Heated Ice (Helsa)

Chapter Twenty-Five: Bonding

Elsa marched her way down the hallway, as far away from Alan as she could get and decided to go up into her bedroom to read a book or maybe paint, anything to calm her down. Alan, like Hans said, knew how to push buttons and Elsa didn't really know why she was so upset or angry with him.

She picked up the bottom of her dress and walked up the long staircase up to the level where her bedroom was. She walked up to her tall, white door and headed in, she slipped her shoes off, untied her braid and felt her hair fall down her back softly. She changed into a full length dark blue nightgown and slipped into her bed and tossed the large, black comforter over her body.

She sighed happily and snuggled deep under the covers and reached over to the bedside table, grabbing the small blue book titled The Foreigner. Elsa picked up from where she left off before and immediately became sucked into the book and all her troubles seemed irrelevant.

Hans wiped away the sweaty beads that lined across his eyebrows, he squinted his eyes and looked off into the distance at the next ship coming in.

"Hans! You able to take this next ship by yourself? I've got James and Pierre working on another!" Hans boss, Damon, yelled over at him. Hans stuck a thumbs up over to him and looked back over at the incoming ship.

"Mind if I help?" Kristoff's voice came from behind Hans, making him jump a little. He turned around to see Kristoff walking over to his side.

"I thought you were with Anna?" Hans asked.

"I was but Elsa needed Anna's help with the invitations." He shrugged, feeling the heat getting to his clothing. "Mind if I help though?"

"Not all." He smiled and walked closer to the edge of the dock as the boat became closer. "Thanks for the offer."

"No problem, I needed something to occupy my time, y'know?" Kristoff shrugged and looked onto the boat that was now docking. "What made you come out here to work? You know that working is optional for you, right?"

"Oh, yeah. I know... I needed a break from the castle." Hans said and boarded onto the boat, walking up to the captain to hear what supplies needed brought into Arendelle.

"Did you and Elsa get into an argument?" Kristoff asked. "If you don't want to answer that, you don't have to."

"No, it's not Elsa. I don't think Elsa could ever bother or irritate me enough to where I'd have to leave the castle... It's just my brother." He said and grabbed a few of the heavier crates and began carrying them off of the ship.

"I'm guessing you're not too fond of him?" Kristoff asked, following Hans while holding a few crates himself.

"Not really. He wants Elsa but there's no way in hell are they getting close or closer than they are."

"I don't think Elsa would even let him. She seems to really like you. I've never really seen her open up to anyone like she has with you."

"Really?" He asked, a small smile spreading across his face, somewhat making him forget about Alan.

"I don't like Alan much, he tried being slick with Anna. I mean she's obviously not interested, she's pregnant and married." Kristoff complained and they walked back up onto the ship and went over to grab more crates full of supplies.

"He's always been like that." Hans scoffed and walked back off of the ship with more supply crates. "He's a pig but he's my brother, so I have to deal with him."

"What's your other brothers like?"

"The oldest, Leo, is the king of the Southern Isles so he's very professional."

"Your father isn't the king?"

"No, he's older now and wants my brother to get used to being king."

"Ah." Kristoff nodded and wiped his forehead of the sweat. "It's so hot out today." He complained and Hans nodded quickly in agreement. "What do you think of the whole Elsa having to be married situation? I'm sorry if I'm asking too many questions."

"It stresses me out honestly, because what if I begin to fall in love with her then she finds love with a suitor she meets?"

"I don't think that'll really happen though. Anna did tell me that she was open to the whole suitor idea but that's for Arendelle, not for herself. I think if she goes with her heart she'll end up choosing you."

"I hope so." Hans nodded and felt a small spark inside of him as he thought of him having Elsa be his wife and family. "She's all I want and all I could ask for."

A/N:

Hi! I hope you're enjoying my fanfic and I hope that I'm writing it well. This is probably my last update until the beginning of April because I'll be on Spring Break and have no way of updating at home... But that probably means that I'll be writing quite a bit over Spring break so I'll have a big update around the first of April. ^.^ Enjoy this update and thank you so much for reading this. :3
