took Hana out for a much needed walk.
Sweden
wonders
if he might want some company.
wouldn't mind some company at all, though he had already managed to get a little distracted which caused him to get lost.
might have been following after him, an extra scarf in his hands since he doubted Tino was dressed warmly enough. He followed stealthily_
at a distance, smiling faintly to himself as he watched the pair.
paused as Hana picked up a stick and ran a head of him with it, clearly wanting him to follow her. He blinked a bit as he called after her
before he ran after her.
kept his laughter under his breath as he took longer strides to catch up with them. He let out a high pitched whistle for the dog.
jumped a bit as he heard that, Hana turned and ran back towards the sound. He turned to watch her and blinked when he saw Berwald. He smiled
a bit as he waved. "Stalking?"
shrugged and bent down to lavish the puppy with attention.
watched the two for a bit before he nodded and smiled,
stood back up, dusting his knees off. He held the scarf out towards Tino. "Brought y' this."
looked at the scarf, blinking. "Ah... I wore one."
shook his head. "Isn't warm 'nough." It was well below freezing outside, and he didn't want Tino to catch hypothermia. He leaned down to_
kiss Tino's forehead. "Please?"
huffed a bit at that, he couldn't really say no when he asked him like that. He nodded as he took the scarf and put it on over his other one
.
smiled slightly and rubbed his gloved hand over Tino's arm. He was trying to be more affectionate...
smiled and looked up at him before he leaned up to kiss him lightly. "Thanks."
kissed him back, deepening it briefly before Hana started barking at their feet impatiently. He pulled back with a small sigh.
Tino
was
shocked by that, he smiled a bit as he looked down at Hana, pulling back to pick her up. "You're such a cutie."
reached his arm around Tino's back, trying to convince himself that this was what he should be doing, and that Tino would like it. He was_
willing to try and compromise so that Tino would be happier in the relationship, and while he felt awkward, it wasn't going to kill him.
gave him a slightly confused look with that before he leaned up and pecked him on the cheek. "Want to go back to my place? I can cook
dinner."
tried not to pale at the offer. He nodded. "That sounds good."
smiled at that, "I'll make something Swedish... or you can help cook."
smiled. "Hm." He wouldn't mind Tino's cooking if he was making something that was not Finnish, though he would be more than happy to help.
never really got why he didn't like his food, it was really good.
would attribute it to a difference in taste, rather than insult the food for being disgusting and nauseating...
would be offended by that... he shifted and lightly took his hand instead after he'd put Hana back down. "Come on."
clutched his hand lightly, walking at a slow pace so that Tino didn't have to rush to keep up.
watched Hana as she ran ahead of them, she'd picked up the stick again.
figured that she was safe to run around here, and she didn't usually run too far. He rubbed his thumb on Tino's hand as they walked.
smiled a bit to himself as they walked, he was enjoying this. He tucked his other hand into his pocket as he squeezed his hand lightly.
thought for a few seconds before lifting Tino's hand to his lips, pressing a delicate kiss to the back of it before letting it fall back_
down.
flushed slightly as he looked over at him and smiled, "how are you doing?"
shrugged. "'M fine."
blinked a bit at that, "ah."
"You?"
shrugged a bit, "good."
nodded silently, watching as Hana played with the stick.
kept walking as he held his hand, he glanced over at him every now and then though.
smiled to himself as he watched Hana, he had missed things like this.
thought this was nice. He leaned into him a bit as they walked.
let go of Tino's hand to wrap it around his shoulders.
didn't expect that. He looked over at him and smiled.
smiled back at him and gripped Tino's shoulder.
hummed a bit as they walked. "You're wonderful."
"Ah..." He smiled, glad that Tino's response to the physical affection was positive. "Y' too."
shook his head lightly. "Hardly."
shook his head. "Mhmm."
smiled a bit and leaned into him even more.
tightened his grasp on Tino as they walked, and whistled for Hana when she started to wander too far. At least she was good at listening_
most of the time and came back to them, her tail wagging excitedly as she showed off the stick she had found.
laughed a bit as he saw Hana with her stick. She had missed Berwald, he could tell that much.
stepped away from Tino so that he could bend down. He went to grab the stick, only for Hana to dart off a few feet, shaking her butt as if_
it were to tease him.
