sat next to him and ordered a pint of the house draft, not saying anything to him just yet.

was too busy having a staring contest with the melting ice at the bottom of his glass that had held his unknown-numbered shot of vodka to_

notice the other man.

waited till he got his drink before he turned to look at him, watching quietly. "So what drove you to drown yourself in vodka?"

blinked and looked up, squinting his eyes slightly as he slowly recognized the other man. All he had heard was 'vodka.' "Hm?"

stared at him for a long moment, he must really be far gone. "Hmm... let me take a guess... Denmark made you drink?"

laughed darkly and shook his head. If only it had been Denmark; that could have been solved with a few punches and beer. "Nej..." He felt_

kind of stupid being so torn up over something like this, so he tried to focus instead on the tingling that had taken over his body. The_

room wasn't quite spinning yet, but he felt delightfully numb.

thought about that, his eyes still watching him curiously. He hadn't seen the other nation in a while. "Huh... it couldn't have been

Finland."

let out what would have been a quiet scoff had he been sober, but thanks to the alcohol removing a bit of his tact it came out as a dry_

bark of a laugh.

stared. He had never seen this man like this... granted he didn't see him much. "Well... if you two fight like this then I guess there

really is no hope for me." He had been about to add Greece to that sentence but caught himself last second.

huffed, grabbing his glass of water and taking a quick drink. "Don't norm'lly fight." He couldn't actually remember the last time they had_

gotten in to a serious fight, which was maybe what had made this one feel so bad.

nodded a bit, "I know... I mean I've never seen the two of you angry at each other. Actually always took you to be the perfect couple."

blinked, surprised at that. It really wasn't making him feel any better. He shook his head, debating ordering another drink, though he_

drank the water instead. The last thing he wanted was a hangover in the morning. "'E pr'fers Russ'a."

blinked at that confession before he bust out laughing, it took him a couple of seconds before he could take a sip of his drink. "Are you

sure he meant that?"

scowled at him. "Yes." He said in a deadpan tone; it was hardly something that they joked about.

raised a brow at that as he looked over at him. "I doubt that. The only people who would prefer Russia are Belarus and China and China is

debatable."

would have laughed in other circumstances, but instead he grumbled darkly under his breath and shook his head. He doubted Turkey knew of_

what their past had been like, and he wasn't exactly eager to share it. "Left me f'r Russ'a b'fore... sh'ldn't be ' s'rprise..."

didn't know much about it, he had never really had a need to know. "Didn't Russia take him from you? At least that's normally how it

happens with Russia."

shrugged. Take, go willingly. Same difference, really. "Finl'nd want'd t' go."

sighed a bit at that, "ah well... I'm not sure I blame him, see I've never been in the position where I was the one being taken. I always

did the taking, up until England came along anyway but that's beside point. If I wanted someone, I took them. Like Egypt and Greece."

nodded in agreement. The only time he'd really been beneath anyone it had been Denmark, and that was voluntary; at the beginning at least._

Though, unfortunately, Tino didn't seem to enjoy being taken very much. "T'no's not one t' l'ke bein' taken..." To put it lightly.

gave him a pointed look as he took another sip of his drink. "Have you tried taking him in a different sense so to speak? Not to be vulgar

or anything but... It worked for me." He thought back to Greece and grinned a bit, of the other man would smack him for that.

scowled at that; it was hardly the polite thing to do, and he wasn't going to force himself on someone that didn't even want him in the_

first place! "D'n't think that'd w'rk..."

raised his brow as he watched him, "I don't know... it worked for me... like I said." He shrugged a bit. "How do you know it wouldn't work?

I mean if you two are already fighting... it couldn't hurt to try."

huffed quietly as he finished his water and shook his head. He highly doubted that trying that would work at all, and even drunk he wasn't_

stupid enough to try. One of them would probably end up missing a limb or two, and he had a feeling it'd be him.

frowned as he looked up at him and nodded, "ah I see." He shrugged and took a long sip of his drink, "I see this."

"Fuck 'im." He grumbled darkly as he ordered another drink.
