The Viking & The Queen [Hiccelsa] [Book 1] EDITED

Chapter 4

Hans and I drink and chat. We've spent the whole night together, being that Elsa had her moment, I decided to give her some space.

"I often had the whole parlour to myself to slide..." I say to Hans spreading my arms out, accidentally hitting him the face. "Oops. Sorry." He laughs. 

That night Hans and I stroll out of the castle. We walk into the rose garden. "...Your physique helps I'm sure." I say to him.

Hans notices my white streak. "What's this?" He asks about my hair.

"I was born with it, although I dreamt I was kissed by a troll," I tell him.

Hans smiles. "I like it."

Later we're out on the balcony. I was trying to teach Hans how to eat krumkake. "Yeah, the whole thing! You got it." I say to him as he eats the whole thing.

We laugh as the krumkake crumbles in his face. "Okay wait, wait. So you have how many brothers?" I ask.

"Twelve older brothers. Three of them pretended I was invisible... literally... for two years." He says to me.

"That's horrible," I say.

"It's what brothers do." He points out.

"...And sisters." I start.

"Elsa and I were really close when we were little. But then, one day she just shut me out, and I never knew why." I say to him.

He takes my hand. Leaning in close. "I would never shut you out." He says.

I look into his eyes. His dreamy, dreamy eyes. "Okay, can I just say something crazy?" I ask.

"I love crazy." He says.

"All my life has been a series of doors in my face," I sing slamming the balcony door then turning to him. "And then suddenly I bump into you!"

"I was thinking the same thing, because like. . ." He says. "I've been searching my whole life to find my own place." He sings. "And maybe it's the party talking or the chocolate fondue." He says wiping the chocolate off my face.

"But with you," I sing.

"But with you, I found my place," he sings.

"I see you're face!"

"And it's nothing like I've ever known before!" we both sing. We jump to the neighbouring balcony and enter a door. We come out on top of one of the castle's towers.

"Love it's an open door!" we sing together. "Love is an open door! With you!" "Love is an open door," we both sing.

We hop up on the castle roof and watch a shooting star.

I mean it's crazy-" he starts.

"What?" I ask.

"We finish each other's-"

"SANDWICHES!" I cut him off then jump off the roof.

"That's what I was gonna say!" He says following me.

We start to walk on a bridge ledge. "I've never met someone-" I start

"Who thinks so much like me!" we both sing. "Jinx... Jinx again." We both say. "Our mental synchronization can have but one explanation." We sing.

"You-" he starts.

"And I-" I add

"Were-"

"Just-" I sing.

"Meant to be!" we both sing.

Me and Hans dance on top of the lighthouse and cast dancing shadows across the sails of ships in the docks. "Say goodbye-" I start.

"Say goodbye-" he repeats me.

"To the pain in the past!" we both sang. "We don't have to feel it anymore! Love is an open door! Love is an open door!" We play hide and seek amongst the stable doors. "Life can be so much more," we sing.

"With you!" Then we climb to the waterfall looking out over the kingdom. "Love is an open door," we sing together quietly.

"Door," Hans sings.

"Door," I add.

I raise up my hands to frame the moon. Hans puts his hands on top of mine. Together with our hands form a heart. Than Hans looks at me.

"Can I say something crazy...?" He asked. I giggle. "Will you marry me?" He asks me.

I blush. So unexpected. "Can I just say something even crazier? Yes."
