Hans...OfTheSouthernIsles

Hans Westergard || 27 || Lawyer (Stuck as a Paralegal) Handsome as the Devil and Twice as Clever

“But I’d still feel bad for you know, passing it on.” Anna admitted with a small frown as she turned to look at the television. It was weird for her to be sat here with him, it was almost as though she couldn’t comprehend it. They were together, or at least going to be together, and it felt like it wasn’t even happening.

Feeling his lips on her cheek caused another flush to spread over her cheeks, along with a small smile. “A sandwich sounds good…” She called out as she shuffled back into her bed and pulled the sheets over her body. A smile settled on her face as she watched Catfish, wondering how people could so easily be tricked.

“No, it’s alright, really,” he commented, dismissing the topic. He actually didn’t care if she got him sick. Usually, he was the type of person that kept sick people as far away from him as possible, but with Anna, it was like that wasn’t even a concern for him. Maybe he was just so deep into character that he had forgotten how awful it was to be sick. 

As the soup finished heating up, he was done making their sandwiches, and set about cleaning up the kitchen before serving up their food and heading back into the room. “Soup and a sandwich for you, my dear, and a sandwich for me. What did I miss?” he asked as he settled back in beside her and looked over at the tv. Watching Catfish with Anna was a bit ironic to him, and that was probably why he found it so amusing.

Belle sat beside him, setting her bags down before she looked up and grinned. “I have read it, but I’ve never met anyone else that has. Most of my friends were put off by how old it was, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.”

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

Hans couldn’t help but frown at her comment. “That’s really a shame. Old literature is probably some of the best stuff. Sure, the language is hard to decipher sometimes, but it’s better than Twilight.”

Aurora smiles at the man, blushing a little bit at being caught in the act of trying to see what he was reading. She didn’t mean to be rude, but she her curiosity just wasn’t letting her settle. She also was open to new books to read. “I just wanted to see your book. I’ve never read that, even though it is a classic.”

Hans took in the beautiful woman in front of him and smiled, the irritation on his face leaving with the change of expression. “It’s great, my favorite actually. I’ve always liked the classics.” He looked back at the book and then at her again. “Do you want to borrow it? I’ve read it so many times, I think I can part with it for a while.”

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

The field was one of Belle’s favourite places to go when she was on her break and needed some peace and quiet. When she saw someone else sat in what she usually deemed to be her spot, she couldn’t help but be curious, especially when she spotted a book in his hands. “Oh, well I was just wondering what you’re reading. I usually sit down here on my break, and when I spotted you with a book I couldn’t help myself.”

Hans looked at the cover of the book and tilted it toward her for her to see. “The Odyssey by Homer. Have you read it before?” he asked with a smile as he moved over in the grass. “Feel free to join me, I would hate for you to have to find a new place to sit on your break.”

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

Anna found herself moving her hands up to the sides of his neck, her stomach fluttering as she felt his lips move against hers. She couldn’t help but feel as though she was floating, maybe she even was. Anna wouldn’t be able to tell either way. She was sad when they separated, and her face flushed when he laughed.

“Well, I wouldn’t want you getting ill because of me.” Anna said, trying to sound reasonable. Trash TV? Her eyes lit up. “Catfish would be pretty good.” Anna admitted, she had started watching the show the previous day and she was kind of hooked. “I ate… yesterday. Afternoon time? Soup sounds nice, but I wouldn’t want to burden you.” Anna said as she tried to get up from the bed. Her face flushed again when he asked for a date, and she nodded. “That would be really good!”

Hans couldn’t help it, it was cute how flustered she got over him. It was just a kiss, but she was more flustered than he could remember her ever being before. He rolled his eyes at her and shook his head. “Nah, it’s alright. It’s not like I’ve never been sick before. I think I can handle a little cold. It’s cute how much you worry, though.” He nodded at her suggestion and flipped it to mtv. “Catfish sounds good to me.”

A frown tugged at Hans’ lips when she mentioned how long it had been since she ate. “Well no wonder you’re so sick still. I’m going to go get you some soup and I’ll be back. You stay, it’s not a burden.” He leaned over and kissed her cheek before rolling off the bed and sauntering into the kitchen to make her some food. He rummaged through the cupboards until he found a can of soup and dumped it into a pot to cook it up. “Do you want a sandwich too? I’m kind of craving a sandwich,” he called out as he rummaged through the fridge and occasionally stirred the soup.

