served up some water and medication for him as she was passing by. She was filling for a waitress that called in sick.
took the medicine without hesitation. He needed to keep working he felt.
shifted more of his customers over to the other hosts so he'll have a lighter load. Even zhe decided to host a few of them and put the commission for him.
((the letter z waht r u doin))
appreciated that. He kept up with the customers still, only coughing when they weren't paying attention. Once he finished he got up to get some tea with lemon and honey.
served it up to him instead along with some gingseng she found. " Here."
nods and took a sip instantly. "D-dank u..." He was slightly pale, but not sickly. He just looked a bit drowzy.
frowns slightly, "If you aren't feeling well, you can spend some time with Mathias. I can take care of things here."
nods a little. "I'll have a tea break with him then." He headed to go see him.
cleaned up the tables as Mathias ran to him the first chance he had.
smiled a little as he put his cup down before sitting. He wondered if she had told Mathias that he was his father..
hadn't yet since she didn't want to confuse the child but he seemed to be aware for being such a sharp kid.
hoped she would at some point, just to clear things up.
wanted to wait for things to settle down first
would allow for that. For now he just talked to the kid.
went back to serving customers and such. She did frown a bit as some were being a handful.
noticed that and finished his tea, rubbing the kids hair before heading back out.
blinks and seemed a bit relieved by the aid.
took on a few customers to give her some breathing room.
went to take a break in the meantime.
kept busy so she could rest. His voice didn't fade out, which was good.
slipped some cough drops to him just in case.
took them subtly so the customers didn't see.
brought Mathias to him when there were no customers during a down time to help him relax a bit.
rubbed the child's back, glad that he didn't seem to be getting sick from him.
would say Mathias had an abnormally strong immune system.
glad for that. He didn't get sick normally, but when he did it lasted for a while. It didn't get too bad often thankfully.
seemed relieved to know that. Mathias wanted to show him that he finished all his cranes.
thought that was great. He wondered what he'd wish for?
wouldn't know as the child said he would wait till Christmas to tell them.
guessed that was a good idea then.
shifted as she focused on resting.
spent time with the kid for her sake.
|Mathias looked at him, " So are you finally going to be my daddy now?" He asked out of the blue.
shrugs. "I'll keep a roof over your head and fed at the very least."
|The child shook his head, " You're avoiding my question."
shakes his head. "I'm a caretaker."
|Mathias frowned at that, " Okay..."
just stroked his hair a bit after.
pulled Mathias on her lap after, " Don't lead him on." She stately calmly as the child hugged her.
just sighed as he went to get more tea.
let Mathias curl up on her lap in the meantime.
brought her some tea as well as he joined them again on the couch.
glanced over to him, " I was planning on doing some Christmas shopping after work. Would you want to come along?"
smiles as she nudged the child off her lap, " Alright then. I'm heading back to work now." She noticed orders were filing into the kitchen.
nods. "I'll be out in a moment..."
smiles a bit more before getting back to work and letting Mathias be supervised by the other.
spent a bit more time with him before going to take on a few customers to distract them from ordering food.
didn't seem to notice as she just served up every order that came in.
kept talking and making people happy, just so she could take it easy.
blinks and noticed the lack of orders before going around and serving drinks.
glad it started to calm down after a while.
smiles as it was drawing close to closing time. She serve him some tea and cleaned up the rest of the table. " It's not usual for you to talk so much."
shrugs. "I didn't want you to be overloaded with orders."
placed her hand on his shoulder, " I'll be fine. People just visit a lot for the food sometimes."
nods and finished his tea quickly. "I see..."
went to help out with the closing as Mathias knew he was allowed to run around a bit now.
did a little cleaning up of tables and washing dishes.
thanked him as she finished up with the closing as people were heading home.
finished up, thankful everything was uneventful.
went to get Mathias all bundled up before getting her coat after clocking out.
did the same and pulled his coat on as they headed out. "Take my care I guess?"
blinks and nods, " I don't have a car, remember?" She held onto Mathias's hand as she fixed her purse.
nods. "Ja, but I wonder how the parking will be near the stores. I just wonder if it's better to carry what we get back here.
shook her head, " It's not Boxing Day yet and the mall is generally emptier around a weekday. "
nods and got his keys out, heading for the car.
pulled Mathias along who stayed close with her.
unlocked the car and got in, making sure there wasn't anything in the way for them. "So mall first?"
nods, " Mhmm. I need to pick up a few gifts if it isn't much of a request."
