went to drop off a few tulips at the Danes house. And leave a few special treats.
thought that was only for one Dane, not too.
two* ((I cant count.))
might have got talked to by the male Dane...
had no idea really and but she raised a brown when she saw him.
just walked over and held out a small bouquet of flowers and the box of treats.
raised her other brow before looking behind herself. " Hej. I'm guessing those are either for Sve or Soren or the both of them." She stated in a straight forward manner.
shrugs. "It's for your birthdays."
wasn't thinking about herself seeing how he hated her. " Ja I know. Soren's birthday is today and Sve's birthday is tomorrow. I pass this onto them when they're done whatever they're doing in the bedroom."
rolls his eyes as he headed off after. "Your birthday too."
looked at him weirdly, " What's that suppose to mean? It's not like there's any point or anyone to celebrate it with. All it does is remind me that I'm old and alone." She huffs clearly still at ends with him.
shook his head before stopping. "Then call Norway or somethin."
scowls, " You're a pretty shallow person if you think that. I've tried already and I don't have anyone." It had practically become tradition for her to spend time alone at a bar every year now.
sighs. "If I want to a bar with you would you stop sounding so sulky?"
pouts, " As long as your paying."
nods. "I wouldn't expect a Dane to."
tried hard not to break out in a smile since she couldn't refuse free beer, " Give me a moment then." She grabbed her keys and jacket before slipping on her shoes.
nodded as he waited outside, lighting up a smoke.
locked the door behind her as she caught up with him. She had tried to dress nicer for the day but that was as much as she was probably going to spoil herself.
went to find a semi-nice bar for them.
would have assumed he would have gone to a cheap one knowing his preferences. She didn't say anything about the matter since she really had no say in where they went to drink.
didn't always like to cheap out on things, and beer was one of those things. Even though it was more expensive here than back home. He got inside and went up to the counter.
stayed slightly behind him as she looked around at the place. She hadn't really been here much in the past.
went her often with the other Dane. He ordered a beer, telling the bartender that he'd pay for the both of them.
ordered a beer for herself after but she didn't know where to sit really.
thought they could just stay at the counter. Unless she wanted a booth.
guessed being at the booth would be less awkward for her.
headed over to one in the corner then, not wanting to be surrounded by people.
followed quietly, somewhat wondering why he was so nice. She just figured the Dane probably ranted and annoyed the other or something.
would buy her a free drink for guessing right, but he was paying regardless.
would have done the same to the other Netherlands so it wasn't a surprised to her. She stayed quiet and nursed her beer lazily while looking around from her spot once seated.
sipped his beer quietly as he looked around at the humans.
though it had a nice atmosphere and kept quiet to just listen. Sometimes, it wasn't the drinking that made her happy but the fact that other people celebrating made her happy instead.
thought that everyone seemed pretty happy today.
Dorthe
was
glad for that in all honesty. She kept a relaxed but content expression, smiling slightly that her people had been in good fortune lately.
Netherlands
was
glad she wasn't trying to make conversation. He had no idea what to talk about.
learned from the past that it was pointless to hold a conversation with him. She drank slowly ordering another beer once in a while after finishing another but at a good pace.
did pretty much the same, keeping up with her.
moved slightly once in a while, her mind elsewhere but she still acknowledged that he was there. She leaned against the seat, resting her arm on the table as she drank.
didn't find this too bad, actually.
hummed softly as she watched people interact and such. It was the one thing she didn't like to admit she enjoyed doing since she thought it seemed senile.
wouldn't know what to say about that.
figured as much so it was better not to say anything at all. She fixed her bangs once in a while to cover her eye better. It had become a habit for her now.
barely even remember what hurt anymore since he had learned to ignore it.
just thought it looked bad so she had to cover her eye without any clue of what it really looked like. She drank a bit more after a while, feeling a bit bored.
thought it looked fine...
thought it looked extremely bad so all she did was try to cover it up. She glanced at him once in a while.
Netherlands
was
mostly observing people and their habits.
stretched a bit and ordered something a little stronger now since she was in a good mood.
got himself a vodka.
seemed a bit surprised that he was drinking more so than usual.
drank a normal amount normally.
thought it was still odd from his usual abstinence.
had just become accustomed to drinking on this day.
guessed that was probably because he would be with the other Dane but judging from the sounds she heard in the house, Soren wasn't going to be free anytime soon.
didn't want to even think about it.
couldn't help mentioning it. It literally shook the goddamn house.
really didn't want to think about it. At all.
thought his reaction piqued her interest. She wondered if he didn't get any action at all.
didn't, but he didn't care. He just didn't like to think of his friend like that.
knew so seeing she was only curious.
just drank his vodka quietly.
got up after a while, tired of sitting down. " I'm going to the restroom."
nods, figuring she'd be fine on her own. If she needed help he'd just feel awkward.
Dorthe
was
fine as she could handle her liquor. She took her time walking there and back, staying away from most people as she was worried they'll be staring at her eye.
probably wouldn't do much unless they started harassing her.
thought things were okay until someone walked right into her blindside, blaming her for not looking.
continued to drink, not thinking it was a big eal.
*deal
((NO he's not a big eel Ned stop drinkin' so much))
didn't want to start a fight and so she went back to the booth, sitting down to drink again. It made her really conscious about herself seeing she was an easy target.
doubted anyone would try anything with the looks he gave.
...thought that was surprisingly nice for him to do that.
couldn't really help it. He just didn't want people near him either.
examined him briefly after a while, wondering if he was close to getting drunk if that was the case.
didn't know. He only really found out if he had to talk, or walk.
watched him for another little while, " How are you getting home later?"
shrugs. "I can probably walk."
raised a brow, " It's a far trip. If you're willing to, I'm sure Soren wouldn't mind you stay over the night in a guest room."
nods at that, finishing off his drink. "I might do that instead then."
shrugs and smiles, " It's up to you." She was in a content mood and didn't seem to be negative about him for the time being.
might do that then, since he didn't want to pass out half way home.
wondered how much did he drink. She was slowly starting to feel the effects but she could last a while before showing signs of getting tipsy.
