Arthur
has
woken up, and decides to go explorin' near Japan's house!
Francis
is
hiding behind a tree.
doesn't notice. Of course until he stumbles upon and behind that certain tree, sees France, screams, and runs away.
runs after him!
does not want to be chased by France again! He climbs up into a very tall tree!
debates climbing up the tree after him.
sticks out his tongue at him and kicks his legs.
starts climbing the tree.
screams and inches back on the branch. "Toad!!"
reaches up for him. "Rosbif."
starts to climb further up the tree. "Wanker!!"
snorts and pulls himself up onto a branch.
"Go away!!" He pulls a branch back and fwaps him with it.
yelps and grabs at his nose.
points and laughs, before remembering he's running away from him and climbing further up the tree... he was pretty high.
wipes away some blood from his nose and climbs a little higher.
Arthur
wants
to get down, but he's too far up! He whines, climbing away from France.
snorts and continues following him~
pouts. "Go away France!" He was scared to climb higher... besides they were almost to the top of the tree, and it was swaying!!
"Non! Come down here before you fall!"
"No! You go awa~" he sways on the branch wide-eyed before clinging to it. "Go away!!" he has tears in his eyes.
rolls his eyes. "Merde. I'll get you down. Stay still."
screams. "No!" and trails back on the branch, still clinging.
snorts. "I'll leave you up there then, if you wont let me help you."
looks down. "I can get down myself! I... I'm not afraid to jump!" He thought that was the only way he could get down.
laughs. "You'll hurt yourself if you jump"
pouts. "Nuhuh." He stands up and wobbles, intending on trying to prove him wrong!
reaches out for him. "I'm telling you, do not jump. We are up very high."
snorts. "What do you care?"
((may I jump in?))
[Sure x3]
"Because. If you jump. You will get hurt. And then cry."
*wakes up notices he's gone and hears the commotion outside. He immedlty runs outside. "England-san? England-san?"
pouts. "That doesn't explain why you care." France NEVER cared if he cried.
sighs. "I do not want you to get hurt. Happy?"
crosses his arms. "No."
*hears there voices and tries to follow them* "England-san where are you?"
snorts. "Just come down. I said I would help you."
shakes his head. "No! You get down, toad!" he wavers, one of his feet slipping, but he quickly regains his balance.
*Suddenly spots them in the tree* "France-san, do not touch him!"
snorts. "Bonjour Kiku~" Reaches for Arthur. "Come on now. Just let me help you."
"Do not touch him. I will come for him."
laughs. "Non, I got this. Please leave."
shakes his hand and presses himself back against the tree.
"No...he does not wish." * begins to climb* "To be with you...please climb down and leave."
shook his head. "Non. I will not. Arthur... please come here."
"England-san do not be afraid, I will help you down." *continues to cimb*
starts to cry. "I don't want down! I want to be alone!!" He was tired of people chasing him...
"It is not safe up here. I said I would help you down."
*stops and looks up at him* "Not even me England-san...."
Arthur
says
"I got up here on my own! I can get down by myself!!" he sat on the branch, bringing his knees up.
*nods* "Okay England-san...I believe you. You are strong. Please climb down."
looks down and around. He's actually a little scared to get down on his own, but he doesn't want France, or anyone helping him... He moved--
and clung to the branch, lowering his foot out to the other branch below him hesitantly.
"Go slow England-san. You can do it. I believe in you."
lowers himself down slowly, gingerly stepping on the branch lower. He felt better now that he wasn't as high. Now to figure out how to get--
lower...
"Very good, England-san. You are being very brave, keep going."
Arthur
is
a little calmed by Kiku's encouragements, and he moves to sidestep onto a branch that has one lower near it.
*watches him carefully*
steps on the branch gingerly, putting most of his weight on it before it snaps. He screams, just barely catching himself on a nearby branch-
He was crying, and frightened at this point.
*gasps in shock* "England-san, you are being very brave but if you wish for me to come up and get you please ask."
Arthur
was
shaking. He had scraped his knee on his way down, and he wasn't so sure if he wanted to do this anymore. He made a small sniffling noise,--
his tears starting to wane, and he moved down to a lower branch. He was almost there now, and he was glad for that fact.
*watches him care fully* "I am very proud of you England-san. You have done this all on your own and you are very brave."
sniffles a "Thank you." before hopping to the ground and running over to Japan. He was shaking, and there were still tears trailing down his
face
*gently takes him in his arms and holds him close* "You were very brave, England-san. Very strong too."
hugs him, nodding and burying his face into his shirt.
