Falling For You- Through the Snow

My hands immediately flew up, ready to freeze his heart as I had Anna. But his eyes showed something I never expected them to show. Remorse. And my heart actually felt his pain.

''Queen Elsa, I beg for your forgiveness. You don't have to forgive me-''

''And I don't. Probably never will.'' I replied. My hands fell limply by my sides, and yet I actually saw him walk towards me in small steps as you would approach a wild animal, trying to soothe me. A small smile escaped my lips. ''But I promise I won't bite, if you promise not to try to kill me.'' His eyes lit up, and he laughed slightly.

''It's a deal.'' He replied almost immediately. I raised my eyebrow, not entirely sure whether to trust him or not. However, he noticed this and sat down on the snow. ''You're wondering how I agreed to you so easily? Without a shadow of a doubt, Elsa? I can tell you why. Because in the dungeons, I realised I took my anger out on the wrong person. You and your sister, you two were supposed to be inseparable, but I heard Anna telling me about how you never even came out to see her, it reminded me of me and my brothers. I saw something in her eyes. Sorrow, hurt, perhaps anger, but then I told myself: You aren't my brothers. You would never shut her out for fun. You were simply trying to protect her. But nobody saw that, lest of all Anna.'' He paused, as though checking I was following him, ''and I thought that as an opportunity to rule a kingdom. To please my own brothers, who deemed me as unfit to be a king? Yes, that was why I did that, but you, you saw through me, didn't you?''

''I guess I did, but that doesn't explain how you've proven you've changed. You are only telling me that you did it because of your brothers.'' I replied, sitting down myself.

''And after Anna had told me I was the only one with a frozen heart, I actually felt a sting of pain, right here-'' he pointed to his heart, ''- which showed me what I had to do. I had to prove myself worthy not to them, but to you and to your sister. Because-'' his tone was pleading as he grabbed my hands, ''I really want to be a good guy.'' My heart felt it's on sting of pain. I held his hands back.

''I…. I don't know Hans.'' I told him. His face fell, and he began to walk away.

''I'm really sorry Elsa.''

''I know, I just—it's hard to actually trust you again.'' I replied.

''I guess I…. Uh, should go back home.'' He pointed up, to a tree, with only a blanket covering it. A gasp escaped my lips.

''You fell off of the tree?'' I asked, giggling softly.

''Yeah…'' His cheeks turned pink.

''And you had the nerve to tell me off?'' I asked, raising my eyebrows.

''Because you fell from merely walking, Snow Queen,'' He replied, beginning to climb up his tree. I sighed, shaking my head.

''Come with me.'' I giggled, leading him to the castle. He offered his arm, which I took with a little hesitation.

''Where…. are we going?'' He asked.

''To the castle. Everyone's waiting for me. Anna, she's getting married…..'' This comment makes Hans erupt into laughter.

''To a dashing king of a nearby kingdom?''

''No, actually, um—'' I bite my lip, slightly embarrassed, ''an ice harvester. The official ice master and deliverer of Arendelle.'' His eyes widened.

''Ice harvester? '' He echoed.

''It's true love!'' I retorted crossing my arms in protest. He chuckled.

''You sound like Anna.''

''She is my sister.''

''I never knew that!'' He exclaimed, sarcasm dripping off of him.

''Shut it, Princey.'' I elbowed him in the ribs.
