doubts his winter is half as bad as it could be.
doesn't like the idea of it getting colder though. It depresses him. He sighs, rolling over onto his stomach on the grass. 'G'day, old man.'
glances down at him before he moved to take a seat next to him, or close to him. "I'm not old."
smirks, rolling over so that his head is practically in England's lap. He grins up at him, 'I can see all the wrinkles from here. They have dust in them that's older than me.'
glares down at him and puts a hand over the others face. "Get your bloody head out of my lap."
licks his hand in response.
scrunches up his nose at that and pulls his hand away as if he'd been stung by a bee. "Child."
sticks out his tongue, 'Your Child.'
rolls his eyes at that, "get yer' head off of me."
reaches up to pat his cheek. 'Why? It's comfortable.'
isn't sure why the other is being so friendly with him, in all honesty he wasn't used to this from the Australian.
perhaps just a bit deprived of nation contact. He's also trying to elicit a reaction from the man. He stretches out, still looking up at the man. 'How's Retirement?'
stared at him before looking away. "You're being an idiot."
Shifts in his lap, aiming to get comfortable. 'I learned from the biggest idiot of us all.'
stared at him for a moment, "you must be talking about Greg."
Holds back a snort. 'Yeah, that's why I'm not a wet blanket like you.'
smacked him lightly on the top of the head. "I am not a wet blanket."
hums, giving the man a suspicious look. 'I dunno. Your weather would suggest otherwise.'
narrows his eyes at him a bit, "the weather is not my bloody fault."
fails to hold back a smile. 'I dunno old man. I have a sunny disposition and my country is pretty sunny.'
((England should pick up his head and then dump it on the ground. Australia is being a cheeky Bam.))
rolls his eyes at him and picks up his head, moving it out of his lap before he got up.
rolls over, soon pushing himself up to a standing position. 'I'm guessing you're mad.'
stares at him blankly, "no just annoyed. I wouldn't say I'm mad yet."
raises an eyebrow, 'You're more irritable lately.... not getting any?'
tucks his hands in his pockets. "That doesn't concern you."
shrugs, 'It kind of does. Since I was the one giving it to you not too long ago.'
looked away from him, slightly biting his lower lip.
uses the chance to slide up close to him, grinning from ear to ear. 'What's wrong?' he asks, trying to catch his gaze.
glances over at him only because he's suddenly very in his personal space. "Nothing is wrong William."
stays where he is, sighing. 'Alright. But if you need someone to listen, I can do it over a cuppa and some bikkies.'
watches him for a few seconds. "Tell my why it concerns you so much?"
straightens up, smiling. 'While you did it in a pretty crappy way, you opened my horizons up.' He shrugs, 'And maybe I worry about ya, a little.'
frowns at that, "well I can't apologize for that." He didn't say that he doubted the fact that William worried.
does worry. He reaches up to ruffle his hair, leaning in again. 'I think one of the best feelings you can get know-a-days is knowing that someone worries about you.' He lets his hand drop, 'Especially when is_
*everyone is all me me me.'
brushed the hand away a bit when the younger nation ruffled his hair. "Oh and here I thought you were just a horny teenager."
laughs, 'Well, I wouldn't say no.'
rolls his eyes at him, "no of course you wouldn't."
grins, finally stepping back to give him his space. 'Don't sound so disappointed.'
smiles back a bit at, amused now. "why would I be disappointed in the fact that would still be willing to sleep with me?"
looks surprised for a moment before he looks pleased. He had caused that smile, 'I dunno. Some blokes don't appreciate the significance that is a charming aussie bloke wanting to sleep with them.'
would never admit that he liked when the Australian visited. It would just go straight to the younger nations head. "I wouldn't quite call you charming William."
nods, looking rather serious. 'I'd settle for good looking.'
raises a brow at that and looks him over, "when you're not annoying me maybe."
rolls his eyes, 'You thrive on your former colonies peeving you off.'
folds his arms over his chest. "That's far from true," he turned away from him with that and headed towards his house, he wanted tea now.
Follows, hands in his pockets and a grin on his face. 'Mine will be a milk and two sugars, please.'
waved his hand at him dismissively as he headed for his kitchen, putting the kettle on. "So I take it you have yet to find someone else to fuck?"
