Roel
has
a massive headache and...oh god why the hell is he naked in his living room?! (hibacktonormalNeddy~ <3)
(BRB LOLING FOREVER)
((...S-SHUDDAP. S'NOT HIS FAULT THE CLOTHING HE WAS IN WAS CHILDREN'S SIZED. >:U ))
heard something about someone being in her brother's house so she went to investigate! Knock knock.
( SUUURE. YOU KEEP SAYING THAT, NEDDY. /LOLOL )
....sdggfghfdsgh.
((DO NOT. :U /THROWSSHOEAT))
Eva
thinks
someone was just making fun of her. I: Knock knock.
( OW /SHOE'D ; A ; )
scrambles around, wincing in pain and trying to find his damn pants. "J-Just a minute! Who i-is it?!"
... Wait is that--? Wait but wasn't he with Arthur and and... What the heck? "Eva."
........ffffuuu--! scrambles even faster and SUCCESS PANTS! He awkwardly stumbles to the door, jamming a leg in and another and hah he's-
-not naked anymore. "O-Oh hold on!" *throws the door open, zipping up his pants and staring after her, panting a bit* "Y-Yo. What's up...?"
Eva
needs
a moment to start thinking coherently again. Why is he. What. What the hell. Seriously. She blinks a couple of times. "... I think I got-
here at a bad time." This is her 'I don't even know what to think but it probably wouldn't be anything good' face.
......blinks a few times himself, sort of leaning awkwardly against the doorway and letting this process. Wait she thinks....she...-
-..OH DAMMIT. "N-Nee neeneeneenee! Nee zuster, s'not like that! I just w-woke up naked a-and I couldn't f-find my pants...and you, know-
-your here n-now and and....ffff.." *rubs at the bridge of his nose, groaning*
nods a couple of times. "Mhmm, you keep saying that, broeder..." This is right about when she takes a step back, still looking at him with-
an arched eyebrow and her arms crossed. "I thought you were still at Arthur's but seems like you don't need someone taking care of you -
anymore." Cough cough. Take that whichever way you want.
blinks, his eyebrows going up and a completely confused look crossing his face. "........I was never at Arthur's....?"
rolls her eyes. "You were. You just don't remember."
throws a hand up, frowning. "Oi, I think I would remember being at his house, zuster. Seriously, what are you talking about...?"
scratches the back of her head. "You were..." She makes a vague gesture with her hand, indicating his previous height. "And I sort of... -
L-left you there with him for a couple of days."
blinks, looking even more confused and this headache is not making anything better. He copies her hand motion..."I was w-what--?" He stops-
-though, and narrows his eyes. "...you left me with England?"
swallows dryly; uh oh, she doesn't like that look. She nods slowly, however. "You were a little boy. He-- he offered to take care of you..."
closes his eyes and rubs at his face again, groaning. "I was...a child, ja? And you. left. me. with. England?! Of all the damn people..."
nods slowly, looking down at her shoes and wincing a bit at his tone. "He offered to take care of you! I- I thought it would be alright..."
sighs, letting his hand drop as he looks back at her with an exasperated look. "Well apparently m'still in one piece, so whatever...."-
-he groans loudly, though, closing his eyes again as his head starts pounding. "....god...neuken..."
doesn't even look at him, both because of his current condition and because she sort of feels bad about all of this. "Het spijt me. I-I'll-"
- stop by some other time when you're feeling better."
manages to crack an eye open though and wave his hand. "N-Nee s'okay...just need to take an a-aspirin..I wanna k-know all what happened-
-anyway..." *sighs, pushing the door open more and not waiting for her response as he goes to scrounge through his cabinets*
stays outside biting at her nails for a good moment, well after he's gone back inside. It's with much resignation that she finally walks-
inside and closes the door behind her gently so the noise won't bother him further. Thinking she knows how this will end, she opts to wait-
for him by the door. At least she won't have as much trouble if she's told to leave.