shakes his head as he headed o the mall."
glanced over to Mathias every now and then to check on him.
parked at the mall and got out, locking the car after. "I can keep an eye on Mathias while you go into stores if you want."
shook her head as the lead the way, " It's more of a family thing. Mathias helps me pick them out actually." The child nods in response as he held her hand.
nods as he followed with his hands in his pockets. "Ah. Makes sense."
loosened her scarf as she went to the more expensive looking stores to look through. She would ask for the child's opinion on it before heading to another store.
looked around as he followed the two.
eventually did purchase a few things eventually. Most of them came from stores most people wouldn't visit or even know that there was a really good item that was the same as the most expensive ones.
thought she was a pretty good shopper at least.
had gotten a cross pendent for Trudie, a bracelet for Ksenia, and some other things for the other workers.
thought she was a pretty good friend.
went to the Lego store to get something for the other Dane as well. Mathias would often make her stop in front of the most expensive jewellery stores or places that sold accessories and ask what she liked.
thought that was rather adorabe.
often said replied that she wasn't interested but the little child knew she didn't own a lot of precious or expensive things and often had a certain lingering look when she saw something she wanted.
((derp now I'm adding in words))
kept his eyes on her as she looked, ready to get something for her as a gift.
didn't seem to show that look once through out the trip. She glanced down to Mathias who seemed curious what all the commotion was when children were taking pictures with Santa.
wondered if Mathias wanted to do that?
raised a brow as Mathias asked if they could take a family picture with the Dutchman in it too along with Santa.
sighed. He guessed if he stood beside Santa or something."
guessed it wasn't too bad and went to line up with Mathias who held on the other male's hand, tugging him along.
took his hand and held it tighter.
spoke to one of the people working there and got the thumbs up for all of them being in the picture. Mathias pulled them both towards Santa when it was their turn.
kept with the child, more so to make him happy. He normally hated pictures, but would do this for him.
smiled faintly as Mathias hopped onto Santa's lap. The child quietly whispered to Santa like a game of broken telephone when asked what he wanted for Christmas. She sat on the edge of_
_ the large chair while the photographer prepared to take the picture.
stood on the other side, resting his arm on the back of the chair.
smiled genuinely for the picture as the photographer shook the bells to get the child's attention. It was over quickly but Mathias thanked Santa before he was rewarded a candy cane before holding onto_
_ their hands and tugging them to see how the picture turned out.
kept up with him, liking how enthusiastic he was
chuckled at Mathias's expression when he saw the photo. He even asked the photographer if his mor was glowing in the picture. She just paid for three copies so each of them had one.
would make sure to keep his in a save place... He missed photos of her.
gave the Dutchman his card that contained the picture. She put away the copies for her and Mathias before going to look for a nice frame for the pictures.
kept close to them, enjoying being apart of a family once more,
smiles faintly as Mathias went on and on about how pretty she looked, like an angel or something.
had always thought that about her.
blinked when she was passing by an expensive clothing store. She thought she saw her ex-husband but focused on getting a photo frame for Mathias's picture instead.
hadn't noticed as he just kept holding the childs hand.
held onto her shopping bags as she eventually found nice place that sold photo frames. She glanced over to Mathias to see which one he liked.
glanced around at some other things as they picked out the details.
watched as Mathias picked one that had flowers on it rather than the ones that were Christmas themed. He said that it had a spot for engraving too so she went to get that one for him.
liked how it was so nice. He thought the kid had good taste.
gave some money for the child to pay for it and what he wanted to have engraved on it. She left the bags to the other male as she had to use the restroom.
kept a good hold of them as he just waited.
on her way back when she was confronted by her ex-husband. She really did see him...though what made her worry was that he threatened to harm Mathias and the Dutchman if she didn't go with him.
could handle him. He noticed her and frowned, pulling Mathias closer.
didn't want to put other people or Mathias in danger as they were in a public settling. She just mouthed to him that she would return home later before following her ex-husband while being surrounded by guards.
highly doubted that'd happen. He kept a hand on Mathias and started walking out with him, wanting to try and at least get a general idea as to where she was being taken.
taken to a rather high end restaurant to a VIP specifically. She was offered a proper change of clothes but she wasn't planning on staying long.
doubted she'd be let free..
knew she wouldn't be. Instead she didn't mind giving up her freedom to keep other people safe.
wanted her to be free with them. He just made note of where they were before getting Mathias home.
