Kristoff walked away from the thirteenth prince, his memories striking hard through the barriers he had erected. If Hans wanted to be that way, he could.

"Woah, woah, woah!" A woman toppled backwards in front of Kristoff. Acting on instinct, he grabbed her and scooped her up. He took a closer look at the girl. It was the princess of Arendelle, Anna. "Hey." She smiled up at him with her large blue eyes.

Kristoff surfaced a grin. "Hey," Anna chuckled lightly. "Nice to see you again." She blushed. After a moment of staring, Kristoff put her down, and the princess kept smiling as the music started to play again. Kristoff thought to himself for a moment, then took both her hands.

"May I offer you a dance?" He indicated the other couples as they entered a delicate spinning. "But," she started, but Kristoff stopped her. "I can't dance either." Kristoff answered for her. Anna grinned understandingly, and they began an oddly perfect waltz, Kristoff taking the maidens waist and Anna taking the icemans shoulder.

"We're doing it!" The princess giggled and Kristoff ran a hand through her strawberry blonde hair. "Yes we are." He agreed and she leaned her head on his broad shoulder.

The pair spent the evening together, dancing, talking, sharing laughs, every moment bringing them closer. Anna and Kristoff spent some time on the balconies outside the ballroom that looked over the sea and the small islands in the distance. The pair sat on the soapstone railing, telling each other about themselves.

"Wait. You have no family?" Anna looked at him sympathetically, taking his hand in her small one.

Kristoff shook his head, the light of the ballroom casting a shining glow on the grey strand of hair on his head. Anna hadn't noticed it before then, and showed a perplexed look.

"What's this?" She asked Kristoff, stroking it softly. The man brought a hand to her wrist and politely brought it down to his lap. "My papa said it was stress. I'm a hard worker." He preceded to tell her about his ice business.

"You harvest ice? Arendelle has a big thing for ice harvesters. You'd fit right in if you wanted to." She offered.

Kristoff laughed. "Actually, I was thinking of taking a trip around the world. Arendelle would be a good first stop." He looked out at the moon's reflection over the sparkling sea. Anna followed his gaze, then walked her fingers on the balcony up his arm.

"I wasn't thinking of it as just a stop." She looked at him in a pleading manner. Kristoff raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He asked as her kind smile turned to a frown, and he realized what the princess was offering.

She was asking him to come back with her to Arendelle.

He thought about it for a moment. It didn't sound like a bad idea. He really liked this girl, princess or not. She made him feel all strange inside, gave him something he knew he hadn't felt in years. Love.

He could tell from the way she looked at him, Anna felt the same way.

"Well, maybe. I'll tell you after you reveal something about yourself." He pointed at her.

Anna giggled. "Well," She took a deep breath. "I am the only daughter of King Agdar and Queen Idun, to inherit the throne, but can't imagine for the life of me ever being in a position of power. I'm as clumsy as they come." She said with a truthful smile.

"Really? You seem like a good ruler to me." Kristoff admitted to her. "Why? What makes me so special?" The princess asked sadly. The iceman hugged her, and held her hands softly, moving a strand of strawberry blonde hair out of the way of her face. "Because you are a wonderful girl. A kind and compassionate young lady. As long as you're who you are, you'll be perfect for the throne." Kristoff drew her lips inward, and in a second, they were kissing.

"Listen, can I just say something crazy?" He proposed. Anna laughed. "You know me." And with that Kristoff stood up, backing to the open doors.

"All my life has been a series of doors to my face," Kristoff sung and slammed the double doors shut, walking back to his lover. "And then suddenly I run into you..."

Anna stood up and started to sing too. "I know just what you mean, because," She indicated the islands behind her. "I've never had siblings or even a true place,"

"And maybe it's the party talking, or the beautiful view." Anna walked two fingers up Kristoff's broad chest.

The iceman placed both hands behind his back and the princess giggled, placing a hand to her mouth. "But with you," He sang. "And with you, I found my place." Anna sung with her man.

Kristoff grabbed her hand and tugged her to the table, jumping up on top of it and taking the princess with him. They sang together in harmony. "And it's nothing like I've ever known before!"

The lovers ran up the spiral staircase to the top of one of the towers, pushing open the stained glass doors, singing in duet. "Love is an open door!"

Anna knew Kristoff had taken the other side of the circular walkway, she spread her arms to the sides of the balcony. "Love is an open-" But Kristoff grabbed her from behind and he finished the line for her. "Door!"

They hopped across the tall roofs to watch the stars. "Life can be so much more," They sang.

"With you!" Kristoff pointed to Anna's chest.

"With you!" Anna laughed and grabbed Kristoff's muscular arm for support as they reached another gable.

"With you," He pulled her close.

"With you!" The princess laughed and kissed him on the nose.

A dignitary walked out onto a nearby balcony with a pipe to smoke, and Anna and Kristoff hid behind a chimney to avoid being seen like two children stealing cookies from the kitchen.

"Love is an open doooor…" They sung softly to avoid being heard.

"I mean it's crazy!" Anna said as they watched a shooting star fly across the dark sky. "I know, we practically finish eachothers-" Anna cut him off "Sentences." She finished for him. He moved closer from his perch, still unsure what to say.

He had never met someone who thought so much like him.

"Anna, I-" He began, but his voice cracked. "What?" She asked looking into his eyes. "It's just that, I'm not royalty. I'm not special. Why do you like me?" He asked the princess, and she just smiled. "Because, you're like no other man I've met before. You're sensitive, kind, caring, something a duke, prince, or king I've met never was..." She kissed him on the cheek to show her endearment.

"Listen," Kristoff felt silly asking so soon. But the coronation would be over tomorrow, he might not get another chance. He held the silver medal close to his heart, and leaned towards her. "I want to be with you for as long as I can. Anna, will you marry me?" He held his hand out to her, wishing he'd thought to bring a ring.

She smiled, taking the golden band off her finger and giving it to Kristoff. "Yes!" Anna threw herself at his arms and kissed him.

And with that, Kristoff wanted to tell the world. But first, the person he most trusted.
