hang me in a bottle like a cat

Ben did not give two thoughts about it when his neighbors moved out of the apartment complex. He was never particularly close to the couple, or any of his neighbors, really. Who even talked to their neighbors anymore? No one went over to say welcome to the building or ask to borrow a cup of sugar anymore. And since this building featured in-unit laundry, Ben never needed to interact with people beyond a brisk nod passing on the stairs or at the mailboxes. And that was exactly the life he preferred. He kept to himself and his one-bedroom apartment and his engineering job in downtown San Francisco, and that was exactly what he wanted.

In fact, Ben had not even noticed the inhabitants in the two-bedroom next door changed until he checked his mail one Tuesday afternoon and saw that the battered mail tag for apartment 310 had changed. The new tag simply read, Stratford, H/ Stratford, B.

Huh, Ben thought. Neat.

That was the most thought he put into his new neighbors until Friday. Ben was sitting on his couch, phone in one hand and beer in the other, Netflix on in the background. He was not paying real attention to anything at all, really, which was why he jumped where there was a sudden crashing sound through the wall.

And dimly, Ben heard a woman’s voice lamenting, “Oh, you stupid little bastard.”

Ben furrowed his brow at the sound, listening to hear if there would be any more. There wasn’t. Shaking his lip with a bemused little smile on his face, Ben returned to his phone.

Ben assumed that the odd outburst through the walls would be a one-time thing. But clearly he overestimated the thickness of the walls in his building, or he underestimated the temper of his new neighbors.

Every now and then, Ben heard the noise through the wall: loud, uninhibited laughter; the shifting of different furniture being assembled or rearranged; the odd fire alarm dinging off, always accompanied by some kind of loud swear.

And every now and then, Ben would hear that voice again.

“Out of my way, you tiny bastard man, if I trip over you I am going to push you out the window.”

“Dinner time, dinner time, dinner time! Will you eat this? I don’t care if you like it or not! You’ll eat it and like it!”

“Get a job, you fucking freeloader. Pay your rent. Pull your own weight around here for once.”

“No. No. No. This is mine. I’m not sharing. Fuck off. I hate you. Fine, one kiss.”

“Back, back, back – no! Move! You know you’re not allowed outside!”

It was like living with a strange, cranky ghost that swore like a sailor. And had a mean streak.

Most nights, it was actually rather funny. But as time went on, he started to grow a bit concerned. Whoever his new neighbors were, they sounded like they had a… contentious relationship. One full of arguing and insults and exasperated affection.

Ben knew that his neighbors’ lives weren’t any of his business. But he had to admit he was deeply curious. And with the occasional crash and shout, he wondered if he ought to pop by. Check in. Greet the new neighbors, after all. His mother would probably give him her standard amused, slightly disappointed look if he revealed that he had still not said hello or welcome to his new neighbors since they moved in over two months ago.

The tipping point finally came, as Ben knew it must. He had just arrived home from work, a few hours later than usual on a Friday night. He’d had a project to finish up, and the rest of the office was barely helping. So it was almost eight o’clock in the evening as Ben made his way up the stairs, keys in one hand and loosening his tie with the other. He was just about to open his front door when a sudden clattering of dishes made him jump.

“No – dammit, you little shit – you know you’re not allowed in the kitchen! Get out! I will feed you! Move, you stupid asshole!”

Ben looked longingly at his door. Then he sighed, taking the five steps to the neighboring door. He lifted a fist, rapping his knuckles against the door.

Immediately, that same voice called: “One second! Shit, no, move - c’mere -”

The door chain rattled, the deadbolt turned. The door opened. And Ben came face-to-face with his neighbor. He opened his mouth. Forgot how words worked.

Because – oh, wow. The woman had a heart-shaped face, strong features, long, dark auburn hair, hazel eyes. Freckles dotted her nose and cheeks like stars. She was a bit shorter than him, curvy, wearing a soft, faded Star Wars t-shirt with the collar cut so that the oversized shirt drooped down one shoulder. In her arms was a very large, very fluffy orange cat with perhaps the largest and most vacant eyes Ben had ever seen.

Oh. A cat. A cat.

A lot of things made sense now.

“Um, hi, did you need something?” The Most Beautiful Woman Ben Had Ever Seen asked, cutting off Ben’s train of thought.

“Oh, no,” Ben said. The woman raised an eyebrow, looking distinctly unimpressed. He quickly amended, “Well, I live next door, in three-oh-eight, and I, uh, I’ve heard you? Yelling? And I wanted to check in, see if you were okay, but.” He flapped a hand in the girl’s general direction, his limbs feeling oddly boneless. “The cat. You have a cat. Makes sense.”

“You heard – oh, my God,” the woman said, her expression going from borderline suspicious to confused to mortified. She had absolutely no poker face, and Ben found that observation indescribably charming. “Oh, my God. I’m so sorry, I had no idea the walls were so thin, I’m so sorry I’ve been bothering you –”

“You didn’t bother me,” Ben interrupted, which he knew was rude, but he felt even worse watching this adorable woman blush in embarrassment. “I mean, it was. Funny? But I just. I wanted to check in? And, uh, say hi. Since we’re neighbors.”

