Matthew
will
root him on.
thanks her ;o;
Matthew
is
going to go tend to his hangover now.
William
wonders
if he wants coffee... and breakfast in bed?
Matthew
says
it's okay. He'll get it himself.
William
will
just go hang out with Bruce... and stare at Kuma's eyelashes... why were they so long?
just shakes his head as he pours cereal in a bowl for himself. He is going to assume the other already ate or something.
Kuma is going to ignore Australia. What is with the staring people do, eh?
pets him, Bruce peering over his shoulder with a glare. Then it's time to eat, for both of them. 'Kayaking tomorrow?' he asks, entering the_
kitchen.
replies, "If you want." He sits down at the table. Kuma looks over at them, following, "Canada is normal, now. Not a mother."
snorts, sitting down. 'Hear that, you're not a mum.'
Matthew
is
not amused, "Shut up."
shuts up, pouring himself some coffee. he found it amusing.
just eats his cereal.
sips his coffee, leaning against the sink. He's in Matthew's badbooks it seems. Nuzzling against Bruce on his shoulder he asks, 'Where's the
nearest swimming pool?'
replies, between bites, "I dunno. Thirty or so minutes away by bus? There is a lake closer by."
William
thinks
... 'How far is the lake?'
"Ten minutes away. If you walk through the backyard far enough through the trees, you can find it. If you don't get lost, anyway."
contemplates this, 'Do you mind if I go swimming? Do you want to come?'
finishes the cereal, "You can go if you would like that."
would like that. He feels himself waisting away just sitting here. He washes the cup, 'Can I leave Bruce?'
gets up as well to throw the bowl into the sink. "Yeah, sure."
places a quick kiss on his cheek, squeezing his shoulder. 'Thanks mate,' and then he's off to go swimming~
sighs, heading into the living room and slumping down on the couch with Bruce and Kuma.
Bruce a bit confused climbs onto Canada's shoulder, 'You're Australia's 'mate'?'
blinks, nearly jumping. Did the koala just talk? "E-Eh?"
_Bruce sighs, throwing Kuma a pleading glance for help.
Kuma does not really care right now, sorry. Canada blinks at Bruce, trying to calm down. Talking animals aren't weird, but he did not know
that Bruce could talk. "What did you say?"
Bruce glares, this is effort. Climbing down he repeats, 'You're Australia's mate?'
shakes his head, "No...?"
Bruce tilts his head, 'What ae you then?'
*are
Matthew
thinks
. "...I don't know." Bah, why was a koala asking him this, anyway?
Bruce is asking because Canada is the first person to enter the house that Australia calls mate. 'Hm.'
draws his legs up to his chest. "He doesn't think of me as much."
_Bruce stares. 'He spends a lot of time with you.'
Matthew
says
, "He spends a lot of time with Switzerland, too."
Bruce isn't sure who Switzerland is. 'Only you have been to Australia's house lately.'
frowns. "Oh. I will tell him to take Switzerland over there, then." 'cause it only made sense with them being friends.
Bruce does not understand Canada. Wasn't he complaining about Australia and Switzerland. He slides off the couch and picks up the remote,_
changing the channel.
sighs, feeling bad. He just spends too much time with Australia and is just a distraction. Kuma sits himself beside Bruce, interested in the
TV.
Bruce picks a Documentary on Koala's... making funny noises. Revenge for last night, it seems.
Matthew
is
somewhat disturbed, yet Kuma showing no fear. He groans, pushing off the couch and goes to lay in his room.
returns later, not batting an eye at the tele. Bruce watched weird things, 'Matt?'
Kuma is sitting on the couch now, turning his attention from the TV for a short moment to look at Will. "Who?"
sighs, 'Doesn't matter.' He dumps his stuff in the guestroom before knocking on Matt's bedroom door, gently incase he was sleeping.
Matthew
is
on his back, reading a book. He blinks up from it, shutting it and putting it down on the night table. Sitting up in bed he weakly calls
out, "Come in."
bounds in, energetic after the swim. Atleast he wasn't lethargic anymore, 'You okay?' He asks, climbing up into the bed to sit beside Matt.
can tell, funnily enough. He nods, moving over to make room for him. "Was the lake nice?"
nods, 'A bit cold...' He was also afraid someone was going to steal his clothes for some reason, 'It was refreshing though.'
reaches over for his book, settling it in his lap to have something to fiddle with. "That makes me glad."
Lies on his stomach, blinking up at the other. 'I missed you.'
Matthew
feels
his heart swells when he hears this, holding back a smile. "You weren't gone that long."
nods, 'I know... silly isn't it?'
flips through his book, looking down. "Yeah..."
isn't sure what Matthew is thinking. He checks he shut the door before settling his head on Matthew's stomach to see what he's reading.
lifts the book, The Englishman's Boy, over his head to look down at the other.
smiles up at the other cheekily.
laughs at this for no reason, closing the book.
William
is
still confused. He shifts, the back of his head Falling into Matthew's lap. 'The view is nice from down here...' he says, grinning cheekily.
opens his book again, lightly blushing. "Hmm..."
William
is
a bit miffed that the book is more interesting than him. He'll just settle down here though, perhaps distract himself with Matthew's_
waistband.
tries to avoid looking down, keeping his eyes on the book. "What are you doing...?"
smirks, 'Getting your attention back on me..'
