A Princess and an iceman

Summary: The storm has ended but that's hardly the end to the troubles that Elsa, Anna and Kristoff must face. How will the people of Arundelle take to their new queen being a witch? And how will a princess and an iceman ever build a relationship when there are far more suitable suitors? Though Rapunzel and Eugene give them some tips.

Hi there, lets start with the basics.

Disclaimer: I do not own Frozen or any of it's characters I do not make any profit off of them.

I don't know where this story is going to go. But it will be a Kristoff Anna romance. I just love frozen and have had some idea coming into my head that need will keep badgering me until I write them. So here goes, we'll start on the boat.

Chapter one.

Elsa.

I was nervous about entering the city again. In the last two days I had become a queen, a witch, a monster, a hermit, a prisoner and the murderer of my own sister. Those doors that kept me safe for so many years would never be the same. Perhaps it was time to open the doors. That is if I wasn't run out of my own country for being a monster. I just did not know what I would face when I got back to the mainland.

But as the men who came to pick us up rowed closer and closer to shore I found my mind going back to those first few moments when I felt that coldness of start to warm and Anna slumped into my arms, alive, not lost forever. The relief that spread through me and then the realization that I knew how to control my powers. It's not about holding everything back, it's about letting the love out. My powers could mean protection for my people, if they'd just accept me.

As I held my sister I noticed for the first time that there was a man behind us. I looked over and recognized the man who had been with Anna in my palace. I looked over at him and down at my sister. He was smiling at her gently. There was a groan behind me and I turned to look and saw Hans struggling to his feet. The unknown man scowled and started towards Hans but Anna held him back, I smirked with pride as my little sister punched him into the water. Not the most diplomatic response but I was glad that she had turned into such a strong young woman. We had to get to know each other again, but the love was still there.

"Remind me not to try killing you."

I turned and looked at the man behind me. He was tall with floppy blonde hair and broad shoulders, I also took in the patches on his clothes. Who was this?

"Sorry, who are you?"

"Kristoff. Uh.. Bjorgman." He hesitated. "Your majesty." He bowed gracelessly. The reindeer behind him also seemed to duck his head slightly. Honestly, where was Anna finding them?

"He took me to you, in the mountains. " Anna said. "I wouldn't have made it back here if it wasn't for him and Sven. And you of course Olaf." She said smiling down at the little snowman.

"Well, for that then I am eternally grateful." I held out my hand to Kristoff Bjorgman and found it enclosed tightly in mine.

"It was my honour your majesty."

Anna came up behind me and his eyes settled on her with an expression that told me all I needed to know.

"I thought I'd lost you. I mean, not that I have you, just.. glad you're alive."

"So am I." she answered with a small shrug. Then she let out a giant sneeze.

"We'd better get you inside. You might catch a cold. " Kristoff said reaching for her and then catching my eye changing direction and running his hand through his hair nervously instead.

"Shall I lower the boat your majesty."

"No need." Anna said looking over to the mainland. "They're coming for us."

My remembrance was interrupted by the boat banging against shore. Kristoff was already on land having gone across in another boat with the reindeer, he was paddling out to us. His hand outstretched to help us out of the boat. I say us, but I know his eyes were set firmly on Anna.

Anna.

I don't know If it was the warmth I missed but I missed Kristoff. Yes, he was only a few feet from me and had only just let go of my hand from helping me out of the boat a few seconds ago but it's like I had got used to him holding me on that long ride back from the troll valley. And with what comes after I just wanted to be back in those arms. Security, that's what I want. And yes, I am cold and he is very warm.

Was it true? What Olaf said, the Kristoff love me? He did come back for me. He did protect me whilst we were on the mountain. He could have turned back, he could have refused to take me further when we lost the sled. But what did I feel about that? I mean, all my life I've been waiting and hoping for the perfect man to come along, so I'd not be alone any more. But then there was Hans, and i've learnt something, that the loneliness and my eagerness to be loved by somebody made me vulnerable. It made me see just what I wanted to see. Obviously, I need to work on that.

But Kristoff is not Hans.

I can't rush it.

