would offer him company but she's sure that he hates her. =w=
doesn't hate her at all, even if she is mildly irritating sometimes...
the English man should go shopping! That always helps her when she's bored and lonely.
nothing to shop for, other than food... but grocery shopping is left for Sundays.
he could go shopping for tea or something right...? Or fancy pocket watches or whatever he likes.
there is no use in shopping for pocket watches when he already has plenty. His house is -never- low on tea, but he'd thank her for trying.
taps her cheeks. "You never just go to the mall to see what neat stuff is there?!"
raises an eyebrow. "No. There's no point in doing that, if I'm not going to buy anything."
smiles and shakes her head. "Maybe you'll see this awesome shirt you have to have or a nice hat. You'd look nice if you had a cool hat." >u,
>u< /by cool she means cowboy hat but she doesn't say that out loud.
. "I've already enough shirts, though, and I'm not interested in getting a hat." A pause, "Do you even wear everything you buy?"
grins and nods excitedly. "Of course I do! I love wearing new things!"
hums, considering that. "Does Ann enjoy shopping too? Do you know?"
about it. "... Um. I dunno. The only time I hang out with Ann is for tea parties. Like when I was little."
frowns. So even in the other world, they were still... "You ought to visit her more often, then. She'll appreciate your company."
furrows her brow. "I doubt that. not after that game we played. She's probably pissed at me."
raises an eyebrow, curious. "What game? What did you do?"
shakes her head. "We were playing a game. Like a whole bunch of us. It's a game of dares. And everyone gets a random number each round so no
one knows who's daring who to do what and she got my dare... and she didn't' like it much."
frowns. "That's only answering the first half; what'd you make her do?"
siiiighs. "Well Russia was already naked from someone else's dare. And my dare was for the first person to wear only some assless chaps
and... rodeo the second person.. who was Russia..."
pauses, letting that process, before staring at her, looking utterly mortified. "Why would you-- bloody hell, that's..." He shakes his_
head, sighing. "It won't be that hard to apologize, then, would it?"
laughs and thinks about it. "Well... it was a game. And she agreed to play. It wasn't like I was picking on her. She just... got my dare."
purses his lips, almost feeling embarrassed for her. "Well... in any case, just don't mention it. Perhaps you can go shopping with her, in_
my stead. I'm not certain how I'd be able to help, if I went with her."
about this and taps her lip. "I think she's more upset at Sakura actually. Sakura took pictures and videos and stuff." She tilts her head
and scrunches her nose. "But if you don't wanna go with me I doubt she'd wanna go shopping either."
shakes his head. "I personally don't have any qualms with going; I just don't think I'd be the best companion to do this with. And_
besides, she did mention wanting to go to purchase new clothes, but... I doubt I'll be of any help."
blinks at him in surprise. "Oh! I only suggested that cause you looked bored.I was being a heroine and saving you."
rolls his eyes. "Of course. How very noble of you."
shrugs and smiles happily, completely missing the sarcasm. "Oh I know.'
sighs. "You're hopeless, just like him. What are you even doing here? Go shopping, or whatever it is that you said you do for fun."
laughs happily and stands up on her tiptoes to catch him around the neck and pulling him down into a bearhug, his face pressed against her
chest. "Awwwww but you look so lonely! Let's hang out!"
reddens, going slack for a moment before immediately trying to pull away. "I-- A-Alicia! Let go of me, you daft git...!"
laughs and just gives him a much too tight hug. "We should do something fun to make you stop being so huffy."
almost chokes, flailing wildly. "A... Alicia Jones, release me this instant!" His face was completely red out of embarassment.
laughs and snatches him up, throwing the flustered British man over her shoulder. "Time to go the park or something."
Splutters, eyes widening as he begins struggling again. "I'm not joking! This is kidnapping, let me down! It's too bloody cold to go!"
laughs at this but completely stops at the mention of the cold. "... I hate the cold...." She pouts. She didn't want to go back out in it.
Frowns, waiting impatiently. "Yes, so let me down! I'm not just some sack of rice you can hoist over your shoulder whenever you want!"
about this and hums to herself, trying to decide what to do. "Let's order pizza! ... THey have pizza in England right? Good pizza, I mean."
