Some stuff i wrote for hansweek on tumblr trope : self-care
He didnt wanted to do it at first. But then the pleasure was so high that he didnt bother at all. After all if Alphonse didnt began the idea would have never cross his mind.
Hans was listening to his 12th brother praising himself over and over again in front of a bunch of men and women in a part of the royal castle while remembering the memory of last night.
...
He was in the royal garden alone painting when suddenly an unplesant person come to visited him. His most dumb but also extremely jealous last oldest brother who was only older of one year but still acting as if he was 10 years older.
Hans still was surprised at what there was in him to makes others people jealous but this one was having a big inferiority complex toward him for some reasons and that was the case since there were very little. Maybe his huge mommy issues added to his daddy issues where the problem.
" Hans you painting is beautiful are you sure this is you who did that ?" He laughed vicious as always.
"Well , last time i check this is me who is painting right now not my mysterious hidden twin brother " he answered without bothering looking at him.
...
Now he was there all giggling in front of a bunch of men and women when it was like he had stabb him in the stomach.
Alphonse was holding his drawing in his own disgusting dumb Hands after stealing it from him last night. Perphaps when he was sleeping in the stable because he discovered "the little joke" only this morning. The little thief had act very fast with help for sure and was now taking all the glory for his own work he had passed weeks on it.
" your highness this is pure GOLD you are really good !" He heard a woman tell with exentricity. Hans intuition was making him believe it was one of those women who hoped gaining some powers by seducing the princes of the southern isles even tought there were nearly all married it was well know the prince didnt marry for love.
"Thank you " he heard his brother or the little usurper to be more fair , said pround having no problem lying even when he was standing right next to him. Hans force a smile looking at the situation in front of him powerless.
" you see Hans you should takes some time to do something good except trying to steal kingdom" he said after noticed him.
He laughed with the whole bunch of men and women with him. Hans force a smile again at this unfair humiliation. He decided to begin his fair revenge that he had just prepare this morning.
"Of course i should totally do awesome things like you brother but i fear i m so dumb" he said faking a smile
He continued " i m curious brother...what kind of paper did you used for your painting ? " Hans tried to hide a smirk when he saw alphonse panicked.
"Well i found him in the center of the town..."
" yes...but which one i mean there are different kind ?"
" well who cares...stop asking boring question Hansy !"
Hans bites his lips nervously trying to not insult him right know but if he told the truth who will beleive him or just want to beleive him ? But just he was having so much fun right know. So he continue the little game
" i m sure these men and women are interest in what inspired you to draw this beautiful painting ?" He asked again this time with an extremely force smile.
" oh yes !" Asked a man
"Your highness what inspired you to paint this beautiful painting !"
Oh how delicious it was ! Alphonse was not panicking this time he was literraly sweating ! Hans - 1 Alphonse-0
" well...i like the dock at early morning"
" thats all ?doesnt it represent something for you ?" Hans asked spountanous.
" well...it represent docks stop with your dumb question Hans !"
The youngest prince move closer from his painting " Well me i see freedom and even maybe an escape from a too much large number of sibling" this time the men and women laughed with him.
" well sorry to burst your bubble Hans but i didnt paint that with that intention..." he smirked.
"Really ?" He still asked with his force smile hiding his anger.
Suddenly they all jumped expect for him when they hear a loud noise coming from the next room from the castle. Hans tried to prevent a laugh , now his true revenge was gonna begin and Alphonse was gonna paid .
The king himself intered in the room he was not angry he was furious. The handsome gene of the Westergaard family were having a hard time at the sight of his very very very red face. The king of the southern isles was now not looking like a lion like he love comparing himself but a big furious dragon.
His hair were messy and he was so angry that some men and women leave the place. No one literraly no one wanted to meet the king wrath only the princes didnt bother at all there were since a long time used to their father mood swings.
" WHO IS THE BRAT THAT WASH HIS PAINT BRUSH IN MY COFEE !"
That time it was impossible not to smile so hans hide his smile by drinking his cup of tea. His plan was exactly working like he wanted.
Alphonse was absolutly scared , a man was still there some women were still there also watching the scene for it was know the westergaard family offered some quite entertaining scene for who would want to have some fun.
" THIS IS YOU !" Hans's father tell when he saw alphonse with the painting.
" no father this is no..." alphonse tried to said afraid by his father.
