A/N: Super sorry for how long this took elsasolqueens working on the others one also!

Prompt 19:Come home with me.

It was during a harsh winter day when Elsa noticed the girl sitting on the street against the wall of some abandoned building. She wasn’t sure how long she’d been there, or why the lonely girl stayed outside while the winter winds grew fierce and colder.

Entering her typical coffee shop she ordered two hot chocolates, and a sandwich. Back outside, she pulled the collar of her coat up, the cold didn’t really faze her much, but the wind was just becoming a nuisance. Walking across the street to where the girl sat, Elsa nudged her leg, arousing the girl awake. Fearful teal eyes met hers. Wild, unkempt red locks could be seen under her hood. Dirt covered her face. The longer Elsa stood there looking at her tattered clothes the worse she felt.

The girl backed up, trying to find more purchase against the wall. Anna was scared that the stranger was going to try to take her back to a place she never wanted to return. “W-What do you want from me?” her voice hoarse.

Elsa knelt down and gently held out the items. “Here,” she offered, “you looked hungry.”

With shaky hands Anna reached out taking the cup feeling warmth flooding through the Styrofoam and chased the cold away for a brief shining moment. Next, she grabbed the plastic wrapped sandwich. Looking up and staring at the nice blonde woman, gently Anna managed a small thank you.

“You’re welcome.” Elsa walked away, taking a sip of her own, but she still felt bad she couldn’t help anymore.

During her lunch break the office was a buzz about a rumored snow storm coming. The kind where no one should even be outside. Elsa’s thoughts wandered to the homeless girl, and worry shadowed her expression. Without a second to lose Elsa rushed out of the office and headed for the street, where she hoped the girl was still there.

Arriving in the area, she heaved a sigh of relief finding the girl still there. “Hopefully, she’s alright.” Approaching, Elsa smiled seeing the empty cup and wrapping siting by the trash can. Her frowned returned through as she could see the girl shivering violently, and could almost hear her teeth chattering. The temperature was indeed dropping, and Elsa didn’t want to risk leaving her alone to face the elements. Bending down, she reached out shaking the girl, and softly whispered, “Hey, are you okay?”

Feeling someone touching and speaking to her, Anna opened her eyes with a start fearing it was ]him. She relaxed though only finding it to be the sweet blonde female from earlier. “What?” she asked groggily.

“I asked if you are okay.”

“Yeah, of course, the cold is bracing,” she stammered out.

Elsa rolled her eyes, knowing better. “Do you have a place to stay? It’s suppose to get really cold, and I don’t want you to freeze to death.”

Anna’s expression soften. It’s been so long since heard actual concern. “No, I don’t have anywhere to go, and the shelters scare me,” she admitted.

Something about her tone clenched at Elsa’s heart. There was something so sweet and innocent about the girl. To turn away now and leave her would be cruel. “Come home with me,” she offered.

“No, I’m fine,” Anna lied, bundling up in her jacket. The woman seemed nice, but she didn’t want to risk it.

Stubborn little thing. “I’m not asking, I’m demanding that you come home with me, now.”

The harshness of the blonde voice shook Anna to her core. It brought back all the fear, dread, betrayal, and anxiety she’d work so hard to repress. “Why should I? You’ll end being just like everyone else I trusted. First, they say they love and promise me the moon, sun, and sky. Then, I wind up in a hopeless relationship with an asshole of a guy who said he loved me.” Tears stung her eyes, but she continued to speak drowning in her sorrow recalling all the pain she endured for months. “Instead, he used me for all I was worth and left me on the streets to die. So, why are you any different?”

“‘Cause I’m not promising you any of these things. I’m offering you a warm place by the fire, a fresh shower, and full meal. I get that you’re hurting.” Believe me, I know. “However, the cold may numb the pain and possibly bring death, but that will only serve the person who wronged you happiness. Just try to live for another day, not because I’m asking, but for yourself.”

Blinking a few times, a few more hot tears streaming down her cheeks, Anna reaching out taking the hand before her. Pulling her up to her feet Elsa smiled, glad to have been able to reach the girl. “Sorry, for snapping at you.”

“It’s fine,” she assured. “You were well in your right, it seems. Now, about my offer?”

“A warm shower would nice,” Anna agreed.

“Good, before I do take you to my home, a name would be great to have.”

“Anna.”

“Well, it’s great to meet you Anna, I’m Elsa.”

The pair walked down the sidewalk heading for Elsa’s place. As they did Anna stole a glance at the blonde, Anna felt something she thought was long gone after Hans abandoned: warmth.