's blush does not fail to show as he holds the book up to under his nose. "Oh..."
smiles~, hands sliding to settle on his hips thumbs caught under his waistband. 'Do I have it now?'
nods wordlessly, not lowering the book from his face.
pushes up Matthew's top to kiss just above his belly button. 'Good,' he whispers, smiling against the skin.
fidgets, hands lowering and book settled down on the bed. "Why do you...do these things?"
eyebrows rise, and he pulls back. 'It's a sign of affection, right?' he asks, resting his chin in his hand.
pulls himself out from under Will. "I'm not an...expert...in that department."
isn't exactly an expert either. He lies on the bed, 'Neither am I...' he grumbles. He can't even make his boyfriend uh-huh.
sighs, laying down as well. He props himself up on his elbow. "Okay, what's wrong?"
shakes his head, smiling. 'It's nothing.'
's bottom lip pokes out. "It makes me sad when you aren't honest."
William
thinks
it isn't fair that Matthew can use that. He hides his face in the crook of his elbow, 'I just... I want to make you cum is all.' He pouts,_
feeling like a pervert.
blinks before giving a heavy sigh. He has been sighing a lot. His whole life has been a big sigh. "Why?"
knew he shouldnt' of told him. Burrowing his face further away, 'Because as your Boyfriend I should be able to do that.' He sighs.
gently nudges him. "Remember that sex isn't important?"
nods slowly. 'I know.'
"So don't worry about it, Will."
nods slowly, 'Alright.'
gently rests his head against Will's head. "It's not like it's your fault, either."
continues being the bobble head he is. '... is it always only a little?
turns red, pulling back. "It is usually nothing..."
blushes a little, feeling slightly proud. He caused that. Grabbing his hand he smiles smugly, 'Really?'
looks away, barely nodding. "...Really."
kisses his cheek. 'I'm sorry for embarrassing you.'
"Well, if it keeps your ego intact, then it's okay."
blushes, 'Thank you.'
rests his chin on his arms. "I try."
pokes his side, smiling. 'I think Bruce and Kuma like eachother.'
blinks, looking at him. Oh, that reminds him-- "I didn't know that Bruce could speak...English."
makes a face, 'He doesn't.'
nods slowly, "He spoke to me."
frowns, 'He speaks in well... whatever Aboriginal language fits his mood that day. And that's only occassionally.'
insists, "He spoke to me. He asked me if I were y-your m-mate."
blinks, 'Well you are a mate of mine.' He's not sure if he should believe the other or not. 'Maybe he knows you won't understand him like I_
do.'
shakes his head. "I think he means like...when like...animals mate."
coughs, 'A-ah... well, what did you say?'
blinks. "I said no."
nods. Well it's the truth. He must like you if he's making the effort to talk to you.'
lightly shrugs. "Why don't you ever bring Mr. Switzerland over?"
blinks, 'He's never expressed interest... we hang out at his.'
"Invite him, then."
blinks, 'Okay?'
looks over the edge of the bed. "He's your friend, that's all...Haven't you heard of 'bros before hoes'?"
blinks, 'What if they're your bro and your.... boyfriend?' He wasn't going to call Matt a hoe.
"I don't want to take up all your time like I already do as it is."
William
says
, 'I showed Vash my Sugar Glider just the other day and teased him about hugging me when he was little.' He pauses, 'I hang out with him_
plenty... probably take up too much of his time as it is.'
straightens up. "You know that's not true."
nods, 'I do... he has to have a chance to widen his horizons.'
shakes his head. "Whatever."
scowls, 'If this is your way of telling me you want alone time, just tell me.' He gets up off the bed, 'I'm fine by myself.'
"I don't want to be by myself. Unlike you, I don't have anyone other than you or Kumajirou."
drops his head. "I know I can't ask you to stay with me all the time."
hesitates, 'Well work and whatnot will keep me busy of course but... you have Matt and well, you and Vash are mates?'
shakes his head. "I...I'm sorry. I don't know better like I should. Invisibility is something I have gotten used to."
looks sad, Matt's breaking his heart. 'You can call me whenever, you know that right?'
pushes hair back. "...Yeah."
'And I enjoy spending time with you.'
looks up, now. "Yeah?"
nods, 'Definitely.'
"Despite fighting?"
William
thinks
. 'The fighting keeps us on our toes.'
"Is that good?"
nods, 'Means we're not afraid to be ourselves around eachother and knock heads.'
gets up. "You don't think we fight too much, do you?"
shakes his head, 'No... do you?'
shakes his head as well. "No, but I don't like it when we do."
doesn't exactly like it... 'I like it when we make up though... and I feel like I've learned something when we fight.'
shuffles his feet a bit, "...So...um...can we skip to the part where we make up?"
nods, wrapping his arms around Matthew. 'That's the best part.'
gently hugs onto Will, "Thank you."
ruffles his hair, 'Thanks to you too.'
keeps him in his hold for a few more seconds before letting go. "It's almost crazy...knowing what love feels like," he says, firmly, with a
small smile.
smiles, 'I know right?' He pauses, 'I wouldn't trade it for the world now though.'
laughs weakly, grabbing onto one of the other's hands and bringing it up to his own face. "Me neither."
cups his face, smiling. 'It makes everything seem somewhat new...' he whispers, taking a step closer.
blushes against the hand, barely nuzzling against it. "Yeah..."
leans closer to kiss him, lightly on the lips. 'It's exciting.'
returns the kiss, chastely. "And surprising."
nods, 'The surprises make it exciting!'
nods, stepping back. "Is there anything you'd like to do?"