" ARE YOU TAKING ME FOR AN IDIOT ?"
" YOU ARE HOLDING A PAINTING NOT A COW AND GUESS WHAT I TASTE IN MY CUP ?"
"Father.."
" PAINT NOT MILK !"
"AND GUESS WHAT I WOULD HAVE WANT TO TASTE MILK NOT PAINT !"
" father please calm down !"
" I M NOT CALMING DOWN YOUR ARE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WHOLE CASTLE HOLDING A PAINTING"
Hans apreciated each second of the scene. Taking pleasure in all alphonse embarassment not only he was dealing with their father anger and the humiliation that go with it but he just couldnt said anything or the women will know he was only and just a big jealous pretentious dumb liar and if there was something true in the southern isles was that Gossip spread themselve very easily.
" WHAT DID I DO TO THE NATURE TO HAVE SUCH A DUMBASS FOR SON"
Oh now...it was terrible what just happened he was having the disapproval words from the patriarch. A true nightmare for Every son of King westergaard well not anymore for Hans. Alphonse was still trying to explain himself but as asual and Hans planned it...
He couldnt.
Their father didnt let people talking when he was mad. It was typical of his father. Perfect for his plans.
" you are sleeping in the garden tonight !" He said less hysterical but still harsh and angry.
" I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU OF THE DAY"
" but...but...father "
" NOW" ! He pointed the door
As usual just like always alphonse whines like a 5 years old spoild brat
" buuut faather ! "
"MOVE"
Finally alphonse move in the direction of the garden giving hans a dirty look.
The king pronounce some insult while Alphonse was away.
"That idiot ! He poisoned me ! " the king touch his throat and in a dramatic way drink Hans cup of tea.
"DAMN ! I have still that disgusting taste in my mouth and i have an important meeting in 2 second
" thats horrible father" hans said acting as if he was worried while he was chuckling in his head.
"That idiot cannot makes the difference between a CUP OF WATER and FUCKING cup of COFEE !"
Hans sighed not surprised at the scene he was used to his father habits he take himself an other cup of tea and watch his father
" you looked awesome father in the mirror today" he said with a malicious smile.
The king give a confuse looked at his last son random comment. He said nothing during long second still looking at his son confused and look at his own reflection.
" are you mocking me ?" He said mad.
" no i beleive it father" he said with the most innocent smile.
Finally the king left dramatic theatrical and angry. He looked at himself in the mirror for one instant before whispering some insult.
Now all alone in the room Hans took some cookies and allowed himself to burst out laughing.
Sometimes people takes care of themselve by taking bath, having some fun with their love ones , or just by buying some stuff for themselve to forget one instant about a stressful event.
But for people like Prince Hans westergaard of the southern isles who were living in Hell since the day they were born it was kind of different.
For people like Prince Hans westergaard of the Southern isles who were living since the first day of their life with 11 annoying abusive brothers who didnt let him breath and a even more abusive and tyranical father taking care of his own person had a whole new meaning. It was a mattter of opportunity. All of those opportunities that can makes you feel better mentaly by watching his abusers getting exactly what their deserved
A tyranical father having a bad taste in his mouth for the whole morning when having an important meeting , a jealous mean brother sleeping in the garden as a cruel punishement. Its was god damn satisfying.
Its full Hans heart with hapiness. A big smile on his face he took the newpaper in front of him and leave for the library while humming a song on his way he meet the staff of the castle.
"Happy today your highness " an old maid giggle happy for him she had watch on him since little so seing his highness happy was making herself also happy.
"I have never feel so good That today" he smile back and kiss the maid on the cheek. She laughed at the prince affection.
He took the hands of two young maid and makes them dance with him causing both of them to giggled.
" what is happening to you your highness" the first giggled
"I think this is the arrival of spring" He giggled
" the Birds coming..."
"The flowers growing..."
"its makes me so joyful"
They both giggled at the prince comment.
"Waiting for you in the garden this aftertoon" he winked finally he passed other member of the staff.
" wooo singing your highness the last time i heard you was before that arendelle fiasco" a man said.
"I m taking another approchaed of life" he answered happy.
After he crossed all the corridors and took the stairs he meet a certain loving person. Lars chuckled when he saw him.
" So happy today little brother ?" The staff of the castle was shooked in a postive way !" He laughed also happy for him.
" so what happen to you today to be so happy ? "