That could either be Gretchen or Anna. Now she disliked Gretchen enough to make her potential suitor get lost and she was protective enough of Anna to do the same. Shock made it look as though she was thinking about where she last saw the girl. “Oh! I think I know who you are talking about. If you keep going down that way.” She pointed down a differing walkway. “You will pass a couple buildings at the pink one take a right. When you reach a lime green and purple building, you’ve gone too far. Now after you turn left, turn right at the yellow and green building. You’ll arrive at a orange and blue building and she should be in there.”

Hans frowned when she started to give him directions and he shook his head. “Hold on, say that again, I need to take notes,” he said quickly and pulled out his phone. She spoke too fast, and he couldn’t quite keep up. “Okay, so you said go that way and then when I get to the pink one, take a right? And then when I hit the green and purple one I’ve gone too far? But where do I turn left? I didn’t catch that part.” His brows furrowed as he typed out what he remembered her saying before looking up at her, still clearly confused.

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

Hans was seated at the base of a large tree, away from the crowds and tents, book in hand. It didn’t look all that impressive, if anything, it looked much like the bible would, except instead of ‘Holy Bible’ spelled out on the front, the gold letters read ‘The Odyssey’. Homer had always been one of Hans’ favorite authors and definitely his favorite epic poet. The sun streamed through the leaves of the tree, and there was a soft breeze that kept him from getting too warm. As he flipped the page, a shadow fell over the book, and he finished the line before looking up. “Can I help you?” he asked casually, though his tone was a bit clipped.

Anna could feel her heart pounding against her chest as the words left her lips. She hardly prepared herself for him to kiss her, but when he did she found her hands reaching up to his shoulders. They kissed again, and Anna felt a whole new burst of emotions as a smile played on her pink lips. Another sniff escaped her nose, and she pulled back from Hans. “You’re going to get sick now!” She squeaked.

Maybe that wasn’t the best idea, but she still grinned at him.

Hans smiled against her lips when she kissed him back. She was keeping him close and that made his heart swell. Which he was pretty sure he didn’t want happening, but it didn’t seem like he had much of a choice in the matter. Whe she pulled back and he hear her voice go up a few octaves, he laughed heartily. “Oh my god, you’re adorable. I think I can handle a little sickness. But it’s cute you’re worried about me,” he said with a laugh and leaned up to kiss her forehead before settling next to her on the bed again.

“How about we watch some trash tv? Do you want some soup or anything? When was the last time you ate? We can’t have you getting more sick just because you don’t feel like eating.” Hans looked over at her with a smirk and brushed her messy hair back from her face. “And I would like to take you on a proper date when you’re feeling better.”

“I can understand that. You want to have some sort of official job title.” Taran replied. He shook his head at the mans question. “No, I’m used to doing the dirty work. I mean, granted I came here thinking I was going to be apart of the show and found out I was only an understudy, but it gives me something to work for. Gives me a goal.” 

“Yes, exactly,” he said with an eager nod of his head. It was so easy to get into this character. And Taran believed him just as easily, it almost made him laugh. “So if you reach the goal, what happens? What about if you don’t reach the goal?”

Jack chuckled a bit. “I deal with lost kids, not lost adults. I think most of us assume that adults can find their own way around with all the maps and the ability to read.” He teased, smile on his face. “I’m Elsa’s assistant, technically. Mostly I just keep the kids entertained and help her like… change stuff around there every once in a while.” He explained casually. And that was what he enjoyed doing so why would it matter if it didn’t quite fit the job description?

“Have you looked at these maps?” he asked incredulously as he pulled a map from his pocket and tossed it to him. “It’s like they want us all to get lost. They’re useless pieces of trash.” Hans was more annoyed at the circus than anything else. “So you can do the whole ice, snow thing too?” he asked, wiggling his fingers as though mimicking using magic.

[winterdreamdell-blog]

Hans smiled over at her, and his smile grew into a grin at her expression. It amused him how easy it was to surprise her. She was so ignorant to the ways of flirting and relationships and it was endearing. A wave of relief washed over him when she reassured him that he wouldn’t have to get Elsa to like him, but a small part of him worried a little as to what made her so apathetic to her sister’s feelings.

