Floki Asking You To Be His Would Include...
Tumblr media
-To be honest he would not want to be the one to ask you to be with him. Even though he is a very social man that knows a way with words he does not like the thought of being the one to first ask a woman these things.
-He would prefer you be the one to ask him instead of him doing that. He is also quite scared of being in a relationship because of what happened to Helga and his daughter.
-Because of what happened with his wife and daughter he is afraid of being in a relationship again. So, that is a possibility on why he does not want to ask you first.
-He actually likes you though. So, he often likes to talk to you and be with you as well.
-He enjoys being with you and learning new things about you as well. Often times he will sit with you during the feasts and talk with you all night until you both have to go to bed.
-After a while of both of you talking, he had tried to give you hints that he does want to be with you. Like he will often flirt with you and be just a little bit touchier with you as well.
-After a while of this you had started to notice these things that he was doing with you. And you had questioned him about it and he had made it make sense to you and told you that he wanted to be with you like that but was too afraid to ask.
-You yourself had started to feel some things for him so you had agreed to be with him.
-And after that day you and Floki had been together and both of you are as happy as you both could be.

Floki fluff
You’re drunk and tried to kiss Floki.
Warnings: nothing but falling more in love with Floki ❤
Tumblr media
You were drinking with Floki.
„I really like you.“, you admitted.
You tried to kiss him but he gently pushed you away „I want you to be sober and really wanting this.“
„B-but I don’t know if I’m confident enough to kiss you when I’m sober.“, you mumbled against his shoulder.
He gave you a kiss on top of your head „Y/N you are so much more confident then you think.“
You felt warm and save in his arms and a few moments later you fell asleep.
The next morning you woke up but something was strange. You tried to turn around but something or someone was holding you tight.
Flashbacks of last night rushed through your mind and you blushed. You were embarrassed because you just told Floki your feelings kind of and on the other hand Floki was so sweet and caring. He must have carried you to his house because you still lived with your family. But here it was just you and him.
„Floki?“, you whispered.
„Good morning Y/N.“, he answered.
You turned around to face him. Still in his arms you studied his face, to see what he feels or thinks. His eyes were warm and soft…and looking in your eyes. You tried not to blush. Your heart was beating faster and faster.
You didn’t know what to say so you leaned forward. One hand was on your back and one hand was on your cheek.
Then your lips found his. His grip on your back was getting stronger and your kiss was getting more passionate. He bit your lip and your hand was running through his hair.
Suddendly he stopped and just looked at you.
„Did I do something wrong?“, you asked worried.
He shook his head smiling „I just enjoy looking at you.“
You smiled back „And I like looking at you.“ and kissed him again.

Well-Being V. Belief (Bjorn Ironside x Reader)
Warning: Abuse of many forms and Self-Harm
A/N: Everyone is over the age of 18
MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
A/N: I don’t know if I will make this a series, I made this for comfort of myself so I apologize if this upsets anyone.
 I am not in this situation anymore 
If you or anyone you know is experiencing something like this remember it is not weak to ask for help Abuse Hotline:  800-799-7233 Suicide Hotline: 988 Summary:  Reaching out for help is not a bad thing and Bjorn is trying to help you understand that, but when rumors seep into the dark corners of his mind he says things he regrets, and now he only hopes it is not to late.
Tumblr media
Another victory has fallen over Kattegat as both warriors and shield maidens alike depart from their boats. Many people rejoice at the reunion of their loved ones. Some who are not as fortunate cry out at their loss of lovers, friends, mothers, and fathers. You were hoping you were the “unfortunate” one, but you are disappointed when you see your father walking down the dock and toward you. Your eyes cast down as a feeling of dread enters your body. The next thing you know you feel two firm hands on your sides and you let out a shriek. You turn your head to the left to see a laughing blond.
“Bjorn!” You exclaim before glancing in your fathers direction only for him to stalk away.
“I was disappointed that I didn’t meet your eyes once we were ashore. I had to get your attention some how!” He says with a smile.
“My name would have been just fine Ironside.” Bjorn only chuckles.
“Has the God Bragi taken ahold of you and deem you a poet? You just rhymed” You roll your eyes if annoyance.
“What was your raid like?” You ask trying to change this idiotic subject.
Bjorn turns to face the direction of the mead hall and wraps an arm around your shoulder while turning you as well.
“Let me tell you! It was fantasti-” You cut him off by removing yourself from under his arm. 