just put up with the man's constant questions and sometimes verbal abuse. He really hated her thinking that she betrayed him.
called the other Dane to come babysit Mathias while he went out again to the restaurant.
didn't eat or drink a single morsel of the food that was served despite the constant pushing of the male. He kept trying to make her feel bad but she was unmoved by it.
got to the restaurant and snuck his way in, looking around for her.
didn't like how this man could get around the law so easily but eventually she took a sip of water.
eventually spotted her and started walking up to the table.
hadn't noticed until the male pointed it out and asked if the Dutchman was her whore. She simply threw the water at the man's face before getting up to leave but she was blocked by the bodyguards.
didn't hold back as he shoved them away so he could get her hand.
seemed rather relieved to see him but stopped when there was a blade pressed to her neck by her ex-husband. He really had turned insane.
glared at him. "Let go of my fiancee."
reddened at being called that though she winced from the knife pressing into her neck. The man laughed, unable to take that seriously.
slowly let go of her hand as he sized the other up.
tensed when the knife was pressed against her cheek as the male threatened to ruin her face. He blamed her looks for being the cause of all of his problems including his fame and sanity.
slid his hand under the knife, pulling it away before kicking the male away and pulling her against his chest, turning so she wasn't in the way.
felt that things happened way too quickly even before she managed to breathe. The bodyguards posed a challenge as the male scrambled to his feet, wanting them dead.
ran, pushing her ahead of him so she couldn't get hurt. He also passed her the keys.
stared at him, " I'm not leaving you behind!"
nods. "I'm coming, it's just... just in case." He tried to be her shield.
grabbed his wrist as she went for the back entrance where the police were. The front was actually being swarmed by paparazzi. She had actually planned for this.
thankful for that. He made his way to be right beside her.
tried to catch her breath as a police officer went to see if they were okay. The officer called for an ambulance since her neck had a cut and so did his hand.
hadn't noticed from all the adrenaline. He just clutched his hand tightly.
tugged off her silk scarf, wrapped it around his hand and added pressure to stop the bleeding. The scarf was one of the most expensive things she owned but it was already ruined due to her_
_ own injury and used it to help him instead since it would take a while for the ambulance to arrive.
put his other hand around her neck wound, holding it there tightly.
winced at that but kept still since it made it hard for her to breathe. Eventually the ambulance came around to treat their injuries.
made her go first, since it was more critical.
waited for the paramedics to finish their treatment before the police officer came around to tell them that the man had been arrested.
thankful for that. Now they could live without fear...
stated that she was pressing a lot of charges as well and had proper evidence to support it. This was her way of fighting back.
supported her every moment. He wanted him gone.
watched him get treated as she saw her ex-husband, cuffed and shoved into a police cruiser along with his bodyguards. The paparazzi was practically all over it.
glad. They didn't even have to worry about the bodyguards even.
head her head quietly as she felt her vision started to blur slightly. She had been so caught up she had forgotten about herself again.
finished up with the paramedics and slowly walked her to his care.
just made sure the police could contact them in case of anything. She thanked him quietly before taking her medication once she was in the car. " Is Mathias okay?"
nods. "Ja, the other Dane is with him. I made sure he arrived before I left."
smiled at that as she leaned in her seat, glad her child was safe. She sighed after as she looked at him, " Thank you for saving me as well...I didn't know how long I was last with that creep."
sighs and headed home. "I just wanted you home and safe..."
nods faintly as she tried to rest in the meantime.
got back to the house and helped her back inside, making sure Mathias didn't tackle her. Or the other Dane.
...doubted that when she saw Mathias running at her.
braced his leg in front so he ran into that first, and then clung to her.
chuckles as the child bumped into that first, got up and hugged her, glad that she was safe. She wondered if the child had put the picture in his frame yet.
wouldn't have known, he left soon after to find her.
wondered where the Dane was...she expected him to be charging into the room anytime soon...
tripped and fell face first in front of them, tripping over some legos they had been playing with.