Rolls his eyes. "Of course we have pizza here! I'll order some, so, for the last time, put me down!"
pats his backside before putting him down. "Hurray! I like pizza!"
huffs, still slightly red from embarrassment as he steadies himself. "I'm ordering from the local pizza place, though; none of your
Pizza Hut, or whatever it was."
smiles at him. "Local pizza places are great too!"
sighs, nodding before retrieving his phone. "What would you like as toppings?"
about it. "... Pepperonis."
nods, dialing the local pizza parlour and placing an order for a large pepperoni pizza. "It'll be here in around half an hour."
smiles and claps happily. "Awesome! I can't wait!"
sighs, moving to make some tea. "I don't have any soda, though, so you'll have to settle for either juice, water, or tea."
about it. "... Oh. That's gross." 8(
chuckles a bit. "Does that mean you want tea?"
about it. "... Do you have sugar?"
nods. "But you're not allowed to fill half the cup with it."
smiles innocently. "I won't." Of course she will.
hums, and prepares two cups. "I'll prepare your tea, then."
smiles at this, clapping. "To pass the time until pizza."
smiles a bit, being a little generous with the sugar... but only by a little bit. "I'm adding three cubes."
smiles and nods, waiting until he's not looking to snatch a few cubes of sugar. >w< "Thank you~!"
nods, handing her the tea with a pleased smile. "You're welcome. I'm glad to see that you've still some taste, after all these years."
smiles and leans up to kiss his cheek- DISTRACTION TECHNIQUE- as she slips the oter cubes into her tea. "Thank you~!"
blinks, flushing as he stills for a moment. "Y... You're welcome. You didn't have to do that; saying it once was enough."
laughs softly and stirs her tea, baby blues sparkling at him. "Awwww don't like kisses?"
huffs, staring down at his own tea before sipping, hiding his embarrassment behind the cup. "You just... don't do it often, that's all."
laughs. "I like how huffy it makes you. It's like you hate affection."
frowns. "I do not. You're just too... open with it."
laughs and shakes her head. "See? Huffy. Like Ann but kinda sorta manly."
sips his tea. "That's because she -is- me. Or... my female counterpart."
nods a little and sips her sugary tea. "Mmmmm. I guess that's true but you're still a dude so you're different."
take that as a compliment. "Thank you... I suppose...?"
just sort of saying the truth. "Um. okay. Welocme man."
opens his mouth to reply, but the bell rings. "That must be the pizza. One moment." He grabs his wallet and heads to the door.
squirms happily and waits for him to come back >u<
comes back with a large box of pizza, and sets it on the table. "Remember to chew before you swallow."
"Yeah, yeah!" and takes a piece, stufing half of it in his mouth.
just watches her eat, sighing before standing up and heading towards the door again. "I'll be back in five minutes."
blinks and stops. "Huh b't I thgh't'ya w's h'ngry."
, "Don't talk with your mouth full," before leaving the house. He comes back a few minutes later, ears red from the cold outside, but
holding a can of Coke. "Here."
blinks when he comes back with a coke and she throws her her hands joyously. She gives him a kiss again, though this time she leaves a
bit of pizza sauce on his cheek.
grimaces, looking absolutely disgusted as he gets a napkin to wipe it off. "Alicia, that's disgusting! Wipe your mouth as you eat!"
laughs and goes back to her food, heedless.
sighs, exasperated. "You're going to choke, if you keep eating like that."
shakes her head and smiles at him. "I won't!"
frowns, though he contents himself to rest his chin on his palm and watch her devour the pizza.
shoves a piece into his hand!
does not want any! "...You can eat it," he says, putting it back down on the box and wiping his hand.
pouts at him and shrugs. "Your loss."
glances at the pizza. "...I believe it's more of my win, but... alright. Wipe your mouth, Alicia, you've sauce all over your lips."
licks her lips clean and smiles at him. "Better?"
sighs, nudging the napkin towards her even though he knows that she won't use it. "I suppose."
smiles and finishes off the last piece of pizza she thinks she can handle for now. =w=
looks at what few slices are left. "...Your appetite never ceases to..." Disgust. Appall. "...Amaze me."
hums a little at this and shrugs. "I like food." =w=
closes the box. "I can tell. You should walk around a bit..."
