Pt 2 – Chapter Three

'Well don't you look lovely. Going anywhere special?'

'Other than the dining room?' Elsa laughed, she had definitely become more relaxed and herself again over these past few weeks.

'But surely a gown so beautiful as that, and an even more stunning Queen deserves to be going somewhere more special than the dining room?' Hans said, feigning great shock.

'Well why don't you surprise me then.' Elsa smiled, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

'Oh I will.' Hans smirked back. And as soon as Elsa was gone he literally sprinted down to the kitchens to talk to a few of the servants.

Elsa laughed softly as she watched him from around the corner, as he ran out of the room. He had been acting sort of different lately, well, he was acting more himself, but he was being more... Flirtatious.

Elsa smirked, but it wasn't a mocking or a mean smirk, but just a satisfied smirk. She was proud of herself, and she went up to her bedroom for the rest of the evening, patiently waiting for the Prince's knock at her door.

Knock – knock - knock-knock-knock. Anna's knock.

'Come in.'

'Any reason I've seen the man rushing around the castle like a lunatic? Is he high or drunk?'

Elsa giggled at her sister. 'I don't think so.'

'Well he was running about the place, and when he went into the garden, he stopped to smell and examine every flower. And I mean every single damn flower that was in the garden. I was watching him for about half an hour!'

'How peculiar.' Elsa bit back her grin.

My plan is working.

Anna soon left, and a little while later there was another knock at her door.

Knock-knock-knock.

'Elsa went to the door and opened it.'

Hans smiled at her, and gave her a pretty flower.

Elsa smiled warmly at him, it seemed that she was trusting him again, and she enjoyed his company, whether this was a mistake or not was unknown to Elsa.

'Anna tells me you spent half an hour picking this out for me?' Elsa inquired.

She saw a blush creep onto the Prince's face, as he said quietly, 'I was trying to find one as pretty as you, but I couldn't.'

Elsa blushed, he had been complimenting her more and more lately. 'You're just flattering me.' She gave an embarrassed laugh.

'Whatever you say Elsa... But I don't believe you.' He grinned. Hans extended his hand, and she took it.

He lead her through the castle, and out onto a balcony. The evening summer air was warm, and Hans pulled a chair out for Elsa.

Hans had set up a small table on a balcony not unlike the one he had sat on with Anna only weeks beforehand, but he hadn't given that a second thought.

There was a red table cloth on the table, and candles were lit.

After they had eaten, Hans took Elsa's hand and they walked across to the other side of the balcony and sat on the ledge. Elsa was becoming more accustomed to the feel of Hans' hand in her own, and his touch, and she didn't reconcile or flinch at all now.

They sat there in a content silence for a few minutes, before Hans carefully cupped the back of Elsa's head and closed the distance between their lips.

Elsa pulled away after a few moments, surprised that she hadn't turned her head away, or broken the kiss straight away.

'I'm sorry.' She said softly.

'No, it's okay. I shouldn't have...' He trailed off.

The silence was awkward and tense, and they both wanted the other one to say something to lighten the mood.

Neither of them did.

Elsa stood up suddenly. 'I should probably be going now.' She turned and walked towards the door. 'I had fun, thank you.' She gave him a small smile and then she was gone.

Hans put his head in his hands and groaned.

I just had to kiss her. Why do I have to ruin everything? It was all going okay, and now it's going to be awkward. Great going, Hans.

Elsa was back in her bedroom, she'd locked the door, she had vowed to Anna that she wouldn't lock the door. But Elsa highly doubted that Anna would come knocking again this evening. Elsa changed into her night gown and took the flower out of her hair, she twirled it in her hands for a while before laying it on her dressing table and climbing into bed.

Elsa didn't sleep for hours that night, she just kept replaying the evenings events over in her head.

'Well don't you look lovely.'

'And an even more stunning Queen?'

'I was trying to find one as pretty as you, but I couldn't.'

'No, it's okay. I shouldn't have...'

No. You should have. Wait, what?

Elsa was even more confused about her feelings than Hans was about his own. This hadn't been part of her plan, teaching Hans to love hadn't incorporated Elsa herself falling for him. How could she be falling for him? After everything he did?

He left Anna to die. He broke her heart. He almost brought his sword down on your back. He left you. He was willing to kill you to not upset his father. His father's praise is everything to him. More than you could ever be to him. What you had was just some silly childhood thing, it never meant anything. That ring that you keep in a pouch in your jewellery box doesn't mean anything. And it never did. Why do you keep dwelling on this kiss? That didn't mean anything! Just think of what he's been saying, he's just physically attracted to you. The kiss meant nothing, he was just happy to get to kiss a pretty girl.

But it had meant something. And that was something that even Elsa couldn't live in denial about.

A/N: aww they had their first kiss! And Elsa can think like that aaaaallll she wants ;)

I'm really starting to like Helsa (like almost otp!)
