passes Roderich's home on the way to the grocery store, slowing down slightly as he hears the music.

continues to play one of his favourite pieces, his eyes were shut and he was smiling to himself.

stops on the sidewalk, figuring that taking a moment to listen shouldn't hurt.

continues to play Nocturne in E flat major, he didn't know the other was listening.

listens before realizing Roderich would be the one playing. "What am I doing?" he almost yells to himself.

jumps when he hears someone yell, he stopped playing and stood up. "Did I just hear Vash..?"

notices that the music has stopped. He turns red, realizing that Roderich must have heard him.

goes to the window and looks out noticing the other on the sidewalk. "Oh.. Hell Vash.

"

replies, flustered, "W-what are you doing here?"

blinks and stares at him. "... I live here." He didn't know what had gotten into the other.

realizes what he had just asked. "Oh, of course you do." He turns to begin walking to the grocery store again.

covers his mouth to cover a smile. "Where are you headed?

"

answers without even thinking, "I'm heading to the grocery store to get some things for dinner."

nods slightly. "Oh." He fixed a stray hair. "I know you don't exactly like me, but would you mind company?"

replies with his back still to Roderich, "Sure, that's fine."

nods to him. "I'll be out in a moment." He shut his window and quickly went to the door opening it after grabbing his wallet keys and_

putting his shoes on.

stands outside waiting, wondering what he's gotten himself into.

walks up to the other, he would stay silent if the other wanted him to be.

attempts to start a conversation... sort of... "Did you even need anything at the store?"

nods to him. "Yes.. A few things. What are you going to get?"

replies, "You know, basic things. Milk, bread, other things."

nods to him, deciding to change the subject. "... Ah.. How is Liechtenstein?"

answers, but not in his usual 'overprotective big brother' way, "She's doing fine."

nods to him. "That's good then." He noticed he wasn't as hostile as normal.

realizes he killed the conversation. He decides to try again. "What were you practicing for earlier?"

raises an eyebrow. "Practicing?" He smiled slightly and shook his head. "I wasn't practicing for anything, I just love to play my piano."

feels slightly embarrassed. "Oh, well, I thought you may have had a concert or something coming up."

shakes his head. "Nein, it's rare that I do those, actually." He adjusted his glasses slightly on his nose.

answers, "I didn't know that."

nods to him. "Mhmm. I just play for myself, or others if they want to hear it."

replies without really thinking, "Even random strangers would listen to you if you offered concerts and other ways to play for them."

flushes a bit. "I... I don't think so, I'm not that good, really.."

continues on, "You're better than anyone I know at least. Doesn't that say anything?" He stops as he realizes what he said, blushing softly.

blushes more. "T-thank you, Vash. That means a lot." He didn't know the other thought he was that good.

stutters slightly, replying, "Well, I mean, your talent shouldn't go to waste." He wondered why he just said all that.

notices the stutter. "It doesn't, I play all the time." When he wasn't baking or being forced to exorcise by Gilbert.

doesn't know how to respond. "Oh, right," is all he can think to say.

nods to this. "Yes.. You know Vash, this is nice.. Us actually talking."

replies, "It's not like we never talk to each other," although he realizes that's exactly how it is.

him a look. "Vash.. We barely talk to each other.. Normally you act like you don't know me."

is faced with a loss of words. "Yes, but... you know..." He doesn't know how to really respond.

nods to him. "... Exactly."

blushes again before almost instantly looking away , hoping Roderich didn't notice.

notices the blush, but doesn't say anything to his better judgement.

knows he should apologize for the way he's treated Roderich, but he can't bring himself to. "Shouldn't we be there by now?" he asks.

looks up and nods slightly. "We... Should be..." He hoped they weren't lost.

looks around, realizing he doesn't recognize anything around them. "I... I don't know where we are..."

frowns quietly. "We're lost?" He frowns a bit. "I never thought I would get lost with you."

replies, "I can't help it you can't find your way around." He looks for a familiar landmark.

sighs quietly, he looked around as well. "It's just odd that you didn't pay attention, that's all."

continues looking. "It was just to the grocery store. I thought it would be simple enough."

nods to him. "Normally it was simple.." As of late, he would send Gilbert shopping, less getting lost.

sighs. "Well, I guess we should just walk around until we find something familiar."

nods to him. "Mhmm.. We should find something... Soon.."

turns to walk to what he thinks is a familiar bakery in the area. "Let's try this way."

nods to this. "Alright, hopefully we will find something."