William
thinks
, 'Camping.'
blinks up at him. "Right now?"
William
thinks
... 'Why not.. you have a back garden right?' This kind of reminds him when they went Camping inside, 'There will be real stars this time.
'
tilts his head. "You want to camp out in the back yard, Will?"
... nods, 'Well... you have bears in the wild, right?'
"Kumajirou?"
shakes his head, 'Grizzly bears.'
nods. "But not in the back yard."
shifts, 'Exactly.'
smiles. "I got a tent and everything."
William
feels
safer with a fence around them. 'Then we can camp in the backgarden?'
Matthew
says
, "We can. And we can eat out there-- just, gotta make sure to bring a can opener."
pauses, 'Beans?'
William
asks
, 'Or maybe soup?'
Matthew
thinks
. "Both can work. We can decide between the two."
'And hot cocoa in a flask?'
Matthew
says
, "I've got a thermos-- those are the same, right?"
nods, 'Yeah... they'e the same.'
knew that. "Um, okay. Do you want to take care of the cocoa? I actually have a few thermoses in a cabinet." He says that, not sure if the
other is wanting to drink after him.
William
thinks
this just means more cocoa for them both. He nods, 'Sure thing.' And off he goes, rather excitedly to make it.
goes into his closet to pull out the tent pack and dragging it out into the living room to drop it next to the couch.
William
wonders
as he makes the cocoa if the animals are coming with them. Bruce climbs up onto his back pinching a little bit of cocoa that he pours into_
a mug. 'Bruce... you gonna come sleep outside with us?'
d'awws internally when heads back to get a back pack with things needed for camping like tape, matches, baking soda...Though they are only
going to be out in the backyard.
listens to Bruce reply... frowning. 'We're not going to do *that.* You can sleep in your shirts.' Will snatches the mug back, huffing.
comes back after filling up a bag, throwing it beside the tent. He goes into the kitchen and searches the pantry.
puts Bruce down... handing him the mug after the Koala look up at him. 'The cocoa is ready.'
takes it, "Thanks. Do you want to bring Bruce?"
'No.'
tilts his head. "He doesn't like camping?"
nods, 'He'd rather sleep in my shirts.'
nervously laughs, "Oh. Okay. He and Kumajirou can keep each other company."
nods... 'Well we could always leave the backdoor open, right?'
"They can go through the doggie door in the backdoor." Or rather, polar bear door?
ahhhs, 'okay... then he can come out if he feel like it.' He smiles brightly, 'Should we go set up the tent?'
nods before grabbing the can opener. "Yeah, lemme get a few more things in the bag."
William
has
seen what went into that bag. 'I'll go take it outside then?'
only nods again. "Please."
takes the stuff by the couch outside, picking a decent spot for Camping. Canada could always direct him elsewhere.
comes out a few minutes later, having set some food within Kumajirou's reach. And, Kuma, is not sure what to think of this.
Bruce has food he's chewing into a paste just now. 'Is here okay?' Will asks, looking at the spot.
Kuma watches him. "Yeah, that's cool," Canada says as he sets down the bag.
Bruce is well on to being high, lala~ he wraps his hands around the others stomach, 'Thanks for doing this with me.'
*Will wraps
blushes, head hanging. He mumbles, "No problem...this sort of thing is fun."
kisses his neck, 'I'm still grateful.'
tries to wriggle away,"A-at least wait until the tent is set up!" He then turns redder, feeling foolish.
blushes, 'I'm sorry! I didn't mean like that!.' He fidgets before going to the tent, 'So, we have to set it up, eh?'
shakes his head, "I didn't mean it like that, either!" But he lets this go and pulls the tent pieces out of its bag. "Yes."
just has a pop-up tent. it's easier to set up on long hikes. 'Well tell me what to do, I'm your tool.'
blinks at the weird wording. "We just need to connect these pipes is all."
William
was
trying to be funny. Maybe a tool wasn't the same in Canada. 'Okay...' he says quietly, setting it up.
sets up as well, getting the job done quickly.
looks back, proud of their handywork. 'Looks good.'
puts his hands on his own waist, studying it. "Yep."
smiles sweetly, hands behind his back, 'So what was I meant to be waiting for until the tent was up?
drops his own hands, looking over to the other. "Um...I dunno."
William
was
trying to tease. 'Okay.. now we need to set up the inside... is it a two person tent?'
nods. "Sometimes Kumajirou and I use it."
peers inside, 'Do you think he'll join us?'
shakes his head, though Will cannot see it. "Probably not."
hums, 'He doesn't seem to like me...' He stands back up. 'So what needs to go in here?'
Matthew
says
, "I think he does. Oh-- sleeping bags. I only got one, though..."
blushes a tad, 'I'm okay with that if you're okay?'
barely nods. "Sure."
'If not we can always bring out a Duvet.'
"Um, we can use the sleeping bag..." 'cause, he would actually like that.
nods, taking his hand to give it a small squeeze. 'So we need to put that in, what else?'
Matthew
thinks
. "Probably a lantern."
lets go of his hand to get that. 'Done,' he says, putting it just inside the tent entrance.
"Anything else, you think?"
