In The Army (Tord x Reader)

nine

I wake up to the sun shining on my face. As I shift, I notice that these bedsheets weren't mine. I open my eyes and notice the bright red bedsheets covering my body. It's early, but the light from outside lets me see the room. I sit up, taking in the decor of the room. The walls are painted grey, white furniture covered the floor, and posters scattered across the walls. A stack of clothes catch my eyes on the dresser and I get out of bed and grab them. A pair of sweatpants, a red hoodie, and undergarments. I find the bathroom and see that most of my bathroom needs are here. I do my business in the bathroom and get dressed. I walk out of the bathroom/bedroom combo into what looks to be a flat. A small kitchenette sits in the corner, and a living room set takes up the rest of the room. The TV seems to have been left on, and two coffee mugs sat on the coffee table.

"The Red Army has successfully taken over all of Ireland and the north of Scotland. . ." The news lady says. I leave it on for background noise as I begin to raid Red Leader's fridge. Nothing. Of course. I find a glass and fill it up with water and drink it. "Here is body cam footage of the Yellow army raid. Here you can see the Red Leader and what appears to be the Princess of the Yellow Army getting married.

"As the French Armed forces begin their attack, the couple run for shelter and then make a get away in the Red Leader classic Red Audi RS5 followed by armed red and yellow soldiers on motorcycles. While this is happening the Yellow Leader makes his escape in a helicopter."

I look in the cupboard and find a box of Super Cereal. I take it out and open it. Once again, nothing but the prize at the bottom. I sigh and close the cupboard. I turn to go sit on the sofa, and I see him. He's asleep, in full uniform, on the chair in the corner. I quietly sit on the sofa and change the channel on the TV. I soon realize that most everything is in Norwegian, and give up. I switch it back to the news station. A book sits on the coffee table, The Canterbury Tales in English. Weird book to have, but I read it anyways. Half way through the Reeve's story is when I notice Red waking up. Looking up at the clock it was exactly 8 am. I warmly say, "Good morning, Red Leader."

His eyes shoot open and he stands up, he seems flustered, "(Y-y/n). . ."

"You okay, Red?"

"Um, yeah." He stares at me for a second before going to his room. I start reading the book again, hearing the shower turn on. At the begining of the Cook's story, he comes out in black jeans, a red hoodie, and black converse. Just like the day I met him. "So, um... Do you want to go visit the village?"

I look up at him and smile, "Like a date?"

"Well, yes. I mean no. Maybe?"

"Yes, I would. One problem." I stand up and turn in a circle.

"Well, let's fix that." He holds out his robot hand for me to take. I take it and he intertwines our fingers. His touch is light and caring. He takes me to the elevator and let's go of my hand, scanning his palm and pressing a button. The elevator lurches down.

"An elevator?"

"Well there's the three house floors, and the underground base. I thought it necessary for travel between floors," He said. We go down two floors and he walks me to my bed room. "I'll wait out here, okay?"

"Yeah. . ." I go into my room and begin to undress. I put on skinny jeans, a black long sleeve shirt, a yellow hoodie and a pair of Vans.

Remembering how cold it was, I also grab black gloves and a hat. I fix my hair a bit, and put on a small amount of make up. I open the door to see Red talking to a soldier. He takes notice of me and bows.

"Oh, (Y/n), this is Pau, one of my second in commands." He steps to the side, allowing me to look at him. His hair was a little messy, he had thick eye brows, dressed in uniform, and he had a scar running through his right eye.

"Um, hi...?" I say, I slowly slide behind Red. The two continue to talk while I stare at the ground.

"Are you ready to go, Sunshine?" Red asks. I nod my head yes and he takes my hand again. He leads me to the main floor I'm assuming, and we walk through a doorway. He flips on a light, illuminating the garage. Five red cars sit in a row. The Audi, another Audi (a R8), a Tesla Roadster and Model X, and a an Aventador SV. "Okay, pick one."

"What?" I reply.

"Well, we need to drive a car. So we can keep it on the DL or have some fun."

"I guess the Model X. The first Audi one is currently all over the news.." I say.

"Well, it's my country. They know me by now." He smiles and leads me to the car. He opens my door and let's me get in. He closes it, then goes around and gets in. He places a key card on the center console and car starts up. I hear the garage door open, and the next thing I know, we drive off. The gate at the end of the driveway was guarded, but already open by the time we drive through. "So, uh.. do you want to get breakfast?"

"Yes, I would love that."
