Kristoff held a large velvet box in shaking hands as he approached Anna, who was oblivious as she counted out the register. He was nervous to do this, to give her something. This was a big deal for him, as he hadn't ever let himself get this close to someone outside of his family… and…
He froze when she noticed him, smiling up with her bright blue eyes.
"Hi there."
"… H-Hi." His face lit up a bright red and he turned his eyes down to the ground, reaching out to grab her hand. "Come with me."
Anna's eyes widened as she followed him into the back room, her cheeks flushing, wondering what exactly he was up to. But when he opened the door, she couldn't help the smile that spread on her cheeks. He had lined the room with colored christmas lights, making the whole room glow with a soft, almost romantic light. "Wow…" she sighed, staring at him dreamy eyed.
There were three candles burning on the coffee table, and Kristoff led her to the couch, sitting her down beside him. "S-so…" He felt so small under her gaze, under her big and beautiful personality… but he knew that she didn't think of him that way. That he was enough for her, or at least that she thought so.
He held out the box in one hand, rubbing at the back of his head with the other. "I… wanted to give you this. It's…" Kristoff pushed it forward, coughing. "It's just a little… something."
Anna carefully took it from his hands, biting at her lip and turning her gaze down towards the blue velvet. She opened it slowly, revealing a mostly crystal snowflake ornament that was decorated and trimmed with a bright, sparkling silver. It was so beautiful that it had rendered her speechless.
"My ma got it from my pa when they got engaged… and she gave it to me when I was little… she told me…" He swallowed, his blush spreading down his neck. "She told me to save it for someone special. A-and… I know we've only known each other for a little while…"
Visibly gulping, Anna looked up to him with misty eyes, her whole face soaked with adoration.
"But… there's…" Kristoff took the box from her and placed in on the table, before reaching forward to hold her hands in his. "This is something special. I just… I feel it."
"… I don't know what to say…" Anna leaned forwards to give him a quick kiss, smiling against his mouth when his hands rose up to her jaw to pull her back for another one. "I…"
"Anna," he mumbled, lips still pressed together. "I…" He kissed her again. "I love you."
She threw her arms around his neck as she tried to kiss him again, smiling too widely to actually press her lips against his.
"I love you, too."