Then again, it kind of made things easier for him. “So you like me then?” He asked with hint of teasing, shifting so he could look at her better. “No, I’m not interested in the TV right now. I wanna hear more about this interesting development. Were you planning on ever telling me? Or just leaving me to wonder endlessly if I needed to step up my game or back off?”

Anna felt her face flush up again as she glanced to look at him again. He was shuffling closer to her, and her heart was pounding suddenly. She wondered whether she should have invited him, maybe it would have been better to sleep on her own for a few hours. Just to get her head straight, if that was possible. “Maybe.” Anna shot him a small smile.

“Maybe I was uhm…” Anna paused, she wasn’t good at this. So she decided to just show him that she liked him, on a whim. Anna leant close to him, and lightly pressed her lips to his. It was awkward, and instantly her brain was spinning. She pulled herself back and began to fiddle with the sheets beneath her. “Was that okay? I hope that was okay…” She muttered nervously.

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

It was hard not to notice her flushed cheeks, especially when he'd grown so used to seeing them all the time. He wondered briefly if he'd ever get tired of seeing her blush, but he thought not. Hans actually found himself growing fond of Anna the more they spent time together, and while the manipulative part of his mind knew he probably shouldn't grow to actually like her, it seemed like the rest of his brain was disagreeing.

When she pressed her lips to his, he was almost too shocked to react. Almost. He kissed her back just before she pulled back, and he smiled at her murmured words. "It was good," he said softly, hoping to reassure her, and lifted a hand to brush her hair back from her face. He leaned in just as slowly as she had to give her a chance to push him away before he kissed her again.

[winterdreamdell-blog]

Hans laughed and shook his head before illustrating with his hands how high the stack of papers was. “A lot. But I hid about half of it in the drawers so it looks like I got through most of it.” He smiled over at her, though his smile faded a bit as she sniffled. “I’m sorry. If I’d known you were sick I would have been here every day making you soup and bringing you tea.” Was that…guilt he was feeling? Really? Over not being there when she had a cold? Well that’s kind of pathetic, he thought.

At her question, he shook off the guilt and shrugged a shoulder, drinking some more of his tea. “I figured your sister had gotten you to forget all about me. I get the feeling she doesn’t like me much. Or approve of me liking you. Not that I really care, but I guess I was kind of worried anyway.” He paused and made a face before speaking again. “I don’t have to make her like me do I?”

“Shit, that is a lot.” Anna would hate to have been stuck doing all that paperwork, in fact she was glad to have the week off because of her illness. She wasn’t sure that she could manage being chirpy and happy all the time. Anna raised an eyebrow at his comment, she was surprised to hear that he would be over so much.

“No, her opinion doesn’t matter right now.” Anna shook her head. “If I like someone, then I like someone.” Anna paused as she realised what she had actually said, she quickly stuffed a cookie into her mouth as she grabbed the tea and took a sip. Her ears were burning up this time. She coughed. “So uhm, television! Yes. We should put something on?”

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

Hans smiled over at her, and his smile grew into a grin at her expression. It amused him how easy it was to surprise her. She was so ignorant to the ways of flirting and relationships and it was endearing. A wave of relief washed over him when she reassured him that he wouldn't have to get Elsa to like him, but a small part of him worried a little as to what made her so apathetic to her sister's feelings.

I wanna hear more about this interesting development. Were you planning on ever telling me? Or just leaving me to wonder endlessly if I needed to step up my game or back off?"

[winterdreamdell-blog]

“Oh!” Hans exclaimed when she flung her arms around him. “It’s not problem, I didn’t feel like being among all of the paperwork anymore, and I really didn’t want to pass up the chance to see you again.” He hugged her back briefly and reached for his tea when she pulled back. It was warm, but not undrinkable. He was seemingly unbothered by her sudden closeness, but in all honesty, he had kind of enjoyed her being that close.

He pulled open the bag of baked goods and took a bite of one of the cookies before offering the bag to her and moving to settle in beside her. “So what was with the sudden text? You feeling okay? I’m not going to lie, I was kind of worried you didn’t want to talk to me anymore when I hadn’t heard from you.” Or that her sister had efficiently scared her off from him.

“How much paperwork did you have?” Anna asked curiously as she leant back and wiped the bottom of her nose with a small sniff. Anna took the bag from him and began to rummage around. A small frown crossed her lips as she sighed.