The woman opened her mouth to speak, but then there was another voice in the apartment. “Bea? Who’s at the door?”

The woman – Bea – stepped aside as a smaller, more petite woman stepped into the doorway. Her blonde hair was tied up into a ponytail at the top of her head. She eyed Ben with a blue-eyed stare. Then she peeked up at Bea. “A gentleman caller, Bea? Scandalous.”

Well, that was their relationship explained in two sentences. Ben watched the two sisters as Bea glared down at the younger woman. “Of course not, Hero. This is our neighbor…” She frowned at him. “I’m sorry, I didn’t get your name.”

“Oh, no,” Ben agreed. It took him a second to realize, oh, she was asking the strange man at her door to introduce himself. An extremely reasonable request. Yes, Ben would love to drop through the floor right about now. “Uh. Ben. Ben Montounto. And I have intruded on your night long enough. So I am going to…” Face-plant into my couch, throw a blanket over my head, and hide for the rest of my life.

“Would you like to stay for dinner?” The blonde woman, Hero, suddenly asked. Her sister tried to open her mouth, but she plowed on over anything she might have said. “Since we’ve apparently been bothering you for the past few weeks without even knowing it. An apology. Bea’s a… cook.”

Bea cut her sister with a glare. Ben tried to bite back a laugh, and he mostly succeeded until Bea turned her affronted hazel-eyed gaze on him. Oh, she was adorable.

“I don’t want to intrude,” Ben said honestly. He stepped back. Bea held his gaze.

“It’s not intruding if we invited you,” she pointed out bluntly.

“Oh, so now it’s ‘we?’” Ben asked. Bea lifted her chin slightly, refusing to back down even as her cheeks pinked slightly.

“Well, I didn’t stutter,” Bea replied archly, and she stepped aside to invite Ben into her apartment. It had the same layout as his own, just flipped and mirrored, with an extra bedroom attached. He carefully sat on the couch, sitting awkwardly straight up.

“D’you want anything to drink?” Hero asked, poking her head into the fridge as Bea returned to the stove. “We have water, seltzer, beer –”

“– Terrible wine, move, you little monster,” Bea said to the orange cat winding around her ankles. Now that he was here to see it in person, Ben could see the smile on Bea’s face as she cooed down at the cat. He could also hear the pet mrowl back up at her, green eyes wide and guileless. Ben dimly wondered if he would even hear the Wii homepage music echoing in the cat’s head, or if the poor little thing lacked even that.

“Seltzer is fine, thanks,” Ben said. He already felt awkward enough sitting in a strangers’ living room; drinking their alcohol was just several steps too far. Just as he was getting set to leap to his feet and sprint to his apartment, a loud mewl made him look down.

“Hello, lad,” Ben greeted the orange cat, holding out a hand for the pet to sniff. “What’s your name?”

“Tony.” Bea set a can on a coaster in front of him and sat on the other side of the couch, leaving a careful full cushion of space between them.

“Tony, hmm?” Ben replied, still speaking to the cat. “Talented wee thing, aren’t you? You can talk and everything.”

He heard Bea stifle a laugh. “He’s a rescue from a local shelter, so he’s still getting used to people. He takes a bit to warm up –”

Bea’s sentence trailed off when Tony suddenly leapt up to land on his lap. He circled around for a few moments, orange cur catching on the material of Ben’s slacks, before plopping himself into a furry puddle. Ben automatically ran his knuckles under the cat’s chin, and the cat closed his eyes and tilted his head back happily. He started purring, long, loud, and low, like a running engine or a motorboat.

Ben looked at Bea. Her mouth was hanging open, insulted. He felt himself grinning. “You were saying?”

“Shut up,” Bea snapped back automatically, though there was no anger behind the phrase. Ben laughed aloud.

“This is such bullshit,” Bea said, pointing at the cat. “He’s been with us for like, two months, and he still never sits on my lap? Hero’s, occasionally, but never mine. You’re an asshole, you know that?”

The latter sentence was addressed to the cat. Ben lightly scratched his nails behind the cat’s ears, and Tony shoved his head into the pressure. The purring only grew louder. Ben watched Bea scowl playfully at the cat, dark brows furrowing and cheeks going pink when she blew a raspberry at the cat.

Adorable. Utterly adorable. Ben could not believe he had shared a wall with this woman for two months. He knew nothing about her, about her job or her life or where she was from or her history or how she took her coffee or her favorite shows or movies or colors. All he knew was she was beautiful, and sassy, and she lived with her sister, and she loved her cat, and she swore like a sailor, and she had freckles dotting over her shoulders as well as her cheeks.

He did not want to lose any more time.

“You know,” Ben started, keeping his gaze on the cat. Don’t be weird. Don’t come on too strong. “Cats are supposed to good judges of character.”

He met Bea’s gaze. To his relief, she did not look like she was about to toss him out of her apartment. No, Bea Stratford met his gaze with a smirk and a challenging glint in her eyes.

