Слов: 1 791
Он не был готов к чему-то такому именно сегодня. Этот вечер должен был стать очередной встречей с вашими друзьями и его братом. Ивар даже предположить не мог, что это разрушит его отношения с тобой.
На самом деле, это не удивительно, что он в очередной раз думал, что не столкнётся с последствиями своих действий. Дело было в его социальной и материальной привилегированности, которой пользовались не только его братья, но и он. Даже если Ивар не хотел признавать этого, он знал, что проигрывая, заставит взять соперника реванш, где уже его победа будет безоговорочной.
Теперь же он чувствует подкрадывающиеся последствия. И знал, что реванш в этот раз не будет возможен.
— Ну?! Не хочешь ничего сказать? — интересуется Тора.
Она укоризненно и с ожиданием смотрит на своего парня, хотя ты полагаешь он скоро будет бывшим.
Пока Ивар чувствует жар по всему телу, и панику, душащую его, ты чувствуешь как твоё сердце сжимает рука обиды и предательства. Должно быть Тора что-то не так поняла, не так восприняла, не так подумала. Ты хочешь найти оправдания её словам, но это слишком сложно, учитывая, что твой парень молчит, как и её. Почему Ивар молчит? Разве он не должен говорить, что она ошибается, разве он не должен побыстрее оправдываться за это?
— Хвитсерк? — твой голос поразительно серьёзен, требователен, но этого достаточно, чтобы он поднял на тебя виноватый взгляд.
— Мне жаль, — всего два слова подтверждающие слова Торы.
— Почему ты не рассказал?
— Потому что он трус, жалкое ссыкло. — Тора поднимается со своего места, направляясь к столу рядом, с напитками и закуской.
Ты слышишь, как она наливает себе выпить, но твой взгляд не отрывается от Хвитсерка.
— Я не хотел тебя расстраивать.
— Он на самом деле трус.
Ты переводишь взгляд на Ивара. Тот наконец что-то сказал.
— Послушай, Т/И, это правда, но тебе же нравилось всё это.
— А тебе? — ты злишься на своего парня, хотя может быть больше он тебе не парень.
— И мне. Ты мне тоже понравилась. Я не думал ни о чём плохом...
— Ты говорил, что снимешь ваш трах на видео.
— Что?! — ты не можешь поверить, что Ивар мог сказать что-то подобное.
— Он преувеличивает.
— Разве? — Хвитсерк кажется только больше топит своего брата. — Он рассказал, что тебе нравится и как.
Твои щёки начинают гореть не то, от гнева, не то от смущения.
Ивар замечает это, может быть его пугает не только риск раскрытие собственного ужасного характера, не только риск показать себя, как плохого человека, но и то, что ты на самом деле станешь потерянной для него. Ты на самом деле уйдёшь, оставишь его? Или он просто скажет, что влюбился в тебя до безумия и любит, и не хочет терять, и ты останешься с ним. Разве он не заслужил прощение за какую-то глупую шутку в прошлом? Небольшой розыгрыш, обернулся чем-то хорошим для вас двоих, разве это не стоило того?
— Я просто шутил, я не говорил ничего плохого, — произносит Ивар.
— Серьёзно? Теперь ты снова ни при чём? — Хвитсерк поднимается со своего места.
— Зачем ты это сделал? — ты смотришь на Ивара. Твои глаза становятся акварельными, он знает, что ещё неумного и у тебя потекут слёзы. Он не хочет этого видеть, твой плачь расстраивать его, даже если его раздражает чужое нытьё, ты стала исключением.
В твоём взгляде есть надежда, может быть он скажет что-то оправдывающее его, но он не говорит, кажется не уверенный, сказать правду или соврать. Что он вообще должен сказать, если правда глупая.
— Потому что его брат положил на тебя глаз, — вопит Тора.
Ты переводишь взгляд на Тору, в недоумении.
— Я... я думал пригласить тебя куда-нибудь, после того, как мы познакомились. И я сказал об этом Ивару. Он сказал, что ты не согласишься, что тебе не интересуют такие парни, как я. Заявил, что переспит с тобой быстрее меня. Я решил, что если не буду пытаться, он перестанет, и оставит тебя в покое. Он не перестал, только и тыкал мне в лицо тем, что вы становитесь всё ближе и ближе...
Ты не знаешь, что должна сказать. У тебя так много мыслей, много эмоций и чувств, это переполняет тебя, вопросы и обвинения хотят вырваться, но ты понятия не имеешь с чего начать.
Ивар тоже молчит, он следит за тобой, зная, что сделает ход основываясь на том, как поступишь ты.
— Почему ты ничего не рассказал? Мы... я думала, что мы хотя бы немного друзья? А даже если нет... это низкий поступок, и ты знал об этом всё это время! Кто ещё знал? Помимо тебя и Торы? Как долго я была дурой в ваших глазах, над которой вы смеялись?
— Я узнала вчера, — вмешивается Тора, оставив пустой стакан.
— Как? — Ты переводишь взгляд на девушку Хвитсерка.
— Думала он мне изменяет, залезла в телефон, а он просто оказался трусом влюблённым в девушку брата.
— Я не влюблён.
— Больше не влюблён, — поправляет Хвитсерка Тора.
Ты глубоко вздыхаешь, держа руки по бокам от бёдер и упираясь в диван, опускаешь голову. Что тебе делать? Что ты должна сделать? Ивар по-прежнему ничего не говорит, он даже не извинился. Боги, во взгляде его брата больше вины, чем в его, а технически, Хвитсерк даже не спорил. Хвитсерк даже не причастен, хотя знал обо всём.
Тебе нужен свежий воздух, и может быть немного уединения.
Ты поднимаешься со своего места.
— Куда ты? — Ивар хватает тебя за запястье, смотря на тебя с надеждой, и ты можешь заметить его ��тчаяние в голубизне.
Ты хочешь сострить, хочешь сказать, что он не имеет право так спрашивать, что он не имеет права трогать тебя и делать вид, будто извинялся перед тобой всё это время, а ты так и не простила его глупую ошибку. Но он ничего из этого не делал.
Выдернув свою руку из его, ты уходишь.
***
Ивар не видит тебя несколько дней. Ты не отвечаешь на звонки или сообщения. Ты не открываешь дверь. Ивар уверен, что ты даже могла уехать из города. Но ваши общие друзья утверждают, что ты никуда не уезжала. Он рад, что они хоть что-то о тебе рассказывают, даже если они подозревают, что причина вашей ссоры полностью на плечах Ивара.
***
Ты съедаешь сама себя. Часы и дни стали единым, и ты не до конца понимаешь, сколько прошло времени. Тебе пришлось взять перерыв от своей жизни, нормальной жизни, где ты и твой Ивар были идеальной парой, где ты ходила на работу, может не такую идеальную, но сносную, где ты занималась хобби, и это не было лежание в постели или принятие душа в холодной воде, потому что тебе начало казаться, что ты не заслуживаешь тепла. В какой-то момент ты начала думать, что не заслужила вовсе чего-то хорошего. До Ивара ты так долго была одна, убеждённая, что вовсе никогда не встретишь кого-то подходящего тебе. Но ты встретила его, человека заставившего тебя поверить, что ты можешь быть любимой, понятой, нужной, и быть рядом с человеком, которого тебе не нужно терпеть. Пока не оказалось, что всё это время он просто лгал тебе. Он притворялся, обманывал тебя, насмехался над тобой.
Это стало проблемой. Отвратительный поступок твоего парня, человека которому ты доверяла, заставил тебя сомневаться в себе. Ты ведь не виновата, ты повторяла это про себя каждый день, искренне надеясь, что поверишь в собственные слова, но твои слёзы продолжали внезапно проступать, ты продолжала сидеть дома, продолжала съедать себя, коря за наивность. Как ты могла решить, что можешь получить идеальные отношения, что тебя можно любить, что ты заслужила что-то прекрасное? Как ты могла не заметить очевидное? Наверняка были знаки, наверняка ты должна была раскрыть глаза и не быть такой наивной.
Но ты была. И одна мысль за другой заставляет тебя рыдать навзрыд, до моментов, когда ты начинаешь задыхаться, лишая саму себя возможности нормально вздохнуть.
Ивар звонил тебе некоторое время, пока ты не заблокировала его. Он приходил, ты знаешь это и даже терроризировал ваших друзей, но либо они были безразличны, либо хоть немного уважали тебя и не пытались заставить мириться с Ивар��м.
Ты не знаешь, что собираешься делать. Ты искренне не понимаешь, как должна поступить.
В каком-нибудь низкосортном фильме, девушка после такого пошла бы симпатичного и хорошего парня, но он бы не устроил её, потому он был бы её человеком. Она простила бы бывшего, вернувшись к нему, решив, что настоящие родные люди переживают тяжёлые моменты и перебарывают их. В другом фильме, она переспала бы с его братом. Но ты и этого не хочешь, ты даже не способна на это. Наверное захватывающие дух повороты закончились.
И ты всё ещё не знаешь что делать.
Может быть месть была бы правильным решением, но ты не хочешь мстить, у тебя кажется даже нет на это сил.
Ты ничего не хочешь.
Когда еда в холодильнике заканчивается, и в шкафах больше ничего нет, ты понимаешь, что тебе нужно выйти на улицу.
Когда за окном становится темно, ты пытаешься привести себя в порядок, это выходит не важно, и ты не сильно стараешься.
Вряд ли Ивар настолько чувствует себя виноватым, чтобы ждать тебя у дома каждый день допоздна. Ты знаешь, что он упёртый, но ты уверена, что не настолько.
Ты ошибаешься, когда выйдя из дома видишь его машину.
Тогда ты направляешь обратно в дом.
— Т/И! Остановись! Ты серьёзно будешь бегать от меня?!
Он догоняет тебя, что не удивительно. Он преграждает тебе путь, и ты рада, что он не оказался у тебя в квартире, потому что ты не знаешь, как выгнала бы его, и не знаешь, было бы тебе стыдно за беспорядок, который ты устроила.
— Мы должны поговорить.
— О чём?
— Мне жаль, что всё так обернулось. Но я был честен с тобой, всё это время. Я люблю тебя, я говорил об этом серьёзно, я никогда не врал тебя.
— Ты просто скрывал огромный факт того, что поспорил со своим братом на меня. Что ты высмеивал меня, что рассказал обо мне всё, вещи, которые должны были оставаться между нами стали принадлежать другим!
Ты пытаешься пройти, но Ивар перегружаете тебе путь, каждый раз, когда ты двигаешься в сторону, он делает то же самое.
— Мне жаль! Что ты хочешь, чтобы я сделал? Я поступил глупо, я не должен был этого делать, прости.
Он извиняется в первые перед тобой. Это сбивает с толку. Ивар мог на самом деле сожалеть о том, что сделал, или он хотел просто вернуть тебя, снова остаться безнаказанным, доказать остальным, что ему всегда всё сходит с рук, и даже его девушка может простить его за что угодно.
— Ты злился бы на меня, если бы я сделала также? — твой вопрос то, что усмиряет его пыл, то, что отрезвляет его.
— Думаю... ты бы так не поступила.
— Но если ��ы? Если бы поспорила со своей подругой, что завоюю тебя полностью и без остатка, если бы рассказывала ей о том, какое у тебя выражение лица, когда ты кончаешь, если бы рассказал, что тебя может заставить кончить за секунды? Или рассказала бы ей, о твоём детстве? Ты бы простил меня после этого? Если бы в наших отношениях никогда не было бы приватности, о чём ты даже не подозревал? Ты бы смог простить меня?
Тишина между вами, достаточный ответ. И снова пытаясь пройти мимо своего бывшего парня, ты наконец делаешь это. Он слышит твои шаги по лестнице, и как ты открываешь свою дверь, а после как она захлопывается.

✈︎જ⁀➴21B✈︎જ⁀➴
Summary: You and Ivar are stuck on a plane.
Warnings: Modern AU, a lot of flirting!!!, fluff, slow burn, humor, slight angst, mature themes, spicy
Pairing: Modern AU!Ivar x reader
Words: 2,3k
Note: Will maybe do a second part which will be smut 🫵🏻😗
The gate area is packed, and you're weaving through bodies, trying to spot an open seat or maybe just an unoccupied square of floor that isn’t directly beside someone’s screaming toddler.
That’s when you see him—just a flash at first. Dark hair, sharp jawline, striking blue eyes that seem to flick toward you like he felt you looking.
He tips his chin up a little in acknowledgment, like he knows damn well he’s hard to ignore—smiling.
A bit cocky?
You pass by, and your heart does this annoying little lurch.
Boarding Call.
You get to your seat, aisle 14B, only to be approached by a flustered-looking older woman, clutching a boarding pass and asking if you'd be willing to swap so she can sit beside her nervous husband.
You agree—because karma, right?
Seat 21A. Window. You squeeze past the guy in the middle seat, already settled in. And your heart just about jumps out of your chest.
It’s him.
He turns his head slightly, a grin tugging at his mouth like he just won something.
"Well, well," he says, voice smooth with a faint accent you can’t place. "Looks like the universe is feeling generous today."
You raise an eyebrow as you settle into your seat, trying to play it cool even though your pulse is doing backflips. "You say that like you orchestrated it."
He shrugs one shoulder, lips curving into a smirk. "Maybe I did."
You glance at him sidelong. "So what—you're secretly in charge of the airline now?"
"Something like that." He stretches out, clearly comfortable taking up more space than strictly necessary. "I pulled a few strings. Moved some pieces."
"Had an old lady guilt me into giving up my seat, you mean."
He chuckles, low and amused. "Details."
You settle back, trying not to look too affected. But he’s magnetic in that infuriating way—handsome, smug, and fully aware of both.
"So…" he drawls, turning his head toward you, "what’s your name, stranger who fate so kindly delivered to seat 21A?"
You pretend to think it over. "Maybe I’ll keep that to myself. I’ve seen enough true crime documentaries."
That earns a real laugh from him, low and rough and entirely too charming. "Fair enough. I’m Ivar."
"Ivar?" you echo, lips twitching. "That’s… dramatic."
"I’m dramatic," he agrees without hesitation. "But memorable."
You huff a laugh, looking out the window like it might save you from the growing grin threatening your face.
"And you?" he asks, leaning just a little closer, voice dropping conspiratorially. "Will I get your name before we land? Or are you going to make me guess the whole flight?"
You glance back at him. "Depends. You good at guessing?"
He studies you for a beat, and for a second it’s like the air shifts, goes still between you. Then he smirks again, infuriating and amused.
