle, too, right? How they wanted to 'teach us a lesson'... they thought they were doing us a favour…"

"Probably did. That they wanted to show us the error of our godless ways." Though at saying that, Elsa felt a fresh wave of guilt. She still couldn't shake the idea that God might really disapprove of their love — if not because they were both women, then because they were related. Knowing they were both mature adults who could choose who they wanted to love didn't settle any of her fears about what the Bible would say about them.

"If I had just been careful and less pushy, they wouldn't have been able to do this to us in the first place." Anna bit her lip and started to run her hands through Elsa's sleep-mussed hair.

"Mmm," she sighed pleasantly. Then she opened her eyes again to look into her sister's. "We both should have been more careful. Not just you. But… well, I don't think it's very Christian to blackmail anyone; Aurora should be ashamed of herself! We were merely settling the score. Besides, we both know you were never going to show anyone those pictures, right?"

"I planned on deleting them the second we leave camp." Anna glanced over at her phone. "As long as Aurora and the others don't tattle on us, then yeah. I have no plans on showing anyone."

Nodding as if she had expected that answer all along, Elsa pressed a kiss to her temple. "Of course. Especially those of Snow." She shivered to think of what the girl must have gone through. "Poor decisions… they all made a lot of poor decisions."

"I feel the worst about Snow," she confessed with a nod of agreement. As if they were sharing thoughts. "I- I really wish I could take it back just to erase the way she looked at me."

"Why? You didn't make her go to a party she's clearly too young to attend and make her accept offers she… is also clearly too young to accept. If anything…" Elsa hesitated, but she knew she was right, even if it also had the side effect of justifying their actions. "This might teach her the kind of lesson Aurora thought she was teaching us. That she's not ready to be that 'wild', and that it has consequences."

"I keep forgetting she's only seventeen." Anna flinched. "I literally blackmailed a minor!"

"She shouldn't be doing that, anyway!" Elsa whispered, as if it were a secret. Truly, in her mind, Snow was better off waiting another year — or longer, until she was married, or at least in a more serious relationship than hooking up with a random guy she would never see again.

"Do you think she actually consented to it? Or was she too drunk to say no?" Anna asked, looking even more horrified.

"Honestly? I'd rather not know. It's none of our business. But Snow had three other friends who were actually there and did nothing to help her; I… feel sorry for her, but I don't feel any personal guilt. God will deal with her and with her friends, and with whoever she hooked up with."

"I'm sorry," Anna murmured, "I- I really shouldn't feel as bad about this as I do."

Wrapping her arms tightly around Anna's body, she simply held her there for a moment. Then she whispered, "We'll get over it. And so will they, probably."

Anna hugged her back, snuggling into her sister's side and letting out a hum. "Okay." She nuzzled Elsa's ear, then spoke up to lighten the mood, "What shall we do for our day off?"

"Anything you want. Definitely get away from the campgrounds, but… we could take a hike, have a picnic. Just go see a movie. You name it." She meant every word; her only desire was to turn Anna's frown upside-down.

"There was a cute coffee shop in town that I spotted when we were shopping last weekend," Anna suggested. "I was going to point it out but we were both pretty deadset on getting ice cream instead, so I didn't bother."

That got Elsa humming as she sat up, petting up and down Anna's thigh and hip. "Well… yes, I think that might sound nice. We could take books and just sip coffee and chat for a while. Then if we think of something else to do, we can always leave."

Gloomy expression melting like ice in the sun, Anna smiled and said, "I would really like that! I saw a bookshop close by, too, if you want to take a look."

"Perfect!" Elsa said immediately, leaning in to kiss her forehead. "Shall we get ready and hit the bookshop first? Find reading material for the café?"

"Yeah!" Anna returned the kiss, only hers landed on right on the curve of Elsa's lips. Than she gently pulled herself out of Elsa's embrace so they could start getting ready.

                                                      ~ o ~

The rest of the morning slipped by into afternoon with as much pleasantness as they could expect. Sitting around and people-watching in the coffee shop was both relaxing and enjoyable. Elsa made her way through one chapter of her book, but that was as far as she could get with Anna to chat with — and cuddle with, when they were feeling a bit braver. Curled up together on the loveseat in the corner, it was easy to do without a lot of guilt.

Besides, as long as they didn't let themselves start making out, it didn't look that much out of the ordinary. Also, no one else from camp wandered in at any point, so there was no reason to care about being seen.

Once it got closer to dinnertime, they found a little Italian place and ate, talking of small things and discussing college plans and camp. Now and then, they would swap food, trying to out-seduce the other one with the way they would lick the other's fork clean. This came to a head when Anna accidentally stabbed her tongue while doing so, and Elsa had to fight to keep from bursting out laughing and interrupting everyone else's meal.

On their way back, they held hands the entire while. The longer they enjoyed each other after having confronted the true nature of their feelings, the more bold Elsa felt. She was in love with Anna, and though it still worried her what other people would think about them being together, she had decided at last that she couldn't truly feel guilty about it when her love was so real, and pure, and enduring. She would die a hundred deaths rather than be denied the precious sister that had been gone from her life for so long.

"Guess we have to stop now," she sighed when the campgrounds came into view, regretfully pulling her fingers away from Anna's. A look of disappointment crossed the redhead's face but it was brief and soon Anna was smiling brightly again.

"I had a really good time. Thank you so much, Snowflake." Before they exited the car, Anna took Elsa's hand back and lay a kiss on the knuckle. She shivered, closing her eyes and sighing at the contact of the sweet lips she had come to cherish so much.

"You… really have to stop," she wound up laughing breathlessly. The redhead simply beamed up at her, leaning forward to kiss her cheek instead.

"But I love kissing you," she cooed, giving the spot she kissed a small nuzzle. Which made Elsa smile even more bashfully. She simply couldn't seem to resist Anna no matter how hard she tried. Anna finally finished spoiling Elsa with affection, pulling away reluctantly before climbing out of the car and taking in a deep breath.

"I know," the elder sister sighed. "But we'll be okay. I've got my sister, my best friend, and my… m-my girlfriend by my side."

Her heart seized at using that last word. It was true, wasn't it? They really were that to each other, even if it was a new term to use. Anna looked at her, briefly surprised, before a brilliant smile lit up her face. It was so wide that she had to close her eyes to make room for it. She looked so happy.

"Yeah! I'll always by your side, just like you'll always be by mine!" she chirped. She reached out to grab Elsa's hand without a care of who saw them. "I have the best girlfriend in the world in my life. I can take on everything that life throws at me!"

Feeling her heart pound in her throat, Elsa squeezed the hand back as they strolled away from the parking lot. Though when they started to get closer to the grounds, she released her hand; there was being brave, and then there was inviting trouble.

"Oh, great," she sighed as they approached the cabins. "Look who's waiting for us."

Aurora and Belle were leaning against the side of Anna and Elsa's cabin. Aurora in particular zeroed in on the two once they breached the treeline, before slumping against the wall once again upon noticing the fair bit of distance Anna and Elsa had hastily put between one another. As they drew close enough to be within speaking distance, the blonde cleared her throat.

"Took you two long enough to get back." There was no true bite to her words.

"We were enjoying an off-day," Elsa told her, and there was a bit more acidity to hers. "We really needed it, after the day we had yesterday. Looking after all your campers, driving into town in the dead of night to pick up drunk girls from a party we weren't interested in…"

With a sigh, Belle hissed, "Alright, alright, we get it. You're pissed."

Anna squared her shoulders. "Of course we're pissed. If the only reason you two came here was to antagonise or threaten us, then you can save it and move on!"

Aurora glared between the two of them for a second before the fight left her. "That's not why we're here," she ground out reluctantly. "We need to talk. Privately."

"Why should we want to give you that privilege?" Elsa snapped. "Do you have any idea how you've made us feel these past few days?"

"Can we not talk about this out in the open where others can hear us, please?!" Aurora looked around nervously as though Father Frollo would walk out of the trees. "At least let's take this to me and Belle's cabin if we must."

When neither of the sisters responded right away, Belle added, "Please? We promise, we're not trying to… retaliate, or anything. Just talk."

Anna looked hesitant before she let out a heavy breath through her nose. "Elsa and I are going inside to drop our stuff inside the cabin," she finally said after a few tense seconds. "We'll talk about it. In five minutes, we'll let you know what we decide to do. And you will respect our choice. Whether we want to talk to you or not. Understand?"

Aurora looked like she wanted to protest but she nodded. "Five minutes," she agreed before leaning against the wall again.

"Alright," Elsa told them curtly. Not heatedly, but definitely with no large amount of love. Nodding to the two fellow counselors, she steered Anna inside.

Once in there, she brought her sister several feet away from the door before whispering, "You sent all those pictures and video to me, right? And backed them up on the cloud?"

Anna nodded. "Even if they somehow snatch my phone, I backed everything up and made copies on my laptop. If we do talk to them, I'd rather have it done in their cabin so they can't mess with anything." She bit her lip. "Plus… as a precaution, I backed up and deleted most of the pictures I had of us on my phone too. Included the background picture of me and you as kids."

Elsa knew that was one of her favourites. "Oh, Anna…" Then she sighed, taking out her phone and putting it under her pillow. "Well, you can put it back once this is all over. Let's… let's go and face the music. I want you to keep your phone with you, just in case we need to call for help. I can't believe I'm saying any of this, but I'd rather be safe than sorry."

Anna gave her phone a squeeze before putting it as deeply into her back pocket as she could before giving Elsa a very swift kiss on the cheek. "For good luck," she murmured quietly. Thankful they had forgotten to open the blinds since their last intimate moment. "Let's go and get this over with."

"Wait." Then Elsa pulled Anna in for a deeper kiss. If this was going to be for luck, she wanted a lot of it. Anna let out a surprised noise before returning the kiss eagerly, closing her eyes and taking Elsa's face between her hands. Just when she began to feel a tongue poking at her lips, she drew back, panting slightly. "O-okay, that's… that's probably getting close to five minutes."

She giggled softly and nodded, placing one last kiss on Elsa's nose before walking towards the door and opening it. Belle and Aurora were right where they left them and both counsellors turned to the pair at the emergence.

"So? Are you going to talk to us?"

"Very well," Elsa sighed, gesturing in front of them. "Lead the way."

As they walked, Belle glanced at the two of them suspiciously a few times. Elsa tried not to think about it too much; if she did, her cheeks might get even rosier than they probably already were.

Anna, however, was less subtle about it. "Is there something on my face, Belle?" she asked the brunette. "I would appreciate if you would tell me so I can get it off."

"You sure you two haven't been getting off already?" Belle muttered.

"Excuse you!" Elsa hissed sharply. Aurora frowned and nudged Belle with her elbow, leaning in to whisper something that neither sister could catch. Anna moved a little closer to Elsa in response, not liking that move at all if her expression had anything to say about it. It only took a second for Aurora to move away from the brunette and keep walking.

Soon enough, they were at their cabin, walking inside. The minute the door was shut, Elsa folded her arms across her chest.

"So? What do you want?"

Aurora leaned against the door. "We need to talk, that's all. About last night."

"What is there to talk about?" Anna shot back. "We did all the talking last night."

"I don't care what you say about the rest of us," Belle began, overriding whatever Aurora had been going to say next. "But… Snow didn't deserve this. We dragged her along; she wasn't really into the whole idea."

"Yeah. It took poor Snow hours to calm down last night." Aurora tapped her foot. "She's convinced that you'll tattle and ruin her. Anna, she's been kind enough to offer her bed to you when you two had your little 'lovers' spat'. It's cruel to hold this over her head."

Anna bit her lip and looked torn all over again. Elsa remembered it in a flash; the night they had been at odds, Snow was over at the other cabin and Anna had bunked with Rapunzel. She couldn't help feeling a little guilty… but at the same time, Snow had chosen her alliance to be with three other girls who felt right at home blackmailing lesbians into doing their chores.

"We're not holding anything over your head," Elsa snapped, voice far colder than Aurora's. "You wanted to out us. Get us thrown out of camp if we didn't do every stupid thing you asked of us. It's just a disgusting thing to do to other people, and definitely not Christian. We're only using the pics and video as insurance that you won't do that." A little nastier, she added, "Unlike you."

Aurora instantly turned on Elsa. "Out you!?" She hissed, "So you admit it, then! We were trying to teach you a lesson for choosing such a sinful path, and this is how you repay us?!"

Anna instantly flared up, "I'm sorry that Snow was upset, but if this is your version of 'teaching us a lesson', then it's a stupid one and I'm not going to go back on anything I did to ensure you two don't pull this bullshit again!"

"Wait, wait," Belle tried to interject, obviously looking terrified that thing were falling apart. "This wasn't what we called you down here for." Teeth gritted, she hissed, "Aurora…"

"What, Belle? Do you want them to get away with what they are doing?! Not just to Snow, but to themselves?"

Rolling her eyes, she snapped, "You really think blackmailing them into doing our chores is going to make them stop sinning? Please."

"Who died and made you our mother, anyway?" Elsa said with the world's greatest "resting bitch face".

In the wake of what was going on, Aurora forced herself to relax. She took several deep breaths and turned her back on the two girls. Once she was significantly calmed, she turned back to them once more. "I'll let Belle talk for now since I'm having such a hard time with this," she said coolly. "At least until I'm not ready to snap at the sight of you two..."