“I’ve heard that, but I still prefer to conduct my own research. So, Ben Montounto.” She angled herself toward him, supporting her chin with the arm she propped over the back of the couch, and raised her chin.

“Tell me about yourself.”

Thats all Folk. I do hope you enjoy. 

The sun was peering through your thinly homemade curtains lighting up your room. The day had finally come around where you and Ivar got to profess your love for each other in front of the gods. The thought of being officially his and he yours in the eyes of the gods was causing the butterflies to do summersaults in your tummy. You pulled the furs back and got out of the bed to complete your morning routine. The sound of the town waking up was now filling your hut as you finished your breakfast.

You couldn’t help but think about the evening and ceremony so you left got ready to go for a walk. You thought the guys would be at the hunting ground, no doubt drinking and training for their next raid. You couldn’t help but laugh to yourself praying Ivar makes it to the night in once piece. As you walked to the great hall there was nothing but cheers and well-wishers in pleasant conversation. You just wanted to head in and see if there was anything that needed doing.

You were overwhelmed with the smell of freshly cut flowers draping down with Ivar’s banners hanging where possible.

“Morning Y/N” Margaret called out waving to you. “Are you excited for the festivities?” she added with a huge smile.

You couldn’t help but bite your lip and nod in response. Finally summoning up words “Nervous but excited” you replied quietly.

“Well I for one can’t wait to have you a sister in law” as she looped arms with you. “The food is being prepared, the guys are out hunting. The Officiant is on he’s way.” She paused for a moment thinking. “All that is left is your dress was it okay?”

“it was perfect… fitted amazingly”.

“That’s good. Ivar looked amazing in his… it’s amazing how different he looks minus the dirt and blood”. You both let out a small laugh but your thoughts were wondering to what he was wearing and how he looked. Even though you couldn’t wait for it all to be on the floor, you could still enjoy the site of it while it was on.

“Ohhh flower crown” she gasped “Can’t forget it”.

You laughed at the panic over some small.  

“What colours would you like?” you could hear her faintly as she ran off to get some. “we have red and white like Ivar’s shield or seasonal orange and yellows”.

You couldn’t help the all looked and smelled beautiful. “why don’t you throw some together and we can see?… I’ll help I could do with something to do?” you said with a smile as you both took a seat at the tables and started playing around with the flowers.

~*~*~*~

A few hours had passed, and you were making your way back to your hut. Unexpectedly you felt walked into some, causing you to jump. “I do apologise” you said sympathetically.

“don’t sweat it” the voice replied finishing with a laugh. You looked up and it was Hvitserk followed closely by Ubbe.

“well now I see who it is I am not sorry”. You said cheekily with a smile, causing the pair to laugh.

��you excited about tonight?!” asked Hvitserk.

“being married is great” added Ubbe.

“We can’t wait for you be family” Hvitserk cheered. Causing you to laugh.

“I am indeed looking forward to tonight… speaking of where is that husband to be of mine?” hearing the word aloud awoke the butterflies in your tummy

“he went back to your…” Ubbe punched Hvitserk in the arm “hut”…”I’m sorry okay I’m bad at secrets”. He shrugged it off causing you laugh again and Ubbe to roll his eyes.

“Okay well I’ll see you two later tonight!” you said hugging the pair of them before making your way off to your hut.

~*~*~*~

You were approaching your door you could hear the familiar sound of dragging. You edged your door open a little so not to startle him. Even if you were now buzzing with excitement.

“Ivar?” you asked as your peered your head around the door. “can I come in?”. You heard him groan in frustration.

“Your back early… did Hvitserk blab?” he asked knowing the answer. You couldn’t help but be shocked at the site before you. The Great Ivar dragging himself around your furniture, with a jug I hand. You shock you heard and closed your slightly ajar mouth.

“I was finished at the hall my love… but what are you doing with a jug of water in hand shimmying around the furniture?”.

He pouted trying to keep a serious face “I wanted to run my Wife a bath… before tonight”.

You couldn’t help but smile. Partly because of the ever-growing butterflies in your tummy now back to doing their circle of summersaults at hearing him call you his wife. But there is also the site of the ruthless and notorious Ivar the boneless being domesticated for once and making you a bath.

“I’m one jug away. Why don’t you get undressed?” he asked softening his pout now to a smile.

“So is this what I have to look forward to?” you asked “The notorious Ivar making his wife a bath?” you said with a smile walking up to him.

He rolled his eyes, bringing a stern look to his face. It was the same look that would cause anybody to go mute. However, could tell he wasn’t overly serious. If he was there would have been raised voices and the sound of crockery smashing.

You found yourself in front of him. Jug still in hand you could tell he was trying to rest his weight on the table to make sure he was standing upright. Even though you were standing in front of him, he still towered over you even at a supported and sloped angle.

Ivar cleared his throat. You could tell he was becoming overwhelmed. “I just want you to know. That I know I can be a bit intense” His hand now found its way to the back of his neck rubbing it nervously. “But I just want you to know… that even though I act differently out there” his head tilting towards the door. “You are mine. I am yours and you are my only love”.  

You heart sank knowing how much it took for him to admit it. Looking at him so nervous and almost fragile. Far from the ruthless battle leader and Viking raider you were at times cautious of.