watched the two as he stepped to the side a bit, letting them play.
chased after Hana, grabbing the stick and playing tug-o-war with her for a little bit until she gave it up. She sat down and shook her butt_
expectantly, glancing from the stick to him. He laughed quietly and threw the stick a short distance and walked back to Tino.
laughed a bit as he watched the two, "she likes having you around."
nodded. "'M glad."
started walking again, they almost back to his place.
smiled and stuffed his hands in to his pockets.
glanced over at him and smiled when they got back to his place he unlocked the door, letting Hana run in head, the stick still in her mouth.
laughed quietly at Hana and followed her in.
followed the two inside, kicking his boots off he shut the front door. He took off both the scarfs, handing the one back to Berwald before
he hung up the unused leash.
slid off his shoes and began stripping out of his many layers of jackets and sweaters.
watched him for a bit, kind of maybe distracted before he went to the kitchen to start dinner.
picked up Hana and scratched her belly as he followed after Tino. He may have been paying more attention to the dog than to Tino...
didn't mind, Hana needed the attention. He felt like hadn't been loving her enough lately.
would probably give her too much attention once they had moved in together.
pulled out some potatoes, salmon and some other items.
ruffled Hana's belly, giving her eskimo kisses and talking to her as though she were an adorable little baby.
couldn't help but laugh a bit as he glanced over at the two before he went about making the stew.
Sweden
was
too invested in playing with Hana to realize that Tino was laughing at them. He grabbed the stick she had been playing with and began_
scurrying through the house with it, getting her to yip excitedly as she chased after him.
Tino
was
happy to see the two playing, he was actually mildly jealous of Hana and how she could get Berwald to act that way.
would act that way towards Sealand, as well. He liked playing with children and animals...
just thought he was being very loose and open... he focused on making dinner though, no point in brooding over it.
Sweden
was
always this way with Hana, especially when he hadn't seen her in a long time... He had no idea it upset Tino.
wasn't really upset about it... at least he wasn't going to show him that he was.
would realize it sooner or later. His face was pink as he held Hana in his arms somewhat breathlessly. He returned to the kitchen and held_
the small pup out so that she could lick happily at Tino's face as she panted.
blinked as he was licked, he smiled a bit and patted her on the head before he went to check on the stew.
set Hana down and washed his hands in the sink. He walked up behind Tino and wiped his wet hands on the other man's face.
startled and made a face as he pushed the hands away from his face. "What are you doing?" He pouted a bit.
smirked and leaned down to kiss Tino's hair. "Smells good."
smiled a bit, "thanks."
nodded, wondering if he needed help with anything.
had everything under control.
wrapped his arms around Tino from behind and nibbled at his ear lightly as he cooked.
shivered a bit at that, as he paused, he wasn't used to Berwald doing things like that. Not that he was complaining... he liked it.
stopped once Tino paused.
smiled slightly and went back to stirring the stew. "That's nice."
waited a few seconds before resuming kissing at his ear, this time his hand starting to travel down towards his pants...
flushed a bit at that as he tried to focus on the stew. "Mmm..." he didn't really want him to stop.
slid one of his hands up Tino's shirt to caress the soft hair that covered his chest, while his other trailed over his pants teasingly.
shuddered a bit at the hands on him, he nearly dropped the spoon into the pot. "Ah... if you... keep that up dinner might burn."
"Hm?" He hummed against Tino's neck, nipping it lightly.
made a small sound of pleasure at that as he did drop the spoon this time.
smirked, pulling his hands back and placing them on Tino's shoulders. "Y' doin' okay?"
huffed a bit as he pulled his hands back. He looked up at him and nodded, "fine..." what else was he supposed to say to that.
nearly laughed at his expression. He kissed the top of his head before kneeling back on to the ground to play with Hana.
went back to focusing on the stew, he was going to kick Berwald.
waited until Tino was focusing on the stew to trail one hand up the inside of his thigh.
jumped a bit at that, though he pretended not to notice as he looked away from him.
smirked at the jump, but frowned when he pretended not to notice. He slid his hand higher until he felt a slight bulge beneath his fingers.
sucked in a breath, really trying to keep up his not noticing appearance.
massaged him gently, watching Tino's face from the corner of his eyes with amusement.
flushed darkly at that, struggling not to show it as he tried not to get mess up the stew.
