Soo... You guys can't imagine how shocking it was for me to see that people actually read this. I am aware that I probably have huge grammar errors and I'm reaaaally trying to correct them, but writing in english it's tougher than I thought. Please bear with me.
_Dreaming of You or Dead Serious Coincidence_
Anna was wandering aimlessly around the palace, she used to do this whenever she felt under the weather; Her thoughts were lost on the memory of her horrible nightmare, it had been so weird, the terrible dream had felt so real she couldn't shake away the fear it had inflicted in her.
She entered the Portrait Room, her stomach twisted at the sight of the two persons inside the room; her elder sister and the ice harvester were lost in a conversation.
The princess approached them "Hi guys… what are you doing here?" the two blondes turned to her.
"Anna! where have you been?" Kristoff welcomed her with a soft hug- she jeered at him
"Where have you been? I've been looking for you-" she frowned for emphasis "-for hours" the man smiled nervously.
"Oh right… sorry, I've been helping master Agathon with a trading project" he explained; Elsa reached for Anna's hand and smiled keenly
"Kristoff had an amazing idea for a trading project" The young princess absently tightened her eye trying to erase the image of her nightmare from her head.
The queen looked at Anna- an apologetic look on her eyes "Now that I mention it, I had scheduled a meeting with Agathon-" she turned for the door "-Uh- Excuse me"
As soon as the queen was out of sight Anna wrapped her arms around one of Kristoff's, and allowed a ghastly sigh escape her lungs.
Kristoff squeezed her hand "Are you okay?" voicing his concern- Anna grunted.
"I had a terrible nightmare…" her energy gone; Kristoff surrounded her in a hug
"Do you... wanna tell me about it?"
She shook her head against his chest "Nah... It would just depress you"
"You sure? It could make you feel better-" There was no reply, the ice harvester sighed and ruffled her hair "-Well... It's over now"
They remained in silence for a moment- the princess shifted in his arms and her gaze set on him
"Hey Kristoff, do you love me?" she asked
Anna's words came as a slap to Kristoff. His embrace weakened as he stared down at her, doubt clearly showing in his reaction- the real, quick answer was 'no', but the ice harvester didn't need an easy answer. He was well aware of Anna's vision and understanding of what 'love' was, he knew perfectly well that his answer would surely hurt her; something he had promised himself never to do.
Disappointed in his hesitation, Anna pushed him away slowly, taking a step back and swallowing in fear "You... you don't?" expressing a mixture of confusion, anger and hurt.
Kristoff had always expected Anna would, eventually, ask this; He truthfully expected to love her by the time she inquired in his feelings- he smiled sheepishly "Anna, It's not like that-" he started softly; Anna wouldn't snap at him, she wouldn't run away and dismiss his explanation, Kristoff knew that. He chose to be as honest as humanly possible- she only stared at his face, never settling for one emotion "-I really, really wished to love you; but it's not that simple-"
"Why?" her voice was sharp. Kristoff struggled trying to come up with his words
"Well, b-because I-I am not you, I wasn't cut from people for years; I tried and I've experienced what I thought was true love for years... I've been disappointed and I've been hurt as a result… Until I met you I had almost completely shut myself away from other people... and I really wish I could be like you and openly give myself into the joyous feeling that love is supposed to be... but sadly, I am not you- I'm me, and love has been screwed up for me. I am no love expert" his last words barely audible
Anna closed her eyes; she couldn't say she didn't felt hurt -she did, and a lot- but she did understand; But as much as it pained her to admit it, it was true. Kristoff had a completely different life from her, a life that had probably been constantly exposed to people like Hans. He even had a song about reindeers being better than people. So she believed it was unfair of her to get angry at him because of this, after all, It had only taken one day outside for her to figure out that love wasn't what she always thought. The princess could barely imagine how hard it had been for the ice harvester, how many days did he had to figure out things about love- she sighed heavily.
"Anna… I like you. I like you a lot; I can't conceive a world without you in it; you're my best friend and I bless the day I got to meet you; I owe you everything I have. But... Is this love?-" he closed their distance and embraced her once again "-It's a different kind of love. In time… I hope it can grow into something more"
Anna relaxed in his arms; it was true, maybe their love was at a different stage of development, and maybe love wasn't how she always thought it would be, perhaps they would've to put more effort into their relationship-
"...Isn't Sven your best friend?"
Kristoff was confused by the unrelated question "Well… Sven is kinda like my brother so it's different"
-Perhaps they would, but for now, it was enough. Anna was just happy to have him on her life, and Kristoff was happier.
Hours later and late at night Elsa would find her sister alone on the portraits room.
"Anna? Are you alright?"
The queen approached her sister; the princess was talking with some of the pictures, it wasn't really necessary after the gates opened but Anna felt she owed it to the paintings, after all, they had kept her company for a very long time; it was sad to just leave them alone after everything was fixed.
She turned to her sister "Why?"
