A/N: Hi guys! for those of you who liked my "Hans: My Own Place" but wished he could have gotten together with Anna at the end, then here you go! Have fun with this, and its few chapters here and there to come! KISSES o3o/

I remember how it all happened. It's been so many years now that it's almost hard to believe, but it happened.

Aredelle has been saved, the summer is back, and I'm waking up on a ship deck for some reason, and my sword is in like a million pieces..

What just happened? I was going for Elsa, and then suddenly Anna appeared out of nowhere and...

Anna! I stood up frantically, recalling the horrifying image of seeing my precious princess turned to ice before my own eyes. My heart began to ache, and it took me a while to focus. I instantly cowered as I was confronted by a strange, smelly, man but then to my relief someone stopped him... it was her!

I sighed and began to smile, exclaiming, "Anna! Y-you're alive! But the curse... She froze your heart!"

She stormed up to me, but instead of the sort of passionate act of appreciation i had imagined, I received a massive punch in the nose, sending me soaring overboard and into the water.

I sputtered out the sea water and shook the salty liquid from my face, utterly confused, and before I knew it She yanked me back up by the collar and in a matter of moments she had her tongue halfway down my throat.

The gruff man coughed nervously behind Anna, his cheeks flushed. We finally separated and in her haste to stand up she almost dropped me back into the water, but then pulled me back up with help from the stranger/.

"What the heck was THAT?" I asked. Anna and giggled, "The punch was for trying to kill my sister! You big, dufus!" she slapped me on the chest, making a face at me. Suddenly Elsa approached from the sidelines, I was instantly ready to attack but then stopped when I saw the way Anna leaped into her arms, in an embrace.

"The kiss was for only doing it to save me... but.." She pulled away from Elsa and whispered, "Elsa did a good enough job with that already."

The gruff man snorted and commented to me, "It was a pretty dramatic scene, you totally missed it."

Soon after we all went back on to land, and the events that transpired afterwards were a bit of a blur. That annoying Duke was banished from the kingdom and all trade with them was cut off... Good, I thoguht to myself.

Kristoff, the now-royal-ice-harvester was given board in the castle whenever he pleases and was commended for his heroic acts in guiding, protecting and caring for Anna. However being a bit of a misanthropist he decided that he'd try to keep a low profile, despite happily taking up the boarding arrangements.

The snowman enjoyed summer, amazingly, and the castle gates remained open. And now, with all that done and finished there was one thing left...

"Hansel Roderick Westerguard, I am ASHAMED and APALLED with your brash actions and the mess you've made!" My Mother scolded. She had taken the risk and sailed all the way into the frozen harbours of Arendelle to see if I was okay, only to read the local headlines that I had attempted to personally execute the queen in a confused rage... not to mention the part where they suspected that I might actually have planned it all along, just to get the kingdom, and the part they overexaggerated about me and my heat of the moment proposal to Anna... and you know, if I ever FIND the guy who wrote this article, I WILL have him executed, I SWEAR..

"N-n-no M-mother, I-I, this is all just a m-misunderstanding.." I carefully pleaded, but the cold, sharp and sunken in woman was not ready to hear my pleas, "SILENCE, you fool! I should have you HANGED for this insolance!" She hollered.

"Way to represent the kingdom mother.." my brother Fredrick muttered into my ear, prompting me to snort involuntarily, but despite my effort to cover it up my mother seemed to notice.

Grabbing me roughly by my tie she hissed, "I expected no less from you though! you were always the bratty runt of the litter..." before she threw me down.

She stalked away, her emaciated body hunching satisfied with herself.

Anna stood to the side with wide eyes, her mouth a little ajar.

"WELL! Elsa may have the powers, but clearly your MOTHER is the REAL ice queen, what say you, Hansel?" she teased, now knowing my full name. Fredrick chuckled and toussled my hair annoyingly.

"Ugh... of all the brothers they brought, I'm glad it was you Ricky," I admitted though. of all the people I missed the most, it was him. He, although very busy, always had time for me deep down.

"I'm so glad you're safe, brother." He said.

I introduced them to each other, Anna and Fredrick, and we made our way to the castle gates.

"But seriously, Hans, why would you ask her to marry you if you only knew her for a few hours?" he insisted.