...sighed and when to help him up. " You're not usually this clumsy."
chuckles as he got back up. "I've not seen ye in a while. And I was runnin' after this monster." He crouched and tickled Mathias a bit
nods as the child hid behind her. " It's more like you get too lazy to show up at work when I'm there."
smirks. "That too. I was enjoyin' the snow too much and went skiin'."
quirks a brow, " Trudie is going to kill you for taking a random vacation."
shrugs. "The weathers been bad, I'm sure she'd not mind."
sighs and nods as she took her coat and shoes off, " Did you eat at the very least?"
nods. "I made some soup for the monster and I."
looks down as Mathias nodded. " Are you going to stay over then?"
shrugs. "If ye want me to. I can drive home fine."
blinks at that, " That's up to you." She went to go make some food for herself and the Dutchman after, letting Mathias play with the Dane some more.
picked up the lego and went back to play with him in the living room.
went to see what was left in the kitchen before cooking something simple. She thought curry would be nice for the weather.
went with her, wondering if she needed help because of her injury.
just couldn't turn her head very well. She did try to avoid tasks that put unnecessary strain on her injury.
kept an eye on her just in case.
cooked efficiently and quietly. She was tired but she figured it was worth it.
wouldn't mind as long as she rested afterwards.
would do that after. She just served up the meal after for him.
started eating quietly, still keeping his eyes on her.
made some tea to go with the food before sitting down to eat. Mathias came along and she gave him a few bites of her own food prior to him running off to terrorize the Dane.
thought that was cute. He hoped the Dane didn't terrorise the kid back too much.
doubted so from the lack of the child's screams compared to the amount of manly screams that could be heard.
smirked as he ate. At least the Dane seemed to be a good babysitter.
finished her food and tea in the meantime. She glanced over to him after," Were you serious on what you said earlier? I mean the fiancee part."
nods a little. "Of course. I'm still waiting for your hand to heal so I can put the ring on it."
looked at her hand before pulling out a neatly wrapped box from her pocket. " It's been healed up for a while now."
blinked a little at the box she had.
smiles, " I did say that I was going to find a proper ring in return."
smiled a little and took the ring from his pocket, getting up and went over to take her hand.
stayed still...before Mathias ran in and stared.
just put the ring on her finger.
Chuckles as the child broke out in a wide smile and jumped the Dutchman.
made a sound and stroked his hair a bit, blushing.
smiles as Mathias giggled. " I doubt caretaker would be something he wants to call you now."
nods a bit. "Well, he can call me whatever he wants now." As long as it wasn't offensive.
Nods at that as Mathias asked them when they were going to get married.
didn't know yet... he just looked to Dorthe.
Wondered if Mathias wanted to choose for her instead.
blinks when the childwanted i
It to happen on New Years.*
guessed she would have to deal with the preparations. She did gain a lot of money just recently...
sued her exhusband and he broke the restraining ordered she placed on him annnd he kidnapped Mathias. Also, he stole her money by scamming her.
... guessed they could have a nice wedding and life then.
would put some of it at in Mathias's education savings and getting her parents proper medical care. The rest was free for them to spend.
didn't need anything, so he'd just leave it for her.
...didn't know what to spend that money on in all honesty. She just paid the Dane back instead.
had no idea what to do either..
's thoughts were cut short when the child asked if they we're going to kiss now. She stared before laughing and gave kisses to the child instead after pulling Mathias onto her lap.
just watched as he went to eat a little more before cleaning up.
smiles as Mathias was quite lively and snuggled her back. He picked up the ringbox and dragged the Dutchman back. " Mommy hasn't put yours on yet, Daddy!" The child smiled brightly.
nods a little and held out his hand, not use to being called daddy.
sighs as she smiled and went over to put the ring on him. There was a certain rabbit engraved on the inside of the ring.
liked how she put so much care into these things.
just wanted to make it special for him.
thought anything from her is special.
kissed the ring gently before watching Mathias go terrorize Soren more. She smiled and went to clean up after.
finished cleaning not long after, sighing quietly. He thought sleeping now wouldn't be a bad idea, after everything that had happened.
tired but the child was far from it. She went to just wash up and prepare for bed.
did the same, figuring the Dane could take care of Mathias.
just reminded the Dane the proper bedtime for the child and that he was free to stay overnight. She went to go sleep after.
followed close behind her, rubbing the ring on his finger. It felt so weird.
glanced over as she stopped nearby the bedroom. " Is something wrong?"
shakes his head. "Nee. Why?"
smiles before getting settled in bed. " I was just wondering."
nods a little before he got in with her and laid down.
yawning quietly as she looked to him. " It kind of brings back old memories like the time I sleptover."
nods a little as he shifted closer to her.
scratched her cheek, " Though that did get kind of off topic with the booze and the pot."
nods a little. "That... was... ja..."
laughs, " I couldn't believe I actually managed to give you a manicure too. It was like one of those girly slumber parties."
huffs. "It felt good after and looked good so."