"Seems smart to me," Elsa muttered.

"Alright," Belle began, looking a little nervous now that she was "in charge" of this strange little meeting. "Well… personally, I do think the Bible says… what Aurora says she saw you doing…" She took a deep breath to calm herself, but in her case it was only from being flustered. "It does go against God's word, but on the other hand, it's between you and God. I feel bad that she tried to blackmail you for it; what she said made sense at the time, but now it doesn't. I feel… dirty."

"I feel the same way," Anna confessed. "About the pictures and video, I mean. Look — we don't want to hurt any of you, but you have to understand that you are the ones who forced us into this. And because of that, I'm not willing to let go of our only defence against you until me and Elsa are far away from here. I feel bad for taking these pictures and I feel even worse for finding it necessary to hold onto them but when it comes to Elsa's safety, I'm going to take any measures necessary. Even if this measure is below my own morals."

The room was quiet for a few seconds. Elsa didn't bother to add anything to that; she was too busy trying not to feel sick at the situation, or to feel a rush of affection for her sister.

"Okay… okay, I definitely see where you're coming from." Glancing at Aurora's stubbornly-turned back, Belle went on, "I mean… to me, you're straying from God, but I suppose… if you were threatening my boyfriend, Adam, I'd be furious with you. And I'd be trying to do anything I could to protect his best interests."

"I just want to know… why you would do any of this." The question wasn't aimed at Belle but at Aurora, who stiffened. "Why would you do this to us, to Elsa, in the first place? Why the slavery? That's not a very Christian way of doing things."

The blonde let out a snort. "You're one to talk," she said, but the words were half-hearted. "I told you why. It was to straighten you up. Girls don't love other girls. It's lust, it's a carnal thing. A little bit of discipline and prayer, and hard work is all you need to get it out of your system."

"Is that what your parents told you?" Anna asked quietly.

The room was quiet for a few seconds. "What's that supposed to mean?" Belle asked, brow furrowing.

"I think," Elsa said in a bewildered voice, "she's hinting that… Anna and I are not Aurora's first brush with homosexuality."

Aurora reached around to hug herself, digging her nails into her arm. "I don't know what you are talking about," she growled. "You shouldn't talk about things you don't even understand."

Anna blinked and bowed her head. "You're right," she said, "it's not really my business, is it?"

"Aurora, wait… really?" Nobody spoke, and Belle pushed a hand into her face. "Great. I'm the only straight person in this room."

Approaching Aurora, Elsa made sure to speak softly. "If it helps you at all… I was where you were when I first realised. I thought God would only punish me, that the feelings couldn't be real because they were 'sin'. I still worry about it, but… how can they be? How can love ever be wrong if God is love?"

"Shut up!" Aurora snapped. "What do you idiots know?! I'm not gay! I'm perfectly straight! I simply expressed a wrong opinion, a-and my parents corrected me the best way they knew how, that's it! You know nothing about me, don't try to pretend you do." She abruptly walked past Elsa and towards her bed, refusing to make eye contact with any of them. "Whatever, it doesn't matter. We talked about what we wanted to talk about, you two can leave."

Belle seemed too thunderstruck to say anything at all. Anna took a step forward but no more, looking concerned but also wary of the older counsellor. But Elsa was ready to dive in head-first. She took a seat on the edge of the bed, a couple of feet away from the other blonde.

"I'm pretty angry with you right now. But we're also fellow Peterhouse Counsellors. I…" Swallowing hard, she whispered, "I know you think I'm a disgusting sinner. But think about it; if that's true, what room would I have to judge you right now?"

Aurora glared at her but her brown eyes were glazed with tears. "I don't need to be judged," she said stiffly. "The only sin I did was trying to blackmail you, and I will pray to God tonight to forgive me, but I'm not afraid to be judged by you or anyone otherwise. His opinion is the only one that matters."

A pained look flashed through Elsa's features. "I didn't say I was going to judge you. I was trying to say the opposite." Sighing, she looked over at Belle and Anna for help. Belle shrugged as if to say, "Who, me?!" Anna looked lost, staring at Aurora as though she was seeing her for the first time. Her head was cocked like she was a puppy. Finally, she sighed and started walking over to the bed, too.

"You know Aurora… ou- my mom…" Elsa winced at the near-slip, but didn't interrupt Anna. "She wouldn't let me see my sister for five years after I told her I kissed my first girl. She totally shut me out of her life. I sent gifts, called, sent letters… Mom didn't let her have any of it. To her, having my sister think I hated her and didn't want anything to do with her anymore… was the better alternative to knowing a sister that loves her but is gay. She no longer treated me like her kid. She treated me like a disease… a parasite that would corrupt my sister. I had no idea any of this was going on until a few weeks ago. It hurt. It hurt so badly that even now, thinking about it makes me want to curl up and cry."

She paused and wiped away at the tears that were starting to build up in her eyes. Aurora was looking at her now and, similarly to Anna, seemed close to tears. There was a frown on her face but her angry eyes had softened as she listened. She looked like she was seeing the redhead in a new light.

"But….in the end, it was worth it. Because my sister knows the real me now, and she still loves me despite it all. You must feel lonely… it must be suffocating to hate something you can't control. But we're trying to say that if you want us to, we can help you."

"Who says I need help?!" Aurora snapped. But it was so feeble neither of them paid it much attention.

"Not 'help' as in to fix you," Elsa clarified. "Just… we'll listen. That's all we meant."

Finally, Belle shook herself from her shock at listening to Anna's confessions. "I'm pretty sure they mean it," she said as she rounded the two on the bed and sat down on Aurora's far side. "And… I'm here for you, too, if you ever need to talk. Now, or whenever."

Aurora glanced between all three of them, looking at her so earnestly and suddenly she couldn't hold it anymore. The anger, confusion and, admittedly, the warmth of their support caused the dam to break and Aurora began to sob, shaking her head desperately to stop the tears that refused to stop. Anna reached out and ran a hand gently up and down her back.

"It's alright," Elsa breathed, not trusting herself to say much more. Belle took up one of her hands to squeeze it as Anna petted her. She wasn't quite as good with touchy-feely things, so she didn't attempt the same. "You'll be alright."

It took several minutes for Aurora to finally calm down and she shrugged Anna's hand away from her. "What are you two even trying to accomplish?" she asked tiredly as she rubbed at her red eyes.

"We just want to help you understand, and to understand you. Isn't that what friendship is all about?" After a few breaths, Elsa finally did hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder. "And I'd really much rather have you as a friend than… than keep hurting each other."

Aurora regarded Elsa and crossed her arms. "While I agree that getting along is preferable at this point, you're not going to get me to change my mind," she said. "I still think it's sinful and wrong."

Grudgingly, she managed to say through gritted teeth, "That's… understandable. Before this year at camp, I would have agreed with you."

"What did you say to your parents?" Belle asked, hoping to shift the topic. "I can't imagine you saying anything to them that would make them snap like that."

"I simply asked if it was weird that I found a girl in my class cute," Aurora said in soft, bitter voice. "My nannies, who were cleaning at the time, got excited and got me to elaborate and I said things that were too much for my parents. So I was punished."

Elsa looked behind Aurora to Anna with a small smile of bemusement. Anna frowned in sympathy. Aurora rolled her eyes.

"I wasn't hit. I was just made to do all the chores in the house and listen to Father's lectures every night for two months. 'Work the sin out of my system,' as he put it. All in all, I got off easy and I'm better for it." The blonde tucked a strand of hair over her ear. "Either way, it's getting late. You ladies should be heading off back to your cabins." Anna looked like she wanted to protest, shuffling her feet, before Aurora mentioned, "I'll… think about what you both said and get back to you on it. But don't expect me to turn into some liberal weirdo."

"Alright," Elsa said as she stood. She hesitated. Then she added quietly, "I know this won't mean a lot coming from 'sinners', but I think your parents overreacted. It's not necessarily 'gay' just to remark on the beauty of another girl."

Nodding along, Belle echoed, "Exactly. I mean, I think women are beautiful all the time, but I don't want to date any of them." Then she scoffed and muttered, "Well, except Kristen Stewart. But I think she's every girl's exception."

"It wasn't that I thought the girl was cute that got me into trouble, it was the fact that I had said 'if I were a guy, I'd date her' that did." Aurora offered that nonchalantly before waving a hand in Anna and Elsa's direction. "Now off with you two before you get in trouble."

Anna looked ready to protest before she simply nodded and grabbed Elsa's arm, despite the worried glance she cast in the oldest blonde's direction. "Come on, we overstayed our welcome for now," she said quietly to her sister.

"Goodnight," Belle offered, though her eyebrows were raised at the other two as she pushed the door closed. Clearly, they were all thinking the same thing, but it wouldn't be wise for them to discuss it at the moment.

As they walked back to their own cabin, Elsa let out a long, shaky sigh of relief. "WHEW."

Anna giggled softly and took Elsa's hand in her own. "That was stressful, wasn't it? But at least it didn't go as badly as we feared."

"No, you're right. It went far better than I expected. Poor Aurora… I mean, not in terms of money, or of being a colossal bitch, but because her parents came down on her for something so innocent…"

"I feel sorry for her, too," Anna admitted. "And the fact that… she took it to heart so seriously… it's really sad." She frowned and her shoulders fell dejectedly. "She not so bad under that 'Mean Girls' exterior, but all that prejudice is in the way of her being our friend… not to mention she must hate that part of herself so much because of what her parents practically beat into her."

Reaching for the door to their cabin, Elsa said, "She must. I know that it was hard for me after Mom said that… that we…"

But they were not alone. Waiting on Anna's bed was someone that should not have been there.

"H-hey, Anna. Can we talk?"

Soon enough, Rapunzel was letting Anna into her room and easing the door shut behind them. Then, unexpectedly, she locked it. The sound made a nervous shiver pass through Anna's back. She gave Rapunzel a smile, one that was subdued from nerves.

"What's the lock for?"

"Um… I don't want Snow walking in on this," she whispered quietly. "Um, you can sit with me on the bed, or if that's too weird you can take the desk chair?"

"Why would it be weird to sit with you? We're friends, Punzie." Anna walked over and sat on Rapunzel's bed, eyeing her friend and puzzling over her odd behaviour. She looked so scared… like she was expecting Anna to attack her. It made Anna worry immensely. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Squirming even more, she finally sat down, drawing one leg up as her flip flop fell to the floor, wrapping her arms around her shin. "Not really. I mean, I'm gonna be fine, and I'm not dying or anything, but right now… I'm kind of struggling with something."

Understanding dawned on Anna and she reached out to take one of Rapunzel's hands. If this was going the direction she thought it was, she had to present a calming, accepting front or she might really hurt her. "Oh Punzie," she cooed, "it's okay to be unsure about this. I understand."

"Okay," she breathed heavily, shaking a little and gripping Anna's hands. She didn't look any more certain of herself, or less nauseated, but she at least was very slightly less tense. "I've spent a couple of days trying to figure out how I'm going to do this, and I'm still not sure!"

"Take your time, don't rush," Anna continued to soothe. She gave the brunette's knuckles a couple quick strokes with her thumbs. "It will be a little weird at first, but it's only natural to feel this way."

"Well… yeah." Blinking at Anna a few times, sparing the knuckles and awkward glance, she went on, "I mean, that's what I was thinking, too. But then there's you, and you really…" Shaking her head slightly, her voice broke as she whispered, "You seem so fine with it! And I don't know how you can be! Why doesn't it bother you?"

"Being gay isn't something to be ashamed of, Punzie." Anna smiled at her friend. "I know it's strange and hard to take in now, but trust me, it gets easier. Just have to get used to thinking of things in a new way."

For a moment, Rapunzel's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at Anna, dropping her leg and turning toward her a little more. "What? I mean… I know that. Like, you told me."

Anna's brow furrowed, as well. "If you knew, then why would you ask if it would bother me? Hell, Punzie, I'm the last person you should worry about revealing your newfound sexuality to."

"My newf- wait, wait. Do you think… I'm coming out to you right now? Is that what you think this is about?"

"Well, yeah." Anna gave her a sheepish grin. "I'm… going to take it that this is… not the case?"

With a slow shake of her head, she snorted, "NO! I mean, geez Louise, I really don't think so!" Then she chuckled a little. Her cheeks were still pink, but that could still have been from preexisting anxiety, not from being mistaken for a member of Anna's community.

"Okay, my bad," she giggled. "So you're definitely not coming out to me."

"No, no I'm not, but thanks for your support." She laughed a little more before her expression began to grow more bittersweet. "Oh… maybe this is none of my business. You're such a good friend, and… I dunno, I feel bad for even bringing it up."

Anna gripped her hands again. "What's wrong?" But Rapunzel only looked guiltier and guiltier. She frowned in concern. "Punzie?"

"Snow… has been telling me some things. About you and Elsa. And like, I know how rumours go and all that, but… I can't pretend I didn't hear them, y'know?"

Anna didn't like the sound of that. She bit her lip and regarded her friend. "What did she say exactly?" she asked hesitantly.

