if there is anything he can do to help.... Although his unemployment rate isn't much better...

sure that right now, it's just a matter of waiting it out, to see what will happen. ;;

... would like to help though... He pushes up his glasses, 'Perhaps you'd like to come eat at mines?'

rolls from his stomach onto his back, stomach growling. .////. "S-Sure!"

smiles lightly, 'Is tonight okay?'

nods, a bit in awe at being invited for dinner. "Yeah!"

watches his reaction, eyes widening in surprise. He looked so happy, '... how about Coffee till then?'

nearly begins to glow. *A* "Coffee sounds good!"

... pushes up his glasses, using the sun to hide his expression. 'Where would you suggest?' He's not familiar with the area >~<

stands up, smiling. "There's a place near here." It's a bar... "I think they sell coffee!"

raises an eyebrow... 'Y-you think?'

isn't much of the coffee drinker. "A-Ah... yeah! I think." He smiles a bit nervously, rubbing at the back of his neck. "Umm... we can find_

_a place if you want..."

... shakes his head, 'No. I'll trust your tastes.' He smiles in reassurance, stepping aside so that Slovkia can lead the way.

hops off of the porch, hands in his pockets as he continued to grin. Finally! An outing! And with a good friend too. He was beginning_

_to miss visiting him, but with the economy as it is, he never could find the time.

follows behind, smiling slightly. It was hard to find time now-a-days, which is why he took the time out to see the smaller nation today.

falls in step with him, smiling up at him. "I've missed you," he beams.

flushes lightly, 'I'm sorry... just.' He starts before realising Slovakia would understand. They've both been busy.

bumps into him playfully, still smiling. "You'll have to stop by again, my Internet is slow."

pouts, 'A fast internet connection doesn't follow me whereever I go, you know.'

pouts back. "I meant for you to look at my computer and stuff."

sighs, 'Well, alright. Only for you'

smiles, bumping into him again. "I'll give you a pass to one of my spas in return."

flushes, always at a bit of a loss at how to reply to Slovakia's playfullness... he was surprised the nation still enjoyed hanging out with_

him. 'That would definitely be an incentive... you'd be going too right?'

nods, not quite sure why the other nation was changing colours. "Of course~ It's no fun to go to the spas alone."

nods, clearing his throat. 'Then I'll accept it... but really, if you ever have computer troubles just ask.'

loops his arm with Eduard's, humming. "Well, I really don't use it too often, but I wanna play games on it and I can't connect."

pushes up his glasses, hiding his cheeks. 'Sounds like an IP problem... I'll take a look into it.'

peers at him from the corner of his eyes.

only pulls back his hand once composed. 'Is that alright?' he asks, turning to the other with a questioning smile.

nods, flashing him a smile again. It felt good to be with his friend again. It had been too quiet since the break up. "Definitely!"

keeps himself in check, 'How long now then?' He asks, taking a gander around.

quickly remembers that they were actually going somewhere and looked around. "Almost there," he hums.

sighs in relief, thinking they might be lost. 'Good, I really need some coffee.' >~<

spots the bar and takes his hand, pulling him inside. It was small and homey, an older place. www.visitslovakia.com/da...

startles slightly, following him in. 'L-looks like it serves coffee...'

pulls him towards the main bar. "I really don't come here for anything other than a drink..." He looks around before sitting, smiling_

_to him. "Maybe I should try to get lunch here..."

splutters, 'I-isn't it a bit early for drinks? Lunch is much more appropriate.'

wiggles in the revolving bar seat, looking at a menu. They had a menu! "I guess," he says, more to himself. It all looked really good.

concerned for his friend. 'Promise me you won't drink until after 3 in the furture?' He peers over his shoulder to look at the menu as he_

sits... some of it did look good.

slides him the menu, grinning. "I don't come here during the day!" he giggles, spinning in the seat. "Just on the weekends."

nods, 'Good... alcoholism is never the answer.' He simply picks a coffee and simple cake, not wanting to spoil his dinner.

orders some red cabbage soup, his favorite. "I'm not an alcoholic," he pouts, more than tempted to get beer but just gets water.

hmms, giving him a suspcious look. He's teasing of course, but he didn't need to tell him that/

leans against his shoulder, looking at all the decorations of the place (they looked so bright in the day time).

tenses slightly, looking at the other with a confused expression. 'How is your tourism?' he asks, pushing up his glasses.

picks at Eduard's sleeve, simply in a daze at having his friend so close. >u< "It's growing!" he says happily. "I'm hoping that we get_

_more people, so we can open more businesses." He looks up at him. "Pretty soon I can go visit you next time."

smiles, 'I'd like that a lot.' He has choosen to chalk up Slovakia's actions to 'being friendly', making it all a lot more easier to deal_

with.

pretty sure that more than one nation would frown at him if he were to tell Eduard that he had always had a childhood crush on_

_him when he was younger, and has just gotten used to being so close to him. He sips at his drink, suddenly feeling conscious as he_

_remembers his old emotions for the nation.