"How's 't comin'?" He asked, tempted to pull Tino's pants down right there...
shifted a bit as he looked up, not wanting to look at him. "Good... Almost done."
"Ah." He nodded, pulling his hand back and ruffling Hana's fur before standing back up. It wasn't as much fun when Tino didn't squirm.
Tino
is
really going to kick him... somewhere where it will count.
Sweden
was
trying to be more forward for him! This was what Tino wanted!
did want it, Berwald was just picking a strange time for it... and the fact that he was stopping...
didn't want their dinner to get burnt!
took the stew off the stove and grabbed some bowls and spoons, setting it all out on the table along with some mugs and the milk.
waited for an inopportune moment as Tino was setting something down to lean down and kiss him deeply on the lips.
Tino
was
caught off guard by that as he almost dropped the plate he was holding.
smirked in to the kiss, reaching out to steady the plate with one hand, his other hand reaching around Tino's waist.
flushed a bit as he returned the kiss, wondering just when the other was going to pull away this time.
carefully took the plate and set it on the table without breaking the kiss. He reached his hand up to cup the side of Tino's face.
Tino
was
still waiting for him to pull away and go back to being cold and stand offish. He wasn't complaining about the kiss though, he just wasn't
holding any hopes over it lasting.
pulled Tino closer, biting at his lower lip lightly as his hand ran through his hair.
flushed a bit more, making a small sound into the kiss as he moved closer to him.
felt his heart race a bit harder at the sound. He pulled back with a steadying breath, his cheeks hot as he rested his forehead against_
Tino's. As much as he wanted to continue with it, the dinner on the table would go cold soon, and it would have been a waste... "We should_
eat..." He said quietly, not moving.
took a few moments, biting his lower lip lightly as he pulled back with that and nodded. "We uh... yeah." He picked up the plate again and
moved it to the right spot before he grabbed another plate.
sighed quietly to himself, feeling disappointed in the lack of contact and fact that they would now have to eat... Even if he was hungry.
glanced over at him as he put some forks and knives down. "I have a microwave..."
"Hm?" He looked up as he got out a couple of glasses.
watched him for a second and shook his head. "Never mind," he smiled.
nodded as he set the glasses down on the table. "Wh'd'y'wan't' drink?"
pointed to the jug of milk he had out already. "I put the milk out already."
nodded and poured some for both of them.
took his seat and thanked him.
sat down silently, resting his hands in his lap as he looked across the table at Tino.
looked over at him and smiled, "go ahead."
nodded, putting a small smile on his face as he tried to pay attention to eating. Unfortunately, his attention was drawn elsewhere, and any_
delicious taste in the food was wasted on him.
ate quietly, glancing up at him every so often before he set his spoon down. He got up and went to put the rest of his stew in the fridge,
he didn't really want to finish it right now.
ate his food at a patient pace, not wanting to choke. It was good to eat a full meal, after-all. Though he didn't pay much attention to_
what he was eating at all, instead his mind drifting towards Tino, and how nice it had been to see the light flush on his cheeks.
busied himself with cleaning up the kitchen as Berwald ate, he was trying not to think about the kiss... or the touching.
finished eating after an eternity had passed. He carried the dishes to the sink and started slowly washing them.
went over to him and grabbed the dishes, putting them into the sink. "They can be done later. Do you want to watch some tv?"
itched to finish the dishes... the dirt would get dried on, and they'd be harder to clean later... "Eh..."
looked up at him and frowned a bit, he huffed and washed the dishes, not letting him do it.
pushed Tino out of the way to do it himself, smearing soapy bubbles on Tino's face.
frowned at the and moved to shove him out of the way so he could finished them, wiping his face on his shoulder the get rid of the bubbles.
stood directly behind Tino, his arms wrapping around him to get wet. He grabbed more bubbles and patted them on Tino's nose.
looked over at him and glared a bit, "Berwald..." he just wanted to finish the dishes.
"Hmm?" He hummed innocently in to Tino's ear, a soap covered hand finding its way up his shirt.
flushed at that, he tried to focus on the dishes, almost finished washing them.
smiled at the flush, his hand dipping down in to the waistband of Tino's pants daringly.
shifted a bit at that as he worked on the last dish. "A-are you just going to stop once I'm done and go on like nothing happened?"
