Black Fire, Red Heart ~ Tord x Reader

Old Friends

Your POV

Tord had sent me into a bathing room to clean off the blood and cinder after the incident. Now that my wings were fully developed, Tord decided to keep it secret from those who hadn't seen so that gossip wouldn't spread. I sunk into the warm water in my beast form and relaxed with my head resting on the edge of the bath and the ridge of my back sticking out of the water.

"(Y/N)?" My tail twitched as I turn my head to glare at Tord, who was behind me, standing in the doorway, "Heh. What?" I groaned at him before flicking water at him with the fur on the end of my tail. He chuckled.

"Oh please, don't act like I haven't seen all of you already-" I interrupted him as I turned around fully to face him with a sharp bark, making him laugh, "Alright alright, ro deg ned. I'm going." With that said, he walked out, closing the door behind him and leaving me to the rest of my peaceful bathe.
((Ro deg ned = calm down))

When I was finished, I turned back into my human form and dried myself off to put on the uniform Tord had left for me before I got into the bath. It was similar to the original uniform, only with white bands on hanging from my shoulders and a strip of white at the end of the coat. Once I was dressed, I walked out of the room and into Tord's arms since he was waiting patiently outside.

"This looks really good on you~" Tord spoke softly as he explored my curves, earning a small hum from me as I ran my fingers through his hair. We stood there hugging for a while as he kissed my neck softly till Paul walked over to us, startling Tord, who pulled out his gun.

"Whoa whoa, ro deg ned, it's me!" Paul raised his hands defensively, showing he meant no harm as Tord lowered his gun with a heavy sigh.

"Don't sneak up on me, soldier-"

"Gosh, Tord. Why so serious?" I chuckled then smiled at Paul, "How are you and Pat doing?"

"Eh. Same as you two love birds," he chuckled in response as Tord huffed at my comment from before and rested his head in the crook of my neck while he hugged me from behind.

"Hey, (Y/N), wanna switch roles?" Tord spoke with a chuckle, earning a questioning look from me as I gazed at his from the corner of my eye. Before I could respond, he started nipping my neck softly as I squealed.

"Nuuu! Tord, s-stop!" I pleaded between laughs then he stopped, burying his face against my neck with a hum. Paul rolled his eyes with a smirk.

"You're both too much sometimes," he snickered before giving Tord a serious look and saluting, "Red Leader, you're needed at the main base for preparations on the attack." Tord stood tall and nodded with his hands on my shoulders.

"We should get ready, min dronning," he whispered in my ear as he rubbed my arm in a soothing manner. I nodded then we started walking back to our assigned room. That's when a thought struck my mind.

"Tord?"

"Hm?"

". . . Do you think it'll be enough?" I asked shyly, a bit fearful with how he would respond when we walked into our room.

"What do you mean?" he asked calmly as we started packing our belongings.

"I mean-. . ." I hesitated, "What if Grim tries something...something we haven't prepared fo-"

"We'll find out tomorrow morning at the meeting." I was surprised by his quickly response, it almost scared me.

"A-alrigh- Mm!" I was silenced by Tord giving me a long, reassuring kiss then he slipped away.

"It'll be okay, min kjære, relax. I plan on visiting our friends soon as well."

"Wait." Was he serious? We were going back to see Edd and the others? "You're serious?"

"Well, yes. I was thinking about a little break before the attac- !!" I interrupted him as I cheered and tackled him in a hug. I missed those three goofballs. This is probably one of the best ideas Tord has ever had.

"We can have fun like old times! We can go play paintball, get ice cream, some drink- wha- h-hey! T-Tord!" I laughed as he picked me up and spun around, laughing with me.

"Ahh, you're too cute. I love you so much, min dronning~" he spoke softly as he kissed my neck.

"I love you, too, min konge~"
((min konge = my king))
