"Maybe we should take a break," Kristoff said. "You know, from the relationship stuff?"

Anna's eyes began to tear up. She knew this was coming one of these days, but knowing did not make it hurt less. But why would he break up with her. They've been only dating for a month but all of Anna's bottled up emotions suddenly burst out. First it was her sister. Next was Hans, and now Kristoff? She did not know if she could ever trust anyone again.

Anna tried to wipe some tears off her eyes. "Why? Did I do something wrong? Is it the way I eat? Because I can change for you. I promise I won't eat too much chocolate and – ".

"No, Anna." Kristoff waited for her to calm down. "It's not you, it's me. You're the princess of Arendelle and I'm just a lowly ice harvester, dammit!"

Krsitoff stood up and threw his hands up in exasperation. "We can't be together. It just doesn't work out, Anna."

"Do you love me?" Anna asked suddenly. She was pretty sure her eyes were red and shee looked horrible from crying but she didn't care. Nothing matters if she loses Kristoff.

"Anna, I'ts not –. "

"Answer me."

"I do." Kristoff looked at her. "I always have. People don't usually talk or associate with me. But you, you're actually my first real friend. And I love you." Kristoff was getting the feeling that instead of a break up this conversation was going to lead to apologies and then they would be happy again. He kind of hoped it did, but it won't do god to the both of them.

"Then I can't see a reason why we should take a break." Anna said a little hopefully. "Look, Kristoff, I don't want to look selfish, but I need you. So what if you're only an ice harvester? I don't care."

Kristoff was taken aback a little. Did a princess really fall for him? "But what will the citizens say? What will the officials of the neighboring countries say?"

"Why do you care so much about what other people say? Their opinions do not matter as long as you're happy. As long as we're happy, Kristoff." Anna tried to talk some sense into him. Good thing Elsa was rubbing on her a little bit.

"Because you're royalty, Anna!" Kristoff was beginning to get irritated that Anna could not see his point. But is this what he really wants? "You could only say that because you hadn't heard them talk behind our backs. They all said that it was a disgrace. A mistake!"

"I don't need other people telling me who and who not to love."

Kristoff turned his back to her. "I'm done. I'm pretty sure there are lots of better people out there for you. Maybe a prince or a duke." He gave Anna a meaningful look. "I love you, Anna, but you deserve someone better than an ice harvester. I literally have nothing to offer you."

"Kristoff, wait!" Anna got up and tried to stop him but Kristoff grabbed her arms and pinned her into a wall.

Kristoff kissed her again. Their lips made contact and whatever Anna was going to say was lost in the back of her mind. Kristoff grabbed her hips and lifted her. Anna's hands were rummaging Kristoff's hair and held it there.

He broke the kiss but they remained in position. "Probably my last kiss to you." He leaned in her gave her a little peck before setting her down. Anna could only stare at him as he was preparing to leave.

"Don't worry, Anna. I'm not leaving Arendelle because, well, I still have a job. We'll see each other again." Kristoff gave her a smile. "And I swear the next time I kiss you, I would have something that I can be proud of."

She felt the urge to stop him, hug him, then kiss him again. But the sheer thought of Kristoff breaking up with her was enough to daze her a bit.

Anna's mind felt like it was going to explode. One moment she was thinking of the best picnic ever, then this happened. She knows she should go after him, but Anna also had this feeling that he Kristoff would not listen. She could only stare at the doors, and wonder when it would be open again

XOXOXXOXOOXOXOXOXOXO lol

Elsa was trying to find the hidden stash of chocolate Kai had hidden when Kristoff came. He was running and seemed to be in a hurry to get out of the castle. Elsa disregarded him until he reached the front doors. Just as Kristoff was reaching for the knob, Elsa pointed at the knob and it was instantly covered in frost.

Kristoff jumped back in surprise and frowned when he saw the the ice.

"Well, aren't you in a hurry." Elsa snatched up the bag of chocolates from behind the suits of armor and held it up like a prize.

"Yeah, I forgot I had to deliver some ice." Kristoff rubbed the back of his neck. "I had to go or the buyer would be really angry at me."

"You're a bad liar." Elsa picked a piece of chocolate from her bag and popped it into her mouth. "Want some?" she held out the bag to Kristoff.

"I'm not lying!" Kristoff was irritated now. He felt a little guilty about breaking up with Anna and he really did not need Elsa to join in the mess. "I really have to go. Pleas, Elsa."

"I'm not buying it." Elsa fished another piece of chocolate. "Did you know that your left eye twitches when you lie?"

Kristoff involuntarily put a hand to his left eye and scowled at Elsa. The queen only shrugged and proceeded to eat her chocolate.

"Why were you running?" Elsa sat down at the foot of her palace's stairs. "And please tell me you told Anna to get off my table."

Kristoff sighed and sat next to the Ice Queen. "I told her to get off your table. But I also broke up with her."

Elsa studied the chocolate in her hand. "That's cool."

"Wait, you're not angry?"

"Why should I be?"

"I just hurt your sister." Kristoff looked at her in disbelief and noticed Elsa's platinum blonde hair. It was a sharp contrast to Anna's strawberry blonde, but it looked good on Elsa.

"I don't meddle in the relationships of others." Elsa also looked at him and Kristoff noticed her amazing blue eyes. "It's your choice if you want to break up. I'm not a rude person."

Kristoff was still staring at her. Her rosy cheeks really complimented her pale skin.

"You have freckles," Kristoff blurted out.

"Excuse me?" Elsa raised her eyebrow at him. "What does my freckles have to do with anything?"

"Um, nothing." Krsitoff blushed and cursed himself for being stupid. "I just noticed that, well, um, Anna also has freckles and you have freckles, so I guess you're really sisters?" Kristoff gave her a sheepish smile and hoped she would buy it.

"Thank you?" Elsa started to stand but Kristoff stopped her.

"Wait, Elsa." He was searching his head for the right words to use. "I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to say that, well, this is actually the first time that I noticed your beauty." Kristoff shrugged like it was nothing but he was really freaking out on the inside.

"Oh." Elsa's cheeks started to heat up. "Thank you, I guess. I better get going." Elsa looked down and hurried up the stairs, ;eaving the mountain man at the bottom.

"Elsa, the doors?"

Elsa turned around and with a quick flick of her hand the ice melted away. "One more thing, Kristoff. Why did you break up with Anna in the first place? Don't you like her anymore?"

He looked up at her with sad eyes. "I love her, I do. But I figured that it could never work out between the both of us. She's a princes, I'm a commoner. It's not just because of our status. If we ever get married, I want to be the one who keeps us alive. I don't want to be too dependent on Anna and I don't want other people to think that I'm only after your family's riches."

Elsa looked at him uneasily. "I understand your situation. Are you going to leave?" Please don't leave, please don't leave, please don't leave.

"Uh, no. I still have my job. Just because we broke up doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?" Kristoff laughed half-heartedly. "But seriously, I want to give your sister the best life she could ever imagine. A girl like Anna, she only deserves the best."

Elsa smiled. Her sister was lucky to have Kristoff. If only she could also have him . . .

She shook the thought from her head. She could never do that to Anna.

"Of course. And you'll always be welcome here at our home, Kristoff. Good luck."

"You too, Elsa."