Netherlands
was
great at not showing how intoxicated he was.
could tell. He drank roughly the same amount that she had already and that was quite the feat already.
Netherlands
was
used to keeping up with the male Dane.
thought she was better than the Dane in her opinion.
wondered if she had ever out drank him.
had no idea but she assumed she could.
some how doubted that.
could prove it now since they had nothing better to do.
didn't know if he liked that idea..
would note that he was staying at Soren's place and she would get him back in one piece. That was promise she wouldn't go back on.
guessed he could then. For the Danes birthday.
wondered how far to him getting drunk now.
didn't know. He felt a bit lighter, but that's all.
guess he wasn't there yet and ordered another round of drinks.
leaned back in his seat as he waited.
gestured to it coyly as it arrived. " Take your pick."
just grabbed what was closest and sipped it.
downed it delightfully, as she didn't skip a beat. She could probably drink the place clean.
didn't want her to get alcohol poisoning.
Dorthe
was
careful and she was a nation so it didn't matter to her.
continued to drink with her then.
figured he got the right idea then. She was careful really.
wondered how long they'd stay here...
had no idea. It was probably the first one who loses.
continued to drink without issue then.
hummed contently as she drank, finding it was only rare occasions she was willing to drink so much.
knew it was special, since it was her birthday after all. He guessed she'd have a better alcohol tolerance since all her people were drinking, or at least most.
had one that was comparable to Belgium's and Russia's. She was actually very tolerant of alcohol.
knew that... He couldn't keep up with the male Dane most times. He hated it.
finished her half with a content sigh as she looked over to him. " How are you faring?"
nods as he downed the rest. "Fine."
smirks as she decided to order something special...like absinthe.
wondered if that stuff was even legal here.
knew it was if she was ordering it here.
still thought it was a bit of a surprise.
guessed it was worth trying when the chance came up. It had the apparatus and all shenanigans of drinking it properly too.
doesn't remember if he had ever tried it..
pushed the prepared glass to him. " Its good but strong drink. Do you think you can handle it?"
nods as he picked it up. He swirled it around lightly before taking a sip.
smiled before taking her own glass, enjoying it slowly. There was a lot of hidden flavours and tastes in the drink once it was prepared the right way.
took a while to get used to all the flavours it had... it was good though.
finished hers with a content sigh. The only problem was that it was a very strong drink.
could already feel the effects of it after one sip. He downed the rest quickly though.
hummed again as the let all the alcohol she had settle in for a bit. Her cheeks were still a little tinged like before.
' cheeks were getting red now... though he didn't act very drunk.
smiles, seeing that as an indicator of her victory. " Do you think you can handle more?"
stared at the table, not knowing for sure...
stretched a bit as she sighed. " Guess we'll figure that out when we get back then. There's more beer there."
nodded a bit. "So that means we leave now?"
nods as she got up slowly and started to make her way to the door with almost no signs of being drunk.
did the same, though he had an obvious sway in his step. He at least stepped firmly.
smiles, slightly smug in nature. " You alright there? If you need me to support you I'm more than happy to."
huffs. "I'm perfectly capable and able to hold myself..."
laughs and nods, " Alright if you insist. Not my problem if you cock block yourself and avoid free physical contact with another woman."
rolled his eyes as he kept walking. "I'd avoid it either way."
lead the way, " So you don't like women?"
shrugs. "I do."
revises that statement. " So you just hate me then/"
shakes his head. "Nee."
glanced over to him, " What do you mean by that?" She chuckled, finding some amusement in how confusing he sounded.
shrugged as he swayed to the side and righted himself. "I mean what I mean by that."
stopped in her tracks as she was ahead and waited for him. " How so?"
slowly made his way to her. "How so what?"
shrugs, " So you do like me then?"
shrugs. "Sure."
looks at him in disbelief before cracking out in laughter. " Oh don't screw around with me and make a joke like that. It'll hurt my feelings." She chuckles, not believing him.
rolled his eyes, staggering to the side a bit. He wasn't going to repeat himself.
straightened him out since she didn't want him to crack his skull on the pavement.
swayed her away a bit. "I can handle myself..."
stood there, " Are you sure?" She asked out of genuine worry.
nods. He was used to being alone and taking care of himself.
walked ahead of him again as she figured there was nothing she could do to help him.
wouldn't need it. He just continued to sway from side to side as he walked.
turned a sharp corner as she wanted to get home and wear something comfy.
took a while to realise where she went before continuing to follow her.
weaved around as she tried to think of the shortest route. She wheeled another sharp turn and stopped right in front of the place.
again took some time to make the turn, as he wasn't quick, but he did.
waited for him by the door she had opened. " You're so slow."
huffs. "Nee. I'm fine. One of the fastest..."
laughs as she went into the house after, " Riiiight~"
stepped in, tripping a bit on the step but caught himself before he fell. "Ja."
rolls her eyes as she took his hand and lead the way upstairs. " I'll rather you fall on me than fall on the ground. And don't glare at me cause you'll end up tripping more for not paying attention."
huffs. "I'd rather fall on the floor. It's easier to get off of."
shrugs and brought him to the bedroom. " Whatever."
let go of her hand after and went to the bed, laying down on it.
raised a brow, " You're going to pass out already?"
shakes his head. "This is just stable. I know it doesn't move."
sits next to him in the bed, hovering over him after pulling her jacket off. " You still have some explaining to do about what you said earlier."
hums as he closed his eyes. "What explaining about earlier and why?"
looked down at him as she pursed her lips, " You're not the type to change your opinion so suddenly so what kind of bet did you lose against Soren or something?" She was skeptical about him liking her.
mumbled a bit. "What bet? I don't gamble... risk of money."
leaned a bit lower as she was getting tired and lazy of propping herself up. " Still doesn't make sense to me." She random idea came to her mind as she randomly kissed his cheek. " Do you still like me now?"
mumbles. "Fine."
raises a , " That's neither yes or no."
nods. "Mmmm."
kissed his nose after, " Then what about now?"