I rubbed my face and Anna and I exchanged glances that read "we'll never live this down, will we?"

"Well, ...uh... I guess it was just..."I tried but no words would come to me. Anna was even less eloquent.

"True love?" We blurted out in unison, earning a deadpan expression from my brother.

"Hans, you're an idiot..." He commented.

"If it was true love then why didn't your kiss break the spell?" he continued to prod.

Actually, as I looked at Anna and she looked at me, we hadn't actually thought of that. For sure my love for her was real, I could feel it in my gut and my soul, and so could she.

"I don't know... I don't get it. I really do, I mean, we.."

Anna placed a finger to my lips and stated her theory, "I think, maybe, even though it isn't TRUE love that doesn't make it not real... the spell just required... like, i dunno, a different 'species' of love. That's all"

My brother had a good look at her and rolled his eyes, "In any case, I can already tell you two were meant for each other. Come on, let's go see how Elsa is doing trying to convince the wicked witch of the southern isles not to have you executed."

"No, you go without us. I, really don't want to be anywhere ear her right nw." I firmly stated.

Taking a bow he left and then Anna and I linked hands.

This had been the first time we had shared in peace like this since our little date during the coronation ball. It felt good to feel her hand under my bare fingers, as i ran my thumb up and down her knuckles and relished in the warmth that engulfed us from that spot alone. No ice cold skin, no snowflake patterns and glittering frost.

"I really thought I'd lost you." I said as we sat on the balcony where the night had really gotten interesting only days before.

"Me too," she said. she cuddled up by my chest and rested her head on it, embracing herself with my arm around her waist.

"I hope your mother lets you off the hook in anycase." she said.

"Yeah, well if anything happens, we can always ask Elsa to 'accidentally' freeze her into a block of ice that casually slipped into the fjords..." I darkly joked.

Anna sat up instantaneously and began slapping my arms, and scolding me.

"What? hahaha, we could make it look like an accident! no one would have to know!" I continued

"I would know, Hansel!" she retorted

"Yes, but I've got twelve brothers, it's about the old hag retired anyway!" I said with mock seriousness.

Too tired and sighing, she rested her head back against my chest and I embraced her again.

Hey Hans?" she asked.

"Mmm?" I was busy focussing on the spot where her white streak used to be, happy to see it's strawberry blonde color coming back in full color, and studying each individual hair of her soft and perfect head. I was so busy counting the freckles and eyelashes on her face that I actually totally missed what she was saying.

In fact until I was in the middle of staring at her perfectly white teeth and then noticed her lips were moving I had completely not heard anything she jut said.

"What?" I asked, my focus returning to her eyes. Her eyes widened and her mouth hung ajar, raising a brow at me.

"Are you even listening to me?" she accused, placing her hand on her hip.

"hehe... yes?"

She sighed and rolled her eyes, getting up and dragging me along with her.

hours passed and we retraced our steps from the previous night. I was actually surprised at how much detail I had missed within and outside the castle and village, which was all a blur at the time.

Taking me further into the center of town we began browsing around until we had bought about seventeen things from the local shops and returned to the castle, with about as much grace and dignity as a mule and a monkey, the mule being myself of course as she proudly ode on my shoulders, much to my dismay, but hey! I wasn't lying when I said I love crazy.

In the end my mother actually decided to let me off, with the condition that i return to the Southern Isles for the remaining years to complete my millitary training, and then she would allow me to return to Arendelle if I pleased.

Upon my eventual and completely certain return, I was accepted as a citizen and now here I sit on the same balcony as before, watching the sunset with Anna and I think to myself, after all those years on the outside looking in, I can truly say that this is the most alive I've ever felt. This is the first time I've ever had a true place in life where I was accepted, and wanted and needed.

All those years wondering if this was it, if being a useless spare and a forgotten soul was all I ever was to be, I finally realise that doesn't matter anymore.

"Anna," I began, she had grown her hair out a little longer after those events and tonight was wearing it loose, the honey coloured curls and waves falling so perfectly as he tuned to look my way, "Yes?" she asked.

"Can I say something... crazy?" I began, a smirk threatening to paint my face.

She grinned and narrowed her eyes at me, "I love crazy!'
