A/N: This is my new Kristanna fic! In this one there is no Hans and Anna and Elsa are not sisters. Anna Curtis is a first year second-grade teacher at Arendelle Elementary School. Kristoff is raising his younger brother Porter after their parents passed away. Here's the catch, Kris is blind. He and Porter manage with the help of his guide dog Sven and family friends Olaf and Oaken. When Porter is hurt, Fam worker Elsa steps in and Kris and Anna fight to keep Porter and find love along the way.

I have a thing for nontraditional families. I like creating an odd group of people and seeing how they create their own families.

Also, a lot of my knowledge of interaction with a blind person comes from watching Auggie's character on Convert Affairs and the Val Kilmer film At First Sight.

The story will be rated a high T for language and eventual sexy-fun-times. Hope you enjoy!


Who Said Love is Blind?

Chapter 2: Larson Lumber and Construction

Kris worked at Larson Lumber and Construction in their accounting office. He had been working there since a work-study program back in high school. His office was far enough away from the mill itself that he was able to concentrate without the constant noise. His boss took on the extra expense of the braille printer and text to speech programs for Kris's computer that he was able to actually save money in the long run by Kris's uncanny accuracy. When Jonathan Larson was first approached by Kris's school about taking on a blind kid in their accounting department, he was skeptical. But he was soon proven wrong. Kris had an aptitude for numbers and patterns that rivaled any sighted person Mr. Larson could hire. Kris was there on time every morning, kept to himself, did his job and then went home at the end of the day.

"Good morning, Kris," Fawn, the receptionist said as he and Sven came into the office. Fawn had a thing for Kris and made sure he knew it at almost every occasion. Her voice always was higher and giggly when he was around and it drove him crazy. She was a nice girl and at one point he would have considered the idea of taking her home with him and satisfying some urges but he had Porter to consider now. Anyone he dated had to be cool with Porter and not many girls really wanted to get into an instant family. "I got you some coffee."

"Thanks Fawn," Kris said. "That was nice of you."

She hands him the coffee cup. "Mrs. Larson put your paperwork on your desk. She went to run some errands but said she'd be in to chat with you when she got back."

"Thank you for telling me," Kris said. "Office, Sven."

He nodded to Fawn before retreating into his office. He closed the door and let Sven go to his dog bed by his desk. He set the really bad coffee on his desk, took off his backpack and hung it over his chair before pulling it out and sitting down. Every morning before he got to the office, Mrs. Larson, the office manager would print off the spreadsheets Kris would need for the day on the braille printer. When he first started there, she would come in and check on him almost every hour but now she'd check in with him only if he called her. Jillian Larson looked at Kris and by extension, little Porter as her kids and did anything she could to make sure they had everything they needed.

A few hours into his day, there was a knock on the door. "Morning Kris," Jillian said. "Did Porter get off to school okay?"

"He did. He was a little down, his one buddy moved to the private school in the next town," Kris said, turning in his chair to face Jillian, even though he couldn't see her. His teachers always told him he should face the person he's speaking to as to not seem rude. "But he's still got little league and Cub Scouts together so it's not like they won't see each other every other day."

"And how are you doing?" Jillian asked.

"I'm doing okay. It's been an adjustment but we're managing."

"You'll tell me if there's anything you boys need?"

"Always. Anyway, payroll's done and ready to be signed," Kris said, picking up a stack of papers. "Sven, printer."

The dog got up from his bed, trotted over to the printer and took the stack and brought it over to Kris. It still amazed Jillian how Sven and Kris worked together. The dog had been a constant presence with Kris since the day he came into for his first day of work study. Sven seemed to anticipate Kris's needs and be there for him before he's called.

Kris handed the stack of checks to Jillian. "I think I'll tackle the purchase orders and expense reports next."

"All right Kris, I'll leave you to it. Want me to get you anything for lunch?"

"I'm good. Sven could use some fresh water though."


"All right everyone," Anna said, gathering her ten students together. "Let's all sit in a circle and we'll get to know one another." Anna sat down and motioned for the ten children to do the same. "We're each going to tell each other one fact about yourself. It doesn't have to be serious. It can be silly. I'll start. I can curl my tongue." She proceeded to stick out her tongue, eliciting a chorus of giggles from her students.

"My house doesn't have stairs," Porter said. "Only ramps."

"Does not," Trinka Duncan said, giving Porter a weird look.

"Does too," Adam Townsend said. "His brother is blind and can't go up and down stairs."

The other children gave their facts and then the bell rang for the morning recess. Anna walked with her students out onto the playground then retreated into the office. Mrs. Hanratty, the kindergarten teacher was in getting a fresh cup of coffee. "Mrs. Hanratty?"

"Miss Curtis? How are you getting along?" Mrs. Hanratty said, sipping on her coffee watching the clock. Her little terrors would be finished with their PE class soon.

"Oh everyone's been so welcoming and great," Anna said. "May I ask you about a student of mine?"

"Let me guess, you have Porter Bjorgman this year," Mrs. Hanratty said.

"Yeah, how'd you guess?"

"Miss Curtis, I have been at this school for years. I know just about every student who has come through here. I had his big brother once upon a time too. The Bjorgman Boys are a unique case here. The parents were killed a little over three years ago, leaving Kristoff to raise Porter."

"Oh my gosh," Anna exclaimed. "That's terrible."

"Yeah, they've had a rough go of it. Kris almost lost Porter to Family Services. They didn't think a blind man could raise a child on his own. It didn't help that they got the Ice Queen of Family Services as their case worker. She was convinced from the start that Kris couldn't properly take care of Porter. It took a lot for them to stay together and they live with the fear of being separated at anytime."

"Is there anything I need to be aware of, be mindful of?"

"They have a couple that helps them out," Mrs. Hanratty said. "Olaf and Paul Oaken. You might hear Kris or Porter mention them. But just watch out for anything out of the ordinary."

The bell rang again and the two teachers had to part. Anna walked back to her classroom. She would have to bury the feelings she had about Porter's situation. She would be mindful and watchful over the little boy. And the incredibly gorgeous brother, she thought.