"Maybe." He teased, kissing Tino's ear. His hand dipped a bit lower, slowly tickling at the hairs beneath the fabric.
shivered as he rinsed the dish off, "then... you shouldn't tease me like this..." He would seriously kick him if he kept it up.
"Why not?" He grinned, trailing his tongue along the edge of his ear as he pulled his hand out of his pants. It was an awkward angle, and_
as much as his teasing game was working him up, he didn't think stripping Tino in the kitchen would be a good idea...
put the plate in the drying sink as he finished the dishes, "because if you keep teasing me and don't actually do anything, I'm going to
kick you and make sure you wont be able to do anything for a long time." He really wouldn't mind that.... at all...
cringed inwardly at the thought of that, but kept himself from wincing. He nearly said that Tino wouldn't do that... but he knew Tino well_
enough to believe the threat. He wrapped his arms around Tino lightly and kissed the back of his head. "What'f I want'd t' do somethin'?"
smiled a bit at the question, he dried his hands off on a hand towel. "Then I wouldn't stop you, but you've yet to do anything at all, I'm
starting to doubt you ever will."
frowned, his previous confidence beginning to falter. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about it, but he had trouble motivating himself_
to try for anything; he felt incredibly self conscious about doing anything with Tino. "Ah..."
shifted slightly to glance over at him, he paused. He was quickly regretting being so honest about it. "Never mind... It's fine." He nodded
and smiled with that, now he just wanted to go to bed. "Thank you for staying for dinner."
"I... Y' want me t' leave?" He asked slowly. He didn't really want to leave yet, but he wasn't going to force himself on Tino.
blinked at that and shook his head, he didn't really want him to leave. "N-No... I want you to stay, just.. don't want to make you
uncomfortable."
took in a slow steadying breath, assuring himself that this was what Tino wanted, and that he wasn't forcing himself on him. He shook his_
head and moved so that he could kiss Tino's lips chastely.
leaned up and kissed him back lightly. "I understand if you don't want to do anything beyond the kissing and what not. Just keep in mind, I
Tino
will
kick if you keep it up like this."
"Why?" He asked innocently as he wrapped his arms around Tino.
frowned at that, "because your going to give me a serious complex."
frowned and leaned back. "Hm?"
looked up at him, "I've told you a few times now... that I want you and yet you're always so stand offish. Makes me think I'm doing
something wrong."
sighed, swallowing up his pride as he stopped himself from kissing Tino's forehead, instead bending down lower so that he could kiss him on_
the lips, feeling much more timid about it now that it wasn't teasing, and he had been called out on it. He pressed in to the kiss and held_
Tino tighter, his fingers clutching to the back of his shirt.
had not expected that response at all, he had just expected him to grunt and let go and go all silent on him in instead. He was a bit
shocked by the kiss and it took him a moment before he returned it, wrapping his own arms around Berwald.
pulled back, licking his lips as he let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. "I... want you." He said slowly, his cheeks turning_
dark red at the admission.
smiled a bit at that as he looked up at him, "really?" he was sure if he should really believe that or not.
nodded, choking slightly on his words out of awkward timidness. He hated actually vocalizing these types of things. "Ja... 'Ve always_
want'd you."
blinked a fews times before he leaned up and kissed him again lightly. "You don't have to be so shy about it..." He nodded, "we're together
right?" he held onto him as he kissed him on the cheek.
nodded with a soft sigh. He gently rubbed Tino's back, willing his heart to stop racing so rapidly. "Y' wan't' watch tv?"
shook his head a bit as he leaned into him, "not really... but if you want to we can." He wasn't going to force him to do anything he didn't
want to do or felt uncomfortable doing.
