Author's notes: Hello guys! Well, I think I should introduce myself since it is my first story on this site. My name is Didjey Disantales, and I am critic. Few years ago I was working in few newspapers, blog posts. My job was reviewing fan stories. After disagreement with editor, I quit (I was too strict to his liking). Still, I often read stories on this site and review them. Recently, though, I saw 2 wonderful stories by an amazing writer. Author's name is SarahRapunzel, and her two stories are "Warm hugs" (complete) and "Warm hugs 2" (Under development). I am usually a very strict critic (I never game a score bigger than 7, often not even finishing the story :D), but her story just blew me away. I never thought it would happen, but I gave her first story 10 out of 10! I was so fascinated by her story, so after her permission, was allowed to explore Hans' past. This story is part of "Warm hugs" universe, and I hope you will like it. However, I highly recommend you to read Warm hugs first. Cheers, and enjoy!

Chapter 1.

Good idea...

Hans never thought it would happen. Not in a million years. Becoming king of Arendelle by marrying Queen Elsa? After he attempted to kill her and her sister? If someone told him it would happen a year ago, when his so-called father King Richard of Southern Isles sent him to Arendelle to get punishment- Hans would send that man to check his meds. Now, he is in love with Elsa, has wonderful sister-in-law, albeit quirky and babbly, is friends with Kristoff, and even closer friend with Eugene. Hans met Eugene on his wedding ceremony and since then they became best friends. Just like Hans, Eugene had rocky past, but managed to become a hero by saving Rapunzel, and Hans felt the same way after experiencing such an excruciating adventure with Elsa a year ago. "Elsa..."-thought Hans, his thoughts drifting to Queen of Arendelle. After reading her parents' letters she showed him, he was touched by her parents love-something he didn't have, at least from his cold-hearted father-and when Elsa asked Hans to give her some time before moving into same room, he agreed. Now, he wasn't to get up, though. Every day, just before the sunrise, Hans was waking up to take a walk through castle or gardens, depending on weather. He knew that soon fatigue of being a King would set in, and thus his early morning's walks would get limited. "Time to get ready"-thought Hans, and got up. Getting himself dressed wasn't difficult-he may once have been a Prince of Southern Isles, but he was stripped of his title after his evil actions and had to live as a commoner ever since. Just before the wedding, Hans had to return to his homeland in order to get his title back-for a week- so he could marry Queen Elsa. His coaxing helped him in his mission and after returning to Arendelle, he married Elsa.

Without a single sound, he got out of his room quickly. No need in meeting anyone at such an early hour, he thought. When he was passing Elsa's room, he stopped. He was unsure whether he should peek in, or not. Curiosity won over him, though. When he opened the door, he saw Elsa reading a book. Elsa looked at Hans and smiled. Hans was unsure-was it because she was happy to see him, or he had an amused look on his face.

-Morning bird struck again.-Elsa said with a wink.

-Again?

-You think you are the only one who gets up early?-Elsa said with a smirk.-I am a Queen, if you don't remember. I get up early every day to read letters from foreign kingdoms or our people. Moreover, I also need to think about trade negotiations as well. But don't worry-soon you will be doing the same thing. Being a king has its own cons and it will be interesting to see you cope with your new position as king.

-Are you trying to scare me?-Hans laughed.

-No,just warning you . Anyway,why are you getting up so early?

-I like to think,and with Feisty Pants around every day,there is not much time left for my privacy.

Elsa grinned."You sound just like Kristoff! What do you think about,anyway?"

-About you...

-So nice!

-My father..

-Not so nice...

-My brothers...

-Ugh. Did you really have to ruin my mood?-She put her head into pillow-Anyway why do you even think of them? Do you love them?

Hans looks at Elsa with a silent glare and an expression:"Are you kidding me?''

-I guess not. Hmm,let me think... I know! You should tell me everything you think about!The same was with me- after being reunited with Anna, I also struggled with my thoughts of past. Anna offered me to spill it all. Once I did it,I never had anything disturbing on my mind anymore.

-Well... I guess I could give it a try...

-Don't worry, everything will be okay!-Elsa looks at a clock which shows 8 am.-Wow! For how long did we talk?! It is time for breakfast! You can announce your decision during it!

-Actually, I was planning to tell my story only to you, no one else...

-Did you? Sorry, but Anna should also be a guest! If not, you know she will never forgive me!

-Okay. You get ready, my dear. I am also going to return to my room.

Elsa chuckled and after saying goodbye, was left alone in her chambers. She quickly got dressed and without waiting a second went to do something she always loved-waking Sleeping Beauty up!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elsa got to Anna's chambers pretty fast. She knew that Kristoff was still living in another room, so she kne it would be easier to wake Anna up. When she tried to open the door, however, she found out it is locked.

-Great! What should I do now? Create an ice key? Hmmm...-While thinking she sees someone who can help her-Olaf!

-Hey, Olaf!

-Good morning, Elsa! Do you want a warm hug? You know I am always ready to give it away, so if you need it, jut ask me!

-Great! For now, though, how about your nose?

-My nose?

-Remember you told me how you found Anna when she was all cold...

After that everything was easy. Elsa thanked Olaf and entered her sister's chambers. Unsurpriingly, everything was a mess. Queen chuckled. When she finally emerged from this chaos, she saw her sister on the bed, loudly snoring. Elsa smiled:"If you try, Anna, you may win a competition for the highest snore, you know."-she thought. Elsa didn't want to do it, but knew that her baby sister was doing the same 15 years ago. Time for revenge!

-Anna, Anna, wake up!-Elsa was laughing and trying to get her younger sister off the bed.

-Go away, Elsa... Go back to sleep...-Anna was replying sleepily.

-But the sky is awake-so I am awake-Elsa lunged at Anna who groaned-So we have to play!

-Go play by yourself...-said Anna, but couldn't push her sister off the then decided to use her strongest weapon yet...

-Do you wanna listen to Hans' story of his childhood?-Elsa grinned as Anna jumped off the bed, sending Elsa backwards. Anna exclaimed:"Sorry, Elsa, are you alright? I didn't mean to... I was just... you know... excited to listen to children's story of Hans... I mean story of Hans' children... Oops! What I meant to say was Hans' story of childhood! Yay! I said it correct! I did,Elsa, didn't I?

Elsa laughed. Her sister could never fail to amuse her. Without waiting for help, she got up and hugged Anna with all her might. Anna hugged her back. She could never get tired of it.

-Now, breakfast is ready. Fast, before Hans decides not to talk about his children!-grinned Elsa and started helping Anna getting decent.

Hans didn't think it was a good idea anymore. He was ready, and was walking towards the dining room, absentmindedly. He was not afraid he would get lost-he did it million times, and every time he got to his destination safely. Well, not every time, he thought. Sometimes, he didn't. Okay, okay-he agreed-many times. Enough?-he asked his inner voice. He didn't like the idea of party, but what could he do? Elsa was interested, and with Anna also in the middle, there was no way out of this one. Sighing, he reassured himself:"Thankfully, only Anna and Elsa will be listening. Phew, I am lucky no one else knows about it". And with a sheepish smile, he found that he was lost, again.
