Kiss on the Neck: Kristoff x Anna

Her grand confrontation had to wait until after the ball was over.

Every time she would get close to Elsa her opportunity would pass her by. She didn't even get a chance to talk to Kristoff again, since the moment she had left his side he had been swarmed.

Which she would love to say hadn't bothered her in the least but it totally had. She really needed to think of something that would show he was taken.

And he had already vetoed her sewing Anna's into all of his clothes. The obvious option neither of them had had the guts to mention yet.

Letting out a puff of irritated air at the memory, Anna continued on her way to Elsa's room, her determination to talk to her about Hans not having abated in the least despite all the distractions.

Knocking on her sister's door, Anna repeated her opening lines in her head wanting to be able to make an argument her stubborn sister would actually listen too.

Elsa gave her a knowing look as she invited her in. "Something on your mind?"

Flushing slightly at being called out, Anna nevertheless straightened her shoulders and dove straight in.

"I wanted to discuss with you certain actions you have taken of late."

Biting her lip to hide her amusement at her sister's overly official tone, Elsa nodded sagely. "Oh, and what actions would those be, sister dear?"

Without her permission a teasing note had entered Elsa's voice at the last of her words but while Anna had noticed it and it did make her bristle slightly,(she hated when Elsa slipped into; I am older than you so I know better your concerns are cute but ridiculous, so on and so forth mode.) she had a course and she was not going to be deterred from it.

"The ones you have committed towards Hans, sister dear." These last words Anna said a trifle sarcastically as she crossed her arms over her chest and gave her sister a look that said quite clearly. 'Ha, take that oh patronizing one.'

Elsa flushed then turned deathly pale, plopping down in a most unladylike manner on her bed.

"What exactly do you mean by that Anna?"

Sitting down next to her, Anna grasped her sister's hands in her own saying. " I mean you have been dreadful to him and I have seen no real reason for you to be. Is there something I am missing that happened between you two?"

Looking down Elsa mumbled helplessly to herself. "I don't understand I thought this would..."

Elsa trailed off a miserable expression over taking the look of confusion on her face as her actions from the past weeks were thrown into a different light by Anna's condemnation.

Feeling a pang of regret in the face of her sister's sadness and confusion, Anna considered just dropping the subject, resolving to be content with having made Elsa take a second look at her actions, when Elsa hesitantly asked.

"Anna, I thought you were not fond of Hans, so why..?"

Squeezing Elsa's hands gently, Anna said firmly. "He annoys the ever living daylights out of me. But one of the most important people in the world to me loves him so he can't be all bad. And by people I mean you, of course. Kristoff agrees with me. Just as he should."

This last part Anna said with a teasing grin, trying to bring a smile to Elsa's lips.

Taking a shuddering breath, Elsa reclaimed her hands and rubbing them across her face said in a voice that wavered still but regardless made Anna happy since she was trying. " I don't know Anna, I have seen them actually speak to each other without gritting their teeth a lot more often of late."

Laughing softly at the small joke, Anna flopped onto her back and stared up at the top of the bright green canopy pondering aloud. " Now how are we going to get the two of you alone when we get home? I just know all the advisers you didn't take with you will drop on you like an avalanche the moment we get there." Her voice twisted with distaste as she mentioned the men who to her always seemed like greedy birds eyes bright and blank as the fought for more power within the court.

Laying down a bit more gracefully than her sister, Elsa ignored the reference to the advisers and instead said. "Don't you think we should be thinking of a way for me to apologize to Hans properly before we think of a way to get us alone?"

"Pfft! You're you, all you will need to do is look up at him with your big beautiful blue eyes and he will be puddy in your palms." Anna stated this quite confidently.

Elsa didn't feel quite so sure herself but her sister's glee bolstered her own drooping spirits causing her to giggle and say."Of course! What on earth was I worried about! I dare say I will only have to say his name and he will be sweeping me off my feet."

At this silly little quip both women broke into helpless laughter the kind that often followed a stressful situation.

Finally once they were back in control of themselves, Anna let out a sigh and commented. "Well now we have a plan of attack for your man problems but what am I to do to keep those silly girls from following Kristoff around the moment I leave his side?"

Anna frowned grumpily as she thought about the tiny waisted, clear skinned beauties that had been flocking around Kristoff through out their visit.

With a mischievous grin that bordered on wicked, Elsa leaned over and whispered in Anna's ear.

Turning to look at her sister, eyebrows reaching for her hairline in shock, Anna gasped. "Elsa!"

Her grin turning naughty, Elsa shrugged her shoulders and said. "It will work."

Blushing Anna turned and burying her face in the covers, mumbled."It better."

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

One week later:

Coming up behind Kristoff, Anna placed a quick kiss on the mark she had left on his neck earlier that morning,(No the giggling lasses were no longer around but...well it was rather enjoyable.) and lacing her arm through his joined him in waiting for the all clear to leave the ship.

"Isn't wonderful to be home?"

Turning away from his search for Sven, Kristoff gave her a wide happy smile and replied. "Absolutely!"

Laughing a little at his enthusiasm, Anna continued. "And now Elsa and Hans will be happy again in just a few short hours so home will be even better than how we left it!"

Now it was Kristoff turned to laugh as the two of them turned away from their spot at the rail to join Elsa as the all clear was given.

Yet as they joined her, their mirth melted away to concern as Elsa's face grew deathly pale, her dark eyes huge as she stared down at the letter a steward had delivered the moment the gangplank was lowered.

Moving as one, Kristoff and Anna surrounded Elsa trying to catch a glimpse of what the letter she held so tightly said.

Most of it was hidden by shadows and fingers but the very end part stood out starkly.

"Elsa, I love you. Which is why I must go. Thank you for my second chance."

Goodbye, my Queen,

Hans