And I need to concentrate on Elsa because she's going to need me.

I glance across at him. He gives me a little smile.

"Get on Sven." There was worry in his voice and at first I didn't know where it came from but then I saw that there was a crowd of people coming down the streets towards us coming from all directions. His hands were on my waist and two seconds later before I could say 'wow' I was up on Sven.

"Princess Anna is sick." He shouted.

"I'm not sick." I argued. It would have come out better if I didn't start coughing then. Honestly, my chest was hurting and I did feel cold and shivery as if I was coming down with the flu but there were more important things going on.

"Clear a path." Kristoff shouted at the now stunned looking towns people.

Elsa took a step forwards.

"Please. I know that you have lots of questions."

They were a wall now, a wall of perplexed people blocking all three pathways that led away from the harbour and to home. They were looking at us, the people who I'd watched from my windows. They were looking at us as If they did not know what to think. I'd never been looked at by the people of Arundelle before. They had always smiled when they had seen me.

"And I will answer them." Elsa continued. "But for now, can I please get my sister home. She's not well. I am you're queen. I am here to serve you. I have spent my entire life learning how to serve you. I have powers, I make ice. I don't know where it comes from but I know how to control it now. I promise you , nobody in Arundelle will ever be hurt by me again. I can and will find a way that these powers can benefit Arundelle. But if you don't want me, if I've done too much damage then I understand. I'll leave. But for now, just let me get my sister safe. She's never done anything wrong."

The crowd stared at us for a moment and then there was a parting in the centre and the road that led directly to the palace began to clear. Elsa got up behind me on Sven's back and we looked over at peoples faces as we moved. Then a voice rang out from the crowd.

"Long Live Queen Elsa, Queen of Ice."

There was a silence and then a slow clap coming from somewhere.

"Queen Elsa." A few people said as we carried on. It wasn't everybody, but the clapping was spreading. It was a start.

I looked ahead and I saw some of the Lords and servants from the castle coming down the road to meet us in the middle. One of the Lords whose name I don't remember but was a larger man with a black pointy beard came forwards and clapped his hands.

"Queen Elsa, with the ice and everything going upwards and the big sparkle in the sky Fantastico. And your sister with the bang and the splash. We love it. Such style and grace and power. You are a very powerful friend."

"Thank you Lord Marius. I am glad to have your support."

"Yes, We have seen everything, Prince Hans and Weastletown they were lying,. They think they can take Arundelle, but you have power and you have friends and they have forgotten that."

"Where is Hans?" I asked.

"He got picked up by another boat, I saw them cuffing him." Kristoff said.

"Yes. Please, my sister."

I don't know why she was saying that I was only wheezing a little. My chest hurt, but I just wanted to know that Elsa was going to be okay. That nobody would take her thrown. She'd studied so hard for it and I knew my sister she would be a brilliant queen. She didn't lock people out because she hated them, she locked people out because she loved them so much she would have the loneliness rather than to hurt them.

"Yes yes, The feisty princess we will get her back to the castle. We will get her warm. It has been tiring for the both of you. Come, we are friends, we will look after you."

Things went a little bit blank then. The next thing I knew was moving, I was against something warm and hard under a layer of softness but it didn't feel like Sven. I was curled up, not sitting. I opened my eyes and saw right up a nose. Then big brown eyes were staring down at me with concern.

"What?"

"You collapsed. You're breathing isn't' right." He sounded stressed.

"Just.. I'm just cold." I said.

He seemed to pull me a little closer then.

When I next came to I was lovely and warm. I let out a contented sigh.

"S'warm."

"She's awake?" Kristoff's voice came out of the darkness and I opened my eyes this time seeing a large fire in front of me. I was lying on as couch, and the palace doctor was leaning over me.

"She shall have some soup and spend three days in bed and then she will be fine."

"Thank god." I heard Elsa say.

"I am fine." I said again. Then I closed my eyes because I was just so tired.

I woke up again and this time there was just the crackling of the fire. I suddenly realised I was in the room that Hans had locked me in.

"The door." I said sitting up suddenly and feeling my head swim.

