Vivi
is
setting up things for the dinner with Niko~ Humming to herself as she starts preparing the food.
knocks on her door, not really dressed up but not wearing his work clothes. He waited patiently, reviewing in his mind how to cook.
came to the door wearing her apron and smiled. "Hello~" opening the door wider for him to walk in.
walks in, handing her a small bouquet of tulips. "You've started cooking already? What are you making?"
blinks, not expecting the flowers, but smiled warmly. " Wow.. thanks.." she took them and sniffed them deeply. "Oh Waterzooi~ it takes a_
while for it to cook so I started the basics. "she closed the door behind him, then leading the way into the kitchen, even though it wasn't_
really a date, she thought she'd at least put on something nicer on~ thus wearing a pencil skirt to show off her legs and a drooping neck_
top. "I hope that's alright.."
shudders, but shakes it off. "Ja, that's fine. I know how to make it the *right* way at least." Takes off his gloves and puts them in his_
pocket, exposing his hand which wasn't that healed. Takes off his coat and hangs it on the back of a near by chair. "Where should I start?"
puts the flowers in a vase, filling it up before turning. " If you don't like it, we can cook something else.." She offered, placing a hand
upon her hip. "I do like to think of myself as a pretty decent cook, thank you very much."
shrugs. "Just that dish... people always argue about it. Some claim it's Dutch, while the others say it's Belgien."
nods. " I see~ Well I also have.. *Snert* I think that's how you call it.." she smiled a bit. " Well~ it's food right? in my cookbook_
it says its Dutch~ so we'll say it is.. and you can help make it more so~" she opened the fridge and leaned in to grab him a cold beer._
"Here~ a light brand, just for you."
smirks as he grabs the beer and opens it, taking a sip. "Dank u. And it doesn't matter, I'm just teaching you how to cook it anyways. _
Cook whatever you want to eat.
lifted a brow, lifting the glass of wine she already poured for herself and slipping. "Well this is all for you too silly~"
blinks at her, just about to take another sip but lowers his beer. "Why? I thought I was here to show you how to cook."
"Well why not? Plus you're here anyway~ and I can't eat all this." she smiled checking the simmering pots. "Think of it as a thank you for_
coming and helping~"
smirks and drinks some beer. "Alright then. Once you know how to cook this properly though you can easily make enough to last a week."
smiles into her glass, sipping again. " Alright then~ I don't mind leftovers"
puts his drink down, looking at all the pots. "You seem to have things under control, there's nothing wrong by the looks of it." _
Stirs one of the pots with his bad hand, then checks on another.
glanced at his hand and frowned a bit. " Does it still hurt?" she asked stepping over to watch what he was doing, taking mental notes.
shakes his head. "Nee. I've been through much worse before. This..." He lifts his hand to examine it, deep cuts still fresh looking. "This_
Søren
is
nothing."
without thinking, took it to caress it gently with a sad expression and let go before he could freak out. " Well.. just take care of_
yourself.. okay?" she asked, looking up to him, then jumped at the feeling of fur against her leg. "Toph~" she swooped down to pick up the_
cat, petting it gently. "Toph, this is Niko~ Niko, Toph."
the slightest blush came to his cheeks as she held his hand. "J-ja, I will." He look at the cat for a minute before holding his hand out_
in front of it, allowing it to sniff him.
smiled as the cat leaned in to smell his hand, then automatically purring and nuzzling him. "Woah~.. She's never done that before." shocked_
Ly scratched the cats head. " She usually is fairly skittish with new people.."
smirks. "Maybe she smells the bunny on me. And would perhaps like to make her her next meal." Chuckles slightly, petting her.
laughs a bit before putting her down. "Maybe.. but she's pretty harmless~" turned to check the pots agian, adding a few more things to them_
then drained the rest of her glass of wine, reaching for the bottle to pour herself more.
keeps an eye on her, as well as the dinner. "You seem to know what you're doing, you don't really need me here." Picks up his beer and sips.
smirks a bit before turning, " I knew how to cook this before..." She giggled. "I just wanted you to come over to join me~ so I fibbed a_
bit, BUT your getting a free meal and I wasn't *100* percent sure I was doing it right so you did help~ plus. " sipped. " You're my friend."
looks at her, a little irritated. "You didn't even need my help? Then... what was the point?" Crosses his arms._
"You seem to do fine without me, so why did you want me here?"
tilts her head. " Didn't I just say because you're my friend.. and I like your company, believe it or not.. plus you wouldn't of came over_
if I just asked...." she sighed.. "look im sorry~ But would you really leave now?? It's almost done.. and I'd really appreciate the_
company.." she pouted a bit into her glass before looking up at him with the biggest doe eyes. " Please..?"
rolls his eyes. "That look doesn't work on me. But I'll say, mainly because it'd be a waste of food and beer if I left now."
