Tumblr hasn't been giving me any notifications for your posts! Really glad I stopped by anyway. For a snippet... You decide to get some self defence training but don't tell Ivar because he might take offence that you think he can't protect you. But then you start spending time with your training and that's a whole lot worse for Ivar and his suspicious mind... But of course he doesn't just ask you about it...he has to follow you first to check if he's right...
A/n: Yeah, I'm sorry about that, love. Tumblr really has it out for me and not notifying anyone when I post anything...But I'm glad you stopped by too :)
He tries not to let his suspicions show when you say goodbye to him but he doesn't believe you when you say that you're going to visit your mother and sister. He would believe you if you haven't gone to 'visit' them every day for the past month, always coming back tired, and hiding that you're in some kind of pain. Even though you've tried to hide all this from him, he knows that you're keeping something from him and he intends to find out what that is.
All he can think about as he quietly follows you from a distance, crawling on the floor because he feels like he would make more unnecessary noise, is that you're probably on your way to meet with a lover you have found. Perhaps you have grown tired of him, your patience has run out with his inability to pleasure you and now you've found someone else. He would rather be killed than lose you, his queen, because he can't fuck like other men.
Frowning in confusion when he sees you waiting in an open field that seems to have been turned into a training field, he hides behind a tree and watches as you pick up an ax and spin in your hand. It only confuses you more. Ivar's never known you as a fighter. You have always been the more gentle person in this relationship and he's always felt like it is his responsibility to protect you, to fight anyone that would dare harm you.
So, where has this come from?
Before anyone else can join you, whoever it is that's training you, he pulls himself forward.
When you hear leaves rustling behind you, you spin around to see who it is, gripping the ax tighter in your hand because your trainer normally announces themself when they appear. This has to be someone uninvited. And when you see Ivar, your smile falls, your heart sinks, and you lower the ax to your side. "Ivar? What are you doing here?"
"I was going to ask you the same thing," he mentions, crawling closer to you all while keeping his eyes on you. "But it's clear what you've been doing now. Obviously, you do not think me capable of protecting you-"
"That's not what this is about," you cut him off, placing the ax to the side as you look away from him. "That's not what I wanted you to think because I know you would be offended." When he doesn't respond to that, you turn your head to look at him again and find him not looking at you anymore, you realize that that was exactly what he was feeling. "Ivar, I wanted to do this because I want to be able to protect myself when you're not here. I don't want you to constantly worry about me when you're in England and I'm not with you. Because sometimes I don't want to travel over the sea and just want to say home but I know what you would say to that."
He turns his head to you again, his mouth in a tight straight line, and he lets out a sigh as he nods his head. "Who is training you then?" You frown at him because you thought that he would argue more about this with you. "If you're going to learn how to fight, you should be taught by someone who knows what they're talking about."
"And let me guess, you think that you're the best option," you chuckle, folding your arms over your chest as you take a small step forward. He smirks and gently shrugs his shoulders. "Don't you worry about that. I've got a good teacher."
"Who?" he asks again as you turn around. But all you do is smirk at him over your shoulder.
