The Future King

Knock knock knock, rang Hans' knock throughout the hall. He waited a moment before opening the door. As he creaked it open slowly he was met with a typical scene. Elsa asleep on her desk, the fire still crackling and a pile of papers waiting to be reviewed next to his love, her hand resting on top of the pile. Smiling gently he walked over to her and scooped her up gently. Carrying her down the hall he smiled and kissed her forehead. He, unlike Elsa, was a night owl. He loved staying up late into the wee hours of the morning, after everyone else was asleep. Its when he could focus the best, and really think. However, Elsa liked to wake up before everyone else, that was her time. As he lay Elsa down in her bed, and pulled the blankets up around her he smiled, an idea creeping into his head.

Leaving the room he walked back to Elsa's study. Walking over to the desk he sat down. Noticing the impeccably organized system Elsa had; not much different than how he would arrange it, he smiled and picked up the first page. After reviewing the state of the kingdom, he began to read through the documents. One by one he thought through what would be best for Arendelle, and then wrote down his recommendation.

Hours later, he had finished. He made sure everything was organized how Elsa seemed to like it, and that all his recommendations were laid in a place where she would see them. Then with a smile and a sigh he stood, extinguishing the fire and leaving the room. Arriving at his chambers he suddenly realized just how tired he really was. Not even bothering to undress, he collapsed into his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning when Elsa awoken she went through her usual routine, eventually ending in he study. As she sat down, dreading the hundreds of documents she had to review, she noticed a new piece of parchment on her desk. Picking it up she began to read,

My Love,

I know how stressful all this is for you, so I thought I could help out. I took my knowledge of your kingdom as well as my experience as Prince, to determine what I believe will be best for Arendelle. I understand if you don't follow what I laid out, but I hope this at least helps you when you make your decisions.

Love you,

Hans

Elsa smiled and began to read the work that Hans had done the night before. Briefly reviewing the documents, she quickly decided that everything Hans had done would be the best path for Arendelle. Smiling she realised she had finished her work in half the time it would normally take her. As she walked towards Hans chambers, she also realised that Hans would not only be a wonderful husband, but a wonderful King.

Now it was Elsa's turn to knock on Hans door, creaking it open to see him asleep in his bed. Smiling, Elsa walked over and crawled into his bed, sneaking in between his strong arms. As she waited for him to wake, she studied his face. His strong defined jaw line, his gentle eyelashes and elongated face. He was so handsome in Elsa's mind. As she studied his face, she too eventually, fell back into a light sleep.

It wasn't until Hans awoke, that she also awoke again. As Hans' eyes fluttered open, he paused confused. Realising who was in his bed he smiled and kissed Elsa's cheeks, effectively waking her. The two smiled at each other for a good while. "Thank you," Elsa eventually whispered. "Anytime, my love." Hans replied, staring into the depths of Elsa's eyes.

With all of Elsa's work done, the two had hours to spend together, which they spent lying in Hans' room, whispering and laughing. As it came time for Elsa to attend her first meeting of the day, she smiled. She was now confident in her choice for the future King of Arendelle. So confident even, that she invited Hans to join her, ready to introduce him to her royal advisors. After all, if Hans was to become king, he would be working very closely with all of these people.
