Filtered away from Pakistan and Wolfram like whoa; voice

What should one take into consideration when planning a date? What would usually be expected, and what is possible in this place?

...I... [There's a short pause, and his voice is a bit stronger when he speaks again, but still trmbling slightly.] ...for a first date.

Poland? [And now there clearly is some worry in it.] Where are you? Can we talk for a moment?

[//Filter]

Has someone seen Minsk as of lately?

Hey. [Get another hug that is way too gentle to really classify as a bro-hug.] If you ever want to tell me, I'll be there. I won't leave your side.

...unless you really want me to.

[Swallows hard, then shakes his head again]

You like, wouldn't want to hang out with me anymore. I--I can like, deal on my own, right?

[Not... really sounding like someone who can deal on his own.]

I can't imagine anything that would make me want to not be by your side anymore.

[There's a slight insecurity in that, though, because if he ever gets those wrong feelings again that he ~~wasn't able to deny anymore~~ had when Poland dressed up as a girl... That would mean that he couldn't be by Poland's side like this anymore.]

[Clings, forcing himself to breathe deep and not panic]

...Then like, don't try to. I don't--I totally don't want you to hate me, no matter what!

I won't.

[He pulls away a bit, far enough to be able to look at Poland's face.]

I could never, ever hate you.

[Poland... doubts that. Which is pretty easy to read on his face, as he looks away]

...Look, I like, said it's not a big deal, okay? I just... It's no big.

[...Liet can probably also tell that he's lying. He's not very good at it, after all.]

[Especially not if you have spend many years of your life at his side, if he has been your most important person for a long, long time.]

..I'm sorry. I didn't mean to neglect you because of her, I really didn't.

[Poland blinks, then blushes slightly. So close, Lithuania, and yet so, so far...]

It's--no, you like, haven't--I'm totally a big kid, Liet, it's not like I need someone around me every minute of the day or anything...!

[Should he just... pretend like that's all of what's wrong?]

But I haven't been around enough, have I? Or talked about her too much?

[Not convincing enough, Poland.]

Please tell me what it is, and I'll try to fix it.

[Frustrated, because he doesn't want to talk about this]

Oh, my God, Liet, I said it's no big deal! Okay?!

[He doesn't want to admit that it bothers him when he talks about her, because that's a step away from admitting that it bothers him so much because it's like rubbing his face in the knowledge that his love won't ever be reciprocated because Liet likes girls;;;;]

[He winces and closes his eyes, his arms going limp around Poland, his voice slightly scared when he speaks. The blond doesn't get this kind of frustration very often, and when he does it has never, ever been directed at Lithuania before. And losing Poland would really be the last thing that he'd want.]

I'm sorry - I'll try to fix it, I'll really try.

Fix what? You're like, not doing anything wrong...

[Which doesn't make him sound much less unhappy.]

[He shakes his head helplessly, trying to look the other nation in the eye.]

I don't know... But I don't want to hurt you.

[Stubbornly] When did I say you were hurting me?

[...Yeah, that's his pride talking.]

[He's lying there perfectly limp and unmoving, only looking at Poland.]

You weren't yourself. [And it was my fault.]

[Looks down at Liet, and feels guilty. He doesn't want to make him make that face, no matter how miserable Liet's making him. With a sigh, he lies down next to him, pulling him into a careful hug]

You like, always worry too much...

[Shaking his head slightly and then pressing it against the other nation's shoulder.]

I don't want you to be hurt. Never.

[Strokes Liet's hair, and kisses the top of his head softly]

[Sounding a little tired] I'm totally fine. Shhh...

I'm sorry...

[Your icon. His arms around Poland tighten and he practically clings for once, scared to hav edone Poland wrong enough to lose him.]

[Yeah, this icon. This is what Liet does when Poland flips out, so he figures it should probably work on him, right?]

Shh. You always freak about the little things, Liet...

[And okay, he's probably more worried than Liet for once, and yes, Liet has been hurting him, but since he absolutely CAN'T tell him why, he might as well pretend it's okay, right?]

You're not angry at me?

[He calms down, relaxing in the blond's arms.]

...No. I'm like, not mad.

[At least, he doesn't think he is. Just... hurt. And he can't say so, and it's frustrating.]

Good.

If...if I ever do anything to really upset you, please tell me. I don't want to make you sad.

[Okay. Okay, Poland, come on, you might not be able to tell him you like him, but you can do this... He told Wolfram he would a while ago, and he'd hate to be proven wrong.]

I... uh... [His grip on Liet loosens a little, and he turns his head away into the pillows]

Like, in that case... IreallylikedwearingthatdresscauseitlookedgoodanditfeltrightandIthinkitstotallyunfairtosayIshouldn'tdoitagaincauseElainesaiditwasokayandshedtotallyknowandstuffsoIthinkitssuperlameforyoutoactlikeIshouldn'twearthestuffIwannawear!

[...to spare you having to read that, it's "I really liked wearing that dress, 'cause it looked good and it felt right, and I think it's totally unfair to say I shouldn't do it again, 'cause Elaine said it was okay (and she'd totally know and stuff), so it's super-lame for you to act like I shouldn't wear the stuff I wanna wear!"]

[Liet looks up and stares for a moment. This really came totally out of the nothing for him, so it takes some moments for him to wrap his mind around that concept.]

...you... you wanted to?