finally finds that damn bottle of aspirin and manages to swallow a couple before going to flop down on his couch and stare up at Eva.-
-"Oi, ya can come and sit down, ya know...m'not gonna bite or nothin'..."
would rather stand, really, but she'll be polite enough and take a seat across from him. Suddenly it dawns on her that any little mistake-
Eva
is
enough to throw her off when it comes to dealing with her brother - even though right now it really is her fault. "..."
sighs and rubs at his forehead, peeking at her from between his fingers. "So uh...what h-happened again?"
shrugs, directing her attention at the decoration. It seems to be easier to talk that way. "You were a little boy. A-and I was packing and-
couldn't leave you behind when I left, ja? But Arthur said he'd take care of you while I was out, so..."
tilts his head, staring blankly for a second. "...did you steal my pipe?"
sighs in exasperation. "Nee, I didn't. Is it that difficult to believe that Engeland would do something nice for someone else in need? I-if-
you don't believe me, *fine*, but have fun looking for another explanation."
shakes his head, letting his hand drop. "Het spijt me...I-I didn't mean to call you a lier...m'just really confused is all..."
Eva
is
silent for a moment and when she speaks again, her tone is much quieter. "Nee. I should have taken care of you myself."
Roel
feels
himself stop and he bites his lip, looking concerned. "...oi, whaddya mean by tha'...I mean if ya trust 'em then..."
looks over at him exasperately for a moment but quickly focuses on the wall again. "It's not that; you wouldn't understand."
furrows his eyebrows, a scowl crossing his features. "Explain to me then."
crosses her arms again. "I was leaving, but you were little. I should have stayed or taken you with me, not left you with someone else. It-
-was a bit selfish, don't you think?"
sighs, scooting a bit closer to her. "Heyyy look. If you thought that was best, then its fine...n-nothing happened right?" *looks concerned*
inches away slightly, if only because she feels sort of guilty. "No, I did not think that. I was being selfish." She shakes her head. "Nee."
keeps scooting closer because her acting like this is making HIM feel bad now. :'| "...." *touches her knee, sighing* "...don't be like-
-that, please..."
can't really scoot away anymore or she might fall off the couch. Thanks broeder. I: She winces slightly. ".. I'm just saying what happened."
shrugs, staying where he is. "Well don't make me feel so bad when ya do that..."
frowns and finally looks over at him. "Why would you feel bad? It's not your fault."
shrugs again. "Dunno..I guess I make ya feel bad a lot and its startin' to bother me..."
raises her eyebrows, her eyes wide-open as she stares at him. "Y-you don't! Not like before.."
coughs, frowning and moving his hand away. "...oh...thanks..."
frowns a bit now, moving a hand as if to reach out to him... But she hesitates. "I-I didn't mean..." She sighs. "... I meant when we -
argued more."
sighs softly, looking away from her and just settling back into the couch. "...yeah..."
sighs again. Oh. Fun. Way to put a foot in your mouth, Bel. But still, she's stubborn. "It doesn't mean I hate you. Should I leave now?"
looks down and then back up at her, shaking his head. "Nah...s'okay. I understand what ya meant anyway...I'm an ass." *chuckles weakly*
Eva
gives
him an unimpressed, if slightly sad look. "All you do is make yourself look like a terrible brother. I don't get it."
arches an eyebrow, his face still sort of stoic and unamused. "I do?" *shrugs* "Yer just so unhappy with me most of the time, I guess..-
-...I guess I'm starting to believe I am one." *sighs, scratching at his scar and just closing his eyes* "I miss it when we were younger..."
nods. She's unsure of what to make of all of this, really. "Ja, you do. But I'm not unhappy now, am I?" Granted, sometimes it's hard to -
break the habit but what can you do about it? She knows they don't have the happiest past, anyway. "I like it now. Before there was Spanje-
and we both know how it went. And before that... We were too young. I don't want to be a child again."
doesn't open his eyes again, staying quiet for a moment. "I do. It would be easier than making my sister hate me slowly."
