One week later
It had been a week since Anna returned, since Elsa had finished her training, since Olaf was 'created', anyway I was now I was fully healed, with no help from Salazar's training regime, though my eye did still hurt a bit.
Preparations were being made for my Names Day celebration that was happening in four days, and our parents were meant to return today, so me and Anna were down at the docks waiting for them.
So there we were waiting for an hour then another then another and another, we had been there since nine o'clock this morning and we were still there at two I the afternoon, luckily that is when a distraction showed up, and by a distraction I mean Sven came and licked my face, "hey buddy, how are you doing" I said while stroking the reindeers head, "who's this" Anna then asked, "oh right, Anna this is Sven, Sven this is Anna my other sister". Sven then walked over to Anna and bowed his head to her, Anna returned this with a curtsy.
Then Kristoff showed up looking like he was out of breath, "come on you don't even have carrots this time and he still comes chasing after you", Kristoff then saw, "oh my apologies your grace, I didn't see you there", Kristoff said before bowing to her, "it's fine uh", "oh right my name is Kristoff", "oh cool so you're the one that the rock trolls adopted", Kristoff then gave me a stern look, "what we're family we don't keep secrets from each other, also Anna loves magical creatures so I kind of had to tell her", I said in response to his look, "well perhaps my lady you would like to talk about them over lunch" Kristoff then said, "wow asking the princess out, ballsy move, I like that about a man come on then", Anna then started to walk away and Kristoff chased after her like a little puppy.
"Well Sven looks like your stuck with me this afternoon" the reindeer looked as sad as he could, "come on then let's go get some carrots", that cheered him up, so off we went to buy the biggest bunch of carrots we could find.
Once we had our carrots, we just sat at the docks waiting for our parents ship to return but still nothing.
At about four thirty Elsa came and joined us, "still no sign of them", Elsa said whilst sitting down and stroking Sven, "why are you out of the castle", "I was bored, so in answer to my question", "it's not looking hopeful" she then rested her head on my shoulder, "where are they, why would they lie to us", "I don't know" I said while wrapping my arm around her.
"Where is Anna", she then asked me, "that is a brilliant question, and the answer to which is Kristoff took her on a date, and left Sven with me", "aww that's cute" Elsa then said, then we just sat there in silence, enjoying the comfort of one another watching the sunset over the open water.
Once the sun had fully set we started to get ready to head back to the castle, that's when Kristoff showed back up, "hey Jack, thanks for looking after Sven for me, I just dropped Anna off at the castle, I personally thought that we hit it off very well but she may have thought overwise, also why didn't you tell me about the magic snowman", "it's fine Kristoff, I'm sure she will have had I great time, I just hope one day I can find someone to love as well"
"Also, Olaf is meant to be a secret for the moment".
"oh don't worry you will find love, or at worst you will just be married off to some beautiful rich girl who will be forced to bear you many children just so her father has a claim on our fair kingdom", "wow I guess your right but anyway, at least I don't need a reindeer to look after me".
Kristoff then looked at Sven then back at me, "call it even on the dissing", "done" I replied "oh and don't worry you will be seeing a lot more of me if things start going well with Anna" he said before dashing of in to the night, I then looked over to Elsa and saw her holding back her laugh, "right come on" I said "let's get back to the castle", and so we headed off.
That night what Kristoff had said kept on playing through my head I didn't want to be married off to some unwilling woman, I wanted to stay here in Arendelle with Anna and Kristoff and Sven and Olaf and… and Elsa. Oh, it had hit me I had found the woman I love, and it was Elsa, I mean think about it she is smart, beautiful, strong, kind, she was everything to me, but I couldn't feel this way she saw me as a brother not as a possible husband, no matter how I felt, I had to ignore it.
I just had to.
