wondered what he was up to, but didn't want to disturb him...

working on something for Berwald... and would rather keep it a surprise.

worried that Finland was upset with him over something, but would give him his space and wait for him to come back home...

had tried to call him, though he only got voice mail the first time and he didn't like leaving messages...

hadn't heard the phone ring, but he'd been busy with a lot of work lately...

figured as much, which is why he didn't keep calling him. He didn't want to bother him.

wouldn't have minded being bothered by him... much.

wanted to finish what he was making first... and he had a feeling he would mind.

sad to be alone in his house; it felt much colder without Tino there, despite the fact that it was technically the same temperature as it_

had always been. He would do laundry as he waited for the other man to come back; he'd neglected it lately due to being too busy.

knew he hadn't been gone long, probably only a few days and he was sure he'd said something about work to Berwald by way of explanation.

may have not been paying attention...

could have guessed as much.

had been distracted by work...

wouldn't argue that...

hadn't meant to neglect him.

didn't think he was neglecting him. He knew he was busy.

would try to make it up to him later.

wasn't expecting him to, really.

wanted to...

didn't think he should.

wondered why he shouldn't... He wanted to do something nice for the other...

just didn't think he needed too, he wasn't mad at him.

knew he didn't need to.