"I’m very good," he says, eyes glinting. "But I do like a challenge."
"You look like trouble," you say, leaning back in your seat as the plane begins to move. "But the charming kind. The kind that probably talks his way into upgrades and out of consequences."
"I do like the finer things," Ivar replies, not missing a beat. "And I’m allergic to consequences."
"Shocking."
He laughs again, then tilts his head, watching you with interest. "So. Are you going to tell me your name? Or do I have to start assigning nicknames?"
You turn your face toward the window, hiding your smirk. "Seems a little forward for someone who didn’t even offer me the armrest."
"I was going to give it to you," he says, not even trying to sound sincere. "But then you sat down like you had something to prove."
"I do have something to prove," you say, glancing sideways at him. "That I can survive a three-hour flight without giving a charming stranger my name."
He lets out a low whistle, clearly enjoying himself. "Ah, so it is a challenge."
"Not everything is about you, Ivar."
"But this kind of feels like it is." He grins, then leans in just slightly. "You realize, you’re making me want to earn it now. Your name. Like it’s some rare prize."
You make a thoughtful noise, staring straight ahead as the plane begins to lift off the ground. "Well, it is rare. Exclusive access. Invite only."
"And what do I have to do to get on the list?"
You glance at him out of the corner of your eye, deliberately calm. "You’d have to impress me. Not just charm me. That’s easy. You’ve probably been doing that since birth."
"And impressing you is hard?"
"I have standards."
"Good," he says, voice lower now. "So do I."
You don’t say anything right away. Just let the moment stretch as the plane steadies in the air.
About twenty minutes into the flight, the lights dim to that soft, artificial twilight that makes everyone look like they haven’t slept in three days. You adjust your seatbelt, settle into the window, and try not to let your shoulder brush his. Too much.
Ivar, on the other hand, has no such restraint. Elbow on the armrest, fully claimed, fingers tapping lazily, he glances over.
"You okay?" he asks, and for once the teasing’s gone. His voice is quieter. Gentler. "You’ve been blinking like you’re trying to hypnotize yourself."
You laugh, a little too quick. "Fine. Great. I love being in a giant metal tube 30,000 feet in the air with a stranger who’s trying to guess my name like it’s a game show."
"So you’re not fine," he says, grinning again, like your anxiety just gave him another puzzle piece.
"I’m… selectively fine."
His smile softens. "Tell you what," he says, turning toward you just as the plane hits a pocket of turbulence, the cabin rattling for a second. You go rigid, hands gripping the armrest.
Ivar immediately notices. "Okay. Alright. That was dramatic," he says. "But you know, if we crash, I promise to use my body as a shield. Out of sheer chivalry."
You snort, half laughing, half trying not to scream. "Wow, thanks. That’s very noble of you. And if we survive, I guess I’d owe you my name."
"Oh, absolutely. Minimum. You’d owe me a coffee and probably a long, tragic monologue about how you never expected to fall in love with the man in 21B."
You raise an eyebrow. "We’re up to love already? You move fast."
"I’m a modern man," he says with a wink. "Efficient. Plus, time is short when the sky’s trying to kill us."
You exhale a shaky laugh, pressing your lips together to keep it in check. "You’re enjoying this too much."
"I thrive in chaos."
You glance at him, narrowing your eyes. "So what, you’re a professional flirt with a savior complex?"
"No," he says thoughtfully. "More like a very handsome disaster with excellent instincts and a deep appreciation for women who can outwit me."
That earns him a smirk—What a douche.
"You know," you say, "I might tell you my name. One day."
"Oh?" he leans in slightly, like you just told him a secret. "Is that a promise?"
"No," you reply, tilting your head. "That’s a threat."
He laughs—loud, full-bodied, the kind that draws a few sleepy glances from nearby passengers. Then he looks at you with something quieter, more sincere.
You look at him. And for the first time, the plane doesn’t feel quite so terrifying.
About an hour in, the cabin’s gone quiet—just the hum of the engines, the occasional cough, someone snoring two rows back.
Then comes the gentle clatter of the drink cart rolling down the aisle, accompanied by the flight attendant’s overly chipper whisper "Snacks?"
You straighten, realizing you’ve been zoning out for the past few minutes, your shoulder dangerously close to brushing his. He notices too—his eyes flick to yours like he’d been waiting to see if you’d lean all the way in.
"You awake?"he asks, voice low and amused.
"Barely," you mutter, blinking the sleep out of your eyes. "What time even is it?"
"Time for disappointment in the form of vacuum-sealed pretzels," he replies as the cart stops at your row.
The flight attendant hands you two options—a sad little bag of pretzels, or a mystery granola bar with enough preservatives to last the apocalypse.
You glance at Ivar. "What’s your poison?"
"Pretzels. Always. Granola bars are a trap."
"You say that like you’ve been personally betrayed."
"I have. I once bit into one that tasted like sadness and chalk. Took three years off my life."
You chuckle and grab the pretzels, handing him a bag without asking. He takes it like it’s a sacred offering.
The flight attendant moves on, and you both sit in silence for a beat, opening the crinkly bags like you’re trying not to wake the whole plane. Ivar pops a pretzel in his mouth, chews, then leans toward you.
"So, what’s your deal?"
You blink at him. "Huh? My deal?"
"You know. You’re mysterious. Flight-anxious. Wicked with words. Won’t give me your name. What’s your story?"
You tilt your head, playing along. "Maybe I’m running from something."
His eyes light up. "Love that. A fugitive? Or like... emotionally?"
You pretend to think. "Hm... Both."
He grins. "Knew it. I’m sitting next to a heartbreaker on the run. This is exactly how those spicy books start."
"Spicy books?" You repeat, cackling.
"You know," he says, winking. "The ones with ridiculous covers and titles like Sky High Desire or Turbulence of the Heart."
You laugh, trying to stifle it. "Please stop. That one actually sounds real."
"Oh, it is," he says. "And by the end of the book, the woman always gives the brooding stranger her name and her number."
You turn to him, chewing thoughtfully. "Sounds predictable."
"Maybe," he says. "But the banter is always top tier."
You finish your pretzels, toss the empty bag into the seat pocket, then glance at him. "You read a lot of Turbulence of the Heart, Ivar?"
“I dabble."
A pause. Then, softer "Seriously though. You doing okay?"
The tone shift is subtle, but you feel it. You nod, then after a beat: "Yeah. I just… hate takeoffs. And landings. And the middle part. So basically, all of it."
He nods like that’s perfectly valid. "I get it. I hate boats."
You raise a brow. "This is not a boat."
"Exactly. Which is why I’m here. See? I’m rational."
You smile, softer now. "Thanks. For distracting me."
He bumps your shoulder gently with his. "Anytime, mystery girl."
Then he glances down at your tray table, quiet for a second before adding "But if you do give me your name before we land… I might let you pick our next in-flight movie."
You hum. "Tempting."
"Very."
You’re warm, full of bland pretzels and adrenaline, and the hum of the cabin is oddly soothing now. Your anxiety’s simmered down to a quiet buzz, dulled by Ivar’s steady stream of commentary and chaotic charm.
You pull out your earbuds and scroll aimlessly through the in-flight entertainment, not really watching anything. Ivar glances over.
"Let me guess," he says, "you’re putting on something you won’t actually watch, just to pretend you’re not falling asleep."
You shoot him a look as you stick an earbud in. "Wrong."
He raises an eyebrow, unconvinced. "You sure? Because your eyes are doing that slow blink thing. Like a cat about to nap in a sunbeam."
"I’m just... resting them."
"Mhm. And I’m secretly a skydiving instructor."
"You could be," you mumble as your other earbud goes in. "With that whole danger-in-the-eyes thing."
He grins, smug, then nods toward your tray table. "You might wanna move that before you pass out and crush your water cup in your sleep. Just a professional tip."
You shoot him one more half-hearted glare, then fold up your tray and lean back. The cabin is cool, your sweater isn’t quite enough, and the window side is colder. Without thinking too much about it, you tilt slightly toward him—just enough to steal a little warmth.
And then you’re gone.
Not fully asleep, not fully awake. That delicious, heavy-limbed kind of drowsy where you can hear muffled engine noise and cabin announcements in the background, but none of it feels real. Your head tips to the side.
Lands on something solid. Warm.
Not a pillow.
Ivar’s shoulder.
He glances down, startled for a second, then stills—like if he moves, you’ll bolt. His body tenses slightly, caught between amusement and panic. And just as he’s adjusting to the unexpected weight—You slip.
Your head slides off his shoulder, slowly, traitorously, directly toward his lap.
Ivar reacts fast, one arm shooting out to catch you mid-descent, hand cradling the back of your head like you’re made of glass.
"Whoa—okay, okay," he mutters under his breath, half-laughing, half-concerned. "Let’s not turn this flight into a scandal."
You blink awake groggily, earbuds still in, vaguely aware that your cheek is now nestled against his chest, and his hand is still supporting your head.
You freeze. He doesn’t move.
And then—Fuck—he grins down at you.
"Bold move," he whispers. "I mean, I knew the chemistry was strong, but straight into my lap? On a first flight?"
You groan, eyes squeezing shut. "Kill me."
"Can’t. You’re the highlight of this flight."
You groan and try to sit back, but his arm lingers a little longer than necessary before releasing you. You adjust your seat again, cheeks flushed, tucking your hair behind your ear, trying not to look at him.
But he won’t stop looking at you.
"You’re cute when you sleep," he says, quieter this time. “You were snoring a bit."
You glance at him. "Shut up."
"Do you often throw yourself at men mid-flight, or is this a special service just for 21B?"
"I will literally climb over this seat and disappear forever," you warn.
But you’re laughing now. So is he.
The space between you feels warmer. Tighter. Charged in that way that makes you suddenly hyper-aware of how dark the cabin is. How close you are. How his knee is still resting against yours. How his voice has dropped lower since earlier.
Then he leans in a little closer, voice a whisper now.
"You ever snuck off mid-flight?" he asks, like it’s the most casual thing in the world.
You blink at him. "Into the bathroom?"
"I hear it’s got… excellent ambiance. Cramped. Unstable. Smells like lemon soap and regret."
You snort, trying to suppress it. "That’s not sexy."
"Oh, it could be."
"You’re insane."
"Correct. But,” he pauses, and now there’s a flicker of something heavier in his gaze—intent, smirk playing at the corners of his mouth, “I think you like that."
You stare at him for a beat, your pulse suddenly very aware of itself.
Then you raise a brow, slowly. "You trying to get us banned from this airline?"
"Only if you come with me."

idk if you've written anything like this, but can I request a one shot with Ivar x reader where the reader works for their family and she has a crush on him. She flirts a little here and there and everyone notices except him. But he over hears her talking to someone about it and then confronts her? Kinda angsty but also fluffy at the end.💖
Sorry for the delay. Here we go!
Blind
The kitchen is warm, filled with the familiar sounds of cooking and the heat of the stove. It’s what you’re used to and where you feel confident. You have worked for the Ragnarssons for over a year now, long enough to know their preferences by heart. The heads of the family, Ragnar and Aslaug, prefer fancy meals, as expected of the multi-billion company owners. Hvitserk will eat anything, Ubbe prefers balanced meals, Sigurd complains about everything, and Bjorn rarely stays long enough to care. But Ivar is different.
You know exactly how he likes his coffee; two sugars no cream. You know he prefers his meat rare, no spices and almost leaking with blood. And so, every morning, you take extra care with his meals. You linger a little longer when you set his plate in front of him, brushing your fingers against his when he reaches for his fork. You laugh at his sharp remarks, you lean in when he speaks, and you meet his cold blue stare without flinching. You are utterly and stupidly in love with him.
His brothers notice; they exchange smirks and throw you knowing glances whenever Ivar remains unaware. Hvitserk, never one to hold back, directly tells you one day, “You know, if you want him to notice, you might have to actually slap him with it.��
Ivar, however, remains as clueless as ever. Always focused, always calculating, always somewhere else in his mind. If he notices your efforts, he doesn’t show it. And despite the teasing, despite knowing you’re making a fool of yourself, you can’t seem to stop.
The kitchen is quieter in the evenings, the rush of dinner service long over. Only the low hum of the refrigerator and the occasional clatter of dishes fill the space. You lean against the counter, arms crossed, watching Astrid, the maid, wipe down the last of the surfaces.
“I don’t get why Ivar doesn’t like me back,” you mutter, frustration thick in your voice. “I bring him his favorite meals, I laugh at his terrible jokes, I…” You sigh, dragging a hand through your hair. “What else am I supposed to do? He doesn’t even notice.”
Astrid smirks, tossing the rag over her shoulder. “Maybe he does and just enjoys watching you beg.”
You shake my head. “I don’t beg. And no, I don’t think he knows. It’s like… I’m invisible to him. Or worse, maybe he does notice and just doesn’t care.” The words sting as you say them aloud. That thought has been bothering you for a while now. What if Ivar simply doesn’t care?
The kitchen’s door makes a noise as it closes behind you. You freeze.
Astrid’s eyes go wide, flicking past you before she quickly exits the kitchen through the back door. Traitor. You know who’s behind you now. Your heart pounds as you turn, dread pooling in your stomach.
Ivar is by the threshold, his face unreadable, but he has clearly listened to everything you said. He’s been there the whole time. His fingers drum slowly against the table as he approaches you, his are locked onto you, cold and unwavering. “Say it again,” he demands, his voice quiet laced with something dangerous. “Say I don’t care.”
You swallow hard. “I… I didn’t mean…”
“Say it.”
You hate how your throat tightens, how you feel so small under his gaze. “I wasn’t mocking you, Ivar,” You say quickly. “I was just… frustrated.”
His jaw clenches, something illegible flashing in his eyes. The tension is suffocating, and for the first time, you regret every lingering touch, every lingering look.
Ivar’s eyes narrow, sharp as a blade. “Of course,” he says, voice dripping with cold amusement. “You’re just frustrated. Poor thing. All that effort wasted.” He leans forward, fingers gripping the edge of the counter. “What did you expect, hmm? That I’d fall at your feet like my brothers? That I’d be so grateful for a little attention from you?”
You’re confused, does he think you’re playing him? “That’s not…”
He cuts you off. “Or maybe you just like the challenge. Is that it? The crippled son of Ragnar Lothbrok. The one no one wants, but everyone loves to play with.” His voice is bitter now, laced with something raw, something ugly. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice? You flirt, you linger, you make sure I see you. And why? Because you pity me? Because it’s fun?”
