breathed in the salty sea air as he rested against the railing while sipping on a vodka tonic.
comes up slipping the vodka tonic from his hands and stealing a small drink, she handed it back after. She just wanted to bother him.
raised an eyebrow at her but said nothing. He always felt so relaxed when on the water.
loved being out on his ship, she missed sailing all the time. "Hej." She said, she shifted to look over the railing she was only in sandles_
and her bikini.
sandals**
"Hej." He sipped his drink and glanced over at her, finally noticing that she was wearing a bikini. "Y' l'k n'ce."
flushes a bit, why did people keep saying that? "T-tack..?" She didn't know why people kept saying that..
nodded and looked back out at the water.
shrugs slightly. "R'ssia sa'd the s'me th'ng.."
nearly growled. He didn't want Russia checking out Astrid.
notices his face. "Wh't...?"
shook his head. "D'n't l'ke R'ssia."
nods slightly. "Ne'ther do I." She wondered if there was something more besides him just not liking the Russian.
Sweden
was
protective over her, and didn't want Russia to hurt her.
leans on him slightly. "Sc'red h'll h'rt me?"
wrapped his arm around her lightly. She couldn't possibly be warm in that! "H's d'ne 't b'fore."
isn't. In fact she was cold and on her way to change, when she noticed him. "Ja.. I kn'w." She knew all too well.
"… B' c'ref'l?" He hadn't meant it to be a question, but that was how it came out.
leans her head on him, she was getting herself warm. "Ja I w'll be."
rubbed his hand over her arm and held his drink out to her.
takes his drink again and takes a small mouthful handing it back the liquid warming her. "Tack."
nodded politely, watching the water.
goes back to watching the water, she was glad he was warm.
Sweden
was
happy to be a help. "H'w're y' l'kin' th' cruise?"
smiled a bit down at the water. "I l've it.. 'M g'ld to be on the w'ter 'gain."
nodded in silent agreement.
closes her eyes breathing out a sigh. She honestly missed going out on the water all the time.
missed it as well. "Wh'n 's w'rm'r we sh'ld g' out 'n th' w't'r m're."
nods to him, she was obviously excited, her eyes shone happily. "Ja, I w'uld l've th't."
stared at her in awe for a moment before nodding with a small smile, blushing a bit as he turned to look back at the water.
notices the blush. "Hm? Wh't was th't..? Wh're y' bl'shin..?"
shrugged it off, but blushed worse at having been caught.
stares at him still. "Ja.. Y' are bl'shin.. Wh'?"
"Y' look n'ce wh'n y're 'xc't'd."
|It was now her turn to blush. "O-oh.. Tack.." She looked at the water biting her lip still blushing as she leaned on him.
nodded, not looking at her as he willed his own embarrassment to die down.
Astrid
wonders
why he is so embarrassed?
felt kind of weird about thinking his counterpart looked pretty.
doesn't think it's weird, she thinks he is handsome, it's just a thought, there was no action behind any of it.
still thinks it feels weird.
still doesn't think so... She was sure that the Frances had slept with each other at least one.
had a feeling they'd done it more than once… a day.
can't help but agree with that wholeheartedly.
didn't even try to understand the French libido or sense of 'amour'.
didn't either, trying to just made her head hurt. "Y'er w'rm..."
"'m gl'd." He smiled faintly and pulled her a little bit closer.
lets herself be pulled, she was grateful for the warmth from him, she closed her eyes contentedly smiling a bit.
enjoyed having time like this together. He couldn't wait for nicer weather when they could go out on the sea together without all of the
other nations around.
Astrid
is
extremely excited for that time, she wished they could go now, she gave a small sigh thinking of it.
idly traced small circles on her arm with his thumb as he daydreamed about their future sailing trip.
shivers feeling his thumb doing that, it felt nice but strange. Was she content? Yes she was.
frowned at the shivers and set his cup down on the railing to hug her, assuming the shiver was because she was cold.
flushes when he hugged her, she welcomed the warmth even more so, she was a bit confused but she put her arms around him. "Y'er w'rm.."
wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to his chest and smoothing his fingers over her hair. He'd always wanted to feel it.
keeps her arms around him letting him do as he wished, she buried her face in his chest, her nose was cold.
rested his head on hers and combed his fingers through her hair. It felt even softer than he expected. "Y'r h's s'ft."
bites her lip, she wanted to laugh but didn't. "Th't's g'd to kn'w, I t'ke g'd c're of m' h'r." She shivered as he ran his fingers through.
doesn't know why she would laugh at that; it was true. He admired her hair.
