Chapter 7
Jak's POV:
My shattered memories still haunt me in both my moments awake and my dreams, some days aren't so bad as others, but seeing Den in pain, seeing him bleed there before me from the pain I had caused him. The darkness decided to pick my worst memories to haunt me, the first was the first time I had tried to sleep with Den, being a naive child at the time and being told I was different than the Norway, made me think I wasn't good enough for him to be with. I was beat for thinking that I deserved him more than Norway, just one way how I received my scars. The memory faded I wanted to cry and scream I hate the dark, I hate being alone even more. The memories shifted to one of the worst I have. War was raging around me as I fought for my life; the guns blazed as men rushed into a small battle that no one would remember. The men of the small army were told I was a man and they were to protect me, unfortunately they found the truth and I was killed. This time I really did screamed out, shifting out of my dark memory filled dreams into a pair of strong arms in the back of a small car.
"Jak, it ok, I've got you, you're ok. Nothing happened, you're alive." Mathias whispered softly in my ear as my heart pounded so fast it felt like it was going to pop straight out of my chest.
"M-Mathias?" I was almost in tears as I buried my head in his chest. With his arms clasped tightly around me, I felt safe.
"Ja I'm right here, I'm fine." He rubbed my back softly, I tried my best to hold back the tears; I hated crying infront of him it made me feel like I was weak.
I looked up at him, "Are you ok? Did I break it?"
He had a bandage on his nose but it didn't look broken, he smiled at me. "Nope not broken, I'm fine."
"Good..." I smiled slightly at him. I remembered what I had told Brianna and blushed turning away from him and looking up front just noticing Brianna with a slightly devious smile and Brit driving."Iggy I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
"No its fine I'm used to that sort of thing. Everyone has nightmares." He cut me off. I smiled sadly.
"Still I'm so sorry." I laid my forehead against the cool window as we drove to the flats. I felt Mathias reach across the small space and take my hand squeezing it lightly to let me know he was here for me. I whispered against the glass speaking Danish hoping he would too and know I didn't want the others to understand. "Thank you."
"It was my fault I grabbed you." His voice sound better whenever he spoke Danish, it matched his rough, rugged voice making it sound softer than English ever did. I loved just listening to him go on and on. "If I hadn't done that, you wouldn't have been sedated and had your nightmare."
I shrugged, "It would have happened anyways."
He picked my hand up lightly and kissed, I turned to look at him. "I love you Jakkubiina Thomasen."
I blushed at the way he said my name. "I love you too, Mathias Køhler."
He smiled and kissed my hand gently again. "I'm still sorry for that whole thing."
"Mathias..." I thought for a moment did I really want to ask this?
"Ja?" He looked at me with his beautiful sea blue eyes.
"I was wondering if maybe we could have sex?" I blushed and took my hand back laying both down in my lap twiddling my thumbs, hoping he didn't think I was crazy.
"You... want... to... have... sex... with me?" He thought for a long time between each word, pounding in the fact I was asking for sex.
"Ja Mathias I want to give you every part of me."
"Well I have to run out and buy condoms. Unless you really want-"
"I swear to the gods if you don't wear a condom you'll lose that precious dick of yours." He stared at me for a minute then laughed.
"Alright Jak I'll run out as soon as we get home."
"You better." I muttered as I rested my head on his shoulder. He took my hand again just holding on to me like he never wanted to let go. "Mathias?"
"Hm?"
"Thank you..." I said looking back out the window.
"For what? I haven't even gotten you to bed yet."
I shrugged, "Loving me, and letting me live with you."
"Of course where would I be without my little Greenland." He leaned over and kissed my neck softly.
"Ok you two stop the Danish we don't understand!" Brianna looked back at us.
"Will do!" Mathias returned to english. I was always surprised how quickly he could change languages so simply. "Jak here was just asking me if-"
I quickly covered his mouth with my hand, making me blush. Brianna winked and Iggy sighed, "Can you please keep that to yourselves?"
Mathias licked my hand slightly and I let go. "Sure we can do that right Jak?"
"Ja..." I blushed and giggled as he nibbled my earlobe.
He moved down lower to my neck biting me softly, I moaned softly making Brianna turn and stare. I blushed at the attention, but Mathias didn't mind in fact, he cherished it. He turned my face to his and he kissed my lips passionately. I blushed, I was still unused to this whole being a lover thing. I felt like a child clumsily trying to return his kisses not knowing what to do with my body. I noticed Brianna turn away and blush, Iggy looked at us in the rearview mirror.
"Can you two save the love making for the flat?" Iggy snapped.