Heat rises in your chest, anger igniting so fast you barely register your own movement. “Are you serious right now?” You slam your hand against the counter, he doesn’t even flinch, but there’s surprise in his eyes. “You really think I’d waste my time playing a game like that?”
He scoffs. “Why not? Everyone else does.”
You shake your head, furious. “You arrogant, infuriating man.” Your breath is uneven, your voice trembles as you force the words out. “I want you, Ivar. Not your money. Not your name. You.” The confession hangs between you, heavy and unshakable. “And if you can’t believe that, then that’s your problem.”
Silence.
The air between you is thick with tension. Ivar just stares at you, like he’s trying to find the lie in your words, like he can’t comprehend what you’re saying. Then, something shifts. He moves.
Before you can say another word, his hands are in your hair, his mouth crashing against yours with a force that steals your breath. It’s not gentle, it’s Ivar; all fire and hunger, a man who takes what he wants without hesitation.
You gasp against his lips, but you don’t pull away. Instead, you grip the front of his shirt, holding him close, meeting his desperation with your own. And in that moment, you know; he sees you now.
Ivar’s breath is warm against your lips, his forehead presses lightly against yours as if grounding himself. His hands are still tangled in your hair, holding you there almost possesingly. Your fingers clutch the fabric of his shirt. Then, he smirks.
“You should’ve tried harder.”
You let out a laugh, but it quickly turns into a glare as you smack his arm. “Are you kidding me right now?”
He chuckles, and for the first time, it’s not sharp with sarcasm or self-doubt. It’s just him, Ivar in a rare display of tenderness and vulnerability. Ivar’s fingers trace down your jaw, his expression softer now. “Say it again,” he murmurs.
You swallow, feeling suddenly shy despite how obvious you’ve been before. “That I like you?”
His smirk never fades, but his gaze is heavier. His thumb brushes over your cheek. “Yes.”
You don’t hesitate again. “I like you, Ivar.”
He leans in again, this time slower. When his lips meet yours, there’s no urgency, no fight, but the heat is clearly still there. Still present in the way his fingers slide to the back of your neck, holding you like he never wants to let go. You smile against his mouth. And this time, he doesn’t miss it.

Summary:
When Reader finished high school she was diagnosed with early stage of ovarian cancer. She put everything on hold to have a baby before it was too late, so she took a sperm donor. Now years later said sperm donor wants to meet his daughter and Reader is against it as she doesn’t know him, to her he was only a picture on the paper.- Modern AU
A/N: It's been a long, long, long, long, long time, but here is a short little thing I wrote
_____________________________________________________________
Time stood for a few moments after Aslaug left your room. Her words touched your heart, but you had to remind yourself that your heart was no longer just yours, but that it belonged to your daughter as well. You could empathize with Aslaug as a mother. There were no vile words in anything she said and that made you even more suspicious. It bothered you how she seemingly left her son’s happiness in a stranger’s hands. You would have never done such a thing to your daughter. You would fight until your last breath to secure her happiness. Because of that fact, you were more than sure that Aslaug lied to you. You felt the love she had for her son and there was nothing that would stop her from destroying your happiness for him.
With only one thing on your mind, you hired a lawyer. You needed to know what you could do to protect your daughter, no matter if you would have to drag Ivar through the mud. After everything was done you had what you needed to fight for her legally, but still, you decided to wait until Ivar or Aslaug made their move. And you waited and waited. Months passed, and you healed completely. Your daughter grew and as time went by, there were no signs of disturbances around you. It even made you wonder if perhaps they were no longer bothered by you, that maybe he had realized that it would be easier to have a child with somebody else. All of those thoughts helped you breathe again. You could not relax entirely, however you were no longer on the edge, as you were ready if they ever appear again. Or so you have thought; as to what happened you wouldn’t wish upon your worst enemy. Nothing could have prepared you for the first time your daughter broke your heart. With one simple word, she reminded you of one thing that you took away from her. The moment you heard her curious voice you were left in shock. Your body couldn’t move and your brain stopped functioning. You had to wonder what you have done in your past life to deserve such a betrayal. With hurried steps, your sisters took the child from your hands giving you an opportunity for an easy escape and you took it. You rushed down the hallway and slipped inside your daughter’s room. After grazing the soft pillow with the tips of your fingers you grabbed her favorite plushy. There was no strength left in your body to carry you to the chair, you just collapsed onto the ground. Sobs escaped past your lips as you inhaled your daughter's scent. You were no longer sure if you were broken because you took away the possibility of your daughter having her biological father in her life or that she would hate you for it. It seemed that Ivar was no longer the only one who wanted a relationship with his daughter. Just moments ago, she was calling out for him during her small birthday party. It was as if she was searching for him in the crowd only to start screaming and crying after not seeing him. What were you to do, you could not answer. But before you knew it your feet dragged you to the building where Ivar worked. You sat on the stone bench close to the entrance still in your slippers and the plushy in your hands. You left everything else at home, even forgetting a sweater. The wind was chilly against your skin and you could feel it creeping up your spine. With minutes passing by coldness sipped deep to your bones. Yet, you refused to move even after two hours had passed. And when the third hour started approaching you saw him heading towards the building. You noticed the way his eyes got wider after spotting you. You couldn’t blame him as almost half a year has passed. You let a soft scoff when he recomposed himself and headed inside the building as if you were nothing but an inconvenience. You couldn’t explain it, but your eyes got teary again and in that moment you gathered enough strength to stand up and go back home to your growing daughter who will never understand why you did what you did, or how you wished for her life to be easy with no disappointments. You couldn’t let her suffer the same fate as you have through your whole childhood; you had to do better for her.

To Call Forth Love - Chapter 18
Here it is, friends! The promised update! A massive thank you to everyone who replied to my prior post. You guys are truly the best and y'all give me the desire to finish this story.
I'll confess, this chapter is short (by my standards). I also feel like its not up to my usual quality of writing, so please give me some grace as I step back into the world of writing and remembering how to use words.
Lastly, if I missed anyone who wants to be added to the new tag list, please let me know!
Words: 3900
Warnings: Violence (both graphic and implied), swearing, Ivar still struggles with feelings
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
The day of reckoning had come. 
A red sun rose that morning. The locals glanced nervously at the sky and muttered under their breath at the strange sight. But Ivar knew what it meant. A blessing on this day from the old gods. 
Everything had fallen into place far more easily than he anticipated, a blessing indeed. The manipulation, the lies shared to convince the traitors to meet with him, feigned ignorance to soothe any worry of their deceptive being known. It all dripped from his lips like poisoned honey, until it was too late. Until the door was shut and a gun was pointed at their heads. Then he dropped the façade and allowed his guile to show. Only then were the traitors introduced to the truth of their failed scheme….and become close acquaintances with his knives. 
It was a day for justice.
A day for vengeance. 
And Ivar relished every moment. 
*****
Amidst the dim light leaking through the few windows into the basement, the stench of dry, stale air, piss and blood permeated. 
Two men knelt on the concrete ground before their executioner. Naked, with their clothing scattered beneath them, cut from their bodies with artful precision. Arms outstretched as in the worship, yet thick rope bound them to this position. Not as devout petitioners, but as those in bondage without even a god able to save them. 
For Armageddon had arrived, led by a blue-eyed devil with a malicious smile and blood dripping from his knives. 
Studying the one still conscious, he casually wiped the traitor's blood from his knife with a clean rag, for he refused to miss a single moment of pain or despair that was to come. 
The trial of judgment had not truly begun yet. This was only the first act. 
A vibration from his phone drew his attention away momentarily as he checked the text. A smirk adorned his face as he replaced the phone in his pocket and returned his gaze to the one before him. 
"They are here." Ivar stated, "should I wake your friend? He's been unconscious for some time now."
The traitor remained silent, his eyes staring at the gray floor, even as blood slid down his skin like raindrops. His chest rose and fell in a slow rhythm, almost as if in meditation. But Ivar knew better. The man was waiting. Biding his time. Enduring the pain until the others came.
Unfortunately for him, no amount of waiting would save him from what was to come. 
Ivar glanced over to the other man on the left. Before he had even been restrained, the man had pissed himself and was begging for mercy, crying out and spewing secrets and half-truths in the futile hope for forgiveness. At the first pass of knives over his flushed skin, he fainted. 
Fucking pathetic. 
At Ivar's command, buckets of cold water had been tossed on the sniveling coward to awaken him. He would not get away from his prescribed torment. Not that easily. Twice the man fainted while receiving his medicine. And twice Ivar had him painfully revived. This third time, Ivar allowed him longer in his brief respite. But no longer. 
The day of vengeance had arrived for those who betrayed the Lothbroks, and Ivar would see they were conscious for every moment of it. 
"Wake him up." 
At Ivar's command, his white-haired driver picked up the bucket at his feet and tossed it on the unconscious man. 
The man sputtered and gagged, returning to the land of the living and the land of his torment. Immediately he began whimpering, as if that could save him. As if anything could save him now. 
The echo of footfalls on the wooden staircase sounded in the basement. 
Ivar's smile widened as he met the pained but calm eyes of the traitor kneeling before him. "Better start fucking begging for forgiveness."
Ragnar came around the corner, followed by Lagertha and Bjorn. A gasp filled the air once they came into sight. A sound of recognition. A sound of disbelief. 
“Please! I'm sorry! He made me do it!” The coward began sobbing, his whole naked body shuddering at the strength of his cries and voice. “Please! I didn't–”
“Silence!” Ragnar roared, drawing close, eyeing both men. A predator inspecting the prey. His bright eyes glared at both men, focusing most of his anger on the one known to him. “You thought you could betray me?” He crouched before them, studying them, reading them. A devilish grin grew on his lips after a moment. “How'd that go?” 
He chuckled darkly as he stepped to the side, already knowing the outcome but here to watch the show. With a quick glance to the side, he gave permission for another to step forward and to hear the case. 
The coward continued to whimper but wisely made no move to steak. A pity really, Ivar was hoping to cut out his tongue. 
"Kalf?" Lagertha asked, coming closer. The initial look of shock faded away, leaving behind confusion and anger. A deadly combination. 
"Lagertha, there's been a misunder-" Kalf started to say but cried out in pain after Ivar hit him on the side of his head with his wolf's head cane. 
Ivar returned the cane to his side, leaning back in his plastic chair casually. "Tsk tsk. You do not speak unless spoken to." He shifted his gaze to his father's first wife. “All the evidence is on the table over there.” 
Lagertha followed the nod of Ivar's head, looking towards a table pressed against the wall. On it were stacks of papers, all the threads from the web of betrayal, cut and laid out to prove his betrayal. Every string, every conversation, every transaction, every knot in the thread. The damning evidence Ivar had been gathering for months. All there in black and white. 
With a resigned sigh, Lagertha glanced down to Ivar. “I believe you.”
Ivar nodded silently, shifting the cane from his left hand to his right, still encased in the damn cast. He had never liked Lagertha and she had never liked him. They tolerated one another but that was the extent, prefering to avoid one another's company in casual or public settings. Except when it came to business. There was an unspoken respect they harbored for one another in this one regard; and for her to take Ivar's word alone on this matter, furthered his respect for her. 
He did notice that Bjorn walked over and started leafing through the papers. Maybe his eldest brother was finally learning to use his half-wit brain. 
The fierce businesswoman moved to stand in front of her lover, seemingly uncaring of the splatters of blood and shredded clothing under her heeled boots. “Why?”
He opened his mouth, eyes full of hurt and hope, but before any sounds escaped, she cut him off. 
“Do not lie to me, Kalf.” She practically snarled, a she-wolf rising in fury, with no sight of a heartbroken lover. 
He gazed at her, tone beseeching. “I did it for us.”
Her hand moved so fast that even Ivar did not catch it until the loud sound of a smack echoed in the basement, followed by Kalf's grunt as his head jerked to the side. 
“If you did it for us, you would have included me in your schemes.”
Kalf worked his jaw before returning his gaze to his lover. “I planned on it, but–” 
Another smack reverberated in the air. 
“Try again.” Lagertha spat out. 
Ivar could see it. The moment Kalf's pretense swiftly crumbled. His face hardened, eyes switching from a hopeful innocence to angry slits. His body tensed as if preparing to fight back, to finally show some spine and no longer take the abuse. 
“I knew we could run the organization better. Make more money and be unstoppable. But I knew…I fucking knew you'd never leave Ragnar. You'd never leave his side because you'll always be his side bitch. So I did what I had to.” Kalf grinned but there was no humor. Blood darkened his teeth, giving him a monstrous look. “Does that make you feel better, baby? I'd have given you everything but you'll always run back to Ragnar. You never stopped loving him, you just got better at hiding it. What a fucking waste. I would have made you a queen!” 
Lagertha yanked out a pistol from the holster on her thigh and aimed it at Kalf's head. Hand steady. Lips in a thin line. Eyes focused on him. A she-wolf ready for the kill. 
Kalf chuckled darkly. “You won't do it, my love. You don't like getting your hands dirty.”
Ivar waited to see the outcome. Ragnar already commanded that Lagertha was to choose Kalf's fate. A fucking waste in Ivar's opinion but he relented. Hopefully he would be given the other one, an example needed to be made. Although the other man was only the accountant to scrub the books and try to hide the betrayal, not the mastermind that Kalf was, he was still involved. That was enough to earn his death. Preferably at Ivar's hands. 
But Kalf's death would be decided by Lagertha. 
Ragnar and Bjorn watched from the sidelines, witnesses to the impending justice against their organization and family. Holding a paper in each hand, fury coated Bjorn's face, understanding of the undermining that had been allowed to run rampant for too long, especially by one he trusted. With arms crossed and an impassive expression, Ragnar watched on. When Ivar caught his eye, he received a nod but returned his gaze to the show, waiting for his ex wife to make a decision. All the papers and what they represented were already reviewed by Ragnar as Ivar discovered the treachery.  
After a long tense moment, a gun shot rang out. Almost deafening in the small basement. Yet no one flinched. The sound as familiar as birdsong for those still breathing. 
Surprise and pleasure flooded through Ivar as the coward's head lolled loosely, brains blown out and splattered on the wall and floor. Payment for his crime painted for all to see.
Kalf jerked his head to look at his accomplice and then back to his lover, confusion and shock in the lines of his face.  
“You shouldn't have dragged Philippe into your mess.” Lagertha calmly said, replacing her pistol at her thigh. “Ivar, he's all yours. Do with him what you want.” She took a step back. “Good bye, Kalf.” Then with the poise of a queen, she turned on her heel and headed back up the stairs, washing her hands of her former lover and his demise. 