Astrid
is
just flattered that's all. She wondered why he admired her hair, it was long got tangled easily and she sometimes sat on it.
had always liked long hair. It was very beautiful.
Astrid
likes
his short hair, though she could never see herself cutting her hair short. She nuzzled into him a bit more, she was content like this.
Sweden
likes
his hair short, too. He almost complimented her on the smell of her shampoo, but then he realized it was the same one he used.
would have laughed at that, though she wanted to comment on his cologne. "Y'er c'l'gne.. 's n'ce." She really liked it.
smiled with a blush. "Th'nks."
nods a bit. "Y'er w'lc'me."
tightened his arms around her briefly before relaxing them around her waist and sighing contently.
presses herself closer to Berwald when he squeezed, why did he do that..? She smiled a bit and sighed just after he did.
didn't have much of a reason, he'd just felt like doing it.
didn't mind it actually, in fact she liked it. She brought her hands up and held them between herself and him trying to warm them.
"C'ld?" He asked her curiously, rubbing his hand over the skin of her back to help warm her up. He flushed once he realized that she wasn't
wearing anything more than a bikini.
nods to him slightly, she let out a gasp and she arched her back letting out a small gasp when he touched her.
"S'rry." He mumbled sheepishly, pulling his hand back.
shakes her head she reached out and pulled his hand back. "'S f'ne." She liked the warmth of his hand and the weird shock the movement_
sent up her spine.
Sweden
was
surprised by her boldness and gulped, but nodded and returned to slowly moving his hand over the smooth skin of her back.
shivers and tenses as he moved his hand, that feeling was strange but in a good way, she let out a sigh from the heat.
took a deep breath to try and steady his increasing heart rate. He hadn't felt many women's backs, but it felt as smooth as silk and he
found that he didn't want to pull away from their position.
didn't often get this close to anyone let alone a man, she felt small compared to him, it was odd, but she liked it and didn't want to pull_
away.
kissed the side of her head lightly. "Y're b't'ful." He mumbled in to her hair, flushing once he'd said it, unsure of what had compelled him
to do it.
flushed at the kiss and then even brighter at the compliment, she didn't say anything, but her breath hitched at that. "A-ah.."
Sweden
was
glad she didn't say anything about it and tried to tell his mind to stop thinking about it.
couldn't think of anything to say at that moment. "W.. Wh't was th't for..?" She was flushing like mad so she refused to show him her face.
Damn. She had noticed it. "Eh… N' r'son." He mumbled, his face probably turning a dark scarlet.
shifts a bit and looks up at him noticing his blush she didn't say anything but went slightly on her toes and kissed his cheek. "Y'er_
v'ry h'nds'me.." She then bit her lip and looked away.
Sweden
was
beyond shocked. His cheek tingled where she had kissed it and his mind went in to overdrive trying to understand what was going on. "I… eh…
th'nks."
didn't know herself actually, she was mainly running on auto pilot. "Y-yer.. Uh.. W'lc'me.." She buried her face into his chest again.
felt an odd surge of pride and happiness when she buried her face in his chest. It confused him, but he sighed and tightened his arms around
her.
doesn't know why but her stomach felt knotted as he tightened his grip, her head buzzed, what was going on?
rested his hands on her waist and sighed quietly in to her hair.
keeps both hands against his chest as well as her face, she shivered as he sighed.
"W… Wh't're y' th'nk'n 'bout?" He asked quietly, feeling oddly nervous around her.
shakes her head, her mind was completely blank. "N-n'thin.." She was extremely nervous right now.
nodded. He was confused that he felt a little disappointed at that.
bites her lip. "I c'n't th'nk.. s'nce y' k'ss'd m' he'd.." She mumbled flushing still.
felt an inexplainable rush of excitement filling his body. His breath hitched in his throat as he tried not to smile. "S'rry."
shakes her head. "D-d'n't say s'rry.. 'S a g'd n'thin.." She had never had this clear of a mind.
nodded nervously but said nothing else.
quietly looks up at him, she stared silently at him.
tried not to flush under her stare. He kept his eyes on her hair, afraid of looking at her face.