"That… she caught you two kissing. Like, maybe she was trying to start something; I know Aurora's not a bad person, but sometimes she can kind of… be un-nice without meaning to."

"Ah." Anna felt her heart stutter in panic, her mind reeling. Rapunzel was the only one of the girls who knew of her real relationship to Elsa, and now… She had to approach this as carefully as she could. "Do you think it's true?"

"It couldn't be! At least… that's what I thought, at first. That she saw it wrong, or something." Swallowing hard, she stared down at her bedspread as she went on, "But then I started really watching how you two are together… and like… I didn't think for sure it was true, ever, I promise. Just… the way you were spooning that time I stopped by…"

"Sisters cuddle all the time," Anna pointed out. She felt bad for the half-truth but she figured it would be better in the end if she could throw off Rapunzel's suspicions.

"Y-yeah. I'm…" The poor girl nodded, looking like she was hating herself for every word. "I'm sorry. I know you're right, that you and Elsa… y-you wouldn't be like that. It's a sin. Even more of a sin than the other sin! But… I don't know, I wanted to ask instead of just… believing her, or not believing her, or…" Another sigh. Anna had to consciously keep herself from gripping the sheets underneath her, noticing Rapunzel's discomfort and not wanting to make her feel worse. "But you really do look at each other in, like, a boyfriend-girlfriend way."

"We're really close, yeah," Anna said, and even she knew how weak that sounded.

Again, Rapunzel looked up at her. This time, she looked a lot more stricken. "If… it is true, though… I'm sorry. I really don't have any right to ask you about any of this. Y-you can go back to your room, or… whatever…" But even as she said it, Anna couldn't help feel that leaving now would just make herself look worse. Instead, she looked down at the hand still caught between hers and started puzzling over how to respond.

"Anna?" When she still didn't answer, Rapunzel leaned closer. "It's… it's true… isn't it?"

Anna's lip trembled. She wanted to deny it and tell Rapunzel that it wasn't, but her heart was at war with her brain, telling her to be honest. That she and Elsa's relationship didn't deserve to be treated like a dirty secret — and that Punzie deserved the truth no matter how painful or risky that was.

The word was out before Anna could stop it. "Yes."

"Oh." Rapunzel looked away. It seemed like she was trying to keep from reacting, even though her face was pale and she was shivering a little. "You… and she? But…" She stopped herself and swallowed. "Well, that's great! I mean… y-you were so worried you wouldn't be able to get along with her anymore, and now… n-now you're really getting along!"

"You don't have to pretend to be okay with this, Rapunzel," Anna said softly, her face burning with a guilt she realistically knew she had no reason to feel. Except that she did; society made sure she did.

"It's not my business! I told you, I… well, I just w-wanted to make sure I wasn't… believing… I wanted to give you a chance to tell me I was wrong, I guess." She sounded close to tears. "B-but don't worry, I, um… the others don't know you're sisters, a-and I'm sure as heck not gonna tell them now."

"I really appreciate that, Punzie." Anna kept her voice as sweet as she could. "Thank you so much for being such a… wonderful friend." She swallowed the hard lump in her throat and fought to keep tears down herself. "D-Do you… want me to leave?"

At first, Rapunzel didn't respond. Then she glanced up at Anna's face and away. "I… I don't know, Anna. This is harder than the other thing. I mean… all I can think about is deformed babies, b-but you two can't have babies, anyway, so it's… I don't really…" She swallowed hard as if she were trying to keep her lunch down.

"I get it." Anna bit her lip, sympathetic to the clear struggle Rapunzel was going through. "What me and Elsa share… it's taboo. To most people, it's immoral and disgusting and we're terrible for doing it… but if I'm honest, Punzie, I don't care what those people think because… what we have is something really special. We love each other so much… and even if it's more than God or whoever says we should, I personally don't see anything wrong with it because I believe there is nothing wrong with true love."

That seemed to throw Rapunzel for even more of a loop. She sputtered for a few seconds, then simply went quiet as she tried to absorb what Anna was telling her.

"Punz?"

"True love? With your sister? But… I…"

Anna gave Rapunzel a tiny smile. "People always say that your heart would never tell you a lie when it comes to love. And my heart definitely knows that I've never loved anyone more than I love Elsa. Blood or no blood."

"Well, yeah, but not love this way. Of course you love her! I just… a-are you going to do…" Her face turned a little pale as she contemplated how to phrase things for Anna, and she wound up giving up with a little groan of uneasiness.

"Don't think about that if it makes you uncomfortable." The redhead sighed heavily. "Just… think about what you and Flynn have and apply it me and Elsa. Voila. Same thing."

Her meek voice asked, "You really feel that strongly? Like, for reals?" When Anna nodded, her eyes went a lot rounder. "Jeepers… but… okay, I need to stop asking the same questions over and over. Sorry. Just… I don't know if I can handle this, b-but I won't tell anyone. So… don't worry about that part."

"We really appreciate it, and… I hope that this doesn't ruin our friendship completely… I- I really like having you as a friend." Anna stood up. "I should go."

Nodding, Rapunzel didn't move or get up. But when Anna reached the door, she said, "Hey… I, um… it's not right, what Aurora and her friends did to you. Or tried to do, or whatever. Just… y-yeah, even if I'm not completely cool with the situation, I think they were jerks."

"Thanks." Anna gave the other girl a weak grin. "Nice to know that not everyone is willing to condone that kind of jerkishness." She shuffled her feet slightly. "Anyway… have a good night, Punzie."

"Goodnight." But she sounded very small, and very defeated as she whispered it.

                                                                         ~ o ~

"Well… how did she take it?"

"About as well as you would expect." Anna paced restlessly and her face was overwhelmed with sadness. The thought of losing someone who had so quickly become such a treasured friend was crushing. "She promised she wouldn't tell on us and even said that what the others did was wrong, but… God, Snowflake, she looked ready to be sick any minute…"

Elsa swallowed hard, looking down at how her hands were fidgeting with each other. "Well… I guess we shouldn't have hoped any differently. We are… defying the laws of nature."

"We aren't defying nature. We're defying societal standards." Anna huffed and ran her hand through her bangs. "M-Maybe she'll come around to it? To this just being how we are together, and it's not hurting anybody?"

"Maybe. After all, I didn't think I would, either, and yet here we are…" After a brief shrug, she flashed a wan smile up at her sister. "And… I guess you're right. Obviously, it can't be completely unnatural if it happened. It's not like either of us woke up one morning and decided we would really spit in God's eye by doing this."

"Exactly." The redhead flopped down onto the bed beside Elsa with a soft grunt and covered her eyes with her arm. "I'm just… sad. I really like Punzie, and knowing she probably hates me for this is…"

Getting up to cross the room, Elsa sat on her bedside and took Anna's hand. A calmer, less overtly romantic gesture. "She'll come around. I don't know her very well, since I don't talk to the other counselors too often, but… she seems like a very decent person, just from those few times the three of us have hung out together. I can't see her being too unreasonable for too long."

There was silence from Anna as she simply gripped the hand holding hers tightly. She took in the comforting gesture, eyes still closed, before she tugged the hand up to press it to her lips. "Thank you," she whispered.

"Anytime. And… even if…" She sighed, as if unsure about continuing. Anna blinked and gave her a comforting smile.

"If?" she prompted.

"Even… if we wind up not being able to stay in this relationship, after all. Because of the… familial part." But she rushed onward, "I made a choice that loving you and doing what's best for you comes first. So if we wind up having to 'break up' to stay sisters and friends, then I will. I hope we don't have to, but I wanted you to know how important that part is to me."

"Okay." Anna nodded and gave Elsa a watery smile. She looked down at their hands and gripped Elsa a little tighter, gently placing their joined hands to her heart. "I can accept that so long as you are still with me as a sister."

"Always." Then she raised the paired hands up to press her lips against them, to show Anna some affection. "But… I have a very strong feeling we won't have to worry."

Anna beamed at that before leaning in to press her lips directly to Elsa's, pouring all the love into it that she could. Humming, Elsa fell into the contact, pushing into her sister's mouth, wrapping her arms around her back. Contented, Anna rested her hands on Elsa's stomach, a sigh of bliss escaping between their lips as she fluttered her eyes closed.

"You're perfect," she murmured.

"No, you," Elsa whispered back, running fingertips through the back of Anna's hair as they laid there.

"Let's not get into this argument," Anna laughed, placing a kiss on her nose. "Otherwise, it will never end."

Grinning, the elder sister kissed the corner of the younger's mouth. "True." Then another, and a longer, sweeter one. Anna enjoyed the domesticity of their actions. The flirting, the kisses, the sweet talks… all of it helped to chase away the darkness that had taken root over the last few days and cemented the truth in Anna's mind. That she and Elsa were doing nothing wrong in their love for one another. That they were each other's True Loves.

That thought sent warmth through Anna's entire being. Her happiness exploded in a burst of heavy tears, which resulted in embracing Elsa and clutching her tightly to her chest while littering her face with kisses.

"Anna?" The kisses seemed to help keep Elsa from being truly concerned. "Aww… you alright down there?"

"I- I…" She couldn't tell Elsa just how happy she made her or how much she loved her, not with her throat so tight. How she wanted to give Elsa the world, the stars, the moon and the sky if it meant seeing her smile just a second longer. Instead, Anna let out a choked sob and pressed their foreheads together. There was so much that Anna wanted to say, yet nothing seemed enough to express her sentiments. She buried her face into her sister's hair and just basked in her scent and the security and warmth that Elsa's mere presence offered her.

And Elsa was there, warm, comforting, petting over her hair as she let Anna cry herself out in her hair. After a minute or so, she whispered, "I love you, Anna. I promise, it's never going to change again; I… won't let myself be deceived anymore about what kind of person you are. My beautiful, perfect sister…"

"I l-love you, too," Anna managed to choke out, clinging like a baby koala at her words.

"Are you sure you're alright?" she whispered against her forehead as she pushed her back to kiss it gently.

"F-fine." She closed her eyes. "I'm just...really happy right now." All Elsa did in response was to hold her closer, caressing over her hair and kissing tenderly. Being there for her.

It took awhile before Anna reluctantly pulled herself away from her older sister. Her tears had long since dried and she had calmed down significantly, but she didn't leave the security of Elsa's embrace until she felt the familiar tickle in her abdomen that indicated that nature called. She pouted a little when she finally stood up. "I'll be right back."

"Okay," Elsa said with a pleasant smile, reaching up to caress Anna's face before it was out of reach. "You'd better be; I miss you when you're gone." Anna blushed and gave her a shy, little grin. She nuzzled into Elsa's hand, placing a sweet kiss on her palm before she straightened up and made her way to the bathroom to relieve herself.

She didn't keep in the soft giggles, feeling only a little embarrassed that she was on the toilet by herself while she did so. However, the happiness she felt refused to be contained. Despite everything, she really felt that things would work out for the two of them. That she and Elsa would live happily together soon enough. As she finished and washed her hands, she had to bite her lip to keep her smile from hurting her cheeks. She emerged feeling so giddy that she was bouncing slightly.

"Hey, Elsa!" she cheered happily. "Did you miss me?"

"No," Elsa said sarcastically with a little laugh. "It's not like I just told you I miss you. Now, come here." Anna grinned, jogging lightly towards the bed before leaping into it, making Elsa jump a little when she landed so that she was facing her sister.

"Hiya!" she teased. It earned her a kiss on the tip of her nose, even though Elsa was rolling her eyes. Anna laughed and kissed her nose back with twinkling eyes. "What's a beauty like you doing in my bed, anyway?"

After a moment of blinking, Elsa snorted and bumped their foreheads together. "I was about to ask you the same thing. Since this is my bed, silly." Anna was struck momentarily baffled before casting what she hoped was a subtle glance down at the bedsheets to confirm. Blue sheets, definitely not green.

However, Anna decided to turn the screw-up to her advantage. With a flirtatious smile and a wink, she purred, "What's the difference?"

Elsa's smile was just as mischievous. "I suppose you're right at this point." Her hand came to rest on Anna's waist as she pulled her in closer. Anna's heart fluttered with nerves. Elsa had been getting bolder and less insecure with their flirting and it did wonders for Anna's libido to see her sister like this. It reminded her slightly of when they were kids, and how despite Elsa's calmer and more mature demeanor, she was just as, if not more, playful and mischievous than Anna when no one was looking. Only now that playfulness was more mature in nature and it made Anna's cheeks hot.

"Something the matter?" Elsa whispered, scooting a little closer still and kissing one of said hot cheeks. Anna gripped at Elsa's shoulders, slipping under the shirt so that she could feel the smooth skin and strong muscle under her hands, stared into those big glacial eyes that peered into her own. She felt naked under her gaze and it sent a glorious rush through the redhead as she started to caress Elsa lightly.

"Nothing at all," she whispered back, leaning in to brush her lips lightly over Elsa's own cheek. "Everything is just perfect."

So Elsa kissed her again, and this time the kiss stretched on for minutes. She was enticing, and kept up the pressure and attention as she began to roll slightly so that she was atop Anna, tongue searching for its mate. Anna shuddered beneath her older sister and eagerly met her tongue, fighting to keep her eyes from closing just so she could admire the serenity on Elsa's face. But when Elsa noticed, she drew back and blinked down at her.