“Not really. I’m kind of ill. I thought, I’ll wait for someone to text me because I don’t want to bother anyone but… No one did.” Anna shrugged. She had spent the better part of a week wondering whether anyone really wanted to see her, or if they were all just hung up on her sister. It was funny how Elsa could be there for everyone else. “Why wouldn’t I want to talk to you?”

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

Hans laughed and shook his head before illustrating with his hands how high the stack of papers was. "A lot. But I hid about half of it in the drawers so it looks like I got through most of it." He smiled over at her, though his smile faded a bit as she sniffled. "I'm sorry. If I'd known you were sick I would have been here every day making you soup and bringing you tea." Was that...guilt he was feeling? Really? Over not being there when she had a cold? Well that's kind of pathetic, he thought.

At her question, he shook off the guilt and shrugged a shoulder, drinking some more of his tea. "I figured your sister had gotten you to forget all about me.

"I don't have to make her like me do I?"

Hans followed Taran to the Teapot Tent and shrugged a shoulder at his question. “Nothing much. I just kind of help where I can. I really like helping with the lighting guys for the acts, or Frozen Fjords. I help teach skiing sometimes. The ringleaders weren’t sure what to do with me but I really needed a job and they took pity on me.”

Hearing about the odd jobs made Taran smile a little. “That actually sounds like it would be kind of entertaining. To have all those odd jobs. And getting to work in all those different places. Do you enjoy it?” 

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

Hans shrugged a shoulder. "I mean yeah, it's pretty great, but I'd like to be actually doing one job you know? Like maybe have a career or something. What about you? Are you happy with what you do? It's kind of sucky having to do the dirty work that no one else wants to do."

hans-ofthesouthernisles:

“I’m sorry if I’m taking what you say the wrong way, but I’m wary of people, especially ones who treat me like I’m up to not good when they don’t even bother to get to know me first.”

“Well how about you look at it my way? My sister goes on a date and dtches it with a man that I don’t know at all. I was concerned, just in case. I trust her not to be stupid, but I wanted to make sure.”

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

"It wasn't a date, Elsa. I'm pretty sure we've been over this already. You do realise she's a perfectly capable adult right? And that you're not her mother? I really hope you don't give all of the people she talks to the third degree like this."

[havealittlefun-frost1]

hans-ofthesouthernisles:

Hans looked over at the other man, unimpressed by him. “You’ve been watching me and you didn’t bother to ask what was up? Offer to help at all? Great to know people here are useless,” he muttered with a roll of his eyes. “And for your information, I’m not a visitor. But if I was, I’d be less than impressed with your customer service and I’d definitely be having a chat with your boss.”

Jack just shrugged. “Plenty of people just like to wander around, it’s a circus, it just so happens that you’ve passed by this same area about three times in the time it’s taken me to eat an ice cream.” Which was now gone. “I’m not here to help people find their kids, not unless they’re in the Fjords. I don’t even know the whole circus yet myself so I don’t know how you expect me to help. But I will anyway, who’re you looking for?”

[hans-ofthesouthernisles]

Hans rolled his eyes again. "Usually that is cause for concern to an employee that actually gives a shit. What is it with people these days being so lazy?" It didn't even make a difference because Hans probably would have done the same thing as Jack and just watched the person look lost. "You work at the Frozen Fjords? What is it you do there?" He asked with interest. Though anyone who knew him would know it was fake interest simply for the sake of being nosy.

When Anna’s eyes next flickered open, she saw an extremely handsome face staring back at her. He stomach spun and her body froze as she stared right at his face, how quickly had he turned up. A smile spread across her lips, and she pulled herself up from the bed. “I didn’t think you’d come so quickly…” Anna quietly admitted as she looked over to the tea and cakes. Her eyes lit up and she leant forward to wrap her arms around his neck in a sudden hug.

“Thank you!” She squeaked, as she clung to his neck like a hanging monkey. Anna knew she had clung on a bit too long, and she embarrassingly pulled away from him to take another look at the cakes. Her heart pounded in her chest, how could anyone not like him?

“Oh!” Hans exclaimed when she flung her arms around him. “It’s not problem, I didn’t feel like being among all of the paperwork anymore, and I really didn’t want to pass up the chance to see you again.” He hugged her back briefly and reached for his tea when she pulled back. It was warm, but not undrinkable. He was seemingly unbothered by her sudden closeness, but in all honesty, he had kind of enjoyed her being that close.