scrunched up his face. "Now, my nose is wet."
rolls her as she was got bored and kissed him after. " You complain too much."
made a face at that after. "Now my lips are wet."
stuck her tongue out at him after, seeing that it wasn't reciprocal meant he didn't like her. " Still complaining too much." She sat up, fixing her hair to cover her eye better again.
mumbled as he closed his eyes. "I never complain too much..."
snorts as she got up slowly, " You're complaining a lot now. I'm gonna get you some extra clothes to wear."
huffs. "I complain not!"
rolls her eye as she found some extra clothing for him in the dresser. " Ja you do. Now can you change by yourself or not?" She put the clothes next to him as she sat on the edge of the bed.
nodded. "If I wanted to, ja."
shrugs, " I'll take that as a no." She just started to change him herself.
nudged her away and sat up. "Nee. Don't. I can change.."
flicked his head lightly as she was practically almost done taking his shirt off and put on the new one for him. " You're too slow."
took over, putting his shirt on the rest of the way. He got up and leaned against the wall after as he undid his belt to get his pants off.
watched cluelessly, " That's a pretty small package."
didn't care as he grabbed at the pants before finally getting them and stepping into them. "To each their own."
lifted her shirt to look at her chest. " My breast size is 36D..."
shrugs as he finished getting changed and got back to the bed. "That's nice."
nods, " It's not really appealing apparently. I have too many scars."
nods as he pulled the covers up over himself. "Mmm."
look to him. " It's obvious that you don't like me." She muttered and started to go back to her room, staggering a bit as the alcohol finally hit her.
didn't think much of it. He was just intoxicated and didn't think much.
hated getting her hopes up and went to get changed. She went to wash up, not realizing she locked herself out of her room.
stayed in the bed, staring off at the wall. He didn't take into account what she did as weird. He just didn't care, which happened some times when he drank.
had no idea either as she was clearly drunk. She went to the side of the bed, sitting there cluelessly.
hummed quietly. "What?"
shrugs as she straightened the oversized t-shirt she used as sleep wear aside from her lingerie. " Locked myself out of my bedroom."
chuckles a bit. "Smaaaaart..."
punched his arm lightly, " Screw you."
shrugs. "How does one lock themselves out..."
huffs, " Iunno. I'm not good with doors." She flopped into the bed after, placed a hand over her eye to feel where the scar was.
hums. "The male Dane isn't good with them either... something you have in common.."
glanced over to him lazily, " It's not a good thing."
nods. "That's why I normally have a spare key..."
turned her back to him after, clearly unhappy about being lead on again. " Well I don't..."
didn't see how he was leading her on. He was just talking.
glanced over to him after, " I still can out drink you either way."
"Nee."
raises a brow, " You're obviously drunk."
huffs. "Nee."
grins, " Prove it that you're not."
turned onto his back. "What do I need to prove to do it?"
shrugs, " Iunno. You talk a lot and say a lot of weird things."
huffs. "I don't say a lot of weird things. Just things I need to say when they need saying."
glanced over to him. " So you lied about saying you liked me earlier?"
looks to her. "When did I lie?"
pouts, " Cause you didn't react to anything I did."
raises his brow. "You did something?"
frowns, looking disappointed before turning away. " Ja...you're drunk if you don't remember at all then."
shakes his head. "I didn't think it was an advance."
looks to him and frowned more, obviously and easily upset. " I'm tired of trying." She curled up more away from that after. " I've never dated anyone before and you're expecting so much from me."
"What am I expecting?"
huffs, " I don't know anymore. You're too difficult."
shrugs as he stared at the ceiling. "I've been told that."
didn't know what to do anymore as she kept quiet. " You still haven't told me what it's like to have a soul..." She decided to give up now, knowing it was hopeless for once and for all.
shrugs. "Warm."
sighs, " That's it? Maybe that's why it feels cold all the time then."
sighs. "I'm warm..."
sits up, " So...?"
shrugs. "I'm just always warm I guess."
shakes her head, " I don't think you'll be able to help me either..."
looks to her. "Why not?"
rubbed her arm that had a lot of old scars. " I don't think warmth will fill what I'm missing."
"What are you missing?"
shrugs, " I think its my soul. It feels empty inside sometimes." She wasn't sure herself.
nods at that. "I don't know how you get one."
ran a hand through her hair, " Cold you keep me warm in the meantime then? To make the cold go away?" She wasn't sure what she was asking but it seemed logical for now.
nodded. "Sure. Do what you want."
sat on him to see his reaction.
just watched her.
looked down at him. She decided to just lie down on him since he was cosy and warm.
didn't make an issue of it. He was still comfy.
nuzzled into his scarf quietly and made herself comfortable. Even if it was one sided, she might as well make the best of it.
started to fall asleep.
noticed and rested. She seemed sad rather but kept to herself.
Netherlands
was
just warm and comfortable. He couldn't help it.
got up eventually to get the blanket for him as she just slept close to the edge of the bed instead.
shifted towards her when she moved.
wiggled a bit as she looked at him in confusion.
didn't want to question it as he just tried to sleep.
curled up to him after, unsure why her chest felt heavy as it was unfamiliar to her. She just tried to sleep after.
fell asleep easily now.
tried to get used to it as she fell into a deep sleep.
thought this was a bit nice.
Dorthe
was
confused but just let it be as she was tired.
fell asleep fully.
sleep quietly until the next day...
slept later than he would have liked. He hated drinking for this reason.
didn't really drink unless there was a good reason too...
didn't really drink usually..
could tell. She just found it odd how she liked sleeping with someone...
didn't think much of it. He just thought it was comfortabe.
wondered what he'll think in the morning.
didn't know. It would take a while to settle in though.
guessed she was interested in finding out now.
didn't like the headache he had mostly..
could try to find a cure for him.
wouldn't mind it. As long as she was quiet.
Dorthe
was
really quiet on days she was hung over.
