The lake

(TW swearing)

"Astrid come on now. I want to eat at the lake!" Nora shouts as she runs down the hill, her whole face showing excitement, she hasn't been here for months now.

"You know I've been waiting to do this for like, forever"
Nora says as she sits down on the ground, closing her eyes.

Astrid walks up to her, bending down to sit beside her, as Astrid sits down she starts looking at the beauty of the lake, everything about the lake was so lovely, Astrid thought, but snapped out of it as Nora looked at her weirdly.

"Never running again"
Astrid said rapidly trying not to get awkward, Nora didn't say anything as Astrid looked over her shoulder to see Nora struggling to take out a radio, eventually getting it in place, Astrid looked at it curiously as Nora turned on some music.

The music was from somewhere in the 1970s, Astrid didn't seem to mind, the music then was really good.

"Oh cmon, running wasn't that bad was it?"
Nora said teasingly as she nudged Astrid's shoulder, Astrid nudged her back and this went on til both of them lay on the wet grass laughing uncontrollably.

"I can't breathe" Nora wheezes, continuing to laugh, a minute goes by and the laughter grows quieter, Astrid rolls over to look at Nora as both of them look into each other's eyes, Nora's lips turn into a grin and so does Astrid's, they both giggle.

"Fuck, our humor does suck doesn't it"
Astrid says, continuing to giggle now turning her head to the sky, looking at the clouds as she waits for Nora to answer, to hear her gentle voice.

"Yeah, totally"
Nora pauses for a second biting her lip.

"But that's okay, isn't it dear"
Nora says, her gentle voice ringing in Astrid's ears, Astrid blushes as she wishes Nora would call her dear all the time.

"You sound like my grandma, love it"
Astrid says trying to sound teasing, but she just sounds genuine, Nora smiles at her, this moment feels so angelic, Astrid thinks to herself.

"Hah, really Astrid, you like it when I call you dear?"
Nora bends forward taking a white rose from the ground as she signals for Astrid to come closer, Astrid puts her head closer to Nora's hand as she puts the white rose in Astrid's hair.

"Oh shut up before I'll get you a nickname and it won't be as nice as 'dear', maybe fuck face or-"
Before Astrid gets to finish her sentence Nora is laughing and before she realizes what's happening the both of them are laughing hysterically

"Oh, I'll fight you, you know that!" Astrid tries to say in a threatening voice, but fails miserably, now looking at Nora, she was laughing more but now starting to calm down.

"I'll start calling you fighter then, does that sound more pleasing to you, fighter?"
Astrid pinches the bridge of her nose as Nora continues to tease her.

"Ugh, you're so annoying 'fuck face', that's your new name from now on, fuck face"
Astrid says as Nora giggles, then presses her hands against the ground, steadying herself and getting up onto her feet, looking down at Astrid.

"Well then it's time for 'fuck face' to go, I'll be late to class and I guess you don't wanna get late either"
Reaching out a hand, Nora drags Astrid up and wraps an arm around her shoulder, as both of them walk towards the school.
Astrid takes a deep breath as she walks into the school, Nora by her side.