"Yay!" She chimed, knowing it didn't work but she gave it a shot. Time passes and the meal is finished and all set out, " Well~" she_
placed his dish full of food down. "Eat whenever you wish.." she scooted over to the fridge and grabbed him a fresh beer, taking his empty.
smirks, sitting down and looking over the food. It smelled so good... "Dank u, for the meal. And the booze." Starts eating, smiling_
at how good it tasted.
laughs a bit as she sits down herself, but halted before she began to eat to watch him, feeling pretty good about how she did. " So.." she_
started, forking up some. " Do I pass..?"
wondered if the silence meant it passed. Chuckling, she took her glass and sipped while watching him....she seemed to like doing that.
nods, after finishing most of it. "Ja. It's good. Pretty good for a foreigner at least." Says jokingly, looking up to notice her staring.
blushed when she was caught, forking up more of it. "W-well im glad I could live up to your standards."
nods. "It's rare that people do." Finishes the last bit, then puts the fork down and leans back. He closes his eyes and licks his lips._
"I'm glad I ended up staying."
Smiles... happy to hear that. "Im also glad you stayed aswell... and feel free to have more if your still hungry."
shakes his head. "Nee, I'm pretty full." He takes a deep breath, extremely satisfied being full. "Are you done?" Tilts his head slightly.
finishing up the last few bites, she nods
"Dutch food is very filling!" she smiled. "I'm glad it turned out well."
smirks. "Ja, it can be. You don't need a lot of it, so it's always good when you want to have some meals for a few days..." He gets up and_
grabs his plate, then walks over and collects hers, bringing them to the sink. Automatically he starts to clean them.
Vivi
was
just about to do that but was beaten, a bit shocked all she was able to do was mutter a thank you.. then settled back to enjoy watching_
him... he had a nice back... "Niko.. could you tell me something about yourself?"
downs the rest of her wine again with a sigh. "You don't have too.. sorry I asked.."
shrugs, and continues washing. "Why? Is there any point really?" He kept his look down, concentrating on his task.
took the rest of the things off the table and puttin them away. " Well it's to get to know one another more.." she explained, leaning on_
her fridge, watching him. "But its fine, forget I said anything." Obviously disappointed by this but finished clearing the table and putting
the leftovers away.
"Why would someone want to get to know me though?" Winces slightly as the hot water stings at his hand.
came up beside him, grabbing a dry tea towel and began to dry the dishes he washed. " Because I want to know more about you. I find you_
interesting and fun." she smiled.
chuckles. "Fun? Interesting? You're an odd one then. No one else finds me like that. There's not much about me though anyways."
tilted her head to look at him. "Well they're all crazy~ And Im sure there is more than you think~.. What something you like to pass your_
time doing? Reading? Watching Movies?" giving him some ideas.
shrugs. "Drinking, working in my garden..." He paused to think of something more, but just shrugged again. "That's about it."
well it was a start, she thought with a nod."I love gardening too~" she piped up, drying the last of the dishes, drying her hands and_
proceeded to hand him the towel. "I enjoy it, it
it's soothing." as she spoke, she walked to the table to retrieve her empty glass to fill it half full her eyes watching him.
dries one hand while merely shaking the other, not wanting to stain the towel. "Ja. I like to see how my tulips grow and bloom,_
and I like taking care of them. It feels good knowing that you can make something that others can appreciate..."_
Smiles slightly, glancing over to the tulips he gave her.
nodded.. "Yeah... it makes it all the more enjoyable.." she looked at his hand.. " Hold on a moment.." as she said that she dashed out of_
the kitchen and up the stairs.
