"I can do it!"
Kristoff watched with a smug grin as Anna used all of her strength to pull the large evergreen across the farm. Apparently she had finished setting up the store early, and wanted to help him lay out some pre-cut trees in the barn.
He had a feeling she would be slowing down his normal rhythm, but she had been so cute when she asked that he couldn't help but say yes. He had a feeling that he'd have trouble ever saying no to her, with her bright blue eyes, pink, freckled cheeks, and the way she ran her tongue over her lips when she was anxious.
Offering once more, Kristoff leaned up against the barn wall. "You sure? I can help if you want." The sight of this little girl trying to haul a tree that was a good foot taller than her would never notbe funny, but he was starting to feel bad for her.
Anna dropped the tree with a huff, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Well if you insist."
Moving to grab at the thick trunk of the tree, Kristoff hoisted the tree up off the ground, shaking a heap of pine needles free from the tree, and eliciting a small "hey!" from the redhead.
He leaned the tree up against the wall and turned to face her, a small amount of confusion on his face, until he noticed all of the pine needles in her hair and burst out laughing.
"Stop!" Anna whined, picking at the bits that were stuck in her hat.
Laughing, Kristoff closed the distance between them. "Hang on." Taking off his gloves, Kristoff used thick fingers to tug at all of the little offenders that were tangled in her hat and hair.
She couldn't help the blush that bloomed on her cheeks when his fingers brushed up against her skin. Eyes wide, Anna stepped back away from him. "I think you got them…"
"One more…" Kristoff leaned in close to get the best view he could of the pine needle that was buried deep in her red braids. Close enough that his breath was bouncing off of her skin, back into his face.
As soon as he pulled away with the needle between his fingers, Anna darted off, her skin burning from the gentle touches of his skin.