In the next moment, a hand landed on Ivar's shoulder. “Good work.” His father commended. He gave him one more fatherly pat before following Lagertha up the stairs. 
Ivar grimaced as he knew his father was following his first wife to help her blow off some steam. Something that happened but no one spoke of. 
A different set of footsteps came to his other side. As Ivar looked up at his eldest brother, a grimace on his own face at his parents, echoed Ivar's own sentiments. With a shake of his head, Bjorn looked down at Kalf who had gone suspiciously silent and still. 
“I thought she would shoot you…guess she thought that was too fucking easy for you.”
Kalf spat out a bloody mess towards Bjorn's leather shoes, eyes blazing and fresh blood trickled down his chin. 
“Have fun with that one.” Bjorn said. “And try to keep your cast clean. Fuck, you'll never get all that blood out.”
“I'll get a new fucking one. Fucking hell.”
“Fine.” Bjorn crossed his arms over his broad chest. “What are you going to do with him?”
Ivar shrugged, examining the man like a piece of marble waiting to be sculpted. “Cut off each of his own fingers and make him eat them?”
“That's disgusting.” Bjorn shuddered. “Don't take too long. We need you in Spain. We got a call on the way here.”
“What happened?” 
“I'll fill you in after your fun, but it sounds like you'll be there a few days.”
“Okay.”
The eldest Lothbrok son opened his mouth for a moment, then stopped to lick his lips before starting quietly again. “Have you…have you heard from her yet?”
There was only one her that Bjorn could possibly be referring to and it made Ivar's blood boil even as his heart shattered. 
“Shut the fuck up.” Ivar seethed, fingering the head of his cane, wondering how much trouble he would get in if he broke Bjorn's shins by striking him.
As if sensing the impending violence, Bjorn backed away. “Call me when you're done here.”
Ivar grunted, still beyond pissed his brother would bring her up right now. 
“You know…my mom mentioned that Kalf had an almost irrational fear of fire.” 
At Bjorn's lazy comment, Kalf's head lifted to stare at Ivar, face blanched and eyes wide with panic. 
A truly ferocious grin appeared on the youngest Lothbrok's face at the pure terror radiating from the man before him. Even when his flesh had been pierced with Ivar's knives, beaten with Ivar's cane, the man had endured without fear. Oh, but the sweet scent of terror that radiated off him now…
Ivar barely heard Bjorn's retreating footsteps up the stairs. He turned to look at his driver, his long white hair tied back, highlighting his cruel scar on the side of his face. 
“Toss me your lighter.”
Pleas for mercy tainted the air, but not for long.
*********
As he stepped out of the elevator, it took all of his mental capability to keep his feet moving purposefully and his gait steady. His eyes were gritty and dry from lack of sleep, his body threatened to revolt against his restless mind and collapse in desperate need of rest. He refused to acknowledge it, propelling himself forward. After this one last meeting, he would allow himself to give in and seek the rest his body so desperately needed. 
Ignoring those scurrying around, he passed the several offices on the top floor of Ragnarssons Trading. The scowl he wore must have been fearsome for how quickly it made those plebeians scatter out of his way. Wise on their part. He was in no mood for empathy or kindness, traits he was not commonly known for anyway. He just wanted to fucking sleep. The temptation to stab anyone who tried to stop him was exceptionally high. 
“You live!” 
“Fuck off.” Ivar grumbled, more out of habit than true ill intent. Well, if he tried to stop him, there may be some violence. 
Falling into step with him, Hvitserk looked smart in his gray suit, a clear contrast from Ivar's own rumpled jeans with t-shirt and leather jacket. “How was Spain? No, wait, you were just in Morocco. Or was it Turkey again?” 
“India.”
“Hmm…What I heard, you've spent more time in dungeons and airplanes than in a bed. Those bags under your eyes make you look like a zombie. Ah hell, when did you last sleep?”
Ivar grunted, annoyed with his brother's ceaseless chatter and the reminder of his lack of self-care. “Father in his office?”
“I think so. I was about to go for a late lunch. Want me to wait for you?”
“No, I'd probably fall asleep before the food came.”
Hvitserk chuckled but did not dispute the claim. 
The pair arrived at the door for Ragnar's office. With a quick knock on the wood and a following ‘enter’, Hvitserk opened the door for them. 
Ragnar sat at his large desk, an organized chaos to all the things upon it. Scattered papers and files resided in piles, along with a cheap, tourist paper map of Stockholm spread out and a bronzed human skull which Ragnar refused to admit if it was real or not. Ivar had always bet it was real. 
Torstein also occupied the room, standing behind the desk beside Ragnar, pointing at the laptop screen open in front of them. They must have been continuing speaking of logistics for a particular expansion of goods into Stockholm. 
At their entrance, Ragnar kept his gaze on the screen while addressing him. “I thought you were coming in tomorrow?”
“I can just as easily report today.” Ivar ungraciously plopped into one of the leather chairs in front of Ragnar's desk. He winced at the impact and the sharp pain shooting down his legs. With more care, he set his right hand, still in the cast, on the arm rest. 
At Ivar's audible pained inhale, Ragnar aimed his piercing gaze at his youngest son. “You look like shit.”
Ivar snorted. “The devil doesn't sleep and neither do I.”
That made Ragnar smirk and Torstein chuckle. From the other seat beside him, Ivar could feel Hvitserk's eye roll. Everyone knew that Ivar had been running himself ragged, anything to keep himself busy, which usually involved his face glued to a computer or phone screen or blood on his hands. Ever since Kalf's fall from grace and his fiery demise, Ivar had been cauterizing the wound left in the company…and reminding people what happened when they placed themselves on the Lothbrok's bad side. 
“Suit yourself. Tor, finish this and I'll make a phone call–” Ragnar spoke to his friend but Ivar tuned him out. 
He closed his eyes, dropping his chin to his chest as he waited. His father was not wrong. He felt like shit. Then again, he had felt like shit for the past three weeks now, ever since Kari had told him she needed space. So he focused on what he could do for the family business. Anything to distract himself from what his heart yearned for. During this time, he learned it was easier to feel physically shitty and move on. It was much harder to ignore and move on when his heart was fractured and bleeding her name. 
Eyes closed, his mind began to drift lazily like an autumn leaf, thoughts moving at a sluggish pace due to his exhaustion. He had tried to sleep in his car on the way here from the airport but sleep eluded him- still too wound up from the flight, too many cigarettes and too much caffeine. The trifecta of sleep deprivation. He never slept on planes, even on private planes, he could never relax enough. Especially when they flew over open water. 
A buzzing from his pocket jerked him out of his almost meditative state. Without opening his eyes, he dug around in his pocket and pulled his personal phone out. Only a few people had his private number, preferring to direct most of his calls to his work phone, which lay silent in his other pocket. 
“‘eah?” He mumbled amidst a sudden yawn. 
A hesitant but professional male voice spoke. “Mr Lothbrok?” 
“Huh?”
“Is this–ah, is this Ivar Lothbrok?”
His brain awoke on full alert at the implementation that a stranger had his personal number. “Who the fuck are you?” Those sluggish thoughts went into overdrive, trying to recognize the voice or how this fucker got a hold of his number. 
“I'm Nurse Olsen, calling from the General Hospital. A patient we have gave us your name and number as an emergency contact. My apologies for bothering you, we just needed to verify. Do you know a Kari Larsen?”
What racing thoughts died a spectacular death by crashing into a wall of shock and disbelief. 
Someone was calling him about Kari. 
As an emergency contact. 
From a hospital. 
Where she is a patient. 
A PATIENT!
In a strange form of whiplash, his brain went from a screeching halt in shock to overdrive of all the reasons she could possibly be in the hospital, each scenario worse than its predecessor. “Is she hurt?” He wheezed out, as his heart and lungs threatened to be strangled with the sudden fear that exploded within him. 
“Sir, I'm not allowed to discuss patients’ wellbeings over the phone–”
“IS SHE HURT?!” He screamed, the building panic in his chest rising higher and higher, suffocating him. 
His mind easily conjured her laying in a hospital bed, nurses and doctors swarming her like parasites, sticking tubes in her, cleaning up her precious blood, all in an attempt to save her. She laid there unconscious to her precarious position. Or maybe she was screaming for him. That was how they got his number. She needed him as she lay dying. 
He drew a ragged breath but it failed to relieve the painful pressure in his chest. Gods, if she died….he promised. He promised to take care of her. 
A new level of loathing sunk its claws into him, a demon from the darkest pits burrowed into his mind, taunting, tormenting. 
He had promised. 
And he failed. 
Again. 
“Mr Lothbrok, are you able to come to the hospital?” The nurse sighed before speaking again. 
“Yes.” He croaked out. 
“Excellent, what you can do is park–”
But the nurse's explanation was cut off as Ivar ended the call. 
Ivar stumbled to his feet, grabbing the edge of the desk to steady himself. The floor beneath him shifted and rolled like waves. Or maybe it was the demon cackling in his ears, messing with his equilibrium. Spots danced in his vision but he ignored them, pushing past. He had to get to her. He had to see her. Was his heart even beating anymore? His chest burned, each breath a struggle to take. As he tried to slip his phone back into his pocket, he realized his hands were shaking. Or was it his whole body?  
What exhaustion previously had taken root was brutally ripped out and replaced with a buzzing, paralyzing panic. 
“Ivar? What happened?” Hvitserk's voice broke through. His hands grabbed his younger brother's shoulders, saving him from falling in his unstable haste to move. “Ivar?!”
“I–I have to go to the hospital.” Tears welled in his eyes, that terror and panic finally having risen to his mind, strangling his rationality, constricting his thoughts until all he could think of was Kari and he failed. 
“What happened? Oh shit. Is…was that about Kari?” Hvitserk's eyes widened in horror. 
“She's there.” Ivar gasped, weakly pushing his brother aside, hands still shaking. ”She's there right now. I have to go– fuck, I've got to see her.” 
Stumbling, forcing himself faster than his crippled legs would allow, to escape the way his chest was collapsing even as he fought for breath, fought for each step. He had to see her. There was no other option. 
She had to be okay. His kitten. He refused. He fucking refused to believe she was dying, even as his mind continued to create horrific scenes. 
This was not how he wanted to be reunited with her. 
Hvitserk grabbed his arm, steadying his erratic pace. “I'm coming with you.”
Gratitude swelled within Ivar but the panic clogging his throat refused to let the words pass. 
The two rushed into the hallway, as fast as Ivar's crippled legs would allow. Hvitserk already had his phone out, calling Ivar's driver to have his car ready at the front for them. At the pounding footfalls behind them, Ivar glanced over his shoulder to see Ragnar following like an intimidating guardian angel. 
Ragnar snarked. “Hurry your ass up or I'll carry you on my back like when you were a boy.”
“You're too fragile, old man.” Ivar managed to retort. 
“Shut the fuck up, you little asshole, and let's go get your girl.”
As the three of them hurried out of the building, the same thought swirled like a growing storm in his mind. 
Hold on, Kari, I'm coming. Just please hold on.

Everything is for real
ivar the boneless || imagine || часть 8
Tumblr media
все части
Метки: семейный ужин Лодброков; сцена 18+; немного романтики
Слов: 5 110
Ты укладываешь свои волосы, стоя перед зеркалом в комнате Ивара. Твой образ готов, на тебе платье, макияж, украшения. Осталось только обуться, что ты оттягивала, поскольку меньше всего хотела надевать каблуки.
— Ты великолепно выглядишь, — Ивар подходит к тебе, кладёт ладони на твою талию и оставляет поцелуй на макушке. Ты была права, когда говорила о том, что можешь понять, как одеться к определённому случаю, потому что твой образ идеален. Сдержанный, но не слишком, праздничный, но не настолько, что ты походила на новогоднюю ёлку. Ты также выглядела дорого, заставляя Ивара думать, что ты прекрасно понимаешь, где находишься.
Он не в первый раз замечает, какие твои действия точные и подходящие. Дело было не только в твоём нынешнем образе для семейного рождественского ужина, но и в том, что в очередной раз Ивар замечает – ты знаешь, что и как делать. Даже твоё притворство в ваши первые дни знакомства с его семьёй, тогда ты вела себя правильно, почти идеально, всё чтобы его родные поняли, что ты близка с Иваром.
И может эти мысли заставляют его верить в ваше общее будущее и угомонить свой пыл. Потому что ты точно знала, что делаешь, иначе не была бы здесь с ним и не была бы такой заботливой вчера. Иначе не дала бы ему шанс.
//Твои поцелуи нежные и ласковые, когда твоя ладонь поглаживают его живот и грудь. Ты лежала рядом с ним, в тёплой постели, пока за окном темнота, холодный ветер громко завывает. Ивар больше не думал о том, что было в ресторане, теперь все его мысли крутились вокруг тебя. Ты просто была в его голове, снова перетянула внимание на себя и заставляла его всё больше и больше мечтать о вашем совместном будущем.
Он лежал на спине, пока ты была рядом с ним, в одной футболке, но всё ещё в нижнем белье. Ты могла быть без штанов этой ночью, чтобы отчасти неким образом подбодрить своего парня. Показать, что ты готова идти к нему навстречу. И тебе не было стыдно за это, даже если ты не собиралась в ближайшее время переходить черту вашей сексуальной близости.
Твои губы мягкие и тёплые, когда ты оставляешь очередной поцелуй на линии челюсти Ивара. Он обнимает тебя одной рукой, дотрагиваясь до твоей талии. Ему нравится спокойствие, полученное благодаря тебе.
— Ты когда-нибудь ненавидела Фрейдис, когда я был в отношениях с ней? — интересуется Ивар, нарушая молчание между вами.
Единственный звук в тёмной комнате доносится с улицы. Вы можете только немного видеть друг друга благодаря слабому свету от фонаря, который был на углу дома и его лучи света попадали в спальню.
— Именно о твоей бывшей, мы будем говорить в постели, — произносишь ты, отчасти насмехаясь над этим. Но Ивар не улыбается, он продолжает смотреть на тебя, желая слышать ответ. В твоей голове крутится мысль о том, что Ивар не просто так спросил тебя об этом. — Может немного, в начале, когда ты почти перестал общаться со мной. Я подумала, на этом всё и закончится. Я потеряю очередного друга. Из-за того, что он выбрал «любовь», — ты даже показываешь кавычки одной рукой, которая до этого покоилась на обнажённой груди Ивара.
— У тебя же были ещё друзья? Мы тогда...
— Ты был мне близок. Я просто думала о том, что... между нами есть определённое понимание друг друга. То, чего не бывает порой у братьев или сестёр, — сразу произносишь ты, понимая, что твой парень мог понять тебя неправильно.
