Ch.9

I had arrived at Berwald's house later on that night. He had been standing on the porch waiting for me. I felt bad for him, it was rather obvious that he had been standing there waiting for hours now.

He let me in, and enveloped me in his arms. I felt welcome in the warm embrace. I remember thinking about how much I loved him. Berwald, with his kind personality, his face which would usually be tied into a grimace, and most of all his heart. That huge heart.

Remember Berwald's enemy/step brother Mathias? Well the once feuding families were still tied together, and the wild Dane still dwelled in Berwald's home. His own boyfriend, Nikolai, was around almost as often as me, but he didn't live there. The expressionless Norwegian made his way over whenever he was bored and needed something erm… 'exciting' to do. The first few nights in my new home were quite awkward. Norwegian and Danish moans alike echoed through the darkness of night.

Berwald and I did not participate in such games, and I spent all of my nights cuddled warmly in Berwald's arms. Every night I slept with my face buried into Berwald's bare chest, his strong arms wrapped expertly around me, and two pairs of legs never ceasing to intertwine. I felt safe in Berwald's arms. Safer than I had felt in years.

While asleep, Berwald's stoic expression no longer existed. His usually 'creepy' aura evaporated. All that was left of the expressionless Sweden then was a man with the face of a child, dreams decorating his resting mind. He looked so sweet. So harmless. I simply couldn't get enough of it. That face…

I had gotten used to falling asleep to it, and waking up to it as well. I found myself craving the look of innocence on the face of the larger male. So one morning, this morning to be exact, when I woke up not to Berwald's sweet look of innocence but to him sitting on the edge of his—no, our bed, fixing his tie, I was surprised to say the least.

Berwald had looked at me and smiled. He stood and stepped over to my side of the bed. Leaning over, he planted a delicate kiss on my forehead.

''I have a surprise for you.''
