Two years after the thaw
Kristoff's POV
"Come on Kristoff, she isn't going to bite…. I mean she might freeze everything again…. but I mean, it has been more than just one day… and I do love her… I'm not trying to take over the throne… Come on Kristoff just knock!" Five minutes. Five minutes I've been standing in front of this thick oak door, trying to convince myself to knock. My mind Flashes back to olaf asking if Anna knew how to knock two years ago at the ice palace. Anna, the love of my life. Taking a deep breath I raise my shaking fist to the solid door and knock.
"Come in" I hear, muffled from the other side. I slowly open the door and peak in.
"I...er..do...do you have a minute Queen Elsa?" I may faint.
She giggles "Come on Kristoff, you know I don't like formalities. Whats up?" She asks peering over a large stack of paper in front of her.
"well… um… As you know" I clear my throat "I have been with anna almost two years now… and I um.. I love her...and so.. I was wondering.. umm"
"Kristoff, let me stop you right there." I gulp and watch her walk around the desk to me. Her face is impossible to read. I try to will myself not to shake so much. "of course you have my blessing" Her slender arms wrap around me in an embrace. "Nothing would make me happier" I am stunned, I was expecting to have to beg.
"Thank you" I breathe "Thank you so much" I say hugging her back. "I do have a favor, though.. Would you mind, um making a ring.. Not because I can't afford one, But because I think an Ice ring Would symbolize that we have your blessing…"
she looks at me and grins. "Thats a great idea!" She says. "did you have something in mind?"
I pull out a crumpled piece of paper out of my pocket and hand it to her, Unable to speak. She looks at it and smiles. "Oh Kristoff, Anna is so lucky." Her hands go together and i watch closely as snowflakes flow around her closed hands. Before long it is over and her hands open to a beautiful blueish purple, solid ice ring with a small heart cut out in the middle of the flat band. Engraved on the sides simply says "Anna my love, forever" She hands it to me and uses her hands to close mine. "Thank you, Elsa." Is all I can say before turning and rushing out of the room. Ive got a date to plan.
"Kristoff!" I hear behind me "Kristoff where are you going!" Olaf runs beside me.
"Ive got to plan a very special dinner for anna tonight" I respond taking a corner sharply, I almost lose my balance.
"Why is it so important?" He asks
I stop short. Should i tell him? "Can you keep a secret?" I know he cant long term, but just maybe he can for a few hours. I open a closet door and pull the snowman in. "I'm proposing to anna tonight!" I whisper excitedly. His eyes go wide.
"really?" he asks. I watch as he starts to jump around. "YAY KRISTOFF'S GOI-" I press my hand over his icey mouth.
"You have to keep Quiet" I whisper. He nods. I need to find something to keep him busy for a few hours. "Can you do me a favor?" He nods again. "Can you pick me flowers, all kinds of flowers and put them on the roof?"
"why on the roof?" he asks.
"Thats Anna's favorite spot. Its where I'm going to propose." I laugh as he starts to jump again.
"I'll go right now!" he leaves as fast as his little legs will take him. I shrug and continue to the kitchen. I'm thinking chocolate.