— Значит, ты ревновала? Хотя бы немного.
— Это скорее была небольшая обида и грусть, — сразу говоришь ты, чувствуя себя уязвимой, потому что тебе иногда сложно говорить о своих чувствах и показывать их. Но сейчас ты чуть ли не признаёшься ему, что боялась, что лишишься его из-за другой девушки. — Я думала, что потеряю тебя.
Ивар кладёт ладонь на твою голову, ласково поглаживая тебя по волосам, зарывшись в них пальцами. Ты поднимаешь на него взгляд и смотришь в голубые глаза. Его губы накрывают твои заставляя тебя немного мурлыкать во время поцелуя, от неожиданности и небольшой резкости твоего парня. \\
— Ты тоже хорошо выглядишь, — ты невольно улыбаешься ему, когда смотришь на его отражение в зеркале.
Ивар утыкается носом в изгиб твоей шее, чувствуя знакомый запах духов. Он был доволен, ты выглядела счастливой рядом с ним. Это единственное, что ему по-настоящему требовалось.
Когда вы спускаетесь на первый этаж, то большинство уже сидят за столом, но нет Рагнара, Лагерты, Бьёрна и его жены. Аслауг, конечно же, недовольна тем, что они опаздывают, но она просто сидит на своём месте, пока что она не злоупотребляет вином.
Рагнар был в городе и не проводил время со своими сыновьями во время праздников. Его дети также не совсем воспылали к нему любовью, как и он к ним, несмотря на время.
Ивар успел тебе рассказать, ещё когда вы были друзьями, что раньше он тянулся к своему отцу намного больше, чем сейчас. Однако это быстро прошло, когда он увидел, сколько боли Рагнар доставил Аслауг.
Хвитсерк с Эшли тоже ��емного опаздывают, но только потому, что знали, что не все ещё собрались и если бы кто-то задумался, то понял бы, почему именно эти двое так долго задерживаются в комнате Хвитсерка.
Ты заметила, что девушки Рагнарссонов прекрасно выглядели. Аслауг была в великолепном платье, как и Торви. Блайя более ухоженная, чем обычно, хотя платье на ней не такое уж и праздничное. Ты приняла это за то, что она не желает менять свой стиль. Но это не так уж и сильно тебя касается, ты скорее всё ещё под впечатлением от вида Аслауг, которая на твой взгляд выглядела божественно. Ты не знала о её весомых минусах, но ты всё ещё была той, кто восхищался ею. Тебе было этого достаточно, Аслауг была милой и уважительной с тобой, пока ты старалась быть воспитанной и благодарной ей за тёплый приём.
Уббе теперь не так подозрителен к тебе, он заметил доверие и искренность между тобой и своим братом. И ты не казалась коварной сукой, планирующей отобрать у Ивара деньги и разбить его сердце. Может Уббе подумал о том, что тебе стоит быть с его братом, потому что Ивар будто стал одновременно спокойнее и довольнее.
Ты перешёптываешься с Иваром, когда сидишь за столом рядом с ним. Все ждут первую семью Рагнара, пока Уббе общается с Аслауг, а Торви со своими детьми. Сигурд слушает свою девушку, пока та что-то рассказывала ему.
— Ты никогда не говорил о том, что любишь вишнёвый пирог, — произносишь ты, когда Ивар признаётся в том, что надеется на десерт в виде вишнёвого пирога, который его мать обычно готовит на Рождество.
Ты и впрямь никогда не слышала о том, что твой теперь парень любит вишнёвый пирог, обычно он заказывал что-то другое, когда вы были вместе.
— Мне нравится только тот, что готовит моя мама, — он пожимает плечами, выглядя совершенно непринуждённо, и ты невольно улыбаешься.
Иногда Ивар был слишком милым, из-за чего твоё сердце легко таило.
Вас никто не слышит, и вы не обращаете внимания на чужие разговоры. Однако Уббе кидает на вас двоих взгляд, замечая, что Ивар и ты снова шушукаетесь между собой. Ведёте себя как подростки, что, наконец, добрались друг до друга и не можете насытиться. Он не видел, чтобы подобное было у его брата с Фрейдис. И это также успокаивает Уббе, он всё больше находит подтверждение тому, что ты подходишь к его семье или может ты слишком хорошая актриса.
— Значит, мне нужно научиться готовить вишнёвый пирог? — ты чуть ли не мурлычешь ему на ухо.
— Ты не обязана.
— Я умею готовить, Ивар, и вишнёвый пирог и другие пироги. — Твои глаза наполнены хитростью, пока твои губы искаженны в ухмылке, а голос слишком сладкий.
— Ты никогда не говорила, что готовишь, — выдаёт он, и впрямь немного удивлённый.
Тебе прекрасно было известно, что сейчас большинство людей не хотели, или не умели готовить, но ты умела и занималась этим, когда хотела или когда была необходимость.
— Ты никогда не спрашивал, — просто произносишь ты.
— Значит, мне теперь нужно составить анкету с вопросами по типу «умеешь ли ты готовить»? — интересуется Ивар усмехаясь.
Ты только хихикаешь.
— Мы можем узнавать друг друга постепенно, ты бы всё равно узнал о том, что я готовлю, — произносишь ты. — Мы же теперь в отношениях.
Ивар не успевает ничего сказать тебе, потому что в столовую заходит Рагнар, Лагерта и её сын со своей женой. Все затихают, но потом сразу же приветствуют друг друга, кто-то кивком, кто-то в голос, но никто не обнимается. Ты продолжаешь сидеть рядом с Иваром всего на пару секунд встречаясь взглядом с Рагнаром, потом с Лагертой, затем с Бьёрном и его женой. Аслауг выглядела недовольной, но все остальные казались дружелюбными.
Рагнар был тем, кто пытался заговорить первым. Бьёрн был тем, кто поддержал его. Хвитсерк сидел рядом с тобой, а Эшли рядом с ним. С Эшли села Ингрид, и это было относительно опасно для всего этого праздника. Лагерта села рядом с Рагнаром, когда тот сидел во главе стола напротив Аслауг. Торви постепенно начинает говорить с Лагертой, пока Аслауг чувствовала небольшую ревность и обиду на жену Уббе.
Аслауг была той женщиной, которая открыто, нуждается в любви и открыто демонстрировала это. Ты заметила, что она более нежная и мягкая, не из тех женщин, кто собирается вечно быть одной. Она из тех, кто просто обидеться на мужчину, пока Лагерта была той, кто будет мстить за то, что с ней поступили несправедливо.
Ивар, ты, Хвитсерк и Сигурд со своей девушкой в основном молчали. Ты, потому что не была уверена, что тебе стоит вообще что-то говорить. В конце концов, ты не так близка с этими людьми и знакома. Ивар потому что знал, что легко сейчас может начать ссору с кем угодно. Хвитсерк потому что больше увлечён едой. Сигурд просто в своих мыслях, как и его девушка. Другие очень даже активно общались.
И ты искренне надеялась, что тебе не придётся участвовать в разговоре. Но Ингрид, жена Бьёрна, решила, что нужно затащить тебя в беседу.
— Т\И, — она окликает тебя. — Ты слышала, что я сказала?
В её тоне есть нотки надменности, из-за чего ты сразу чувствуешь раздражение. Было много вещей, которые никогда бы не затронули тебя и не заставили бы быть злиться. Но также было несколько вещей, которые заставляли тебя сходить с ума и испытывать к человеку невероятную неприязнь и ненависть.
— Да, я слышала, что ты сказала. Просто думала, как тебе ответить, чтобы ты поняла, — произносишь ты, чувствуя на себе взгляды всех.
За столом повисает молчание, а ты уже понимаешь, что не собираешься уступать девушке, которая раньше работала моделью и теперь её уже пару лет никуда сниматься не брали. Тебе пришлось это узнать сегодня от Хвитсерка, который узнал это от Эшли, которая "перерыла" интернет ради этой информации. И теперь ты была чертовски благодарна этой девушке, хотя всё ещё не обмолвилась с ней ни словом с последнего семейного ужина.
— Нет. Я ни разу не трахалась ни с одним из своих клиентов, — выдаёшь ты, когда все всё ещё смотрят на тебя, ожидая услышать более мягкий ответ, на идиотский вопрос Ингрид.
Она просто озвучила это: «Кто не переспит со звездой. Ты ведь работала со знаменитостями, Т\И, тебе не хотелось кого-нибудь из них? Наверняка, ты пользовалась своим положением». Ты просто слышала в её голосе предвзятость, будто она желала задеть тебя. Признаться, будь она умней, то подружилась бы с тобой, и ты может, смогла бы пристроить её куда-нибудь. Но видимо, она слишком глупа, чтобы воспринимать тебя всерьёз.
Ингрид молчит слишком долго, пока все смотрят на неё, желая услышать ответ. Но ей не лезет в голову что-то остроумное. Она немного краснеет и чувствует, как по телу распространяется жар.
— Смотря, какие клиенты, — выдаёт она, и тогда каждый видит, как ты стараешься удержать все свои мысли касаемо того, чтобы упрекнуть её. Она явно заявляет о твоей не компетенции.
Твои губы расплываются в улыбке, когда ты понимаешь, что знай, она с кем ты работала, сгорела бы от завести. Но ты меньше всего хотела хвастаться.
— Тебе лучше знать, — произносишь ты, и тогда все кидают на тебя взгляд.
Ваша небольшая ругань точно могла бы продолжиться, если бы Торви не вмешалась со своим вопросом. Хотя это заставило других женщин вспомнить о своей неприязни друг к другу.
— Куда вы собираетесь поехать, чтобы отпраздновать Новый год? — интересуется жена Уббе, кинув взгляд на Аслауг.
— Не знаю. — Она выглядит спокойной и непоколебимой. — Мы вообще собираемся куда-то ехать? — Аслауг смотрит на своего мужа, который смотрит на неё.
Рагнар знал, что просто обязан поехать с Аслауг куда-нибудь, чтобы отпраздновать наступление Нового года. Хотя он не совсем этого желал, и хотя он провёл последние дни в Дании с Лагертой, даже не насладившись её телом, он всё же чувствовал себя обязанным отвести свою нынешнюю жену, куда она пожелает.
— Конечно, мы собираемся куда-то ехать, — выдаёт Рагнар, невольно забавляясь своим ответом, хотя это чертовски злит Аслауг и по её взгляду это можно заметить. Она знает, что Лагерта смотрит на неё и, может быть, Рагнар обещал что-то своей бывшей жене, которая всё ещё выглядела так, будто она позвала всех на ужин.
— Куда-то? — На лице Аслауг проскальзывает раздражение, и ты всего на пару секунд думаешь, что сейчас может быть очень громкая ссора.
Однако Рагнар игнорирует свою жену, ничего не отвечает, просто пьёт свой виски, пока все за столом смотрят на него.
Ивар невольно хмурится, чувствуя небольшую ответственность за то, чтобы защитить свою маму, о��нако он держит язык за зубами, уже давно поняв, что ему просто не стоит лезть в ссоры своих родителей.
Уббе готов был влезть в ссору, но только, чтобы успокоить её и в очередной раз вести себя как миротворец. Однако он пока что сдерживает себя, желая не лезть в конфликт, который ещё не так серьёзен. Хвитсерку всё равно, раньше ему просто не нравились ссоры его семьи, но после того, как он посещал психолога в клинике по реабилитации, то пришёл к выводу, что ему всё равно на своих родителей. Его отцу было всё равно, его матери было всё равно, и теперь Хвитсерк уверен, что его наплевательское отношение к семье было правильным.
Сигурд же отчасти получал удовольствие. Его мать никогда должным образом не давала ему почувствовать себя любимым, поэтому он получал странное садистическое удовольствие, когда его отец причинял некую боль Аслауг. Сигурд никогда не признает этого, даже не признается самому себе.
Рагнар продолжает молчать, пока все чувствуют себя относительно неловко, кроме Хвитсерка, который наблюдает за всеми, продолжая, есть.
— Я принесу десерт. Помоги мне, пожалуйста, — произносит Аслауг, посмотрев на тебя.
Ты немного удивлена тому, что она просит именно тебя о помощи, но всё равно поднимаешься со своего места и уходишь за ней. Постепенно ты можешь догадаться, что она позвала тебя не из-за личного желания и предпочтения в твою сторону, а из-за того что Торви отдавала уважение Лагерте, от того, что Эшли и девушка Сигурда были теми, с кем Аслауг не желала общаться. Но она могла бы им вежливо улыбаться и стараться не сказать лишнего. Ты казалась самой подходящей из всех девушек. Может, из-за того, что ты была девушкой Ивара, она просто хотела показать ему своё одобрение. Ты бы не удивилась, если бы все эти причины были настоящие.
В любом случае ты не была против. Ужин продолжился спокойно, Бьёрн уже чаще просил свою жену молчать, особенно, когда она пыталась приставать к Торви, расспрашивая её о том, как она стала женой Бьёрна, а потом Уббе.
Ты невольно замечаешь, как Хвитсерк забирал предложенный Эшли кусок пирога.
Ивар в какой-то момент положил свою ладонь на твоё колено, поглаживая тебя и желая больше молчать. Он недоволен присутствием Лагерты, не только потому, что она выглядела так, будто сама их всех сюда позвала, но и потому что она была той, кто попытался отсудить большую часть прибыли Рагнара, когда тот перешёл на другой бизнес, оставив многое детям и Аслауг.
После того как начали приходить новые незнакомые тебе люди, обнимаясь с Аслауг и приветствуя детей Рагнара, ты почувствовала себя взволнованной. Ивар всё время рядом с тобой, что, конечно же, успокаивало тебя.
Аслауг приветствует мужчину, который тепло ей улыбается, пока ты и Ивар поневоле находитесь рядом.
— Моего сына ты помнишь, Ивар, а это его девушка – Т\И. Т\И, это Харальд, друг семьи. – Аслауг улыбается и держит стакан с шампанским в руках.
— Очень приятно с вами познакомиться, — произносит Харальд, улыбаясь тебе, пока ты также говоришь, что рада с ним познакомиться.
Аслауг увлекается беседой с Харальдом, пока Ивар и ты уже не так интересны ей. Ни ты, ни твой парень не расстроены. Вы тихо отстраняетесь и уходите.
— Ты выглядишь скучающей, — произносит Ивар, наклонившись к тебе, шепча на ухо.
