Little Things (Helsa)

A Night To Remember

(ANNA)

I couldn't be happier on the honeymoon. I didn't even miss Elsa that much, which was a big surprise. Kristoff and I had been all through Rome and the country side of Italy. The vineyards and sights were amazing, and I loved seeing all the history in Rome. We still had a little over two weeks left of our honey moon and were almost out of things to do! Kristoff had mentioned the possibility of taking a detour the England to attend a royal party, but I knew he would be uncomfortable with being there. He was a prince now, but still remained his manly, icy self. I loved him for that. I had thought of going home to Arendelle early, but Elsa was probably in the middle of Hans' trial, and I didn't want to distract her. But then I thought of the perfect idea. We could go to one of the famous spas in Rome and relax and have much needed quality time together. Days filled with hot tubs, massages, and sonas sounded perfect!

I knew telling Hans I liked the portrait would be mean, but he hadn't been talking to me at all at lunch and I needed an excuse to talk at dinner. It seemed to work as he wouldn't shut up. He started by mentioning my portrait, then his other drawings and an hour later found himself talking about how his foreign friends ate their turkey. He finally seemed to notice me being bored and asked if I wanted to talk about anything. I hadn't any work left for the day, and a few hours before the sun set so I took my opportunity to ask him. "Well... I was hoping you could tell me your side of the story..?" He stopped chewing briefly and looked a little hurt. "Is that why you've been nice to me? To get information out of me?" I was a little shocked that he would assume something like that. While it was partly true, I did still genuinely want Hans to live. I'd never be able to forgive myself for executing someone. I still couldn't believe King Rovan couldn't just take care of Hans in his own kingdom. But then again, now that I was in charge, Hans still had a pretty good chance to live. I'm sure in his own kingdom he wouldn't have even had a trial. He would have been taken off the ship and hung right on a rope. I was almost thankful to the king. He had unknowingly given his brother a chance, and that made me smirk.

I spoke quietly, saying, "If all I wanted was information I would have been interrogating you this whole time. I truly just want to help you Hans." He looked at me suspiciously and admitted, "Alright..." I brought up his story again and he sighed a little. It was almost cute except for the fact that it was Hans and I shouldn't even be thinking about him as cute. He finished his dinner and started off, "Well.. First off, I hadn't come to Arendelle to court Anna, I came to court you." I was shocked; why had he wanted to court me? He hadn't even known me! Had he really liked me all this time? My thoughts were racing as I tried to pay attention to what he was saying and figure out what it all meant.

Elsa still had trouble believing I really did love her. I guess I couldn't blame her, I had hurled a sword at her when she wasn't looking. I explained how I helped her people when she had run away, and traveled to her ice castle to try and talk some sense into her. But of course once she admitted to not being able to stop the storm, and I saw how she had hurt Anna, I decided the sisters had their chance and Arendelle needed a proper ruler. I had never loved Anna, so I didn't know what to do to help her. I didn't think she could be helped, so I tried to make her suffering as short as possible by cooling her faster. Then I had dealt with Elsa, honestly believing Anna was dead, and thinking she would make the storm worse, decided the only way to stop the storm was to kill her. While I was telling the story I saw Elsa tear up and choke a little. By the time I had finished she was turned away from me. I was pretty sure she was crying.

I hated to see her sad and alone. I got up slowly, making sure I wouldn't pass out from the movement, and walked over to her. I bent down a little to be at her eye-level. She tried to hide her tears as much as possible, but I knew. I just wrapped my arms around her to comfort her. I had really only planned to give her a reassuring hug, but she held onto me and started crying. I stood there bent over for a while, but my back was hurting so I just picked her up and walked to my bed. She gasped a little from the surprise and tried to get me to put her down. I placed her next to me on my bed and let her lean into me so she could cry. It had only been a little over a month ago, I'm sure it was still terrifying for her. I had heard from Anna that she had kept herself locked up for years because of her powers. She wasn't used to so much interaction and emotion; other than fear that is.

She stopped after a while, but stayed in my arms. After half an hour or so I noticed she was asleep. I shook her gently and she woke a little. She was still the tiniest bit sleepy, and she was so cute when she yawned. I wish I had stuck to the plan and courted her instead of Anna. I could be courting her as a prince, or maybe even engaged. We could be cuddling in a comfortable bed or chair, not in a cold cell in prison. As I had been thinking Elsa had fallen back asleep, so I moved her a little and planted a big kiss right on her lips. She woke up right away, and to my surprise, she kissed back. There was nothing crazy or lustful about it; just gentle kissing. I had one hand right on her jaw, and the other on her side holding her close to me. She used one hand to hold herself up and the other was on my chest.

At one point she leaned into me a little too much and I accidentally fell into my bed, taking her with me. I blinked a second after falling back, and noticed I had pulled her on top of me. "I-I'm so sorry your majesty, I didn't mea-" She stopped me with a kiss, and when she pulled back she smiled and blushed the smallest bit. All I could think to say was, "Oh." This made her laugh, and she kissed me again. I sat up and asked, "Elsa... Would you mind if I kissed you for real...?" She teased me by saying, "I'm not sure, will I?" I took that as a yes and pulled her in close. I looked into her bright blue eyes. They looked like ice crystals in the middle of winter. I shifted my gaze down to her plump lips. I kissed her slowly at first, seeing what she was comfortable with. I moved my hands around slightly in a loving way, and held her tightly. She pulled back after a few minutes and smiled. She kissed me again and said, "I should probably get some sleep." She was right of course, so I kissed her quickly once more and let her go. She got up and walked to the cell door and smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow morning Hans." She smiled and walked back to her castle and her comfortable bed.
