Anna was working on the FTL engine mock-up, rambling again, when Elsa interrupted.
“I give up.” Elsa muttered, her boots echoing on the metallic flooring. Anna looked away from the machine and turned into a kiss. All words fled her brain instantly, and suddenly she thinks she understands what computers go through when you reboot them.
“There. I have been trying to get a translation for ‘Я тебя люблю’ into English for weeks now, but this should do.”
“I love you.”
Elsa tilted her head. Anna Hanson coughed awkwardly.
“It translates into ‘I love you’.”
Elsa paused and then narrowed her eyes in confusion.
“The bases’s language classes have nothing like that in the vocabulary.”
“I looked it up and even asked Yasha for confirmation. I wanted to be able to say it to you in your own language but never, ah… wait. Why did you kiss me if…?”
Elsa blushed a little.
“I have been taking English.” At Anna’s confusion she smiled mischievously. “I understand pretty much everything you say while you tinker now.”
In comparison to Elsa’s blush, Anna’s face was pretty much on fire.
“Oh. Oh, really? Oh. Geez… that could have been awkward I guess. Um. Assuming the kiss meant…?”
“Yes, Hanson.”
“Oh. Good! Um… Я тебя люблю.”Anna said shyly.
“I love you too.”
