Anna laughs as their swords clang together, enjoying the way David now smiles back instead of sighing in frustration. He already seems different, lighter than the man she met just the day before, as if a weight has been lifted from him. Surer of himself, and stronger for it, and a part of her wishes she could stay a little longer to enjoy discovering this new side of him.

But her mission awaits, she has to move on.

Still, there’s time to teach him just a few more moves. He’s a natural, especially now he’s embracing the feel of the sword in his hand instead of fretting over it. She couldn’t demonstrate anything too flashy before, just showing him the basics, but Anna’s determined to teach him a little flair to his fighting before she goes, something for him to work on in her absence.

He ducks under her blade, just as she showed him, spinning low and coming up strong. Pushing right into her space, and she can imagine he’ll surprise all sorts of foes with that one. She lets him jolt her sword from her grasp, so he can see exactly where to strike her hand to make her grip lax, and he grins broadly, flushed and excited.

Kissing him feels like the most natural thing in the world.

He kisses her back fiercely, and she barely hears the clatter of his sword dropping beside her own.

Kissing David isn’t the same as kissing Kristoff. With Kristoff, it makes something special and warm and perfect unfurl in her stomach, something like contentment and love. But with David, Anna’s heart beats faster, giddiness fluttering through her, not the same but wonderful nonetheless. This is only for now, just one moment caught in time, and she’ll be able to walk away from it with a smile. It’s another layer of depth to the memory of him she’ll carry with her, and his arms wrap tightly around her body, drawing her close to his chest.

He walks her backwards across the barn, and she giggles when he tumbles them both into the hay, rolling together, him kissing her until she’s breathless. She pushes her fingers into his hair, her legs wrapping around his waist, and his hips buck against her, making Anna shiver and nip playfully at his bottom lip.

Sure, she’s on a clock, the mission isn’t far from her mind. But after that nasty business with Bo Peep, she figures she’s earned herself a treat, and David’s groan buzzing against her mouth is the loveliest kind of reward.