Astrid
wonders
why he wont look at her, she wanted him to.
glanced at her face. It was only supposed to be for a second, but once he met her eyes it felt impossible to turn away.
's breath hitches as he stared back, she couldn't look away, it was like a spell, she couldn't move she could barely breathe. She was stuck.
slowly lifted one of his hands from her side to trace over the side of her face.
flushes and leans into the touch ever so slightly, she let out a shuttered breath.
smiled faintly as he brushed a hair out of her face. He wasn't sure what he was doing, but he didn't want to stop it.
closes her eyes slightly as he did that. "B-B'rw'ld..." She didn't know what to say after that.
"Hm?" He asked quietly, hanging eagerly to whatever it was she would say.
opens her mouth before closing it, she didn't know what to say, what should she say!? He was expecting something from her! "U-umm.." She _
flushed embarrassed and hid her face in his chest again.
smiled to himself, content with that answer. "Ah."
normally didn't talk much but thoughts never escaped her, so this situation was slightly confusing, she didn't know what to do at all.
had more than enough thoughts for the both of them, though none of them made any sense to him. Trying to understand what any of them meant
felt like walking through a pool filled with bricks.
silently wondered what he was thinking, she didn't want to ask though..
wasn't sure if he'd answer if she asked. He ran his thumb over her lower side lightly, not thinking about much in particular as he enjoyed
the moment.
shiver trying not to laugh, that tickled!
noticed that and did it a bit more, teasing his fingers over her skin.
twitches away from his fingers giving a small giggle.
lowers his hand to attack her other side as well, trying his best not to grin.
shifts in his grip gasping and giggling slightly. "N-nej..! A-ah..!" She tried not to laugh.
Sweden
was
unrelenting laughing quietly to himself as she wiggled in his grasp.
pulls away from him a bit too hard and fell backward onto the deck and onto her butt.
tried not to laugh as he knelt down to help her up. "Y' 'kay?"
nods to him, she took his hand. "Th't h'rt." She was talking about falling on her butt from standing.
"Y' sh'ld b' m're c'ref'l." He nodded.
nods but pouts to him. "Th'n y' sh'uldn't t'ckle me.." She covered the pout by looking away quickly.
frowned. "B't y're c'te wh'n y' g'ggle."
flushes quietly. "Uh.. B'rw'ld.."
"S'rry." He mumbled sheepishly, looking back out at the water. He hadn't even realized he said it until she mentioned something.
shakes her head. "Nej.. I j'st h've a q'esti'n.."
looked at her curiously. "Hm?"
plays with her hair a bit aimlessly, this was a small wonder in the back of her mind. "Do y'.. l'ke me..?"
froze, his face flushing lightly. "I… uh… 'f c'rse ' l'ke y'. Y're m' c'nt'rp'rt." He knew that wasn't what she was asking, but he wasn't
sure how else to answer it and felt extremely awkward.
nods slightly, though that wasn't what she had meant. "A-ah.."
"I…" He mumbled, reaching up to play with his hair and look at anywhere but her. "D' y'?"
flushes a bit as he asked that, she was sure that was what the feeling in the bit of her stomach was. "Ah.. I.. um.. ja.." Her voice seemed_
to get quieter as she spoke.
"O… oh." He gulped nervously. His chest felt both heavy and elated, and he could feel his heart pounding in his ears.
bites her lip and looks away from him, she wasn't sure if she should lie and say she was joking or not..
"Y'... uh... r'lly?" He had no idea how to respond. Part of him thought that she had to be joking, but would he have joked about that?
bites her lip still, she sat still for a second before nodding, her stomach felt like it was in knots.