returning shortly after with her first aid kit. " Here~" she took his sore hand and examined it. before gently peeling off the old bandages_
and opening the kit to take out a tube of ointment to help heal and disinfect the cuts. Her fingers trailed along his hand softly, a caring_
look in her eyes. After a few moments of silence, she was able to wrap it up with fresh bandages and stepped back. "All better.."the woman_
glanced up and smiled.
flinches slightly when she took his hand, but allowed her to take care of it. He couldn't help but watch her hand trail up his. _
His cheeks went a little red, but he looked away trying to hide it. "D... Dank u."
eyes softened as she smiled more. " Don't mention it~ you should take care of your hands.." she glanced down at it... "They do wondrous_
things.." again, she glanced up, taking a step forward... uh oh.. her wine was kicking in a bit. " Your garden is stunning.. I can tell you_
really cherish it.."
"I do take care of them, they've never failed me before..." Looks at her, his cheeks darkening. "J-ja, my garden I'm very proud of._
I put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it... a lot of effort." Glances at his hand again, smirking to himself.
nods. " I can tell~" she leaned back to slip her glass. "Would you care to see my backyard? I am quite curious on how you think of it.."
blinks at her, then nods. "Ja, sure." He grabs his beer and takes a sip, then waits to be lead out.
leads the way, opening her sliding door and turning on the outdoor lamps from the switch just before stepping out._
"Tadah!" she giggled. " Feel free to look!" _
heres my pond...("here's my pond...")
( Just so you get a sense of what it looks like (( Just so you get a sense of what it looks like ))
leans against her door frame, smiling as he walks around.
walks around, admiring everything he saw. He lingered around the pond. "Very nice. Reminds me of Japan..."
koifish came up to visit for a moment. " Kiku did influence... as well as Yao~" she nodded, stepping away from the door-frame.
watches the fish, smirking more. "Japan is a good role model most times..." Sips his beer, feeling calm in this environment.
sat down in her swinging chair. "Glad you like this.."
"It is quiet the view..." Turns to look at her, unable to help the smile forming on his lips.
eyes widened a bit, a small blush creeping along her cheeks. Then, smiling, she set her glass down and got up to walk towards him. "Your_
approval means a lot to me... you know."
sips from his beer. "It does? ...Why? You have very good taste in what a good garden is..."
"Because.." she halted to a stop right in-front of him, " As I have said, You're a friend.. and..*bởi vì tôi thích bạn.*" she murmured_
under her breath as she gazes in the pond.
raises a brow and tilts his head. "And...? I'm not that familiar with your language." Tilts his head back to take another drink, _
then looks into the pond as well.
"I like you." she translated, crouching down to skim her fingers along the surface of the pond. the dimmed lights that were reflecting began
to dance around as the ripples grew.
laughs slightly. "That's surprising, only a few can seem to handle me. Others won't even approach me." Puts a hand in his pocket _
and takes another sip, feeling quite content.
chuckles, still crouched as she watches the koi fish. "Well you're gonna have to get use to it." As she spoke she finally lifted herself up_
standing beside him and turned. "Because I like your company.." she reached out to place a hand on his arm caressing it ever so gently,_
before returning it to her side.
"Hope that doesn't freak you out much." she grinned.
sighs. "It's a little comforting knowing that someone likes to be around me..." Watches her movements, flinching unintentionally_
when she touches him. A faint blush covers his cheeks again and he looks away.
frowned abit at the flinch but shook it off. her bright brown eyes watching him. "For anything I have done to upset you, I am very sorry.."
shrugs. "It's fine... someone has to do it once in a while anyways." Takes a long sip from his beer, gazing into the pond.
sighs and turns to head back to her porch, lifting her wine glass. " Well then~ I'll do it for you." she teased and lifted her glass as a_
toast.
chuckles and lifts his beer in response. "Good to know it's someone who won't stab me in the back later." Jokes, smiling.