Eva
feels
like she could cry just from that. She reaches out to hold his hand. "I don't hate you, Roel.."
flinches and nearly moves his hand away, but stops himself and just lets his eyes open a tiny bit to stare at the ground. "...really? Do-
-you really not hate me for all the shit I've pulled...?"
squeezes his hand gently, tilting her head slightly. "Do you honestly think I would be here if I hated you? I am no saint myself."
chuckles even more weakly before but doesn't really respond much further to that. He's scared whatever he says in response will offend her.
doesn't really mind that; she would have to accept anything that was true, anyway, right? Still, she sighs. "I like being with you."
finally his gaze flickers up to meet hers. "....I like you, liking being with me." *laughs softly, feeling cheesy*
Eva
thinks
that really was kind of cheesy. I: But it's better than him thinking he's this or that, so she offers a small smile and kisses his cheek.
"Don't forget that, then."
he knows it was but he didn't know what else to say. :| And he just shuts his eyes again and almost leans into the kiss. "...I won't."
didn't really mind it. "Good." She rests her head against his shoulder, looking down at her hands. " Ik hou van jou. Remember that."
looks a bit surprised but smiles softly, moving a hand up to tentatively pet at her hair. "...Ja, I will..."
smiles just a little bit, but it almost seems a bit sad. "It's so confusing."
chuckles, playing with a few strands. "What is, dare I ask?"
shrugs, twiddling her thumbs. "Everything. I-I mean.." She pauses. "It's all been different lately. No fighting, nothing. I like it but-
it's still... Different than what I remember, I guess."
pauses himself for a moment but then just goes back to petting her hair, staying silent for a moment. "....what do you mean "different"?-
-...like you...." *stops again, furrowing his eyebrows and not being able to say what he just thought of*
looks up at him, frowning. "Like me, what?"
shakes his head. "Nevermind. M'not gonna try and explain what'cha mean. Ya gotta tell me first before I say something stupid..."
tilts her head slightly, giving him a somewhat pleading look. "You won't say anything stupid. Tell me?"
Roel
gives
her a slightly exasperated look, but now he's not exactly in pain anymore thank god so maybe he can explain..."Er. D-Did ya mean-
-"different" as in...different than when we were younger. With the whole...liking thing..."
remains silent for a moment and looks down at her hands again. "... Ja. That too. That makes it all the more confusing, I think."
nods softly. ".......ja, I understand..."
doesn't say a word or do a thing for a while, apparently lost in thought. It seems almost random when she hugs him tight, almost like she-
Eva
will
die otherwise. She's not crying, but she could almost be. "I just... I don't know what to make of it. I-It's not wrong, is it?"
makes a bit of an "erk" sound, but keeps petting her hair regardless and silently listening. "...o-only if you make it to b-be. It feels...-
-..almost right t-to me in a sense, actually." *sighs* "....I-I don't know..."
sighs as well, revelling in the comfort and that tender gesture. "It does?" She exhales softly, smiling a little. "It kind of does."
closes his eyes and leans against her, caressing her head with another soft sigh. "...ja? M'glad ya think so too..."
hasn't let go of him yet, nor is she planning to anytime soon. "But what does it mean? Do we just... Let it... Go away with time?"
doesn't really mind at all, cause he'll just keep petting her hair for as long as she wants. He stares at her though, arching an eyebrow-
-in confusion. "...what do you mean?"
Eva
is
happy with that. She shakes her head, however. "I. I don't know. I just..." She sighs. "I'll never know what to make of any of this... -
Whatever this is."
laughs softly, pulling a bit on her hair in a playful manner. "Well...whaddya want it to be?"
squirms slightly and looks up at him with a confused expression. "What do you mean what do I want it to be? What do *you* want it to be?"
holds up a hand, staring back equally confused. "I dunno. M'leavin' this up to ya..."
pouts. "Why me? You should have a say in this too."
shakes his head, chuckling weakly. "....nee, I wanna hear what you have to say first."
Eva
thinks
he's just being a cheeky bastard now. I: "I want... I want to believe this is meaningful."
