Queendom 《Norway x Reader》 [SEQUEL TO THE TROLL HUNTER]

Chapter 2: Coincidental Paradise

"Who are you?"

Lukas' gaze never left yours. Everything seemed to move in slow motion⁠—the movement of your lips, the constant motion of the people behind him, the tresses of your hair falling over your shoulder, the venture of phoenixes outside. He wanted to say something, anything, but he couldn't. Shock overwhelmed his body as if the gods just took his soul to paradise. 

You were right in front of him, alive and breathing. You weren't captured by anyone as he feared. For nearly a decade, Lukas had been trying to get a hold of you—searching for you, hoping that you were safe. It didn't matter to him if you never saw him. What mattered to him was you living a normal life and enjoying whatever you can enjoy without the burdens of his troll hunting. If he were to show himself, thing would get complicated. You've stayed hidden enough from him and the magic world, and even ignored a lot of sightings to be safe—unintentionally. 

"You're back."  

As you were about to ask the man what he meant by that, he faced a familiar face behind him—and you were a hundred percent sure that you knew the man he just faced.

Oh. 

"Peeing while a plane lands looked harder that I thought." His companion laughed.

The taller man finally took notice of you. For a moment his expression shifted with worry, but quickly changed into the biggest smile that could rival Alfred's. You could've sword that his spiky hair just spiked up more.

"(Y/N)!" The mystical atmosphere between you and the man in front of your seeps away. "Long time no see!"

"Matthias?" You managed to let out.

"Huh, what's happening?" Nick knelt from her seat to join in the conversation.

A smile curved on your lips, yet you couldn't help but feel disappointed from the fact that the mysterious moment was broken. It made you feel giddy—not in the school girl way, but  in a way you couldn't really understand; a weird sense of familiarity washed over you like a tidal wave. It felt wrong to have that sort of sense, but a small voice in your mind was yelling in your head that this was something you should be feeling from him. It wasn't dictating you to feel this way, it was telling you that you have felt this way before. It just wasn't telling you who it was.

Nick nudged you and gave you the most smug expression you have ever seen coming from her. 

"So," Nick suppressed a snort, "aren't you gonna introduce us all?"

You shot her a warning look. You were so using the "I am literally five years older than you" card on her once you get off this plane. 

"I'm Matthias." The Dane beats you to it. "This here's Lukas, my brother."

Brother? You finally got why he looked so damn familiar Lukas is probably the brother Matthias is closest with. You've probably seen him in Matthias' family photos when you guys were dating in high school. 

You think.

Weird, I can't remember. You covered up your worry with a smile.

It was probably normal that you couldn't remember. Well, it has been seventeen years since you've dated him and three years since you've bumped into him. The last time you met up with him, he was having trouble at home for not being married at his age yet. The pressure must've been hard on him. You kept in touch with him a few times to help him find someone he could bring home to his parents. There was no luck though. You couldn't find anyone who could handle him in all aspects of him. 

"Nicole, but y'all can call me Nick." You looked at Nick with a tint of fear in your eyes. "This here is (Y/n), if y'all didn't know."

"Did you just—"