"Ah…m' t'." He mumbled nearly incoherently as he shifted and glanced at her through the corner's of his eyes.
looked at him, she flushed, she had understood him. "R-re'lly..?"
nodded slowly, saying nothing.
shifts a bit and moves leaning into him, she wanted to hide her face.
took a shaky breath and wrapped his arms around her again. He hoped that she couldn't feel how rapidly his heart was beating.
could feel it, her's was beating pretty much the same, she exhaled a shaky breath. She didn't know if she should say anything.
tangled his hands in to her hair and said nothing.
didn't know what to say so she just stayed silent and leaned her head on him.
pulled her tightly against his chest, sighing quietly.
reaches out and wraps her arms around him, she was happy.
smiled when he felt her arms around him. He took a nervous breath before kissing the side of her head.
flushes a bit looking up at him and kissing his cheek lightly.
closed his eyes and flushed at the kiss.
leans her head against his neck.
slid his hand over her back.
shivers and arches her back into him, letting out another shuttered breath.
wasn't sure how to respond to that. He traced small shapes over her skin, relishing in the tingle that passed through his fingers.
twitches and arches her back more. "A-ah.." She loved how that felt.
"D'… Y're b't'ful." He whispered quietly.
flushes a bit giving a small kiss to his neck. "Y' h've t'ld me.."
gasped when she kissed his neck. "Ah… Ja…"
thought the gasp was cute so she kissed his neck again.
shivered and shakily breathed in. "A... w- wh't...'re y'... doin'?"
shakes her head speaking against his neck. "N'thin.."
"O- Oh..." He nodded stiffly.
wanted to make him gasp again, so she kissed his neck before nuzzling into him ever so slightly.
tightened his hold on her and gasped quietly.
shifts closer to him. "Y' m'ke a c'te g'sp."
flushed darker. "Nej... I d'n't." He grumbled self consciously.
nods to him with a small smile. "Ja." She sighed and kept her head where it was completely contented.
felt entirely flustered and at a loss of what else to do, so he said nothing and resumed rubbing her back. When in doubt pretend nothing
happened and hope for the best.
gasps a bit again when he brushed her lower back, she bit her lip flushing a bit.
"Y' m'ke a c'te g'sp." He smirked, tracing small shapes on her lower back with his fingers.
gasps shaking her head, and shifting under his touch. "N-nej.. I d'n't."
laughed quietly in to her hair and nodded. "Ja."
shakes her head. "Nej."
tickles her side very lightly. "Ja."
squeaks a bit and jumps almost into his lap. "D-d'n't do th't..!"
"Why?" He asks innocently, trying his hardest not to laugh.
flushes at how innocent he tried to sound. "T'ckles.." She flushed still.
thought that that was the point. "Wh't's wr'ng w'th th't?"
shakes her head, she didn't like being ticked. It made her flail too much. "D'n't l'ke it.."
"Wh' n't?" It was fun to watch her flail.
doesn't like to flail. "J'st d'n't.."
"Ah." He nodded. He gave up for now; they were, after-all, in public. But later… she was in for it.
Astrid
is
a nit scared for this 'later'.
Sweden
is
mentally planning his attack. He only hopes she doesn't get too upset with him for it.
had no idea what he was doing so she just shifted and leaned on him.
liked it when she leaned on him. "Y' st'll c'ld?"
nods a bit. "The b'k'ni isn't th't w'rm."
"Y' sh'ld ch'nge th'n." He said quietly. While he could appreciate how she looked in a bikini, he didn't like people like Russia seeing her_
in it, and he preferred her to be warm.
nods slightly. "Ja.." She didn't like all the looks, she wasn't used to that fully. "Too m'ny looks." She chuckled a bit.
nodded in agreement.
Astrid
wonders
why he nodded, he didn't know.. She also kept quiet about how Russia had kissed her head.
didn't need to know the extent. Russia was more than enough for him to be displeased with… and he'd rather not know that part.
doesn't want to tell him, she shifted between his legs and sat there.
wasn't sure how to respond to that, so he stared at her curiously.
looks up at him. "'S w'rmer h're.."
nodded in agreement; especially with the heavy snow that they were currently getting back home. He almost felt guilty escaping it.
felt slightly bad too, she wondered what state the house would be in when they got back.
didn't think it would be too bad. It had survived much worse in the past.
agrees but having to shovel that would be annoying.
would do the shoveling if she didn't want to.
would help, she lived there too, it was only fair.
would let her clean up inside instead. He secretly hated sweeping, and was more than willing to 'let' her do it.