Netherlands
was
glad for that... He didn't like loud people.
shifted a bit more in the morning.
mumbled quietly as he rolled onto his back, putting his arm over his eyes.
curled up closer just because she was cold.
groaned quietly, not wanting to get up. He hated hangovers like this.
continued to just sleep quietly, stirring slowly from the sounds.
continued to groan and quietly complain.
nuzzled more into his neck from the noise.
groaned louder and shifted more away from her.
stuck to him like glue.
tried to push her away. He wanted to be alone when he had hangovers.
seemed unwilling to let go since he was warm.
just shifted closer to the bed before getting up, using the wall for support.
woke up eventually from all the movement. She sat up from the bed, clearly confused.
just went to the bathroom to wash up.
rubbed her temple as she tried to recall the previous night that was a blur. She went to the bathroom after.
just washed his face, groaning quietly.
saw that and went to get some medication and water for him after without another word. She left it on the counter for him.
thought he'd not need medication but some thing to get rid of his hangover.
had just gave him something to deal with the hang over. She washed up and went to get changed seeing that she just tried to forget the previous night.
didn't think about it as he downed the water and a bit of the medicine, not thinking it'd help much.
made a simple breakfast and left it on the kitchen table before going to the living room and cuddling her kitten.
went downstairs after a while and noticed the food, going to eat it.
stayed in the living room, leaving him be.
enjoyed the food, taking his time to eat since it was nice and quiet.
eventually had to go to the kitchen since her kitten was hungry and fed it there.
kept seated as he was still eating, but watched her.
smiles a bit as Kara seemed to take her mind off from her hangover as she fed it quietly. She was more reserved on these days.
just drank as much water as he could get his hands on right now.
saw that and put a pot of tea and a pitcher of water nearby him. She picked up her kitten and went back to the living room after, distancing herself from him again.
thanked her quietly before drinking more water and making tea when it was ready.
spent her time resting and cuddling with her kitten.
finished off verything and cleaned up the kitchen before going to the living room and sat in a chair.
looked over to him from her spot when she saw him enter the living room. She would have thought he would have left my now.
by*
wouldn't leave until his hangover was gone. He didn't like the loud sounds of the outside world.
dragged herself off of the couch she had been lying down on. Her kitten scampered off onto his lap as she retreated upstairs.
petted the kitten lightly, closing his eyes to lean against the back of the chair.
rested quietly in her own room after she broke the lock with force. Her kitten nuzzled and pawed at him playfully, wanting more attention now.
just idly petted the kitten as he relaxed, trying to ignore the headache.
went downstairs after another while of resting. She left some water and medication on the coffee table before leaving for her room again. She did wait briefly as her kitten followed her back.
thanked her quietly as he just continued to sit in the chair. He was glad she was quiet, but wasn't used to her being so quiet..
kept herself really distant to others when she was hung over. She was still pretty out of it and just avoided people to not start fights.
wouldn't question it then. He just contineud to rest happily.
thought happily was an understatement. She stayed with her kitten, remembering the previous night's events but decided to try and forget them. It was too good to be true.
didn't want to think about them until his head stopped hurting.
didn't know how else to help him.
thought this was enough. He had silence and water. It'd just be some time until the hangover passed.
went to feed the other animals after a while. She ended up being on the couch in the living room, keeping them entertained.
didn't mind, since she was still rather quiet to him.
didn't look at him as she was focused on the animals. Freyja was sitting on her stomach. Loki was sprawled on the arm of the couch and Kara was sitting on Freyja. Her lizard was somewherei n that mix.
wondered how they got so many animals..
had no idea. She originally only had a lizard but she found the kitten and adopted it. As for the other cat and dog, she blamed Soren and Sve.
guessed it made sense... he was glad just having his rabbit.
liked her own kitten and lizard. The bearded dragon could take care of itself and her kitten was too cute to not have.
didn't mind kittens luckily. Though he still preferred rabbits.
could tell. She sighed and curled up again on the couch as the lizard and Frejya went off somewhere.
finished off his water and got up to get some more. He was liking how the day was so far.
figured doing nothing would technically make most people's days good.
didn't mind slacking off a few times a month... and this was completely worth it. "Dank u."
look over from her spot. "...You don't have to." She stated quietly.
shrugs as he sat down again. "I've not woken up like this in a while, and so well."
sat up eventually, " I guess that might be a good thing..." She fixed her hair trying to cover the scar on her eye again.
didn't think she had to keep doing that..
did because she always thought it looked bad.
thought she was pretty self conscious about that.
did after a while since he really injured her ego.
never really thought of her ego...
Dorthe
was
pretty wounded by it...
wondered if she could try to get over it.
had but seeing it in the mirror often bothered her more tha ot.
than not*
guessed it would since females were worried about apperance.
Dorthe
was
not worried about her appearance.
wondered why she'd be self conscious about her eye then if it wasn't for appearance.
usually had injuries that healed well. This one left a scar like all the others she had.
thought she could get some cream to help it vanish.
doubted there would be anything magical like that.
knew there was. He'd glanced at it in stores.
hated putting stuff on her face.
didn't think it'd be that obvious, or there for long. And would be better in the end.
didn't think it mattered seeing she knew there was no point in fixing it when nobody cared. She decided to not make much of a deal out of it and keep it covered.
thought that by covering it she was making a deal about it, it was kind of obvious.
felt like he was just picking on her again and left him be to make tea in the kitchen.
Netherlands
was
just being honest...
thought his honesty was never nice towards her.
didn't think his honesty was nice to anyone..
always felt like he was targetting her and getting her hopes up. She still thought that the previous night was probably a lie where there was no friends with benefits thing going on.
wondered why she constantly thought that.
felt that he was always negative towards her most of the time.
Netherlands
was
negative towards everyone... it's just how he was.
thought it was really directed to her in pretty much all the times she's met him.
thought it was because she's not seen him with anyone else before.
had seen him with his sister.
