NorwayxReader - Your my everything [Part. 6]

-Time skip of 11 years-
“Ugh, I don’t get him! Why does he want me to get polish for his axe!? He could have gone to the store instead of making me do it!”
Emil complained to the puffin atop his head
“Hey hey that Danish is just too lazy to get off his drunken ass! He only picks on you cause your weaker than the others~” Mr. Puffin chuckles
“Ríða þér.”
“I would if I could~”
“You’re sick you know that?!”
“I get it from my master~”
“How did I get stuck with such a difficult puffin.” He grumbles to himself.
He stops walking on the sidewalk and stares at the ground.
He remember where he got the puffin from, he just didn’t want to remember.
“Hey you okay Ice?” Mr. Puffin lowers is head in front of Emil’s
“Yeah I’m fine…”
He continues walking.
He walks into a convenience store a few blocks away.
“Well if it isn’t Ice!” A man with a green sweatshirt on and a white mask covering his face greets him.
“Hey pops.” He just merely walks by him
This was his friend Sadiq, a Turkish man he likes to call pops.
“Hmm…you seem gloomy, did Matthias make you come here?”
“How’d you know?”
“Wouldn’t have made a better guess”
They both laugh
Emil walks to the back of the store and browses through the racks looking for a special polish.
“Hey here it is!” Emil looks up and sees Mr. Puffin on the top rack pushing the jar over the edge.
Luckily he caught before he was hit in the head
“Hálfviti! You could have hit me!”
Mr. Puffin just laughs
He walks back to the counter to see another customer that made his heart skip a beat
“Hey, so are you a newcomer here?” Sadiq rests his head on his hand looking flirtatious
“Well I guess so, I used to live here a while ago but I don’t remember much!” The girl giggles
“So what brings you back?” He tilts his head
She lowers her head looking sad
“Oh…just wanted to see if some old friends were in town…” She smiles slightly
“Okay then well enjoy your stay!” He quickly notices her sudden change in mood and attempts to make her feel better
“Thank you I will~!”
She grabs her items and leisurely walks out of the store
Emil just wanted to sprint after her but…
“Uhh…you gonna buy that Ice?” Sadiq raises his eyebrows at his friend who is staring at the door
He had to buy his brother’s crap first.
--
Heading out the store he attempts to look for the girl from the store earlier
The place was crowded with people, he wouldn’t be able to find her.
He started to look when his phone rang.
He takes it out of his pocket and reads the caller ID.
“Ugh it’s Matthias…”
He flips it open and puts it to his ear
“Ice! Where’s the polish!?!?!? My axe!!! He won’t make it unless you bring it!!”
He could hear the fake crying from the phone sounding dramatic
“I got your heimskur polish here! I’ll be there quit bothering me!”
He shuts the phone off stuffing it back into his coat pocket
I guess he didn’t have time to look
He starts walking back not wanting to upset the Danish man any further
“Hey Ice…” Mr. Puffin interrupts the quiet atmosphere
“Yeah what is it?”
“Var þessi stelpa í búð…sem ég held að það var?”
“…ég veit ekki”
He kept pondering at the fact. Was the girl at the store…who he really thought it was?
He arrived back at the house and opened the door only to be trampled to the wooden floor by his brother
“POLISH. MUST HAVE~” Matthias slithers through his tongue carrying his axe in his hand
“Jesus, here!” He shoves the polish in his face
He grabs it from his hand and runs off into the kitchen
“Are you alright brother?” He looks up to see his other brother Lukas reaching a hand out to him
He takes his hand and he helps him up off the ground.
“Yeah I’m fine…stop calling me brother.” He grumbles
“But why? Just call me onii-chan like you used to” Lukas hovers over him
“Not happening”
“Onii-chan”
“Not saying it!”
“Onii-chan”
“Nope. Not gonna say it!”
“Onee-san?”
“What the fuck Lukas!?!”
He runs back up the stairs to his room
He lies flat on his bed reminiscing the time his brother was different
Now he doesn’t even smile, let alone show any emotions, ever since…that day…he’s changed, he doesn’t even cry anymore, and always wears a cross barrette in his hair refusing to take it off.
He wished every night, that you would return.
While lying down he hears a car pull up in the driveway
“Must be Tino and Berwald…”
He sits up and opens the blinds to look out the window
Out steps Berwald from the driver’s side, while Tino steps out from the passenger along with Hanatamago his white Maltese
He notices something odd though, usually when Hanatamago jumps out of the car she heads straight for the door
She’s just standing there and sniffing the air not even following her loyal master.
“Hanatamago what’s wrong?” Tino notices as his dog is not beside him
Emil’s curiosity got the better of him and he went downstairs and pulled on his shoes walking out the front door.
The dog just stood there, sniffing the air.
“What’s wrong?” Emil walks in between Berwald and Tino
“Hanatamago isn’t coming when I call her, that’s very weird.”
They watch as she then turns her head the opposite direction and dashes through the streets
“Hanatamago!?!?!” They all shout in surprise
Never has she done this before! Something must be bothering her!
“I’ll go chase after her!” Emil dashes off toward the dog
“I wonder what’s wrong with her? She isn’t like this!” Tino looked worryingly at the spot his dog once stood at
Berwald pulls him close and pats him on the head
“Tino? Berwald? Have you seen brother? I saw him walk out here?” Lukas walks out onto the porch
“He went and chased after Hanatamago, she just ran away all of a sudden and Emil chased after her.”
