For anon on tumblr, who prompted "crown, coin, castle" and got yet another fic set in just this heart 'verse.
It takes them until mid-afternoon to find a good spot. Anna—being Anna—had kept on insisting that the right place was just over there, and they'd followed her, because—well.
In the end Eugene had simply thrown himself onto a patch of grass beside the pond and refused to move. Anna'd pouted and then tried to pick him up, but luckily Rapunzel had discovered the perfect flower up a tree, and now here they are.
Eugene chuckles as Kristoff's hands instantly reach out for something to do. "Where'd you learn to make flower crowns?"
He expects mumbling, and maybe a blush, but Kristoff just shrugs. "There were flowers in the valley, and I used to make stuff to play with—crowns, dolls? Never really stopped, I guess."
"No toys," Eugene says, mouth twisting; sometimes it still amazes him, how easily they've all kind of…forgotten. "You could have stolen some, y'know."
Kristoff snorts. "You would have been a terrible ice harvester, y'know."
"Excuse me, Flynn Rider is good at everything."
"Oh, of course," and Eugene's just about to do something drastic like—he doesn't know, shove Kristoff in to the water or throw some grass?—when Kristoff flicks the crown on his head. "There. For the fairest."
"You're damn right," he grumbles, before a frustrated squeal distracts both of them.
"You can't do it like that," Rapunzel is telling Anna, whose strategy for conquering the tree in front of her seems to be to repeatedly launch herself at it and then cling to it with all four limbs. "You have to…"
She makes a vague kind of upward flick, and then just clambers up the nearest branch. "Come on! I'll pull you up."
"Money on who falls off first?" Eugene asks.
Kristoff frowns, eyes flickering from the girls to where the flower is. "Both at the same time."
"Oh, come on, that's cheating."
"Both."
"Fine, then. But there's no way Rapunzel's going to fall, I'm the one who taught her how to climb—"
There's a triumphant yell, and a hand sticks out of the foliage, clutching a flower. A second later, Anna's face emerges as well. "I got it! Oooh, you can see the castle from up here, come look come look—"
The leaves shuffle a little, and Rapunzel's head pokes out. "Oh!"
Anna nods, enthusiastically. "Right? Look at the way the light hits…"
She waves at the grass below, slips, and—
"That's not fair," Eugene complains as Rapunzel catches Anna's hand just in time and gets pulled down as well. "That's cheating."
He throws a coin at Kristoff anyway.