... thought she was a special case.
knew so which made her feel worse.
didn't treat her any different from the male Dane.
thought that was complete lie. He treated her much more rudely compared to her counterpart. She served up the tea after, " I'll get Soren to drive you home later."
shrugs as he thanked her. "I can walk."
shook her head, " It's the least I could do since you went out of your way to come here."
shrugs again. "The walk might help me loose all the calories I gained last night."
looked away, " Those were empty calories."
huffs. "Calories none the less."
shakes her head, " All you need to do is rehydrate yourself to get it out of your system."
groaned quietly and sipped his tea. "This is a start..."
shook her head as she sat down again with her kitten on her lap. " You still complain too much." She repeated the same line from the night before.
huffs. "I don't complain a lot..."
nods, " You've been doing that the entire night up until now."
mumbled quietly. "Nee..."
tilts her head, slightly showing her scarred eye. " Nej? Do I have to repeat everything you said?"
shakes his head as he looked to her while slipping more of his tea.
huffs after, hugging her kitten. " Do you even remember anything?" She might as well ask.
nodded quietly as he continued to drink his tea.
drew quiet and rubbed her cheek after. She figured he didn't take her seriously at that time then.
normally took people seriously since after drinking is when they became most honest...
still doubted he would keep to what he agreed to. She became more distant as a result.
... didn't remember what he agreed to.
had a feeling. It didn't make her feel good at that knowing that.
wouldn't mind knowing what it was...
had simply asked for him to kept her warm since she was always cold, just to fill what she had thought she was missing.
... wouldn't mind to continue doing that.
didn't think he would have been willing to...
didn't think it was a big deal.
thought it was just weird, like awkward weird since she didn't know how to ask now.
Netherlands
was
best when people asked straightforward.
chewed her lip, " Do you mind just keeping me warm again?" It sounded so awkward now that she thought about it. " I get cold too easily." She added on after.
nods a bit. "Fine." He wasn't that bothered by it.
Dorthe
was
surely surprised by that. She just shifted a bit to make room on the couch for him.
finished off his tea before getting up and going to wash the cup. "I'll be there in a moment." He hated seeing left over sugar get stuck to the bottom of the cup... it was impossible to clean after.
nods and sat there awkwardly.
cleaned the cup and got some water before walking back and sitting on the couch.
looked to him, not sure what to do. She leaned on him, clearly unsure and tried to be confident.
idly sipped his water as she did what she wanted.
Dorthe
was
completely confused because of how nice he was to her. She got comfortable eventually and leaned on him a bit more before closing her eyes to rest. Just like the previous night, she knew it was one-sided.
thought it wasn't too bad... besides, she made a good cup of tea.
had her doubts really.
thought women were mostly like that.
couldn't help it from his past treatment towards her.
would try to be better..
hoped so as she nuzzled into him just for the warmth. She still figured this would be closer to a platonic friendship than anything more.
thought it was the start of something at least.
guessed it was better than anything and didn't ask more. All she wanted was rest now.
thought she could rest. He'd not mind the rest and quiet.
held onto his shirt lightly as she missed this warmth. It was nice and quiet and comforting that she wanted on these days. Sve's birthday was also today which also made her a little down.
wondered what she normally did on Sve's birthday.
usually slept, left a gift for the Swede and mope about by herself.
thought she really was different from the Dane then.
didn't really mope as she was happy for the Swede but spent most of her day alone to enjoy herself.
wouldn't judge her in that sense.
had grown used to being alone so it was unfamiliar to have someone to rest against now but it was something she had been seeking for in a very long time.
didn't even know how this made him feel... he knew it was nice though. A bit.
guessed that was a good thing in a way. She might do this more often on her off days then.
wouldn't put it down most likely.
found that generous of him so she guessed she could bring sweets and make tea for him on her visits.
wouldn't mind that. He liked the tea, and sweets...
guessed things were going for the better then.
wouldn't disagree surprisingly with that.
muttered his name quietly in her sleep though she didn't intend to surprised him that she knew. His sister told her it while the Belgian was ranting away at her.
raised his brow as he looked to her.
just rested obliviously. She kept it to herself of course.
kept quiet and rested a little.
shifted once in a while, moreso onto his lap like her cat would just because it was comfortable.
didn't care since he was basically asleep.
thought he was a pretty fast sleeper.
Netherlands
was
when he was comfortable.
wasn't sure what she did but she just slept peacefully.
wouldn't question it when she woke up, mostly to avoid her embarrassment.
wasn't embarrassed that easily! Maybe a little...
had a feeling she would be. But he'd be nice.
thought that was being extra super generous now and that was abnormal.
decided to give her a break...
really appreciated that for once.
figured she would. He continued to sleep after, nod minding the added pressure she caused.
wasn't that heavy...
knew that, which was why it didn't bother him.
nuzzled into him more in her sleep. She was a bit of a cuddler.
had noticed... He just still and let her do as she wished.
didn't like to show it but she had really being depreived for such a long time.
guessed he could get used to this...
thought that was indeed rare for someone who preferred solitude.
didn't really remember what it was like to have company like this.
held onto him until the was the afternoon and eventually started to stir since she was feeling hungry.
breathed quietly, starting to wake up a bit from the moving around she did. He felt better, and didn't have a headache anymore.
shifted away from him as she was feeling too warm and wanted to get up.
helped her up so he could stretch after. He was glad she was feeling too warm for once.
started to make her way to kitchen and splashed some water on her face to wake up. She was groggy but appreciated his help.
got up and stretched more at that, yawning after. He didn't mind the nap, and was glad that it helped his hangover.
started to make a simple meal for them after.
wondered if she needed any help?
thought she was okay/ She wanted to be a good host.
knew that the Danes could be good hosts when they bothered to be.