Roel
is
not. He's just confused and a bit scared? "....I-I do too..." *laughs softly* "You know I don't necessarily like other people. Your-
-the only person...I've truly connected with..."
Eva
feels
about the same way. She smiles softly, nodding in response. She knows that. "It's ironic that we had to turn out to be siblings."
sighs and nods. "...it really is."
leans closer, resting her chin on his shoulder. "It shouldn't matter.."
lets out one more little sigh and just goes back to stroking at her hair quietly. "I-It shouldn't."
bites her lip. She figures there's no point in trying to not be awkward about this when it's this awkward already. "Does it matter to you?"
stays silent for a moment before looking down and shaking his head. "Nee."
doesn't turn to look at him. He face is all red and she's horribly embarrassed and surprised at her own courage to just talk to him. "Then-
tell me what you want to make of... All of this."
Roel
is
silent for the longest time before he looks back up, his face flushed as well. "...Ik denk dat ik wil van je houden."
must be shaking the tiniest bit by now and she can't really bring herself to say anything, though she is smiling a bit. "... Really?"
Roel
feels
Eva shaking and he hugs her closer, petting softly at her hair in an attempt to calm her. "...ja. Really."
takes a few deep breaths. She can't really help that kind of reaction. She nuzzles at his shoulder, keeping her eyes closed. "... Me too."
smiles softly, closing his eyes as well and just quietly stroking her hair, reveling in the warm feeling he's getting. "I'm glad..."
Eva
feels
much better about... This whole situation, whatever it is. She really doesn't know what else to say, though it doesn't seem necessary to-
actually say anything. She pulls away from the embrace just enough to look up at him. "And if anyone complains?"
stares down at her, chuckling. "Don't listen to 'em. God knows I won't..."
tilts her head slightly. His laughter is contagious; she smiles. "That sounds just about right.. No matter who, right?" Hint hint, Lux.
nods. "No matter who~"
kisses his cheek. "I'm happy, then."
blushes a bit more and leans into the kiss, smiling. "So am I."
sighs softly, and makes a move to pull away from the embrace and stand up. "You should get properly dressed and take care of yourself-
you must be tired, no?"
......just nearly sadfaces and turns away from her, sighing. "..ja, I suppose so."
places a hand on his shoulder. "I can stay if you want."
doesn't want to seem like he's begging because he's a MAN GDI. But...he really does want her to stay. "...would you?"
reaches up to kiss his forehead, making sure to not touch the scar. "Why would I *not*?"
appreciates this and is very red, staring up at her. "I dunno~" *chuckles weakly*
shakes her head before moving to stand up. "Idiot. Go put on something proper and I'll get you something to eat."
sighs happily and nods. "Ja, okay~" *shuffles off the couch and heads over to his room to go find a shirt...*
, in the meantime, makes her way into his kitchen to prepare something for him to eat. God knows what Arthur might have fed him.
finally comes out after a few minutes in his baggy futbol shirt and walks into the kitchen, nonchalantly coming up behind Eva and wrapping-
-his arms around her waist. "Nn what'cha gonna make?" *nuzzles into her shoulder*
Eva
was
not expecting that at all, so she jumps in surprise, though she soon relaxes against the embrace, resting a hand over one of his.
laughs softly. "Soup."
kisses her neck a bit, blushing and chuckling himself. "Sounds good~"
bites her lip, shuddering slightly from the sensation. "Ja.. It's almost done, too."
presses another kiss, smiling widely cause he felt that shudder. C< "Good~ M'hungry..."
reacts the same way to it ( I:< )and arches an eyebrow at his comment which she thinks could have been taken the wrong way. "Then sit down?"
rolls his eyes, but chuckles again and complies, slipping his arms from her waist and going to sit down at the table~
shrugs lightly, looking over at him. She was enjoying the proximity, so.. In any case she focuses on finishing up the meal and sets two-
bowls of soup on the table after a while. She takes a seat in front of him; hey, she's hungry. I: "I hope it's good."