Vivi
was
actually surprised he said a joke. Laughing in response she sat back down on the swinging porch, slowly crossing her legs with a bit of_
difficulty due to her tight skirt. "You can come over anytime.. okay?" she smiled. " Since you seem to enjoy the garden.."
really feeling the wine now but not sgo
showing much of it, she puts the glass down and pats the empty spot beside her.
slowly makes his way over. "Dank u... I really love the outdoors. So much colour and beauty..."_
Smiles at her, blushing when she crossed her legs. He sits beside her, looking up to the sky.
chuckles, patting his leg a bit. " No need to thank me. Thank YOU for coming over and spending time with me."
blushes more, watching as his leg was touched. "D-dank u for dinner at least... you did a good job."
smiles and leans back. "I'm glad you approve~ I enjoy cooking so feel free to come over if you wish~" sighed and rested her head on his_
shoulder.
stiffens when she leans on him, and he glances over to her. "I might visit once in a while in that case..."
a smile still plastered upon her face as she sighs, closing her eyes. "That makes me happy~"
smirks a little. "I can't turn down a free meal, saves me from making anything..." Laughs quietly.
pouts a bit. " Only the food interests you~ I see."
shrugs. "Food and company, I'd say." Smiles at her. "
hearing no response she lifted her head to glance up at him... "Well Im sure Im just boring you now... whenever you wish to go, feel free."
shrugs. "I'm in no rush to leave. It's calm here, and quiet... I really like it. And you keep everything so clean and nice... _
heh, you should clean my house some time." Jokes and laughs about it.
's worry fades a bit as she chuckles with a shrug. "If you found yourself a woman Im sure they would do it..." she murmured, not exactly_
knowing what she said/meant there.
(if you dont wanna rp this anymore,just tell me... lol..)
((Oh hey wow, this didn't update for me. My bad~))
shrugs. "Even if I did, she'd probably get sick of cleaning up my house. It's mostly just bottles of alcohol lying around,_
besides that it's pretty clean... I need to keep it clean or else my pet might get sick. And I won't risk that."
(LOL WHY ARE YOU UP YOU CRAZY LADY! XD)
((... It's the weekend. I stay up late. -w-))
glanced up with a smile. "I doubt they will get bored. Im not bored of you."
smirks. "You're one of the only. Not many others have even been in my house..." Sighs. "Now that I think about it, I don't know if I'd like_
some random cleaning my house actually..."
nods. " I can see why, Its your space so having someone clean it is like someone looking through your underwear drawer and finding your _
kinky stuff that you didnt want to show anyone....minus your partner or whatever." she finished with a sigh.
laughs, looking over at her with a faint blush. "Ja, in a way I guess..." Smirks. "I like my life to be known only by me, no one else_
needs to know..."
pondered a moment, "not even with someone you love?..or like or whatever?" she asked, now lifting her head
her gaze*, doe like eyes watching him from under her lashes.
shrugs, looking away shyly. "I've not met someone, and I'm beginning to doubt I will. But it'd still take a long time for me to trust then."
.... slowly looked down and began to shift away. "O-oh.. I see." the small woman began to chew on her bottom lip as her heart sank a bit.
glances down at her. "What about you? Anyone you have your eyes set upon?" Smirks.
shrugs abit. "Even if I did... they wouldnt be interested..."
"How do you know? People are good at hiding their emotions a lot of the time. Don't loose hope." Smirks down at her, rubbing _
her back a little to comfort her.
"...because.." she began, "He just said it..." as she finished, she turned her head to look up with a sheepish grin and reddened cheeks.
returns her gaze, a confused look on his face. "Hmm? How? I thought I was the only one here..."
blinks then begins to laugh, unable to stop right away. "Haha! You really dont know....?" wiped a tear from her eye, trying to settle. "I _
guess you wouldnt know.. but then again you have Norway right?" her smile suddenly turned into a sad smile with a small sigh.. "I dont_
blame you though... hes very attractive.. and it seems everyman around here likes only men... I wouldnt be surprised if you did too."
blinks at her, confused. "What are you talking about?" He blushes a little looking away. "N-norway... he's..." Shakes his head. "He just_
had a divorce, I'm just trying to comfort him... I'm sure he'd want to be alone for a while and enjoy life. Without any attachments."
"Sorry... I drank too much wine.." she shook her head. "And thats very kind of you to be there for him.."
nods. "I just want to make sure he'll be okay, so I'm planning on keeping an eye on him..." Looks back down to her. "But... what were _
you meaning earlier?"
shakes her head. "Oh nothing... sorry.. I must be tired or something." she gave him a shy laugh...
frowns. "I don't like it when people hide things from me. And if you're tired then I should let you sleep."
sighs, "I guess I was jealous.. because if you liked norway.. there was no way I would have a chance.." she explained with a chuckle_
, curling hair around her ear. "Now you know."
blushes, but keeps looking at her. "O-oh... I... I see..." He fidgets with his fingers. "I'm sorry... I'm not use to others paying_
attention to me, so I'm... kind of oblivious at times." Chuckles awkwardly.
waves a hand infront of her face. " It's fine.. to be honest I wouldn't blame you if you didn't like me, haha. I'm fairly boring and plain."
smirks. "You're not boring or plain. You're calm and caring, and that's important." Puts a hand on her head, smiling down at her.