Astrid
is
fine with cleaning inside then, though she wanted to do the garden in the spring.
would let her help him with the garden, or maybe let her have a small section for herself… he enjoyed gardening too much to leave it_
entirely to her.
Astrid
is
fine with that then.
rubbed his hand over her arm. "Y' sh'ld g't dr'ssed."
nods slightly. "Ja.." She didn't want to move though.
didn't want her to move either. He found their current position to be extremely nice.
Astrid
likes
it too, so she made no moves to get up.
rested his chin on her shoulder and sighed quietly. He wanted her to change and be warm… but he was happy that she hadn't moved.
Astrid
is
plenty warm where she was, he blocked the wind and was like a warm wall, she leaned her head against him lightly.
wrapped his arms tighter around her to help transfer his body heat to her.
nuzzles closer, she was nice and warm. "Mm.. I c'uld sle'p l'ke th's.."
wasn't sure why that made him feel so happy, but it did. "Ja." Though he didn't usually like to sleep sitting up, or in public.
| What she had meant was with his arms around her, it was warm and extremely comfortable.
rested his eyes and tried not to over think what was going on.
shuts her eyes, she hummed quietly, she didn't mean to make the noise though.
smiled as he played with her hair. "Y' sh'ld s'ng m're." She had a pretty voice from what he could tell.
shivered as he played with her hair. "Nej, I d'n't.."
nodded, not noticing the shiver. "Ja. Y've g't a pr'tty v'ce."
Astrid
wants
to shake her head but doesn't. "Mnmm. I d'dn't."
"Y' d'." He mumbled quietly.
just stays quiet, she knew this argument would go forever if she continued.
took that as a victory. He nearly jumped in surprise when he heard someone from the crew walking behind them. He looked up and flushed as
they passed by.
buries her head flushing as she heard the crew. "U-um.."
"S'rry." He mumbled awkwardly, suddenly feeling much more self conscious.
shakes her head. "Y' d'n't ne'd to say s'rry.."
nodded, not removing his hands from her, but feeling extremely worried about who might see them and what they may think.
doesn't know what people would think about them, but she frowned as his hands came away.
ruffled his hair and coughed while looking away.
looks at the deck shifting a bit. "i g'ess.. I sh'uld go ch'nge.."
"Ah." He nodded, feeling disappointed. "Ja..."
didn't move to fast, she didn't want to go.
had the strange wish that they were in the privacy of their home rather than on the cruise surrounded by other nations. He kept one of his_
hands tangled in her hair, reluctant to let go.
stays where she was, she liked feeling his hands on her even if it was just in her hair, she wanted to be home as well. She did something a_
bit bold after looking around and realizing they were alone.. She moved herself up a bit and kissed his lips lightly.
froze. His entire body felt like it was on fire, and he probably looked bright red. Every thought in his mind disappeared as he tried to_
comprehend what she did. Astrid… kiss… him… It didn't connect or make any sense!
pulls away from him, her cheeks had heated up, she was sure she was red everywhere. "S-s'rry..!"
"A- A... 's… okay…" He whispered so quietly he wouldn't have been surprised if she hadn't heard it. "D'dn't… m'nd."
flushes still. "Y-y'.. D'n't..?"
tried to catch his breath as he slowly shook his head, not trusting his voice at that moment.
nods a bit. She looked at the deck, was she ever nervous after that.
's eyes trepidatiously looked at her lips before he took a shaky breath and leant forward to kiss her back as lightly as he could.
freezes feeling his lips press her, she lightly kissed him back.
told himself not to panic as they kissed. He wrapped his other arm back around her and rested his hands on her back.
slips her arms around his neck, she was in a bit of shock but didn't stop kissing him.
pulled back after a moment and rested his forehead against hers as he tried to steady his breathing.
breathes quickly from embarrassment. "W-wow.."
tried not to look too effected by the kiss despite his flushed cheeks and shortness of breath. "I… S'rry."
shakes her head. "Nej. 'S f'ne. I l'ked it." Her lips tingled from their kiss.
nodded, feeling as though his chest felt like it might explode at any given moment. "Y'… Y' d'd?"
nods to him, she bit her lip trying to keep the tingling sensation as it faded. "J-ja."
couldn't help but smile. "I– M' too."
smiles a bit at this. "'M gl'd.."
lifted one of his hands from her back to feel her face, trailing down to rest it on her neck. He couldn't believe what was happening.
watches him shivering at his touch, she couldn't believe this either.
drew circles with his thumb on her neck. He wished even more that they were at home so that they could stay like that forever without
fear of interruption or being caught.