's eyes brighten when he recieves the coffee and cake. 'It look delicious... Thank you,' he says to the waitress before taking a sip of his_

coffee with his free hand.

releases his arm when his own soup is slid in front of him. He chimes his thanks before digging in. He looks at Eduard, curious to how he_

_was enjoying. He gives him a *very* intense stare.

twitches, returning the stare. 'You're being rude,' he says, tapping the others nose.

smiles, pale cheeks coloring in the slightest. "I just want to know what you think of the cake and coffee."

hums, 'The coffee is good.' He takes a bite of the cake, utter bliss expressed on his face. 'Hmmf mmf mff.' So is the cake.'

glows in pleasure that he was enjoying it. He swings from side to side in his seat as he sips the soup, unable to stop smiling.

glad that his friend seems cheered up. Good food tends to do that... 'You should have came to me if you were hard up...' he says, frowning

lightly.

's frown falters a bit. "I didn't want to bother you," he admits, swirling the soup with his spoon. "And... I didn't want the other nations_

_thinking I couldn't hold my own... especially after... that was called off."

looks sympathetic while pushing up his glasses. 'You deserve better,' he replies, feeling a bit.... well, he's out of his depth.

rubs at his own hand, smile slipping more when he found it bare. He shakes his head quickly, looking up at Eduard. "I'll find someone_

_one day!" he hums, smiling again.

smiles, 'I'm sure you will. You have a sunny disposition that most people would like.'

nods slowly, turning his attention back to his food. He has to wonder if that really was true or not... but then again, Eduard wouldn't lie!

wouldn't say it, if it wasn't true. He lightly nudges the nation with his elbow. 'You'll be fine.'

nudges him back, chuckling quietly. "Yeah..."

takes a bite of his cake, 'Just bake them something.'

looks at him. "Bake them something?" He flushes brightly as he sees that Eduard is eating one of his baked goods (sure, *he* didn't_

_bake it, but it was like an indirect kiss of sorts). "Y-Yeah... maybe."

nods, 'The ways to a guys heart is his stomach, right?' He finishes the cake, moving on to the coffee. 'I remember you being rather good at_

it.'

turns darker and he quickly looks away, coughing into his napkin before sipping his drink. What was happening to make him... so_

_suddenly aware?

watches him, worrying. 'Are you okay?'

waves his hand before straightening his shoulders, swallowing down the water along with the blush. This was non-sense, he had to compose_

_himself! "fine fine!" he assures him, smiling as usual.

cheeks redden with the smile. He returns it, 'Your soup is going to get cold.'

nods and quickly finishes the last of the soup. At least by eating he had managed to get his heart from beating so loudly >>

sips his coffee, glad to see the boy eating something. 'Any requests for tonight?'

shakes his head, leaning against the bar. "I picked lunch, you pick dinner."

make him Jellied Veal then. 'Alright!' he chimes, expression bright.

his smile, his own growing more.

sips his coffee, raising an eyebrow in question.

just smiles... and smiles... and smiles...

... 'Creepy,' he mumurs, deadpan.

spins out of his chair after leaving enough money for the tab and a tip. "I'm not that creepy."

frowns, collecting the money and slipping it into the Slovakian's back pocket. 'That you are. And I invited you out, I'm paying.' He passes_

over his credit card before the other can argue.

's smile quickly disappears. He had invited him to dinner, not lunch! ;;

had suggested Lunch however, or atleast coffee. 'Soo... what now? Head to mine?'

pay him back some way or the other, stuffing his hands into his own pockets. "Sure."

walks along, 'Don't look so upset.'

punches his arm lightly. "Let me treat you at least once."

rubs his arms, feigning pain. 'Maybe, one day.'

pouts, trying to think of a way to repay him before walking out of the bar, holding tightly onto Eduard's hands.

follows, trying to ignore the drop in his stomach.