*notices his knee* "Let me take you inside and I will bandage you knee for you and get you a treat for being so brave." *he gently
stroked his back to calm him as he carried him inside his house*
nodded slowly. He was glad that was over.
*locks the door to keep Francis out and carries him to the bathroom, setting him on the bathroom counter. He then grabs the first aid
kit and takes out a anseptic wipe to clean the scrape. "This will hurt a bit so I need you to be brave once more, hai?"
nodded, squeezing his eyes shut. He clung to the fabric of his cloak.
*carefully cleaned the scrape with the wipe and gently put a bandage on it* "There. You were very brave once again."
made a sharp noise when it was cleaned, but quickly settled down, only having had tensed. He nodded a little and looked up, moving and--
sliding from the counter. "Are my clothes done?" he asked, looking around. He was only in his cloak and nightshirt.
*checks them* "Hai...they are dry." * gently hands him his clothes*
Arthur
says
"Thanks." before attempting to take off the big shirt. He got stuck inside and yelped.
*stifles a chuckle and gently helps him out of it* "There. Get dressed now and then I will make you some breakfast."
Arthur
says
"Alright!" before pulling his- much smaller, shirt over his head. It fit perfectly. He then slid his pants on as well and grabbed his--
cloak around his shoulders. "What are we having for breakfast?" he asked curiously.
"What do you care for?" * he had spent enough time at Arthur's that he was pretty confident he could make what he usually was served*
paused for a moment, thinking this over. "Berries!" he chimed with that toothy smile. He usually ate that for breakfast, because he--
usually was outside. He only tried cooking something once-- and it turned out bad.
"I do believe I have those. Is that all you want?"
nodded vigorously, he liked those very much.
"Come along then I will serve you some berries. Do you want tea as well?" *only assuming he had drunk it before*
Arthur
says
"Yes!" he *loved* tea, even if he didn't really get to drink it much.
*leads him to the kitchen* "Sit down at the table and I will prepare your breakfast."
scampered off into the kitchen, jumping up on one of the chairs and sitting down with a plop.
*smiles at the cuteness as he sets out the berries and makes some Earl Gray he had for Arthur putting the cream and sugar in it, setting
it on the table as well for him. "Be careful with the tea, it is quite warm."
nodded, testing the tea by placing his finger on the side of the cup. "Hot." he repeated. He looked up at the man. "Kiku, do you have any--
honey?" he asked with a smile.
*smiles gently thinking about their previous conversation a few nights ago* "Hai." * he gently grabbed it and put a few drops in his
tea* "Is that enough?"
smiled. "Yes." he said, stirring it a bit with his finger, since it didn't have the spoon still. Luckily it wasn't too hot. He brought it--
to his face and took a long gulp.
*smiles at him and sits down across from him at the table*
"Is it good?"
"Mm- very." he said around his cup, setting it down and licking his lips. "You like tea too?"
"Hai. I drink it often. With you often when you are older."
blinked at him, kicking his feet that didn't quite reach the floor. "What am I like when I'm older?" he grabbed up his cup again.
"Very strong and handsome yet very kind." *didn't want to add the fact that he had seemed sad as of late*
smiled around his cup, seemingly satisfied with that answer. "How did we meet?"
"You came and visited out of curiosity I do believe." *it had been so long ago that the details were blurry*
hums. "Who are some of my other friends?" he asked, kicking his feet more vigorously as he was interested in this conversation. "You said--
I have lots!" He remembered yesterday. "Can I meet them?"
"Besides I? America-san, Canada-san, um...Hong Kong-san. There are others that I do not know too."
*he just listed them off not expecting him to know any of them*
"Can I meet them?" he asked again. He was excited at the prospect. He didn't have any other friends right now because his faeries...
*nods* "I can only assume America-san will wish to see you soon. Hong Kong-san will want to as well." *as long as Nii-san didn't know*
*part of him he had to admit didn't want to share him with anyone especially Alfred but didn't say anything*
hummed, finishing his tea, his pink tongue coming out again to lick his lips. "What are they like?" he asked. He had never heard of the--
countries before.
"They are all quite pleasant at most of the time. Hong Kong-san is my brother."
"Ohhh." he said. "Do you have any other family?" truthfully he was a little jealous he had a brother.
"Hai...I have a large family.."
"Ohhh." he said again, looking in his cup. "I don't have family." he smiled. He sometimes felt lonely, but really it was no big deal.
*nods being aware of that* "It is not always wonderful to have one. I prefer to spend my time with my friends then with most of them...
Hong Kong-san, is the one I am closest to now."
nodded. He didn't want a big family, he just wanted a person to maybe play with. He technically had brothers, but they were just mean.--
"I guess I know what you mean."