— Может, я и впрямь немного скучаю, — признаёшься ты, понимая, что это звучит слегка эгоистично, когда ты озвучиваешь это. Но ты заметила, что Хвитсерк со своей девушкой пропал, как и Сигурд, Уббе беседует с гостями, пока его жена пошла, укладывать детей.
— Мне нужно покурить, пошли. — Ивар знал, что ты не куришь, но оставлять тебя здесь одну он не хочет и зная, что тебе может это не понравится.
Уже через пару минут, вы с Иваром были на заднем заснеженном дворе. Снег под вашими ботинками тихо хрустит, пока вы медленно направлялись чуть дальше. Маленькие снежинки медленно падают с неба, опускаясь на землю и на тебя с Иваром.
Он достаёт свою пачку сигарет, молча предлагает тебе, но ты отказываешься. Он делает это ради приличия, зная, что может ты, могла захотеть после пары бокалов спиртного. Ивар и ты направляетесь чуть дальше во двор. Он был достаточно большим, не как у среднестатистического дома. Здесь было полно заснеженных деревьев и закрытый бассейн. Небольшой лабиринт из низких кустов, по которому вы идёте с Иваром, пока он курит.
— Твои родители не уедут на Новый год? — интересуешься ты, когда ладонь Ивара держит твою.
— Учитывая сегодняшний вечер, я не удивлюсь, если они решат не ехать, — произносит Ивар, когда вы подходите к концу небольшой дорожки. Перед вами стоит столик и стулья, но покрытые снегом.
— Ты переживаешь?
— Мне всё равно, если они останутся на праздник, — произносит Ивар.
— Я про твоих родителей. Тебя разве не волнует их ссора?
— Меня волнует, что мой отец неуважительно относится к женщине, которая вырастила меня и моих братьев, которые и его сыновья. — Он тушит сигарету, после чего залезает в карман, желая достать кое-что для тебя.
Ты внимательно смотришь на Ивара, пока фонари во дворе, освещают местность вокруг и помогают вам с Иваром видеть друг друга. В твоих глазах мелькает сочувствие и уважение к твоему парню.
— Я знаю, мы говорили о том, что не будем ничего дарить друг другу, но я кое-что купил тебе. Ещё до того, как мы говорили об этом, — произносит Ивар, и видит, как ты невольно хмуришься, от замешательства.
— Ивар...
— Ты не можешь не принять его, — произносит он, пока ты смотришь на небольшую красивую коробочку с маленьким бантиком.
Ты не расстроена. Принимая подарок, желая узнать, что в коробочке. Ивар внимательно наблюдает за тем, как ты открываешь коробку и смотришь на золотой не слишком толстый браслет, с небольшим медальоном. Это солнечный круг с двумя пересекающимися квадратами. Ты поднимаешь взгляд на Ивара, он выглядел так, будто ждал твоего восторга, но на твоём лице было небольшое непонимание.
— Это оберег «Валькирия», — просвещает тебя Ивар, давая тебе понять, что это также было значимо для него. — Он даёт защиту и силы. Лучи солнца символизируют силу любви ко всему живому, а квадраты родную землю. У меня есть такой же. Раньше воины использовали его на щитах, жёны викингов носили его на себе.
Ты невольно улыбаешься от всей этой истории. Это большой жест для Ивара, потому что ты знала, он был тем человеком, кто больше увлекался язычеством, чем христианством. Он искренне надеялся, что тебе понравится его подарок, хотя он знал, что ты не так погружена в скандинавское язычество, как он.
— Это очень красиво, — произносишь ты, когда убираешь коробочку в карман, а браслет держишь в руках. Подвеска на браслете была небольшой, но всё равно достаточно сверкала под светом фонарей. — Спасибо, Ивар.
Ты тянешься к нему, заключая его в объятия и оставляя поцелуй сначала на его губах, а потом на его щеке. Ивар обнимает тебя в ответ за талию, прижимая к себе намного ближе, пока ты наслаждаешься вашей близостью, которая заставляла его расслабиться и насладиться моментом, пока он уткнулся носом в изгиб твоей шеи.
— Помоги мне его застегнуть, — произносишь ты, отстранившись от своего парня, и протянув ему браслет.
Ивар, конечно же, помогает тебе с браслетом, после чего ты снова робко и мягко целуешь его и отстраняешься.
— Вернёмся внутрь? — интересуешься ты.
Ивар снова целует тебя, заставляя тебя чувствовать что-то странное внутри своего живота и груди. Ты никогда особо не верила в бабочек, о которых писали, пели или снимали так много фильмов, но сейчас твои чувства можно было назвать «бабочками в животе», которых ты не планируешь признавать. Но ты планируешь признать, что испытываешь к Ивару определённое чувство под названием «слишком сильная влюблённость».
— Я кое-что тоже приготовила тебе, хоть это не такая значимая вещь, — произносишь ты, пока Ивар дотрагивается до твоей щеки поглаживает её большим пальцем.
Его губы расплываются в довольной улыбке. Он бы не ожидал от тебя подарка, хотя его удивляет, что ты что-то подготовила.
— Я приготовила его ещё до нашего отъезда. Подумала, что будет правильно сделать это, учитывая, что ты привёз меня сюда, — произносишь ты, когда смотришь в его голубые глаза.
— Это очень мило, — выдаёт Ивар, продолжая любоваться тобой.
Ты невольно хихикнула от его слов.
— Мило? — Ты невольно удивляешься его словам.
— Да. — Он пожимает плечами. — Ты дарила мне подарки только на мои дни рождения.
— Раньше мы не были вместе на зимних праздниках, — произносишь ты.
Ивар снова целует тебя, после чего вы направляетесь обратно в дом. Стоит вам дойти до двери, когда из дома выскакивает Эшли, а за ней Хвитсерк. Она выглядела заплаканной, когда направлялась к небольшим воротам дома.
Однако ни ты, ни Ивар не обращаете на это должного внимания. Ты заходишь, первая в дом, пока Ивар идёт за тобой. Вы снимаете верхнюю одежду и проходите в гостиную, где гости общаются между собой и продолжают выпивать.
Вы с Иваром проходите к лестнице, никто из вас видимо не хотел задерживаться внизу. Ты предполагала, что под утро вы будете теми, кто узнает какого это приносить удовольствие друг другу. Тебе казалось, что сейчас лучшее время для этого. Может, в тебе говорил алкоголь, который ты выпила за столом, может вся эта атмосфера праздника и вашего уединения среди общества с Иваром, а может ты просто не хотела портить момент. Ты всё равно желала прикосновений Ивара. Он был тем, кто нравился тебе, он был тем, кто заставлял твоё сердце биться чаще, и сейчас ты не могла отрицать своих чувств к нему.
Ивар держит тебя за руку, когда вы заходите в комнату, и он закрывает дверь на замок. Сквозь окно падает свет от фонаря, что был на углу дома, снег так и продолжал спускаться на землю. Ты первая целуешь Ивара, думая о том, что отдашь ему подарок позже или завтра утром, ты уверена, что не удивишь его, потому что это был обычный подарок, ничего особенного.
Ладони Ивара спускаются к твоим бёдрам, желая поскорее обхватить твою попу. Он подталкивает тебя к кровати, и ты поддаёшься, отходишь назад на своих ��аблуках, наслаждаясь поцелуем и его прикосновениями. Ты натыкаешься на кровать, не успевая удержаться на месте, падаешь назад на матрас. Ухватившись за пиджак Ивара, тянешь его за собой, и он падает на тебя. Твои ноги раздвигаются, чтобы он смог устроиться между ними. Тебя захватила похоть.
Ивар поцелуями спускается по твоей шее к твоей прикрытой платьем груди. Он судорожно ищет молнию, но у него ничего не получается, из-за её отсутствия. Одеяло под вами смялось. Вы лежали поперёк кровати и никто из вас не планировал менять положение. Ваши глаза быстро привыкли к полутьме. Ты делаешь успехи в отличие от Ивара, снимаешь с него пиджак, начинаешь расстёгивать пуговицы рубашки, пока он всё ещё не может найти молнию.
— Как оно снимается?! — он шипит и злится, потому что всё ещё не может увидеть твою грудь и прикоснуться к твоей коже в других местах.
Ты невольно хихикаешь от его нелепой злости и приподнимаешься.
— Сзади завязки, — произносишь ты, занося свою руку назад, чтобы развязать бантик встроенного корсета в платье.
— Ты хочешь моей смерти, Т\И, я должен всё это расшнуровать? — он выглядит слегка недовольным и расстроенным одновременно. Но, конечно же, он на многое пойдёт, чтобы освободить тебя от одежды.
— Я могу остаться в платье, если хочешь, — произносишь ты, зная, что Ивар не согласиться на это.
Он так долго желал увидеть тебя обнажённой; желал прикоснуться к тебе везде, где только можно, и никакое платье с его завязками не помешает ему.
Поэтому он быстро и немного неожиданно для тебя прижимает тебя к своей груди, пока ты утыкаешься в его плечо своим носом, он справляется с лентой. Ты постепенно начинаешь чувствовать, как платье спадает. Закончив, Ивар отстраняется от тебя, снимая с твоих плеч платье, оголяет грудь.
Тебе не приходится долго ждать его поцелуев, но он одаривает ими не твои губы, а твоё декольте и грудь. На тебе не было бюстгальтера из-за платья, которое его не предусматривало. Тебе начинает казаться, что в комнате стало слишком жарко. Каждое прикосновение Ивара казалось ещё более обжигающим, заставляя тебя чувствовать себя так, будто вы находитесь не в его комнате зимней ночью, а под жарким летним солнцем, может где-то в поле, в щекочущей вашу кожу траве.
— Я давно хотел этого, — слетает с губ Ивара, когда он снимает твоё платье, спуская его по твоим ногам. — Ты представить не можешь, сколько раз я думал о тебе.
Ты невольно хихикаешь, представив какие фантазии могли быть у твоего парня. Может, если бы это не был ваш общий первый раз, ты разговорила бы его. Но сейчас ты была нетерпелива так же как Ивар и возбуждена, может чуть меньше, чем он.
— Ты... чёрт. Я тоже думала о тебе, — произносишь ты, собравшись с мыслями всего на пару секунд, чтобы сказать это и прикрыть глаза, когда он оставляет укус на твоей груди.
Твой тихий стон срывается с губ, но ты быстро прикусываешь их, чтобы не быть громкой. Ты точно не была из тех девушек, которые громко кричат во время секса, испытывают они при этом что-то приятное или нет.
— Мне давно хотелось прикоснуться к тебе, ты не можешь даже представить, какого это спать с тобой в одной кровати и не иметь возможности дотронуться до тебя, дать тебе хоть каплю удовольствия. — Ивар спускается ниже, оставляя поцелуи на твоих рёбрах и животе, доходя до кромки твоего нижнего белья. И тогда ты напрягаешься, понимая, что он собирается делать.
Твои пальцы зарыты в его волосы на затылке, но другая рука лежит на его плече.
— Ивар, — ты зовёшь его, надеясь, что он среагирует и не притронется к твоему интимному месту.
Однако он не слушает тебя, хватается пальцами за лёгкую, еле ощутимую и, признаться, дорогую ткань твоего нижнего белья. Он тянет их вниз, оголяя тебя полностью перед ним.
Ты волнуешься, теперь больше не чувствуя себя такой нуждающейся, когда лицо Ивара было прямо между твоих ног.
Вы с Иваром никогда не обсуждали вашу половую жизнь. За всю вашу дружбу вы могли всего лишь пару раз обмолвиться о чём-то связанном с сексом, но ничего серьёзного не было сказано. Поэтому Ивар понятие не имел, что ты сейчас взволнована. Но он всё ещё оставался тем человеком, которому несложно было уловить настроение того, с кем он общался.
Его поцелуи переходят на твои ноги, он делает всё ласково и нежно. Либо просто желая растянуть удовольствие, и может подразнить тебя, а может он и догадывается, что ему нельзя сейчас быть резким с тобой. Однако ты всё равно стараешься подобрать правильные слова, чтобы остановить его от того, что он собирается сделать. Постепенно Ивар дотрагивается до твоей сердцевины. Он проводит пальцами, проверяя насколько ты можешь быть мокрой. И только он хочет дотронуться до тебя языком, как ты впиваешься в его волосы пальцами и оттягиваешь от своего нуждающегося во внимании места.
Ивар сразу же смотрит на тебя с замешательством и волнением, потому что он всё ещё боялся быть тобой отвергнут.
— Я не очень хочу, чтобы ты делал это... — ты стараешься не упоминать название того, что он собирался сделать. Твоя смущённость сильнее слабости.
— Почему? — он звучит так, будто ты отказала ему в долгожданном десерте, и это заставляет сжаться твоё сердце.
— Я просто не уверена, что это хорошая идея... Эм... обычно, когда парни делали это, то мне это не так уж и нравилось. Я... просто видимо не фанатка этого?.. — ты чувствуешь себя, неловко произнося всё это.
Ивар приподнимается, чтобы поцеловать тебя. Ты отвечаешь на его поцелуй, думая, что твой парень решил переключиться. Хотя тебя смущает, что Ивар ничего не сказал.
— Если тебе не понравится, я остановлюсь. — Он отрывается от тебя, надеясь продолжить то, что начал. — Я просто хочу доставить тебе удовольствие, хорошо? И я не собираюсь тебя ни к чему принуждать, кроме получения удовольствия, — он старается подбодрить тебя.
Ты только вздыхаешь, думая о том, что если продолжишь попытки отговаривать Ивара, то вы закончите эту ночь иначе. И поэтому ты только киваешь, выдавливая «хорошо» и твой парень опускается ниже.
И тогда ты чувствуешь его тёплый язык между своих ног. Может, дело было в вашей связи и твоём доверии к Ивару, но тебе нравилось, что он делал, ты постепенно расслаблялась и получала обещанное наслаждение. Твои тихие мяуканья только больше подбадривали Ивара, заставляя его стараться лучше для тебя и чувствовать своё болезненное возбуждение. Он хотел поскорее оказаться в тебе, но он не мог оставить тебя без первого оргазма.
Как только ты достигаешь своего пика, то Ивар отстраняет от тебя, вытирая свои губы и снова нависая над тобой. Он целует тебя, и ты с удовольствием отвечаешь ему, хоть и лениво. Твоё тело слишком расслаблено, поэтому ты медленно гладишь Ивара по груди, всё ещё стараясь прийти в себя. Но когда твоя рука скользит к его джинсам, тогда ты вспоминаешь о важной вещи, которую вы не можете игнорировать.
— У тебя есть презервативы? — интересуешься ты, оторвавшись от его губ.
