Working together seems natural, at first. They’re both after the same thing, or at least they think they are, right up until it becomes apparent that they’re not.
Flynn wants money, riches to last a lifetime. And yes, Hans wants that too, but even more than that, he wants power.
He can see it when Flynn starts getting itchy feet, when he starts withdrawing. Careful and slow, so as not to arouse suspicion, because Flynn is good at using people. But Hans is better, so he notices it all with a keen and practiced eye.
Flynn has been bouncing from one score to another since before Hans met him, but Hans plays the long game, and he has plans ready for every opportunity. And while Flynn walking away from their partnership may be a disappointment, it’s one Hans is already prepared for.
“Come on, I thought we were friends,” Flynn drawls, although his voice has an obvious strain to it.
“And we were, while it was mutually beneficial,” Hans replies smoothly, giving the ropes another tug. His knots are perfect, of course, but Flynn’s tricky and Hans isn’t taking any chances.
Which is why Flynn’s stripped completely naked. No way of hiding a knife up his sleeve if he’s not actually wearing sleeves.
“Look, I get it, I have a bounty of my head, you’re not the first to try and claim it,” Flynn says with a shaky laugh. “But can you at least leave me my pants.”
“But this way is so much more fun,” Hans grins, and that gets him a glower, Flynn’s mask of charm slipping to show just how frustrated he is. Which means he’s realising that he’s in real trouble, and Hans almost feels bad for him. They had some good times, after all.
“I’m gonna get you for this, you know,” Flynn mutters, and he’s practically pouting, and Hans realises he’s actually going to miss this man. Of course, Flynn’s served his purpose, so he needs to be discarded, but for once Hans is rather saddened by it.
“Sure you will,” he agrees condescendingly, and oh, there’s fire in Flynn’s eyes now. And Hans can’t help it, has to stoke that heat, still as spellbinding as the day they first met. Leans in and kisses Flynn, brief but hard, and Flynn growls but doesn’t jerk away.
“One for the road,” Hans smirks, and Flynn glares at him, lips still looking soft, even with his mouth drawn into a thin line.
It’s a shame, really, but it’s time to move on, the royal guards will be close by now. Hans turns on his heel and saunters away, and he can feel Flynn’s eyes boring into his back until he’s out of sight.
It’s an impossible situation, Flynn’s defeat whole and absolute, but Hans isn’t convinced they’ve seen the last of each other.
If anybody can escape such hopeless odds, it’s Flynn Rider, and Hans is already anticipating having that last kiss returned with interest.