*smiles kimdly at him* "I think I value friends more then my family, friends ike you become when you are older."
lik
like
smiles. "You're my friend right?"
"Hai, England-san."
Arthur
was
glad. "You mean right now?"
*thinks about a moment and nods* "You may be young and not know me well but you are still the England-san whom I care about."
Arthur
was
even more happy at this. He never *had* a friend outside of his faeries. Sometimes he met local boys and played with them a little, but he--
would never see them again.
*gently smoothed Arthur's hair* "You should eat your berries, England-san."
nodded. "Alright." he popped some into his mouth.
"Do you enjoy them?"
"Mmyep~" They were dyeing his mouth a purplish color, but he didn't notice.
*smiles at him gently because he looked very cute* "I am happy you like them."
smiles. "I like berries~" His teeth were colored purple as well.
*chuckles lightly* "I can tell." * he gently hands him a napkin*
wipes his mouth, before popping some more berries inside it. "Do you like berries Kiku?"
"Hai..they can be enjoyable."
hands him a berry.
"Arigato..that is thank you. It is very kind of you to share your berries with me." *gently eats it and smiles kindly at him*
smiles, leaning forward and wiping Japan's face with the napkin for him afterwards with a large grin.
*blushes a tiny bit at the cute gesture but smiles at him kindly* "Arigato." Gently pats Arthur's head*
"Welcome!" he chirps, laughing a little.
*was having hard time getting over how adorable he was like this* "Do you like cats England-san?" * he wasn't sure*
nods. "I like cats 'lots!"
*is a bit surprised that he did since he'd never known Arthur to have a pet* "When you are finished with your berries I will show you
my cat, Neko."
kicked his feet. "Neko..." That was a funny name.
"Hai...it means cat. Greece-san, another nation with many cats named him after giving him to me."
nodded. "Greece... is he my friend?" he blinked.
*thinks so, he could ot think of reason why they could not be* "I do believe so."
nods. He had a lot of friends like he said! "What does Neko look like?"
"He is a silverish gray with black stripes. His coat is very nice."
nods and finishes up his berries. Between the tea and those, he's pretty full now.
((brb I am gonna take a short nap then run som errands))
[Ok, Imma prolly take a nap too]
((back))
"Shall we find Neko now?"
nods. "I wanna pet Neko!!"
*smiles* "He likes to sleep on my couch." * leads him into the living room. Neko is on the couch liking himself.*
licking
sat down on the couch next to it, petting it a few times before picking it up, holding it up to his face. "Kitty!" he smiled.
(neko)*purs and licks Arthur's cheek*
"Do you like him, England-san?"
giggled, nodding. "Neko is cute!" He sets him down on his lap, petting him.
*sits next to him* "Be careful though, do not overwhelm him or he scratches." *Neko cuddles up to Arthur*
nods, trying to stay quiet then. He tended to get excited at the sight of animals, and he didn't want to scare him. "Does he bite?"
"Sometimes, but I do not think he will. He seem to like you." *Neko purred happily in his lap*
grins, most of the purple having faded from his lips. He starts rubbing the cat's chin. "Does he like faeries?"
*smiles gently as he pats Arthur's head* "I am not sure if he has seen one."
frowns. "Can he see them?"
"I am not sure...maybe you could try?"
blinks and searches for the ribbon in his hood, happy when he finds that its still there. The faeries will be here soon at this rate.
*the ribbon catches Neko's eye and he tries to bat at it*
smiles and bounces the ribbon.
(neko) *bats at it more getting excited*
"Keep your hand high or he might scratch you by accident."
blinks as some faeries try going for it as well. He listens, keeping his hand high in the air so he doesn't get scratched.
(Neko) *stops as confused by something also going for the ribbon and trys to bat at them*
isn't worried, because the faeries can dodge easily, and one even lands on the cat's head. He giggles.
*watches confused by Neko's behavior* "What is it, England-san?"
blinked up at Japan, confused. "You can't see them?"
"No...I am afraid I cannot." *thinks back to the first real time Arthur stayed here saying he saw and heard things Kiku couldn't*
smiled weakly. "You can probably see them at my house." he said, holding the ribbon up with the other hand, his arm getting sore.'
(neko) *tries to shake off the fairy on his head, batting at his ears*
"Do they become more visible there?"
watches as the faerie leans down into the cat's vision, smiling at him. He nods at Kiku's question.
(neko) *tries to bat at it*
"Is one infront of Neko or something?"
chuckled. "It's on his head."
*couldn't believe it, Neko was acting as if it really was on there. How could this be?*
(neko)*continued to bat at it*
"How did you find the faires, England-san?"
takes the ribbon away, now that it seems the cat and the faerie are both preoccupied with each other. "I don't remember." he admitted with--
a small smile. "They've just always been with me. They like me. They're my friends."