Lukas sighed. Knowing his brother once he finds her, he wouldn’t know the way back.
“I’ll go follow him. Which way did he go?”
Berwald points to the direction they ran off too
He nods his head and nonchalantly walks to find his little brother
--
Emil puts his hands on his knees and pants hard from running
“Why the hell did Hanatamago run off in the woods!?” He cursed at the dog
“Something must be wrong, animals usually have that instinct ya know” Mr. Puffin hops onto his shoulder to assist him
He toddles through the trees until he comes across a cave…
“Did he go in here?” He walks toward it
It was dark.
“Like hell I’m going in there.” Emil backs away, he had a fear for dark places
“Don’t you still have that lighter Matthias snuck into your pocket?”
“Hmm…I never took it out so probably yeah.” He reaches into his front pocket and pulls out a lighter with the Danish flag on it
“Okay then here we go…” He switches it on and walks inside inspecting it
“Hey look there she is!” Mr. Puffin flaps his wings and flies toward the back of the cave.
Emil follows him and comes across the white Maltese lying next to a figure
He kneels down to inspect it and falls back.
It was the girl at the store! The one he was looking for!
She was sleeping.
Hanatamago had led him to her? Or so he thought
He shoo’s the dog away and leans close toward her and feels her skin
“So soft and warm.” He just couldn’t leave her there
But in order to carry you, he had to turn off his lighter…
Face the darkness
Vs.
Light and a safe way out
…
He shuts off the lighter and picks you up gently making sure not to wake you up
“You kept your promise…” He whispers before heading back to the house
--
He opens the front door carrying you in his arms while Hanatagamo was following close behind him
“Oh Emil! Did you find Hanata-” Tino peeps his head around the corner and sees Emil carrying you
“Erh…Umm…Emil…who’s…this?” Tino studies the person hard having the feeling he knows them
“…It’s onee-san.”
--
“Dammit brother…” Lukas puts his hands in his pockets attempting to warm them up
He went out to search for Emil but ended up getting lost himself
“I guess he’ll just have to find a way back on his own…” He sighs
“Troll will you bring me back to the house?” He looks toward his companion
The troll nods then swirls around him his whole body forming into a cloud
Lukas closes his eyes in the process waiting until the sensation of the cloudy air disappeared
He opens his eyes and becomes face to face with the front door.
“Thank you”
The troll grunts and disappears
Lukas opens the front door and enters
“Brother, are you here yet?” He calls out while shutting the door close and locking it
Emil walks down the stairs and stands in front of his brother with a look of excitement on him
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Onii-chan…I have something to show you.”
He called him big brother? This has gotta be good.
Emil leads him up the stairs to his bedroom.
“Why are you taking me to your room?”
“It’s a surprise. Now close your eyes.”
“Why? Are you going to do something to me~”
“You disgusting pervert! Just close your eyes!” Emil turns red
Lukas just obeys.
Emil opens the door and pulls his wrist over to his bed where your sleeping body lay
“Give me your hand.”
He gives him his hand and then he lays it onto yours.
His heart suddenly beats faster and he felt flushed.
“You…can open your eyes now.”
Lukas slowly opens his eyes and looks down at the source he was touching.
He immediately freezes in place at seeing your sleeping figure.
Never before has he thought even in his wildest dreams that you would return to see him again.
Emil, satisfied with his brother’s reaction leaves the room with a grin on his face and walks downstairs.
Lukas kneels down so his face is the same level as yours.
“Du holdt ditt løfte ... du kom tilbake.” He laid his head on top of your hand and watched your sleeping face that looked so peaceful.
Not long after he slowly drifted off into a peaceful sleep, something he hasn’t had in years.
--
You yawned and stretched your arms.
You had the weirdest dream! You dreamt that you were being carried in Emil’s arms with Mr. Puffin on his head!
“Must be because I’m back here…” You rubbed your eyes
Then you noticed.
When did you get in a bed?
More importantly, when did you even get here!?!
You looked around and you instantly became emotional.
It was Emil’s room. It had to be.
There were the exact same puffin things in the room back then and now.
“So it…wasn’t a dream?”
You cuddled into a fetal position and turned red from embarrassment.
He probably found you in the cave and carried you all the way back (I already explained this)
You shuffled your feet out of the covers and sat on the edge of the bed, reminiscing the past.
*Knock Knock*
There was a knock at the door and your heart instantly began to pound.
“…Y-Yes?” You said softly not wanting them to enter.
The doorknob turns and you couldn’t help yourself from becoming teary eyed at the sight in front of you.
It was Lukas.
He had short light blonde hair and dull blue eyes.
He wore a belted navy blue sailor top with a light blue collar, tie, and cuffs with matching pants and a sailor hat.
What really made your heart flutter was the cross barrette that was pinning back the left side of his hair.
He looked absolutely sexy.
“L-Lukas??” You couldn’t help but let out a small gasp at the site
You stand on your feet only to be tackled to the bed again by him.
“…I missed you.” Were the words he forced out of his mouth due to shock from seeing you again.
He was crying.
You didn’t care though, you were crying too.
No words were needed for this moment.
You both hold each other, arms wrapped around shoulders.
Emil walks in only to see you and his brother in tears, holding each other
For 11 years…
No emotion
Not even an ounce
Not a tear was shed
Now…all his tears that were held in..
Broke from his eyes this day.
