lies staring at the Dane beside him, which he'd been doing since he woke up a while ago. He tried to figure out what it meant,_
if anything at all.
just continued to sleep on peacefully, and breathing softly.
studied him for a bit. He reached a hand up in his hair, brushing through it gently.
shifted slightly at that before nuzzling into the others neck a bit.
tenses, but relaxed shortly after. He rested his hand in the others hair, thumb brushing absently.
smiles faintly. "Mmm... feels good..." He mumbled.
hadn't been aware he was awake. He stopped the motion a bit, before continuing on with it. "God morgen.." he whispered.
smirks and opens his eyes sleepily to look at the other. "God morgen..."
looked back at him, fingers curling softly in his hair. "Slept well ?"
nods as he yawned. "Ja... like a king."
curled his legs up a bit. "That's good.."
sprawls out on the bed and stretches. "How 'bout ye?"
slowly took his hand back at that. "Better than I thought I would."
nods. "Mhmm... that's good~"
looks at him... "I didn't expect to see you here, though.." He said quietly.
smirks and nods. "Jaaa... I couldn't sleep well last night. So I came here."
smiles slightly at that.
smirks at him. "I always sleep better around ye."
props himself up on his elbows, looking over at him and nods. "Ja... Y'don't kick around so much then."
chuckles. "At least that time." He looked up to the ceiling. "I still wake up with bruises from hittin' my night table."
(( BBL, got training~ ))
((Have fun~! ))
sort of wondered why he didn't just move the night table, but he didn't ask. "Y'really sleep that bad ?"
nods. "Ja. It's almost impossible for me to stay still when I'm alone."
sits up, lazily stretching his arms. "Perhaps y'should find somewhere else to sleep then."
shakes his head. "Tried. No matter where I am, or what I'm on, I just can't stay stil."
rolls his eyes slightly. "I meant with someone."
shrugs and looks at him. "Who would wanna sleep with me, besides some drunk human?"
sat still for a little while before looking over at him. "I didn't mean it that way. 'n not just someone."
sighs. "Regardless. Findin' anyone to sleep with is a pain."
"Maybe you're just not lookin' in the right places." He moved to get out of the bed, having to crawl over the other to do so.
hums and stopped him before he could get out of the bed. He just wrapped his arms around him and held him close.
twitched a moment out of instinct before realizing what had happened. He relaxed, leaning into the embrace.
hums. "Maybe I'll just sleep with ye."
blushes up to his ears at his words, though his voice remains steady. "Maybe you will.."
smirks. "I'd get good sleep. Ye're like, the best bed buddy." He wiggled and hugged the other.
((Jesus Christ xD ))
(( 8D ))
nods. "Fine, but if you start kickin' me out of bed in your sleep, you'll be sleepin' on the floor." He rests his hands on the others arms.
chuckles. "We'll see. I doubt ye'd do somethin' like force me on the floor." He hugged the other a bit tighter before letting go of him.
((And I'm off for the night. So early. >~< Niiiight~ ))
((Natta~ It's been a bit late the last nights anyway =w= ))
shrugs. "Depends." He got up now and walked over to his clothes, pulling his pants on.
smirks as he sat up and cracked his back as he stretched again before getting up and heading to his room.
zipped his pants and straightened his shirt before wandering out in the hallway.
just put some pants on, not bothering with a shirt. He was a little warm anyways. He made his way to the kitchen after, yawning still.
follows him most of the way, but stops when he sees the leftover danishes in the living-room. He went and brought the plate to the kitchen.
had forgotten about them. He just got to the table and sat in a chair, sprawling over the table as he yawned some more.
placed them in front of him, leaning a bit on the table. "Coffee ?"
nods. "Ja... Please..."
finds two mugs before starting to make the coffee.
just closes his eyes and buries his face as much as he could against the table.
leans against the counter while he waits for the coffee to be done. He frowns at him. "I thought you said you'd slept well."
nods. "Just because I slept well doesn't mean I'm a mornin' person..."
