Chapter 65
Departure

"AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

A scream erupted from Y/n's throat as she thrashed, her body falling off the small bed as a result. The person laying in bed neck to her was awoken by the girly shriek, sitting up their head was on a swivel in alert.

"How the fuck did you get into my bed!" Y/n yelled, grabbing one of the pillows and throwing it in the mans face.

"Y/n ish me--" The mans voice was slurred, but Y/n already wide eyes now felt like they were going to drop out of her sockets.

"Christ..." She muttered under her breath, Thorfinn's face was somehow a million times worse than last night when they had gone to bed. He was unrecognizable, to be honest opening her eyes to his face was a jump-scare. Getting back onto the bed she sat on her knees, raising a hand to cup Thorfinns cheek.

She was so gentle, it was evident through her movements she thought he would crumble in her hands if she were even the slightest bit rough. Her lips were turned down in a deep frown, tilting her head a bit to the side.

"That piece of shit is so lucky I wasn't there." Y/n spewed out with hatred, her threat wasn't empty and Thorfinn felt the weight of every single word.

"Donth say thafhh" Thorfinn protested, he pulled Y/n's hand away from his cheek to hold it in his rough hands. "I'm fine." It sounded like Thorfinn's cheeks were stuffed with bread, and Y/n didn't know wether she was supposed to laugh or be mad at him for letting himself get beat this badly.

"I'm mad at you too," She felt the need to remind him even though she already well told him off the night before.

"I'm sowwy."

"PFFFFTTTT--" Y/n slapped her hand over her mouth the suppress her laughter, "I think it's better you just don't talk tell your swelling goes down." Instead of responding with words Thorfinn simply nodded his head.

His entire face was blown up like a ballon, his eyes swelled shut, his nose was purple and his cheeks smooshed in his puckered lips.

She sighed crawling closer to Thorfinn who was sitting up against the wall, laying on her stomach she set her head on Thorfinn's lap, closing her eyes again.

After Canute's retreat from the farm the rush to leave the land dissipated, Leif and his crew along with Thorfinn, Einar and Y/n spent a night on the farm; settling to leave just after sunrise.

The night Thorfinn and Y/n spent together was nothing like the one before. Y/n couldn't refuse Thorfinn's cuddles, but she did turn however turn down his kisses. When he tried to explain his actions last night she shut her eyes pretending to be asleep, she already knew why he did it but she didn't want to hear it again it'd make her more upset.

Still, Y/n had a weak spot for Thorfinn and she couldn't stay mad at him for long no matter what he did. Recognizing this weakness of course scared her, but she trusted Thorfinn with her entire being, she knew he'd never do anything to intentionally hurt her.

She hummed in relaxation feeling Thorfinns fingers gently massage her scalp, lifting her finger she absentmindedly traced random shapes on his strong thighs.

This moment was so close to being perfect.

The only piece missing was the part where she opens her eyes and looks up to see the small smile that would be painting on Thorfinns handsome face.

So she didn't dare to open her eyes right now or else she'd get mad all over again.

"We haff to go," Thorfinn reminded her, Y/n letting out a small chuckle hearing his deep muffled voice.