“Oh Ivar” you whispered and tiptoed placing a kiss on his lips. You felt his lips gently press back to yours. Kissing you back timidly, shortly after he pulled back letting out a small “hmm” sound.

“We’ve got all night and hopefully the rest of our lives to be open and loving and love each other”. He placed his lips to your forehead and you feel them turn to a smile against your skin. Your lips turned to a smile mirroring his.

“now don’t forget your bath… go get ready and hope in” you moved back and nodded.

“as you say” you replied with a smirk making your way to your bedroom. And undoing your garments before placing a white bathing gown and walking out. Ivar had really pulled all the strings. He placed flower petals your favourite in the bath and had pulled up a seat. “Are you going to watch?” you asked with a smile now undoing your braids in front of him.

He just watched you from his chair taking the site of you in. You could never tell what he was thinking but you were getting better at it. He just shook his head and poke his right back. Causing you both to laugh.

Ivar stood up for a moment resting back on the table but reaching out his free hand. You smiled taking his hand. He stood up. By himself, as best he could and placed his other hand on your waist. Help you into the bath.

“arms up” he said almost in command. You surely obliged as he lifted your white gown off and dropped it to the floor. You submerged yourself into the water and splashed some at him a little with a laugh. The water was warm and the flowers were beautiful. You couldn’t help but be mesmerised of how sweet a gesture it was.

he slowly got to his knees and leant over the side of the tub to see you. splashing you gently partly in retaliation and partly to draw you back to him as you were getting lost in your thoughts. He gave a playful smile and leant over to kiss.

“I hope you enjoy your bath”. He said with a small smile framed on his lips. “I’m going to head off and get ready” he said with a bigger smile before climbing up the chair and reaching for his crutches. His smile faded as he could feel you watching him. You couldn’t help it but fill up with pride and you gave a big smile trying to reassure him that you weren’t ashamed. If you felt anything it was pride, you were proud of him.

Ivar let out a cough to clear his throat again. “I’ll err see you in the great hall?” he said just to confirm.

You nodded in response biting your lip in anticipation and you watched him about to head off. Still trying to master the whole shifting his weight and swing.

“Oh Ivar” you called out to him. Causing him to stop in his tracks and turn his head over his shoulder. “I can’t wait for to declare to the gods that I am yours”. You smiled at him as you laid back in the tub and slide further under the water.

You could hear him scoff almost surprised before letting out a sigh. “I can’t wait to claim you in front of the gods and ask for their blessing”. With that he left and headed off to his own bigger hut.

You let the water wash over you in the tub, taking in the smell of the flowers and warmth of the water washing over your skin. Before you got out and placed your gown back on to get ready.

~*~*~*~

You heard a knock on your door automatically causing you to shout out and welcome whoever was in.

“Heyy only me just checking on you” it was Margaret thankfully because you were getting nervous and almost nauseous now thinking about it. “Oh my gods its beautiful. You’re going to give Lofn herself a run for power with all the interests you’ll get”.

You gave a small smile “there is only one Viking out there I want to attract”.

Margate gave you a nudge. “come on I’ll help you into it”.

It wasn’t difficult to get it into. The fabric had a satin feel as it slid over. The dress was a crimson red matching Ivar’s banner. With a black string plaited belt. With a white trim and detail throughout.

“Wow Y/N, Ivar won’t know what had hit him when we see’s you”. “Now… your hair”.

Your long hair had fallen wavey past your shoulders which was ideal. As Margaret had helped do a subtle waterfall braid along the back from side to side.

“Thank you for all your help” you said calmly even though you were sure you were about to pass out with nausea.

“don’t mention it, I can’t wait to have you has a sister”… “Gods know we’re going to have to stick together since were marrying into the Ragnarsson’s clan. “right stand” she asked now taking a step back to double check how you looked.

“Y/N”she gasped.

“What?! OH MY GODS ITS BAD ISN’T IT!” suddenly unleashing all of the panic you have been building up.

“Nooo!” she cried bringing you into a hug “you look incredible” at this point Bjorn’s wife Torvi had let herself in.

“Evening ladies” she sang as she made her way through your house already dressed. “OH MY” she squealed in excitement. “it’s a beautiful evening out there. The guys are ready and the hall is already heaving”.

Causing you both to laugh now.

You stood up again now as Margaret was getting ready. Torvi helped you with your make up seeing how much of a leaf you were.

“it is going to be fine” she soothed before finishing.

You stood back patting yourself down.

Have a look Margaret called before fetching some reflective glass and holding it up. there was no denying you did scrub up well… if there was any event to do so surely this was it. “Just one more thing”.

A puzzled look fell on your face as you heard Torvi moving around and soon come back.

“A crown” Torvi cheered before placing the flow crown gently on your head.

You were mesmerised by the detail put into it the green breaking steams threaded together; with the red and white mixture of flowers feeding around. Going with the theme of Ivar’s shield. After all you couldn’t wait to share in his adventures and show the world how prod you are of both Ivar the boneless and Ivar your husband.