Mathias ignored him and continued to kiss me grazing his tongue against my lip. I didn't quite understand so he tickled me making me open my mouth as he took his chance to slip his tongue into my mouth. I felt my blush darken as slid his tongue over mine. I felt his hand run up my leg, sending shivers of pleasure through my body. I wanted him so badly, I craved touching him feeling his body. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. The car hit a few bumps and we were tossed, him landing on top of me in an awkward position. I blushed deeper and tried to move out from under him. Unfortunately Mathias is the dominant personality and wouldn't let me move. He resumed kissing me moving his knee between my legs. I blushed at the intrusion still unsure of everything going on. Suddenly the car came to a stop and Mathias was jolted up off me. I sat up quickly wondering what just happened, when I noticed Iggy's glare I wanted to shrink into the seat.
"Do you two ever listen?!" He was really pissed.
Mathias, who was now stuck in a very awkward place between the seats, muffled voice came from where I assume his head was. "You need to get that stick out of your ass, we weren't going that far just kissing!"
"I don't care save it for some other time."
"B-but..." Mathias removed himself for the seats. His hair was more messy than it's normal. I smiled and played with it making him blush, I giggled as he made little faces as adjusted his hair. He took my hand and kissed it lightly, I blushed a little and Mathias smiled against my skin.
"Jeg elsker dig min smukke kæreste~." I whispered kissing his cheek lightly.
"Jeg elsker også dig min lille Grønland~" He kissed my neck in return.
We arrived at the apartment complex Iggy helped Bri out of the car, still giving Mathias the You're-lucky-I-don't-kill-you-for-that look. I blushed slightly as Mathias smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist as soon as I got out of the car kissing the back of my neck lightly. He took my hand squeezing it, he let go then started walking away.
"M-Mathias why are you leaving me?!" I called after him.
"To the store, to buy the condoms~!" He smiled as he walked away.
I blushed darkly as Bri laughed so hard that she almost fell on the ground. "You really did it?! You asked him?!"
"Of course I asked him, I don't lie!" I was going to hit her. Iggy smiled slightly and nodded knowing that this was one of the better decisions I had ever made.
"You might wanna put on the underwear he got you... you know it might turn him on a bit." Iggy blushed and both Bri and I fell over laughing. "Its not funny now you stupid Danes can stop fighting!"
I shrugged, "We are always going to fight... Just who we are..."
He nodded and hit the elevator button. "How long do you think this is going to last with him."
"I hope for the rest of our lives but..." I trailed off. I really hadn't thought that far, what if it didn't last that long?
"But that is nearly impossible." Iggy finished my sentence.
I nodded and looked away trying to hide the tears that were burning my eyes. He was right it was stupid to think that this relationship would ever work out. I heard some harsh whispers go back and forth between Bri and him. Then felt his hand on my shoulder.
"Jakkubiina, I didn't mean for it to sound that harsh..."
I shook my head, "Nej, you're right I'm just a child for believing that this could possibly be a good relationship."
"You never know you two have been through so much... How many years has it been that you two have been together? 800?" The elevator arrived and we stepped on, hitting the button for Floor 20.
"751 years we have known each other, 198 years that I have been under his reign. I have been living with him for the past six months." I rattled it off quickly blushing at how stupid it sounded that I could remember everything about us.
"That is one of the longest relationship two reps have ever had where they love one another. You two have a strong bond, I doubt it can be broken very easily."
"Like the red string." Brianna said cheerfully.
"The what?" I looked at her, what could be so special about a red string?
"The red string. There is this legend that two people are connected by a red string. It can never be broken or torn it's always there no matter what. It guides the two people together and they are supposed to be true lovers, meant to be."
I snorted at the thought of Mathias and me ever being connected. "Like that could ever be true..."
Iggy laughed, "You sound so hypocritical, you still believe in Thor and Mother Sea."
I blushed, "I don't... I just like the stories!"
"Oh really last time you got drunk, you were shouting that you had been created and
chosen by Mother Sea to be a rep." He teased me.
"So? I was drunk at least I'm not sober when I claim to see fairies and unicorns!"
"Guys please no more fighting!" Bri stood between us.
Iggy sighed, "Jak look you never know how long something like this can last. It can go on until you are free and independent or..."
"Until he loses me to someone else and my country is signed over..." A lump in my throat was starting to form. "I can pray that this last a long time, but I know it won't."
The elevator arrived and we stepped on the ride was pretty silent the whole way up.
(Sorry for the wait and that it's a bit short, school's taken over. Also, the next chapter is going to get sexual. Very sexual.)
