he should visit Boss then? He looks just as grumpy as her Netherlands! The only difference, she thinks, is their gender.

doesn't feel like visiting him. And she seems to be very similar to Antonio... They even had the same smile.

the same good smile with the other Boss? Of course they have, silly! They're counterparts of each other, no?

"You can help me with picking the harvest~"

sighs. He has nothing else to do anyway. And it wouldn't be that hard, right?

"Okay then." He nods.

smiles at him and hugs him as her way of saying thank you. "Follow me then! .. oh, is this your first time harvesting tomatoes?"

stiffens a little at the hug and shakes his head. "I helped Antonio harvest them before. A long time ago..." He mumbles.

"I see~" She skips as she walked, feeling excited. "That's good to hear! I bet you're really good with your hands!"

pats him affectionately, like a parent would a child.

frowns a little at the petting, walking beside her. "Maybe. And how big is this harvest...?"

why both Netherlands don't like smiling... What's so hard with upturning the corner of your mouth...?

"Not so big... It's just from my personal garden, but working with more people is more fun!"

nods. "I see." He still doesn't know why he volunteered, apart from the fact that he is rather bored.

frowns and pouts, standing on her toes to pinch both his cheeks so that there's a forced smile on his face. "Stop being so gloomy!"

twitches and holds on to her hands, removing them from his face. "I'm not gloomy this is my normal face!" He frowns again.

frowns as well when he removed her hands from his face rather forcibly. "Well you can at least stop with the frowning..."

her a blank expressionless stare. "Better now?"

rather scared by this. ;A; She shakes her head. "No. Smile! Like this!" She smiles at him.

sighs a little in exasperation and he forces a smile on his face. "Happy now?"

nods. The smile's forced but it's better than nothing! "Yes! That's good enough!" She perks up when she saw the familiar outline of_

her garden. "Okay, we've arrived!"

shakes his head. Was she that easy to please? He stares at the garden. It wasn't that big. Thankfully. He wasn't planning on sticking long.

opens the gate, humming a children's song as she walked in. She waves at the other to follow her and prepares a basket to hand to him.

walks over and takes the basket, looking around the garden. "I'll start from that corner." He gestures and starts moving toward it.

looks at the direction he gestured to and nods, getting a basket for herself as well. "Just tell Boss if you need any help, alright?"

nods and starts picking tomatoes. Being rather tall, he has to bend down quite a bit to reach some of them.

looks at the tomatoes, a big smile forming on her face. This is one good harvest... "I wonder if I can make something good as a thank you.."

diligently picks the tomatoes, somewhat thankful for the cool weather. If it was any warmer he would have second thoughts about it.

shivers when a wind blew by. She continues on picking though, her brows furrowed in concentration.

glad for the scarf around his neck and continues picking, filling up the basket rather fast; the harvest was pretty large for a small garden

he should offer his scarf to Boss! >3<;; She's so used to warm weather...

turns to look around, and notices her shivering. He raises an eyebrow at that.

stops picking the tomatoes for a while before blowing out puffs of air to keep her hands warm.

sighs and shakes his head, walking over to her and pulling his scarf off and handing it to her. "Here." He mumbles.

blinks at the offered scarf before taking it and smiling warmly at him. "Gracias." She puts it around her neck and continues on harvesting.

just nods curtly and goes back to picking the tomatoes. He pauses for a moment, realising his basket has been filled. "The basket's full."

turns around to look at the basked, leaving hers to approach him. "Oh, you picked the best ones!" She took one and takes a bite from it.

"Want to try one?"

takes a tomato out of the basket, looking at it and then back at her. "You sure...?"

nods. "Yup! You should see how tasty they are. You have good eyes."

shrugs. It wasn't that hard to choose ripe tomatoes. He takes a bite out of the tomato and chews thoughtfully.

would like to disagree. >3<;; Not all ripe tomatoes are *this* tasty! "... Well~?"

continues chewing and swallows. "It's good." He continues eating the rest of the tomato.

"I'm glad you agreed with me. " She hums and turns her attention back to the half-eaten tomato.

finishes his tomato and looks at the garden. There are still other unharvested tomatoes. He wonders if they should continue...

they should! Right after she finish her tomato though. *A* She wants to eat more but...

looks at Isa. "Do you have any more baskets?" He notes that both their baskets were already full.

nods, her mouth full with tomatoes. She quickly tries to swallow it but almost chokes herself as a result. "I-It's... right there..."

coughs and points to the small corner where she pulled out her baskets before.

shakes his head as he pats her on the back when she chokes and coughs. Enthusiastic as usual. "I'll get them." He goes off in the direction_

she pointed in and grabs a few more baskets. He passes an empty basket to her.

doesn't like choking. DX She took the basket the other handed and mumbled a thank you, still trying to clear her throat from the strange _

aftertaste

nods and goes back to picking tomatoes. He wanted to finish this soon.

resumes her picking now. She keeps the scarf close to her and hums to fill in the silence.

listens to her humming as he silently picks the tomatoes.

doesn't notice that the other's listening. She smiles in triumph as she picks the last of the tomato from the plant. "I finished!"

also finished and stands up. "I finished as well. Where do we put these tomatoes...?"

takes the basket and feels a lot more happy than before since it's so heavy. And full with tomatoes. *A*

"In the storage! Lemme show you the way~"

follows her with his basket. It was rather heavy but he was strong enough to handle it. "Sure."

walks, slowly and carefully since she didn't want to risk squishing the tomatoes in the basket. She stopped right in front of the door to_

the small storage and reacher her pocket for keys.

stands behind her and waits for her to open the door.

opens up the door and winces a bit at the creaking sound. Ew. She takes the basket and brings it in, waiting for the other to come in.

follows her in and glances around the room, wondering where to place the baskets.

tilts her head in question when she saw him just... standing there and looking around. "Anything wrong?"