— Да. Подожди секунду, никуда не уходи, — он говорит это в шутку, заставляя тебя хихикнуть и отпустить его из своих объятий.
Ты приподнимаешься, теперь сидишь на кровати, сомкнув колени, смотря на Ивара, который скрылся за дверью ванной. Твои руки отведены назад, и ты опираешься на кровать.
Ивар возвращается к тебе, выключив свет в ванной и держа коробку с презервативами в руках. Он снова посвящает тебе всё своё внимание, наклоняясь и оставляя долгий поцелуй.
Ваша близости было долгожданной для него и необходимой для тебя. Может, если бы ты не доверяла ему, то вряд ли подпустила бы его так близко к себе.
Ты ложишься назад, утягивая Ивара за собой. Он легко поддаётся тебе.
Вам требуется около минуты, чтобы он был готов оказаться в тебе.
Он приспускает свои джинсы и тогда ты помогаешь ему с презервативом, доставляя небольшое удовольствие Ивару.
Ему сложно не стонать, когда твои руки так ласково и нежно касаются его возбуждённого члена.
— Чёрт, — ты шипишь, когда Ивар оказывается в тебе. Он растягивает тебя, заставляет нахмуриться и напрячься.
Ты стараешься расслабиться, потому что это тебе сейчас необходимо.
— Всё в порядке? — интересуется он, замечая, что тебе слегка некомфортно.
— Да, — ты киваешь, надеясь, что твой парень не обратит особое внимания на твою реакцию, потому что тебе просто нужно больше времени, чтобы привыкнуть к его размеру. Хотя ты и не хочешь это всё озвучивать, чувствуя себя странно от того, что опять будешь что-то объяснять ему во время секса. У тебя на секунду мелькает мысль о том, что Ивар может начать раздражаться.
Сначала ты говоришь о том, что он не может доставить тебе удовольствие языком, потом ты напомнишь ему о защите, а теперь будешь жаловаться на его большой член.
Наверняка, у него не было ещё такой девушки, и от этого ты чувствуешь себя обязанной притвориться, что всё в порядке.
— Ты можешь сказать мне, — произносит Ивар, наклонившись к твоему уху и оставив после своих слов поцелуй под его мочкой.
— Всё в порядке, — ты стараешься звучать более правдоподобно, оставляя поцелуй на губах Ивара и утягивая его в более страстный и долгий.
Ивар решает довериться твоим словам, поэтому продолжает.

Athelstan, helping Ragnar's sons cram for an exam: Sigurd: Sweet Jesus, it's morning already! What are we going to do? Athelstan: Well, maybe we could start with calming down. Sigurd: Calm down? We're still on William The Conqueror, priest! We haven't so much looked at the famine! Athelstan: You've got the gist. They ran out of food. Ivar: Well, I can't tell my rebellions from my risings. Athelstan, getting stressed: And whose fault's that? If you lot had stopped invading us for five fucking minutes there'd be a lot less to wade through, you Viking prick!

Masterlist
Chapter 14 - Final Chapter
He is in a meeting when his phone vibrates in his pocket. Well, it’s not really a meeting, more of an information gathering session in a warehouse involving sharp instruments and spilled blood. He’s been taking on more and more of these ‘meetings’ since she disappeared, a good way to expel some of his rage and sadness productively.
He walks away from the man he is dealing with, wipes his hands on a cloth and gets his phone out to an interesting message on his screen.
One of her passports was used to get into the country three hours ago.
A smile quirks onto his lips very briefly followed by a deep inhalation of breath.
“You, take over from here. Just kill him. I’ve got the information I need now.”
He hears a gunshot behind him as he heads out to his armoured SUV to take him back to the estate.
When he arrives back he doesn’t go to the main house but straight to their house. He knows Ragnar would have got the same message and he needs to check something out first before he sees his father. He hurries to their shared closet, still full of her clothes and he pulls out the black shoes with the red soles, her stash spot, pulling out an untraceable phone. He turns it on and waits. The phone beeps twice. Two messages. Both from anonymous numbers, both from her.
Coming home. Too dangerous now.
See me before they get to me? I will come alone. I miss you so much.
He texts back quickly.
Yes. Will message soon. I love you. Thank you for all the photos last week, baby.
As he stashes the phone back he lets his finger run over the notebook that took him less than three days to decipher. One of the reasons he searched so hard for her and established secret communication. He cried for days when he broke the code and read her words. An anthology of love, dating from the night they met, describing every feeling she ever had for him, her deep love, the light he had reignited inside her after years of living in the black. Much as he had before he met her. The reasons why she acted as she did after Sardinia, the threats made against his life, the coldness she showed him when underneath she felt nothing but adoration. She explained it all in a diary she never intended for anyone to read. Her soul lives in these pages, and so does his.
Always and forever, no matter how far apart.
———————
He heads to the main house and into his fathers study.
”I am sure you’ve seen the message. She has returned.” Ragnar says without looking up from his papers.
Ivar nods. “I’ll take care of it. She will contact me soon, I’m sure of it.”
Ragnar looks up and stares into his son's eyes, carbon copies of his own. “Will you be able to finish the job this time? She cannot live, Ivar. She simply must die. If you feel like you can’t do it, or she will get the drop on you again I’ll send a whole team to hunt her down.”
“I’ll do it father. She is my responsibility. I will not fuck it up again. I’ll let you know when she contacts me and what the plan is from there.”
Ragnar nods in agreement and rounds his desk to embrace his son. “I am sorry for this, sorry it has to be done. You understand though?”
“I do. It’s been a long time coming,” Ivar says tersely, “I’ll speak to you soon.”
———————
He leaves the estate in his own vehicle, he drives for an hour and no one is following him. He pulls into a multi-storey car park and switches cars and drives for an hour to another car park and does the same.
It’s dark by the time he reaches the hotel. A shitty, off the track hotel he’d never be seen dead in usually. He walks as quickly as he can to a door and knocks three times.
The door opens a fraction and he pushes it the rest of the way, slowly revealing his wife to him. She has her gun pointed at him.
“Alone?”
“Alone, baby.” He steps in and shuts the door behind him before they walk quickly towards each other, arms pulling the other into a tight embrace, clinging to the other, tears falling.
“I missed you so much, Liet.”
“Fuck I missed you so much too.”
They pull at each other’s clothing, frantic to get the other naked as quickly as possible. When their goal is managed they fall onto the crappy, lumpy hotel bed together on their sides, her leg over his waist before he pushes her onto her back and he crawls over her, their mouths attached the whole time. She grabs his hard cock and lines him up a half a second before he pushes deep into her.
Their mirrored groans into each other’s mouths make them giggle.
“Fuck, love, you feel so good,” he says into her mouth before moving her inside of her, drawing deep, low moans from her. “I missed you every second of every day.”
“Me too, Ivar. Harder, please, harder!”
Their fingers dig into each other's skin, pulling into the other, trying to close the millimetres left between their bodies, a desperate need to feel every part of the other, a desperate need to fill the two year gap since they last were with each other physically.
It takes no time for their knowledge of each other’s bodies to kick in and they make each other orgasm. Shuddering against each other, the air blue with obscenities.
When they finally loosen their grip on the other they stay as close as possible, noses touching, laying on their sides, hands running up each other’s backs.
“Hi, baby,” he laughs out.
“Hi, love,” she giggles in reply.
They just stare at each other, who knows for how long. Long enough for him to run his hand through her longer hair. To run his fingers over some new scarring on her body. Long enough for her to touch his thigh where she inflicted a break. Long enough to revel in his eyes and compare them to his.
“Anyone since us, Ivar? Are you happy?”
“No one. No one ever again. Always and forever, baby. You?”
“Never for me, Ivar. You and only you. I need you to be happy again though. After all this.”
Ivar waves his hand as if dismissing her words. There is no point in lying to her, pretending he will ever let anyone in again so he just changes the subject.
“I did what you asked, love, I killed Lev.”
Her eyes fill with tears and she lets out a giggle of relief. “Thank you, Ivar. How?”
“I peeled his skin off slowly and I made him watch videos of us when we were happy, after the accident. He begged for your forgiveness and his life in the end, love.”
A nasty sneer flashes across her face. “Good, he deserves every second of pain you inflicted on him.”
A comfortable silence settles between them again before Ivar breaks it. “Where is he, Liet?”
“He’s safe I promise. I will need to get back to him in the early morning. That’s why I’m back, it’s too dangerous now. I’ve had too many close calls and I’m frightened for him. He needs stability, Ivar. I’m done running. I’m here to face what I need to, and to give you your son. You need to keep him safe from now on. I can’t offer him that any longer.”
Ivar knew this is why she had come back. Knew his men had almost caught her in Belize. Had heard rumours of her father almost tracking her down in Peru. Ivar almost gave himself away numerous times trying to throw them off her and their sons scent, Ragnar was suspicious at one point and that was when the Belize incident happened. He had warned her but a little too late. He begged her to bring his son back to him but she wasn’t ready.
She is ready now.
Ivar clears his throat, trying to dislodge the ball in it. “I am going to talk to my father. Things are different now, with the baby. I… I’ll talk sense into him. We can be toget…” the rest of his sentence is cut off by her lips crashing his. When she pulls away she gives him a little smile.
“Ivar. We’ve talked about this. Your father will not allow me to live, for his reputation and his own peace of mind. I knew coming back here it would be the end for me, I’m under no illusion I will not die tomorrow. I thought you had come to terms with it, baby?” She runs her hand over his furrowed brow and her thumb wipes a tear away. “Even if Ragnar allowed it, which he absolutely will not, I wouldn’t allow it. If my father knew I was back, knew about our son, he would never stop coming for me, for him. He wouldn't stop until we were all cold in the ground, everyone, your mother, father and brothers. There would be no peace until he had our son in his care. I can not allow that. I’m here so our baby can have a life without being hunted for the mistakes I made.” She is aware her voice isn’t as soft as she would like it to be, but she also knows that Ivar responds to this cold, detached hard truth. “I have loved you enough for a whole lifetime, this is how it has to be, love. You know this.”
He doesn’t reply, he nods stiffly and a silence settles between them.
“Liet. He will always know about you, I’ll never let him forget how much you love him, how much we love each other. No one will poison his mind against you.”
His heart breaks entirely to pieces as she crumbles down in front of him. She knows this is her last night on this Earth. Her actual last night this time. She is giving herself up for the sake of their baby. Their 14 month old baby who has his fathers eyes nestled in the features of his mother.
The greatest sacrifice a mother can make.
“Ivar, try to raise him out of this life. I know that won’t be easy, but send him to college, make him useful away from the violence. Make sure my father doesn’t get to him. Make sure Ragnar doesn’t ruin him. I’m trusting you with our baby, Ivar. You need to do for him what my past had robbed from me, a chance at a happy future. Be soft with him, like you are with me. Be loving and supportive no matter who he turns out to be or the choices he makes. Show him my Ivar, not the Ivar everyone else sees. Promise me?”
“I promise. I will be the best father,” Ivar says resolutely.
She gives him a genuine smile. “I have absolutely no doubt that you will.”
“Tell me more about him, baby.”
They spend the next few hours talking about him, his likes, his dislikes, how he sleeps curled up next to her every night with his favourite Elephant cuddly. She explains how rough the next few months will be for Ivar, he is his daddy but FaceTime can’t replicate a real connection. She explains how to best comfort him, what songs to sing him and how to make him laugh, what she wants for him in the future. She tells Ivar she has written letters for when he is older so he can understand what happened, but that it will be up to Ivar to judge when and if he feels their son can handle the information. Ivar says nothing, he just soaks up every word.
“I think that’s it.” She glances at her watch.”I will send you a text at 11am to tell me to meet me at 4pm. Your father will intercept it, we both know he will send someone. Just…. Just cover his eyes before, promise me you won’t both watch me die.”
“I promise. I promise you. We have 8 hours until I need to be home to get the message.”
“8 hours.”
“Those hours are for us and us only.” He reaches for his phone, and taps until the room is filled with music.
Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac.
He stands up and holds his hand out to her. “Come dance with me one last time, baby.”
Her eyes mist over again as she goes to him, clinging to him tightly. She closes her eyes, compartmentalises the coming day and enjoys every second they have remaining.
————————-
9am rolls around and it’s time for him to go.
They cling to each other before she loosens her grip and grabs his face, pulling it closer to hers.
“In the next life, Ivar. I will find you in the next and every life we have after. Look after our baby.”
He holds her face, forehead touching hers. “This life and the next. I love you. I will keep him safe. I promise on everything I am, my beautiful Liet. The bravest person I’ve ever met, my fighter, my Valkyrie.”
They share a kiss, a kiss so full of love, pain, admiration and promise that they both smile and cry as they pull away and he leaves.
—————————
His phone beeps dead on 11am.
Meet me at warehouse 2c at 4pm. Just you. I have something for you.
He enters the main house to his father waiting in his study.
“You saw the message?” he asks his Father.
“I did. I wonder what she has for you?”
“A bullet in my brain I would imagine?”
Ragnar regards him, hard eyes travelling over his face. “Take your gun. You shoot her on sight. There is nothing she has that we need, nothing she can give you worth anything. Kill her and we can all move on.”
Ivar nods quickly. “That is my plan.” He turns to walk out of his fathers office.
Ragnar waits until the heavy slam of the front door hits his ears before picking up his phone. “4pm. The docks. Set up a sniper. Kill her if he hesitates.”
——————-
Ivar pulls up to the warehouse and sits for a second. He closes his eyes and breathes deeply, trying to stop the flow of tears that have been cascading down his face the whole 45 minute ride over. His heart is ripping to shreds inside his chest, despite having years to come to terms with it, a tiny sliver of bright hope lit his black soul thinking they could be a family one day. His rational brain knew it would never happen, she told him weekly it would never be the case, but the fact that the end is now is too much for him to bear.
But bear it he must. Not for her, or himself, but for their beautiful son.
He walks into the warehouse and his trained eyes see the minuscule glint from the sniper rifle up high in the corner. He will be sure to tell his father about the snipers fuck up.
His eyes find her, standing in the centre of the massive room, her back to him. His heart stops. She hasn’t brought the baby, he can’t see his son. When he is close enough he gets his gun out and points it at her.
“Liet?”
She turns slowly, their baby asleep in her arms, she doesn’t look at Ivar, she doesn’t take her eyes off their baby, soaking in every last second she has with him. He lowers his weapon as soon as he sees his son.
“The sniper is shit, love. I spotted him the second I walked in,” she chuckles lightly, “tell Ragnar I said he needs better men.
