Filtered away from Pakistan and Wolfram like whoa; voice

[cautious_knight]

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?

[I-It's not like he wants to betray anything--he loves his religion--but... :<]

Can't we just, like, you know. Ask?

[It has to be said, Poland is not very into planning this.]

[Major flail!]

But I'm sure there is a certain form, and... I've never done this before but a nice dinner should be part of it, too, shouldn't it?

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I totally haven't done this before, either, remember?

[Maaaaaay be being deliberately unhelpful :\]

There is a person who looks like Italia's older brother who said that he would help us with it. But ...I think flowers are a good idea?

...I still don't know who sent some to me on Valentine's, but... [Can't have been Pakistan for a couple of reasons] ...they are really nice, I hope they'll live a little longer. [Looks over at them.]

[Oh God, Liet, why do you do this to him? ;A;]

I... yeah. Yeah, I like, hope so, too, then.

[Inside, he weeeeeeeps.]

Hey.

[Gets up and pulls his chair around the table to sit down next to his friend and hug him.]

IT's going to be alright.

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[Doesn't say anything, because he's SO scared of saying too much]

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

[He'll just continue to hold Poland until it either gets better or he decides that it is more comfortable if they move over to the bed.]

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[Poland takes another moment to observe how deeply uncool it is to be in love with someone who tries to fix all of his problems by dragging him into bed and holding him... platonically. Liet, you freaking cocktease ;;;;;]

I...I 'm totally fine, Liet, you're like, flipping over nothing again...

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

Just ...tell me what is wrong, and we can try to fix it together? We've been through a lot of things together, this should be no problem, right?

[He doesn't mean to be one he just thinks that Poland needs sleep and that it'll be easier to fall asleep if he'd held by him.]

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[Poland shakes his head quickly. Sure, like, all of his other friends here keep saying that he needs to talk to Liet about this, but... he's too scared of being rejected as a friend, and perhaps above all, he's too damned shy to say anything without being pressed a LOT.]

I-No. It's... like, not something I can tell you, Liet, but I swear it's nothing bad, so just... [SIGH, what am life]

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

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.

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

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.]

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[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!

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

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.

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

[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.

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[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?]

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

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.

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

[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;;;;]

[Action]

[watchful-knight.livejournal.com]

[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.

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

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

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

Re: [Action]

[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.

[Action]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

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

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