Kristoff stood in front of the mirror in his room in the palace. The suit Elsa had provided him with was very suave indeed; he had never felt so charming and sophisticated… and he hated it.

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

"It's open" Kristoff called.

Elsa appeared around the door, closing it behind her.

"All set?" she asked, grinning.

It was the night of the ball, and the night of the long awaited proposal. Elsa had been checking on him all day, ensuring there were no cold feet and that he hadn't lost the ring.

"I think so" he told her.

As if on cue she asked "Ring?"

He tapped the pocket on the inside of his jacket where the small red box sat happily along with a handkerchief from Elsa, as she had already assured him that Anna was a messy crier, and that she was guaranteed to bawl her eyes out.

Without warning, Elsa threw her arms around him, embracing him. He had never hugged the queen before. It was cold, but not unpleasantly so. He patted her back lightly.

"I'm so happy you found her on the mountains" she said "thank you for bringing her to me"

"Um, thanks for going ice crazy, so I could find her?" Kristoff said uncertainly, making Elsa laugh loudly.

"I guess you're right" she said "Just call me cupid!"

"Elsa?" Kristoff asked, seriously "What if she says no?"

"She won't say no" Elsa said confidently, stepping back to look him in the eye "I talked to her myself last week"

"You WHAT?!" Kristoff asked.

"Don't worry!" she said "she doesn't suspect a thing. I was very subtle"

"What did you say?" he asked her.

"She asked me if I ever planned on finding a king, so I flipped the question on to her. I asked if she would ever wish to marry"

"And she said?"

Elsa grinned from ear to ear, wider than Kristoff had ever seen from the queen, before finishing:

"Whenever he asks"

"They were her words?" Kristoff asked.

"The exact ones"

Kristoff felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders. Now all that was left were the butterflies he felt, worrying about screwing it up.

"I have to go find my sister" Elsa said "good luck" she told him, heading for the door.

"Elsa?" he called after her. She turned back to face him.

"Thank you" he said, with a smile "for accepting me and my lifestyle. I know a lot of the other dignitaries don't think I should be with Anna, but you have never said a bad word"

"You love Anna, and that's all I could ever ask of you" she smiled. Kristoff looked back in the mirror and smoothed his hair down slightly.

"Kristoff?" she asked.

"Yes?" he asked

"Thank you for accepting me and the monster I can be. I didn't ask to be this way. It's easier for Anna that you can accept me too"

"You're not a monster" he said smiling "you're just a bit of a loner" he joked, nudging her.

She laughed.

"I guess we have a lot in common" she said.

"I guess we do" he told her and she left, still chuckling.

Authors note: I liked writing this chapter, i feel a bit of a "bromance" brewing between Elsa and Kristoff. I apologise for the shortness but i didn't think i needed to add to this, it was a five minute conversation after all. So review, favourite and whatever and keep your eyes peeled for chapter 4, heading this way very very shortly :)
