"Kristoff!" Anna shouted running down the halls after her love. Her arms were positively laden with supplies, piles of paper, ribbons and such, but she ignored this as she dashed along towards the blonde mountain man. She didn't even pay attention as she dropped much of her pile while running, her one and only focus was catching Kristoff. She needed his help as soon as physically possible.
Kristoff turned at the sound of his name and stopped walking only to watch Anna lose her balance. There was only a split second between his realization that she was about to fall and the actual impact of her body into his. Her dead weight falling on top of him was more forceful than he would have expected for a body as light as hers. He had lifted her more times than he could count, but there was something about the energy of motion behind her weight that had the force to bowl him over, landing him, and her atop him, to the floor.
"Ugh." Kristoff said as he hit the floor, watching paper fly into the air and flutter down around them. "Anna!" He shouted to the redhead on top of his chest, he lying on his back on the ground. "What's going on?" He asked as she looked at him from his chest, wide eyed in shock.
Anna was so shocked, her jaw slack, her eyes wide. She had been running after Kristoff and now she was atop him on the floor. She was unsure of how she got from point A to point B, but she could not even find the words to speak until she heard Kristoff shout her name. "Oh my goodness!" She exclaimed looking down at him, "Are you alright?"
Kristoff shook his head and looked back up at Anna. She was wondering if he was alright, and honestly he wasn't sure. He had been too in shock to take inventory of himself, but taking a deep breath he responded. "Yeah, I'm fine. My back hurts a little bit, but I'm fine. Are you alright?"
Anna was overjoyed to hear that Kristoff was alright and quickly answered, "Yeah I'm fine, you kind of took the brunt of the fall." She blushed then remembering that she was on top of him, only then standing up.
As Anna's weight came off of him Kristoff stood up, brushing himself off before assessing the damage around the room. "What's going on Anna?" He repeated, not getting an answer the previous time, wondering if perhaps he would get the information he needed this time.
"Oh." Anna said, stooping down to start the process of cleaning up her own mess. She was still blushing, now at her clumsiness. She hated it when she made a mess, but she couldn't help but feel like laughing as she picked things up. She shouldn't have run, but she had just been so excited at the thought of catching him. "Well I was trying to catch you so that maybe you could help me out with my Christmas decorations." She said gesturing around the hall to the mess of papers, ribbons and other various supplies she had dropped, "I make handmade decorations every year and since this is your first Christmas in the palace I thought it would be fun to make them together."
Kristoff watched Anna collect her supplies for a moment before kneeling down to assist her, "Is that what you were running for?" He asked before taking a moment to laugh, "Well I can try if you want." He passed her the pile of colorful papers he had been able to collect, "But I'm not exactly good at that sort of thing."
Anna beamed, "You'll do great, really! It's so simple to do." Taking the papers from him, she kissed his cheek. "It's just some paper snowflakes and a couple folded stars." She tucked some messy strands of hair out of her eyes before adding, "It'll be a piece of cake."
Kristoff, simply knowing Anna had a feeling that it would be no such thing, but rather than telling her as such, he stood up beside her, her kiss still fresh and warm on his cheek. He would move mountains for her and those kisses, if a few crafts were all it would take to keep a smile on her face, he was more than happy to oblige. He reached a hand down to help her up, one which she accepted before leading him off to one of the castle's many sitting rooms in which she had already begun working.
"I'm glad you said yes!" She said grinning from ear to ear as he entered the room to see piles and stacks of white paper, two pairs of scissors and a rather large mess of paper snippings and scraps. "Do you have any idea how long it takes to make five hundred snowflakes by yourself? It takes a lot of the little things to cover the palace windows."
Kristoff gulped, he had had a feeling from the moment she had run into him that today was not going to be the simple and restful one which he had been hoping for.