————
The sniper can’t hear what they are saying, and neither can Ragnar watching from his office from a camera feed attached to the rifle.
“Sir, she has a baby in her arms.”
“I can see that.”
“Shall I take the shot?”
“No. Do not dare. I’m pretty sure I am looking at my grandchild.” Ragnars eyes are full of tears. It’s been years since anything elicited such emotion from him. He understands now why Ivar has tried to keep her safe these past two years, not just out of love for her, but a fathers love for his child.
Ragnar wipes his eyes and rolls his shoulder. “Be ready. This is an exchange. When it’s done I will give the word.”
—————
Julietta gives Ivar a look of pure love. “Ready, baby? When I hand him to you I need you to turn away and walk out. Don’t watch me die, love. Okay?”
Ivar’s nods twice. They step towards each other, he drops his gun on the floor so he can embrace her one last time. With their foreheads touching, and tears on their faces she hands the baby to Ivar, bends down, sniffs the baby's head and kisses him before turning her attention back to his father, placing a slow kiss on his lips.
“In the next life, love,” she says
“Always and forever,” he replies.
She takes two steps back and Ivar swivels on his heels, clinging to his son, lurching away on his crutch.
———-
“Sir, shall I take the shot now?”
Ragnar is silent. His heart is breaking for his son but he knows what must be done. Even if he saw fit to let her live Ragnar knows her own father would never stop coming for her and if he were ever to catch up with her he would torture her to death. Ragnar rolls his shoulders and clenches his teeth.
———-
Ivar hears the pop and the whizz of the bullet from the sniper fly past him. He hears the grunt from her chest on impact and he hears as she falls to the floor with a thud.
The tears in his eyes blind him, he squeezes his eyes shut to clear them. He wants to scream up into the universe, make the whole world hear his pain. But he looks into the face of his sleeping son in his arms and knows he won’t, he won’t scare him. So he holds it in, to be let out at a later time when his son is not with him.
He will be the best father to their son
For her.
His beautiful Liet.
FIN.

Destruction XII
Tumblr media
Author's note: Hello, happy New Year to you all! Sorry for being too late to post the last part of these series. However, here it is I hope you will enjoy it!
Pairing: Modern!Ivar x Reader.
Genre: Modern!au, series, fluff, drama, angst.
Warnings: Strong language, mentions of pregnancy.
Destruction | Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V | Part VI | Part VII | Part VIII | Part IX | Part X | Part XI
A couple of months later.
You had forgotten the sound of your own giggle the past year. However, those two last months were enough to prove you wrong and remind you that you still contained the ability to feel happy and laugh — finally.
“You can’t be serious!” You exclaimed laughing at your friend Torvi. There had been a long time since you last met each other. Actually, the last time you saw her was before your wedding.
A wedding that never really happened because Ivar decided to take you away. He had confessed that he loved you that same day as well. You could recollect the memory as it was yesterday.
Flashback – Two months ago.
“It’s not what you believe, (Y/N). It wasn’t just revenge for me. You mean a lot to me. You know I am just not good at saying those things and you, also, know that I can be dickhead sometimes. Don’t cry for me. I - I care for you.”
Ivar had said and kissed you like his life was depending on this kiss – like both of your life were depending on this kiss.
“Don’t get married, you don’t deserve being treated like that. Dump that asshole.”
You needed to hear these words back then – you needed a motive to stop that madness. After all, you didn’t love Mason, but Ivar.
You didn’t treat Mason right, so leaving him before this mistake would be the only thing you would do to save him from being miserable next to you – because of you.
“I won’t, Ivar.”
“You are mine.”
“I am yours.”
End of flashback.
“Oh, I’m and that’s not even the end of it.” Torvi continued speaking and got you out of your thoughts about that particular day. “Your mother was about to kill Hvitserk when he announced that Ivar had stolen you – those were the exact words he used.” She laughed. "Besides you know the love your mother contains for Hvitserk." You both laughed at her remark.
It was well-known that your mother loathed the sons of Ragnar – especially Hvitserk. She would call him peccant or sinful. Generally, she would criticize his way of living. Not that Ivar was her favourite brother though, but Hvitserk worked as a red flag for her.
You could picture your mother's face after hearing Hvitserk announcing that the wedding was over because you run away with his brother. You were sure long before Torvi told you about the events of that evening that she was furious – that was the main reason you hadn't even tried to contact her since then.
"What about Mason?" You hesitated to say his name after the way you treated him, though he wasn't honest to you either – as he lied to you about the events of the past and blamed Ivar about his doing.
Anyways, you felt guilt of your own lies, because you acted the very same way you accused Ivar of when you walked away on him.
"Oh well, I heard that he is fine though he and the boys are distant after what happened. He blames them for helping Ivar. Anyways, Ubbe told me that Ivar mentioned that he is after Freydis again."
You could understand the way Mason felt, but you couldn't focus on this after some names were mentioned successively.
"Ivar?" You muttered before you could stop yourself.
"Yes, Freydis told him."
You felt jealous once again about the same thing – you were back to the beginning of this messed up story. You felt weird after everything that happened the last two months in contrast with what Torvi just told you. Maybe you were just overreact, but still you couldn't bear lose again.
Maybe your love wasn't the healthiest one , but it was strong enough to swallow you if he hurt you like he did previously.
"Don't tell me you are jealous." Torvi said smiling after receiving no response from you.
"I'm not jealous of her." You fought back and she chuckled. It was too obvious that you were lying.
"You didn't really tell me what happened with Ivar after you left." She mentioned and you smiled at the memory.
Flashback – Two months ago.
Your heart was full after a very long time it felt half without him. You felt happy again being close to the person who you loved the most. Probably this wasn't the best way to come back together – not even close to be honest – but what was worth it for you was the fact that you were sitting on the passenger's seat of his car and he was on the driver's seat taking you away somewhere that only he knew.
Nobody spoke a word though – an awkward silence was surrounding the car. You didn't know what to say – you didn't know whether you had to say something or not. You knew Ivar by heart and yet you couldn't predict what was inside his head. You knew when he was mad, happy or sad, but you couldn't say what was bothering him.
"Ivar." You breathed and turned your eyes at his figure. "Do-do you love me?" Your voice was barely coming out as a whisper. It was a silly question to ask – even after he crashed your wedding and told you that he cared for you – you wanted to hear him saying this particular word. You hadn't heard him saying it – at least not to you.
"What kind of question is that? Didn't I told that I care for you less than an hour ago?" You could say by hearing the tone of his raised voice that he was getting annoyed by your question. You were aware of the fact that he wasn't good with words – especially this kind of words, but you wanted to hear him saying just for once.
"Why is it so difficult for you to say it again? Tell me, do you love me, Ivar?" You raised your voice out of frustration. You couldn't understand the reason why it had to be that hard for him to tell you about his feelings.
The possibility that he didn't feel that way came in your mind. Maybe he was just possessive when it came to you or it could be obsession the feeling he contained for you. Those could be the actual reasons why he couldn't express his love fore and that would be because it was non-existent.
"Yes!" Ivar yelled with obvious anger at you and hit his hands on the wheel.
"Yes, what?" You pressured him more as you were angry and disappointed at the time because of his inability to express himself to you – the person he was supposed to love.
Ivar hit the brake pedal so forcefully that if you weren't wearing the seatbelt you would be out of the car when it stopped. You turned your face at him and he had already focused his furious blue eyes on you.
"No, Ivar, you don't." With those last words you stormed out of his car and started walking at the opposite way from the one he was driving on. Though, you didn't get to make it far away because his hand grabbed yours tightly and forced you to turn back and face his wrath.
"What do you think you are doing? And what the Hel are you saying?" He growled on your face as you were trying to break-free from his grip to no avail.
You breathed heavily and looked his angry face.
"All you feel about me is some kind of authority and possessiveness as I'm one of your belongings." You spoke and motioned on your hand he was holding firmly. "The worst part of it is that it isn't even new to me to get this treatment from you. You don't love me, because you don't know how to and that's due to the fact that you feel that you don't deserve the love the others are trying to give you. The only thing you know how to do is hurting these people with your childish behaviour." You continued telling him with tears falling from your eyes – tears that you wiped away with your free hand.
Ivar was looking you without speaking, he was just looking at you quite shocked. Behind his anger you could spot guilt and redeem. He knew himself that you were right and that was the most painful part for both of you.
"The next one who will come in your life and try to give you the love you deserve let her." After these words, more tears threatened to fall from your eyes. You grabbed your gown on the palms of both of your hands and took a couple of tiny steps believing that Ivar would let you walk away from him – from his life.
However, such a thing didn't happen because he used the hand of yours he was gripping and pulled back – this time he held you closer to him your bodies were touching. You tried to fight back again, but he was too strong for you in such way that when he pulled you the lacework of your dress was ripped.
This time he even stopped holding your hand and he went for your throat. His grip was as tight or strong as it was on your hand, but it was firm enough to pull your face closer to his.
"Too late for that." Ivar said in raspy voice. "There is someone who has already made my heart beat for her – who have made me feel all of the things you've said before. I didn't know how it felt to be truly loved by somebody because of the problem I faced. I thought everyone pitied me – the poor cripple – until you came. You saw me what love really means – what it is – and I sent you away. When our paths crossed again, I thought that all I felt for you was just lust or possessiveness for a woman who used to be my partner. However, I got hold of my feelings – of my true feelings – after our first kiss in the bowling alley, when I called you to come to that bar to tell you about my conflict with Mason and after we got drunk and went to my house and slept together, remember? In fact, all this was just an excuse because I wanted to see you."
When he finished, Ivar let go off you throat and one of his hands touched your arm as the other when on one of his pockets. His touch was really genuine on your hand.
"I remember." You mumbled and smiled as you remembered that particular night you spent together.
"You want me to tell you that I love you, but you know that I'm difficult with words. Though, for you, I'll say it, but before I have to do something else." Ivar stopped and afterwards his hand got out of his pocket holding a red-whine velvet box.
You looked first at the box shocked and then at Ivar.
"Ivar, you don't have to do that just to prove your words to me." You tried to say, but he stopped you by taking your hand in his, after he opened the small box. As you expected, it contained a ring, but it was not just a random ring he picked. It was the ring you had told him years ago that you wanted to be the one you would be proposed with. It was a unique design which you couldn't find easily, but he did for you.
"I love you." Ivar finally confessed and you could even spot a tear on his cheek. His forehead touched your own as he eyes found yours. "Will you marry me, (Y/N) (Y/L/N)?" He asked and you smiled widely.
At the sound of his words, you felt your heart hitting your chest with just force that it was going to rip out of your body.
"Yes! Yes, I will marry you, Ivar Lothbrok!" You exclaimed and kissed him passionately. This kiss wasn't like anything you had experienced. It was different from any other you had shared. One that both of you were expressing within it your deepest feelings about the other person.
When you stopped, Ivar pulled you closer to him again and placed the ring on your finger.
End of flashback.
After that moment that you would never forget about, you spent two months away from everyone you knew. It was just the two of you in the middle of nowhere. However, you had to return back in Kattegat to face the real life and what came after the decisions you made.
Ivar's family welcomed you back and they were glad to hear about your engagement – though they could see it coming. They knew better that you two about the feelings you shared.
So, there you were, talking with Torvi about the days that came after your almost-wedding with Mason.
Torvi looked at you with narrowed eyes and a huge smile on her face.
"And after this you are still jealous? You are crazy girl!" Torvi exclaimed and both of you laughed again. "No, I am being serious now." She said and you both burst into laughter again. "No, seriously now you are getting married with the love of your life!" You smiled and looked back at your feet.
"And that's not even the end of it."
"What do you mean?" Your friend asked confused and your smile became even more wider than it was already. "(Y/N)?" She asked you again anxiously this time.
As an answer, your hand moved on your stomach and you caressed it meaningful. In Torvi's face formed a smile identical to yours.
"Don't tell me that you...." She exclaimed and you tried to prevent her from let everyone know about your little secret.
"Shhhh, I am, but Ivar doesn't know yet. I am going to tell him tonight and then we are sharing it with the others. Keep it for me, okay?" You spoke on a soft tone of voice and Torvi agreed happily before she congratulated you about your pregnancy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night.
The night sky was very beautiful – enchanting you could even say. But that wasn't the best part of the night, that part would be the fact that you were sitting next to your fiancé, trying to find the best way of telling him that you were expecting his child as he was engrossed in with laptop with work matters. You were away for so long and matters had piled up.
"Ivar, when do you think that we should get married?" You asked him out of the blue as you stood up and walked through the balcony. Ivar glanced at you for a quick second and then turned his attention back on his laptop.
"I don't know, but we should not rush. In three to four months, what do you think?" He proposed without looking at you and you smiled, because this conversation was taking the way you wanted.
"That won't be convenient. I think that it should happen in one or two months." You continued.
"Why so?"
"I'll have gained weight. I won't feet in any dress."
Your words caught him off guard. He abandoned the computer on the coffee-table and fixed his eyes on you confused.
"What do you mean?" Ivar asked as the edges of his mouth lifted and left the sofa to come closer to you. He stopped on when his body was behind yours.
"What do you want me to mean?"
"Don't riddle me, (Y/N)." His voice was stern and you couldn't help your little smirk. "Are you pregnant?" He asked as his body collided with yours and his muscular hands hugged your torso and stayed on your stomach. Your back was touching on his chest, so you couldn't see his facial expressions. "Tell me." He demanded impatiently and you smiled.
You knew how much he wanted a child – a daughter or a son. You were also aware of the fact that he was delighted when Freydis had told him that she was pregnant in the past and thought it was his child when it wasn't.
"Yes, Ivar." You whispered and tilted your head at the side to catch a glimpse of his reaction to your news. What you saw was a tear slipping from his eye and you smiled again. "Are you happy?"
"No." Your blood froze in your veins and your smile died on your lips. You turned so you could face him. "No, I am not just happy. I'm thrilled!" He exclaimed and you felt your heart beating normally in your chest again.
His hands closed you inside them and one of them caressed your hair softly.
"I love you, wife."
You giggled when you heard him calling you wife.
"I love you, husband."

Obviously, this story became way more than just a one-shot. This story has seriously become something that promises to be around for a very long time. It's literally a part of me now, no matter how insane that sounds. Even though it's nearly coming to an end, where I'm writing now, I still have lots to say about them, this AU, back stories, side antidotes, their history, their future... I hope you enjoy all of it and that you'll stay around for all that's left to come!
And hang in there if you're waiting for the next chapter. I'm working on it, but it's kicking my butt!
