Norway x Reader: The Demon

Halloween night usually means bountiful trick or treaters roaming the streets until well past dusk when their tired feet carry them home. This year, Old General Winter and Jack Frost decided to stop early making this one of the coldest Halloweens you have ever experienced. The trick or treaters were out and about for an hour before the chills chased them back inside, leaving you bored out of your mind.

You hear a buzzing coming from your bag at the front door and take your time walking to it. You thought it was your work calling you in for a last minute graveyard shift which you would politely but firmly decline if that was the case. You really need a break from work.

You pick up your phone and quickly answer it once you see a photo of you and your boyfriend, Lukas Bondevik, together with smiles and flour all over your faces.

“Lukas!” You practically cry out his name with delight. It was so long since you last saw him because of your busy schedule and he was in Norway to help out with some family members.

“Hey stranger.” He says with a slightly tired tone. “Are the kids quiet on your block?”

“Extremely. Their plan of attack is run down the block, get as much candy as possible, and run straight home to avoid the cold.” You smile a bit. “When I was a kid, we would wear snow suits under our costumes! Granted, it was a little uncomfortable, but we sucked it up and got candy until we dropped.”

You hear a small chuckle from the other end of the phone. You love making Lukas laugh. When you met him and tried to get his attention, he didn’t show much emotion and you did everything you could to make him smile. When he agreed to date you, you found out that you didn’t have to do much to make him smile at all. Just being yourself was enough for him and that made you happy.

“That’s the situation here and I have nothing to do. You want to come over and have a horror movie marathon?”

“That sounds fun.” You love horror movies and always try to find a good one that would scare the pants off you. When you were younger, you were terrified of monsters. Over the years, your fear faded away as you knew that nothing could actually harm you. As of late, it was difficult to find a good horror movie that had you on edge and wasn’t cheesy. “Want me to make a junk food run along the way?”

“Nei, Popcorn with butter sounds really good. Besides, the stores will probably be sold out. And don’t you dare walk, it’s a -30 windchill.”

“Yes, Lukas. I’ll see you in ten minutes.” You smile as you get your stuff ready to go. You made sure your turtle Mojo was fed and your doors were locked before you drove to Lukas’ house on the lakefront. Once you get to the steps, he opens the door before you have time to dig out a key.

“God kveld, _______________.” He says with a smile that is tugging slightly at his mouth as you come in the door. His pet cat Snowball meows at you expecting a treat of some kind. Lukas turns to his fluffy feline and scowls at him slightly. “Forget it, she’s mine. Go find Patch or the fish I put in your bowl.” Lukas’ reply was a stubborn meow as Snowball trotted off down the hall with a tail swish.

“Now that we’re alone again…” You and Lukas were separated for a good period of time and you could not think of any mushy reunion speech to give him. You were not very good at it or think it was necessary anyway. But a hug was.

You hug him and place your head on his shoulder. How you missed his warmth. He was shy when it came to affection aside from doting on you or his brother Emil. However, there was the occasional time when he was in a hugging or cuddling mood. This was one of those said times and he hugged you back, taking in your scent and your own warmth.
