Hans walked to his desk and sorted his files when what he said finally sank in his mind. His face began to turn red and he slammed his head down to his table. He groaned in complete and utter embarrassment, to make matter worse than it already is, Kilbert and Gillian came near him with face-splitting grin.
"You told her!" Gillian exclaimed grinning so hard that Hans had to wonder about her current mental health. "I told you he'd tell her soon." Kilbert said nudging his companion. "You didn't even know about Hans feeling until Liesse and I told you about it so don't act high and mighty now Kil." She said looking quite smug at Kilbert's sheepish expression.
"Yeah. Fine but to think that Beaux advice to Annie would work…" Kilbert shook his head amused and Gillian had to agree with this statement of his. A defeated groan can be heard from Hans making both of them looked back at him. "Could you two go back to whatever it is you're doing before you decided to grace me with your presence?" Hans said loud enough for them to hear.
"Nope. Can't do that. Besides aren't you happy that it isn't Liesse who came in here and tease you? She's a lot worse than us." Gillian said and Hans had to suppress shudder at the thought of more blatant and embarrassing teasing. He couldn't deal with that. "Don't worry. She wouldn't come here to tease you right now. She's too busy with selling the record to everyone on the island and to the King of Orde, Annie's grandpa and the prince."
"Kil!" Gillian shouted looking extremely wary and uncomfortable when Hans lifted his head from the desk and looked murderous. Gillian and Kilbert share a look at each other and took a step back from Hans who glared at them venomously. "What. Did. You. Just. Said?" Hans asked slowly making Gillian and Kilbert cringed. "Uh…RUN!" Gillian shouted dragging Kilbert with her as she run away.
Hans slumped in his seat and growled deeply in his throat. Damn it! He thought trying to calm himself by breathing deeply. "Uh…sir…what's wrong?" Daniel spoke when he arrived and looked at his idol slumping in his seat. Hans turned to look at Daniel who in turn fidgeted in his place when his idol turned his attention to him. "Nothing."
"Is…is it about…your con-conf-confession to Annie-san?" Daniel asked stammering his question. Hans blushed a bit at the reminder that he indeed had confessed his feeling to Annie before he sighed forlornly when he remember that he hadn't receive a response yet from her. All this thought was temporary brushed off to the back of his mind when Daniel spoke once again. "Um…if…if you're wondering about how I…I knew, Liesse-san had told everyone in this island…and…and…she's…she's selling…the record…everyone…bought…it…" Daniel said losing his voice when he saw Hans glared at nothing.
"Daniel…could you fetch a few book from library. This is the list of books I may need." Hans said, writing a list of books and handed it to Daniel. When Daniel went away, Hans sigh and rummaged his hair in exasperation. He looks at his table and takes a few files for him to work on.
After a few minutes of trying and failing to focus on his work, he finally sighs and stood up from his seat. He stretches his tense limb and walk away from his desk when he met with Daniel. "Please put those books on my desk. I'm going out for a walk." Hans informed Daniel and continue to walk out from the headquarters.
Hmm…what should I do? If this went on, I'd not be able to finish my work. Well…I'll just ignore Liesse, Gillian and the others when they approach this subject…that's easy enough to be done…the main problem is Annie. I won't be able to concentrate without having some sort of response from her…Okay! I'll just ask her tomorrow. Hopefully she'll be able to respond… Hans thought finally sitting on one of the bench. Annie's face immediately comes to the front of his memories and Hans allowed himself to smile slightly and fondly.
A bright, content and rare smile in all its slightness. A smile full of love that's directed to a particular someone who's not there to see it. Hans's eyes slid shut still thinking about Annie and smiling at the same time. Anyone who's there could see his smile and smile back at him knowing the object of his thought. It's nice to be in love. Everyone thought suddenly wishing to see their loved ones. Hans stand up finally deciding to go back and start some of his work that didn't need much concentration to be done.
Finaaly! Sorry I took soooo looooooong. My parents decided that I need to study more therefore I'm not allowed to go to net and get some stuff done. Soooo sooooryy…please R & R… By the way does it seem to anyone that Hans is too OOC?