held his hand gently, " Ja, your hands are always so rough from what you do." She remembered all the calluses and wrinkles it had.
couldn't help that his art was so rough on him.
gently kissed his fingertips with a small smile. " I like them that way."
nods a bit as he shivered and shifted closer to her.
quirks a brow at that, " Are you cold?"
shakes his head. "I just... want to be close to you."
tilted her head slightly. " We're already sharing a bed Nikolaas." She pointed out cluelessly.
nods and sighed. "Do you not want me so close?"
shook her head after, " Nej, why?"
shrugs. "Just making sure."
seemed rather confused at that and shifted the topic to something else. " So how do you plan to tell Mathias about you being his real father?"
shrugs. "I was... hoping you would..."
blinks, " I think he actually might want to hear it from you."
nods a bit. "What if I got him a Christmas card that said "To my favourite son"?"
raises a brow, " You didn't pull things that lame back in school..."
sighed. "I don't know how to approach kids. Do I just go and say "Hey Mathias, I'm your dad who abandoned you because of an accident"?"
shook her head at that in disbelief, " Oh gods nej! You want to scar him for life?!" She sighed as well. " I didn't even know I had him back then."
sighed and rubbed his scar a bit. "I'm not good at these things..."
flails at that before calming down, " You'll be fine. Trust me. I believe in you."
sighs. "He probably already knows. He has a sixth sense for these things."
shook her head, " I think he wants to hear it from you though."
sighs as she messed his hair, " Be yourself."
frowned more. "What if I just went "Morning son"?"
shook her head, " Nej! You gotta make it epic!"
grins, " Remember that time you cross dressed as my mor so I could sneak out of some boring meeting?"
made a sound and nodded faintly.
nods, " I'm just bringing that up to screw with you since you actually look good in dress and make up." She stated in a deadpan manner.
huffs. "This is a serious matter."
shrugs, " Am I not allow to have a relaxing conversation with my fiance though?"
sighed and nod. "Sorry... I'm just nervous..."
went to play with his hair childishly after, " Nej, it's fine. What are you nervous about?"
shrugs. "Just how to tell Mathias..."
raised a brow, " It's not like he'll say no and make you step on Legos when he's upset." That was when the child was really mad and he learned it from the other Dane...
nods a little. "I just don't know how to say it... that's all."
sighs, " Just tell him you're actually his birth far. If he wants evidence, you can show him the file."
rolls her eyes and got out of bed. She picked out two miffy dolls, one bigger and the other smaller. Crouching down on the edge of the bed, she acted out the scene for him after clearing out her voice._
_ " Mathias, I have something important to tell you." She even faked a Dutch accent before shifting the other doll to look up to him. " What is it daddy?" She used a softer tone and more adorable Danish accent.
... face palmed, but blushed as he saw.
grins as she continued. " Well, Mathias. I am your father. Your biological father." She tried hard not to giggle as she continued. " Huh? What does biological mean?" She made the little movements on the dolls_
_ too. " Biological means that I helped your mother in giving birth to you." The made a cute gasp for the smaller miffy doll after. " So does that mean you're my real papa?"
shakes his head. "Y-you can stop now."
motioned for him to stay quiet as she was having too much fun. " Ja. Now come to me my child and let us share this wonderful moment~" She was going off on a tangent with the dolls hugging and such. " And with_
_ the two finally reuinited as a family it became a happily ever after~ The end." She concluded and made the dolls bow for the performance.
slowly clapped for her effort.
sat on the edge of the bed with the dolls on her lap. " Any questions or concerns?"
shakes his head. "When should I tell him? Tomorrow?"
played with the dolls as she shrugs. " Whenever you feel like it."
sighs. "Should I wait till Christmas or just tell him tomorrow?"
shrugs again as she treated her breasts like a mountain and had the dolls climb that before resting them there. " Depends on what kind of surprise you want to give him."
sighed. "I'll wait till around Christmas then..."
hums and had the smaller doll trapped between her breasts and made it an epic mission for the bigger one to pull the smaller one out. " Whatever floats your boat."
laughs as the smaller miffy plush was saved after. " Is there anything else you would like to ask?"
shakes his head. "Just sleep..."
pouts as she put away the dolls and tucked him in, " Do you need a bed time story or anything?"
shakes his head. "I just need you in my arms."
points to her herself before taking his hands and putting it on her waists. " Like this?"
blushed and nodded. "... More or less."
nods and sat there with his hands on her hips.
