"Spin me! Spin me!" Anna giggled as she and Kristoff danced around the library. They were supposed to be helping Elsa with some extremely boring import and export reports. However they had been left alone together in the stacks with piles of paper on the table before them. It was certainly no wonder that they had rapidly gotten bored and had decided to run off to do something else instead.
It had started out innocently enough, Kristoff had been thirsty and had wanted a drink, and Anna had of course decided to join him being that she did not enjoy the thought of sitting in the dusty library alone with facts and figures which she could scarcely comprehend without assistance. They had been walking together, towards the door when Anna realized that they were entirely and completely alone. There had been no one left other than them in the space and taking advantage of the silence, Anna had of course wanted to break all the rules, as she always did and as such she had begun to shout her frustrations.
She had always hated being silent in the library. Even as a child she had been lively and hated the dead silence of the book filled room. She loved books and reading, especially adventure books, romance, and creative poetry, they were so alive so she hated the room full of silence. She had tried to express this idea many times as a child to anyone who would listen, her parents, her maid, her tutor, but no one ever let her break such a cardinal rule of academia. Until that moment of course, even if there was someone in the room she was an adult now, the crown princess, and frankly no one would try to or could make her stop.
She had encouraged Kristoff to do the same which lead to him singing rather than shouting, leading them again to their current situation. Kristoff chuckled before continuing his song in a lively and sprightly tempo despite the deepness of his voice, "And the starlight was in her eyes. She was the girl of ice and fire, nature's nymph and no woman had a thing on her."
He spun her and she was like fanned smoke in her slate blue gown, she was dancing the most beautiful dance he had ever seen, or rather that he had never seen until that moment. As she spun his heart leapt, as she leapt his mind spun. She had put a spell on him, one he never wanted lifted. It was a very simple curse that caused love at first sight. She was the nymph in the song he had sung since childhood. She was the myth he had always believed in, but had been too afraid to reach for until the day they met.
She had never really heard him sing before, at least not like he was. She had heard him sing a few bars goofing around with Sven in the barn, but she had never heard him sing openly, alone, and for nothing other than the joy of it. His voice was perfect, deep but with a quite extensive range. She had sang in choirs as a child, as was insisted by her parents and the castle's music director, but it had been made of mostly staff and that was how she had become many of their friends. As she stepped and danced and swung she began to hum to the rhythm of his song, not knowing the words.
Kristoff pulled Anna back tight into his arms and began to waltz with her though the song was a bit too quick for it. It was more of a festival song, where a faster paced dance would do better, however he didn't complain and neither did she. Their dance was hypnotic for them both. Each looked only into the other's eyes as they spun and swayed across the room, only stopping when Kristoff's song was done.
The pair was left panting, and Anna fell to the carpet before the library's roaring fireplace with exhaustion. She was a mere foot away from one of the library's settee couches, but the floor was where she landed with Kristoff almost immediately following.
She laughed and leaned onto his shoulder, "That was fun!"
Kristoff chuckled in response once he had caught his breath, "It was, wasn't it?"
Anna smiled and grasped his hand in hers. "We could do things like this more often."
"We could go again." He said, thinking for a moment before adding, "After we finish those reports."
Anna grimaced, she had nearly forgotten about the work that needed to be done. She hated paperwork just as much as anyone else, but she knew that Kristoff was right. She did want to help her sister wither her royal duties, she had been very overwhelmed as of late.
Kristoff helped a sighing Anna up from the floor and the pair walked down to the palace kitchens for water and, though not planned, a few chocolates for Anna. They then returned to the library to work on the annoyance with a new fervor. They both wanted to get things done to repeat their earlier interruption of library law.