just shrugs, tapping the counter absently and looks out the window.
yawns loudly and stretches across the table.
snorts quietly. He couldn't help but be reminded of a cat. He pours the coffee in the mugs and sits down at the table, handing him one.
takes it. "Oh thank Odin." He took some sugar from the table and seemed to just keep pouring it in.
watched him do that for a while. "One day your teeth'll rot, and I'll sit back and laugh." He said, sipping his coffee.
rolls his eyes. "That'd never happen." He sipped his coffee and smiled before leaning back in his chair.
taps his mug with a finger. "Just you watch."
rolls his eyes and sipped more coffee, instantly feeling more awake.
took one of the cold danishes and nibbled on it, drinking coffee in between bites.
hums. "Ye wanna do anythin' special today?"
takes a long sip, thinking. "Hmm... Maybe we could find you a violin."
smiles widely at that. "JA! Ye can start teachin' me!"
nods, finishing the pastry. "That's what I was thinkin'."
wiggles a bit, excited now.
sips some coffee. "So d'you know somewhere that sells instruments nearby?"
nods. "Ja, I know a small shop kinda down the street."
nods, putting the mug down as he'd drank all his coffee.
d0wned the rest of his coffee. "Lemme put a shirt on. Then we can go."
"You do that." He got up and carried the plate and mugs over to the counters, putting the danishes in the fridge.
hums as he got up and went upstairs to put a shirt on. He came down a bit later when he was ready.
had washed the mugs and dried them. He stood waiting by the front door.
smiles as he got his coat on. "Tak for the dishes."
shrugs, "'s nothin'. Let's go."
nods and walks out, eager to get himself a violin now.
follows with his hands in his pockets, lightly kicking the door shut.
hummed happily as he walked. He had a wonderful night.
smiles slightly before he catches up with him, looking up at the clear skies.
thought today was a pretty good start to the day... And he figured it would only get better.
smiles softly at that. He looked over to him. "Hmm.. So d'you have any knowledge of how to play at all ?"
shakes his head. "I just knew ye gotta move a stick over strings."
snorts. "It's a start, I guess."
nods. "And that ye can't press too hard I guess.."
nods. "See, already know somethin'. An' don't do that, it'll snap."
nods. He wouldn't want to do that...
thought that was a step in the right direction. "So where is this shop?"
hums. "Uh... I think just down here." He walked a bit longer before walking into a store. There were string instruments, so that was a plus.
went over to ask the woman behind the counter about their violins in Norwegian.
stood behind him, not having any idea what to look for.
"Takk." he said to her, before walking over to a row of violins she'd pointed to. "Hei Dan, pick one."
blinks and looks at them. "So many things to choose from..." He didn't know what he wanted.
shrugs. "They're all fit for beginners. Just pick the one you like best."
nods and looks at them closely... deciding to pick one with a darker finish. It looked the most elegant.
looks at it. "Good choice."
smiles to him. "Ja ja?" He was excited to start now.
raises an eyebrow, smiling a bit. "Jaa.. Now you got to buy it." He nodded towards the woman behind the counter.
nods and eagerly goes to pay for it. He couldn't take his eyes off it now. It was almost childish at how excited he was.
watches him amused.
wiggles as he got his violin handed to him in the case and held it close. "Mine~"
smiles slightly, putting his hands back in his pockets.
walked out, thanking the lady and turns a few times as he got outside.
followed him out and couldn't help but chuckle. "You really wanted this, didn't you?"
nods. "Ja! This gives me somethin' to do when I'm bored~ And when I get good I can play with ye!"
rocks a bit back and forth on his feet. "Sounds good."
takes his hand and starts heading to Norge's house. "Let's get started!"
blinks. He hesitates slightly before returning the hold on the others hand, nodding, "Ja."
wanted to start right away... And he meant right away.
Figured it'd be better to start inside in any case.
got to the others house and smiled more. "Hurry hurry hurry hurry~"
"Ja, ja." He gets his keys from his pocket and unlocks the door, lettin the other in first I'm fear of being run down.
runs in and looks around. "Where should we go to practice? Huh huh?"
