A knock came from Kristoff's bedroom door, "Sir?"
Kristoff groggily opened his eyes. The sun was already fairly high in the sky. The servant knocked again. Kristoff panicked, looking down at Anna and their clothes lying all over the floor. "Anna," he whispered. "Anna! There's someone at my door."
Anna's eyes shot open. She rolled off the bed, grabbed her dress and hid before the servant opened the door. "Are you alright, sir?"
Kristoff sat up, his heart beating harder than it had the night before. "Uh-huh. Yes! I'm fine. I just overslept." He crossed and uncrossed his arms nervously.
"I just came to let you know that we'll be serving lunch as soon as Princess Anna gets back from her walk. I'll leave you to get dressed now." Kai said before walking back out the door. Kristoff fell back on the bed with a sigh of relief.
Anna climbed back onto the bed, her hair in a messy halo around her head. She started laughing softly.
"Oh hello, Princess Anna, how was your walk?" Kristoff joked, then kissed her delicately. "I'll get dressed, then make sure there's no one in the hall so you can make your escape."
Anna leaned against him affectionately before slipping out of bed to put her clothes on.
Kristoff put on his as well and peeked out the door. "The coast is clear, you're free to go." He was so cute when he smiled at her like that. He looked at her like she was the most important thing in the world.
"Kristoff?" Anna started gently. He raised his eyebrows. "I love you."
An even bigger smile broke across his face. "I love you too... Now go, before someone sees you," Kristoff replied, pushing her out the door.
Anna walked carefully through the hall, checking before she went around corners. Once she made it to her room she took a deep breath before she started putting on new clothes and fixing her hair. After a final check in the mirror, Anna looked up and saw Elsa standing in the doorway with a smirk on her face.
"Did you have a good walk?" Elsa asked, sarcasm dripping off every word.
Anna bumped Elsa with her hip. "So you're the one who told the servants that's where I was. Thank you for that. I made the mistake of falling asleep in a bed that isn't mine."
"Of course. You might want to be a little more careful next time, though. A sudden interest in taking long walks might be a little suspicious," Elsa winked and laughed.
Kristoff was already sitting at the dining table when Anna and Elsa came into the room. Anna had a look of mischief on her face. He felt a sudden burst of love for her. Elsa just looked like she was trying to suppress a giggle. He felt a little self-conscious when he realized that she probably knew what they did last night. Kristoff cleared his throat.
"Good afternoon. How was your morning, Elsa?" He asked, trying to be normal. Elsa smiled.
"It was very nice, thank you. I helped Olaf and some of the village children make an ice house to play in. I also stopped by to see Sven. He seems very happy with his constant supply of carrots from the royal gardens."
Kristoff grinned at that. He knew that Sven had been ecstatic to hear that he could have all the carrots he wanted. "That does sound like a nice morning."
After they were through eating, Elsa pulled Kristoff aside. "I was wondering if you would like to spend time in the common room with me tonight." Elsa wanted to spend more time with Kristoff. She felt like they should be friends, seeing as they were living together.
Kristoff looked a little confused, but agreed with a smile.
Anna needed a little time alone anyways. Most of her time lately had been spent with Kristoff. When she heard about Elsa's plans, Anna immediately went to her room to find a book and asked Gerda to bring her some chocolate.
Kristoff was nervous about spending time alone with Elsa. He hadn't spent any time with just her and didn't know if they would have anything to talk about. When Kristoff met Elsa in the common room it was already dark outside, with a fire burning in the hearth. Elsa poured quite a bit of an amber colored liquid into two crystal glasses, then handed one to Kristoff. He took a sip tentatively. Whiskey. He knew the taste well. Kristoff sat on the couch that faced the fire.
"I'd like to play a game with you," Elsa said, a smirk dancing on the edges of her lips. She made him nervous. Not because he was attracted to her, even though she was attractive, but because he didn't know her very well. He didn't know what her boundaries were, what she would or wouldn't do.
"Okay," he responded, trying to sound confident. "How do we play?"
Elsa sat back in one of the chairs, crossing her legs. "I say something I've never done and if you've done it, you take a drink. Then, we switch and you say something you've never done and if I've done it, I drink."
Kristoff nodded his head. He didn't have anything to hide.
"I've never had a reindeer," she said with a smile, giving him an easy one the first time. He smiled and rolled his eyes, taking a drink of his whiskey.
"I've never had ice powers," Kristoff responded, raising his eyebrows. She took a drink, then wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. After several obvious rounds like that, they had finished off their first glasses. Elsa's mind had gotten a little fuzzy around the edges.
Kristoff could feel the alcohol taking it's effect on his body. He felt less stable, and really hot. He removed his shoes and one of his shirts, then laid back on the couch so he was facing Elsa. She poured them both more whiskey.
"I've never had any friends," Elsa said quietly. Kristoff thought about that for a minute. He considered the trolls his friends, and also the guys he harvested ice with, so he drank. Then, he shook his head.
"You have to drink, too," he told Elsa. A stupid grin fell across his face. "That statement isn't true anymore. I'm your friend."
Elsa stumbled over to the couch and hugged him before he even realized it was happening. "Thank you. I needed that," she whispered.
He slid over and let her sit next to him on the couch. They quit playing the game and just talked for a while. She asked him about the trolls and he asked her about what she had done, being isolated for so long. Kristoff didn't feel nervous around Elsa anymore.
AN: Hi guys! I know it took me a little longer to update this time, so I'm sorry! But I hope you enjoyed this. I love the idea of Elsa and Kristoff being best friends with their blonde hair and fascination of ice ;) Reviews are appreciated! Happy New Year!