"What is it?" she asked this time instead, her voice a bit sultrier. Anna's mouth went dry as she admired the body hovering over her own. Another soft shudder passed and she blinked slowly.

"W-why do you have to be so sexy without even trying?" she husked back.

That prompted a few blinks from the blonde, but she then smiled wickedly and pressed her lips against Anna's neck, just below her ear. "Because… you bring it out in me. Not like I know what I'm doing."

Anna moaned at the tremendous jolt that fired through her as a result of that kiss, turning a brilliant shade of scarlet at the loudness of her own voice. The sensitivity of the area Elsa currently had her lips to made her quiver with hot desire with every breath the winter blonde took. She gripped Elsa tightly.

"God, Elsa!" she whimpered as a hand began to trail up and down her side, barely even doing anything. "You drive my body crazy and you don't even try!" It kind of scared Anna just how easily Elsa could play her. How easy it was for her to make her emotions and physical being go haywire in both the best and worst ways possible.

And right now, with Elsa so close and her touches so light and teasing… it felt like the fires of hell and the warm bliss of heaven all at once.

"Is your body… really going that crazy?" Elsa asked in a slightly less self-assured voice. "Because if it is, then maybe… maybe I could do something about that."

Anna pulled away just long enough to turn around so she was facing Elsa before she wrapped her arms around Elsa's neck and pulled her into a close embrace. "You're pretty wow yourself," she hummed.

"I'm…" Realising she didn't know what she was going to say, Elsa let out a shaky laugh. "Anna. I'm kissing Anna." Then she realised she had said that out loud and bit her lip sheepishly; she sounded like a complete idiot.

Anna giggled and nuzzled Elsa's neck. "Yes you did, and it felt really nice for Anna, too."

Hearing that Anna didn't seem phased at all by how silly she sounded, Elsa smiled and kissed her again, briefly and sweetly. "I know we've done it before, but it's still pretty… yeah." Another kiss. "Mm, it's pretty addicting."

Anna sighed against Elsa's lips and she was so content and happy that she practically purred when she whispered, "You're as sweet and tasty as chocolate. Of course it's addicting."

"I was just thinking the same thing…" Licking her lips, she closed them for a moment as she smiled. "Alright. Alright, we're supposed to be showering, right? Sorry, I didn't mean to make this about… you know, other things."

"It's okay." Anna smiled and turned back around, once again placing her hands on the wall to expose as much of her body as possible for cleaning, "Let's finish up quick so we can lay down and cuddle together?"

Smiling, Elsa took up the washcloth. "Yes, that sounds wonderful. Just let me soap this up again."

But as she did so, her eyes kept going back to Anna's beautiful body. It was the first body, and so far the only body, that she had ever given more than a passing glance. And it was a gorgeous one, to be sure.

"Hey, Elsa," Anna said, sounding suddenly shy as she glanced at Elsa over her shoulder. "When you get to my chest, be gentle, alright? I'm really sensitive there."

"Oh, really?" Raising the cloth, she flicked it very briefly over one of Anna's nipples. Anna let out a breathless whimper as a full body shudder ran down the length of her body. "Hmm, you're right; really sensitive."

Anna squeezed her thighs together and looked embarrassed, her cheeks flushed. "Elsaaa, was that really necessary? I'm already really-" She paused and bit on her lip, looking back at the wall. "Um, never mind."

"Already what?" No answer. Shrugging, she began to soap up her front a little more earnestly, not just teasing this time. Anna relaxed as the cleaning began again but she kept her legs pressed together regardless, let out soft sighs and hums whenever Elsa grazed a particular sensitive area. And Elsa couldn't help noticing.

Once through with her chest and stomach, Elsa tried for her underarms. When she noticed a shiver, she cracked a smile. "I'm actually not trying to tickle you, I promise."

Anna nodded and raised her arms in response to the reassurance. "Good, because like you, I can't restrain myself very well." She giggled lightly.

"Good to know. But… I mean, I like you making me lose control that way. Would you… I mean, do you want me to try…?" Why did she feel so odd about this? Shaking her head, she let out a laugh as she switched to the other armpit. "Nevermind."

"Maybe later, once I'm clean." Anna's giggle came slightly louder as Elsa cleaned her armpit. "W-we're gonna run out of water soon if we keep s-stalling."

Shrugging, she began to clean down Anna's leg. "Cold water doesn't bother me that much." When she reached her ankle, she picked the leg up with one hand while the other scrubbed her foot. Sparing a smile upward, she said, "I never noticed before, but your adorable little freckles even come all the way down here."

"Thank you?"

"That was a weird thing to say, wasn't it? Especially while I'm washing your feet." Elsa laughed as she switched to the other leg. "Sorry."

"It's not that, it's just… no one has ever said that before." Anna lifted her foot for Elsa, using one of the hands on the wall for balance so she didn't slip on the wet tile. "Just wasn't expecting it."

That didn't seem quite right. Once cleaned, Elsa splashed her foot clean and then pressed a kiss to the tip of her big toe. "Well I think someone should. I don't mind being that someone."

"Thank you," she repeated shyly. The blush was back, turning Anna's face an adorable shade of dark pink as she wiggled the toe that had been kissed. She looked down at Elsa lovingly. "You're so good to me, Snowflake."

"Always, Moondrop. Even your cute little toes." Smiling blissfully, Elsa stood back up. "Now I just have to get your butt." Her rag dropped down to smooth over the soft globes, her free hand pressing very gently into Anna's stomach.

Anna gasped and her stomach flexed under Elsa's hand as the cloth gently caressed her rear. She gave her legs another squeeze. "O-oh."

This time, there was no way Elsa could miss her reaction. She knew what it could mean, but she also knew she could be wrong. "Is that… well… do you like this?" She still felt a little odd about asking questions like those, but maybe it would be alright. After all, if Anna didn't care about being peed on…

"Y-yes," Anna murmured. "Sorry, this just feels really nice." Elsa's stroking of her rear slowed down, moving in circles that were more like a loving caress than scrubbing. Anna moaned softly.

"I love you so much."

The words shot through into Elsa's core. The tingling from when she had been washing herself, and from when Anna was tickling her… it was starting to come back. All by itself. Again, she could name it, but she felt far too embarrassed to try just in case she was wrong. Even in her thoughts.

So instead, she decided to try something. Sure, Anna had handed over the washcloth the last time so she could do it herself, but… maybe…

Elsa's hand began to push the soapy cloth between her sister's firm cheeks.

Anna's breath hitched and she tilted her head back, letting out another, much louder moan. "E-Elsa…?"

"Have to finish washing you," Elsa told her in a whisper as she continued to trail down until she reached the tiny puckered area that she could not see, but could only feel the difference.

When she touched it, Anna's body went tense and her forehead rested on the wall, her eyes tightly clenched shut. Her breathing turned ragged and there was a wetness that was definitely not from the shower beginning to trail down her leg. "God, Snowflake..."

Could it be that she made Anna release in the same way she had when being tickled? Maybe it was just a trick of the light. Elsa had intended to just wash the tiny opening as fast as she could the way she usually did for herself, get the unpleasantness over with, but with Anna reacting this way…

"You do like this." It wasn't a question as it had been for her cheeks; she was making a statement for Anna to either confirm or deny. "Like me washing your butt."

"O- of course I do," Anna confirmed softly. "It's… it's all so intense and amazing with you… when you touch me like this…" She shifted slightly, widening her stance. "I feel like I'm on fire in the best way possible."

Again, Elsa felt a pulsing, and could no longer pretend it wasn't coming from between her own thighs. But she didn't want to focus on that; she wanted to focus on Anna, on "setting her on fire" as she so eloquently described it. To that end…

"Good," she whispered as she began to gently move her finger from side to side. Anna clenched her cheeks, trapping Elsa's finger there.

"Y-you might want to stop," she panted, her face flushed and teal eyes glazed. "I- I don't want you getting yourself into something you can't h-handle."

At that, Elsa gulped; she knew what Anna meant. At least, she could make a good guess; when it came to these matters, she was a complete novice. But she wasn't entirely oblivious. Still, she figured she would ask another question instead of confronting that directly. At least, for now.

"Wasn't expecting it, no. Because I… thought you would react like this if I had my hand… around in the front. B-but if you like being touched back here, that's fine! Completely fine! I just… I'm surprised, that's all."

"It's kind of the same in terms of sensitivity and… pleasure," Anna answered. "My butt's as happy to be stimulated as my vagina is." She blushed at the words and bit her lip.

"O-oh…" Did it really? It was true that her own felt sensitive, which is why she awkwardly washed it as fast as she could every time. It made her uncomfortable. But if Anna had a different feeling about it…

Elsa withdrew the hand with the washcloth. For a moment, it looked as if she was going to be finished, or move on to using conditioner. But she picked up the soap and flipped over the rag, soaping up the other side. Anna looked at Elsa over her shoulder, somehow managing to look disappointed and intrigued at the same time.

"You're done with m-my back, then? Should I turn around?"

"I'm done with just about everything… but no, you can stay right where you are." She swallowed. This was the craziest thing she had ever done, but somehow, doing it with Anna made her a lot less terrified than she would have been with anyone else. "Is… this alright?"

The question came just as the washcloth began to trail around to the front, drifting up the inside of Anna's thigh.

"A-ah!" Anna gasped loudly.

"S-sorry," Elsa breathed as she withdrew the washcloth. Too much; she should have known that.

"Are you trying to get me off?" she asked bluntly, than gently banged her head on the tile wall with a groan. "Because it's getting really hard to hold it in when you… do stuff like that."

"Well… we do still need to wash you there." The cloth returned, staying still on her thigh this time. "And if you… happen to 'get off' while I'm washing… then… I guess it would be alright." Elsa could practically hear herself blushing. Did she really just say that to her sister?!

Anna stayed very quiet for several seconds, her gaze on the cloth still settled on her thigh before she quietly asked, "You'd really be okay with that? Or are you just saying that to make me happy?"

Elsa shook her head, imploring Anna with her wide eyes. "No, no, I- I would! I mean…" Swallowing hard, she forced herself to be the tiniest bit more open. "I'm very curious to hear how you'll sound. And… God, I think I've been secretly curious about it ever since I figured out what you did in the bathroom that morning. I w-want to help."

"You're sure?" Anna pressed, "I- I really don't want to do this and then have you… regret it… that's all." She bit her lip, but Elsa leaned in to kiss it immediately.

"Very sure. Um… just promise me that if I look uncomfortable, you won't think I actually am? It's just really new and I'm not used to this, it's nothing to do with not liking what we're doing!"

Finally Anna relaxed and relented, smiling shyly at her older sister. "Okay."

The moment of truth. Bracing for a negative reaction, either from herself or from Anna, Elsa slid the cloth upward until it hit home.

The moan that escaped Anna was softer, and more breathless than the ones before and Anna reached out to rest her hands on Elsa's shoulders. "G-God," she whimpered.

"Yeah?" Elsa breathed, trying to make her voice sexy. She wasn't sure if she was succeeding or not, because she had virtually no practice, but she hoped her earnestness would help make up for it. "You like that? You want more?"

"Y-Yes!" Anna gripped Elsa tighter and spread her legs a little more, giving the blonde better access. "Y-Yes please!"

So Elsa gave her more. Not a lot, and probably not as fast as Anna wanted, but she started gently rubbing along her the way she would with herself. The way she had mere minutes ago. If that was what Anna felt every time she touched herself… she could understand becoming addicted to that feeling.

"Oooh Elsa, th-that feels so good." The redhead leaned against Elsa and her eyes became hazy, "R-Right there, please!"

"Here?" The question was ridiculous; when Elsa moved again and heard more gasping, she knew. Definitely there. "Oohhh… you look like you're actually enjoying this…"

Anna bit her lip and suddenly, one of her hands drifted down until it was settled on Elsa's wrist. "D-Don't be afraid to-" She blushed hotly and guided Elsa's hand higher, until her finger just brushed her swollen clit. "I-It feels really good there."

While she could technically feel a slight difference, she couldn't tell exactly through the cloth. But she could definitely remember where Anna made the highest noises and keep rubbing in the same spot. "Like this?"

"Yesss," Anna purred, arching into the touch. "Perfect…" Elsa ramped up the speed and pressure just a little. Anna jerked and it looked like it was taking considerable effort to stay on her feet, the look on her face speaking volumes of the pleasure she was feeling as the volume of her moans and gasps increased. "Elsaaaaaa!" she whined desperately.

Time for another experiment. "That feels good, doesn't it? Me… touching you." That wasn't good enough; she had to say sexier things. But she didn't know how! Licking her lips, she tried again. "You like what my hand can do for you, don't you?"

Anna nodded and gave Elsa a heated look. "Mmm, I do. I love it when your hand strokes me like that," she moaned, long and loud. "You make me feel so good and wet, Elsa..."

"Hah!" Elsa burst out in sheer disbelief. This couldn't be happening. It was pure insanity! This was sin, they were sisters! But to reassure her sister, she kissed her shoulder as she continued to stroke. "How… long have you wanted me to do this? Tell me."

Her eyes closed and briefly, a look of shame crossed her face. "Since… since the first time you kissed me..."