William
thinks
... 'Some cocoa.' He smiles brightly, putting them in.
pulls out a package of marshmallows to throw in with them. Not very healthy, but, hey. They tasted good with cocoa.
grins when he sees what there is. 'Now... we just need to wait for it to get dark.'
nods. "You want to go inside the tent?"
nods, 'holding the flap back. 'You first.'
bends over, inching into the tent and sitting himself inside.
follows, surprised by how much roomier this is. Sitting beside Matthew he asks, 'Campfire stories?'
tucks his own hair behind his ears. "How about we stack marshmallows?"
pauses, 'A bit like stackinng cards?' He's taking Matthew seriously.'
nods, turning slightly pink. "Yes...seeing I don't have cards on me."
nods, 'Sure thing.' He takes the bag of Marshmallows, and smooths out a part of the bean bag so that they can start. 'the one to make it_
fall has to do a forfeit.'
blinks, "A forfeit? Can't you just say that they lose...?"
blinks, 'I was just trying to make it interesting...'
surprisingly does not bat an eyelid before speaking again, "The other has to give the shoulder rub." It will hit him in a second to what he
just said.
blinks, taking a while to catch on. His head shoots up after he places the first marshmallow, 'Deeal'
Matthew
is
burning hot. Something is terribly wrong with him. "Okay," he says, pulling out a marshmallow. "Ready? Go."
William
thinks
his blush is adorable... and now he has to win... although he wouldn't mind losing. He starts staking the marshmallows when the other says_
Go, making a little pyramid and then adding to that.
makes his own little stack, doing it slowly to keep it balanced. He is not concerned about winning, but it would be nice to see how high he
can get the tower to be.
William
wants
to win, he's competitive by nature. He throws the others tower furtive glances as his gets higher and higher, beginning to tip.
's tower is not very high, hand being somewhat shaky when he is able to stack a marshmallow after another.
William
thinks
that's going to be the undoing of him, that little shake. He places a few more on, holding his breath as it wobbles.
reaches for another marshmallow. His hoodie sleeve, however, is his fault. It gently brushes against the top of the tower and falls over.
William
is
pleased since his was just about to fall over. Smirking at the other, he asks rather smugly, 'What was it that I had to do again?'
rubs at his own cheeks, then pushing the marshmallows back into the bag. "I...I have to give you a shoulder rub."
blinks... He thought the winner was giving a shoulder rub while the other... ohh, his mind was in the gutter. 'Ohh, okay,' he says, sounding
just a little disappointed. 'Where do you want me?' he asks, meaning what would be easiest.
tilts his head, only then to shake his head after all of his marshmallows were in the bag. "What's wrong?" he asks, picking up the other's
tone.
"I didn't let you win if that's what you were thinking..."
shakes his head, lying down for the shoulder rub. 'Nothing.'
bites his lip before hesitantly sitting himself on top of the other, hands resting themselves on Will's upper-middle back before giving a
long exhale and then moving them slowly down and outward.
groans, 'I know you didn't let me -ahh- let me win.' He didn't know he was this tense and is melting under his touch. 'There... ah.'
Matthew
is
caught by surprise, stomach sinking. His hands give a gentle squeeze as they move in separate directions and closer to the shoulders.
practically purrs, eyes shutting close. This felt amazingly good. His shoulders tense for a moment before relaxing under Matthew's touch.
looks down at the top of Will's head before snapping back to attention as to what he is doing. He repeats these motions two more times
before bringing his hands to the base of Will's neck. His hands slide, making little circles.
sighs happily, letting another, quieter groan fall from his lips afterwards. 'Ma-att?' he asks, breath hitching as he hits a particularly_
tense point.
's hands stop as they rest on Will's shoulder. "Yes...?"
looks over his shoulder at the other, 'Didn't know you were this good at shoulder rubs.'
pulls his hands back, "A-Ah, I'm not..."
pushes himself up, onto his forearms. 'You are.'
clambers off of him, sitting down next to him. "That's nice...of you to say."
blinks.... it's over? He smiles, pushing himself up completely. 'It's true...' He rolls his shoulder, 'Didn't know I was that tense.'
brings a hand up to his own shoulder. "After years of work, it's hard to notice."
watches the hand, a bright idea popping into his head. 'Do you want a shoulder rub?'
blinks, embarrassedly shaking his head. "No thank you."
leans closer, tilting his head. 'You sure....? This might be the only time I offer.'
Matthew
is
a brilliant red-- again, looking down. "Yeah."
hums, he thinks Canada suits the colour red. 'Okay,' he says, sitting back.
keeps his eyes downward. "What should we do now?"
looks out of the tent, 'I think we should go outside... have some cocoa and watch the stars.'
nods, "Okay, let's do that."
Grabs the flasks and marshmallows, climbing out of the tent to sit back on the grass. 'The air here is a lot clearer...'
follows him out, gingerly taking one of the flasks from him. "It's nice here...I like it."
nods, 'You have a nice place.' He picks up the other flask, sipping the contents gingerly.
smiles lightly, "Thanks..." He takes a gulp of cocoa before leaving it alone, laying down in the grass.
William
will
continue to sip at his, eyes glancing up. 'I doubt we can make up our own constellations this time.'
gazes at the sky, "It's still beautiful either way."
puts his cocoa to the side, popping a mashmallow in his mouth. 'Hm, it is.'
Matthew
is
quiet for a moment, eyes fixed on one spot in the sky. "...You show me a lot of beautiful things."
lies down beside him, hands stretched out above him, 'There all things you would have eventually found yourself.'
*they're
's eyes stray from the sky, whispering, "Sometimes we all need a little help."
smiles, eyes on the sky. '... you've shown me a lot too.'
looks back up at the sky. "...Like what?"
smiles, eyes glancing to the side, 'Love for one.'
