Dark Paths (Helsa)

Sixteen

A/N:
The dress at the top is the dress Elsa will wear for the day ^_^ I love the dress so much for Elsa to wear! :) thanks for reading<3 I also added a video, I hope it's what I wanted (it wouldn't play for me), it's Ed Sheeran's song "Thinking Out Loud" and this is how I feel about Hans and Elsa right now. If the song didn't work, please listen to it somehow <3

Elsa was first to wake up, smiling over at Hans then tapped his chest lightly. She had the best dream about her staying a few days over with Hans then she decided to just stay with him or have him come to Arendelle, she couldn't remember which happened.

"Good morning, sleepy head!" She smiled and brought herself on top of him, straddling her legs on both of his sides. He slowly opened his eyes to see Elsa straddling herself over him.

"You're energetic this morning." He mumbled, resting his hands lightly on her thighs then started rubbing his eyes to adjust to the morning light.

"I am! I've decided something." She said, not leaving any openings for Hans to speak. "I want to stay a few days longer. I want to stay here with you forever but I can't so the bonus of a few days will be nice for us and I'm sure no one would raise an eyebrow." She rambled, smiling eagerly at Hans.

"I'd love that," He smiled, pulling her down onto his chest into a bear hug. "And no one will raise an eyebrow at it." He agreed then released her out of the hug. "But, if we're going to make this happen then I have more work for me today. I'll send some of the shipments out early so when we're ready to leave I'll have nothing to worry about."

"Sounds good if I get the last of our few days to just you and I." She said, getting off of Hans and looked over to her closet and smiled at her new red dress from Hans. It was perfect, fit her perfect and looked lovely for their date. "Thank you so much for last night. Our night was perfect."

"The whole day was perfect." He smiled, bringing himself out of bed and stretched his arms out wide. "I have to go now but I can see you way earlier than dinner time."

"Good." She said, climbing out of bed and over to her closet, retrieving a black colored dress that had a small belt around her stomach, with lace flowers covering her chest and shoulders.

"Oh, wow. I love that dress. I wish I knew you had that." Hans smiled and walked over to her, wrapping his arm around her waist then dipped down for a kiss. After they kissed for a minute or two he was sadly reminded that he needed to go down to the docks. "I have to go now." He said, giving her a small frown then kissed her quickly.

"I know, and that's okay. This just means we get to see each other more over these next few days." She smiled, going behind her changing screen to get dressed for the day.

"I'll see you later." Hans called, shutting her patio doors behind him.

She took her time getting dressed then sat in front of her vanity, brushing out her hair, removing all of her knots and played with her hair, trying out different styles. She decided on pulling it into a half back, braiding the top part then let her curly hair fall down over her chest and shoulders.

While she sat there, applying makeup, she heard her bedroom door open.

"That was a fast day of work." She muttered, assuming Hans came into her bedroom.

"Pardon me?" A familiar voice spoke, closing the door behind him. Elsa dropped her mascara onto the vanity and turned to see her husband standing near the door. "Surprise." He muttered, looking around at her bedroom then rested his eyes on her new red dress. "You don't look too excited to see me... And that's a new dress." He said, pointing over in the direction of her dress.

"I... I didn't know you were coming?" She stammered, shocked that he was here in her bedroom when Hans was in there only a half an hour ago. She quickly stood and went over to the french doors, locking them just in case Hans would finish work early. "It is most definitely a surprise."

"I'm glad to hear that you can handle going across seas and do business. I also wanted to tell you that we'll be leaving in two days on the ship I came in on. I'll have to thank that one prince for bringing you here."

At that second she realized now what she wanted. She loved Hans, loved him with everything she could muster and now her husband was taking it all away from her. She hated Arden, hated their marriage and most of all hated that her time was cut short with Hans. She knew she had to nod her head, act like everything was okay then figure out a solution with Hans later.

~~~~~~

Hans came into Elsa's bedroom, unknown of Arden's surprise visit, and heard her crying and practically burst into her room.

"Elsa?" He asked, quickly shutting the door then came over to her in bed. She sat with her legs up to chest and a box of tissues sitting next to her, her light makeup running down her cheeks.

"Lock the door first." She said, sniffling lightly then rubbed her eyes with a tissue. "Hans," She sobbed, leaning against him when he came back. "Arden is here. He's taking me back in two days."

"What?! How did he get here without me even knowing? I've been at the docks all day." He asked, holding her tightly to his chest, feeling her body shudder.

"He came in only a half an hour after you left." She mumbled, pulling herself away from him to wipe her cheeks of the makeup and tried to stop crying. "I don't want to leave. I..." She choked on her words. She couldn't believe she was about to say it to him, realizing the reality of the situation. "I love you." She said, bringing more sobs out of her. She couldn't leave now. She didn't want to leave part of her heart behind and be unhappy for the rest of her life without Hans.

"I love you too, so much." He said, giving her a small smile and took a tissue, wiping her cheeks for her then laid her against his chest. "I will figure this out. I'll keep you somehow." He said. "He doesn't know about this does he?"

"No, heavens no." Elsa mumbled. "I kept calm until he left. I've been crying for the past hour, thinking about everything, mostly losing you and now that I know I love you, I'm terrified of losing you." She said, smiling to herself that she loved him. She had never loved a man and now here was her Prince Charming. "I don't know what to do. I leave in two days."

"I'll figure something out. I'm not letting you go without a fight." He said, going to burn out the candles in her bedroom then went back to hold her for the rest of the night until the morning brought them back into reality.

A/N:
