still waiting for him, after filling the house with sunflowers she was content to just lie on his bed and stare at the ceiling.

opens the door and immediately wonders if this is really his house or not 8|

hears the door open, and immediately jumps up from the bed to hurry to the front door!

hears footsteps and wonders if he should turn around. He eventually decides yes because he wont be able to contemplate it soon and goes to--

hide behind a bush outside his house.

blinks, as she sees no one. She's sure she heard the door open! She wanders outside, searching around. "Brother? Are you out here?"

freezes and stays still. Somehow he knew this would happen.

searches for him. "Brotherrrr. It must be you! I've missed you so much, Brother! Where did you go?"

crouches a little further into the bush. He doesn't respond D:

continues searching, getting closer and closer to finding him. "Brother, why are you hiding? You must be here...Brother, come out!"

whimpers, he then remembers to shut up because noise = bad. ;A;

heard that! She moves closer to where the sound came from. "Brother, I only wish to see you again...I missed you so, so much!"

contemplating bolting again. But knowing Belarus he'd probably get caught anyway and just delay the inevitable.

nears a certain bush. "Brother! Are you behind here!?" She dives behind the bush, tackling him.

screams for half a second before face-planting on the ground.

clings to him tightly! "Oh Brother, I missed you so much!"

would talk but he has a mouthful of grass :I

blinks, as if realizing this, she lets him sit up, but keeps her grip around him tight. "Brother, what were you doing hiding back here?"

spits out grass and stares in a mortified manner. He still cant talk yet

continues clinging tightly to him! She missed him so much, she definitely won't be letting him out of her sight now!

((I have to go to bed. :c But I'll ttyl! <3))

[Alright <3]

flails as much as he... can in this position. "Belarus..."

doesn't let go. "Yes, Brother? Vanya, I missed you so..."

"I-I'd like to breathe, da?"

frowns. "What are you talking about, Brother?"

"Why can't you breathe?"

"Too tight!!" He wiggles.

frowns, but loosens her grip slightly, still snuggling him. "I missed youuuuu..."

glad he can at least breathe now. "Brother missed you too, da." *Technically* not a lie...

looks up at. "That is so wonderful to hear, Vanya~. Where were you gone all this time? I've waited so long..."

, "I was visiting a friend, da?" Another technical not-lie. He *was* a friend.

frowns, but decides to let it go. At least her Vanya returned! "At least you're here now, Brother~."

nods. He shifts a little uncomfortably.

looks up at him. "Are you uncomfortable, Brother? Do you want anything? I can get you anything you need!

about this, then nods. He might as well ask for something so he's not stuck hugging her all day... "Vodka." He answers. It was a drink he--

most missed

nods quickly, letting go of him to go fetch him a bottle. She quickly returns, handing it to him. "Anything else, Vanya?"

shakes his head. "No, brother is fine now, da?" he smiles a little, taking a long drink of the vodka.

nods, sitting with him again. She holds onto his arm, but gently, not with her usual death grip.

really did miss it, because the next few gulps are really long ones. He blinks at Belarus afterwards. "You waited all this time for me to--

come back da?"

nods. "Of course, Brother. I'll always wait for you."

about this a little, turning the bottle about in his hands before taking another drink. "Why didn't you come after me?" He thought surely--

she would.

pauses a moment, thinking of what to say. "...I tried to play hard to get. But it did not work, so I waited instead."

that it worked, except not in the way she wanted it to. It made him paranoid. "Thank you, Natalia." He said quite abruptly, surprising--

even himself a bit. He never thought he would be thanking his sister for... well...

looks up at him, a bit surprised, as even though she loves him, it's not often he thanks her. "Y-Your very welcome, Brother...But you don't-

need to thank me, I'd do anything for you."

shrugs. "Thanking is a way of showing appreciation, da?" At least, he thought it was. Anyway, he hoped his thank wouldn't spawn into more--

crazy stalker business.

simply nods, not wanting to argue with her beloved brother, instead changes the subject. "Do you like all the sunflowers I got you, Vanya?"

nods. "They are beautiful." He honestly loves them. He hopes they will never wilt.

smiles. "I'm very glad to hear that, Brother...I hoped it would be a good welcome home."