“You smell and need a ba-” Suddenly you are picked up bridal style. 
“A bath you say!” He exclaims as he starts a light jog toward the beach.
“Bjorn! Don’t you dare! I hate it when  you do thi-”  The splash of water on your bottom is quickly turned into your entire body as Bjorn goes to about knee deep and plops down.
You let out another shriek as the cold waters of the fjord seep into your bones. You look up to see Bjorn belly laughing as he holds you close to him.
“This will never get old.” He says with a smile as you both sit.
He begins to let go but you quickly grip on to him, hoping that he assumes it is under the guise of not wanting to seep deeper into the water.
“Can we... Can we stay like this for a moment longer?” You ask tucking your head into his shoulder.
“Of course...” He says with a slight smile before moving the arm that was under your legs to around your waist tugging you impossibly close to him always keeping his hands in the most respectful places.
You and Bjorn had many moments like this. You hope that it doesn’t make him uncomfortable in any way because these moments were the only times you really felt truly safe.
After a minute or so Bjorn speaks up. “Do I still smell?” 
“Hold on...” You say before pressing your nose to the side of his face. You take in a deep sniff near his ear which makes him duck out of the way to avoid the sound.  “Yeah you still smell like a gutted fish!”
“A gutted fish! That’s a new one.” He says with a laugh as he plops you in the water. 
“Hey!” You shout as you feel the pebbles of the fjord dig into your bottom.
You stands up quickly and flick his forehead.
“Hey!” He says rubbing his forehead as he stands up. “Why must you be so mean to me all the time?” He asks with a pout.
“Don’t be a baby. Now we need to get into dry clothes before freeze to death.” You say as you pick up your skirt and sludging your way out of the water.
Bjorn follows behind toward your house. “You don’t have to walk me home...” You say.
“I know but I want to.” He says and you sigh. “I will meet you in the hall Bjorn.” You say sternly and you see his face drop slightly.
He nods his head. “Yes of course. I’ll see you there.” He then turns toward the direction of his lodging and walks away.
Tumblr media
The feast in the mead hall was as great as all the others. Meats of all sorts, along with veggies of all kinds that were available. Everyone was singing and dancing as the King Ragnar Lothbrok and his family sit taller then all else. As of right now you are sitting by the fire trying your best to keep your head down in hope to not be noticed by your father, but that was short lived. You feel him sit next to you and wrap an arm around you. He seems to be saying something but all you can do is focus on not making any noise as to not cause any disturbance to the feast in front of you. You feel his arm move away from your shoulders as he turns to speak to someone. You feel his hand begin to grip your thigh. You go to stand up and move away but his grip is strong and keeps you in place.
Tumblr media
Bjorn looks on into the crowd hoping to see your eyes searching for him as well. The sight that he sees however upsets him. Your head is down and you are shaking, he looks into your lap to see the man beside you having his hand on your thigh. He looks to your clasped hands to see that your knuckles are turning white. By your body language he can tell that you are not a willing participant.
He is about to approach when a hand lands itself on his shoulder. He looks to the right of him to see his uncle Rollo. Rollo’s eyes follow the last place Bjorn was looking to.
“Her relationship with her father is normal at this point. They can’t seem to take their hands off each other.” Rollo says.
“Can you not see that she is not a willing participant? She needs help.” He says about to walk over only for the grip on his shoulder to stop him from moving further. 
“It is normal Bjorn. You hear the rumors around those two, you shouldn’t delude yourself in her presence no matter how much you like her.” 
Bjorn uses his right hand to grip his uncles shirt and press him against one of the wooden posts.
“You will not speak to her in such ways!” He hisses pressing his full arm into Rollos chest.
“I am just trying to avoid you from getting hurt Bjorn...” He says as he shoves Bjorns arm away. “I am looking out for you.” He says as we walks away.
Bjorn rolls his eyes. Yes he is aware of the rumors surrounding you but that doesn’t stop him from wanting to be your friend. He walks over to the table you sit at to which he meets your fathers eye. You father removes himself from you and turns back to his conversation.
Tumblr media
You look up to see Bjorn and let out a sigh of relief as the hand on your thigh leaves you. You stand up to face Bjorn with a strained smile.
“Let us leave.” Bjorn says as he places a ginger hand on your back, in between your shoulder blades. 
You allow him to guide you out as you feel many pairs of eyes on you.
Tumblr media
You and Bjorn walk throughout Kattegat until you are at the docks.
“Are you okay?” Bjorn asks turning you toward him. 
You only nod and you hear him sigh and open his arms. You enter his embrace and hide your face in his chest. You feel his head rest against yours as he tightens his hold on you. You had expressed to him before that compression aids you in lessoning your panic.
“You know you can talk to me about anything right?” He asks.
You nod but stay silent.
You feel Bjorn inhale as if he wants to say something but stays quiet.
“I’m sorry if I am a burden to you Bjorn. I bet you would much rather be in the hall enjoying food and drink.” 
Bjorn lets go of you and take your head in his hands to which you flinch for a moment. Bjorn’s eyes fill with sorrow but continues his actions in saying. 
“You have never been a burden to me. I enjoy your company more then anything else.” He says looking into your eyes.
You give a small smile and nod in thanks. You feel his thumbs caress the apples of your cheeks as he begins to lean in. You pull away from him however. This causes Bjorn to frown, but he lets go of you for your own comfort.
“I must be getting home...” You say looking down.
“Of course would you like m-” “No thank you...” You say as you look up at him.
You quickly jog off the dock towards your home.
Tumblr media
Bjorn is filled with sadness and confusion as he sees you run away. He turns to the water front and lean against one of the posts. He was sure you felt the same. He curses to himself as he looks into the starry sky. He decides to go see the ‘Seer’ to maybe get some clarity.
He approaches the Seers hut and walks inside.
“Son of Ragnar... Why are you here?” He asks
Bjorn sits down. “I have something to ask...” “I know, but your question has yet to leave your mouth. Hurry up boy!” The Seer snaps.
“Um... Does... Does Y/N love me? Are our feelings mutual?” He asks and the Seer pauses.
“Love is all around the both of you.” “So it is mutual?” He asks excited.
“Possibly... Something stands in the way... Pray to Freyja... She will help bring clarity... Now leave. It is late.” The Seer snaps as he holds his palm out.
Bjorn takes his hand and runs his tongue along his palm before standing up to leave.
Tumblr media
The next day Bjorn decides to visit you in your home. You came to him in a dream which must have been Freyja answering his question. He approaches your home with much excitement, but pauses at the window. The sight he sees makes him scowl. Why would Freyja send him such a dream only to be confronted with this. He decides to wait outside and allow you to have your moments.
Tumblr media
You sniffle as you remove yourself from the bed and adjust your clothing. You decide to get started with your daily chores and step out of the house with a pale to collect water.
“So the rumors are true...” You hear the sound of Bjorn’s voice to the right of you.
“W-What?” You ask shakily.
“You play with my feelings all the time yet you decide to whore yourself with your own father.” You drop your pale.
“Y-You don’t know what you speak of!” You say as you march up to him. 
You grab his hands in yours digging your nails into his hands to keep him still.
“You do-” 
“I saw you allow him to kiss along your neck as his hands lay on your breasts!” Bjorn exclaims causing eyes to look in your direction.
“Bjorn please... You must understand!” You say desperately but he rips his hands out of your grasp.
“I should have listened to my Uncle. Your relationship is strange but you clearly seem to enjoy it! You like that h-” You cut him off with a slap before reach to his belt and snatching his knife and point it at him. He raises his hands in surrender as his eyes widen.
“Don’t speak of things you don’t know!” You shout as you back away a few steps before turning to run.
Tumblr media
Bjorn is again filled with hurt and sadness. He can’t decide if his eyes were deceiving him. He was confused, why would he say words like that to you? Yes he was upset about the lack of mutual affection, and yes he had heard the rumors but has always waited for you to say something. Was he wrong? Did you truly not enjoy it? Did he just allow you to be violated like that? He was right outside where he could have helped you, but instead he sat as a bystander like everyone else casting judgment on a situation he knew nothing about. He wanted to burst into your house and gut your father from groin to armpit. He decides against it and goes to his father for advice.
Tumblr media
As he walks into the hall he sees his father behind the leather curtain in the very back holding one of his children.
“Father?” He asks and Ragnar turns to him and smiles. “Come in my son.” He says as he opens the curtain for him.
“Why the sad face?” He asks with a smirk.
“Its about Y/N...” “I thought so. Tell me son.”
“I think I did something terrible...” Ragnar’s face drops for a moment. He turns to the Thralls and motions for them to take his children. “Take them for a walk.” He mumbles to them before guiding his son toward one of the chairs inside his bedroom.
“Son what did you do?” He asks concerned.
“I allowed her to be assaulted... I stood by and waited for it to be over. I heard her cry, but I was under the impression she enjoyed it...” Bjorn’s eyes begin to fill with tears.
Ragnars face morphs into one of anger, but stays silent.
“I allowed other peoples opinions of her enter my head. I called her a whore. I told her she enjoyed it. The reaction she gave showed the opposite. I feel terrible. I-” Ragnar cuts him off with a quick smack to the side of his head.
“You are truly an ignorant boy!” He growls. “Letting jealousy and belief come first over someone’s well-being is selfish!” He exclaims which causes Bjorn to finally let his tears fall.
“What happened afterwards!” Ragnar demands. 
“She slapped me before grabbing my knife and running away.” Ragnar runs his hand fall over his face.
“She is very unstable right now. You must find her before she does something you both may regret.” 
“But her fathe-” “I will deal with him now you must find her quickly.” Bjorn nods before standing up and rushing out of the hall to find you.
Tumblr media
You had been running for a long while. Your shoes have been torn off a mile or so ago. Your feet are bleeding and sore. Your hand is cramping from clutching onto the handle of Bjorn’s knife so long. Finally you see a clearing and slow down to a full stop. The sunlight shines through the canopy as dots of gold hit the floor. You decide to sit in the center of it. You look down at the knife in your hand and twist it in your palm. You take a deep breath as you place the blade against the inside of your left wrist.
“Odin... Odin I hope you can hear me. I wish to give my life to you, Though I may not ever enter Valhalla, I hope you take my death as a worthy sacrifice... And I hope that one day B-Bjorn forgives me... I know I am at fault for all of this... I-”
“it isn’t your fault!” You hear a voice shout. 
You turn around to see Bjorn entering the clearing.
“It isn’t your fau-” “It is!” You cut him off. “I-I allowed it to happen!”
“You didn’t! A father should never do that to their children. Yo-” 
“But you agree with everyone else! You believe the rumors!” You cry as tears fall down your cheeks.
“I do-” 
“You called me a whore! Like I had a choice for what I was going through!” You sob. “I didn’t... I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t!” You lament as you press the knife into your wrist.
“DON’T!” Bjorn shouts. “Don’t do it please! You can’t!” He says as he starts rushing toward you but you hold your wrist up to show him that you are serious.
“I am telling you not to do this! You wil-” “There is no justice for me!” You shout.
“No one will believe me! My father is a great warrior they wouldn’t waste it on me!
“Y-You agreed with them... The only person in the entirety of Midgard I felt safe with...” 
“My love please put the knife down!” Bjorn pleads.
“This knife is the only thing I have left of you! And it brings me comfort that you are here...” You say with a sniffle as you finally do what you intended.
“NO!” Bjorn immediately rushes to you as you decide to collapse to the ground. He takes off his shirt and begins to rip it into pieces. He wraps them around your wrists and holds pressure on them causing you to cry out.
“No, NO, keep those eyes open!” Bjorn shouts.
“I love you! You cannot leave me now!” He continues to beg.
Once he has them tightly faceted on your wrist he picks you up. 
“I am going to get you to Floki! Helga should be home. She will help!” He shouts hoping you can hear him. He quickly takes off in the direction of Floki’s home.
A/N: If anyone wants a part two I might make one. Like I said this was for comfort for myself, so I wrote until I felt like I couldn’t anymore.

If you ask the Viking boys how their day was
Tumblr media
Ivar the God
Glad you are interested in him
Embellishes everything pompously, after all, he is a god and does divine things.
You are not quite sure if he is telling the truth when he said he killed a deer with a single dagger throw.
He tells how he caught a fish with his hands, but threw it back into the water because the fish had spoken to him.
Odin would have sent him a special message today, but he doesn't tell you what it is (yes, you know, don't you?).
Doesn't ask you once how your day was, because he's far from finished with his
Speaks with hands and feet…. Huh, I mean, facial expressions
Then ask you, what you think about it. I don't know, play dumb, be happy for him and tell him how great he is, it's better for you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Halfdan the Bored
He didn't know if you are serious about the question
After the third time of asking, he thinks about how to start.
He starts laughing and looks around as he comes closer to you
Starts from the beginning, how he was awake, what he has eaten and what he was thinking as he does it
When you look sideways, bored, he nudges you.
Tells everything exactly, no embellishment, because he found the day super interesting
In the end, you regret it because he only fished with Bjorn. But now you know that there will be pike for dinner. Super
He asks you how your day was. Yeah, you could have saved your sentences. Attention span like a mouse, but he's nice, and when you finish a sentence he gets it and says good. Thanks for that....
Hvitserk the Drunkenness
He smiles sheepishly at the question and first pours you a beer
Pours you beer when yours is empty and gets you snacks,
He asks you about your day without having told you about his.
Listens to you attentively and asks if he notices that you have experienced something special.
You are already a bit tipsy and you both laugh about trivial things. The glass fell out of your hand, he laughed and spat his Beer all over the table.
By now, you have forgotten what you were talking about and what you were actually asking him.
You both get the stupid idea of teasing Ubba and both get an enema from him that you shouldn't get too drunk.
The next morning, you wake up naked next to him with a fucking hangover. No idea what happened, ask yourself
Tumblr media
Bjorn the Grumpy
It seems super suspicious to him what you want to achieve with the question
He gives you a nasty look when you explain that you were just trying to be nice.
He scares you when he comes up to you and just stands in front of you. Run?
If you are female, young and single, his gaze changes. Run?
Says his day was good and tries to touch you. If you are a man, he puts a hand on his sword. (The one made of iron! Please...)
Ask you how your day was, again it depends on the gender. With females, probably nice and seductive, with males, threatening.
You quickly decide to say that yours was good too, but no more, get out of here fast. Or ?
There are now several ways to do this. Males should take their legs in their hands and walk. Young women should run, but that is your decision.
Tumblr media
Floki the Madman
He starts with the gods, because everything we do is directed by them.
Tells you about the trees he cut down and wants to show you, jumping up as he does so. Go or don't go with him, I would.
Having decided to go along (meaning me) you may stroke his wood. (huh? Wood!)
While stroking it, he explains to you why the grain of the wood is important.
Now that you are already at home with him, you may also touch the new sails. I've just got it with the stroking, don't ask me.
At the end, you sit with him and Helga in front of the fire and they both tell you Odin's story. In the end, you don't know how you got here, but you have a lot of fun.
Floki asks you if you want to help him tomorrow, but you're not sure if you feel like touching trees, because let's face it, we all have no idea how Floki finds the right trees. And for the next few days, you've stroked enough wood.

Vikings Tv series
I have been watching this show for the last few weeks overall I love all the characters, the plot and the history of the Vikings themselves. The battles are perfect. The drama is perfect as well. The whole show is just 100% amazing. I love the whole cast together.

Ivar & Children Part III ⎮Ink Drinker Modern Vikings AU One-Shot [Ivar x F!Reader]
find the series masterpost here.
author’s note: much like what this holiday represents, we’re having the re-birth of Ink Drinker. yes, that sounded much better in my head. 
content warnings: medical jargon, children getting hurt, Ivar and children
word count: 1000+ words
Tumblr media
You recognize the address as soon as the report sings from the radio. Despite the nature of the call, you’re worried it’s actually Floki who has injured himself and not his son—and in the confusion the child called for the emergency response. 
When you step into Floki’s home, Hvitserk is right on your six and you’re scanning for evidence of trauma that doesn’t seem to exist. Instead, Helga’s holding their youngest son, Apollo who has just reached his second birthday last week—your mind recalls the quick image of Ivar dancing with him to celebrate before he blows out his birthday candles. Apollo shirt was torn off in a rush and his chest is red—ruby red and you already know.
“I didn’t know he could reach the counter,” Helga nearly cries softly. “Next thing I knew he was wearing my tea,” She adds. “The pediatrician—”
“She told us to take him to the emergency room,” Floki says for her. “I knew this would be faster once I realized who was at work today,” He finishes, winking at you. 
Apollo screams when your chief attempts to take a closer look at the burn.
“Let me try—coordinate with medical control, you know what’s going to happen,” You say.
“When did you become my boss?” He teases.
“When you hired me,” You joke back. “Apollo—it’s me, baby,” You say softly while you pull your mask down. “It’s Miss Y/N,” And the familiar voice calls the boy to calm slightly in your presence. “We’re just going to take a look at you tummy, Mommy and Daddy aren’t going anywhere, alright?”
“Floki, can you pack up some of his things?” Hvitserk asks. “I’ll pull vitals,”
“Do a manual heart rate,” You start, “On his back, there’s no room for it on his chest it’s too burnt—he’s not allergic to anything that you know of, Helga?” You ask and she nods. 
