set down two large bags filled with presents on the doorsteps as he reached up to knock on Soren's door. He hadn't realized that anyone but_
Soren and Dorthe were there, it was just the first place he stopped to drop off gifts.
flails as he ran to the door, opening it. "... Sve!" He smiled and hugged him. Actually hugged him. Like, legit.
nearly chuckled to himself as he hugged back, albeit a bit less enthusiastically. "Brought y' s'me pres'nts." Christmas may have secretly_
been one of his favorite holidays, as was suggested by the overflowing bags at his feet.
laughs and nods as he hugged him tighter before pulling away. "I can tell~" He grabbed some and walked in. "Come in!"
grabbed the other bag and followed him in, slipping his shoes off as he shut the door. The house smelled strongly of baked goods... Not_
that he would complain about that; he liked them as much as Soren did.
adds the gifts to the already overflowing living room. "So, ye're stain' for dinner, ja ja?"
"Ah." He shrugged, setting the bag down as he eyed the stack that seemed to have taken over the living room. "Nor' an' Ice comin'?"
frowns a bit before smiling at him. "Nej... but that's okay."
looked back at the presents warily. "Ah..." He debated asking who was there, but didn't want to be rude, so he started taking off his scarf_
and gloves instead.
smiles as he looked back at him. He... actually had really missed him. And was really happy that he came. He didn't think anyone from his
family would have shown up...
hadn't wanted to spend the holiday alone, and since he was currently ignoring Tino's existence that left his options somewhat limited... He_
may have missed Soren a bit as well, though. Not that he would say so verbally. He pulled his coat off and made his way towards a closet.
hums as he went to the kitchen. "Do ye want some hot cocoa?"
"Ja, tack." He hummed quietly as he searched for a hanger to hang his jacket on. The closet seemed a bit more full than the last time he'd_
been there.
smiles and happily makes some. "Oh, also, watch out around the house."
walked in to the kitchen with a perplexed expression. "Eh?"
smirks. "I've hid mistletoe everywhere."
frowned at that. It was nice to see Soren still hadn't matured.
... liked the look of mistletoe! "I just dun think Ice would like it. Or Norge. Or Dorthe."
paused, staring at him. Hadn't Soren said that Norge and Iceland weren't there? "Thought y' said they weren't here..."
blinks at him. "Oh. Right. The male ones aren't. But Dorthe, Thora, Gjertrud and Astrid are here." He smiled at him.
"Ah..." He suddenly felt much more awkward about staying there for dinner. He didn't particularly like meeting new people, and this whole_
female counterpart thing was still quite a bit strange to him.
thinks he could stay around him then. He had to cook and bake still. "What can I say? I'm a chick magnet." He chuckled as he handed him his
cocoa.
scoffed and took the drink. "'M sure."
made one for himself and sipped it. He was beyond happy at this rate. "Tak... for comin'..."
shrugged. "Eh." He didn't really see anything surprising about it. As much as they fought, they were still brothers, and he couldn't skip_
Christmas together.
sips more cocoa. "Are ye gonna stay over...?"
shrugged. "Do y' want m' to?" He hadn't made any plans for the holiday since he usually spent it with Tino.
smiles and nods. "Ja. It'd be nice to open up yer gifts with the family. Well, with the others at least."
nodded, sipping at the cocoa. It was a comforting, familiar taste. "Alright."
wiggles with glee~ "Awesome! This'll be the best."
chuckled quietly; he enjoyed how easy it was to please the Dane.
just liked being around family during certain holidays. He thought he'd be alone, and it secretly bothered him.
secretly doesn't like being alone very much either, so he was much happier at spending it with Soren than he'd let on.
could use his help in preparing the table and stuff... He knew Berwald must have been good at that.
... might not be horrible at things like that...
would appreciate if he did it then. And hoped he'd not make a fuss that Astrid might be helping out too at times with things...
didn't mind; he'd brought a few gifts for her even.
wonders if they were on good terms or not...
hadn't spoken to her in months...
thinks now would be a good time to get on good terms with her again then. It was Christmas after all.
wouldn't be opposed to it... he just hoped it wasn't too awkward...
could help the awkwardness maybe.
doesn't really think Soren would help much... if anything it would probably make it worse.
is awesome at helping!
somehow doesn't believe that one bit.
pouts. But goes back to doing things.