After the three of you confirmed you were ready you were ready to leave the hut. Your turned back making sure the candles were all out. Before closing the door on your hut.

“don’t panic but the boys have a surprise for you” Margaret whispered causing Torvi to give her a nudge.

“Well Ivar has at least. The others just helped” Torvi added with a smile. As they both linked arms with you as you were getting ready to head off.

~*~*~*~

The sun was setting behind the mountain scape and the scene was almost mesmerising as you made your way to the great hall. Bjorn and Ubbe were waiting outside for Torvi and Margaret.

“you look amazing Y/N” Ubbe cheered causing Margret and to laugh nudge him.

“Ivar is definitely a lucky Viking” Bjorn added before turning around to face the door.

“Are you ready?” asked Margaret now lined up aside Ubbe.

You let out a deep and long sigh to try and calm your nerves.

“I guess so” you replied giving a small smile.

You followed the two pairs into the great hall. The look on Ivar’s face as he took the sight of you in. He stood up and used his crutches to levy himself towards you. you stood there taking in the site of the hall with the candles. With almost all the towns folk and others including Harald and Halfden who were watching on and whispering amongst themselves and Floki.

“you look beautiful… more so than you always do” the voice startled you and you looked up to find Ivar now stood in front of you. You couldn’t help but have the biggest smile on your face.

“You look so handsome” you whispered back.

“cleaner than usual right?” he said with a small laugh and reached out to take your hand. He was wearing his red and black smarter get up. His hair braided back ending at the nape of his neck.

Hvitserk took one of his crutches and you held Ivar’s hand trying to take some of his weight to ease the pressure for him.

“you could have waited, I was on my way to you” you said with a laugh.

“Not at all… I want to walk with my wife like other men” you had couldn’t help but blush slightly and you made your way down and in front of the officiant.

Someone soon pulled a seat up for Ivar and all you heard was him growl. You started rubbing his hand softly to calm him down.

He coughed to clear his throat. “It’s fine I can stand”. He said and you could hear Floki laugh his unmistakable laugh.

“you tell ‘em Ivar” he cheered. You laughed and so did he finally relaxing and resting on his one crutch this time. If he was in pain his face didn’t show it.

The officiant started talking as you both turned to face him. The hall fell quiet watching on.  

Ivar started his vows first. You could tell he was nervous so you turned to face him holding his hand and gently stroking it. He cleared his throat and began speaking.

“Y/N…” he turned to face you this as well this time and gave you a small smile “These are my promises to you I make in front of the goods and ask for their blessings”.

He cleared his throat again.

“I promise to give you the best of myself… what little that may be. I promise to not take you granted and to harm those who do, for you are My wife before the gods. I promise to take you as my partner in life as and do best by you and our people. I promise to build and grow on our marriage together before the gods. To help make a safe, supportive and encouraging home for us and our children and pray that Freyja will bless us with this”. He looked up at you and smiled signalling the worse is over “My last promise to you Y/N… is that I will love you and be faithful to you through the good the bad and the sick times”.

You couldn’t help but well up at his words. You smiled blinked back the tears before mouthing a quiet “I love you”. It was your turn next and you cleared your throat. This time it was Ivar who took your hand. Intertwining your fingers and his thumb as rough to the touch as it was it was soothing. His thumb tracing circular motions on skin.

You swallowed the lump in your throat down and opened your mouth to speak hoping the words came out effortlessly.

“Ivar…” you gave him a small smile. “I choose you Ivar, to spend the rest of my days as many as the gods see fit to give us. I will forever respect, love and encourage you no matter how wild you may be”. This time he smiled at you and you could see he was happy for once in his life. Genuinely happy. “I take you to be my husband and live my life as your wife, this is life until our last day… this is my promise to you in sickness and even whilst you raid to be there for you always”.

Before you knew it, the officiant didn’t even have a chance to finish his sermon before Ivar’s lefts came crashing to yours. His hand finding its way to the back of your neck pulling you into him. You your lips moved kissing him back. At the sound of hall erupting into cheers you pulled back. You both took your seats and washed on as the hall enjoyed the celebrations. Finally exchanging matching metal rings.

The whole evening you couldn’t help but cuddle up to Ivar and he couldn’t keep his hands of you. You watched on as the drumming continued and there were people dancing around.

“If you want to dance… go dance?” Ivar whispered.

“Would you mind?” you asked cautiously.

“Only with Hvitserk okay?” he said with a small laugh. He has a smile on his face as Floki came to keep him company.

“thank you! thank you!”  you smiled and got up to go find Hvitserk.

It wasn’t long until you found and “Hey! What’s up?” he asked curious. You didn’t say a word and just grabbed his hand. hand causing him to laugh. You both danced along to beat. Laughing cracking jokes. Your eyes met Ivar’s at first, he looked on admiring the way your body moved in beat to the drumming and music. But you could tell he looked frustrated that he couldn’t join in.

“Sorry Hvitserk. One second” you said before leaving him and walking up to Ivar. You placed a hand on his shoulder and kissed his cheek.

“what is wrong husband?” you asked. All you could hear him sigh.  “you can tell me” you asked now sitting on his lap.