The eldest walked up to her, confused eyes. "Well... it's really late, and you're talking with paintings" Anna giggled
"It's nothing really, I've just been feeling under the weather today-" the queen urged her to tell her "-Well, I had a nightmare this afternoon and It has been bugging me since" the eldest stared blankly
"Do you… do you want to talk about it?" Anna stared at her, the unsettling imagine of Elsa kissing her Kristoff flooded her mind. Talking with her suitor had strengthened things between them, but the nightmare had already sowed the fear of him falling in love with her sister, a fear she couldn't just ignore.
Anna shook her head "No, it would only depress you-" she smiled at the blonde. "-Hey Elsa; on other news guess what, I just spoke with Kristoff...and turns out I was wrong about his best friend's name too" the queen chuckled
"I know. You are his best friend, Sven is like a brother to him" Anna was surprised by her sister
"H-Hey! How did you know that?"
Elsa smiled at her, with an amused look "Well... it's rather obvious, this past week I've seen him hanging with you almost as much as your shadow"
The youngest grinned, and looked through the window "Ugh... I don't want to go to sleep just yet"
Elsa gleamed with understanding "I know that feeling" Anna rested her head on her sister's shoulder and after a minute she frowned
"Hey... Are you avoiding going to bed too?"
Elsa looked away "No"
The youngest stared sceptically, but chose not to pursue that topic; her gaze traveled across every door in the room, all of them were closed.
"aaaand…-" she muttered taking a step away; smiling widely at her sister "-Do you wanna build a Snowman?" she tried to imitate her five-years old voice as best as she could.
Elsa's gaze jolted to her and a mischievous smile crept her lips.
Days had passed, the courting couple explored the surrounding forests of Arendelle, enjoying each other's company.
The princess ran ahead of Kristoff, enjoying herself on the quiet of the forest
"Don't go too far Anna" Kristoff was used to the forest, but being used to something doesn't make it any less dangerous
"C'mon Kristoff, we're still pretty close to Arendelle, there's nothing to worry abou-AAH" a squeal of surprised left her as she slipped on roots and fell down a small mound- Kristoff rolled his eyes
"Are you ok?" after a moment of fear his heart lightened as an approving groan reached his ears "I think we should go back Anna; I still have a lot of work to do"
Anna climbed back up and frowned "Since when did Ice Master and Deliverer became a thing?" he chuckled
"Well... Since we manage to create the official Arendelle's Ice guild; as ice master and deliverer, I'm in charge of the whole thing. Now come… we have to go" she sighed and jogged up to him.
"Hey-" he spoke. Anna looked at Kristoff curiously "-Have you had any more nightmares?" the princess smiled at the concern showed by the blonde
She shook her head "No, I guess it was a one-time thing"
Kristoff exhaled in relief "Will you tell me what it was about?" Anna pondered at the idea and decided to comply.
"It was really silly actually; I found myself talking with Elsa about your new project with the Ice business... and you appeared, and for some messed up reason, you were on a relationship with Elsa. And I was like: What!?" Kristoff had stopped walking and stared at her, confused.
"Wait, what!?"
Anna blinked at him and smiled "Yes! exactly like that!-" she pointed out "-But then, an evil woman appeared and, for some reason, hurled a huge green fireball at you and BAM! just like that, you are dead" Anna made sure to emphasise gesturing with her hands, however, the Ice harvester was unable to imagine how the dream could have been.
"Soo... I died?-" Anna nodded, slightly embarrassed of her dream "-and I died after kissing Elsa?"
"Yeah, it was really strange"
The blonde couldn't agree more "I know… but... you do realise what was wrong with that dream, right?" the princess smiled mockingly
"Of course I know! after all, It was just a dream"
"Then why did it affect you so much?"
Anna shrugged- saddening her eyes "I don't know, it felt pretty real to me… But, after thinking about it I really don't know"
Kristoff ruffled her hair playfully, bringing her back from her focus "Then, I guess you shouldn't mind it. Do you wanna go buy chocolates? my treat"
Her freckled face gleamed "Yes!".
Anna sat on her bed; she left the letter on the side of her bed and exhaled heavily, the eldest waited patiently for her sister's response.
"What do you think Anna?" the princess looked at her, dumbstruck by the letter
"I... must do what's best for Arendelle" she replied plainly
Elsa shook her head "You must do whatever you think it's best for you, Anna" the youngest's features reflected her determination
"I want to help you with the kingdom Elsa, plus, it's the right thing to do… If Hans want's to apologise for his wrongs, I will hear him out; it's the decent thing to do"
The queen frowned, fidgeting with her fingers "We can demand him to come to Arendelle, Anna. There is no need for you to go all the way to Corona"
Anna shook her head again "C'mon, it'll be fun… I can use this as a chance to spend time with Rapunzel, we didn't spend half as much time together as I wanted after your winter"
Elsa grimaced, she held her hands "I don't want you to go…"
The princess gave her an encouraging smile "It'll be alright Elsa, trust me" the eldest features saddened
"Take care… please"
"You take care".