's eyes flicker over to Will again. "Oh?"
rolls over, smiling. 'And a polar bear, up close,' he says, teasing.
Matthew
is
quiet, trying to keep focused on the stars.
looks up too, eventually ending up on his elbows to sip some more cocoa.
also sips some cocoa, dribbling some on his chin. He blindly wipes it clean with his hoodie's sleeve.
smiles, catching the movement out of the corner of his eye. 'So how are we going to cook outside?'
blinks. Right. Food. "Oh, um...We'll just make a fire and use some of the pans I brought."
William
is
hungry, he hasn't ate all day. 'A fire in your back garden?'
nods against the ground. "I cut trees sometimes and I got of stack of them right up against shed."
... wants to see him cut wood one day. 'Do you wear plaid?'
blinks at the question. "....Uh...sometimes?"
William
wonders
what Canada looks like in a lumberjack outfit, in the back of his mind before standing up, 'We should go get wood then.'
gets up as well, scurrying to the small shed and stepping to the left. "I figure four logs will work," he says, picking up two.
picks up another too, 'What will we use for Kindling? Newspaper?'
takes a few steps back over. "I only brought matches. Dangit."
shakes his head, 'That's fine! You can use dried grass and leaves too...' Also, the house is *just* there.
Matthew
is
trying to make the experience...more realistic. "Okay," he says, dropping the logs.
nods, placing his logs beside Matthew's. 'There should be leaves about here... and it's been dry lately?'
Matthew
says
, "It rained a few days ago."
ahhhs, leaves won't be any good then. He's kind of used to having too much kindling e_e. 'Umm... well... we could use twigs!'
nods and heads to one of his trees. He bends down and inches around it, picking up different twigs before returning to Will. "These fine?"
smiles, 'Perfect.' He starts splitting them in half placing them on the ground. 'Where do you want this fire?'
Matthew
thinks
. "Right here seems fine enough."
doesn't want to wreck his garden. He props up the four logs, stepping back. Matthew has the matches afterall.
pulls the matches out of his pocket, only to hold them close for a short moment. "Could...could you maybe light it...?" he asks, sheepishly.
looks slightly surprised before nodding with a small smile...'Sure.'
hands over the matches, lightly blushing.
takes the matches, lighting a few and just throwing them in. He crouches lower to fan the flame, blowing in and soon enough they have a fire
. 'There you go.'
thoughtlessly watches him, blinking out of the daze when the other speaks. Oh, he should have gotten some food out. He mentally curses
himself before running to his bag to pull out the pan and two cans. "Thanks a lot."
shakes his head, 'It's fine.' He sits by the fire waiting for Canada, it's nice and toasty =w=
sits down by the fire as well, setting down the pan as he works the can opener on the can of beans.
watches the fire, eyes flickering over to Canada occassionally incase the other needs help/
watches the fire, eyes flickering over to Canada occassionally incase the other needs help.
opens the can, dumping its contents into the pan before sticking it in front of the fire. "...If you could have anything, what would it be?"
William
wonders
if he should cook the other can. He grabs it and the can opener but finds himself pausing at the question. 'Anything?'
Matthew
gives
the pan he is holding a little shake. "Anything."
William
thinks
for a while, 'A happy country.' He opens the can, emptying the contents into the pan and places it over the fire too.
pokes at the food with a plastic spatula before handing it over to Australia. "That's a nice thought."
William
has
a pan over the fire. 'You can have that...' He continues cooking his, 'What would you have?'
uses the spatula to move the beans around before pulling it back, letting the pan stay above the fire. "A happy world."
grins, 'I should have thought of that.' He plays a lot of nations who are worse off in Cricket afterall. 'I think I'd like that too.' He_
finishes cooking whatever is in his pan and pulls it back. He hasn't ate from the pan in years.
also pulls back his pan, "There are spoons in my bag."
places the pan on the grass, rushing over to get them. Returning he asks, 'What if it was something just for yourself?'
Matthew
thinks
about this, staring down at his beans. "I...I guess of what you said...a happy country."
waves his hand, frowning. 'That's for your people. I mean something for you.' He hands Matthew the spoon, 'What do you want, as Matthew?'
takes the spoon, sticking it into the beans and taking a bite. He didn't burnt them this time. Yum. "Well...um...what about you? What do you
want as Will...?"
burnt the one's around the outside in his pan. 'I asked you first,' he says, taking a bite.
keeps the spoon in his mouth for a few seconds before sticking it back into the beans. "But...I don't know..."
thinks, 'There's nothing you've seen and thought, 'I want that?''
slowly shakes his head before eating more beans.
eats from his plate for a while, humming under his breath. 'I want a swimming pool in my back garden.'
smiles against the spoon, "That sounds nice."
nods, 'But now I seem selfish.'
lowers his spoon. "Is it because I'd want you?"
spoon pauses in mid air, blushing. 'That makes me seem really selfish now mate.'
falls silent, keeping himself busy with eating his beans.
blushes, stuffing some more beans into his mouth. 'I do want you... but I don't want to hold on too tightly to only have you leave...'
now frowns. "Why do you think I would leave?"
says, 'If you hold onto to something too tightly it might suffocate.' He finishes his pan, placing it to the side as he reaches for the_
cocoa.