Astrid
wonders
what they would look like to some random passers-by, sibling lovers maybe? She sighed and shivered at the touches.
would rather not look like incestuous lovers, even if everyone on the boat was a nation that had probably done worse with their counter-
part. It made him self conscious.
Astrid
thinks
that's true, but she knew the crew members weren't nations. She was a bit self conscious about that as well.
figured that with the crew they could just say that all Swedish people looked the same and get away with it… He was more concerned with the_
other nations talking(gossiping) about it.
doesn't think the other nations would gossip about them, she was sure a few counterparts had slept together. Which was more then they had.
supposed that was true… but they didn't do it in public, or at least he hoped that they didn't.
wouldn't be surprised if the Frances did, honestly.
wouldn't be surprised either. There was a reason he never visited there.
never visited there either, they were slightly unnerving in their actions.
still worried about what everyone would say if anyone saw them. They weren't exactly known for being the most… affectionate nation.
Astrid
thinks
that that was true, but she didn't know what the others would think, she tried to not worry about that..
Sweden
was
trying, and failing, to not worry about it. Yet even as his mind raced with fear of being caught his body refused to move.
's did the same, she wouldn't move, she enjoyed this too much. There was also a slight thrill of being caught.
didn't know if 'thrilling' was the term he would use so much as 'crippling anxiety'… but he didn't want to move for fear of ruining the_
moment or realizing that it had all been a dream, or worse, a joke of some sort at his expense.
Astrid
is
trying to forget the anxiety, and she would never pull that kind of joke on him or anyone.
knew that, and trusted her. Unfortunately, his mind was a dark place filled with a great deal of self-doubt and cynicism.
knows how that feels, she closed her eyes, she had the same fearful thoughts, what if this WAS some cruel joke?
sincerely hoped that it wasn't. He hugged her tighter as though it would make his fears go away… It didn't help much, but it did fill him_
with a giddy sensation.
leans closer, she felt happy, the thoughts didn't go but her mind froze slightly.
battled internally over what to do before giving in to temptation and pressing his lips against hers again. Every part of his mind screamed_
to abort it, that it was nothing but a bad idea… but every other part of him wanted nothing more.
stop. Completely. She started to kiss him back, her mind now being muted over her heart's pounding.
cupped the back of her neck with his hand and pressed in to the kiss while holding her closer.
slips her arms around his neck, she pressed herself closer to him.
smiled in to the kiss when she wrapped her arms around his neck. He slid his hand lower down her back and rested it on her waist.
tensed feeling his hands move, but she didn't stop him at all, she just let her arms stay around his neck her fingers playing with his hair.
felt her tense and worried that she was uncomfortable with it, so he pulled his hand back a bit so that he wasn't touching her and broke_
the kiss. "S'rry." He apologized breathlessly, hoping that she wouldn't be too upset with him or that he hadn't crossed any boundaries.
breathes quickly, why did he pull away, she didn't say anything and pressed herself closer kissing him again.
gasped quietly in surprise. "I... y'..." He muffled in to the kiss before giving up and returning his hand to her waist.
Astrid
is
glad, she liked his hands on her waist.
would like to know that; He was afraid of being too invasive or rude. He hadn't had much physical contact with women before and he didn't_
want to upset her, or seem perverted.
would never think the other perverted, and she would tell him if he was going to far.
smoothed his fingers over the skin of her back, loving the feeling of how smooth it was.
shivers and shifts she liked that feeling a lot.
liked the feeling a lot, too! It made him feel warm inside, almost like vodka only nicer.
would agree if she knew he used that analogy, that was very true.
pulled back after a while had passed but kept drawing shapes on her back with his fingers. His overactive mind refused to rest. "I… Wh't're_
… w' doin'?" He whispered shakily, feeling nervous and fearful of asking it…
pulls back biting her lip. "w're.. Uh.." She flushed. "K-k'ssin..." She looked away nervously.
