"Do you really need to bring so many clothes? How long are you staying, a year?" Kristoff sneered as he rifled through her closet for something in particular once she left it unattended.
"Well, you know me! How many dresses have I ruined in the past year? Hey, what are you doing in there?!"
"When did you say it was again?" Kristoff asked as he handed Anna a showl, the ice harvester inside him felt like she might get cold, and she snatched it from his hand without another thought of him going through her closet and shoved it into an almost full suitcase, and she went on zooming about the room to continue over filling it.
"In two weeks!" She chirped excitedly and when she ran past him to grab her hairbrush from her vanity desk she gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Do you really need to pack everything now?" He asked with sunken spirits. He apparently wasn't invited and it would be considered rude to just go along with the sisters unannounced.
"Yes! She specifically asked that me and Elsa show up a few days early!" Anna said with a small bite in her voice. She felt a little annoyed at how many times he had already asked her that.
"Prove it." Kristoff huffed and blocked her way from zooming past him again. He stared her down and watched her face go from chipper to boiling mad in less than .06 seconds, but he didn't relent. "Well?"
She sighed heavily and cast her eyes to the floor and the mental image of the letter shone brilliantly in her mind until the memory of her crumpling it in her hand made it dull. "I can't. I practically destroyed it trying to get to Elsa as fast as I could."
The down trodden tone in Anna's voice was more than enough to make Kristoff step out of her way, a little frown pasted on his mouth out of guilt for making her feel bad now. She knew no one would believe her, but she was trying to not let it bother her so much.
She saw his shadow sweep over to her right and she looked up to see he had moved so that she could continue on with her packing, and without a moments hesitation she did just that, but her energy was depleted tremendously, as was her motivation as she halfhearted threw an old worn out pair of flats on top on the massive heap of dresses in just one of five suitcases she was bringing.
"I'm sorry Kristoff... I'm just so excited." Anna sounded the very opposite of her statement. She slowly turned around to look at her darling beau who was quite visibly crestfallen. "Hey, Elsa wants to talk to you." Anna spoke softly and treaded lightly over to him.
He looked up with a glint of fear exploding like fireworks in his eyes. "W-why?" He frantically stuttered. Why would Elsa ever need to talk to him? Nothing good could come of it. He started mulling over every action he had ever taken in his life in hopes he'd find out what he's done to deserve this, without even knowing what was to happen.
A little giggle bubbled out of Anna's mouth at his tense frame and she rubbed at his arms to try and bring him back to her, and of course to relish in the feeling of his strong arms. "You're not in trouble. If you were she would have hunted you down by now. She just wants to talk to you is all. She'll probably say something sappy about why she thinks you should stay here, and not come with us."
"You think?" The fear was almost completely dissipated from his eyes when he lifted them to connect with Anna's and that made a smile erupt on her face. "I'm positive."
"Sappy though?" He questioned.
"Like a tree." She resolutely answered. "Now go. Before she really does hunt you down. I was supposed to tell you first thing when I found you."
"Yeah, alright."
And with that he swooped down and kissed her long and lovingly, as if he were going off to war because in all honesty that's what he felt like. Elsa was just so... Intense. That's the word he would always think of when he thought of Anna's older sister. She was sweet and caring yes, but she just had this cold intensity about her that made him shiver, but it also made him respect her. He didn't want to end up on the wrong end of her powers one day, no matter how much he loved ice.
"I love you." He sighed out with contentment, letting his fears go for a moment as he gazed into Anna's bright teal blue eyes.
"I love you too Kristoff." She responded sweetly, then she jolted up straight, sending Kristoff reeling on his heels in shock and she ordered "Now go!". He mockingly saluted her and then went on to march out of the room quite dramatically which sent Anna into a laughing fit and lifted Kristoff's spirits higher than he ever thought possible, and he wasn't afraid whatsoever about meeting up with the snow queen anymore.