"You wanted my hand between your legs? Just like this?" In point of fact, at that point Elsa wouldn't have minded putting it between her own legs, but she ignored that for the time being. "In that case… sorry it took so long to give you what you want."

"D-Don't be sorry, I-" Anna gripped Elsa's unoccupied hand and started lay frantic kisses upon the soft skin, "I'm happy with what you're giving me now."

"And what am I giving you?" she breathed, cupping her hand a little so that she was practically grasping the fleshy mons above her sister's sex.

"Ahh!" Anna was trembling now and was practically pushing her core against Elsa's clothed hand to aid in the steady pace that was slowly getting her closer to her peak. She whined again, the sound needy. "G-giving me pleasure a- and for trusting me enough to…" She flushed and went quiet.

"To what?" she whispered very gently. She had exchanged her sexy voice for a calming one now, and she retrieved her other hand to begin rubbing up and down Anna's lower back. "Go on."

"To do this with you… for trusting me to not make a total ass of myself." Anna's eyes misted over as she added, "I love you so much, Elsa."

"I…" If she said it while they were doing this, it was all over. No more pretending. But Anna had already offered it up; she had been the brave one. She always was.

"I love you, too, Anna." She leaned up to give her a peck on the cheek. "And you can make an ass of yourself in front of me. Don't worry about that."

Then Anna tugged Elsa in for a kiss in response, embracing her tightly despite the water making their skin slide slightly. There were tears in her eyes but the sounds she made against Elsa's lips were more happy than distraught.

Elsa threw herself against the lips in response, grinding the washcloth even harder as her other hand gripped Anna's firm little behind, holding her in place to rub her sensitive sex that much more thoroughly. Anna's grip on Elsa's shoulders suddenly tightened and her legs trapped Elsa's hand between them as a cry that was much longer and louder than the rest erupted from her throat. Her entire body went rigid briefly before it slackened completely and Anna collapsed bonelessly into their hug with a small moan.

The difference was something Elsa noticed, but didn't quite understand. She must have really been liking this if she went limp like that! Abandoning all pretense of disliking what they were doing, or not knowing what it was, Elsa dropped the rag… and traced her fingers over Anna's folds.

"Is this really alright?" she whispered numbly as she felt how wet Anna was, either from the soap or from her own natural enjoyment.

"E-Els-" Anna's moan cut her off and though her legs trembled slightly, she managed to straighten herself out again, though speaking seemed to be difficult if her hard breathing was any indication. That made the elder sister lean over to one side, trying to catch her eyes.

"Yes? Is… did you not want me to touch you without the rag?" she suddenly breathed, starting to pull her hand away.

"No!" Anna bit her lip and squirmed slightly. "I-it feels good… really good… please don't stop?"

A little relieved, Elsa pushed her fingers back into her sister. Of course, it was still a very strange thing to be doing for her; she knew people did this all the time, they fondled and touched, played with their bodies. Maybe not with a sibling, but that happened on very rare occasion, too. So why did she think it was so bizarre? Why couldn't she take to it the way Anna was taking to it?

Meanwhile, Anna mewled, thrusting her hips against Elsa's fingers and staring at her sister with glazed, devoted eyes. "You're doing s-so well, Elsa… making me come a- a second time," she breathed.

"A second ti- OH. Oh, was that your… did you orgasm a second ago?!" she demanded in sheer disbelief.

The redhead blinked slowly at her. "Yes," she murmured before nuzzling her nose into Elsa's collar bone. She whimpered as Elsa's finger accidently grazed her clit. "Usually when someone… fingers me, I have one of those… and now I'm a million times more sensitive down there."

Sensitive… that sparked something in Elsa's memory. Part of her really wanted to let Anna go, to give her time to recover; she had heard that orgasms really took a lot out of people. But on the other hand…

"So you're saying… you want to feel more? That this isn't too much?"

Anna seemed to contemplate her answer. "I really do want more, b-because this feels incredible… it's basically at this point where it feels like it's too much, but it isn't?" She frowned a little. "Like a small part of me w-wants you to stop because the sensation is so intense, but mostly I still really want this despite that..."

"Hmm… in that case…" Her stomach flip-flopped and her heart was pounding in her throat, but Elsa knew she wanted to try it. Even as scared of what she would feel when she did it as she was, the urge to try more things with Anna was too great. As great as it was for Anna.

Bracing for the worst, Elsa held her hand still as she slid her free hand downward until her finger was edging toward Anna's other opening.

Anna looked at Elsa, confused. "W-Why did you stop?"

"Because… w-well, I'm wondering if you would prefer…"

Then her fingertip pushed into the slick, puckered skin. Anna yelped, her butt clenching unconsciously at the unexpected intrusion. "T-That feels weird!" she blurted before blushing and adding, "Not in a bad way but… Gosh, that's new."

Not only was it new, but it was tight. Even with the lingering amount of soap on her finger and on the area, it seemed to refuse to open up for her. But the rigidness and the sounds Anna was making was inspiring a fluttering in Elsa's stomach that she couldn't deny was exciting.

"Ooooh," Anna purred as Elsa nudged inward, "w-who knew this would feel soooo good?" She nuzzled Elsa again. "Deeper."

"Deeper?" She could hardly believe her ears! But the way the soft skin and strong muscles only opened up a tiny bit at a time was somehow fascinating… and Anna's reactions even moreso. Against all her expectations, she was really enjoying doing this for her precious sister.

As she continued to push inward, wiggling her fingertip just enough so that Anna would feel it, her other hand began to move again. To tease the deliciously fragile lips that she was learning to love.

Anna sobbed against Elsa's neck at the combined pleasure, the only thing keeping Anna grounded and standing. "I love you, Elsa, I love you!" She started a small mantra as Elsa continued to pleasure her, the poor thing looking overwhelmed.

There was definitely a tingling between Elsa's legs now. Hearing Anna moan, feeling the reasons for her moaning… it was doing things to her that she never expected before. She wanted to get a better look at what she was doing, even while she dreaded what it would look like. How could she do this with her sister? Touch her sensitive flower, pleasure it? How could she stomach slowly working a finger into the most taboo place imaginable?!

Anna hummed and kissed Elsa's throat, breathing getting harder again in what Elsa figured was a sign that she was getting close to orgasm again. Her own heart beat faster at the prospect of being the one responsible for that happening, but she couldn't stop now; even if it was a mistake.

"Are… you close again?" she breathed. Needing to know.

"Yes," the redhead whispered. "S-So close… you're doing wonderfully, Elsa!"

For whatever reason, that brought more heat to her cheeks. The complement, being told that not only was she pleasuring her own sister, but she was pleasuring her well. A smile touched the corners of her mouth as she ramped up the speed.

"I do… have questions. Um, I thought I was supposed to… well, something should go… inside…" Swallowing against the lump that formed from hearing how awkward she sounded, she pressed ahead. "You seem to be alright with what's happening now. Is that okay?"

At that, Anna looked a little hesitant despite her arousal and glanced down at Elsa's long, slender digits with a mixture of awe and nervousness. "Um yeah, sure if you r-really want to try it." She smiled. Elsa nodded and hesitantly tried working her middle finger in past the fragile lips. "A little more gently, please?" She flinched slightly before reaching down and parting her own lips carefully to help Elsa maneuver a little easier. The soft skin was glistening and Anna moaned when a few droplets from the shower trailed over the exposed opening. "Is this helping?"

"My God…" Immediately, Elsa felt bad for blaspheming, but she couldn't quite focus on that from feeling fragile inner walls surrounding her finger. "Y-you're so… hot, and wet inside…"

Anna squeezed playfully, giggling softly. "You feel really good in there." She blushed and suddenly looked a little self-conscious. "I-Is this okay?"

But Elsa was still a little shocked. "Y-you squeezed my finger! How'd you do that?" Excited by this new discovery, she slid the finger the rest of the way inside. "Do it again!"

Anna did so, smiling at Elsa warmly, "You like that?"

"Mmmhh," Elsa found herself groaning at the feeling. It was so strange… and so enticing. "Yes, I… think so. Do you like what I'm doing? Is it alright?"

"Mhmmm," Anna hummed and tilted her head back, looking like she was enjoying herself even though she no longer looked as ready to release as she did before. "Feels wonderful."

Another hesitant smile. Elsa kissed Anna's cheek, then her neck, holding both of her hands still and letting Anna flex against them. She noticed when Anna tried to squeeze the one finger, the other fingertip also felt it; all those muscles down there seemed to be at least partially connected.

"D-do you want me to start moving again?" she whispered against the skin just behind Anna's ear.

"Hmm yes," Anna moaned softly back and reached out to hold Elsa closer. "Gosh Elsa, you're so good to me, it feels amazing."

A little thrill of glee shot through Elsa's stomach. Trying not to laugh, she whispered, "Alright." Then… she began to wiggle the finger in Anna's rear.

"Ah!" Anna latched her mouth to Elsa's neck to stifle any more cries, sucking on the skin as Elsa kept moving her fingers. She didn't retract the one from Anna's moist sex, but mainly kept goading the other orifice, completely captivated by her sister's reactions. It didn't take long for Anna to continue with the subtle thrusts and whines now that they were no longer playing and she practically let out a muffled squeal when Elsa pushed in at her deepest yet.

"Wow," Elsa breathed, feeling her finger actually beginning to slip inside the tiniest bit. "I've… w-well, heard people say 'fuck my ass', b-but I always presumed it was just… a crude phrase, not something that r-really…"

Anna managed to part from Elsa's neck, ignoring the bright red mark she left behind. "It's really new to me but it feels almost as good as your finger in my lips..."

As she found she was able to push deeper, Elsa asked, "Isn't this something gay men do? Is… it weird that I'm doing it?" Her curiosity was burning, and she couldn't seem to stop herself asking these questions.

"Women do this stuff, too," Anna pointed out, "Not as often as gay men do, I guess; I wouldn't know 'cause I'm… n-not one of them. But women can… enjoy it."

"And it's so tight," Elsa breathed as it slid past the gripping ring of muscle. Licking her lips, she leaned in to kiss Anna's cheek again. "You have an amazing body, Moondrop. Just look what it can do..."

Her sister shivered at her words and pressed her face into Elsa's collar. "I'm nothing special… but you, Snowflake… you are incredible."

When she felt the face against her chest again, combined with Anna's words, she wanted to embrace Anna as tightly as she could. Unfortunately, both of her hands were quite busy. Therefore, she merely began to push her finger back and forth as her other hand began to move again. Anna hissed and her body clenched tightly around the finger instinctively, the younger girl looking lost in the sensations. Elsa still couldn't believe she was doing this, either the separate actions or everything together, but she had to admit… it was definitely stimulating to both of them.

"My beautiful Anna," she encouraged as she sped up both motions. "So sweet…"

Anna peered up at her, locking eyes with Elsa's before throwing her head back and moaning loudly again, the wetness between her legs increasing drastically. This time, Elsa could feel the muscles clamping down on her finger over and over, as if never wanting to let her go. Finished. She slumped for a second time, leaning heavily against Elsa as she panted for breath.

"N-no more," she whimpered.

"O-oh, okay," Elsa said as she withdrew easily from Anna's wet sex, feeling a little regretful. However, when she tried to pull out of the other opening… "W-what- Anna, my finger's stuck!"

That perked Anna up. She stared at her sister in disbelief, "It's stuck?!" She bit her lip and Elsa felt as she tried to relax her muscles. The finger still in her butt must've been sending little jolts of pleasure though because Anna would let out a soft noise with every tug.

"God, you really are into this," Elsa breathed in disbelief, her cheeks heating up even more — as if that were possible. "Turn around a little? Maybe if I… get a better look." Suddenly, she felt impelled to add, "N-not because I want to see! Of course, I'm a little curious what this looks like, sure, but it's- I'm not- I want to try to pull it out without hurting you, that's all!"

"If you were feeling what I'm feeling, you would totally understand why I'm int- ah!" She pouted and an embarrassed flush came to her cheeks as she huffed, "Your finger keeps stroking my… I dunno, my inner wall and it feels good!"

Elsa paused to goggle at her in disbelief, her own cheeks every bit as red as Anna's. "Even after you had two orgasms?! Isn't that supposed to be… you know, the end of it?"

"Just because you orgasm doesn't mean you stop feeling it!" Anna turned as red as her hair. "Think of it like eating chocolate. Even when you - nnhh! - hit that point where you know you can't eat it anymore, if you were to take another bite, it would still be as delicious as always, b-but the downside is it starts to hurt a little from being too full."

"Oh no!" Elsa breathed in surprise. "This is hurting you now? Alright, I'll- hang on."

Kneeling down behind Anna, Elsa reached up with her other hand to brush her own hair out of her face. Only afterward did she remember what was on that hand but it didn't matter; in the moment, she just wanted to make her sister less uncomfortable.

Anna whined loudly. "God, Elsa, just pull out, please!"

"I'm trying!" Then she used her other hand to gently spread Anna's cheeks…

And she felt herself get that much hotter. From that angle, she could see it all; she wasn't sure if it was just the view, or knowing who it belonged to, or the lingering little grunts of half-pleasure, half-discomfort coming from above… but against all her expectations, Elsa liked what she saw. Quite a bit.