*found this sad, these were Arthur's only friends growing up?* "I wish I could see them, England-san. They sound nice."
smiles. "They are! They teach me spells, too." he admitted.
*looks at him surprised* "They do? What types of spells?"
Arthur
thinks
for a moment. "All kinds! I haven't learned many yet, but they've taught me how to put someone to sleep!" he chuckled.
"Have you tried that spell on anyone before?"
frowned... "I haven't got a chance to yet." He didn't have anyone to try it on. "The faeries sometime put me to sleep when it storms though.
*nods ands smooths his hair gently* "That sounds nice of them."
nods. "Thunderstorms are scary."
"Hai...I was frightened by them when I was young. I would hide under my blankets."
brings his knees up to rest his chin on, watching the cat play with the faerie. "I hide in the tree." he stated.
*hides his frown that this brought him and gently places his hand on the young boy's back* "You do not need to do that here. If something
frightens you, you can come to me."
just gives a nod. He's glad that he can do that, but he doesn't exactly want other people seeing him sad. "Thank you Kiku..."
"That is what friends do." *smiles gently at him*
(neko) *grew bored with the fairy and snuggled up in Arthur's lap*
watches the fairy lay down on the cat's head, deciding to sleep there, for some reason. Arthur chuckled.
"Is the fairy still with Neko?"
Arthur
says
"Yes, Fiyora's laying on his head."
"Oh....did you name them all?"
shook his head. "No, they already have names." He pet the faerie's head gently with his finger.
"Do they speak to you often?"
nodded. "Every day."
"What do they tell you besides spells?"
hums. "Lotsa stuff. They talk jus' like any normal person. They tell you about their day... they talk about yours... Sometimes they tell--
me stuff about their Queen." he smiled.
*smiles gently at him, it was enjoyable to listen to him* "They have a Queen?"
nodded. "I've never seen her, but apparently they do."
*nods* "I like hearing about them. They sound interesting."
(neko) *has fallen asleep in Arthur's lap*
kicks his feet a little, trying not to disturb the cat and faerie. "Mhm. They all really like me."
"That does seem to be the case but I can understand why, you are a nice person to be around."
pets the cat gently, trying not to wake him. "Some of em' have left though." he mentioned. "Some of them don't like the other faeries, so--
they leave, or get kicked out. " he paused. "The faeries call em' pixies." They supposed they were the same... it still confused him on--
why they were called something different.
"Do you miss the ones who have left?" * he was surprised that among fairies there were problems*
Arthur
says
"Yes. They sometimes come to visit, though."
"Oh that is good then. Fairies are they only creatures like them you see?"
shook his head. "There are lots. You just gotta look."
"There are? How can you find them?"
hummed, thinking about this for a second. "Well, nymphs you can usually find at night... and sometimes near the water... Unicorns... you--
can find if you're really lucky..." he sighed. He hadn't really seen much else yet, or at least, figured out what they were if so. "You--
just gotta look for them really hard!"
*smiles at him* "Maybe you could teach me how to find them."
frowns. "I dun know how to make you see them!"
"Oh...do not worry about that then...maybe I will see them someday."
nods. "If you do, I'll introduce you!" he smiled.
"I would like that, England-san."
*smiles gently at him*
nodded, yawning. He was a little tired again, and wanted to take another nap. He was afraid to move the cat, though.
"Are you getting tired, England-san?"
"Yes..." he said, rubbing his eyes.
"You can nap here if you wish. I can move Neko, it is not that important if he awakes or not."
looks down at the cat, not sure if he wants to wake him or not. "He looks so tired..." he said, rubbing his eye more.
*tries to think how to do this* "I could try to move him gently without waking him but I am not sure if that is possible."
Arthur
says
"I can try sleeping here..." He's not sure if he can or not though.
*sighed with a smile* "Come here and lean against me, I think it would not wake him just the slight movement."
((does that make sense?))
nodded, trying to scoot over as much as he could without waking the cat.
[yes xD]
*gently put his arm around Arthur trying to make it comfortable enough for him*
"Is that better?"
Arthur
says
"Yes... thank you Kiku..." he murmurs, resting his head on his chest.
*smiles tenderly at the little boy and gently brushes the hair from his face once more*
hums, hearing the nation's heartbeat. He smiles, closing his eyes. "Night, Kiku."
"Good night, England-san." *gently kisses the top of his head and then leaned back, closing his eyes as well*
[Okie~ Imma go to bed now really. XD]
[Night <3]
((good night, bye bye))