Matthew
feels
a lump develop in his throat, also setting down his own pan. "I want to tell you that I will stay with you forever and actually live to
believe it...But...We're nations. Time never ends for us..." His lips pull back, eyes blinking down.
swallows a couple of times, looking at the fire. 'I know... but we can have a good crack at it, don't you think?' and if his voice cracked_
he doesn't want to talk about it.
draws his legs up to his chest. "That would be what I want for myself."
William
wonders
how Canada can be romantic without trying. He crawls close hugging around his waist. 'Then I'll try and give you what you want.'
blinks in surprise, that lump in his throat not going away. "...I'll help you with your swimming pool."
laughs lightly agianst his side, nuzzling his neck. 'I have nowhere to put it.'
sniffs. "It can go in the guest room."
rubs his back, kissing his forehead. 'Hm, or maybe the basement.'
's eyes begin to water, "Oh the drawer Bruce likes so much."
*Or
looks worried and upset, moving to nuzzle his neck. 'Or I could just have you in return, right?'
"I think a pool would be more useful."
knows a pool would be more useful but wanting things doesn't mean it has to be useful. 'Would you come swimming with me in it?'
looks at him for a moment. "If you wanted me to, yeah..."
nods, 'Yep.' He's glad the other isn't tearing up anymore, '...Are you okay?'
... "Even if we aren't always together, I will always, somehow, love you."
watches the other for a moment, and feels himself tear out, choking out a small laugh as he covers up hie eyes. He takes a shuddering_
breath, 'I'll love you too.'
gently hugs onto Will for comfort. "Even if there is something else, or if we fall ill, or something."
nods softly, 'Are you trying to make me cry?' he asks with a small laugh, sniffling.
shakes his head against him, "I'm...I'm just being honest with you."
sighs shakily, 'We should just enjoy the moment don't you think?'
barely nods. "What should we do now, then?"
thinks, 'Melted Marshmallows.' He wipes his eyes with the back of his hand, 'So we need sticks.'
blinks at the response before smiling. "I'll go get some sticks," he says. He then gets up, hurrying over to the same tree.
recomposses himself, pouting at his stupidity. He hasn't cried infront of someone else since... England. He stretches to grab the_
marshmallows, popping one in his mouth.
eventually returns with two, handing one to Will before being bold enough to press a kiss to his temple.
blushes, looking up at the other. Attaching a marshmallow to the end of Matthew's stick he leans forward to press a chaste kiss on his lips.
'Thanks Matt.'
goes red, blinking. But it does not stop him from the short lived boldness streak to return the kiss before sticking his marshmallow over
the fire.
smiles, contented. He puts a Marshmallow on the end of his stick and places it in the fire, intent on burning it.
does not have the same intention, pulling it out only after a shirt time has passed before sticking it in his mouth and immediately pulling
the stick out after.
pulls it out when it's black, popping the contents into his mouth. He pops another marshmallow on the end of the stick, '...lucky that we_
got a clear sky, eh?'
replies with a small 'yes,' setting down his stick to suck down some more cocoa.
takes the last marshmallow off the stick with his teeth, leaning against Matthew. 'If I said I wanted to give you a back massage what would_
you say?'
coughs, pulling back the thermos as he needs to use his sleeve for a napkin. "I-I'd say 'Why?'"
says, 'Because earlier you touched your shoulders when you said you don't notice how tense you are after years of work.'
Matthew
thinks
. "Oh...You want to give me a back massage?"
nods, 'I'll get to your shoulders too of course.'
blushes, bringing his hands up to his own face. "You don't need to," he mumbles.
pouts, placing a hand on Matthew's thigh. 'I want to,' he whispers, as though it's a secret.
fingers curl before he looks over his hands, only to whisper back, "And...maybe I want you to."
smiles softly, 'So I don't see the problem.' He kisses the corner of Matthew's mouth, 'Out here or in the tent?'
continues to blush. "Whichever..."
William
thinks
out by the fire is warmer. He shifts to sit behind Canada, k
*fingers already working into the top of his shoulders.
looks out at the fire, only to soon close his eyes after the hands are settled on his shoulders.
squeezes his hands before moving to kneed his shoulder blades. He finds that the hoody is in the way though, 'Can I take this off?'
blinks his eyes open, looking back for a short second. "Oh, um, yeah," he says before doing it himself.
pats his shoulder, 'Thank you.' Now he can seriously work into the muscles, gradually making his way down Matthew's back.
slouches over slightly, hugging himself as he watches the fire move all...prettily.
William
thinks
this isn't fair as he works on a knot. Matthew is so stoic and it's only making him more determined to drag a sound out of him.
does not make any sound, head lowering and losing sight on the fire.
massages his waist, head resting on Matthew's uper back as he looks down. 'What else do you play aside Hockey?'
Matthew
feels
like they had this conversation before-- or, no. Maybe something relative? "Lacrosse."
William
thinks
they have now, he made the same face. 'Private schools in Australia play that.' He works the lower back, small frown in place.
"What about you?"
William
thinks
, 'Rugby, Cricket... Australian football.'
blinks. "What's Australian football?"
'It's like American football but you have an oval field, usually old cricket pitches and the rules as different.'
"Oh...okay."
nods, running his hands back up to work on the shoulders. 'I prefer Rugby.'
Matthew
thinks
. "Maybe we can play someday."
nods, finishing with a small pat. 'I'd like that.'
rolls his head. "Sounds fun. And thank you for that."
shakes his head, 'It's fine.' He wraps his arms around Matthew's neck, hugging onto him lightly. 'What now?'