"O-okay," she mumbled distractedly. "I'm… c-can you push while I pull? Oh my God, I can't believe I'm saying these things!"

"Is this why people use lube for that area?" she grumbled, then let out a soft sigh before bracing herself. "So they don't… get stuck like this!"

"What's 'lube'?"

Anna choked. "W-What? Seriously?" She bit her lip. "You know what, I'll explain once we get out of the shower and are cuddling on the bed; let's just focus on this first."

Shaking off the information for the moment, Elsa braced herself. "Alright, on three. Ready? One, two… three!" And then she pulled, watching as her finger slowly emerged from the taut skin.

The noise Anna made was one of both relief and loss, the opening clenching and unclenching slightly as it got used to being empty again. Elsa found herself mesmerised… she'd never really looked at one of those before. Shouldn't she be disgusted? That hole didn't exactly have a very noble purpose. On the other hand, it was recently cleaned, and the way the muscles were contracting the skin… it did strange things to her.

"O-Okay," Anna finally panted. "Why don't you… get out for now while I finish myself off?"

"While y- AGAIN?!" But when she saw Anna roll her eyes, she raised the finger and said, "You… mean washing. Right. Let me just, um…"

So Elsa hurriedly used one of the rags to wash her hands as thoroughly as she could before she exited the shower. Really, she didn't think she could handle any more "cleaning" in one night; already, she felt like she was going to explode. And the whole time she towelled off, one question kept running through her mind:

'Did that really just happen?'

Her eyes shot open, only to reveal that her pillow was, in fact, Elsa's chest. Her face flared up violently at the realization that she had been nuzzling her face into those boobs, perhaps all night. Not that Elsa seemed to care; she only squirmed and reached up to rest a hand against Anna's back, still more or less asleep.

It took a few minutes for Anna's heart rate to slow and her face to stop burning but once it did, Anna felt a fluttering in her chest. A grin formed the longer she watched her sister sleep until she could no longer keep to herself. She lay a soft kiss on the soft skin beside her face before kissing up until she had her mouth over Elsa's pulse, sucking softly on it.

"Hmmhhh…" The sound flowed out of her sister, and she cleared her throat slightly as her mouth dropped open. "Oooh…"

Anna giggled and sighed contentedly before snuggling into Elsa. "Turn off your phone," she murmured against her neck. "I want to sleep with you longer but I can't with that noise."

"Hmh? Oh… OH."

Then Elsa pushed back from Anna a little, staring down in shock at her sister with wide blue eyes. "A-Anna, what- why am I naked? Did… what did we do last night?"

The redhead's pleasant mood turned to slight worry and she bit her lip, unsure of how to answer. Did Elsa really not remember? The very thought of her sister remembering, only to regret everything they did last night, made Anna's heart sink into her stomach but she hid her unease behind a smile. "We showered, remember?" she prodded gently, not wanting to reveal too much right away.

"Right, we…" Then she gulped, pushing a hand into her face. "We did a lot more than shower… oh, Anna, I'm sorry — are you alright?"

"I-I'm fine," Anna reassured Elsa. "A little sore, but that's normal… a-are you okay?"

"Yeah… I guess I am. I mean, I'm not sure that should have happened, but…" After a moment, her lips twitched into a slight smile. "But it was pretty wonderful."

Anna beamed, her mood soaring again until she couldn't help but litter Elsa's face in kisses. "It really was wonderful," she cooed. Her adoration for her elder sister and the happiness left over from the night before made Anna feel like she was on cloud nine. "Are you… sore at all?"

"W-well, I don't… OOH!" she groaned, screwing her eyes closed when she tried to sit up. "Okay, it's not that bad; I… was just surprised!"

"Sorry, I'm usually a little sore for awhile after the act, too." Anna giggled softly as she reached out and hugged Elsa tightly. Elsa hugged back, nestling in against her after a little sigh. Everything felt right in Anna's world with Elsa like this and Anna felt herself starting to drift into a content, comfortable state, humming as she ran her fingers through Elsa's hair and carefully undid any tangles she found. She didn't want to move despite the voice in her brain nagging her to get up and work.

"I can't believe we did that," Elsa repeated herself, though she sounded less terrified by it now. "It's… I mean, I suppose looking back, we were heading in this direction, but it's still… I didn't expect to go from a few kisses to full-on sex so fast!"

The redhead nodded in agreement. "Yeah… but then life and love is unexpected like that," she laughed softly and kissed the crown of Elsa's head. Elsa was fully blushing already, as shy and inexperienced as ever despite all they tried the night before. It was adorable. "Fun though, right?"

"It was," she had to confess. "We… should try that again. Maybe not right away! But… yeah."

"I'd like that," Anna cooed and gave Elsa another kiss before yawning. "Hmmm, why can't it be Sunday so we can sleep?"

"Because it's Saturday," Elsa chuckled as she stroked over Anna's back. Really, they were lucky at least one of them was clothed or things could have been worse. "Come on. We don't really have time for a shower now, so luckily we took such a long one last night…"

Anna snickered, "Not that it matters considering we got dirty again." Shamelessly, she took a peek at Elsa's lower region and gave the fine hairs a light pat. "But yeah, at least the rest of us is clean."

"W-we only got dirty in one way," Elsa said with a shaky laugh, automatically twitching her thighs together. "And… and wow, I am still not used to this."

The redhead was reluctant but eventually, she got up off of her sister and started walking towards her own bed to start getting ready for the day. She glanced at Elsa, noting the way her bare body seemed to gleam in the pale sunlight streaming through the thin cracks in the blinds and she tried valiantly to ignore the arousal pooling in her belly again.

As she stooped to pull her underwear up past her ankles, she caught Anna watching her and smiled a slightly-bashful smile. "Shameless."

"Only where you are concerned," Anna teased with a grin, beginning to strip out of her sleepwear and stretching once it was off, her muscles aching in both pleasure and protest. "And you really can't blame me, either."

"No, I can't," Elsa breathed, having stopped after finishing the action to gaze at Anna. Seemed it was her turn. Anna let out a relieved sigh and shook her limbs free of the tingling numbness before pulling on a pair of panties and her bra. "Guess I'm not any better."

Anna chuckled and shifted through her pack for a top and some shorts; the day was supposed to be one of the warmest of the summer so pants or jeans wasn't an option. She pulled out a cute, blue blouse made of a light, flowy material that hung off her lithe frame in just the right way, a shirt Anna had picked during their shopping trip when she had noticed Elsa's gaze linger on it.

"Think I should wear this today? I think it's just cool enough for this weather."

Nodding appreciatively, Elsa finished with her own undergarments and moved on to pulling on ankle-socks. "You're going to get some of those pubescent boys watching you a little closer with that, you know. And the counselors doing it for other, less-hormonal reasons."

"Think it'll piss off Aurora too much? With my sin-tempting good looks, maybe she'll get mad because she'll find she can't resist me, either." Anna laughed at her own stupid joke before pulling on a pair of shorts, ones just long enough to be appropriate for the camp.

"Maybe, maybe." Next for Elsa was a longer pair of shorts and a polo shirt. "But don't tempt fate too much, Anna; I don't want to make this situation any more difficult on you than it already is."

"For me?" Anna regarded Elsa in concern. "It's you I'm worried about. I can deal with those kind of comments; girls at my school picked on me for being gay loads of times, so I can handle myself."

Shifting a little uncomfortably, Elsa said softly, "It's that, and… and if they drop hints that we're gay, and people start paying too much attention to us, they might figure out that we're… sisters, as well. That worries me just as much."

Approaching her with a gentle smile, Anna lay a soft kiss on Elsa's lips, sweet and reassuring. Playing with a stray strand on Elsa's forehead, she stared into Elsa's glacier blue eyes. "Just know that no matter what happens at this point, we have each other, okay?" She ignored the nervous flutter in her own chest and the worry and stress that came with the thought of such a scenario happening, instead focusing on keeping her sister from overanalyzing and potentially freaking out over the same thing.

Letting out a slow breath, Elsa nodded, as well. "Okay. Yes, you're right." Another deep breath, and she shook out her arms as she did so. "Ready? Oh, wait - we should probably brush our teeth, at least…"

"Yeah, we should. So we don't scare people away with our morning breath. You can take the bathroom first if you want."

"Okay." Hesitating on her way there, she looked back to ask, "Do… I really have morning breath?"

"It's not that bad," Anna said as she waved her hand dismissively. "Mine is worse."

                                                      ~ o ~

Thankfully, there were no real events scheduled on Saturdays. Instead, Anna and Elsa found themselves sitting in the shade of a large oak and watching a couple of kids from each age group play.

"They wear me out," Elsa breathed as they looked on passively. "But they are sweet, aren't they?"

Anna chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, they are a bunch of monsters but at least they're cute monsters." Elsa's weight against her side was comforting and Anna's hand found itself playing with Elsa's braid, her arm around her older sister's shoulders. It was very pleasant and the smile on Anna's face hadn't faded in the slightest since it first formed upon being assigned their group for the day.

"Stop," Elsa playfully whispered, though she was smiling just as much. "We really should be a little more discreet."

"We should." Anna flicked the braid playfully while she quietly flirted, "But It's so hard because I just want to hold you all day."

A low "shhh" issued from Elsa as they watched the children scamper around. After a few minutes, she waited until no one was looking, then left a fleeting peck on Anna's cheek. Anna's cheeks warmed.

"You're even worse than me," she teased. "Admit it, you can't keep to yourself any better than I can!"

"Better than you," Elsa teased right back with a smirk. "But… not by much. Can you-"

"Elsa! Anna!" A cheery voice interrupted Elsa and Anna grunted as a smaller body leaped into her lap and thin arms wrapped themselves tightly around her waist. Dark eyes twinkled merrily up at them and Olaf was grinning toothily from ear to ear. "You did it! You did it!"

Anna's ears turned pink as some of the kids closest to them looked over in confusion. Elsa also seemed to be a little taken aback, glancing between his and Anna's faces.

"W-What did we do Olaf?" Anna questioned the ecstatic boy, trying to keep her voice down so he would hopefully take the hint.

"Miss Elsa and you are glowing! Papa told me only people who are insanely happy with their partners do that! You confessed! You confessed!" The little boy gazed at the two of them adoringly, his expression full of pride. "I knew you guys would eventually!"

"Hush now, Olaf," Elsa warned him, glancing around at the other children with her cheeks starting to pinken. This was pretty obvious, as pale as she was. "Haven't we talked to you about this already?"

Anna took a quick glance and was relieved to notice that the other kids had decided to dismiss what was going on and return to their play. Olaf simply pouted in Elsa's direction. "But Miss Elsa! You guys are cuddling and look so happy!"

"We're very happy," Elsa told him honestly. "Our moods are very good, and we're closer friends now, and we're here at camp with all of you. But that doesn't mean you should keep bringing this up so much; we talked about that. It's very… distracting for the other campers, and could make things difficult for Anna and I. So can't you please try to keep those comments to yourself?"

Olaf frowned. "True love should be shouted from the rooftops!" he protested and Anna let out a sigh. She rested her hand on the little boy's head.

"Yes Olaf," she said patiently. "But at the same time, sometimes people don't like announcing it for everyone to hear. Me and Elsa… we prefer to keep our love quiet, can you respect that for us?"

The boy glanced between Elsa and Anna, looking put out, but he eventually nodded and said a quiet "Okay." Elsa patted him on the shoulder tenderly.

"Thank you. Now go on and play with the others." Once he had scampered off, still shooting a look over his shoulders at them on his way, she sighed and pushed a hand into her forehead. "He's going to be the death of us, I just know it."

"Yeah, probably." Anna watched Olaf as he joined his brother for a game of catch. "He means well though, so I guess we can't be too angry."

Taking Anna's hand between both of her own, she gazed out at them for a little while. "I'm… still a little in shock, to be honest. I think it's helping me be able to simply… be calm about this whole situation, instead of continuing to freak out."

"I'm here to help if it gets too overwhelming," Anna reassured, stroking Elsa's hands with her thumbs. "Do you need to get a drink or anything? Give you an excuse to get away?"

"I'll be fine until we get back to camp." Sighing, she looked off into the trees. "Too bad those divas stuck us with babysitting duty all day… well, other than a few of the other counselors who aren't part of their scheme. I think I saw Rapunzel still in the camp."

"To be fair, this could be much worse. I don't mind watching the scamps over bathroom duty again."

"Oh, agreed," she sighed wearily, rubbing her forehead. But after a moment or two, she began to giggle. Anna bumped her head against Elsa's playfully, glad to see her sister's mood improve slightly.

"Got you to smile, at least."

"No, it's just… well, after what happened the last time we cleaned the bathroom, I would almost think you'd want to do it again."

"I'd rather we 'did it' when we didn't smell like disinfectant and bathroom spray," Anna laughed. "There is only so much sexy that can happen in a dirty bathroom like that one."

"Not in the bathroom; getting cleaned up afterward. But you're not wrong." She leaned in, as if to kiss Anna, but remembered to stop herself at the last moment. "This, um, is going to take some getting used to!"