Shrugs, 'I had a brief thing with Turkey, and obviously some humans. But no nations.'
got out some scones he had just baked earlier and set them out. They were the good ones with raisins in them and everything.
Makes a small face at the black... Things. He sits as far away as possible from them, 'So... The Queen's not holding up, huh?
set the plate on the table before he got the sugar and milk out and set those out as well. "She's... she'll be fine."
him a sympathetic smile. 'She will. I'm pretty sure she's eager to outlive Prince Charles.... I would be, if I was her.'
nods as he took a seat after he'd pour the tea and passed William his tea. "Yeah, she's a tough one."
nods reassuringly. He thanks him for the tea, 'I warn ya though. When she does pass I think the people back home are gonna use it as an opportunity to become a Republic.'
raised a brow at that and lightly shook his head. "They can try, but I doubt that will happen."
raises an eyebrow, 'There are a lot of unhappy people back home that hate the fact the Queen is our figurehead.'
leaned back a bit in his seat as he made his tea. "Hmm... can't make everyone happy William."
hums, 'I try though. It's why Australian's were recently discovered to be the happiest people. Prosperity and all that.'
rolled his eyes a bit at that but nodded. "I see..." he took one of the scones and took a bite.
eyes them up but decides against it. 'It's just dumb luck though.'
thought they were really good. "Dumb luck?"
he would, 'Yeah. That we somehow aren't in a constant state of recession like you guys. Instead we're growing.'
sighed into his cup of tea and looked away from him. "That is dumb luck."
uh huhs. 'Yep. Guess it helps that I'm fairly isolated from everyone else, huh?'
takes another bite of his scone. "Sure."
watched him for a bit, "are you staying over then?"
sips his tea, 'Do I get to order in, or cook?'
stared at him and then sighed. "You can cook, I'm not buying you anymore food."
smiles, 'Then I can stay.'
returns the smile and looks down at his cup. "I'll go make up the guest room then."
nods, 'I'll go look in the cupboard.' He picks up the cups, putting them in the sink. 'If you have the right stuff I could make a curry?'
got up and smoothed out his shirt and nodded, "yeah I should."
him a grin over his shoulder, 'Curry it is then.'
raised a brow at that before he headed up to the second level to clean and fix up the guest bedroom for the Australian.
just being sociable. He must be getting suspicious in his old age. He hums as he starts cooking, looking around for a radio after a few moments
took his time making the bed before he went back down stairs and turned on the telly.
turns quiet when he hears the telly, deciding to half listen as he cooks. When the curry is set to simmer he joins Arthur on the couch.
glanced over at him when he was joined, his shifted a bit to get more comfortable. "Thanks for cooking."
shrugs, 'No need to mention it.' He makes himself comfortable, checking the time before his attention turns to the TV. 'Should be done in an hour.'
nods a bit at that, "time for an episode of Doctor Who then."
makes a bit of a face. 'Why not ripper street instead?'
frowned a bit, He kinda wanted to catch up on Doctor Who, he was two episodes behind still. "Fine."
Frowns at the frown, 'Alright.... Dr. Who. But it's your fault if I'm spoilt beyond repair.'
raised a brow at him, "oh? how is that my fault?"
Shrugs, 'Because I've fallen behind since the Christmas Special.'
looks a bit shocked at that bit nods. "That's the last one I watched."
(Uh.. pretend that's Arthur)
raises an eyebrow, 'Really? That's unlike you.'
shrugs as he settled in to watch the show. "I have been busy."
gets himself comfortable, spreading out on his half of the couch. 'So you say.'
rolls his eyes a bit as he watched the show.
keeps an eye on the time, huffing and hawing at the various shenanigans.
couldn't help but glance over at him during the commercial breaks.
raises an eyebrow, 'Anything wrong?'
shakes his head and focuses on the show again. "Nothing."
nudges him with his foot, 'Do you want me to shut up?'
((Are they watching on the BBC? ))
(( Not wanting to be picky but the BBC doesn't have adverts. Future Reference? ))
((Oh dear, kay well we'll say it's a recording off another channel and you lucky bums.))
starts a bit at the nudge and shakes his head. "No it's fine," he really wasn't bothered by it. He was actually enjoying the company.