Matthew
is
looking at the fire again... "I don't know."
William
thinks
sitting out here for a while is fine then. He lets go, lying on the grass with a small smile as he too, watches the fire.
remains sitting up, keeping his legs close to his chest.
stretches like a cat as he starts to overheat, eyes half shut.
lets go of his legs before leaning over to press a kiss to Will's lips.
responds to the kiss, hand coming to rest at the base of Matthew's neck.
meant to pull away right then, but does not complain. He rests a hands on either side of Will to support himself.
licks his top lip, sucking on it softly afterwards.
then pulls back, pulling his legs up close again.
watches the other, 'Are you okay Matt?'
looks back down at him, "Why?"
smiles, 'I was just wondering.'
... "Have you heard of a Canadian kiss?"
... shakes his head, sitting up on elbows. 'What is it?'
rests his chin on top of his arms. "It's like an Australian kiss...only multiple."
's eyebrows raise, ''Multiple?'
nods. "Mhm."
sits up completely. 'How do you make it multiple?'
"I guess you have to be really talented on both sides."
William
thinks
... 'Ahh... a sixty nine?' He asks, with a small blush?
shakes his head, turning red, "The one getting the-- kiss-- cums multiple times." He then covers his mouth.
William
is
beetroot. He stutters for a while before managing, 'Do you want one?'
blinks and nearly stumbles over. "W-What? Eh?!"
traces a hand up his thigh, 'That's why you mentioned it, right?'
shakes his head, "I dunno why I mentioned it, really. Really..."
pouts :c
Matthew
is
panicked. D:
"Do...do you want one?"
blushes, looking off to the side. 'No...' Although it does sound kind of sexy...
"Then what's wrong, eh?"
William
wants
to give Matthew one... and wants one himself. He pouts some more, 'I'm horny now he mumurs, fingers tracing along Matthew's waistband.
blinks, "I-I'm sorry."
sighs, 'It's not your fault.' He retreats his hand, 'You didn't mean it.'
pushes his hair out of his face. "Australian kiss?" he asks-- offering-- something.
blushes, shifting. 'I said it was fine...' Although... 'How about using our hands on eachother or...' He blushes, he's a complete pervert.
Matthew
is
pink. "...Or?"
William
is
a flaming red, mouth downturned. 'Mastu--- ,' he starts before bringing a hand up to his face, 'mumblemumble'
's face is now just as red, barely catching what the other said, but it hit him somewhere. "O-Okay."
blinks in surprise behind his hands. He looks at Matthew through his fingers, 'Really? I-Infront of me?' Matthew will never look at him in_
the same way again.
pulls back a bit, "If you want...?"
nods slowly, pulling his hand away. 'I do! but only if you want to.'
looks down. "Well...I dunno...I only came once and that was you."
blushes, 'Well if you're not sure then you shouldn't do it.' And god, he's a sick pervert. He sobs internally.
Matthew
says
, "Then...We touch each other."
and stays red.
nods, slowly. 'Yeah... but I'd kind of like to kiss you first.' He smirks a little, still red too.
leans in slowly, "I...I would...like that. A lot."
smiles, pressing his lips to Matthew's after shutting his eyes. He keeps his hands to himself, keeping it sweet for the moment.
kisses back, eyes slowly closing as he tilts his head to the side.
William
likes
this new angle. He licks his lip teasingly, pulling his tongue back as he presses closer.
may actually just be content with this. He cups Will's face, gently biting at his lower lip.
holds back a gasp, licking at the bite as he tightens his hands in the Grass.
licks at the tongue, pushing forward slightly.
nips at the tongue, hands coming up to tangle in Matthew's hair as he pushes back.
breaks the kiss for a moment, yet not putting any distance between them. Against Will's lips, he murmurs, "I am not sure if I want to go
that far tonight, Will..."
smiles, 'Then we won't.'
presses two short kisses to the other's lips, continuing to keeps his hands on the sides of Will's head.
presses a short kiss against Matthew's lips before trying to pull back a little, smiling. 'I'm glad that we can communicate like that, you_
know?'
drops his hands. "Communicate like what?"
settles down sitting cross legged, 'Tell eachother what we want and don't want.'
nods slightly. "I mean...I do...I...I just don't want you to be upset if I don't cum..."
William
feels
bad now. 'Matthew, I'm not upset at you when it comes to that.' He smiles, leaning forward to touch their foreheads together. 'I should just
be happy that you enjoy it enough to want to do it again.'
's eyes close in reaction to the touch. "It makes me feel good...really good."
cups his face, thumb stroking his cheek. 'Then it's fine... you're perfect as you are.'
Matthew
is
burning in the face. "You too.."
kisses his cheek, smiling despite himself. He tucks some hair behind Matthew's ear, 'Sexy too.'
squirms. "When you say things like that...Ahh.." He bites his own lip.
smirks, 'What? When I tell you you're sexy?' he asks, running a thumb over his eyebrow. 'Or irresistible?'
nods stiffly. "Yeah..."
hums, pulling back. 'What does it do?' he asks with a small cheeky grin.
puffs out his cheeks, "Nothing."
pokes his cheek grinning, 'Well if it does nothing I should stop saying it, right?' he teases.
"It turns me on. Stop being mean." .~.
isn't being mean :T He nods though, deciding not push his luck and falls back to look at the stars. 'Sorry.'
now feels sad and turned on at the same time.
holds out his arms for a cuddle, 'Come look at the stars with me? I'll show you constellations~?'
huffs for a moment before inching into Will.
hugs around his waist, kissing his cheek. 'I'm sorry I took the teasing too far.'
shrugs against him. "I wanted it just as much as you do."