"Ah…" He nodded and gulped. He had known that much, but he didn't understand why she would be kissing him.
already told him that she liked him, she thought that was reason enough..
Sweden
was
like an insecure teenager when it came to emotions and always feared the worst.
did as well. "Are y' alr'ght?"
nodded slowly and gave her a tight squeeze. "'m j'st… s'rpris'd an' c'nfus'd." He admitted quietly.
nods slightly. "Ah... So 'm I.."
looked at her with slight surprise. "Why're y'?" He didn't see what she had to be surprised or confused about; she probably got men_
(and women) constantly throwing themselves at her.
doesn't have people throw themselves at her all the time, from behind people liked her, but her face was scary. "Ca'se I 'm...?"
thought her face was beautiful… though he felt weird saying that since they looked very similar.
would blush if she heard that, though it would be a bit odd. "Ah..." She shifted, she knew on some level it wasn't right..
felt more confused because he didn't know if it was right *or* wrong. This wasn't something he'd ever had to worry about before, and he_
wasn't sure what to make of it. She was his counterpart, but they weren't the same person, or related…
Astrid
thinks
that there couldn't be that much wrong with it if they weren't related... And if they were the same person, then it wouldn't be that wrong_
either? Wouldn't that be like... Selfcest...?
isn't very familiar with the idea. He hasn't had many chances to worry about getting caught making out with himself in the past.
isn't either. She had never met herself before either, let alone thought she would ever kiss herself.
supposed that he shouldn't worry about it much since the other nations had probably done it, too.
would agree with that, it seemed logical enough to her.
if everyone else did it… then they should be safe from being ridiculed for it… and it couldn't be *that* bad.
agrees with this.. How bad could it be? They couldn't get ridiculed for it at all.
Sweden
thinks
that if they were ridiculed, it would probably be by someone who didn't matter anyway. Like Denmark. And no one listens to Denmark.
would expect nothing less from the idiot, so that really didn't matter to her.
Sweden
wonders
if he should try to kiss her more… now that he's rationalized that it probably isn't that bad, and she hasn't run away screaming.
wouldn't run away screaming, from anything, let alone someone as nice as him.
Sweden
has
made his roommate pass out multiple times already… it's not a new fear of his.
Astrid
has
terrified her roommate as well, and had been hit on by him -a bit odd- She knew exactly how he felt.
Sweden
thinks
that at least she got hit on… his roommate tried to cover his head with a paper bag.
Astrid
thinks
that's just rude, and she only assumes she got hit on for her body, he almost cried seeing her face. Strange Italian..
doesn't think he can appreciate beauty… though she did have a very nice body.
would flush if she knew he thought that, she didn't mind though, she was used to people being scared of her face.
touched her face gently with a small smile. "Y're beaut'f'l."
blushes brightly when he touched her. "A-ah.." She swore her knees went weak when he said that. "T-tack.."
kissed her nose lightly and rubbed his thumb over her cheek. She really could be stunning sometimes.
flushes still smiling at the kiss and the hand on her cheek.
pulled back but continued rubbing her cheek. He felt like he could stare at her smile forever. Part of him wished that she would smile more_
while another part of him liked that she didn't smile often because it made it feel much more special when she did.
smiles a bit still, she was so pleased about how he was acting, she couldn't stop flushing though.
felt a little bit silly for it, but it was true… and he enjoyed seeing her blush whenever he complimented her.
still felt funny blushing like this, though she didn't mind, who, was making her blush.
Sweden
is
glad she didn't mind it… since he had no intention of stopping.
assumed that anyways, so she would let him do whatever he wished to her.
is… probably one of the safest people to say that to since the worst he would do is private humiliation.
Astrid
is
glad with that then, she was happy she was safe with him.
would hope that she could feel safe with him.
could never feel unsafe with him.
Sweden
is
happy with that, and spending time with her.
Astrid
loves
to spend time with him, so she was happy he was happy.
Sweden
wonders
if she might want to spend more time together… like this… after the cruise…
would love to.
would like that a lot.
Astrid
is
glad then.