's cheeks darken as she glances down, averting his gaze. " You think so...?'
nods. "I know so. You were the one who bandaged me up, and took care of me when I was drunk. That takes a lot of effort." Laughs.
laughs along with. "Well I can manage I have 4 bothers that need it." with that, she rested her head upon his shoulder again. "Won't you_
tell me something about yourself?.. Just one thing? Please?"
sighs. "There's nothing much to say really... I spend most of my time at home, getting drunk. Occasionally go out for walks, _
but not often." Shrugs. "Is there anything you specifically want to know?"
"Your favorite color." she asked,nuzzling in a bit.
smirks. "Orange. Definitely."
"Fave animal."
Søren
thinks
for a moment. "... Rabbit."
"Favorite personality trait."
frowns... "I have no idea..."
chuckles and pats his arm. " It's alright~ But thank you for sharing those with me~.. it means alot.."
smiles. "It's not a problem, and I'm glad... so what about you? Colour, animal, trait...?"
Ponders a moment. "Red, Tiger and someone who doesn't mind cuddling with me even if it's behind the scenes.."
smiles and puts an arm around her. "Those are good things..." He says quietly.
felt his shift in body weight as the arm came around her, her head jerked to the side then up at him, gulping a bit, her cheeks darkening_
even more. "Y-you.. think so?"
nods, smiling at the colour in her cheeks. "Ja. I think red suits you. And Tigers are interesting to look at..."
"I think so too.." she agreed, her eyes lowering to focus on his lips for a moment before returning to his eyes, "What's.. your fave fruit?"
blinks at her. "Haven't thought about that. Strawberries are probably one of my favourite. The kind I grow at pretty good."
"Is that so?" eyes returning to watch his lips. "I would like to taste your Strawberries sometime then~" she said with a smile
smirks. "I think that can be arranged. I have a green house and could probably get some in no time." Notices that she's looking at his _
lips and he licks them, thinking there might be something on them.
as he did that, she giggled and lifted her gaze to his eyes again. "You wanna know something?" she almost whispered, leaning in a bit.
smirks a little. "Sure." Leans down a bit to get closer to her to listen.
runs her tongue along the top of her lips with a smile trailing at the end. " My lip-gloss tastes like Strawberries~" leaned in closer._
"Wanna taste..?" she asked, lifting a brow.
moves back a bit. "I highly doubt that your lip-gloss would taste like strawberries." Raises his brow at her, but jokes about what he said.
pulls back and giggles. "Haha I know, I was teasing"
smirks. "You little trickster..." He ruffles her hair a little.
stucks
sticks out her tongue as her hair is ruffled. "I try~" with that, she yawned and rested her head again upon his shoulder.
smirks down at her. "You should probably get some rest... you seem tired..." Pats her on the head.
nods lazily. "Perhaps..."
"Would you like help getting to bed?" He says quietly.
nods again. "alright.."
keeps his arm around her and helps her up, guiding her back into the house. "Where's your bedroom?"
places her arm around his waist. "up the stairs and the first one on the right... the master bedroom..."
blushes slightly at the contact and follows her directions, getting to the room and opening it for them. He walks her to the bed _
and removes his arm. "This good enough for you? Can you manage without help?"
"Hmmmm..." she flopped over on her bed, about to pass out, her hand reaching out to grab his hand lazily." dont... go..
please.. "
blushes worse and nods. He sits on the side of her bed, making sure she's still comfortable.
shifts herself closer to him. "Niko.."
"Ja?" He asks looking at the covers as he pulls them over her a little.
"I like you..." she murmurs gently, her hand squeezing his.
frowns slightly. He squeezes her hand in responce. "You should try to sleep now..." He says quietly.
nods, a small smile on her lips as she starts to drift off.
smiles and uses his other hand to move some hair behind her ear. "Goednacht, Vietnam..."
