(A/N: Hey, guys! I apologize for these last few chapters being so short. Do not fret! Either tonight or tomorrow night, we will reach the big bonfire chapter! I'm certain you won't regret it-unless you don't like crossovers...that's something I can't control...but regardless! I hope you're enjoying the story so far, and please forgive me if it seems rushed. The rest of the story should make up for it :D)

"Kristoff!"

He glanced over his shoulder from where he sat on the dock. Anna was eagerly running towards him, and nearly fell into the water when her acceleration got the best of her. Kristoff instinctively reached out and grabbed her before that happened. She looked to him thankfully.

"Are you ready?" She asked. The look in his eyes betrayed any reflection of her own emotions. The princess tilted her head slightly. "What's wrong?"

The blonde rubbed his shoulder as he stared down at his reflection in the water. "I don't think I'm gonna go, Anna." When he looked up, he noticed that her bottom lip was beginning to tremble. "I came to this resort so it could be secluded; just you and me. Of course, you went out of your way to be the goodhearted person that you are and asked Elsa if she wanted to go, too...but that's not the point. The point is that you, your sister, and I are three different people. If anything, Elsa and I are more alike than how we are together."

"Look!" Anna shouted angrily and grabbed the front of his shirt, pulling him up off the ground. She had always been surprisingly strong for her size. "I know that you and Elsa aren't exactly the most social people, but the least you could do is just try to branch out!" Anna inhaled deeply, set him back on his feet, and calmed herself down. "Is that why you don't wanna go? Does the thought of more than you and I being around really intimidate you that much?"

Kristoff gently pushed her hands from his shirt collar. "It's not even that, Anna. Merida told me, before she told you about the event in the first place, that there would probably be more guys there than girls. Whether you realize it or not, that's what terrifies me." Anna blinked in confusion. "I know you don't think much of yourself physically, but you're actually really cute." Her cheeks grew warm and visibly turned a pinkish-red tone. "Plus, you're the Princess of Arendelle. I'm sure all of those other people that'll be there tonight have heard of you. There's not a doubt in my mind that at least one out of that dozen will try and get to you."

Anna smiled and held Kristoff's hand. She gestured for him to start walking with her, which he did, as she began explaining the way she saw things.

"That's sweet and all, K. It really is...but look at it this way. Since Elsa is coming, too, who do you think will receive more attention?" He fell silent. "Exactly." Anna shrugged with a soft sigh. "And besides, why would I go chasing after somebody else when I have you?"

Kristoff chuckled and looked away. "I'm not much to look at."

"You are to me."

He turned his head towards her again. She was absentmindedly twirling one of her braids around her fingers as she stared straight ahead. Though the girl was a bit shy about it, she meant what she said. Even if he didn't see it, in Anna's eyes, Kristoff was really attractive. It helped that he was good with animals, since Anna was contemplating on maybe adopting a puppy when they returned to Arendelle.

"Kristoff, I know my relationship with you isn't worth jeopardizing. You're way too important to me. I would never leave you for anyone else." She stood in his way and held both of his hands. "Please believe me when I say that."

The mountain man smiled and pulled her into a warm hug. She began to get on her tiptoes and kiss him, but the sound of a throat being cleared behind them stopped her. Anna and Kristoff looked to see who it was. Merida stood behind them with her arms crossed. One of her infamous ginger-colored eyebrows were raised as she gave them both a once-over.

"As cute as this is...we've got plans this evening. So can you save the cuddly stuff for later?" Before either of them could reply, the Scottish teen turned around and disappeared beyond the trees. Anna and Kristoff exchanged glances before following her.