flops over his lap. "Nap time~!" she coos happily.
stiffens, looking down at her with wide eyes. "W-- What do you think you're doing?! Go take a nap on the couch, or the bed...!"
shakes her head and squirms. "Comfy. Too late. I'mma nap here."
blushes, trying to think of a way out. "But-- I-- j-just go sleep on the bed...! It's comfier, there!"
smiles and stretches, murmuring, "Naw, I'm fine.' =w=
up, trying his best to put on an irritated expression. "...Just for an hour, then," he says, leaning back against his chair. "I'm waking you
smiles and settles down on her arms, expression becoming more peaceful. "Mmkay," she murmurs softly.
sighs, hesitating before reaching out to stroke her hair. "Goodnight, then, Alicia."
leans into the touch just a bit, already dozing a little. She forgets-- with such a familiar aura to Ann's-- that this is the male version.
finally murmurs, "Night Annie..." like when she was small though clearly she's asleep.
blinks, surprised, before smiling. "I wish you'd tell her that, not me."
curls in a little closer, sleeping lightly but happily. She's always happiest when she's full.
watches her sleep, briefly being reminded of her counterpart before sighing. He gently shakes her awake two hours later, having been unable
finally sits up and rubs her eyes. "huhhhhh? Where am I?" she murmurs, confused...
leans back a bit. "You're at my house," he answers, "You fell asleep after eating pizza. Remember?"
nods and leans over until her head is against England's shoulder. "Mhm, I remember..." she keeps rubbing at her eyes sleepily.
stiffens momentarily, uncertain whether he ought to be irritated (not quite) or embarrassed. "Y... You should've gone to the bed to sleep.."
rubs her eyes sleepily. "D'ya have some coffee or something to wake me up...?" she mumbles sleepily.
nods. "I should have a bit left." He taps her shoulder lightly, "Get off of me, and I'll make you some."
really dazed and confused when she's half asleep and the tap to her nose makes her feel dizzy for a minute. She sits up but she wobbles in
goes and makes her some coffee. It's the English kind, but... coffee, nonetheless. "Here," he says, holding it out. "Be careful, it's hot."
smiles and takes it sleepily. She does burn herself and murmurs a soft 'ow', but she's too sleepy to really care.
chuckles a bit, watching her. "I told you to be careful. Blow it before you drink."
rubs at her eye again and nods, murmuring something unintelligibly. She sips at it. "S'good."
pleased to hear that. "Is there anything else you usually do to wake up?"
shrugs and keeps drinking her coffee, slowly waking up.
goes to make scones, then. He comes back after placing them in the oven. "Perhaps a little snack will help, then."
blinks at him and sniffs the air. "I don't want British food."
rolls his eyes a bit. "Don't be picky. I'm making some for myself, not just you."
shakes her head and laughs. "I'm surprised you're alive after eating that junk."
frowns. "It's normal food. You're just too picky."
shakes her head. "IF you cook like Ann, it's toxic."
huffs indignantly. "Our cooking is -fine-! Don't eat it, if you don't want to, then! I'll just enjoy it by myself."
shakes her head. "I won't eat it."
scowls a bit. "It... wasn't for you, anyway." He crosses his arms, displeased.
huffs. "Well good cause I don't want it." >3>
smells burning, and quickly makes his way back to the kitchen. He returns later with a plate of nice, black scones. "...You can take one,
makes a face. "Disgusting." >A>
frowns, picking one and spreading some jam over it before eating. "You used to love it as a child. Or at least, your... counterpart did."
frowns. "Thats because I didn't know what real food tasted like."
comes in the house, shivering and holding some bags.
blinks and looks up... OAO
scowls. "Yes you d-- oh, that must be Ann. Go say hello."
shakes her head and huffs. >3>
siiiighs. "I told you she still is probably upset about that game." =3=
takes a bite out of his scone. "She isn't. Go say hello."
pouts. "How do you know...?" >3>
smiles slightly. "She's me; I would know."
siiiighs. "Hey Ann? Issat you? Hi." /said hello. =3=
chuckles. "Go up to her and say hello. Help her with the groceries."
GOES RED, running around the corner. "Why is Alicia here?!"
blinks at her when she darts around the corner. "... Oh shit calm down. You're gonna hurt yourself."