((in* not I'm ))
kicks off his shoes and shuts the door. "Doesn't matter, but let's keep in the living-room."
nods and runs to the living room, sitting on the couch and opening the case, smiling at the violin.
leans on the couch, looking over. "D'you know how to hold the bow?"
shakes his head as he looked up at the other.
"It's easy, just pick it up at this end with your fingertips." He pointed to the right end.
nods and does so, looking it over first before holding it.
"Now the violin. Y'hold 'round it at it's neck."
nods and places it as such, a little awkwardly at first but got it a bit after.
nods. "Good.. Now let me tighten the hair.." He reached over and turned on the bow screw.
nods and watches him closely.
"The gap between the hair 'n bow should be big 'nough to pass a pencil through. You loosen it after you've played by turnin' the screw_
counter-clockwise."
nods a few times. He was glad the other was here to show him...
leans over a bit more to look in the case. "Ah, pick up that little bag there, y'need the stone inside it."
blinks and looks over before picking it up. "This?" He just looked at it.
nods. "Ja. The first times you play you have to glide that over the hairs a few times, or it won't make a sound."
nods. "I... see..." He had no idea about these things.
snorts. "Look, take the stone out. Then you run it up and down the strings, or the hair, of the bow about three times."
nods and carefully does so. Almost a little too carefully.
looks over. "Dan.. it needs to touch the strings at least."
pouts a bit but does so, being... very careful still.
blinks.. "Ah, okay. That'd be enough. Put that away and then y'can run the bow over the violin."
nods and puts the stone down, and places the bow carefully over the strings. "Like this...?"
"Ja, good. Now just run it over. It won't sound nice at first. It's more for practice."
nods and tries it, shivering a bit from the sound it made. "Bleck."
casually climbs over the back of the couch and sits beside him. "Ja. Now to actually playin'."
nods and looks at him. "Kay. What do I do."
looks over. "Put the butt end of the violin against your collar bone, and then rest your jaw on the black pad."
nods and does so, and lightly holds the bow over the violin... sloooowly bringing the bow across the strings.
watches him. "..For the best sound the bow should stroke over the strings at the middle of the start of the neck 'n the butt end."
nods and takes another breath before trying it, starting to get the hang of this.
chuckled slightly at how unaturally consentrated he was. "You're doin' good."
smiles a bit. "Ja?" He found this all weird to him. But he was dedicated now.
nods. "Ja. Hm, now you can switch between runnin' the bow over fully 'n partly just to get used to it."
does that, shivering a bit at the awkward sounds it was making.
leans back on the couch a bit. "It'll sound better once you learn the notes 'n such."
nods. "When can I learn the notes?"
... "Patience."
frowns. "But I wanna learn 'em now."
sighs and sits up properly. "Fine."
smiles and wiggles. "Okay okay okay. Now what?"
"This is what's called a scale. 's a series of notes that you play at once." He showed him where to place his fingers for the first scale.
nods a bit. "Kay..." He awkwardly put his hands on the strings, biting his tongue a bit in concentration.
"Nei, look." He reached over and helped him replace his fingers properly. "Y'need to keep the strings down in place while you play."
frowns a bit and nods, finding this harder than he thought.
"Nothin' is as easy as it looks.. But now you can play the first scale." He gestured for him to try it.
nods and slooowly plays it, making sure his fingers were in the right spots.
smiles slightly at the actual musical sound he was making.
smiles too. Once he was done he flailed a bit. "I played a scale~!"
nods. "You did."
wiggles happily at that. "Now what?"
shrugs. "I could teach you the other basic scales if you want to."
smiles and nods. "Ja ja ja!"
"'s best to stand if you're goin' to play much."
nods and gets up. "Okay. What do I gotta do now?"
stands up beside him. He pointed out where to now place his fingers for the next scale.
carefully did so and played it slowly.
nods. "Good.. Do you still remember the first one ?"
nods, and tried that again, hesitating a few times but getting it.
