"Louis?" A voice yelled throughout the hallway connecting to Louis' room and the other rooms in the castle.
"Niall?" Louis questioned, unsure if what he is hearing is real life. He hasn't seen his brother Niall in months, he has been away in Weselton and the Southern Isles trying to help his mother rekindle the bond that was broken so many years ago when Arendelle was frozen over.
Louis would've done it since he is, after all, the oldest. However, since he was little control over his powers, his mother decided to send his fare haired brother instead. You see, Niall may look like a spitting image of his mother; pale and icy blonde, a freezing look in his light blue eyes, but he doesn't share her magical abilities. He's the only man Louis has in his life, aside from his father who died when he was just a boy, and he holds his baby brother close to his heart.
"I hear you've got a hot date tonight! Who's the lucky fella?" He walked into Louis' room, patting him on the shoulder and pulling him into a huge bear hug.
"News travels fast around here doesn't it?" Louis laughed.
"Did you expect anything less from Aunt Anna?" Niall joked, " So, tell me! Who's the guy brave enough to go on a date with you?"
"His name is Harry."
"Harry of...?"
"Harry of nowhere. He's a servant here at the castle, he has a sister named Gemma who was able to get him a job here a few months ago."
"Gemma? Ah, yes, Gemma, the one Joseph has the hots for! She's a lovely girl! I didn't know she had a brother," Niall noted, just as everyone else did months ago when Harry first showed up to work in Elsa's castle.
"None of us did, but he is something special, Ni."
"Really? You think he's... the one?" Niall said dramatically, causing Louis to chuckle and punch his brother in the arm playfully.
"Anyway, how was your trip? Did you get things sorted out for mother?" Louis blushed, changing subjects quickly to avoid Niall's question.
Truth is, deep down inside, Louis did feel like Harry could be the one to change everything for him. Harry could be the one to let Louis gain control over his power, prepare him for the throne that would be his soon, and give him a new start.
"Mostly, yes. I've actually brought back Prince Zayn of Weselton and Prince Liam of the Southern Isles, we've become pretty good friends over the months and I wanted them to meet my family since i've become so close with theirs."
"Prince Liam? As in the nephew of Prince Hans, the bastard who tried to kill mother and Anna?" Louis spat, just thinking of what he had tried to do so many years ago got his blood boiling.
"Yes, but their family has practically disowned Prince Hans. I mentioned him during one of our meetings in the Southern Isles and they basically said, 'He disgraced our family, we don't speak his name in this castle.'" Niall clarified, hoping to convince his hot-headed brother that Liam was as harmless as a fly.
"I still don't trust him, no one can be trusted," Louis waved away Niall's attempts, "And this Prince Zayn fellow? The Duke of Weselton back in mother's day sent a bunch of men to try to kill her because of her powers, what if he has the same prejudice? Mother and I both have these powers."
"Zayn's situation is similar to Liam's: his family doesn't speak of the Duke because of what he did. He single handedly cut off all trade between Weselton and Arendelle, which put Weselton in a very hard place financially. People starved, got ill, died. He caused that, so no Zayn wouldn't share his prejudice. Plus, mother made sure that his people were looked after during their hardships regardless of their contracts being broken, so he has no reason to hate mother, nor you."
"We'll see about that. Anyway, how is your sex life, Nialler?"
Niall's eyes went wide and he laughed nervously. Louis knew how Niall felt about having sex with women outside of a courtship, he just loved to pick on him. Louis actually quite admired his brother for his manners with women, as he had never really had a father figure to show him the ropes of it all. However, he had the next best thing-- Anna and Elsa-- which is about the same thing in Louis and Niall's books.
"No sex, just shopping around. I haven't had a girl catch my eye yet, but i'm always on the lookout for possible candidates," Niall smiled, twiddling his thumbs.
"It's good to have you back, man! I've been lonely without you!" Louis said, not entirely lying.
Harry is amazing... but he doesn't know me the way Niall does or vice versa. Sometimes you just need your brother. Louis thought, remembering his date with Harry that night.
"You've got a date to impress, i'll leave you to get ready," Niall said as if reading his brother's thoughts, and patted Louis' shoulder, leaving the room.
"We'll talk later!" Louis yelled out the door, Niall saluting his fingers as he walked away.
And with that, Louis started getting ready, putting on his best and leaving to make final preparations for the night. He managed to evade Harry on his way to the ballroom, making sure every last detail of the decor was perfect.

"Harry? You here?" Toby yells from the hallway.
"Yeah, i'm in Louis' room," Harry replied.
Harry had been a little late to work, as he had to tell his sister about Louis' date proposal right away and got carried away planning things out, but when he had arrived a whole hour late, Louis was no where to be found. He search around a bit, but after a few minutes decided it'd be best to keep his tardiness a secret seeing as no one knew but him and Gemma and he had no intention to lose his new job, especially now that it has brought him some nice perks.
"Prince Louis sent me to deliver this to you," Toby explained, handing Harry a small scroll with Louis' cat scratch hand writing written all over it.
Harry unraveled the scroll, reading it fondly:
Harry,
I've planned out a very special evening for us tonight. Everything will be perfect. Meet me in the ballroom at 6:00, wear something sexy.
Yours sincerely,
Louis
"What does it say?" Toby asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.
"It's just a to-do list. Thank you for bringing this to me."
Toby nodded his head and walked out of the room just as quickly as he'd walked in, leaving Harry to stress about his date with Prince Louis of Arendelle, a date of which that was rapidly approaching as he paced around like an idiot. So Harry got to work, doing his normal chores to keep his mind off of the time that was escaping him faster than he could keep up with.
And before he knew it, he was all dressed up and heading to the ballroom to what would be one of the best nights of his life.
