Kiss on the Lips: Hans x Elsa
Walking into her office, Elsa slowly pulled the pins from her hair shaking it so the braid fell loose while massaging her scalp.
Placing the pins and her crown down on her desk, she bi-passed the pile of papers that seemed to linger there forever and instead sat down on the love seat in front of the fire.
It was a low fire built only on the off chance that she might come there after the party. And after the night she had had the low flames in the darken room suited her needs exactly.
A small sigh escaped her as she stared into the embers, her mind already returning to the source of her troubles.
The council and the merry string of men they had thrown at her.
Resting her chin on the palm of her hand, her elbow braced against the arm of the loveseat, Elsa mumbled to herself." What on earth am I suppose to do?"
" I believe the plan is for you to get married, your Majesty."
Jumping a little at the sudden voice, Elsa turned towards the owner of it.
Pulling a face at him, Elsa said sarcastically. "Hello Hans, please do come in and give me your opinion on my life problems."
Taking a seat next to her, Hans crossed his legs at the ankle and lacing his hands together over his stomach gave her a wry smile before turning his gaze to the ceiling.
"You know the court and the other royals aren't going to be satisfied with just Anna getting married, your Majesty."
Folding herself up into a ball, Elsa made a noise of discontent before commenting. "If you are going to advise me on my love life, Hans you might as well address me by name."
For a moment Hans couldn't catch his breath from the rush of emotions that offhanded comment caused in him. Then with a sharp inhale he really hoped she didn't notice, he answered her back glibly. "Why thank you Elsa. I do believe I will take you up on that."
Letting out a small laugh, Elsa turned her face towards the ceiling as well and said. "So what do you think I should do Hans?"
"About getting married? I suppose that depends on if you want to marry for love, or if you want to marry for political ties."
"How about if I don't want to get married at all?"
Turning to look at her profile, Hans asked. "May I inquire as to what has turned you off the idea of wedded bliss?"
Keeping her eyes firmly focused on the ceiling, Elsa swallowed hard as dreams she couldn't indulge tried to flood her mind and with a quick shake of her head abruptly changed the subject.
" So if I was to marry for political reasons who would you suggest?"
Hiding his displeasure at this question, Hans replied. "Well there are three royals who would be good matches age wise and who would also be useful connections for the Kingdom. The Duke of Claire-Wind, Prince Lars of the Rivers Kingdom and Prince Samuel of Sands-Tree."
Somehow hearing Hans rattle this list off so easily caused a sharp pang in her chest one she was only able to push away with effort. "How do you suggest I pick between them since you seem to have this all figured out?"
"There are a few ways to go about that actually. You could flip a coin. A little tricky with three options but doable." A soft giggle was Elsa's answer to this suggestion.
"You could pick by who you think is the most attractive, at this Elsa let out a soft snort, you could go by money or you could simply kiss them."
"Kiss them! What on earth would that prove?!"
"It would prove which one you have chemistry with your Majesty."
"Elsa, Hans I said to call me Elsa. And what does chemistry matter in a political marriage?"
"If there is no love between you there should at least be attraction. Makes having children easier."
"Hans! You overstep!" Elsa snapped her cheeks burning red as she jolted out of her relaxed pose to look at him head on.
Staring back at her, Hans gave her a regretful smile and replied. " I apologize, Elsa, I meant no offense. Would you like me to go?"
Fidgeting with the end of her braid, Elsa turned away and said in a low tone. "No, I would prefer you stay."
"As you wish, Elsa. Shall we change the subject?"
"What if I don't know what chemistry feels like? Then what?"
Leaning closer to her, Hans gave her a curious look and said. "Are you trying to tell me that you have never been kissed before?"
Flipping around, Elsa started a little when she realized how close they were to each other and leaning back a little stammered out. "If I am?"
Hans said nothing his bright green eyes studying her face with intensity, then ever so slowly he lifted his hand to cup her cheek and leaning forward paused just before his lips touched hers. In a hoarse voice he whispered."Please?"
Feeling as if every nerve in her body had been lit on fire; Elsa said not a word in return, meeting his lips with her own. For just one moment she ignored all the worries and voices saying she shouldn't,instead focusing on the feel of his lips against hers, the texture of his hair beneath her fingers and the spicy scent of him that seemed to flood her senses.
And then the moment was over.
Hans drew back his eyes meeting hers with a look of hopeless longing for a split second. Then he turned away, getting to his feet he bowed slightly and whispered in a voice almost to low to hear. "Elsa, I..." Breaking off, his hands clenching into fists by his sides he strode away not looking back at her even once.
Left alone on the love seat, Elsa curled herself up into a ball once more and burying her face in her knees, let the tears that sprung to her eyes flow as she called herself every type of a fool.
For only a fool would fall in love with the one man they can not have.