Anna leaned in to gave Elsa a sisterly peck on the cheek, chaste enough to be mistaken for a friendly gesture just in case some of the kids saw them. "It gets easier, trust me." She grinned. "We're in the honeymoon phase. Just you wait until we can't stand each other anymore." Despite the joke, Anna's stomach twisted at the thought of Elsa and her arguing.

"I don't think that could ever happen now." When Anna didn't respond right away, she leaned over to hug her tightly to her side. "Honestly, it was only our mother's poisoning lies that kept us apart before now. Remember what we were like before that?"

"We were always so close." Anna returned the side-hug by placing her arm around Elsa's shoulders. "Mom and Dad had to fight really hard to get us to separate for more than ten minutes because we would both argue like crazy with them about it."

"Exactly," she sighed pleasantly. "All our other little bickerings were about nothing, and they didn't take long for us to resolve. So… so I think we're going to be just fine, if we can survive camp."

"You're right." Anna snuggled and closed her eyes. "When we part ways next week, we won't shut each other out. We'll keep in contact from now until we are together again…"

Anna didn't want to voice the worry that gnawed in the back of her mind. How she wondered if Elsa would reject her during their inevitable separation. If their mother's influence would scare Elsa back into shunning the closeness and the love they were sharing now. Would they reunite, only for Elsa to call it off? Say how wrong this was and… would she express disgust, an intent to sever all contact again?

Maybe that was foolish after all they had been through, but the thought terrified her. So she tried to focus on the encouraging way Elsa was smiling at her, squeezing her hand. Only time would tell.

"The only thing that could have made this worse," Elsa groaned as she ran the mophead over the floors. She was making quick, efficient work of it, showing that she had learned all too well how to do "latrine duty" over her years working for the camp.

It took them both an additional thirty minutes to finally get the washrooms cleaned and Anna's arms and back ached as she stretched, trying to get the stiffness out of her limbs. "Well that was productive," she muttered, wincing as she brought her arms back down to her side. "But I could really use a shower right now."

"Yes," Elsa groaned as she put up the last few cleaning supplies. "I think they'll understand if we go do that now, don't you?"

Anna smiled at her sister before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Let's get back to the cabin and gather up our things then." She wanted to take Elsa's hand but thought better of it, especially since they were on thin ice already. So instead, she just started walking.

The minute they got back into the cabin, the elder sister leaned back against the door then heaved a loud breath of relief. "UGH. Thought that would never be over."

"At least it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I mean, those toilets could've been way worse!" Anna laughed, "If that's the worst of what they ask us to do, it won't be so bad."

"Don't jinx us. You have no idea what Aurora is capable of when she decides it's important." Running her hands down her face, she crossed to sit on the trunk at the foot of her bed. Elsa didn't seem too exhausted, but she did look tired and a bit weary of having to do work. "You can shower first, if you want; I'll just sit here and ache."

Now was her chance. Anna shuffled on her feet and worked up the courage to ask, "About that… would you maybe want to shower with me? That way we both get to use the hot water without worrying about using too much and… I could help you relax? I mean, you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours, right?"

The proposal seemed to catch the blonde off guard. "Shower… together?" Her cheeks took on a pink tinge as she sat up a little straighter, all the fatigue in her posture mysteriously absent now. "I… wow. I mean, it shouldn't be that weird; we've bathed together before. Just because it's been a decade or two…"

Anna's smile grew a little more hopeful. "So...yes?"

"I…" Clearing her throat, she let out a breathy little laugh as she distracted herself by peeling off her hiking boots. "Th-that does make sense from an economical standpoint. Using up less water, and… and washing each other…"

But the blush was only getting worse. Anna noticed the deepening pink that was gracing Elsa's cheeks and felt her own cheeks grow hot. "I-uh- I promise I won't… do anything that might make you uncomfortable."

Nodding, Elsa smiled up at her. "I know you won't. Um… can you lock the cabin door? This… I don't want anyone to walk in and, um, get the wrong idea."

Anna beamed and nodded eagerly, darting towards the door like an excited puppy and fumbling briefly with the lock. After the satisfying click sounded, she went to her bag and started digging for her shower supplies while trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach. Elsa did the same on the other side of the room. She had already taken off her boots and socks, and was now grabbing up a towel. After the first week, she had stopped carrying her soap and shampoo in and out of the bathroom; Anna assumed she had decided to trust her sister.

Then she stopped awkwardly in the middle of the room. "Um… so how do we do the next part?"

"We get in the shower?" Anna started to take out her braids, running her fingers through the fiery strands to smooth them out briefly before starting to work on her belt. "Well… we, um… gotta take our clothes off first." She blushed deeply.

"Yes, I know," Elsa chuckled, still shy but somewhat put at ease by Anna's humour. "I meant, um… should I go in, and you follow? Or does it matter? I don't know." But she did start to undo her own belt, following Anna's lead for the moment.

"I don't think it matters. I mean..." Here Anna placed a hand on Elsa's shoulder while the other advanced to undoing the buttons and fly of her jeans. The touch sent a jolt of excitement through Anna's spine. "It's nothing we haven't seen before, right?"

The hand on her shoulder made Elsa fumble the buttons, and she laughed nervously. "O-of course. I'm… yes, you're right. We've taken hundreds of baths together." As she began to slide her shorts down, cheeks getting pinker, she added, "Of course… it's been a dozen years… probably more…"

Anna kept her eyes firmly above Elsa's waist, trying desperately hard not to think about the shapely legs that seemed to go on for miles as she proceeded to take off her own pants. She drew back her hand and shed her shirt, tossing it towards her bed before strutting, in a show of confidence she barely felt, towards the bathroom in just her underwear and bra.

"Let's do this, sis!"

Watching Anna strut helped as much as it hindered. Elsa seemed to stumble on her way in there, but at least she was moving. Once inside, she also reached back to unclasp her bra, then hesitated.

"Here…" Turning, she instead reached to unhook Anna's for her.

The first delicate touch of Elsa's fingers against the bare flesh of her back almost shocked a groan out of the redhead, a sound she managed to choke down with a cough. Then the smooth digits played with the hooks holding her bra together and the redhead's breath hitched.

"T-Thanks," she breathed as the simple green fabric fell away, exposing her modest breasts and embarrassingly stiff nipples to the world. Anna was just grateful that Elsa was at her back. "Do you… need help with yours?"

"Yes, if you could." Without waiting for Anna, possibly because she wasn't quite ready to see said stiff nipples, Elsa turned her back, as well. Unfortunately for her… she was now facing the mirror. Which meant they both would be.

Anna took a deep breath before turning around, eyes immediately drawn to the mirror and how… visible both herself and Elsa was. Her sister looked vulnerable...and Anna gave her bare shoulder a gentle pat while ignoring the view staring back at her. "I-If you don't want to do this, I understand."

"No, no, go on," she encouraged her sister. This would be a real test; if they were only caught up in the weirdness of being back in each other's lives, then being naked together would probably not matter. As Elsa had said, they had bathed together plenty of times when they were little!

But if they were falling for each other… then it was going to be something else entirely.

Anna nodded and her gaze lowered to the flawless back, briefly enchanted by the muscles playing at the point where her shoulder blades were. A quick shake of the head later and Anna was soon fiddling with the pale blue bra intently, her fingertips lightly brushing over the smooth skin that felt wonderfully soft.

'God, she's so beautiful.' Anna smiled to herself at the thought. Elsa shivered a little from the hands on her back, but otherwise remained still. It didn't take long for Anna to get the bra detached and the second it did, she turned her back.

"You're free now," she said jokingly.

Elsa was quiet for a moment as Anna got the water started. Then there came the sound of her underwear being slid down and off. A few more noises of things being readied near the sink, towels being laid out and such. Then a surprising question came.

"I could… take your bottoms off," Elsa half-whispered. "While your hands are busy. If it's not too weird."

Anna's inhale was as sharp as the stab of heat that shot down her whole body. She shivered and risked looking over her shoulder. "Sure."

So Elsa did just that. Her hands were clearly shaking when she hooked them over the waistband, and there was a pause. Then they began to pull them all the way down to the bathroom floor, and held them still while Anna stepped out of them.

"D-done," she said needlessly, a little cough at the end.

"T-Thanks." Anna coughed herself and, to distract herself, she stuck her hand in the water to test the temperature. Ignoring the intense burning, both externally and internally, she turned to Elsa and gave a shy smile. "Water's ready… if you want to get in first."

But Elsa's eyes were closed. They probably had been from the moment she began removing Anna's panties; only after Anna spoke did she crack an eye open, pointed right at her face.

"Alright. Um…" Flashing a nervous little smile, she walked to the other side of the shower curtain and stepped through. Seconds later-

"A-ah, it's too hot!"

"Wha?" Anna looked at her sister like she was a madwoman. "It's like… a few degrees above cold!"

"Oh…" There was a pause, a couple splashes of her feet. "I guess you're right! S-sorry, I'm… distracted."

"It's okay." Thankfully, Elsa's bizarre statement was enough to break the awkward tension and Anna giggled merrily, finding it far easier to get into the shower after Elsa without her mind wandering. She licked her lips. "So… shall I wash you first or….?"

But the minute Anna stepped in, Elsa's slightly-ashamed smile vanished, and she looked away. Both of their entire bodies were on display. Her eyes flicked down at her own, then very briefly over at Anna's before she pulled her eyes up. More like she was fighting temptation than out of a genuine desire not to look.

"Sure. If that's alright."

Then she cleared her throat and stepped further into the stream of water, getting her skin and hair wet in preparation for being soaped up. Anna grabbed the shampoo first, dampening her hand before working the soap into a fine lather. She eyed the long waves of platinum and her fingers tingled with the desire to run through it. She smiled reassuringly and stepped close.

"I'm going to work on your hair first, is that okay?"

"Yes," Elsa said with a clearly-relieved sigh. Then she glanced behind her with an awkward little smile. "Oh, I… well, it's always b-best to…" Shrugging, she finally admitted, "I'm nervous. So yeah, starting with hair is good."

Anna nodded and gently started to massage the shampoo into Elsa's scalp. She spent extra time simply working the rich lather into the area, hoping the motion would help put Elsa at ease and soothe the tension in her body, before moving on to the rest of Elsa's hair. The redhead marvelled at how silky Elsa's hair was and how easily her fingers were able to glide through it, very unlike her own unruly hair. Anna was certain she would be able to do this for hours without getting the slightest bit tired of it.

"I love your hair," she commented, unable to keep the words to herself. "I almost forgot how nice it is to play with."

A long, pleasant hum was given to her in return. A few seconds more lathering later, she said, "This really is nice. Thank you, Anna."

"No problem," Anna answered, still completely focused on her task. Once the hair was thoroughly soaped up, Anna grabbed a washcloth and poured a liberal amount of Elsa's body wash onto it. "While the shampoo sits for a bit, I'm going to start washing the rest of you… uh… so if I go anywhere that you aren't comfortable with me washing, let me know, okay?""

Elsa's breath did hitch at that, but she didn't turn or tell Anna she wasn't ready. Instead, all she did was whisper, "I will, if I am. I… I promise. Um… let me know if you need me to move."

"Okay." Anna gave Elsa's bare shoulder a quick peck, ignoring the strong taste of the excess shampoo before slowly starting to work on Elsa's upper back, shoulders and neck. Like with her hair, Anna took her time at each spot, massaging the muscles and making sure every inch was clean and at ease before moving on to the next. Elsa sighed all the while, reaching back to help move her hair for her. Anna hummed softly as she worked, keeping her gaze firmly above the waist until the entirety of Elsa's back was finished. She swallowed thickly.

"Do you want me to keep going or do you want me to do the front?"

"Um…" That really did seem to give Elsa pause. "Well, I… guess you can keep going. Finish my b-back." It sounded like she was going to try saying "butt" but chickened out.

"You sure?" Anna asked and at the answering nod, Anna had to force herself to keep calm in fear that her heart would jump out of her chest. She looked down at the unbelievable perfection that was Elsa's bare rear and took a deep breath before kneeling down on the cool tile.

To keep her sanity, Anna instead chose to work on Elsa's legs first; keeping clear of the mound between them and instead only risking cleaning up to the high middle of those mouthwatering thighs. Ones that Anna couldn't help but picture gripping her head as she-

Anna promptly slapped her hands, one of which still gripping the soapy cloth, to her red, hot face then yelped in agony at the burning that occurred in her eyes as a result.

"Anna?!" Elsa said almost immediately, turning to look down at her. She knelt down next to her sister when she noticed she was in pain. "What happened, are you alright?"

"J-Just soap in my eyes, that's all," she whimpered and rubbed one of the offending orbs with her wrist, opening it just enough to catch sight of pale hair next to her face before slamming it shut again. "I'm fine, you can turn back around so I can finish!" she said in a rush of breath.

There was a whispered "Oh…" followed by more splashes of steps. After a few seconds, Elsa announced, "I'm turned back around now. It's… but you don't have to help if you're having trouble with this, Anna."

"It's fine, it's just soap." Anna finally risked opening her eyes again, thankful that the pain had dulled significantly and that Anna was now looking at gorgeous legs rather than a neatly trimmed bush that Anna thought was absolutely adorable. Whoops! With a quick shake to forcibly eject any more naughty thoughts, Anna continued her cleaning quest, finishing off her legs before moving up.