"Wow, lay down, lay down." Kristoff was in front of me his hands on my shoulders.

"Are the doors locked?"

"No, just closed."

"Open them."

"We need to keep the heat in."

"Please."

He looked at me for a second and then sighed. He got up and opened the doors.

"Thank you." I said feeling an instant relief to see that they opened. There was a scrapping sound from the side of me and then Kristoff appeared pulling a chair. He sat in front of me.

"Are you okay?"

"Me, yes, don't worry about me."

"I will worry." He said. "You're ill, the doctor said that if you didn't get warm then you'd get hypothermia. Probably to do with being frozen. But he said you're fine now. You just have to stay warm and rest and eat when they bring you soup and you'll be fine. I think you'll be fine."

"I will be." I promised him.

"Rest now." He said.

"Elsa?"

"She's okay." She's seen the doctor and she's just answering a few other questions from all the Lords and making sure that nobody is going to bother her or you for a while so you can both get some sleep.

I laid back down and closed my eyes. But this time I stayed awake just thinking.

Kristoff.

"Kristoff."

"Just rest."

"I'm okay."

"How are you okay? You've been up for two days straight and those days have been pretty full. I'm not okay, she's not okay, you're not okay. Olaf and Sven, well.. they're always okay. "

"But I have a question."

"You're not going to rest until you ask are you?"

"Nope."

"Okay then."

"What's your last name?"

"Bjorgman."

"What's your favourite food?"

"Carrots."

"You're best friends name."

"Other than Sven."

She leaned up and looked at me in the eyes.

"Brown. Definitely brown." She whispered.

I pushed her gently on the shoulder to get her to rest back against the plush couch. Honestly, what was with that anyway, It was like it was made from a cloud.

"What's with the questions?"

"Foot size?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Nothing. It has nothing to do with anything."

"Then why did you ask?"

"No reason. There's nothing to get offended about, foot size has nothing to do with anything else."

Seriously, this girl just perplexed me.

"Okay, twelve. And you are not resting."

"I can't rest. Not till I know Elsa is okay."

"Just lie still." I said gently pushing her back yet again. "Feisty pants."

She rolled her eyes at me.

"Another question."

"Last one."

"Okay. Will you have lunch with me tomorrow. They'll be carrots?"

I opened my mouth to argue.

"Promise. If you don't promise I won't shut up and apparently I need to be quiet to be resting."

I sighed again.

"Fine. I'll come back for lunch tomorrow."

Like I really needed persuading. I'd need to know how she was doing any ways.

"Come back, what do you mean come back. You're staying here."

"What? No."

"What, why not?"

"Have you seen this place? It's a palace."

"Yes it's a place. I know that. I see it every day. I see way too much of it every day."

"I can't stay in a palace."

"You can if you have an invite from a princess."

"But, where would I sleep?"

"We have thirty guest bedrooms. Pick one."

"But Sven."

"But stables."

"He won't know where I am."

"Then he can sleep in your room with you."

"A reindeer sleeping in the palace?"

"Why not?"

"You obviously have never had to clear reindeer dung."

"Urgh. I guess that's what the smell is."

"Hey! What smell?"

I lifted up my arms and gave a deep breath.

"Okay, I smell a bit but that's not reindeer smell. That's man smell."

"Oh really?"

"Yes. It is I've just spent two days running for my life being chased by wolves and giant snowmen body guards and racing across frozen lakes all to save you."

"I didn't need saving."

I smiled.

"No. You didn't."

She looked up at me with a little quirk to her lips.

"Can I just say something?" I asked her.

"What?"

"The way you punched Hans was just awesome."

She gave a little giggle.

"Do you think so?"

"Yeah."

"Well , a first boyfriend he wasn't all that nice."

"Understatement."

"Well, I'm sure my next one will be better."

"You could not get worse."

"Hey! I was lonely. Lonely people do stupid things."

"Get a reindeer."

"Oh you think you're any better.."

Anna was interrupted by the door creaking open and Elsa, queen of Arundelle and ice appeared in the doorway. I have to say this right now, that woman intimidates me.