“This is going to give your arm a real tight hug, alright?” Hvitserk says as he attaches the pediatric cuff. “Do you want to try to squeeze my hand just as hard? He then offers, holding up a gloved hand. Apollo reaches out quickly, grabbing the first two fingers and barrels down, despite the soft grip Hvitserk lets out a huff of improvised impression. “You’re a strong little man!”
“Breathing rate is high,” You mumble.
“Mine would be too!” Hvitserk says, “It’s scary when you hurt yourself. We have 110 on 72,”
“Little high, too,” You say. “Can you walk me through what happened, Helga?”
“I had my back turned just to grab the sugar—I didn’t even know he was able to reach that high and I had just taken the kettle off and poured a cup…next thing I knew he started screaming and I—I took his shirt right off,”
“He didn’t lose consciousness?”
“No, he just started screaming,”
“Nothing in his diaper?”
“No, that was the first place I looked too—it just got on his chest and on his one wrist—oh sweetheart I’m so sorry I should have known better—”
“Helga these things happen to all parents, this is how we learn,” Hvitserk says.
“Helga,” You start, “There’s not much we’re going to be able to do from our end. We can give him pain medication but he’s going to have to be air lifted to a burn center,” You say firmly. “Now, they’re going to put him in a burn dressing—for someone his age it’ll likely be a silver sulfadiazine suit or a biobrane dressing. From what I can see, it looks like a partial thickness burn, which is what we would prefer over a full thickness,”
“Phoenix is still in school—how far is the center?” Helga asks.
“A few hours away,” You start. “I’ll call Ivar,”
“Thank you,” She says to you. “I can’t think straight right now,” 
*
When Ivar knocks on the door to the classroom, he’s greeted with the warm smile from Phoenix school teacher.
“His father called you?” Ivar asks.
“He did, Phoenix has not stopped talking about it since we told him,”
“Mr. Ivar!” Phoenix beckons. “It’s Mr. Ivar,” He says proudly to his teacher. Ivar kneels to his height before speaking:
“How about you and I go get something to eat?” Ivar suggests.
“Tacos?” The child requests.
“A man wise beyond his years,” Ivar hums, lifting Phoenix’s backpack onto his shoulder.
*
Ivar waits. In doing so, he watches the child before him inhale one taco after the other. He can hardly see Phoenix chewing. Finally, as his mouth slows, he peeks up at Ivar through eyes that match Floki’s perfectly.
“What did you do today, Mr. Ivar?” “Did you go to work?”
“No, no, I was off today. I talked to Y/N, and I talked to your mommy and daddy about Apollo,”
“Why?” Phoenix asks, Ivar takes in a breath and mentally prepares himself.
“Little brother got hurt, he’s with mommy and daddy at the doctors,”
“I hurted myself on my bike the other day,” 
“Yes, I remember, and what happened?” Ivar asks.
“My knee was all red,”
“Little brother hurt himself with Mama’s tea. Remember how mama likes her tea each morning? And how Mr. Ivar drinks his coffee, and so does Y/N?”
“Daddy says Miss Y/N drinks coffee like it’s ‘going out of style’,” Phoenix replies, air quotes and all—it makes Ivar snort.
“Yes, well Apollo got the hot tea on himself, and on his chest. Do you know where your chest is?"
“Right here!”Phoenix replies. “And, here is my heart—mama says that’s where kindness comes from,”
“Mama’s right,” Ivar starts. “Now, do you remember when Mr. Ivar was at the doctor’s office after he hurt his legs?”
“Daddy said not to touch them,”
“That’s what it’s going to be like for Apollo—we have to make sure we don’t touch where he hurt himself because it’s going to be sore—just like your knee when you fell off your bike. Now, I was thinking maybe we could draw a picture for little brother, so he can feel better when he’s home?”
“Mr. Ivar?”
“Yes, little man?”
“Is Apollo going to be alright?”
“He’s going to be just fine—Miss Y/N and Mr. Hvitty made sure of it,”
“He got to go in the am-bu-wance?” Phoenix gasps. “I went in one when we saw them at the school!” 
“He did,” Ivar replies, leaving out the part where he was also air lifted in the helicopter, because he knows that Phoenix will be asking you for that for the next year once he finds out. 
As Phoenix makes sure to leave no crumb behind, Ivar peaks down at his phone to see your message:
All set at the hospital, see you tonight xo
“Ready for the art store?” Ivar asks.
“Can we get a taco to go, for later?” Phoenix asks.
