Trigger warning: mentions of depression and self-harm
-
It has been 3 Months
3 months since she lost her expression
3 months since the bullying started
3 months since her parents passed away
And no body was there for her, not even her friends, the Nordics 5. For she had been hiding her pains in that passed 3 months. a knock on the door sounded. The Nordics were visiting her, and she nearly forgot. "Oh shit, I forgot." She said, wiping her tears and putting make up on her cheeks and below her eyes.
"Just a minute!" She called out, opening the front door.
"Moi, (f/n)!" Finland greeted, smiling widely. She returned the smile, another fake one. FInland thought bitterly. He had notice that she had been down and not herself. HE shook it away. "Ah, hello Guys, come on in!" She called out, grinning and stepping aside, to let them in. Denmark grinned and laughed happily "Tak (f/n)!" Sweden gave a grunt but smile a tiny smile, almost not visible.
Norway gave (f/n) a brotherly ruffle on her hair. Iceland smiled sheepishly at her before walking in. Oh how she loved her friends, they were always so kind to her. Closing the door and locking it again. The girl guide her friends to the living room. "As usual, make yourselves at home, I'll get your favorite drinks!" She said and walks off to the kitchen.
Finland's POV
Everytime we went to her house, she always wear long sleeved t-shirts, there's no way someone would get sick for 3 months. I sighed and frown, and Lukas seemed to notice this and spoke to me, "Something's bothering you Fin, I can read you" I rub my forehead and reply, "I'm getting worried about (f/n)'s condition"
"We all do Fin." Denmark said suddenly.
And we turn our heads towards the now serious Dane. Mathias is worried sick as well. Mr. Sweden suddenly give me a pat on the shoulder. "She'll be okay" he mumbled. Nodding I lean back to the sofa and saw that (f/n) is back with our favorite drinks. I smiled at her and she noticed this, returning the smile. Fake.
Norway's POV
In my opinion, Fin is worrying her too much, this would cause problem speaking that she doesn't like it when peple push her to the point where she will feel insecure and depressed, suicidal even. I've known her longer than FIn does obviously.
"Takk, (f/n)" I said to her, with a ghost smile, she nodded and smiled at me. I took my cup of coffee and take a sip, as always, she knows how to make my coffee. "You know me so well sometimes I wonder if my expression is enough to hide my emotions" I said, in a joking way but my voice is still monotone.
SHe let out a chuckle, this one is not fake. I thought to myself and gave a tiny smile to her. "Oh, Lukas, I've been making you coffee since like, 4 years everytime you came to my house and give instructions to me!" She drinks her (f/d) before continuing "now it's stuck in my head"
Reader's POV
Oh my! Lukas always knows how to make me laugh, even when I'm down. This ease my depression, even though it only ease it a little bit, I am begining to think that I will get better soon, or so I hope! I saw Tino gaving me a worried look, which make me confused.
"Tino, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked, tilting my head.
Tino seemed to snap out of his thought after I said that. "Oh, sorry, I spaced out a lot if I'm thinking about something, sometimes I even stare at people when I spaced out! Forgive me!" He said apologetically. Shaking my head I gave him a smile, sort of forced but oh well.
"It's alright Tino, do you want to talk about it?"
"Uhm.. actually yes"
Normal POV
"Uhm.. actually yes"
Norway quickly lift his head up. No, he shouldn't ask this. It's extremely risky. He thought. Iceland gave Norway a worried glance, which Norway understood what it means. "Tino, you can't just dump all your problems on (f/n)" he said monotonely, sipping his coffee while his eyes gave Tino a 'don't push her' look.
"Oh, it is alright Lukas, you worry too much"
No, it's FIn who's worrying about you too much Norway thought bitterly, sharpening his eyes on Tino. Tino shrugged at Lukas and turn his gaze back to the girl. "Why do you always wear long sleeved t-shirts (f/n)? You even wear them when the weather is hot!" Tino said worriedly. The rest of the nordics flinch at this.
"N-now that you mention it.." Denmark said
"Fin's right" Sweden continued.
"That's it. (F/n) come with me" Norway said and grab the girl's wrist, pulling her with him.
"L-lukas?" She said and tries to keep up with his pace.
"I really don't want Fin to push you like this. What's wrong" Norway asked as soon as they are alone, in the backyard. She began to fidget nervously and looked down, her fingers playing with the rim of her sweater like dress.
The Norwegian male cup the girl's cheek with his right hand and oift her head up gently " kjæreste... I'm already like a brother to you.. you can tell me anything" his eyes began to be soft and worried. She began hiccuping and sobbing gently. Tears prick at the corner of her eyes as she began to cry.
"I-it hurts Lukas! My parents passed away! Then th-the bullies *hic* t-they began b-bullying me *hic* about my deceased *hic* parents a-and-" her words that she spoke stumbled messily. Wiping her tears away, Norway kisses her forehead.
"Breathe kjæreste.." nodding, she took a few deep breathes before continuing. "I couldn't take it anymore I began cutting! I-I know it's wrong but it actually ease the ache!" Norway wraps his arms around the crying girl and hugged her.
"I'm very sorry to hear this (f/n).. but me, Tino, Berwald and That stupid Dane will take care of the bullies, for now you'll rest at home, until we are done taking care of the bullies" he said softly, carressing her hair gently.
One by one, the rest of the nordics came. Finland came first and wraps his arms around her "I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to push you!" He cried out. Sweden came and hugs her as well after Norway and Finland let go of her. "Stay strong, älskling" he whispered near her ear and let her go.
Denmark came and particulary hugs her tightly "(f/n)!! I'll teach those assholes a lesson so they will stay away from you!" Norway and Sweden had to pry Denmark off of the poor girl so she could breathe properly again.
Iceland came the last and began fidgeting nervously, typical tsundere boy. The girl giggled and pulled him into a hug, which he nervously return. "Stupid bullies hurting our precious girl." He muttured under his breathe and let her go.
---------------------------------------time skip----------------------------------
(F/n) had stayed at home for around three days. And in those three days, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark had take care of the bullies and when she comes back to school, the bullies apologized to her, which she said she'll need time to forgive them.
The bullies were lucky that (f/n) is a sweet and kind girl. If not they are done and will get expelled. After school, the young girl excitedly walk to her friends' home. The Nordics' home. And she was greeted by the Nordics cheerfully when she got there.
"Welcome Back, (f/n)!"