Dorthe
was
always a good one...for the most part. She made some open sandwiches along with some tea he seemed to like.
loved tea at any time of the day.
could tell and served up the food soon after.
came to the kitchen and sat at the table to eat. It looked good...
cleaned up a bit before sitting down at the table to eat as well. For some reason her cooking was extremely good when she was hung over. She could never understand why herself.
didn't mind at all, since he was rather hungry.
finished her food quickly so she could feed the animals that rushed into the kitchen.
watched the rush of activity, glad they decided to do this now and not earlier when he was hung over.
knew they could at least read the situation.
ate happily in the mean time.
kept the animals fed and started to clean up her own dishes after, serving him more tea.
sipped the tea as easily as it came. "Do you ever take a rest?"
blinks, " Not really."
sighs. "You should. It's nice to relax."
nods, " I guess I could. It's just rough for me on these days." She added after.
raised his brow. "How are these days rough?"
pouts briefly, " I can't sleep at night because of nightmares." It was silly but true.
nods a bit. "What kind of nightmares?"
frowns, " I can swim well but I'm always in some dark place drowning. It's weird and cold and scary." She admitted quietly.
nods at that as he drank more tea. "I see..."
found it odd she told him something so secret. She kept quiet after, a little embarrassed now.
found it odd himself, since normally the Danes kept things quiet..
didn't think she was that close to him to divulge such details.
guessed it was something about him.
cleaned up again after as she had the animals run off instead of crowding in the kitchen.
cleaned the table a bit when he was done his tea.
stood there awkwardly in the meantime.
thought she could sit down, or drink some tea.
just sat that and stared out the window instead.
thought that worked too. He didn't know what else she could do.
didn't really have anything to do.
guessed he should be heading home soon then...
could give him a ride seeing it was a bit of a trip.
guessed that'd be okay then. He did need to get back to feed his rabbit.
wondered if she could get a few tulips from his place as a part of Sve's gift.
wouldn't mind. It'd save him another trip tomorrow.
went to get dressed and get her keys after.
did the same, putting on his clothes from the night before.
might have washed them in her free time.
appreciated that... He got changed into them and then waited by the door for her.
went to the door and unlocked the car soon after.
got in, making sure he had everything.
started the car after they were settled and started driving back.
Netherlands
was
some what glad she didn't mind driving. He found it better than paying to get back.
Dorthe
was
okay for now since her hangover seemed to be gone.
kept quiet as she drove and just watched the landscape.
stayed at a good speed and got to the destination safely. It was a chill ride.
didn't expect less from the Dane. He got out of the car and stretched, glad to be out. "Do you want to pick the tulips for Sweden?"
nods, " Ja. Maybe a little weed too seeing you're the only other person I can think of that has it and in good quality."
raised his brow at the sudden comment but didn't question it. He started walking to his fields, putting his hands in his pockets.
followed after him. " It's just to help with sleep." She stated.
nods as he continued to walk. "I don't judge."
continued to walk beside him. " Just saying."
nods more as he kept walking, turning down a path after a while.
just followed beside him.
eventually got to the fields and stopped, letting her pick what she wanted.
blinks before doing that, being really careful about it too. She found it odd seeing he used to be sensitive about it in the past.
Netherlands
was
still sensitive... as long as he picked them it was okay.
let him do it instead of her then.
didn't mind if she got close to the tulips though to see the quality of them... but most were perfect.
couldn't help but touch them since they were so pretty. She was gentle with the flowers, brushing her finger tips against the petals.
wasn't as hurt by that, since she was gentle and just looking... it almost felt good in a way. But he was still protective over them.
smiles as she sat quietly and continued to touch the flowers curiously as she liked how silky the texture was. It was comforting to her.
decided not to say anything about how much time she was taking. He knew once she got the tulips she'd leave anyways. He didn't want to seem as though he was rushing her.
also wanted some weed to help her sleep and though he was taking long...so she ended up napping by the flowers in the meantime.
Netherlands
was
just deciding what to get... He eventually just mixed two together and brought a small bag out for her.
continued to sleep peacefully beside the flowers. She was content with being able to sleep for once.
raised his brow when he came to her, wondering if she'd have a nightmare here.
seemed rather at peace for the matter.
just sat near her then, letting her sleep. He helped a few of the tulips that were a bit dirty.
curled up closer when she felt his presence. She just recognized him by his warmth.
didn't mind as he continued to dust off some of the tulips.
slept quietly in the meantime.
would wake her up once the night came, or if it started to rain.
wondered if it was okay for her to stay over. She was probably too groggy and she kind of wanted to try the weed to see how potent it was.
didn't see a problem with that. It meant he could pick the tulips tomorrow, and they'd be fresher for Sweden.
guessed so. She started to wake up when she felt cold.
Netherlands
was
idly smoking a cig as he waited for her.
sat up quietly as she rubbed her eyes.
"Ready to go inside?"
nods as she got up slowly, " Ja/"
got up himself, putting the bag of weed in his pocket for when they go into the house.
followed beside him in the meantime. She was still groggy.
walked into his house after, taking off his shoes and neatly put them away. "The guest room should be ready."
blinks and nods, " Did you make dinner yet?"
shakes his head. "I was going to start on it once you woke up."
nods again, " Do you need any help?"
shakes his head. "I was going to make something simple. It shouldn't take long to make." He went to the kitchen and started getting dinner together.
nods, " I'll just watch then." She kept the rabbit on her lap when it went up to her.
nodded and started cooking some chicken soup, making a small salad to go with it.
smiled as she played with the rabbit, happy that it didn't mind her but rather wanted her attention.
didn't mind her touching his rabbit, as long as she was careful..
Dorthe
was
extremely careful as she treated it as important as her kitten. She didn't fare well with moose though.
thought she'd be lucky then since there were no moose here. He finished up dinner and plated it in front of her.
felt her mouth water a bit. She wondered how the other's cooking tasted.
thought it was good, at least for himself. He got his own bowl of soup and salad before getting water for them both and sitting down.
washed her hands after letting the rabbit hop off to another room. She sat down to eat quietly after.
ate quietly in his own peace, watching as his rabbit hooped away happily.
smiles, " It's delicious." She commentated as she took a sip of water.
nods as he continued to eat. "I'm glad. I normally don't cook for two, so there's no extra."
nods as she finished her food, content after. " I sometimes cook too much for myself instead. "
shrugs as he finished not long after. "I guess it's better to cook too much than too little. For most people."
frowns, " Its a bit of a waste of food sometimes. THen again I do with with Sve and the Dane. It's really awkward sometimes."
nods. "I could imagine that. I have silence." He was thankful for that.
started to clean up after in return for the hospitality.
didn't think she needed to. He just washed the few dishes that were left and dried them before putting them away.
went to rest a bit in the living room after since she was full.
walked out after, taking the weed out of his pocket and lightly dropped it onto the table. "Here."
blinks as she looked at that. " Tak."