Anna gave Kristoff a hug and then she smiled at her sister
"See you in a few weeks"
Sven gave her a sad cry "I'll miss you too, Sven" with nothing more to say, Anna turned around and got on the ship.
Kristoff didn't stop waving until the ship had been lost on the horizon. Olaf and Sven had already left, only the two blondes remained.
"How are you feeling?" Elsa yelped at his sudden question, turning slightly to him
"Dreadful" her voice grim, he chuckled
"She's really lucky to have you"
The queen pretended not to hear him, she turned around without saying anything and started walking back into the castle, the ice harvester jogged to catch up
"Where are you going?"
Elsa stopped dead and turned to him "I'm going back to work" her words cutting-
Kristoff gulped "Shouldn't you take a break?" Elsa eyed him with a mortifying frown
"Don't be ridiculous Kristoff" she resumed her walk; the ice harvester followed
"Anna told me you've not been sleeping"
"Anna should mind her own business"
Kristoff snickered "She wouldn't be Anna if she did that… Is there a reason why you've been acting so cold to me lately?"
The queen scowled sheepishly "I- I have not!"
"Okay fine, you don't want to talk-" Kristoff stopped and turned in direction to his shed "-However your highness, I'll need to speak with you tomorrow about increasing the ranks of the ice harvester guild" Elsa grimaced at the way he called her for her title, she turned and saw Kristoff walking away
"Wait, Kristoff" The man stopped and turned to her
"Why do you care so much?"
The blonde stood clueless by the question
"Because... we are friends" he answered, it was actually really simple for him- her eyes hid behind her platinum locks
"Are we?"
Kristoff walked up to her but kept his distance "I want to be-" she remained in silence "-Anna said you've not been sleeping, are you okay? do you need to talk about it?" Elsa shocked her head
"It's really nothing, It's just some nightmares…"
The ice harvester raised an eyebrow "Well, would it help if you tell me about it?"
Elsa shocked her head "N-No, I don't think- It's not a good idea… I wouldn't want to bother you with my troubles" she took a step back Kristoff gave two long steps and grabbed her by the hand
"Hey Elsa, Anna made me promise I would take care of you… I intend doing so"
The queen had a wary expression, her eyes shifting between her hand and his face- the ice harvester's eyes widened and he let go of her hand; only a small layer of ice had crossed her clothes
"Sorry! I- I didn't mean to touch you"
Elsa hugged herself, her fear showing "I-It's fine, you're right, I-I should tell you...-" eyes fixed on the floor "-I had a nightmare, of you... dying"
Kristoff felt his stomach sink "W-What?"
The girl nervously grabbed her braid "I- I was speaking with Anna, in my dream; then you appeared out of nowhere…-" she trailed off, lost in her thoughts. The blonde man didn't want to pressure her so he remained silent, after a long pause, the queen took a deep breath "-Well... you were acting really weird; I started panicking for something and started fighting with Anna, i think- I don't really remember, I didn't understand any of it. Then, a woman appeared before us, she was pale and tall and beautiful; she got angry at Anna and me because we didn't know her, but the woman told us... that she was myself-"
The queen silenced. The ice harvester was focused on the platinum blonde, a strange feeling growing inside of his stomach; the queen glimpsed at him- doubt in her eyes "-The woman used some kind of magic and surrounded herself with green fire; her eyes turned green and you stood in front of us, you told us to stay away from her-" she was notoriously anxious and Kristoff felt himself falling into fear with the growing realisation "-she threw a green blast of fire and... stroke you dead"
The ice harvester gulped dryly
"Green fire?-" his words were weak, the queen nodded, unsure of the reason behind his question- unable to meet his eyes, she shifted uncomfortably "-When- umm...when was this nightmare?" the ice harvested looked at her inquisitively
She mentally calculated the day of her nightmare "Almost two weeks ago, I think" he closed his eyes tightly, gathering courage to ask- he stared at her shyly.
"You said I was acting weird… weird how?" Elsa's gaze jolted, peeking at him; her cheeks giving into a soft shade of pink
"You… you were just- just, acting really weird" he gathered all his grit in order to ask her
"Did we… by chance… kiss?"
His face matching the same shade of red as hers, her eyes filled in horror "how did you-? wait- no, no, no- how -?" ice started forming around her, Kristoff noticed-
"Elsa! calm down... it's alright-" she took a step back her entire body showing her fear
"Anna can't know, Kristoff. She will surely look into it more than she should…" Kristoff swallowed, doubt paralysed him
"Elsa…that's not important, there is something you need to know"
Her imagination offering many possible things he could say, her brain shaking at most of them "I'm- I'm sure it can w-wait" Kristoff took a step forward, the platinum blonde backed away; snow starting to fall around them.
"Elsa— I think this is serious. Anna had a nightmare, exactly twelve days ago. She… I- I think she… had the exact same dream that you had" the snow banished, her eyes filled with surprise, she was stunned
"Wait, what?"
.
That's all for now, however, I have a really big story planned out and lots of characters are yet to be introduced.
Have a good day.