"Ah..." He said slowly; he had thought it would be easier to work in to doing other things while watching a movie, but if Tino didn't want_
that. "I... D' y' wan't'..." He gulped, his face turning darker as his expression grew dim. "go t' bed then?" He felt so painfully forward_
saying it like that. Modern day humans may not have batted an eyelash at asking someone for sex so outright, but he still retained a few_
tendencies from their more restrained times.
reached up and brushed his hand over his cheek smiling a bit, he thought Berwald's awkwardness was pretty cute. "If you want to, but only if
you want to."
nodded, trying to put on a smile that came off as more of an awkward grimace. "I do..." It felt so weird to be so forward, however.
blinked a bit at that before he kissed him again. "Okay," he wrapped his arms around him lightly. "You're cute when you're being forward."
flushed darker, if that was possible. "'M glad..." He felt like an idiot. He kissed him back, relaxing slightly at how well their lips_
seemed to fit together; even if it did require him to stoop down quite a bit.
didn't think he was idiot at all. He pulled him closer with that before he pulled back, "I also think you're attractive when you blush like
that."
shook his head. "Y're better lookin' when you do..." He said with a sigh as he pulled back and stood up straight, his back hurting from the_
position. "Y' wan't' go now?" Not that he was impatient, but prolonging it wasn't going to help him feel any better.
nodded with that as he pulled back and grabbed his hand, pulling him to his bedroom. "I don't," he pouted a bit at that. "look good when I
blush I mean."
nodded, following after him. "Y' do."
pulled him over to the bed, sitting him down on the edge of it before he moved to straddle his lap, kissing him lightly. "I don't think I do
."
"Ah..." He nodded, wrapping his arms around Tino's waist and kissing back faintly. "Y're wrong."
smiled lightly at that, kissing him again lightly. "I'm not." He wrapped his arms around the shoulders.
massaged Tino's back lightly as he pressed a bit deeper in to the kiss.
pulled him a bit closer, kissing him deeper in response.
breathed in shakily, reaching a hand around to begin unbuttoning the front of Tino's shirt.
leaned back slightly, his own hands sliding around to work at the buttons on Berwald's shirt in return.
shivered to himself and slid his hand over Tino's chest once he had finished unbuttoning the shirt.
got his shirt unbuttoned, he broke the kiss. "I love you..." he whispered, he finished unbuttoning his shirt and kissed him again.
"Hn..." He mumbled in agreement. His hands reached up, pushing the shirt over Tino's shoulders; he trailed kisses down his jaw and along_
the smooth skin of his collar bone, following as he slid the shirt off.
shifted letting the shirt slid off. He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the kisses, moving his own hands to his Berwald's shoulders.
lightly nipped at the skin on his neck, but not hard enough to leave a mark. He trailed his hands over Tino's back, relishing in its warmth.
flushed lightly as he tilted his head allowing him more room, the nip pulled a small sound of pleasure from his lips.
kneaded the skin on Tino's back as his breath hitched at the sound. He moved to kiss him on the lips as deeply as he could, trying to_
put all of his passion and need in to it.
the kiss shocked him, he wrapped his arms around him and pulled himself closer to him, letting him deepen it as much as he wanted. God he'd
wanted Berwald to kiss him like that for years.
nibbled at Tino's lip before pulling back breathlessly.
flushed as he looked up at him, he pushed his shirt off his shoulders.
shivered, his skin tingling lightly beneath his touch. He shed his shirt and moved them on to the bed so that he hovered over Tino.
ran his hands over Berwald's chest once they were more on the bed. He leaned up at kissed him again, pulling him closer.
held himself up with one arm to keep all of his weight off of Tino. He traced the side of Tino's face with his free hand, smiling to himself
at how beautiful the other was.
looked up at him questioningly, his hands resting on his shoulder blades. "Berwald?" he kept his voice low, almost a whisper as he smiled
a bit.
sat up a bit more to look over Tino. "Y're beautiful..." He admired quietly.
flushed darkly as he smiled, "you're sexy."
shook his head and laid back down, kissing along Tino's shoulder to help conceal his blush at the compliment.
smiled a bit at that as he closed his eyes, his hands ran down Berwald's back, tucking under the waist band of his pants. " 've always
thought that."
breathed in sharply as he felt Tino's hand beneath his waistband. He flushed darker as his hand traveled down Tino's chest, resting on_
his belt before fumbling to unfasten it.
moved one of his hands to the back of Berwald's neck as he pulled him into a light kiss, his other hand running over his backside over the
boxers.
shifted as he felt Tino's hand and kissed him back, forcing himself to keep it light and steady. He finished unfastening the belt, moving to
the button on his pants nimbly.
slowly deepened the kiss, stilling the hand on Berwald's rear. His other hand shifted up into his hair as he pulled him closer.
hummed quietly in to the kiss and unconsciously pressed closer to him as he finally managed to get the pants loosened.