"I mixed a sleeping kind with a relaxing kind. So you should pretty much just be lethargic."
nods again, " Do you mind if I try some now?" She looked to him after.
shakes his head. "By all means." He went to go get an ash tray for her.
carefully measured out the paper and rolled one up after.
put the ash tray down in front of her before sitting in a chair.
lit up the joint as she took a slow and deep drag to see how potent it was. All she wanted was a good night's sleep.
knew that stuff would give it to her.
took a little while for it to hit her as she smoked quietly and let it sink in. It felt nice in a way...
Netherlands
was
glad. He did have a wide range of variety after all.
finished it eventually, laying on the couch lazily with her eyelids drooping. She hadn't felt this nice in a long time but had other complaints instead. " It feels cold again."
sighed quietly and got up to sit beside her.
smiles and huged him contently after. " Tak~" She liked staying warm.
could tell. He just sat there and relaxed from the smoke in the room.
liked being comfortable and she was starting to feel more and more relaxed as time passed by.
"Think you'll be able to sleep well tonight?"
looks up to him and nodded lazily, " Ja...Its been a while since I've spent this much time relaxing.
"*
nods. "Good. I'm glad you'll sleep well..."
chuckles, " Ja. It helps a lot that you're here too."
shrugs. "You'll be warm enough once summer hits."
poiuts as she squished him. " Its too rainy in the sumner."
made a quiet sound. "It's still warmer.
snuggled up as she was playing with his sleeve. " I like to be um...the warmest." She wiggled a bit as the rabbit hopped onto her lap.
shrugs. "If you have blankets you'll be warm..."
pouts, " It's not the same without you."
sighs. "I can't be there for you every single time..."
nuzzled his arm in a derpy fashion as she made a face at his response. " Why the hell would you do that? That's pointless and a waste of time to be with me every moment. Creepy even."
nods. "Exactly."
punched his arm lightly, " Then why did you even suggest that."
huffs. "I didn't. I said I can't be there for you. So you'll need to find something else."
wiggled again as she pouted more. " Can you be tgere for me sometimes then?"
shrugs. "I guess I can some times..."
smiles as she got comfy. " I'll visit more with Kara then~"
nods a little. "If you insist."
slowly fell into a light sleep after.
watched her as she fell asleep.
held onto him comfortably.
sighs quietly. "Do you want to go to bed properly?"
blinks at him. " You want to have sex already? I thought we just started this friends with benefits thing."
eyed her. "... I meant for you to sleep in, instead of sleeping on me or the couch."
pouts, " Your too comfy."
sighs. "I don't want to sleep on the couch. My back hurts today."
rolls her eyes and slowly got up, slowly losing her buzz. " Fine..."
got up and helped her to the guest bedroom.
didn't like the fact she wasn't as sleepy and relaxed with all the movement.
got her to the bedroom. "Is there anything else you want?
held onto his sleeve with a pout. He was probably that.
guessed he could sleep beside her again...
pulled at it again. She just wanted his warmth.
would let her have it. He went to get changed first though before getting onto the bed.
waited patiently for him.
got back quick enough. "Do you want water, or anything...?" He felt a little odd in this situation.
looked at him blankly before shaking her head as she had her arms stretched out for him.
watched her a bit before going to her and getting comfy.
snuggled up close, like he was a teddy bear.
just tried to fall asleep.
found it harder to sleep now.
wondered why...?
had lost her high from earlier and she didn't want to get nighmares.
didn't think she would in his land.
hoped not...
would be there for her regardless.
thought that was nice of him and slowly drifted to a light sleep eventually.
fell asleep soon after.
watched him after as she still woke up once in a while.
slept the whole night without issue
tried to sleep but woke up and shifted when she couldn't breathe.
woke up a little when she did that. "What's wrong?"
frowns and buried herself into the pillow, " Can't breathe again." She hated that nightmare.
nods a bit as he rubbed her back a bit.
didn't understand it at all. She was good or used to be good with dealing with them in the first place but this one just made her wake up.
could try to comfort her then until she slept again.
shifted away from him after, clearly distraught. " Sorry...I really thought this would help like yesterday...'
shrugs. "I wonder why it's not then..."
shakes her head, muttering. " I don't know. I don't want to seem like a handful...I just want to make it go away."
sighs. "I don't know how to help with that, really..."
combed a hand through her hair. " I'll fix it myself..."
raises his brow. "How?"
closed her eyes, " Just give me time."
nodded and watched her carefully as he waited.
fell into a deeper sleep this time.
continued to watch her just in case.
eventually did stop breathing again as she tried to get over the problem herself but it was kind of difficult without air.
shook her lightly.
tried hard to concentrate on trying to breath on the other hand as her face as losing a bit of colour.
wasn't understanding any of this and started to wonder if she was possessed...
snapped out of her sleep as she was gasping for air again, cursing away.
helped her get breathing again, wondering if this would become a regular thing...
shook her head as she groaned. " Sorry...I messed up." She apologized again.
