There's something you need to know
@vuelie @vannminner here's my submission for frozenkingdomofcovid and angst week
Doctor!Elsa and Policewoman!Anna
In the midst of the coronavirus crisis
Late at night, after a gruelling shift at the hospital, attending Dr.Elsa just wanted to weep. She couldn't remember the last time she stepped out of the teaching hospital and met anyone other than the patients and fellow attendees and nurses. It was a dismal affair, with no end in sight.
As she opened the door to her room, due another shift in six hours, she just wanted someone to hold her in some way, take her mind off it.
Lo and behold, there Anna was.
This chipper patrolwoman had sneaked into the good doctor's life after becoming her roommate. A year ago, if you told this distant woman that this ginger law enforcer would become her best friend and soulmate, she would scoff and would have a bemused expression on her face.
But there they were, a year since they first met and becoming two twin ports in this storm called life.
'Sanitizer ?' Anna offered.
'Thanks' Elsa said weakly. It was enough for Anna to catch on.
'Tell me, snowball' Anna, ever the compassionate one, even if she was just as dead tired as Elsa.
'There's no end in sight, everyday I walk into those chambers of death, all my efforts are in vain. But I pressed on, until today' Elsa spoke through tired tones, but Anna sensed the tears about to come.
'Go on' Anna prodded on, secretly dreading what Elsa was about to say.
'The morgue was filled today, no more space to place the dead' With that, the platinum blonde broke down.
At great risk to herself, Anna hugged the weeping woman, distance be damned.
'I couldn't help them, I failed them' spoke the doctor after a bout of weeping into her roommate's bosom. 'I never thought you would fear answering questions and look for comfort in lies' she continued, 'I don't know what to do'. At that, Anna looked her in the face and spoke ' There's something you need to know, you are not alone in this. This is everyone's battle to fight, everyone must rise up and face it. This will test us all in ways we never imagined. Just hold on and do the next right thing, as I always say.'
Anna then proceeded to caress Elsa's back until the blonde calmed down and looked up gratefully.
'I could kiss you right now' Elsa breathed.
'Wow, you are really tired, huh? Crying into my uniform and now this' Anna grinned.
'Well it was a long day' Elsa smiled back.
'Yeah' Anna said. For a moment they held each other, taking each other's love and strength to prepare for the coming morning.
'You know what happened on patrol today?'
'I played some Disney songs and people started cheering, best day of my career so far'
Elsa laughed, ' I love you, you silly woman'
'I love you too' Anna retorted.