*did
William
thinks
... the teasing or the well... whatever they decided on? Matthew said he wasn't in the mood. He looks up at the sky, 'You can't see the Crux
here...'
"...I'm sorry?"
shakes his head, 'It's interesting.' He looks up, mapping out the big dipper with his hand. 'You can't see that in Australia.'
blinks up at the sky. "Oh..."
nods, looking up. 'It's nice to think that you're never looking up at the same sky.'
"I never noticed."
keeps quiet after that, Matthew obviously isn't interested. Australia is probably just interested because of his flag anyway.
simply cannot make sense of constellations. All it was just pretty. But, oh well.
tightens his hold on Matthew... before tickling him now.
*tickling him.
fidgets. "What a-are you doing?"
blinks, 'Tickling you?'
"Why?"
'Why not?'
"It's hard to see the stars with my eyes closed."
thought he wasn't interested. '... Sorry,' and if he was a dog his ears would be back.
shakes his head, "It's fine."
nods, watching the other. 'Okay.'
peers back up the sky. Really, all was mainly a shine to him and it was hard to see shapes. It was different from the fake stars.
*is
kisses the top of his hair before turning back to the stars. Tonight had been fun and the glow from the dying fire reflected off of Matthew_
's hair and skin just right. Tonight was turning out to be a night to remember, for him atleast.
lifts his arm up, making a slope motion with his finger. "Dipper?"
smiles brightly, nodding. 'Yeah! That's right... i think it looks like a ladel..'
drops his arm. "Maybe a skillet..."
blinks, before nodding. I can see that.'
"Is there anything else you want to do, Will?"
blinks, 'Now?'
nods. "Yeah."
shakes his head, 'You?'
sinks down to the grass. "...I wish I could fly."
looks over at Matthew, 'Isn't that what your Brother used to say?'
goes red in response, "What does that have to do with anything?"
smiles, 'Nothing... why do you want to fly?'
"Because the stars are pretty...Though I know better and know stars aren't jewels to be touched..."
looks up, 'Sometimes it's nice to pretend though.'
slowly brings his head down. "I've got you, though. It's the closest I'll get to that pretending."
William
is
confused. 'Oh? How's that?'
... "I can touch you. You aren't pretend."
doesn't know how he can compare to stars though. He nods, 'Hm, never feel like you can't... Unless I have the flu.'
gently hugs onto him. "Okay."
strokes his hair, feeling himself turn warm inside.
moves against him to get comfortable, "Mm..."
kisses his cheek, 'Don't you go to sleep on me out here.'
blushes against the kiss. "...Then keep me awake?"
smirks, kissing the junction where his ear meets his neck. 'I'll try my best... although I'm not promising anything.'
"It's okay...you always give me more than enough."
blushes, kissing his jaw. He half sighs, half laughs, 'Who knew you had so many lines?'
blinks. "...Dunno."
smiles, sitting up. 'Can we go back in the tent?'
nods, already moving to crawl back in.
stands up, wondering what they're going to do about the sleeping blanket... were they going to open it up... was it a two man one? He_
follows Matthew in after stamping out the fire, shoes left outside the tent.
blinks out of realisation, "I have to go get blankets. You get ready for bed." He gets up and runs to the house.
wanted to share the sleeping bag. He thought they had agreed on that. He gets ready though, pulling on the pair of sweats he brought with_
him.
must have been ahead of himself when he offered, 'cause the sleeping bag wasn't big enough for the both of them. When he returns, he lays
the different blankets down next to the sleeping bag. He rests himself down in one of the layers.
... guesses he has the sleeping blanket then. He snakes in, wiggling to get comfy. 'We should go Raving some time.'
turns onto his side, "Dunno what that is."
William
wonders
if it's away from him. 'It's like night clubbing but more extreme... and colourful.'
"Maybe you should take Mr. Switzerland."
sighs, rolling away from him.
gets out of the blankets, rubbing his eyes. "I'm just trying to give you good ideas. I want you to have fun, but, fine."
curls slightly, 'If I want to do something with Vash I invite him.'
"Whenever we go to do something, I just ruin it."
shakes his head, 'You don't and even if you did... doesn't mean I don't enjoy it.' Although he does remember the last time they went dancing
... vaguely.
shakes his head, too, "I don't know what raving is." It did not exactly thrive in Canada and when it did, not for long.
nods, looking back over his shoulder. 'Okay.' He snuggles back into the covers, 'A no is fine, you know?'
crawls out of the tent, "But I don't want to say no."
William
is
staying in the tent. 'You... I don't- I don't understand you sometimes.' He pulls the sleeping bag up over his head, childishly.
goes inside. To use the internet.
William
thinks
that's real authentic camping there... or would if he'd bothered to follow. He dozes off occassionally, leaving only to grab the cocoa from_
outside the tent.
comes back an hour or so later, crawling into his blankets to try to sleep.
William
is
asleep by then, a Bruce in his arms.
only leaves after, not wanting to get attacked or something. x_x;
doubts would attack him... although he was throwing glares in his direction because that's his default expression.
*Bruce would
just packs up everything besides the tent and the sleeping bag to take it inside where he sleeps. His how doubtful thoughts have him wake up
early to make a decent breakfast.