Anna hesitated only briefly before starting to wash Elsa's shapely posterior, very gently gliding the cloth over the sensitive areas and making sure to clean the harder to reach spots thoroughly, ignoring any sounds that Elsa made as she did so. It didn't take long for her to finish, standing on shaking legs that was only partially due to the painful pins and needles.

"Your backside is clean."

"I assume it has to be, the way you were polishing it!" Elsa gasped out shakily, though she added a little laugh to show that she was alright. Then she turned, and began to rinse off the soap from both hair and back, eyes closed in bliss. Only the occasional shivering showed that she was a little nervous about Anna getting a good look at the front of her body.

Which was just as lovely as the rest of her. Anna took the time to soak it in as she rinsed then reapplied soap to the washcloth, trying to decide where best to start. Deciding to start from the neck up again, Anna stepped closer and settled the cloth at her throat, feeling the light thud of Elsa's pulse beneath her fingers as she started to clean. "How are you feeling?"

At that point, one of Elsa's eyes slitted open and she flashed Anna a smile. "Good." More caresses, and she let the eye close again, still pushing the shampoo back from her forehead and along her scalp. "Really. You're… doing a great job."

"Good." Anna slipped her hands down Elsa's shoulders, taking care of the various dips of her collarbone before reaching the curve of her breasts. The redhead leaned forward and gave Elsa's neck a small nuzzle before starting on the soft mounds.

And that was when things changed. Not a lot, but they began to, just a tiny bit. The noise that came from Elsa couldn't be dismissed as one that was completely free of sensuality, and she leaned her head away from Anna to give her mouth better access to her neck as the cloth smoothed over her chest. The redhead could feel the pulse increase as she continued and she gave the skin a soft kiss, closing her eyes and just enjoying the closeness of their bodies and the feel of Elsa's breasts and chest under her hands. It took Anna several minutes to reluctantly pull away.

"Are you still ticklish?"

"You know that," she snorted softly, not at all flustered by the question. Then her face got a little more serious, even while she was still smiling across at her sister. "We are… in a bathtub, if… you w-wanted to tickle me again."

"I was just teasing!" Anna blushed wildly at the bold statement, "I- I mean, if you d-don't mind, I guess, b-but isn't the point of this to… get clean? N-Not that it's 'dirty' in that way, b-but-"

One of Elsa's fingers cut off Anna's stammering by pushing into her lips. Now Elsa was smiling at her with a strange look in her eyes, and she followed that up by leaning up to leave a small kiss on her forehead.

"We have more soap, Anna. We can do it again." Then she began to crouch down below her very carefully. "But, um, I don't really want to start while standing up and hurt myself. Or you!"

Anna's stomach knotted in a mixture of excitement and anticipation, but she kneeled down next to Elsa despite the slightly tight fit. She shifted closer, her fingers twitching. "O-Okay."

Licking her lips, Elsa flashed an awkward smile up at Anna. "I, um… I have been thinking about asking for this, but it seemed like such a… is it perverted? I mean, is it if it's not actually sexual? I'm really…" A little shaky laugh of anticipation as the hand inched closer. "I must be pretty strange to be looking forward to this!"

Anna gave Elsa's cheek a kiss and gave her an equal smile back. "It's okay, e-everyone has that one weird guilty pleasure." She leaned forward and rested her fingers against Elsa's ribs, rubbing the skin in a lazy circle to build anticipation, before whispering in Elsa's ear, "Ready?"

"Hah!" she burst out, even though nothing had really happened yet. But then she nodded.

Anna lunged, ruthlessly attacking every inch of skin she could reach. A grin easily overtook her face as her sister writhed under her hands. "You asked for it!"

Gales of laughter burst from Elsa; at first, a little strained and uncertain, and then higher-pitched shrieks as she thrashed and squirmed under Anna's tickling. Her body rolled first one way, then another, until she was curling toward the shower curtain and twitching, laughing all the while.

The sound of Elsa's laughter was like music to Anna's ears and her grin grew as she let her left hand descend towards her older sister's foot. She remembered this spot being particularly sensitive, seeing as their father used to go for it every time he wanted to make Elsa laugh, and even the slightest brush of her fingertip against the sole of Elsa's foot got Anna a major reaction.

"AH!" she burst out immediately; it seemed nothing had changed. "No, Anna, not my feet, not- AHAHAH OH GOD! It's- Aaaahahahaanna, I think I- HnhAH!"

The way she shivered during her spasms, and the warm splash against Anna's arm, told her that history had repeated itself.

Anna's breath hitched, taken away by how beautiful Elsa was the second time around and the almost overpowering shock of arousal that resulted. She didn't hide the moan that spilled from her lips and she pulled Elsa into a kiss without a second thought. And Elsa positively melted into the kiss, shaking a little from trying to support herself after such an intense, jarring attack to her nervous system.

When they parted a moment later, Elsa was flushed and glassy-eyed. She managed to force herself to whisper, "Did… I get you with my…?"

"You did." Anna laughed breathlessly. "On my arm. Are you okay?"

"I'm…" Shrugging, she looked away with a shy smile. "I feel great, actually. But… silly. And bad for, um, for hitting you with it. I didn't think that part through."

"It's fine, I… kind of enjoyed it. Th-the tickling part, I mean!" Anna blushed deeply but returned Elsa's smile with her own. Placing a soft kiss on Elsa's forehead, Anna stood up and offered her hand to her sister, "Let's finish getting you clean."

Smiling in mingling relief and excitement, Elsa accepted the hand. Then she was standing there, facing her sister for a moment, biting her lip as if fighting down a comment. But it seemed she lost that fight.

"Hey, I could pee on you some more if you want," she whispered in a joking tone. "Just say the word. Or, um… tickle me more, I suppose."

Anna giggled and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind." She grinned and picked up the cloth again, soaping it up and continuing where she left off. She washed off Elsa's stomach and hips and after a brief moment of pause that made her stomach flip, she gave the fine hairs above Elsa's crotch a scrub before pulling away. She debated whether or not to finish the rest of her sister but decided against it, not wanting to risk anything by going too far with all the progress they've been making.

"You can finish up now," she said with a smile.

"Why, thank you," Elsa said with an affected voice, smiling back. She did still look flushed, and had shivered a little when Anna got to the thatch of hair, but otherwise seemed to be doing a bit better after an attack from the Ticklemonster. So she took the washcloth and lowered it between her legs.

But her ease with the situation faded as she cleaned herself there. She let out a quiet moan, then leaned against the wall as she continued.

"Is… it supposed to feel… more sensitive after being tickled?"

Anna coughed. "W-Well yeah? I mean, it always is a bit… sensitive when you pee, isn't it? Not so much because it was… tickled."

But Elsa was too preoccupied to respond right away. Her mouth hung open slightly as she continued to grind the rag into the sensitive area, eyebrows twitching together. As if not sure what to make of the feeling rather than purely enjoying it.

Then she seemed to come back to herself, and blinked up at Anna. "Oh… I'll, um, I'll get on with it." Then she turned to the side so as not to get the rag too wet and took care of the other opening as quickly as she could, again twitching from the sensation.

It was hard to keep still, watching Elsa wash and unwittingly pleasure herself the way she was, however Anna managed to keep her hands to herself despite the ever growing arousal. It was even harder not to encourage Elsa to keep going when she caught herself.

"Um…" Looking around, the blonde smiled awkwardly as she put her washcloth in the corner of the tub and took up another clean one. "You probably don't want to use that after it's been up my butt, do you?"

'I wouldn't mind,' Anna thought but shook her head and simply said, "Maybe not the best idea, yeah. We have other cloths."

"Okay, your turn." Elsa looked between her hands; cloth in one, shampoo bottle in the other. "These don't really go together…" Sparing a sheepish glance at Anna's eyes, she put the washcloth down. "Sorry. This is really, um… distracting? I feel like I keep doing stupid things."

"It's fine, Elsa, really. Just relax and… it's just like if you were cleaning yourself, right?" Anna placed another kiss against Elsa's lips, keeping it quick before drawing back. "Do you want me to turn around or…?"

Still a little rattled by the kiss, Elsa nodded and patted Anna on the hip as they switched positions. Then, as Anna was getting her hair wet, she began to pour the shampoo into her hands. Though cooler than she was used to, the water felt wonderful as it caressed her bare body and Anna closed her eyes to enjoy the sensation before opening them again to smile at her older sister. She turned so that her back was facing Elsa and tilted her head back to give her access to her hair.

"Be gentle, okay?" she teased.

"Of course." Despite Anna not intending it as a serious request, Elsa answered it that way. Then she began to lather the shampoo into Anna's red locks with loving, smooth strokes. "Um… tell me if I pull through a tangle or something, but I'll try not to."

Anna hummed in response and enjoyed the feel of Elsa's hands working over her hair. They made short work of soaping it up, combing through and separating the few knots without pulling on Anna's roots too much or breaking too many strands.

Then Elsa rinsed her hands and took up the clean washcloth. "Okay, ready to be… scrubbed?"

Completely relaxed, Anna nodded. "Yeah, I'm always ready." She stretched out her arms before placing her hands on the shower wall and playfully shaking her butt in Elsa's direction. "Are you ready?"

A little "Mmmm" came from Elsa as she got the cloth soapy, followed by a laugh. "Sure." As she began to scrub between her shoulderblades, she said, "You do have a nice little butt, actually. I mean… I hope it's not weird for me to say that; just making an observation."

The redhead made a happy noise in the back of her throat as Elsa pressed into a sore spot between her shoulders, arching her back slightly in response. "Thanks, you have a great butt, too."

"Really?" she laughed in slight disbelief. "Wow, thank you. Not that this is the first time you've said as much." Then she passed over the spot again and noted Anna wincing. "Something wrong here?"

"Just a small knot, nothing serious."

A small "hmm" came from Elsa, and then she switched the washcloth to the other hand. With tender care, she began to knead the area with her thumb.

Anna hissed loudly and her fists clenched against the wall. "Ohhhh, a little higher!" she whimpered.

"Your wish is my command," Elsa laughed as she moved up, digging into the knot. The other hand began to gently wash Anna's lower back as long as it wasn't needed.

The moan Anna made when the knot finally loosened was one that embarrassed the hell out of the redhead but she couldn't restrain herself, the relief far too great to keep it quiet. "Thank you," she mewled out, slumping slightly against the wall. "God, thank you for that."

"M-my pleasure." Elsa sounded like she meant that. Both of her hands, including the one holding the washcloth, came to rest gently against her sister's hips, her voice closer when she spoke again.

"Anna… this might sound ridiculous to say about a stupid shower, but… I'm having a great time. With you."

Anna smiled lovingly over her shoulder. "Me, too." She pushed herself off the wall so she was leaning against Elsa instead. Her body was slick with cool water but Elsa's warmth easily overpowered the mild chill. "I always have a great time with you, no matter what we're doing."

A quiet humming of pleasure came from behind her. Elsa wasn't just saying that for her sake; she really did like showering with her. The hand not holding the cloth began to smooth up and down Anna's hip and waist in a gentle caress, moving them both just enough so that nipples could be felt bumping along Anna's back.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking," her older sister began, clearly a little nervous but less than they had been before. "About… you and me. Rationally, I know this is… well… that word that rhymes with 'invest'."

Anna closed her eyes, keeping her focus completely on Elsa and her words while simultaneously continuing to enjoy just how… easily they seemed to fit together. Incest. The word left a bad taste in Anna's mouth yet at the same time… How could something like this be wrong? When Anna knew that she loved Elsa more than she loved anyone else in the world, even above her own parents. Even… even above God himself.

But she stayed quiet, letting Elsa finish with only a simple hum to indicate that she was all ears.

"Problem is, I can't seem to be purely rational when it comes to you," she continued as she pulled back away from Anna. At first it seemed like it was out of fear, but then the scrubbing of her back continued; she just needed something else to focus on. "If I forget about us being sisters… I know exactly what my feelings would mean. Not that I've ever felt like this about anyone before, but… it's just too strong to pretend I don't know what my heart wants."

"It's just that you don't know what to do?" Anna tilted her head so that it was resting on Elsa's shoulder, gazing at her sister's face.

"Exactly. It's…" The blue orbs staring down into Anna were a little excited, a little scared, but mostly just focused on the aquamarine ones below. "I got you back in my life, and it's completely different. You're kind of like I remember, except… a new person, and a person that I can't live without anymore. P-plus there's all these weird physical feelings that came from nowhere — what's that about?! I mean, was I already falling for you even before we got separated, or just not… aware of my sexuality? And if I was, is that why I've never been that interested in boys, or am I some huge lesbian? There's just… so many… questions."

"Questions we will figure out together." Anna smiled reassuringly at her sister, heart overflowing with love and adoration. She lifted a hand to stroke Elsa's cheek, ignoring the slight pain caused by the awkward angle. "We'll figure this out, Elsa. I promise."

Forgetting about the rag for the moment, Elsa reached up to brush over Anna's neck. Her mouth squirmed for a moment. "Why do you have to feel so good?"

Anna wanted to say something clever… something that would make Elsa laugh. However, in the end she simply fluttered her eyes closed and pressed her lips against Elsa's instead, heart pounding and feeling like she might faint dead away from bliss.
