(DISCONTINUED) Bad luck or a blessing?~ (Tord/Red leader x f!reader)

A real introduction? CH. 2

~last chapters ending~

i looked up at them as they got up and brushed themselves off, then offering me their hand to help me get up. i stared in shock. "... who are you?..."

~chapter 2: A real introduction?~

The person scoffed at my question with a not so happy face "you think that's the right thing to say? not even a thank you?" i blushed a bit in embarrassment, usually i always thank people first, so this was rather unlike me. "R-Right!... thank you so much for saving me.... i was just shocked, you know?.." i let out an awkward chuckle as i took their hand and get up from the ground, but then started analysing the person.

he was not normal.

he's a tall guy with dark blond, almost brown, and spiked up hair that were shaped like 2 devil horns. he has grey eyes... through... half of his face looked burnt badly, and he had a red-robotic arm. which.. honestly looks pretty neat.

 "Understandable. well, no problem. but we never speak of this again, nor mention it to anybody." The person said serious with their Scandinavian accent, though i couldnt quiet put my finger on it. before i could say anything else, they started walking away as if nothing ever happened, leaving me confused and shocked. They just saved my life, so the least i could do is repay them, but before i could call out to the tall man, he disappeared in the woods. i didnt even get to introduce myself, nor even got to know his name. but i knew one thing.

i have to see him again.

i dont know what interested me so much. his accent? his robotic arm? his fluffy looking hair? well whatever it is, i had to see him, but for now i think staying at home and resting a bit was the best way to process my near death experience.

So i make myself on my way home, thoughts filling me up.

why didnt he want to talk about it? why doesnt he want anyone to know? why am i not allowed to mention it ever again??....

so many questions yet to be answered. After some time i finally arrive back in my safe comfort hole, my home.

I went immediately to my room and laid down on my blankets, thinking about what to do now.

maybe I should try going outside and finally get a bed and the other necessities.

I thought to myself. That would be a good idea probably since sleeping on the floor is getting super uncomfortable. So as I would, I got up my bed and took my usual things with me, heading right out the door. I know what kind of bed I wanted to go for already and I found the perfect closet to it on the Internet!

~ time skip brought to you by me typing this while in school ~

It's has been a week now since the incidence, and it's still stuck in my head. I don't understand why I can't just move on from it. Well... at least I finally got my own bed and closet. Next I was going for a couch and some decoration. Right now I was putting all my clothes into my closet, still thinking since I honestly don't got anything better to do.

 Then it hit me. ... what if I go back to that forest?...
...

... would I see him again?.... what is so interesting about him?!... well he got a robotic arm, but the way he acted, the feeling he gave me is something I've never felt before. It was such a big interest i had in him. Well, I had to go back. I couldn't take it anymore, I needed to see if he was gonna be there. But before I do, I was gonna get something to eat so my stomach won't growl if I do ever see him again. I got up and took my usual things and went out. As I was walking around town, looking for a good food stand, I noticed a flier on the brick wall of a building. "Wanted?...."

I couldn't believe what I saw with my own eyes. It was the guy I saw before. The guy that had been on my mind what felt like forever. He was wanted... for a huge amount of money. That just made my nerves tickle more. I NEED to find out more about him.

After I got my food, I make my way back home and eat something before going to my closet and change the clothes i was wearing to something for casual and comfortable, my trusty (F/C) sweater. After getting ready, i took my keys with me and make myself on my way out towards the forest, hoping to see him again. It was the same day when we met one week ago, so i was hoping he would be there. After a short while, probably around 5 minutes, i arrive at the spot where we met, or where he saved my life. The tree had apparently been moved so it wouldnt block the path it seems.

I kept walking a bit, looking around and staying cautios this time as to not get crushed by any trees, but after a long while of walking, i didnt see him. I sighed in disappointment and turned back, starting to walk back towards the town until i felt a hang grab my shoulder from behind. "Looking for me?" I heard somebody say, and i immediately recognised the accent. I turn around quickly, slighty surprised, and look up at him "O-Oh hey there!... didnt see you. I was just taking a walk..."

 i felt awkward again. Usually i am very comfortable with talking to people, but maybe knowing he's the red leader spooked me a little more, making me feel a little intimidated. So called "red leader" looked at me in slight surprise.

"Well i didnt expect you to be here on the same day and same time." He said. That accent really could bring anybody to melt. "I know... pretty crerpy huh...?" I said, laughing a bit. The guy shrugged with his shoulders and started walking passed me "follow me". I looked at him walking passed me confused but quickly followed him, staying cautios knowing that he's red leader. I looked up at him while walking besides him.

"... what's you name." He asked me, well... sort of in a demanding way. Like he is forcing me to tell him my name. "(Y-Y/N)..." i said shyly, keeping my guard up, just in case. "What... about you?..." i asked him. He looked down at me, obvious that he had no interest in telling me anything about him until he finally spoke up "You can call me Tord". I smiled at him, hoping to get a reaction out of him, "Nice to meet you Tord". "Nice to meet you as well." He said, before turning his head back to the pathway. It got a little awkward since both of us don't really know anything about eachother, until i finally decided to speak up.

"So... Tord.... do you live nearby?" I asked, since, from what it seems, he comes here a lot. "You could say that."

you could say that?? What does that even mean?

"you could say so? What does that mean?" I questioned him, confused by what he means, but maybe i was just over thinking it. "You'll see someday.". Wait. Is he saying someday i'm gonna go his place? Or what does he mean?!.... "you're pretty confusing you know that?" I said giggling a little as i looked up at him. I could see a little grin form on his face. "Yeah, maybe. But maybe i am just mysterious, maybe i just have a different way with things. Nobody knows." I laugh at his little statement, he honestly does seem very mysterious, not very talk active. "Yeah" i look back at the pathway as well "you do are mysterious, Tord".