“it’s just I was watching you dance. You had so much fun. But I wanted to be in there and dance with you. instead of back here and watching on”.

You cupped his face with your hand and pulled him to you giving him a quick kiss.

“You… Husband of mine. Are Ivar the boneless. Feared by many and known to few. You are ruthless and fierce but with me you are gentle and courageous”.

He gave a small smile “hmm”

“dancing with me is not the main thing in life Ivar”

“sometimes I want to be normal… and dance with my wife on our wedding night” he whispered.

“today you walked with me with the use of one crutch and stood up the whole summon on your own… you won tonight over this ongoing battle you face with those legs of yours. you get stronger everyday”.

He pushed his forehead to yours and you could see a tear fall.

“I didn’t think I would ever marry Y/N. but here you are, my wife. I wanted to do everything right by you not just tonight but for every night”. you looked up kissing him gently.  

“Are you tired?” you asked concern.

He shook his head “no, why?”

“come with me husband” you said reaching your hand out and but passing him one of his crutches.

“where are you taking me?” he asked raising a brow.

You slowed your pace and looped an arm around Ivar’s leading him to the where the crowds were dancing.

“you wanted to dance with me… right?” his eyes went white.

“and I can’t what are you doing to me?” he almost hissed.

“have faith” you said before finding a slight hole in the floor to put his crutch into keep it sturdy. The drums and the music had started picking up the beat as you bent down to a curtsey and he bowed his head. You took his hand and slowly started turning and twirling and turning with his hand guiding you. His eyes never leaving you and his lips framing the biggest smile you’ve possibly seen this day. He pulled you in closer and placing a hand on your hip and started swaying his hips as best he could not to fall.

“Thank you” he whispered resting his head to yours.

“for what?” you whispered back the intimacy causing you to catch your breath.

“helping me be normal… as best you can”.

You looked up to him and pulled him into a kiss

“My love you are far from normal… and so much more but if tonight that is what you want then I will try my best”.

He pulled you in for another kiss and liked you lips for entry. Your lips parted and pulled him in deeper hooping your arms around his neck and playing with his braids.  For a moment is was as if you and her and were the only people there, in the room. No one else mattered but the kiss stirred a hunger in you for that night.

~*~*~*~

The celebrations were dying down so you and Ivar decided to take a walk admiring the moonlight and the cool breeze on your skin as you both made your way back to your hut. You hooked your arm around Ivar while he hopped along on his crutches.

“you’re getting better at them husband”. His head turned to yours with a smile.

“I’m no longer falling over when we join arms now” he finished with a laugh causing you to join in remembering how wobbly he used to be.

“I’m so proud of you Ivar” you whispered placing a kiss on his cheek. You could see his eyes close for a moment at the touch.

“I hope I never do anything to cause you to lose that pride wife of mine” he whispered back. You couldn’t help but smile as the butterflies woke up in your tummy as he called you his wife.

“We did it Ivar… I’m married to Ivar the Boneless the fearless Viking son of Ragnar” you said poking your tongue out to him and closing your eyes. In this moment, he bit your tongue playfully. “Did you just bite me!?” you almost cried is disbelief causing the pair of your laugh.

“Well it was just there for the taking”. You gasped giving him a slight nudge.

“we’re here” he called signalling making it back to your hut.

You opened the door and held it open for him as he made his way in.

“would you like a drink?” you asked… noticing how his playful mood had almost evaporated.

“Yes please” he said before pulling a chair out and sitting down, passing him his drink.

“what are you thinking husband?” you asked with a smile.

“eerrmm…” he sipped from his flask. “We’re back here now”. His forehead was now beading with sweet. His hands getting a little clammy.

“Yes we are…Are you nervous?” you asked raising a brow at him.

He coughed nervously… “Maybe” he said pulling his hand away. You got up and moved on to his lap draping a hand over his broad warrior built shoulders.

“please don’t push this” he whispered sounding almost like a beg.

“you are my Husband now. I have never been more in love with you than in this very moment”. You kissed his cheek and tilted his head to face you. “please tell me what is bothering you. I could try to help”. Your thumb now tracing along his jaw and moving up to caress his cheeks.

“you promise you won’t think any less of me?” he whispered letting his vulnerability show.

“I swear it for the gods to hear. I could never think less of you Ivar” you said softly.

“Well… do you remember when I had sex with Margaret?” he asked and you looking at him. Although your heart slightly sinking at having to think of Ivar with another. Of course, you knew. It was talk of the town for months”. You couldn’t help but bite your own lips nervously and nodded. “Well we didn’t exactly have sex”. He let out the biggest sigh and starting wriggling around under you nervously.

“oh?” you asked curious feeling cautious but there was no denying you were relieved

“It’s not like we didn’t try… I tried so hard”. He shook his head and his eyes welling up. “Well my prick wouldn’t work. I couldn’t please her… not like my brothers could”. He looked down and started welling up.

He looked so fragile before you and you pulled him in to your chest stroking his hair.

“Oh Ivar” you cooed before placing a kiss on his head.

