trying to avoid his roommate was wandering around the deck enjoying the beautiful weather.

notices a shadow near him and looks up. "Oh.. H-Hello S-S-Sweden." He stutters. Oh gosh, that man's tallness never ceased to astound him.

looked down in surprise. He hadn't seen the small nation sitting on the floor. "Hej…" He nodded quietly and rested his hands on the railing.

fell to awkward silence. Talking to the tall nation had always been hard for him. Maybe he should at least try? "H-How are you l-l-liking

the c-c-cruise?"

frowned, wondering why he stuttered so much. He understood that some people thought he was scary, but he thought he'd always been nice to

Latvia. He knelt down on the ground besides him and folded his legs. "'s g'd. Are y' 'njoy'n' 't?"

rests his chin on his arms, staring out at the horizon. "It's... N-Nice. I l-like it h-here."

nodded in quiet agreement. It was a nice escape.

continues staring out at sea. "It's a g-good thing I'm u-used to f-feeling s-small. The ocean is j-just s-so big. I s-sometimes wonder how

you b-bigger c-countries f-feel. B-Being all... Well b-big all the t-time."

shrugged. "'s not th't h'rd… j'st n'd l'ng'r p'nts."

laughs quietly at that. He didn't know Sweden could actually be funny? "It's h-hard t-to f-find pants s-small enough f-for me. I usually

have t-to t-take them in m-myself."

nodded. "Us'lly m'ke m' own p'nts."

blinks after figuring out what he just said. "You m-make them? W-Wow..."

"'s n't th't h'rd." He said with a shrug. He'd gotten used to sewing clothes for himself and Finland for years. It was a nice skill to have.

isn't sure if he should really ask this question, but he's going to take a chance here. "D-D-Do you think you c-could t-t-teach me

s-s-sometime?"

surprised by the question and had to stare at him for a minute. He couldn't help but smile and nod. "'d love t'."

fidgets while Sweden stares at him. Oh look, he got the expressionless Sweden to smile! "Th-Thank y-y-you."

nodded. "Wh't've y' d'ne s' f'r on th' cr'se?" He asked, realizing he had no idea what there was to do on the boat.

shrugs. "N-Not m-much. I went s-swimming, and I ch-checked the b-bar out with A-America. That's it s-s-so f-far."

"How w's 't?" He asked, he hadn't seen the pool or the bar yet.

(sex. thats what you do on a cruise ship. that rocking isnt just from the waves~ ;D -brick;d-)

(( LOL ))

(*goes back to lurking*)

(xD Oh Russia~ *friendly smack*)

(^J^ *presses down on his head*)

( ;~: )

(( ;u; ))

smiles at the though of it. "It was f-fun."

nodded. "Th's g'd."

returns to the silence, staring out at the ocean absent-mindedly.

watched the smaller nation for a moment before looking back at the water with a smile. It was nice to see the Baltic's away from Russia.

would let Sweden know that it was nice being away from Russia had he voiced that opinion.

(....*feels kinda sad and lonely now*)

(Oh hush, we're making babies on skype.)

( *gasp* )

(xDDD pfftt. SHHH. no one is supposed ta know bout that. And blame England for not watching his potions better. That cabinet is just asking

to be raided.)

glanced at Ravis curiously. He looked healthier than the last time he'd talked with him.

(Sweden. you creeoing on Latvia over there?)

(*creeping)

(( Doesn't everyone creep on Latvia? ouo ))

(pfft. point taken. I think Latvia sitting in Swedens lap while sweden hugged him would be adorable though. *isnotapedo* ^J^)

(<3)

indeed doing better. Him getting more sun than usual was helping to give him more of a healthy complexion, instead of his previous paleness.

"Y' l'k h'lth'." He said quietly, continuing to watch him.

pulled from his reverie when Sweden began talking. "W-What?" He asked. He had hadn't been paying enough attention to discern his companion's

words.

Y' l'k h'lth'." He repeated.

understands now. "Oh. Th-Thank you." He answered. "Y-You d-d-do t-too."

nodded. "Th'nks…"

(I have no clue what to say now. .____.)

( ASK HIM TO KISS YO-roller roll'd- )

(*facepalms Russia's face*)