blinks as she looked down at him. " I don't think it's suppose to work like this." She pointed out as she played with his hair.
shrugs. "I just want to sleep with you."
ran her fingers through his hair, messing up his usual upright hair. " Shouldn't there be foreplay then?" Nope, she wasn't interpreting things right at all.
blushed. "I-I... just... want to go to bed..."
raises a brow, " We are on a bed Nikolaas. We have arrived at this bed and have been sitting and/or lying on it for the past hour or so."
sighs. "Dorthe. I want sleep."
blinks, " I can't give you something that isn't physical."
sighed and let go of her, flopping into the pillow.
leans over, hovering above him. " What's wrong?"
closes his eyes. "Tired..."
kissed his eyelids lightly, " I guess it's been a long day, ja?"
rested her chin on his head as she laid down, with her chest right in his face. " I remembered the last time we shared a bed back in the day. Somehow I ended up wearing your clothes the next morning."
nods a bit. "I could see it..."
blinks as tugged at his shirt. " Let's try that again then!"
made a sound but let her take off his shirt.
grins before pulling her shirt off to put on his. And no, she wasn't wearing a bra. She wiggled happily at how warm and large the shirt was. " Comfy~"
... hadn't meant to stare at her chest but ended up doing so.
wiggled to keep her arms inside his shirt. " Look I'm a ghost!" She laughed in a childish manner, flailing the empty sleeves about.
shakes his head. "You seem drunk almost..."
shrugs as she put her arms back in the sleeves, " If I was really drunk I would have passed out by now. I'm just hyper."
nods a bit. "Seems like it..."
quirked a brow, " So I'm not allow to be more childish like before now?"
shakes his head. "You can... I'm... just tired..."
sighs, " You used to be able to stay up longer than I could in the past..."
sighed as he took her hand. "I can, normally. I was just worried of losing you today, and am still trying to get over this cold fully."
pouts and snuggled up close, pulling up the blankets around him. " I'm right here beside you and I'll keep you warm, just like you did for me in the past."
nods a bit and wrapped his arms around her, needing the warmth from being exposed now.
reached over and loosened his scarf lightly to look at the scar in the meantime. " I still can't get over the fact sometimes that you have to wear a scarf to sleep..."
made a sound and tried to cover it again.
held onto his wrist as she looked at him, "...I've seen it enough and even that doesn't mean you should hide it from your soon to be wife for the rest of your life."
frowns and nods. "I'm just... not use to it being exposed. I keep it covered as much as possible..."
shook her head, " I know but there isn't anything bad about it. It doesn't change you as a person or how other people look at you."
sighs. "I feel different about it..." He was really self conscious about it.
looks to him, " How so?" She tried to be more understanding.
shrugs. "I feel weak when people see it. Though, no one besides you have seen it..."
frowns, " Can I give you my strength then so you wouldn't be afraid?"
shakes his head. "I don't want to take anything from you. I'll... get over it, eventually..." He tightened the scarf around him again.
pouts and loosens it again. " Nej, it's fine. Besides, knowing you, you never can get over anything. Remember your old rabbit?"
frowned and curled up a bit.
sighed, " See I was right after all. You couldn't get over the fact she ate the paper ring I made for you."
snorts, " She also had better pick up lines compared to you."
sighed before shifting his head and kissing the scar on his exposed neck, leaving a mark there. She was quite spontaneous on her actions sometimes
shivered and shied a little from that.
pouts, " Oh now you're running away from me. That's not nice."
shakes his head. "It just... felt weird. I don't mean to run from you..."
pulled his scarf off and put it on herself. " Usually the only time you will feel weird is when I crack bad jokes or that you're horny as hell. Neither of that has happened yet, Nikolaas."
blushed and lightly put his hand around his neck.
pulled his hand away, " It's nothing to be afraid of. You protected me so its really more so a battle scar." She smiled.
nods a little. "But it was terrifying. I have nightmares of it now and then."
leaned over and added a few more marks to his neck. " Well, now you're not the only one that has an injury to their neck." She pointed the bandage covering her neck.
nods a little, feeling slightly better, even if it was bad.
yawned a bit after that, nuzzling the scarf after. " You'll be fine..."
nodded again and tried to sleep.
smiled and tucked him in better.
wriggled a bit. " Are you cold?"
shakes his head. "Just... I want you close."
nods as she stayed close to him.
hums. "Goednacht... Dorthe..."
fell asleep rather quickly with her in his arms.