“I’m worried it doesn’t work. I’ve trapped you in this childless and sexless marriage. Where I am never going to please you like other husbands”. He looked up his eyes welling and this time he let them.

“Ivar I want you to listen to me” you commanded lifting his head up to face you. “there are so many other ways to please a wife. It is not just about sex… we’ve done things previously haven’t we…” you smirked and he nodded. “it may not have been sex but your prick definitely worked and you certainly pleased me”.

You kissed him gently to let him know what you were saying was genuine. “I have no doubt that Freyja will grant us children eventually” you said kissing gentle featherlight kisses down jaw.

“even if she does not Ivar. you have never tapped me and I will remain your wife children or not… I have promised that to you in front of the gods tonight… and I meant it”. You could feel him relax underneath you. you looked up at him and smiled.

“now husband. I would appreciate it if you would finish that drink and join your wife in the bed”. You suggested as you got up from his lap.

He watched you with a hint of lust in his eyes.

“I am afterall going to need a hand getting out of this dress”. With that you poked your tongue out at him and walked off to the bedroom leaving him in awe.

~*~*~*~

You were sat on the edge of the bed un-braiding your hair. When you heard the door creak open and slowly close. You smiled a little as you turned to Ivar watching him place his crutches against the bed side table and wall.

“You really did look like a goddess tonight Y/N” he whispered as he slid onto the bed sitting beside you.

“You looked so handsome in your get up tonight” You let your eyes scan over him in his red outfit with black leather overlay.

“did you still want a hand getting out of that dress of yours” he whispered against your ear now moving your hair over one shoulder and placing gentle kisses from behind you ear and down your neck.

You couldn’t help but let out a moan “please? It suddenly got really hot in here” you said with a laugh. You could feel him playing around with your laced back. Loosening the back and you could feel the garment loosen from around your body. You stood up and turned to face him. Letting the dress fall swiftly to the floor leaving you standing in the barely lit room. With nothing but the moonlight filling any gap possible.

You watched Ivar pull himself back against the headrest of the bed. As you got on the bed and crawled up to him.

“I like watching you crawl like that” he whispered biting his lip before reaching out and cupping one of your breasts”.

You smiled and titled your head leaning in to him to kiss him. A feeling od eagerness washed over you mixed with a sense of longing.

“I don’t think it’s fair that I am the only on naked here” you whispered causing him to laugh as his hands rushed to undo his lace on his leather and letting it fall to the floor.

You slid up to him and sat on his lap. Your hands fumbling at his shirt pulling it out of his trousers and then sliding your hands under easing it off his head and up his stretched arms. The minute his face free of the cloth his lips found their way to your tits. Kissing one gently and his arms falling back down to place his fingers on the other nipple. his fingers feeling rough on the surface adding to this sensation and his kisses slowly and gently turning to a nibble.

“fuck” you hissed the hunger growing as your hands now fell to his trouser waist line.

He soon stopped and moved back. “please don’t” he whispered placing his hand gently on yours.

You couldn’t help but whine “Ivarrr” you pushed you hips as close to him as you could. “I want you so much right now” you whispered. “I’ve never felt such a longing and wanting for anyone like I have for you”.

He pulled you into a kiss “I just don’t want to scare you”. He whispered against your lips.

“they won’t scare me I promise”. He pulled back and bit him lip thinking it through.

“okay” he whispered. You let out the most enthusiastic squeal causing him to laugh.

“I promise you baby. I just want you. All of you. As you are”. You reassured him before pulling him into another kiss as your hands pulled back his waist band of his trousers. You stood up to help put back his trousers slowly. Taking in the sight of his member. Moving them down past his legs and gliding them off to the floor.

The site his legs hadn’t scared you off or startled you. if anything, it filled you with more love and respect for him. “do they hurt?” you asked curious.

He shook his head “not as much as they used to. Occasionally but not now”. He confirmed and you sat back on his lap.

“I want you so much Ivar” he smiled.

“I want you too. I want to do this baby” he added.

You could feel his prick twitching underneath you.

You sat up and positions yourself in between his legs trying gently not to knock them.

You traced a finger along one of his legs and you could feel his stiffen up prick included.

“have faith in me?” you asked and he nodded in consent. You placed another hand on his waist for support. “you let me know if you hurt at any point” you said now gliding your finger along his pick. He nodded again and you could feel his prick grown in length. You took your hand and started slowly gliding it up and down length, picking up speed with each moan escaping his lips.

you smirked placing your lips to his tip feeling some of the already sticky juice as you licked it clean. This then caused him to sit upright and let out a hiss. You smiled taking your tongue and rolling it back and forward along the tip. Which each twitch you felt you took him in your mouth. he placed his hand on the back of your head helping it take him in gently. You could feel him twitch and grow in your mouth and the momentum you were picking up cause Ivar to rock his hips and fourth.

You could feel his hand now leaving the back of your neck and his hands tracing along your side down to your arse.

He sat up a little and leaned into you. his prick now pushing to the back of your throat. Every time his hands wondered over your body your skin felt a light with fire. His hands had reached to a cheek before gliding a finger down your centre. Causing you to moan and the vibrate against his prick.