"Why and how?"
shook her head, " I don't know. When I start having the nightmare, my body just treats it like its happening but it takes so much to wake up like sleep paralysis."
nods a little at that. "I see...."
held her head after, " I need some water."
nods and quietly got up, getting her a glass of water. He held it out to her once he had it.
downed after rather quickly as she thanked him after. She tried not to get too caught up by the fact that she was drowning in her dream. " I just have a feeling that it would happen in real life."
shrugs. "It shouldn't since you know how to swim."
nods, " Yeah so I'm really confused." She huffed after, " This doesn't make sense at allllll!" She wasn't happy.
sighed. "I can sit beside you and watch to make sure you breath."
blinks as she frowns, " I really don't mean to burden you."
shrugs. "It's fine, I'll just make sure the other Dane knows what to expect.."
nods, " I guess." She hated feeling so frustrated and helpless.
didn't know how to help, and didn't think it was natural. He almost felt pity for her.
closed her eyes for a bit, clearly exhausted. " Do you have beer?"
nodded at that. "Is it really helpful if you drink it though?"
shrugs, " I'm not drinking much but it helps me relax."
nods and went to get one for her. He returned a bit later and gave it to her.
thank him quietly as she was playing with the rabbit. " I usually don't ask so much of other people."
shrugs. "You should be lucky, I'm normally not a servant like this for people."
looked even more guilty. " I think I should leave then if I'm bothering you."
shakes his head. "It'd be worse to leave now. Just stay until the morning, and I can call the Dane to pick you up."
made a sound as she growled. She hated being babied like this, especially with him always getting the other Dane. " I can take care of myself."
nodded at that and went to sit down on his side of the bed again.
sighed and finished drinking, keeping to herself.
wasn't used to this...
looks to him, " I'll sleep on the couch then if they makes you feel uncomfortable."
shakes his head. "It's not that. I've just not been with someone so troubled before like this."
huffs, " It's not like I wanted to or I can help it..."
sighs and scratches the back of his head. "I've just never dealt with someone like you I guess..."
pulled at his cheeks clearly not please or charmed by that reaction. " Is it a bad idea to try or is that too much of a challenge for you?"
pushed her hands away before she could touch him. "I'm just not used to it. I normally don't talk this much, if you've not noticed."
flicked his forehead regardless, " Then talk more. I never really get the chance to talk to anyone...about more important things any way."
shakes his head. "I don't like to talk..."
sighed, " Who else am I suppose to confide to? Soren is awkward, Sve is just nej, Norge and Holly are far and thin these days. It's not easy to find someone that listens."
shrugs. "Have you called anyone to even try talking to them about this?"
shakes her head, " I don't want to worry anyone and you're probably the least worried about me."
sighs. "If you can't breath in your sleep and end up dying I'm sure I'd get blamed for it because I'm the least that worries about you."
sighs, " Nations can't die if there is not reason for them too." She frowned thinking this was stupid. " I'm going to try to sleep again."
nodded as he got comfortable siitting up on his side of the bed.
tried to stay comfy and warm as she was feeling cold again and slowly fell into a light sleep.
got closer to her to give her warmth again.
appreciated it a lot...
knew she did. He just continued to sit up for the night, though did rest by closing his eyes.
slept well for once, despite all the troubles from earlier.
didn't mind his sleep himself really.
didn't wake up or have any nightmare for the rest of the night.
Netherlands
was
glad for that. He woke up early as normal and went to do some exercises.
slept in a bit since she was tired.
expected as much. She was still asleep by the time he got back from his morning jog and went to make a simple breakfast.
Dorthe
was
starting to wake up from the smell of food being made.
got the food on plates and put them on the table before making tea.
washed up in the bathroom before heading to the kitchen.
Netherlands
was
sitting and idly drinking his tea, waiting for her before eating.
sat down as she ate quietly after. She felt a bit better now.
Netherlands
was
glad she did. He ate slowly with her, taking his time as he ate.
watched as she ate. She need a change of clothes.
might have had some from Belgium... or she could shower and he could wash her clothes for her.
might prefer the latter option.
wouldn't mind doing that then. He had a few things to wash himself anyways.
went upstairs to the bathroom to shower
followed her but stayed outside the door and in the hall and waited.
handed him the clothes after she undressedand went to take a bath.
kept his eyes away before taking the clothes and going to do the wash. He figured she'd take a bit of a while.
did seeng she wanted to relax.
got the wash done quickly and went to dry the clothes, taking his time.
finished quicker than she had expected and went to find him, clad in a towel since there was nothing else to wear. " Um...where are you?"
Netherlands
was
just walking into the hall with the basket of laundry. "... You can stay in the bathroom, of you want."
blinks as she adjusted the towel around her. " I thinkthe ventilation is broken and makes me feel sweaty there."
nods a bit. "You can wait in my room then while I find your clothes..."
nods slowly as she waited in his room, sitting on his bed boredly.
organised the clothes before coming in and handed them to her.
petted the rabbit that was on her lap before thanking him. She went to change right away after.
left the room so she could change in peace.
finished changing and put the towel in the landry hamper. She wanted to get some flowers for Sve before she left
brought the basket into his room after. "Do you want the tulips gift wrapped?"
nods, " Ja that would be nice. Can I help out as well?"
shrugs. "It's easy enough to do once I have the flowers. Let's go pick them." He got his tools before walking out to the fields.
followed behind him after, curious as to what was in store for her.
just brought her to his fields and stepped aside. "Tell me which you want and I'll cut them."
shrugs, " The ones that look nice are fine." She wasn't picky.
shrugs. "It's for your sister... I'm sure you know her better than I do." Though, he did know Sweden well.
thought for a bit before picking the ones her sister would like.
got down and cut them carefully, making sure it didn't hurt the others around it.
watched and waited patiently.
got whatever flowers she wanted, an when the gathering became a decent amount he headed back to the house to wash and wrap them up.
followed behind him, wondering how she could pay him back.
didn't think she had to. He was acquaintances with Sweden after all, and it was a gift.
shifted as she kind of felt bad.
didn't think she should. He finsihed wrapping them up and held them out to her. "Here."
smiles as she took them carefully. " I'm sure she'll love these."
nodded and headed to her car.
tried to put it safely in the passenger seat. " I'll leave these in Sve's room along with the other gift I got there. Tak for your help."
nodded as he watched her pack up. "Will you be okay driving back home?"
nods, " Ja. I appreciate your help." She was thankful.
"If there's anything you want in the future... I guess give me a call."
blinks, " I don't believe I have your number though."
... hesitated a moment before going to his house and writing down the number, then handed it to her.
put it in her wallet seeing it was the safest for that. " Tak. I'll call you if I really need you. If not, just expect me to visit out of the blue."
nods as he waved faintly before heading inside. He didn't expect this to go that way.
drove straight home after. She didn't think much of it but was rather thankful to him.
continued on his normal way after she left.