His finger had then parted your lips as he ran it over your centre. Causing you to moan again and this time his prick twitched one last time before releasing into your mouth. you came up to him wiping your mouth.

“Well husband your prick definitely works” you said with a laugh. He was sweaty and breathing heavily.

“I want to please you now”. He said as he flipped you over now so you were underneath him and his hand was placed at your centre tracing a finger and parting your lips again gliding his thumb and leading it to your clit. You couldn’t help but squirm at his lingering touch.

His thumb was now making circular motions as he slid a finger of your walls. “Oh Ivar you gasped” his touch was certainly feeding that hunger you felt previously.

“you’re so warm” he whispered as he kissed gently from your neck and down in between your breasts. He gently bit a part of your skin as he placed a second finger inside of you.

“you couldn’t help but arch your back and reach aside you for something to grab finding the furss of your bed.

“tell me you like that baby” he whispered against your skin. His breath and words cooling your skins which as now warming up.

He started pumping his fingers and twisting them occasionally while not letting go of your clit keeping a steady rotation.

“Ohhhh Ivar you hissed. I like it so much baby”. Your hips began rocking back and forth not into his palm deepening his reach.

“Ivarrr” you hummed you getting louder and he kissed down your hips. Now picking up his pace with the pumping and curling his fingers towards your spot.

You couldn’t help but pull the furs over your face to muffle your moans.

“your so wet baby” he pulls his hand out and away from you. immediately missing them as you out a whine.

You didn’t miss it for long as he his tongue soon replaced his thumb. Licking and rolling along your clit. You could feel his lips pressed against your skin as your hand found their way to his hair.

“Ivar I’m going to cum” you whined as he placed his fingers back inside of you.

“I want you too baby. The site of you wanting just me is what I need” he whispered before you placing he’s fingers back and working on a motion with his pumping hand meting the flicks of his tongue.

It wasn’t long before you found yourself releasing as you let out the longest the moan followed by a sighhh.

It was Ivar’s turn to wipe his mouth this time before crawling in between your legs.

“That’s was amazing Ivar” you laid there catching your breath. Now equally as sweaty as he.

He crawled up positioning himself just right. You could feel his prick twitch and growing against your centre.

“I’m still so hungry for more Ivar. what have you done”.

He let out a laugh before lifting himself up and leaning in to give you a kiss.

You couldn’t help but wrap your legs around hi “is that okay?” you whispered against his lips as he pressed his forehead to yours.

“just right” he said smiling as he hovered over you. placing one hand on your hip and another on the headboard.

“what about this?” you asked now rocking your hip back and forth rubbing your entrance against his tip.

Once again you could feel it twitch against you as he let out a groan.

“are you sure about this?” he whispered now fighting back every urge to control himself.

You lifted yourself up to give him a kiss.

“I have never been more certain of anything before in my life” you whispered and with that he nodded. Pushing his tip in at first stretching your walls a little.

“Ivarr” you moaned as he waited for you to nod for him to continue… which didn’t take much.

This time he edged more of himself in slowly “fuckk he hissed” your tight baby. You fit me so well”.

You couldn’t help but place your hands on his hips and as he pushed the remainder of his prick inside. Your hands finding their way straight to his back. Clawing at something to hold onto.

He took his time moving his hips into you slowly picking up momentum and speed. Your hips slowly rocking back meeting every single one of his thrusts.

His moans were becoming animalistic as was yours as and you drew a couple more scratches on his back causing him to hiss. Not in pain but in an encouraging way.

You could feel yourself filling up and wanted to make it last if possible. You tightened your grip of your legs at his waist and managed to roll him over so Ivar was at the bottom.

“I want you to sit back and enjoy baby” you said tracing kisses down his neck.

His hands found their way at your hips helping you. as your slid up and down rocking on his prick. Leaning back with each thrust as he hit your spot. One of his hand made its way to your tits taking a hold and rubbing. In his excitement pinching and flicking at your tender nipple.

He hissed again enjoying every moment and the view.

“I’m going to come baby” he whispered. His breathing getting heavier and his hands getting sweaty.

“ride it out with me baby. Please”. You begged starting to hum at the feel of his prick twitching against your walls and your walls clenching.

His hands pulling you closer and faster to his thrusts.

“Y/N he cried out” slowing his thrusts as your felt him twitch one last time filling you up with his seed.  

The sensation being met with your release resulting in you crying his name as loud as possible. Eventually, you slowed down riding your own climax out.

It took a moment for you both to catch your breath, before you could slide of off him.

His arm draped around you pulling you in close to him.

“That was amazing” he whispered.

Causing you to roll on your side and snuggle up and into his chest. His arms keeping you safe as both or your skins stuck together.

“I love you Ivar” you whispered cuddling up to him and taking finger tracing his tattoos on his chest.

“I love you too Y/N” he whispered back pulling you in close and bringing the furs over the both of you.

You spent the rest of that night in each other’s arms as your drifted off to sleep. You could his breathing slowing down and feel it against your head. As he watched you that night. Counting his blessings and thanking the gods.
